Chapter 844: The Golden Horned Demon King Defeats the Demon Beast Army
"Zhen Yang Sect" is a Jindan Sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. There are still five or six Jindan monks in the sect, and nearly 10,000 disciples.
Although its strength in the Fuyun Mountain Range's immortal cultivation world is not as strong as the top Yuanying Sect such as "Xiaoyao Sect", it is definitely not comparable to ordinary Jindan forces.
Hearing the shocking news brought by Shen Tongzhou, Li Wutong and others on the side all showed a look of shock on their faces.
The people of "Xiaoyao Sect" really found it hard to believe that the "Zhen Yang Sect" that has been passed down for thousands of years in Pei State was actually breached by the demon clan so quickly.
"There is a three-level top-grade mountain protection formation on Zhenyang Mountain. You and I also know the strength of Wei Xuanping and his men. How could the Zhenyang Sect lose Lingshan so quickly?
Junior Brother Shen, have you confirmed it clearly?"
Seeing that everyone still didn't believe what he said, Shen Tongzhou immediately explained seriously:
"When I rushed to the vicinity of Zhenyang Mountain yesterday, I saw that there were monsters all around and it was difficult to approach, so I found a place to hide and sent a message to the great elder Wei Xuanping first, hoping that they would pick me up.
I didn't expect that after I sent the message, I didn't get a response from the Zhenyang Sect.
It was late at night and they still hadn't replied, so I took advantage of the monsters' laxity and quietly went to the side of Zhenyang Mountain.
I then discovered that the mountain was full of monsters, and the mountain protection formation had already been breached by the monster army.
"The Zhenyang Mountain protection formation was breached so quickly, it seems that my worries were correct, it must be the Monster King who made a move!"
Hearing a worried voice not far away, the people of "Xiaoyao Sect" turned around and found that the sect's supreme elder Bai Yuxian, who had been staying in the cabin of the flying boat, had flashed to the side.
"Greetings, Uncle Bai!"
After everyone turned around and bowed to him, Li Wutong immediately asked:
"Uncle Bai, now Zhenyang Mountain has been breached by the army of monsters, should we go there now?"
After hearing Li Wutong's question, Bai Yuxian thought for a moment, but did not answer him immediately. Instead, he turned to Shen Tongzhou and asked:
"Nephew Shen, is there a teleportation array on Zhenyang Mountain? Do you know where it leads to?"
"Reporting to Uncle Bai, there is indeed a magic array on Zhenyang Mountain, which leads to Duanyangfang in the north.
If Wei Daoyou and the others escape, they should go here. I will go to Duanyangfang immediately to see if I can find them!"
Hearing Bai Yuxian's question, Shen Tongzhou immediately remembered that there was a teleportation array on Zhenyang Mountain that few outsiders knew about, and quickly told everyone.
Like many large sects in the world of immortal cultivation, the "Zhenyang Sect" also built a teleportation array on the mountain that can instantly lead to other places.
However, this formation was not made public by the "Zhen Yang Sect". Apart from the disciples of the sect, only a few cultivators who had a good relationship with them knew about it.
After Shen Tongzhou had formed the elixir, he returned to Peiguo to visit a friend of the "Zhen Yang Sect". It was during a casual chat with this friend that he accidentally learned about this matter.
After knowing that the cultivators of the "Zhen Yang Sect" might have fled to "Duan Yang Fang" thousands of miles away, Shen Tongzhou immediately offered to go to "Duan Yang Fang" to investigate the news.
But before he could leave, Bai Yuxian waved his hand and stopped him.
"Now there are monsters everywhere outside, and there are many high-level monster kings among them.
You just came back, and your magic power has not yet recovered. If you encounter a powerful monster king, it may be dangerous.
You should rest first. Let nephew Zhang go for this matter!"
Seeing that the sect ancestor Bai Yuxian called his name, Zhang Tieyang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Bai is right, don't worry, brother Shen.
I have been to Peiguo once when I was traveling in my early years, and I know the location of Duanyangfang.
Please rest assured, uncle, I will set off immediately, and send a message back as soon as I get there smoothly."
