Chapter 810: Come Prepared and Attack Nanyuefang
On the west side of the Skylark Mountains, in a deep mountain in the southern part of the Yue Kingdom's Xiuxian World.
Because this place is adjacent to the Skylark Mountains with dense mountains and steep ridges, there are many monsters nearby, and there are very few cultivators. Only a small number of low-level foreign cultivators will come here to hunt monsters.
One afternoon, an old man in a black robe suddenly appeared in the forest.
This man is different from other cultivators who came here to hunt monsters. He just walked alone in this dangerous forest, but there was no tension or fear on his face.
Just as the black-robed old man crossed a ridge, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods not far ahead.
Not long after, two "three-eyed wind wolves" that were half a person's height rushed out of the forest and blocked the black-robed old man, with a bit of fierceness in their eyes.
Seeing these two "three-eyed wind wolves" in the late stage of Qi Refining suddenly appearing and blocking his way, the black-robed old man, who seemed to have only the sixth level of Qi Refining, did not show any panic on his face, but instead showed a hint of ridicule towards the other party.
Seeing that the black-robed old man actually did not take them seriously, the two "three-eyed wind wolves" howled in displeasure, and then one of the demon wolves jumped high and quickly pounced on the black-robed old man.
The black-robed old man stood there with a blank expression, and did not choose to run away, nor did he dodge to avoid the attack of the "three-eyed wind wolf".
Just as the "three-eyed wind wolf" that had already pounced in the air was about to approach the black-robed old man with its sharp claws, a purple spiritual light suddenly emanated from him, and soon formed a purple light shield three feet in front of the black-robed old man.
This purple light shield seemed a bit ordinary, but when it was touched by the wolf claws, it suddenly made a loud noise.
Then the huge "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" was thrown out like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, and hit a giant tree not far away, breaking it into two pieces.
Seeing this somewhat shocking scene, the other "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" that had just blocked the back of the black-robed old man was startled and quickly turned around and fled into the woods behind him.
"Hmph! You blind guy, you blocked my way and you still want to run!"
After the black-robed old man laughed, a black gas suddenly emerged from his body, and then turned into a sharp claw and quickly stepped forward to grab the fleeing "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" in mid-air.
After hearing a few miserable wolf howls, the unlucky "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" was engulfed by the black smoke, and soon turned into a thin corpse and fell from mid-air.
"Hehe! Although the blood of these low-level monsters is not very useful, it is better than nothing. It is enough for me to save a few days of practice.
Senior Brother Wu and his men are really timid. They just hide in the cave all the time. They dare not even hunt the low-level monsters nearby, and they need me to help them clean up."
The black-robed old man stood there with a look of satisfaction and muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the location of the other "three-eyed wind wolf" corpse.
"Hey! Who are you?"
Just as the black-robed old man was searching for the corpse of the "three-eyed wind wolf", his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in white standing under a tree not far away, and he stepped back a few steps in surprise.
The man in white looked very young, and his aura was as quiet as the grass and trees in the forest, which made people feel nothing.
Just standing there with a smile and looking at each other quietly, the black-robed old man immediately felt the danger, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart at this moment.
Seeing the old man in black robe staring at him nervously, the smiling man in white stepped forward and said slowly:
"Who I am is not that important to you, I think you don't need to know!
Your cultivation is so low, hiding in this deep mountain is really a waste of talent, why don't you come with me, let's go to another place and show your skills again?"
Faced with the invitation of the man in white, the old man in black robe with a nervous face shook his head at the other party without thinking much and said:
"Daoyou are joking, my cultivation is low, I am afraid I don't have the skills you said, Daoyou should find someone else to help!"
"Thank you for your kindness, I will take my leave now!"
After the old man in black robe finished speaking, he didn't want to care about the body of the "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" on the ground anymore, and turned and left directly.
But before he walked far, a white light suddenly flashed not far in front of him, and then the figure of the man in white appeared in front of him again.
