Chapter 115: Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon

After the Huoyun Mountain cultivators rushed into the market, they soon drove the beasts completely out of the Jin Shan Market and retook this market that had been lost for nearly half a month. After most of the cultivators entered the Jin Shan Market, the forty-plus leading Foundation Establishment cultivators above began to issue orders, organizing the Qi Refining cultivators who were running around in the market, and letting everyone go to the central square of the market to gather.

The local cultivators of Pingyang County, led by Cao Wanjiang, quickly dispatched a portion of Qi Refining cultivators to maintain the chaotic order in the market and collect the various spiritual objects that originally belonged to them in the Jin Shan Market.

Those who rushed into the Jin Shan Market the earliest were all relatively strong cultivators. These people had already searched the market and obtained some spiritual objects. Cao Wanjiang and the others tacitly agreed to this and did not care.

After all, these people's cultivation is not low, and most of them are elite cultivators brought by various parties, and they are also meritorious people who helped them retake the Jin Shan Market. If they make things too ugly and offend the cultivators from several counties around, it will not be so easy to ask others to come for support from thousands of miles away next time.

The dozen or so Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators who followed Lu Boyang did not look down on the low-tier spiritual objects in the market and were discussing how to repair the mountain-protecting great formation in the Jin Shan Market.

Although they repelled the white lion beast king this time, the beast unrest is far from over. The Jin Shan Market will definitely encounter beast attacks again. If they want to quickly restore this defensive line, they must quickly repair the mountain-protecting great formation in the market.

After turning around in the Jin Shan Market, Song Qingming discovered that he had entered too late. Now the market is already the territory of Pingyang County cultivators everywhere. After receiving the order passed down by Cao Wanjiang, these local cultivators soon united and strictly forbade these outside cultivators from searching for spiritual objects in the ruins of the original Jin Shan Market shops.

Seeing the gathering order issued by the Huang family in the sky, and seeing that there was no chance to pick up leaks, Song Qingming simply returned to the place he had agreed with everyone when they dispersed just now.

Soon, other Song family cultivators also returned to the convergence point. As expected, no one had any gains. Only the ninth uncle Song Changxin found a mid-grade magic treasure of little value. Song Qingming could only smile with everyone and go directly to the center of the market to gather.

The cultivator responsible for checking the Jin Shan Market's mountain-protecting great formation is the Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator Huo Chen. This person is a second-tier mid-grade formation master and also the one with the highest formation level among the cultivators present. After Huo Chen looked around the market, he returned to the square, still with a trace of worry on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Huo, how does it look? Is the original great formation severely damaged? Can it be repaired?" Seeing that Huo Chen's face was not right, Cao Wanjiang asked with some worry.

Huo Chen shook his head and said: "It is indeed somewhat serious. The patterns of the core formation eyes of this great formation have been damaged over a dozen times. It is really troublesome to repair. I am definitely powerless alone. I need to find some formation masters to cooperate with me, so it will be faster. Also, repairing this formation requires many special materials. Without these things, I am also powerless."

Hearing Huo Chen's words, the Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator Tian Qinghu beside him hurriedly walked over. This person's cultivation has reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment and is also the one with the highest cultivation among the dozen or so Xiaoyao Sect cultivators present.

"Junior Brother Huo, we have plenty of manpower here. Finding dozens of formation masters is not a difficult thing. Later, let the formation masters of each family's cultivators gather to one side, and you can go and pick people directly. As for the materials for repairing the formation..."

"The materials for repairing the formation will be left to our Pingyang County. Later, please ask Fellow Daoist Huo to help list the required material list. I will discuss it with the cultivators of other families in the county and send it over as quickly as possible." Seeing Tian Qinghu's eyes about to fall on him, Cao Wanjiang, who had cultivated for many years, hurriedly agreed to this matter.

Seeing Cao Wanjiang so reasonable, Tian Qinghu nodded to him with a smile.

"That is settled. Everyone, hurry up and prepare. If we can repair the mountain-protecting great formation earlier, everyone can feel at ease."

After the discussion, everyone also became busy. Each family began to direct cultivators to continue cleaning the battlefield. Huo Chen also selected dozens of formation masters from the crowd and began to repair the damaged formation eyes around the market one by one. Song Qingming's formation level is okay, and he happened to be selected among them.

After Cao Wanjiang received the material list for repairing the formation from Huo Chen, the major Foundation Establishment families in Pingyang County also quickly notified the cultivators remaining at home to begin transporting materials. After all, the Jin Shan Market is their industry. The Xiaoyao Sect being able to help repair the formation is already a great help to them.

"Pure Heart Dharma Platform... Give it to me, break!"

A blue light quickly burst from Lu Boyang's hand, instantly dispersing the white mist that shrouded the space within dozens of zhang around him. As the white mist in front of him dispersed, the Xiaoyao Sect Sect Master who had appeared in front of Lu Boyang earlier also disappeared. Sure enough, he had just been hit by the beast's illusion technique.

Lu Boyang quickly swept his eyes around, only then seeing a green flood dragon over dozens of zhang long, spitting out a transparent white mist from dozens of zhang away below.

"Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon, you really came at the right time!"

Seeing the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon in front of him, Lu Boyang felt a sense of bad omen in his heart. This dragon is also a third-tier beast king, having cultivated for over a thousand years, and is especially good at using illusion techniques to control people's minds. Its strength is not something the white lion beast king can compare to.

Just this flood dragon in front of him already gave him a headache, not to mention that there was a white lion staring at him not far away. Encountering two beast kings at once really caught him off guard.

Not only that, but a sky-filling cloud of dust has already surged up not far ahead. It seems this Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon has also brought along quite a few demonic beasts. This place is only a few dozen miles from Jin Shan Market; at most, in less than half an hour, these demonic beasts will arrive at Jin Shan Market.

Once the cultivators on the front battlefield of the Jin Shan Market encounter the beasts' counterattack head-on, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Losing these cultivators, let alone the Jin Shan Market and Huoyun Mountain, the entire Pingyang County and even Jiangling Commandery will likely fall directly into the hands of the beasts.

Thinking of this, Lu Boyang quickly took out a high-tier sound transmission talisman and sent a sound transmission to notify the cultivators still in the Jin Shan Market to evacuate quickly, while he himself met the two beast kings in the high altitude.

Just as everyone in the Jin Shan Market was busy, Tian Qinghu, who was sitting in the square, suddenly received the evacuation sound transmission sent by Lu Boyang, which made him stand up in a panic.

Seeing that Tian Qinghu's face was not right, a Xiaoyao Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother Tian, is there a letter from Senior Uncle Lu? Could it be that he has already killed that white lion beast king?"

"Senior Uncle Lu did not say much in the letter, only saying that we should evacuate the Jin Shan Market quickly."

"What exactly happened? We finally retook this place with great difficulty, why evacuate again?"

Seeing that the junior brother beside him was still reluctant to give up the Jin Shan Market, Tian Qinghu shook his head, did not say anything more, and immediately informed Cao Wanjiang and the others of this news.

Cao Wanjiang did not believe it when he heard this news. However, he had already experienced two hundred years of wind and frost, after all, and still knew the importance and urgency of things. Without too much hesitation, he immediately began to notify the cultivators in the market to evacuate.

Although he issued the orders on his side very quickly, the cultivators below did not execute them quite as effectively. The various major families in Pingyang County were still busy clearing out spirit items in their own shops.

After receiving this news, some cultivators below were reluctant to give up the spiritual objects that had not been collected yet and were dragging their feet, failing to execute the order in time. The cultivators responsible for cleaning the battlefield outside the market were also the same, reluctant to give up the beast materials that had not been collected yet.