After Zhang Tieyang finished speaking, he bowed slightly to everyone, and then turned into a beam of light and left the flying boat to the northwest.
After arranging Zhang Tieyang to go to "Duanyangfang" first to inquire about the news, Bai Yuxian immediately commanded everyone to control the flying boat to turn north and slowly move away from "Zhenyang Mountain".
Not long after Zhang Tieyang left, the people of the "Xiaoyao Sect" on the flying boat saw a noisy sound coming from behind, and a group of bird monsters chased up and surrounded the flying boat.
Seeing this, everyone rushed to take action and quickly drove these low-level monsters away from the flying boat, and then stepped up the speed of the flying boat to retreat northward.
About half a day later, the people of the "Xiaoyao Sect" who had been waiting for a long time on the flying boat finally received the sound transmission talisman sent back by Zhang Tieyang.
The situation was similar to what Bai Yuxian guessed at the time. After "Zhenyang Mountain" was breached by the monster army, some "Zhenyang Sect" monks still escaped from the mountain.
Most of these people have now gathered in "Duanyangfang".
After learning this news, Song Qingming and others looked a little better, and hurriedly urged the flying boat to rush north, quickly rushing to "Duanyangfang" in the northwest of Pei State.
Along the way, the monsters kept chasing and harassing the flying boat, which also made Song Qingming and others feel that after the monsters broke through the "Zhenyang Mountain" with all their strength, they seemed to have begun to move northward.
Although they knew that many cultivators from the "Zhenyang Sect" had escaped, when Song Qingming and others arrived at the "Duanyang Square", they couldn't help frowning when they saw the tragic scene in front of them.
Just as everyone in the "Xiaoyao Sect" thought, among the army of monsters besieging Pei State this time, a Nascent Soul monster that had never appeared before really appeared - the "Golden Horned Demon Emperor".
This "Golden Horned Demon King" was also a demon beast in Taiyue Lake before. During the demon beast turmoil hundreds of years ago, he and other demon kings led an army of demons in the water to attack the territory of Pei Kingdom.
However, when they encountered a powerful opponent like the "True Yang Sect", the demon army led by the "Golden Horned Demon Emperor" did not take any advantage and retreated to "Taiyue Lake".
Since then, the demon king at the peak of the golden elixir has disappeared for hundreds of years, never appearing in front of the Pei Kingdom monks again, and he has not even appeared in the monster turmoil that occurs once in a century.
Unexpectedly, after practicing in seclusion for hundreds of years, the "Golden Horned Demon Emperor" actually broke through to the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop and became the third Nascent Soul Demon Emperor in "Taiyue Lake".
On that day during the battle at Zhenyang Mountain, due to the sudden appearance of the Nascent Soul powerhouse "Golden Horned Demon King", the battlefield was suddenly unbalanced. It can be said that the entire "Zhenyang Sect" suffered a miserably defeat at the hands of the monsters.
After the war, the "Zhenyang Sect" monks not only lost Zhenyang Mountain, the sect's spiritual place, but their disciples also suffered 60 to 70% casualties in the battle.
Even Wei Xuanping, the most powerful elder in the sect, was unable to escape because he was targeted by the "Golden-Horned Demon Emperor" and unfortunately died in this battle.
Fortunately, except for the great elder Wei Xuanping, the other four Jindan elders of the "True Yang Sect" still escaped through the sect's teleportation array in time and did not all die in the battle.
However, two of them risked their lives to resist the Demon King's siege in order to cover the evacuation of their disciples. After the battle, they were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
Although the current "Zhenyang Sect" was not completely wiped out, some of its disciples managed to escape from the Zhenyang Mountain surrounded by monsters.
But the entire sect has suffered heavy losses, and most of the remaining monks are injured, with almost no strength left.
After hearing the news, everyone in the "Xiaoyao Sect" originally thought that after joining the "True Yang Sect" monks, they would go south to counterattack the demon army and recapture "True Yang Mountain".
Seeing that the monks of the "Zhenyang Sect" were in such a miserable state and had no fighting power at all, everyone gave up their thoughts of counterattack and could only shrink their strength and prepare to defend the largest city "Duanyangfang" in the north of Pei State with all their strength.