"Haha! Whether it works or not is not up to you, you'd better follow me obediently!"
After the man in white finished speaking, a white folding fan suddenly appeared in his hand, and then rolled up several spiritual lights and flew towards the old man in black robe.
"This is a magic weapon. You are a Jindan cultivator!"
Seeing the white folding fan magic weapon in the hand of the man in white, the old man in black robe was shocked. Without the courage to resist, he quickly turned around and fled desperately into the woods behind him, just like the "three-eyed wind wolf" he had just chased.
Like the fate of the "three-eyed wind wolf", in the face of absolute strength, the old man in black robe also had no chance to escape.
After half a minute, a white escape light flew into the air and landed on a large flying boat hidden in the clouds.
"Take it down and search its soul first, just don't kill it!"
He threw the black-robed old man who had already fainted on the flying boat, and soon two Qi Refining disciples took the initiative to come forward and carried the motionless black-robed old man on the ground to the cabin nearby.
"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Fang!"
As soon as the white-clothed man finished speaking, he heard another voice from the side, and quickly turned around and bowed slightly to the two people who were walking over!
"It's just serving the sect, why bother? Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Song are polite!"
Li Wutong nodded slightly and said, "According to the information obtained from the previous soul search, the Jindan demon who controls them is not nearby. This guy should be the last one to slip through the net.
Junior Brother Song and I just went to ask for instructions from Senior Uncle Li and Senior Uncle Bai. We can almost start the action."
Hearing what Li Wutong said, Fang Baixuan hurriedly responded, "Oh! Then follow the instructions of the two senior brothers. It will save time if we start early. The people of Jiuyuan Sect will notice the clues."
After the three of them agreed, an order was quickly passed down, and the large flying boat surrounded by clouds and mist immediately set off to fly southwest.
Half an hour later, the flying boat finally crossed the mountains in the west and entered a flat land. Soon, it came to a market with a high mountain back.
Song Qingming, standing on the flying boat, looked at the market not far below, and his face showed a bit of excitement.
It won't be long before this market town, which has been ruled by the Jiuyuan Sect for hundreds of years, will belong to the Xiaoyao Sect of Wei State.
The market town called "Nanyuefang" below the flying boat is not as large as the "Guiyunfang" in the north of Wei State, but it is much larger than the "White Lionfang" controlled by the Song family. It is the largest market town in the southern part of Yue State.
Not only that, there is also a "spiritual stone vein" being mined next to "Nanyuefang", and the output is more than double that of the "Shuangfengshan" vein found by the Song family.
This "spiritual stone vein" plus the "Nanyuefang" not far from Taiyue Lake can provide "Jiuyuan Sect" with tens of thousands of spiritual stones every year. It is one of the extremely important industries of the entire "Jiuyuan Sect".
The purpose of Song Qingming and others coming here is to take this industry away from the "Jiuyuan Sect".
Just as the people of "Xiaoyao Sect" on the flying boat were already eyeing the situation below, "Nanyuefang" was completely unaware of this. There was still an endless stream of cultivators coming and going at the entrance of the market, and no one felt the hidden dangers around.
The dozen or so law enforcement team cultivators guarding the entrance of the market were checking the identities of the cultivators entering and leaving one by one, and collecting the spirit stones they had to submit to enter the market.
"Stand up straight, you guys, do you need someone to teach you to line up? Who told you to cut in line? If you don't want to go in, get out!"
A cultivator with only the sixth stage of Qi Refining saw that the team behind was a little messy, so he shouted loudly, and then walked forward to maintain order.
When he came to the back of the team, he was about to pull out a cultivator who cut in line halfway, when a sharp flying sword suddenly pierced into his back, and then emerged from his chest.
"Ah! What do you want to do?"
The sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator only had time to turn around and look behind him before he quickly fell down. Blood immediately gushed out of his body, dyeing the nearby ground blood red.
