Chapter 476

After all the cultivators pursuing the demon beast army returned to Jinshan Market that night, in order to celebrate the victory of this great battle, under the arrangements of Zhao Chuancheng, Cao Rongxue, and others, the Jinshan Market cultivators specially moved out quite a lot of spirit wine from the treasury to reward the many participating cultivators.

Apart from those cultivators who were still cleaning up the battlefield and on duty outside the city, all the participating cultivators relaxed well. Song Qingming, the Golden Core True Person, also personally attended this grand event to encourage and praise the many participating cultivators who had made great contributions.

A few days later, in Song Qingming's cave dwelling.

Song Yuanli led the Law Enforcement Team cultivators and finally cleaned up all the corpses outside the city. They also counted the merits and casualties of all the participating cultivators after the great battle at Jinshan Market a few days ago.

"Seventh Great-Uncle, this time we beheaded a total of nine Tier 2 demon beasts and more than eight hundred Tier 1 demon beasts. I have already let the Law Enforcement Team move these demon beast materials into the market treasury. After they are all classified in a few days, they can be used to reward those who made contributions."

Hearing Song Yuanli report the results excitedly, Song Qingming, sitting at the head, nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "How big is our loss this time? Have the spirit stones needed to comfort those who died in battle been counted?"

"In this battle, apart from Senior Zhao, more than 160 Qi Refining stage cultivators died in battle. According to your previous instructions, each Qi Refining stage cultivator is comforted with 150 spirit stones, and the total comfort money needs about 25,000 spirit stones.

However, apart from a portion of those demon beast materials used as rewards, it is estimated that there are still more than 20,000 spirit stones of materials left, which is almost enough for comfort later. Only on the Zhao family side, you may need to talk to the sect to see how many merit points it is appropriate to reward them."

Mentioning the losses in this great battle, Song Yuanli's excited expression slowly returned to calm. Although this battle was a great victory for the human cultivator side, it also paid a heavy price of more than 100 cultivators dying on the spot, and even one Foundation Establishment cultivator fell in the great battle.

Although the demon beast side did not have much advantage in low-level demon beasts, the number of Tier 2 demon beasts was almost twice that of Jinshan Market. If it weren't for the fact that several late-stage Foundation Establishment experts like Song Qingyu and Cao Rongxue could contain several Tier 2 demon beasts alone, the losses of the human cultivator side in this battle would probably have been even greater than now.

After hearing the specific casualties counted by Song Yuanli, Song Qingming pondered for a moment, sighed, and said: "I will remember this matter. You can tell the Zhao family first that I will find a way to let the sect comfort them with a Foundation Establishment Pill after the battle.

These Law Enforcement Team cultivators can only hide in the rear to supervise the battle in this battle, watching everyone fighting desperately with demon beasts on the battlefield, naturally, they also feel somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.

"You Law Enforcement Team supervising the battle is not only an important guarantee for the entire great battle but also the last line of defense in the market. Do not forget the heavy responsibility you bear just because of what others say. With you here, we can rest assured to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Although Zhao Mengzhen and I don't have much friendship, we have met several times. You still need to comfort the Zhao family well when you see them, and don't let them feel cold!"

Now the Law Enforcement Team cultivators are all eager to try, hoping that they can go to the battlefield to make contributions next time to prove the ability and courage of their Law Enforcement Team.

"It's hard for you to be busy with these trivial matters day and night these days. After finishing this matter, you should also go back and rest, don't delay your cultivation!"

"Seventh Great-Uncle, please rest assured, Yuanli has remembered it!"

"In this battle, our Law Enforcement Team didn't have a chance to participate in the battle. Compared to everyone fighting desperately with demon beasts on the battlefield, we just did some aftermath work. How dare we say it's hard work, Seventh Great-Uncle, you are too polite!" Hearing Song Qingming's words, Song Yuanli replied with a somewhat ashamed expression.

"Although your Law Enforcement Team didn't make contributions on the battlefield in this battle, it also made a great contribution to the entire great battle. It's just that now it is the time of our great battle with demon beasts, I am afraid that rewarding your Law Enforcement Team will lead to too much criticism. Rest assured, after the demon beast unrest is over, everyone will be rewarded based on merit."

Song Qingming naturally knew something about their Law Enforcement Team's situation. After hearing Song Yuanli's thoughts, Song Qingming still shook his head slightly and said solemnly:

In addition, after the battle, the Law Enforcement Team punished many cultivators who were lazy and did not listen to orders on the battlefield, which naturally caused a lot of criticism in the market these days.

"Then I will thank Seventh Great-Uncle on behalf of all the brothers first!" Although he did not get permission to participate in the next battle from Song Qingming, he at least fought for some credit for his subordinates, and Song Yuanli's somewhat disappointed expression improved slightly.

After Song Yuanli left, Huang Siyuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yuanli, this child, is also somewhat unable to hold his temper. Do you want to give him a chance to go to the battlefield to temper himself next time?"

Song Qingming waved his hand with a smile and said: "It's not that I have selfishness and don't let him go to the battlefield, it's just that I am still somewhat worried about handing the Law Enforcement Team to others now.

