Chapter 57: Slaying Demons and Evil Spirits

Among the dozen Feiyun Guards brought by Lu Yunfei, there are five masters in the late stage of Qi Refining, including himself, and the rest have at least the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Although Song Qingming broke through the sixth level of Qi Refining less than a year ago, his cultivation level is almost the bottom among the many cultivators in this team of Feiyun Guards, but he has practiced the Yuxuan Sutra, and his magic power is stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Even so, he can only barely keep up with everyone and rush to the end of the team with all his magic power.

"Evil demon, die."

Lu Yunfei, who rushed to the front, quickly arrived at the edge of the altar. He took out a huge three-foot-sized, square seal artifact, shouted, and smashed it at several demon cultivators rushing down from the top of the altar.

"Hmph, thief, stop being so arrogant."

Just as the seal flew over the heads of several demon cultivators, a tall purple-clothed man released a huge mountain-splitting axe, pushed away the seal magic weapon above their heads, and strode forward to fight with Lu Yunfei.

This man was also a demon cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, and his cultivation was almost the same as Lu Yunfei. The two magic weapons collided with each other, and the spiritual light on the magic weapons kept shining. For a moment, it was difficult to tell who was better.

Seeing that the attacker was in front of him, Gu Liangshan had already used a black banner magic weapon. A burst of black smoke quickly emerged from the black banner, and a strange sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling from wronged souls came from the black smoke, which wrapped up several cultivators rushing in front.

This black banner was given to Gu Liangshan by his master Yang Wuqi for self-defense. It was called the Soul Gathering Banner. It was made by Yang Wuqi who collected the souls of hundreds of mortals in his early years and spent several years to refine it. Its magical power far exceeded that of ordinary top-grade magic weapons.

Gu Liangshan's cultivation had already reached the peak of Qi Refining. With the powerful Soul Gathering Banner in his hand, he alone blocked three late Qi Refining cultivators, including the old man Shi Mofeng.

The last remaining cultivator of the Xiaoyao Sect, Wei Tong, who was in the late Qi Refining stage, had no opponents of the same level to stop him. He quickly rushed through the entanglement of several mid-Qi Refining demon cultivators and killed them on the altar.

Looking at the several unconscious cultivators on the altar, Wei Tong released the flying sword in his hand. A clanking sound of chains falling sounded, and he soon untied the iron chains tied to these people.

Wei Tong was about to go forward to check on the situation of several people, but suddenly several more demon cultivators came out from behind the altar, and the leading one also had the cultivation of late Qi Refining.

Seeing this unexpected situation, Wei Tong could only temporarily put down these unconscious cultivators and turned around to prepare to deal with the group of demon cultivators who came.

At the same time, Song Qingming and other mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators who fell behind also rushed to the altar, and the two sides soon got into a melee.

Although there were seven or eight demon cultivators who came to support, except for one demon cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, the rest of them had low cultivation levels, and two of them had only cultivated to the early stage of Qi Refining.

Facing the Feiyun Guards who were obviously stronger than Song Qingming, they soon fell behind and were beaten back by Song Qingming and others. A demon cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining soon died at the hands of Feng Laogui.

The demon cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining who was fighting with Wei Tong, when he saw that the demon cultivators he brought to support were defeated by his opponents, he also knew that Song Qingming and his group were strong and difficult to deal with.

The demon cultivator saw that the situation was not good and it was difficult for him to defeat Wei Tong. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and found an opportunity in the battle. He burst out the demon energy stored in his body, forced Wei Tong back, abandoned his companions, and fled directly to the back of the altar.

Seeing the leading demon cultivator escape, several demon cultivators who were still resisting Song Qingming and others quickly followed his footsteps and chose to flee.

Two unlucky demon cultivators were unfortunately entangled by their opponents and soon died in the hands of everyone.

Seeing this group of demon cultivators fleeing, Wei Tong saw that they had already gained the upper hand in the two battlefields above the altar, and said loudly to the people around him:

"Leave two people to rescue the cultivators trapped on the altar first, and then go to support Senior Brother Lu and the others, and the rest of you follow me to chase these demon cultivators, and never let them escape from here."

Seeing that these demon cultivators were not strong and some were vulnerable, everyone volunteered to chase the escaped demon cultivators. Only Song Qingming and another cultivator with a lower cultivation level did not have a strong desire to make contributions, and chose to stay and help.

Lu Yunfei, who was fighting against the purple-clothed demon cultivator, saw that Wei Tong and his team had already repelled the demon cultivators who came to support him. He was delighted and thought secretly:

"If he can lead this team of Feiyun Guards to successfully wipe out this group of demon cultivators, it will be considered a great achievement for the sect. He will definitely receive a lot of meritorious rewards after returning this time. In addition, he has the support of his master, so he may be able to exchange for the sect's foundation-building pills."

After everyone left, Song Qingming and his team came to the altar. There was a fierce battle just below, but none of the unconscious cultivators on the altar were awakened. The two checked and found that these people had their five senses and consciousness imprisoned by the demon cultivators, and they could no longer hear the outside world.

Fortunately, these demon cultivators only set up ordinary restrictions. Song Qingming was originally a formation master and was very familiar with these restrictions. He quickly broke the restrictions on these people one by one.

After the restrictions were broken, these people were quickly awakened by the sound of the battle below. These people's cultivation was not high. The highest one was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. They all looked relatively immature young cultivators. One of them didn't even know how he was caught here.

After waking up and seeing Song Qingming and the others, they gradually realized that they were controlled by demon cultivators and caught here to prepare for blood sacrifice.

Several people were so scared that they kowtowed on the ground repeatedly, thanking the two for saving their lives.

"My name is Hu Daozhen, and I am the steward of Tianfeng Tower in Guiyunfang. Thank you for saving my life. This place is extremely dangerous. Please take us away from here. When I return to Guiyunfang one day, I will definitely find a way to reward you."

"Fellow Taoists, no need to be polite. Please stand up quickly. This place is indeed not a safe place. Please rest assured. Don't worry. After killing these demon cultivators, you can leave here with us."

Song Qingming and the others looked at these panicked Taoists and quickly spoke to comfort them.

After saving these people and looking at the other two battlefields, the two discussed and decided to join forces to help Shi Mofeng and the other two escape first, and then defeat Gu Liangshan, the strongest among the demon cultivators. Hu Daozhen, who was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, heard their discussion and volunteered to help.

Lu Yunfei and the purple-clothed man had fought for dozens of rounds. Although he could not defeat his opponent for a while, Lu Yunfei had gained some advantages with his sophisticated magic weapon.

Although Shi Mofeng and the other two were in the late stage of Qi Refining, they were a little conservative when fighting against the enemy, and their cooperation was not very good. Facing Gu Liangshan, who had a high level of cultivation and was more experienced in fighting, the three were a little timid at first and were tightly entangled by Gu Liangshan's Soul Gathering Banner.

After a fight, the three slowly stabilized their position. Although Gu Liangshan seemed to have some advantages, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to fight for a long time against three masters of the late stage of Qi Refining alone, so he was a little anxious.

Seeing Song Qingming and the other two coming over from a distance, Gu Liangshan frowned and was already thinking about how to get away.

Song Qingming and the other two had just joined the battlefield on Gu Liangshan's side when a panicked voice suddenly came from the distance behind the altar.

"There is a foundation-building demon cultivator. Everyone, run."