"Murder! Someone killed someone."
"..."
This sudden scene also frightened several cultivators who were queuing nearby. Soon, the scene was filled with shouts and chaos.
"No one is allowed to move. Who dares to mess up my Nanyuefang!"
Just as the scene was in chaos, the voice of a foundation-building cultivator suddenly stopped everyone, and then more than a dozen cultivators from the market law enforcement team quickly walked over from the door under the leadership of a middle-aged man.
After seeing the corpse of the cultivator lying on the ground, the faces of the law enforcement team members immediately showed some anger.
But before they could figure out what happened, several flashes of light suddenly flashed in the crowd, and more than a dozen cultivators hiding in the crowd had already rushed directly to the weakly guarded market gate.
"Not good! Someone is trying to destroy the formation, stop them!"
Seeing someone trying to force their way into the market while they were away, the foundation-building cultivator reacted immediately and ordered the cultivators who were still guarding the door to guard the eye of the formation at the market gate.
At the same time, he also hurriedly led the cultivators around him to quickly return to help, trying to stop the strange cultivators who suddenly rushed out at the door.
"Nanyuefang" is the most important market in the southern part of Yue State. The "Jiuyuan Sect" also attaches great importance to the protection of this place. Not only a foundation-building cultivator was arranged at the door, but also a second-level low-grade puppet beast to assist in defense.
The law enforcement team cultivator reminded loudly, and several Qi-refining cultivators who were still guarding the door immediately controlled a second-level low-grade rhinoceros puppet beast to block the front of the formation.
However, although his order was timely, the force guarding the door at this time was still too weak compared to the cultivators who came to attack the formation eye.
Among the dozen people who came to attack the market, there were four or five people with foundation building cultivation or above. They did not take a second-level low-grade puppet seriously.
Soon, with a loud bang, the formation guarding the entrance of the market disappeared in front of everyone.
After breaking the formation, those people did not get too entangled with the law enforcement team at the entrance, and quickly rushed into the market and merged into the crowd coming and going on the streets of the market.
"Oops! These people are demonic cultivators. Quickly activate the mountain protection formation to seal off Fang City and send a message to Uncle Liu. We must find these demonic cultivators."
After the demonic cultivators who attacked them rushed into Fangshi, the foundation-building monks in the law enforcement team immediately turned pale and ordered the surrounding monks to activate the "Mountain Protection Formation" to block the entrance to Fangshi.
Then he took out a transmission note and urgently informed a Jindan elder of the "Nine Yuan Sect" who was retreating in the back mountain about what had just happened at the door.
"Everyone, hurry up and chase, those demonic cultivators are hiding in the market ahead.
The elders have an order, they must not be let go, and their dead comrades must be avenged! "
Just as the monks of the "Nanyuefang" law enforcement team were moving quickly, they suddenly saw hundreds of strange-looking monks appearing in the distance. They shouted and quickly chased them towards Fangshi.
Seeing this strange scene, the foundation-building monk who was guarding the gate of Fangshi immediately led his people to stop the many "Xiaoyao Sect" monks who were chasing him.
"This place is the territory of our Jiuyuan Sect. What are you Xiaoyao Sect people doing here?"
"What are you doing? Of course we are here to encircle and suppress the demon cultivators."
"A few days ago, this group of demon cultivators raided Cuihu Daofang City and killed more than a dozen disciples of our sect and hundreds of mortals. This sect has been tracking them for more than half a month. Only today did we find out that they have been hiding here.
When you stop here, are you trying to protect these demons from cultivating themselves? "
Facing the question from the "Jiuyuan Sect" monk, an older "Xiaoyao Sect" foundation-building monk immediately stepped forward and asked the other person a question.
Hearing the other party talking about demonic cultivators, the Jiuyuan Sect's foundation-building monk's expression suddenly changed, he shook his head and said: "What demonic cultivators? I don't understand what you fellow Taoists mean.