Now that the monster army has occupied "Zhenyang Mountain", almost the entire southern part of Pei Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the monster clan.
If the northern defense line of "Duanyangfang" is conquered by the monster army again, then the human monks will no longer have any place to stay in Pei Kingdom.
Once the entire Pei Kingdom falls into the hands of the demon clan, high-level monks like them will still have a way to escape at any time.
It is difficult for the low-level monks below and the hundreds of millions of ordinary mortals living in Pei State to escape the fate of falling into the mouths of monsters and becoming food.
Moreover, Pei State is the southern gateway of the "Xiaoyao Sect". If this place is lost, if nothing unexpected happens, the demon army will most likely go directly north to attack the Weiguo territory.
Even if it is not for the righteousness of the human race, the "Xiaoyao Sect" must find ways to block the demon army here as much as possible.
Otherwise, once the war burns north to the territory of Weiguo, the "Xiaoyao Sect" will definitely suffer great losses, and the entire southern Weiguo will be in crisis in the future.
As the largest city in the north of Pei State, "Duanyangfang" is also a third-level high-grade spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy in the city is still slightly inferior to "Zhenyang Mountain", the spiritual land of Zhenyang Sect that has been operated for many years. Some.
The mountain-protecting formation of "Duanyangfang" is only at the third-level mid-level, and its defensive capabilities are far inferior to that of "Zhenyang Mountain".
After discussing the defense plan with the "Zhenyang Sect" monks, the monks from both sides immediately began to increase the city's defense strength, preparing to deal with the demon army heading north at any time.
After "Zhenyang Sect" was trapped in the sect, although Wei Xuanping did not expect that the mountain gate would be breached, he still made some preparations in advance and transported a large amount of materials from the sect to "Duanyangfang" through the teleportation array in advance .
Using the high-level materials stored in Fangshi by the "Zhenyang Sect" and the help of two high-level formation masters, Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming, the human monks seized the time to strengthen the Fangshi formation and soon destroyed the "Duanyangfang" The mountain protection formation has been upgraded to the third level of high quality.
In addition, the "Xiaoyao Sect" also sent letters to several small countries close to Pei State, informing them of the changes in Pei State and asking them to lead the monks to come to "Duanyangfang" for support.
The territories of these small countries are also near Pei State. Once Pei State is occupied by the demon army, they will suffer disaster sooner or later. Everyone understands the truth of death.
After learning that "Zhenyang Mountain" had been conquered by the demon army, they immediately stepped up the deployment of an army of monks to support them.
Within a few days, two more large flying boats arrived at "Duanyangfang", bringing two golden elixirs and thousands of low-level monks in the foundation building and Qi refining stages to the human monks.
As the defensive strength in the city gradually increased, everyone gradually felt a sense of peace in their hearts.
It's just that the demon clan obviously doesn't want to give them too much time to prepare.
Less than ten days had passed since the "Zhen Yang Mountain" was breached. The "Golden Horned Demon Emperor" immediately urged the army of demon beasts to march northward, and soon reached the vicinity of "Duanyangfang".
After arriving here, the demon army was quickly blocked by the human monks and was blocked near "Duanyangfang".
This time, although the demon army still outnumbered the human cultivators by more than two times, the human cultivators also had Nascent Soul cultivators.
The number of Jindan cultivators such as Song Qingming was equal to that of the Jindan demon king leading the demon clan, and the human cultivators were not much worse than the other side in terms of high-level combat power.
After the battle, although both sides suffered considerable losses, the demon clan did not gain much advantage in the battle, and was still repelled by the human cultivators assisted by the "Fangshi formation".
However, for nearly half a month afterwards, the demon army relied on its large number to continuously besiege "Duanyangfang", which still made the human cultivators feel great pressure.

In order to defend "Duanyangfang", the human cultivators almost tried every possible way, and even the high-level "Flying Cloud Crossbows" on several large flying boats were all dismantled by them and installed on the walls of Fangshi to help fight the enemy.
Relying on the many spiritual objects accumulated by the "Zhenyang Sect" in the market, although the "Mountain Protection Array" of the market was in danger after being attacked by the demon army several times,
but the human cultivators with the big array behind them still tried their best to stop the demon army and barely defended the "Duanyang Square", failing to let the demon army move north.
