Chapter 293: Battle Results

As soon as Lu Yuanfeng arrived, he saw Huang Shengxin holding Cheng Yilong's head in his hand, with a headless corpse on the side, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Ah! I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Huang to have already beheaded this thief. I arrived a step late."

"Hehe! Brother Lu doesn't know, this thief was not killed by me, but died in the hands of Brother Qingming." Seeing Lu Yuanfeng mistakenly think that he had beheaded Cheng Yilong, Huang Shengxin sighed and hurriedly explained.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Huang having seriously injured this guy before, how would I have had the opportunity to execute this thief? I wouldn't dare to take credit for such a first achievement."

Just as Lu Yuanfeng and Huang Shengxin were talking, Song Qingming, who was sitting on the side healing his injuries, had already recovered a bit and stood up from the ground.

He hadn't actually suffered too heavy an injury in the battle with Cheng Yilong just now. The reason he didn't recover so quickly was just to show the difficulty of killing his opponent in front of them, deliberately making his injuries look a bit heavier.

Hearing Song Qingming say this and wanting to return this first achievement to himself, Huang Shengxin was immediately delighted. He hadn't expected this kid in front of him to be so sensible and not choose to take credit for this achievement.

"This is the storage bag on the thief, and a magic tool he just used. I will leave them to Brother Lu to deal with."

After taking the storage bag handed over by Song Qingming, Lu Yuanfeng returned the black long knife used by Cheng Yilong to Song Qingming.

"There are spiritual items lost in Qinghefang this time in this storage bag. I still need to go back and open it for statistics before dealing with it. I will accept it on behalf of the marketplace first."

"As for the magic tool on him, it is not a spiritual item of our Qinghefang. Since this thief died in your hands, the magic tool on him should naturally belong to you, Brother. Do you two have any objections?" After speaking, Lu Yuanfeng turned his gaze to the Huang family duo.

"Brother Lu's words are very true. We have no objections. Fellow Daoist Qingming fought this thief hard just now and was not lightly injured. Now he is still willing to take the initiative to hand over this magic tool, which shows he is a broad-minded person." Huang Shengxin agreed with Lu Yuanfeng's proposal with a smile and praised Song Qingming by the way.

Huang Shengyue on the side also nodded and didn't say much. Song Qingming had already given the first achievement of killing Cheng Yilong to their side, and the Huang family had already obtained the benefits they wanted most from this trip. Naturally, they wouldn't choose to haggle with Song Qingming over a second-tier magic tool.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Song Qingming was no longer polite, took the magic tool, and put it directly into his storage bag.

Just as the few were talking, several sword lights rushed over. It was Gao Jinhe and the others who had already solved Chen Zicong.

At this moment, Gao Jinhe was also holding a head in his hand. Their side was relatively smooth, only Gao Yubai suffered a minor injury from the opponent's desperate counterattack before death.

"Sigh! This thief is truly hateful. He hurt Fellow Daoist Huang and Fellow Daoist Song like this. Killing him just like this is really letting him off too easily. It is also to blame us for not being able to come and support in time, causing Fellow Daoist Huang and Fellow Daoist Song to be so heavily injured."

Seeing that Huang Shengxin and Song Qingming, who had returned, were both injured, Gao Jinhe, this old guy, did not forget to intentionally step forward to express condolences and disgust them a little.

He knew that Cheng Yilong was not easy to deal with, so he had taken the initiative to choose to chase and kill Chen Zicong. He was thinking about whether he could quickly behead Chen Zicong and then go to Song Qingming and the others to get a share. He didn't expect that Chen Zicong would also be ruthless in the end, delaying them for a lot of time. By the time they arrived here, Huang Shengxin was already holding Cheng Yilong's head.

Regarding Gao Jinhe's jealousy, although Huang Shengxin was a bit unhappy, he didn't haggle with him. The greatest achievement of beheading Cheng Yilong had already fallen into the hands of the Huang family. For them, the purpose of this trip had been perfectly achieved. In the future, after reporting to the Xiaoyao Sect, relying on this first achievement of exterminating Eagle Nest Ridge, it would be enough for the Huang family to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill if they wanted to.

"It's getting late. Everyone, hurry back and see if there are any fish that slipped through the net!" Seeing that Gao Jinhe seemed to be still a bit jealous, Lu Yuanfeng hurriedly came out to smooth things over and took everyone to gather with the other Qi Refining cultivators.

At the foot of Eagle Nest Ridge, by the time Song Qingming and the others returned, the battle here had also ended. The dozens of bandits who were still resisting were later killed by Lu Yuanfeng, who had returned to bring reinforcements. Except for a small portion who were lucky enough to escape under the cover of night, the more than a hundred bandits of Eagle Nest Ridge were basically all wiped out.

Facing these bandits who had no way out, their side also suffered heavy losses in this final battle, with twenty or thirty people killed or injured, including a late-stage Qi Refining elder of the Xu family who had come with Song Qingming.

The Xu family had moved to the Song family's sect for less than ten years, and the cultivators in the clan added up to only a dozen people. Losing a late-stage Qi Refining elder all of a sudden was really bad luck. Fortunately, after returning, the Song family would take out some spiritual items to comfort the relatives and clansmen of the dead cultivators. As long as they developed peacefully for a period of time, they would be able to cultivate new late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

By the time everyone killed their way to Eagle Nest Ridge, they indeed found Wu Xiang, who had wanted to surrender earlier, in a hidden cave dwelling. At this moment, he had already turned into a cold corpse. Needless to say, everyone could guess that he should have been killed here by Cheng Yilong and the others after they discovered the clues after he contacted Lu Yuanfeng. Then they used Wu Xiang's identity to agree on the details of surrender with the foot of the mountain, and finally deceived the two Gao family members and rushed down the mountain.

Fortunately, there were enough people this time, and there were two late-stage Foundation Establishment experts, Huang Shengxin and Gao Jinhe, so they didn't let these two escape, which could be considered as wiping them all out.

Under Lu Yuanfeng's arrangement, many Qi Refining cultivators went up the mountain again and turned the entire Eagle Nest Ridge over, looting all the spiritual items before leaving here.

Although Qinghefang paid a considerable price this time, completely solving the scourge of Eagle Nest Ridge, which had harmed the marketplace for decades, could be considered a great success, solving a major hidden danger in the northeast of Wei State.

After returning to Qinghefang, Lu Yuanfeng took people to count the spiritual items seized this time, and the harvest was also very rich.

Not only did they take back most of the spiritual items lost in Qinghefang last time, but they also scraped out spiritual items worth tens of thousands of spirit stones from the many bandits of Eagle Nest Ridge.

Each family in Qinghefang was very satisfied with this fruitful battle result, including the Cao family cultivators from Pingyang County who came to support, who also shared many spirit stones.

Of course, the happiest was Lu Yuanfeng, who took the initiative to launch this counterattack with everyone. Qinghefang was breached and lost so many spiritual items. If this battle hadn't been won, he, the person in charge of Qinghefang sent by the Xiaoyao Sect, would probably have been recalled to the sect to be held accountable.