This place is Xiafang City under the rule of our sect. How could a demonic cultivator appear? Are you looking for the wrong place? "
"Hmph! So many pairs of eyes saw them entering the city, how dare you open your eyes and tell lies in broad daylight.
Since you are so stubborn, let us all see if there are any magic cultivators here. "
After the "Xiaoyao Sect" monk angrily reprimanded the other party, a magical alms bowl appeared in his hand with a flash of inspiration, and then he directly cast a spell to illuminate the surroundings, and soon collected a wisp of demonic energy that had not disappeared at the gate of Fangshi.
Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid the Jiuyuan Sect's foundation-building monk was, he knew that the other party was well prepared this time. With his eyes hinting to the monks next to him to report the news, he bit the bullet and replied:
"Just the wisp of demonic energy at the door doesn't prove that there are really demonic cultivators hidden in Fang City. I think all fellow Taoists might as well wait here while I go and check it out.
If there are really demonic cultivators, we will definitely find them out and hand them over to you, which can be regarded as giving you an explanation. "
After hearing the explanation from the monks of the "Nine Yuan Sect", the old man who built the foundation of the "Xiaoyao Sect" suddenly looked unhappy and said:
"Haha! You really have a good plan. When you slowly find them out, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find the shadow of the demon cultivator.
These demonic cultivators have killed so many of our fellow disciples and have a blood feud with our sect. If you are so obstructive, you are not really colluding with these demonic cultivators and deliberately instigating them. "
Seeing that the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" tied themselves up with the demon cultivator with just a few words, the monk from the "Jiuyuan Sect" suddenly said angrily:
"Which of your eyes has seen us colluding with the demon cultivators? I think your pursuit of the demon cultivators is fake and you came here deliberately to cause trouble!"
"Since you insist on covering up for these demon cultivators, don't blame us for being rude. Come on, everyone, and tear down their bird's nest."
".!"
When the two sides disagreed, they immediately started fighting.
After a while, the two monks were fighting at the door.
Seeing that the opponent had a large number of people, the "Nine Yuan Sect" monks immediately fled into the city after leaving a few corpses behind, and began to use the mountain protection formation to resist the opponent's attack.
As soon as they started to move, they immediately alerted the Jindan elder of the "Nine Yuan Sect" who was in retreat on the mountain. As a white light flashed, an old man in yellow with some gray hair appeared above the city wall. .
Seeing the old man in yellow coming, the many "Nine Yuan Sect" monks who were guarding Fang City suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who are you that dare to attack my Nanyue Fang?"
After stepping forward to cast a spell to repel several "Xiaoyao Sect" foundation-building monks who were attacking Fangshi, the old man in yellow immediately opened his mouth to question the people below.
However, before he could figure out the ins and outs of the matter, he suddenly felt a danger coming from mid-air, which frightened him so much that he instinctively retreated, trying to escape back into the mountain-protecting formation behind him.
As soon as the old man in yellow made a move, a sword light hidden in mid-air appeared in front of his eyes, quickly running straight behind him with a very fierce momentum.
Seeing that the other party was coming too fast, the old man in yellow gritted his teeth and threw out the strongest talisman on his body.
The talisman changed in mid-air, and instantly turned into a shield blocking him.
The old man in yellow is named Liu Jinhe.
Although this person is an elder of the "Nine Yuan Sect", he is not actually a real golden elixir monk, but a fake elixir monk who succeeded in forming elixirs through external elixirs.
Because of the restrictions of the fake elixir monks, Liu Jinhe, who had been forming elixirs for more than two hundred years, was only at the second level of the golden elixir, and his fighting skills were not as good as those who had just formed elixirs not long ago.
It was precisely because Liu Jinhe was not strong that he was assigned by the sect to guard the "Nanyuefang" all year round, and he rarely got in touch with the core events of the sect.