The people below were fighting fiercely, and the two Yuanying cultivators above looked at the battlefield below but did not fight much.
"Golden Horned Demon King" and Bai Yuxian were both cultivators who had just broken through the Yuanying realm not long ago. The difference in their cultivation was not big, and their fighting skills were also evenly matched.
After several consecutive battles, both knew that they did not have the ability to take down the other party directly, so they agreed not to fight each other.
Whether it was the human race or the demon race, after reaching the Yuanying stage, each of them had already stood at the top of the cultivation world.
After reaching this level of cultivation, many things were not worth mentioning to them. If there was no life-and-death hatred, both sides would never easily sacrifice their lives to fight.
In the following battles, Bai Yuxian and the "Golden Horned Demon King" stood in the sky and faced each other quietly until the battle below ended.
After several battles, the cultivators above the Jindan stage on both sides were fine. Although they were injured, there was no direct fall of combat power for a while.
However, the cultivators in the foundation building and Qi refining stages below suffered heavy losses.
On the "Xiaoyao Sect" side, the more than 3,000 cultivators originally brought, and the thousands of reinforcements sent later, have now suffered nearly half of the casualties after several battles.
The cultivators of the "Zhenyang Sect" and several other sects who came to Peiguo for reinforcement also suffered heavy losses.
In addition to the shortage of cultivators, the more serious thing is that the "mountain protection formation" of the market has been fully activated to resist the enemy these days, and the many "Flying Cloud Crossbows" on the city wall have been used for a long time.
There are not many spiritual stones left in the "Duanyangfang", and the elixirs, talismans and other spiritual objects that many low-level cultivators need to consume in the battle are also greatly consumed.
All kinds of strategic materials needed in the market began to be in urgent need.
Compared with the increasing pressure on the human side to defend, the overall number of low-level monsters on the demon side exceeded that of the human cultivators, and the consumption of the battle was far less than that of the human cultivators.
As the battle progressed, the demon side's advantage became more and more obvious.
This also made the human cultivator coalition in "Duanyangfang" feel great pressure for a while, wondering if they could still defend this market!
Just when the human cultivator army in the market was a little difficult to support, a relatively strong reinforcement came from the rear again, and brought a lot of supplies.
This finally gave the human cultivators who were holding on to "Duanyangfang" a glimmer of hope for victory.
This reinforcement was from the "Xuanyue Sect" cultivators from Youyun Country.
Youyun Country, where the "Xuanyue Sect" was located, was not directly connected to the territory of Pei Country. There was a small country in between, so they received the conscription order issued by the "Xiaoyao Sect" late, and the collection of supplies was also much slower.
"Xuan Yue Zong" is similar to "Bai Hua Gong". Because the sect's inherited skills are mainly for female practitioners, most of the disciples recruited in the sect are female cultivators.
Of the two thousand cultivators sent to support this time, more than half are female disciples.
However, we should not underestimate this sect just because these female cultivators of "Xuan Yue Zong" look delicate.
There are still four Jindan cultivators in "Xuan Yue Zong". Although the overall strength of the sect is not as good as that of "Zhen Yang Zong" in its heyday, the sect's inheritance is even older than that of "Zhen Yang Zong".
It is also a strong Jindan sect on the east bank of "Taiyue Lake".
Not long after the reinforcements of "Xuan Yue Zong" arrived, Zhao Mengling, the Jindan elder of "Xiaoyao Zong" in the rear, helped to transport a batch of supplies to the front battlefield.
After the reinforcements arrived, the strength of their high-level cultivators suddenly surpassed that of the demon clan.
As the leader of the human coalition, Bai Yuxian planned to fight a counterattack, hoping to take this opportunity to repel the demon army in front of him and relieve the great pressure outside "Duanyangfang".
In order to win this war, Bai Yuxian brought a third-level top-grade "Tiangang Formation" to the front line and gave it to Song Qingming, Zhao Mengling and two Jindan elders of Xuanyue Sect to drive.