By the way, how is Qingyu? Is her injury okay?"

"I went to see her yesterday. Although Sister Qingyu's injury has not fully recovered, there is no big problem. It is estimated that after taking the healing pill, she will be able to recover after recuperating for about half a month!" Hearing Song Qingming ask about Song Qingyu, Huang Siyuan hurriedly explained.

Because Song Qingyu performed too prominently on the battlefield in this battle, she was besieged by three or four Tier 2 demon beasts at the same time. Fortunately, Huang Siyuan came to help in time, so she did not encounter a big crisis.

However, after the great battle ended, Song Qingyu immediately went into seclusion to heal her injuries, and did not even attend the celebration banquet in the evening, which made Song Qingming somewhat worried about her injuries.

Seeing that Song Qingyu's injury had no big impact, Song Qingming also breathed a sigh of relief. Although only more than 100 people died in the Jinshan Market battle, more than 300 people were injured like Song Qingyu and needed to recuperate temporarily and could not continue to fight. At this time, the overall strength in Jinshan Market was actually much weaker than before the great battle with demon beasts.

And it was not just the loss of cultivator personnel, the spirit stones for operating the formation, and the spirit talismans, pills, and magic tools consumed by many cultivators in the great battle were also not small, which also made Song Qingming somewhat worried now.

Although Song Qingming had issued an edict to all families in Pingyang County and Qinghe County after the battle to collect these important strategic materials, it would certainly take some time. If a demon beast army killed their way over at this time, Jinshan Market would still be very dangerous.

Fortunately, after the demon beasts retreated north, although they were still staying in Huangling Valley hundreds of miles away from Jinshan Market, they did not move south on a large scale to attack Jinshan Market. Only small groups of demon beasts began to bypass Jinshan Market and attack the spirit mountains on the north side of Pingyang County.

However, these demon beasts were not powerful in scale or strength. Although they also posed a certain threat to the immortal cultivation families on the north side of Pingyang County, they did not cause much destructive power under the organization of cultivators to rescue in Jinshan Market.

After Song Qingming worried for a few days, good news finally came from Jinshan Market: the cultivators from Liuyang County and Jiangling County finally arrived at Jinshan Market after more than half a month of long-distance trekking.

Ten Foundation Establishment cultivators plus nearly a thousand Qi Refining cultivators entered Jinshan Market, which also made the worry in Song Qingming's heart gradually dissipate.

Just more than ten days after the great battle between Jinshan Market and the demon beast army, news also came from several other battlefields where Wei Guo was fighting with demon beasts.

The ones besieging Guiyun Market were still the many demon kings under the Golden Feather Mountain. These demon kings had been dealing with the Carefree Sect for many years. After moving south to besiege Guiyun Market, after a great battle with the Carefree Sect, although both sides had losses, the more powerful demon beast side still occupied quite a lot of advantages.

The Carefree Sect side not only lost many cultivators, but even Golden Core Elder Zhao Fenglian was accidentally heavily injured by a demon king in this great battle and returned to the sect to heal. Fortunately, Guiyun Market still had a very powerful high-grade mountain-protecting formation. Although the demon beast side occupied some advantages at this moment, it was still very difficult to break through here in a short time.

The situation at Tuoyun Mountain was also somewhat tense. Although only a Golden Crane Demon King in the early Golden Core stage was attacking there, the strength of this demon was still much stronger than Feng Yangde, who only formed a false core. The two sides only fought once, and Feng Yangde quickly fell behind and hid in the mountain-protecting formation, not daring to come out to fight again.

Fortunately, before Chen Jinliang passed away, he still left quite a lot of useful assets for Tuoyun Mountain. Using several Tier 3 spiritual items left by Old Ancestor Chen, Feng Yangde, relying on the Tier 3 mountain-protecting formation on Tuoyun Mountain, could still persist for a period of time.

Compared to the situation at Guiyun Market and Tuoyun Mountain, the situation at Iron Immortal Castle was even worse. Although Chen Jinliang united with Ma Hongshan and Chu Fengping to hunt the Black Flame Tiger, which was the biggest threat to them, decades ago, for some reason, there were as many as four demon kings near Iron Immortal Castle this time.

After the demon beast army in the west besieged Iron Immortal Castle, the Carefree Sect also quickly lost news of the Ma family. Now they didn't know what the situation in Iron Immortal Castle was like, but under such circumstances, it was certainly somewhat ominous.

Although there was also a Tier 3 mountain-protecting formation in Iron Immortal Castle, facing the siege of so many demon kings, even if the Ma family could drag it out for a while, without powerful reinforcements to save them, they would certainly be very difficult to persist until the end of the demon beast unrest.

Learning the news that the situation on several other battlefields was somewhat passive, a look of surprise also appeared on Song Qingming's face.

Although Song Qingming had a premonition at the beginning that Wei Guo might not be as easy to overcome as a hundred years ago in this demon beast unrest, he did not expect that this great battle had just begun, and their side had already fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage so quickly.