Even though he had been in the Dan stage for many years, Liu Jinhe's strongest defense was just a third-level low-grade defense talisman. Facing Song Qingyu's long-prepared sword, it was simply vulnerable.
The shield transformed by the talisman only slightly resisted Song Qingyu for a moment before it was cut in half by the "Xuanming Jinguang Sword".
"Ah!..."
Then, accompanied by a scream, one of Liu Jinhe's arms was also cut off by Song Qingyu's fierce sword, and flew into the air with spurting blood.
Fortunately, the talisman just now gave Liu Jinhe some reaction time, allowing him to dodge the fatal blow.
After paying the price of an arm, Liu Jinhe successfully escaped back to the "Mountain Protection Array" in the market.
Seeing that the other party still escaped, Song Qingyu sighed slightly. Before she could react, several more rays of light fell beside her. They were Li Wutong and others who arrived from the flying boat a step later.
"Attack the formation with all your strength and try to break the formation before their reinforcements arrive!"
With Li Wutong's order in the air, many "Xiaoyao Sect" monks immediately began to cast spells to attack the "Nanyuefang" mountain protection formation, and the sky above the whole market was suddenly filled with fierce roars.
Liu Jinhe, who had just saved his life, fled back to the mountain protection formation and immediately ordered many monks on the side:
"Quick! Send a message to the sect, saying that someone is attacking the market, and ask them to send people to support quickly, quickly!"
In addition to Liu Jinhe, the fake Dan monk, there were only eight "Jiuyuan Sect" foundation-building monks and hundreds of Qi-refining disciples stationed in "Nanyuefang".
Even if we add those casual cultivators in the market and the cultivators from the surrounding families, there are less than 20 foundation-building cultivators.
And the cultivators from the "Xiaoyao Sect" who came to attack the market from outside include more than 100 cultivators who have established their foundation and nearly 1,000 carefully selected Qi-refining disciples.
In addition, there are six Jindan cultivators with high cultivation, Song Qingyu, Song Qingming, Li Wutong, Fang Baixuan, Shen Tongzhou, and Yun Nishang, who participated in the attack on the formation.
In the face of such a huge disparity in power, even if there is a third-level middle-grade mountain protection formation in "Nanyuefang", it is difficult to withstand the repeated siege of the cultivators outside.
In just less than a quarter of an hour, the power of the mountain protection formation has been weakened a lot, and it is already in danger and difficult to hold on for a long time.
Seeing that the power of the "market formation" in front of him has been weakened a lot, Li Wutong, who was attacking the formation, immediately threw a golden ball into the formation in front of him.
"Not good! It's a level 3 Breaking Formation Bead, everyone run!"
Seeing the "Breaking Formation Bead" thrown out by Li Wutong, Liu Jinhe, who was commanding the monks to defend the city, also knew that he could not wait for the sect's reinforcements to arrive.
Seeing this, Liu Jinhe decisively left behind many low-level monks beside him and headed straight for the teleportation array in the middle of the market.
This teleportation array is a teleportation array in "Nanyuefang" that is directly connected to the Jiuyuan Sect's mountain gate not far away. As long as the teleportation array is successfully activated, Liu Jinhe can quickly escape from here.
Facing the six highly skilled Jindan monks outside, Liu Jinhe would have no chance of survival if he chose to escape from the market.
If he wanted to survive, this was his only way out!
Just as Liu Jinhe entered the teleportation platform and was about to activate the only teleportation array in this market to escape, a sword light suddenly flew into the sky above his head.
It was Song Qingyu, who had just fought with Liu Jinhe, who chased him directly to the teleportation array where he was.
(I suddenly remembered that tomorrow is my birthday. I have aged another year without knowing it. I have been writing this book for a full year and a half!
Song Laozu has now broken through the ninth level of the Golden Core, and is not far from condensing the Nascent Soul. Please believe me, Xiao Meng will work hard to update so that he can succeed in condensing the Nascent Soul as soon as possible.) (End of this chapter)