On the second day of the battle, Song Qingming and Zhang Tieyang first cooperated quietly to lure the enemy deep into the battlefield, and led the three demon king opponents of the same level to a corner of the battlefield.
Then, Zhao Mengling and the other two, who were hiding in the dark, used the "Tiangang Formation" to instantly trap the opponent in the formation, and finally killed two great Jindan late-stage demon kings together, finally helping the human cultivators to break the deadlock on the battlefield.
Although in the end, due to the desperate rescue of other demon kings and low-level demon beasts below, one demon king escaped and failed to completely annihilate the opponent.
But the demon clan suddenly lost two great Jindan late-stage demon kings, and the human clan had three more Jindan masters such as Zhao Mengling, and the Jindan combat power of both sides on the battlefield suddenly lost balance.
Seeing that the human Jindan cultivators below were gradually gaining the upper hand and forcing the demon clan to retreat again and again, the "Golden Horned Demon King" knew that the situation on the battlefield was unfavorable, and hurriedly sent a message to inform the demon army below to temporarily retreat.
Seeing that the enemy was finally repelled, the morale of the human cultivators was immediately boosted, and they swept away the frustration of being besieged by the demon army for many days, and directly chased for more than ten miles, and only heard the order to return to "Duanyangfang".
Although the demon clan won the battle, the overall strength of the human cultivators was not much higher than that of the demon clan. It was only because the high-end combat power of the Jindan cultivators temporarily overwhelmed the opponent that they won the victory.
In addition, the market formation of "Duanyangfang" also played a great role in the battle.
If it were not for this third-level top-grade "mountain protection formation" to help resist the opponent's large number of attacks, it would definitely be impossible for the human cultivators to easily repel the demon army.
If the two sides were to fight in the wild, the number of human cultivators would be far less than that of the opponent, and they would still not have any advantage.
Therefore, everyone knew it well and did not dare to chase too far.
However, although the results of this battle were not too high, it finally repelled the demon army's siege of "Duanyangfang" for several days, giving the human cultivators a chance to breathe.
In the following time, in order to prevent the demon army from counterattacking again, the human cultivators of "Duanyangfang" immediately began to repair the formation and continue to strengthen the defense force in the market.
What everyone didn't expect was that after the defeat in the last battle, the "Golden Horned Demon King" knew that it could not break through "Duan Yang Fang" in a short time, so it did not choose to stay and continue to confront the human cultivators.
Less than a month later, the main force of the demon army near "Duan Yang Fang" withdrew directly to the south, leaving only a small number of low-level demons to monitor the movements of the human cultivators.
The human cultivators thought that the retreat of the demon army was just a trick to confuse the enemy, and did not relax their vigilance.
It was not until several months later that they saw that the main force of the demon army had not appeared and had really withdrawn to "Zhen Yang Mountain" on their own initiative. Then everyone gradually put down their worries and began to withdraw to the rear in an orderly manner.
In this battle, although the human cultivator coalition failed to completely drive the demon army out of Pei State, it at least helped "Zhen Yang Sect" defend nearly half of the territory in the north of Pei State and prevented the demons from continuing to expand.
However, the "Zhenyang Sect" lost most of the territory of Pei State, and lost more than half of the sect disciples. Even if they can defend the remaining northern territory, it will be difficult to recover their original strength.
Going south to participate in several wars in succession, it delayed a lot of time for cultivation. Seeing that Pei State gradually stabilized, Song Qingming took the initiative to find Bai Yuxian, wanting to return to Wei State to continue to practice in seclusion.
Knowing that Song Qingming was anxious to go back to practice because he wanted to break through the Yuanying realm as soon as possible, Bai Yuxian did not stop him and immediately nodded in agreement.
After half a year of joint efforts by everyone, "Duanyangfang" has arranged another high-level magic array, installed a lot of high-level city defense equipment, and the overall defense force has been strengthened a lot.
As long as she, a Yuanying cultivator, is in charge, even if the demon army goes north again, it will be impossible to break through the market in a short time.
Just as Song Qingming was rushing back to his family, another escape light flew from the outside of the Song family's "Funiu Mountain" and landed outside the "Mountain Protection Array".
