Chapter 486

After receiving the decree from the Xiaoyao Sect, Song Song Qingming handed over the defense of Jinshan Market to Song Song Qingyu and Zhao Chuancheng and the others, and rushed to Mount Mount Guyang alone.

Because of the war on the northern front, most of the disciples within the Xiaoyao Sect were summoned to Mount Guiyun Market and Gaoyun County to fight the enemy. Now Mount Mount Guyang and Yangshan Market were also quiet, far from the prosperous scene of the past.

Because of the spirit beast turmoil, the State of Wei was also very turbulent and uneasy. Mount Mount Guyang was also activated at any time now...

Just as Song Song Qingming arrived outside the mountain-protecting formation of Mount Mount Guyang, two sword lights soon flew before him from the formation.

"Uncle-Master Song, greetings!" After recognizing Song Song Qingming's face, these two Foundation Establishment disciples guarding the mountain gate hurriedly stepped forward to salute and opened the sect formation for Song Song Qingming.

Since Song Song Qingming served as a guest elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, the sect had also hung his portrait in the Ancestral Hall. Except for some outer disciples with low status, the cultivators within the Xiaoyao Sect basically had the appearance of Song Song Qingming, this new elder of the sect, remembered in their hearts.

Traveling all the way, he came directly to the Xiaoyao Hall of the sect. Just as he walked into the hall, Song Song Qingming saw Li Li Mufeng drinking tea and chatting with a strange yellow-clothed cultivator in the hall, and a trace of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

This yellow-clothed man, like Song Song Qingming, was also a Golden Core cultivator. However, this person's cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of Golden Core, and the momentum emitted from his body was far stronger than Song Song Qingming's, faintly carrying a chill that made people somewhat cold.

What surprised Song Song Qingming even more was that Li Li Mufeng, the sect's Nascent Soul Supreme Elder who was usually high above, was chatting with this yellow-clothed man as if they were Golden Core cultivators of the same generation, completely without the airs of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

For someone who could make Li Li Mufeng treat him with such courtesy, not to mention seeing him with his own eyes, Song Song Qingming had never even heard of him, which couldn't help but make him feel a few more points of curiosity about this yellow-clothed cultivator.

"I didn't expect Li Li Xianyun's cultivation speed to be so amazing after forming a core. In just a mere hundred years, Li Li Xianyun has already cultivated to the seventh layer of Golden Core. Among so many Golden Core cultivators in the Xiaoyao Sect, apart from Bai Bai Yuxian with the Heavenly Spiritual Root, only the cultivation speed of the head of the sect, Yao Yao Qianshu, after forming a core back then, could compare with the current Li Li Xianyun."

Hearing the three words "Li Li Xianyun" from the yellow-clothed man's mouth, Song Song Qingming's expression gradually calmed down, and the numerous doubts and guesses in his heart just now instantly vanished into thin air.

"Song Qingming, come over and get to know Fellow Daoist Li. Although he is a loose cultivator, he is also a cultivator who formed a core in our State of Wei. This time, he came back specifically to help us deal with the spirit beasts in the northern border." Seeing Song Song Qingming walking in from outside the door, Li Li Mufeng hurriedly stood up and beckoned to him.

Back then, Li Li Xianyun was a loose cultivator in the State of Wei. He successfully reached Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty-five and formed a Golden Core before the age of one hundred. This genius-like cultivation speed caused even the numerous talented elite disciples within the Xiaoyao Sect to be suppressed by him.

If it were a hundred years ago, mentioning the name "Li Li Xianyun," the entire State of Wei would truly be known to everyone. Even if Song Song Qingming was only a small Qi Condensation cultivator at that time, he had long heard of this influential figure who had already become famous in the cultivation world of the State of Wei.

After learning that this person was Li Li Xianyun, Song Song Qingming was not surprised at all in his heart about the arrogance displayed on him, including why Li Li Mufeng would be so condescending to treat him with courtesy just now.

Hearing Li Li Mufeng say that this yellow-clothed cultivator was a loose cultivator who formed a core in the State of Wei, Song Song Qingming, who was walking halfway, immediately had a name pop up in his mind, which made the look of surprise on his face even heavier.

Facing Song Song Qingming's cupped-hand salute, the yellow-clothed man looked at him with a smile, then just stood up slightly, cupped his hands, and sat back down immediately.

"I, Song Song Qingming, have met Fellow Daoist Li!"

Back then, after Li Li Xianyun formed a core, even Li Li Mufeng, the Supreme Elder of the Xiaoyao Sect, came forward to invite him in person, and this guy could directly refuse. It could be seen that the arrogance on him was also innate.

"Li Li Xianyun"

In the cultivation world, whether it was loose cultivators, families, or great sect cultivators, most people would choose to make friends widely and form more good relationships so that they could take fewer detours on the path of cultivation.

But like a true genius like Li Li Xianyun, even if he chose to cultivate alone outside, his cultivation speed would not be slower than these great sect cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect. A cultivator with such strong innate cultivation talent like Li Li Xianyun was also the person Song Song Qingming truly envied in his heart now.

Although there were rumors in the cultivation world of the State of Wei that Li Li Xianyun was able to cultivate so smoothly because there was an expert supporting him behind his back, daring to directly refuse the Xiaoyao Sect's solicitation, Song Song Qingming, who had already formed a core, naturally would not easily believe such hearsay.

Just by looking at the scene of Li Li Mufeng chatting with Li Li Xianyun today, it could be seen that Li Li Xianyun's relationship with the Xiaoyao Sect now was definitely not simple. Otherwise, Li Li Xianyun, who had left the State of Wei for nearly a hundred years, could not have appeared in the Xiaoyao Hall at this time.

However, the Xiaoyao Sect being able to invite Li Li Xianyun, a Golden Core expert, back to the State of Wei to help at such a critical moment, to tell the truth, this was also a major event that Song Song Qingming had never expected before coming to Mount Mount Guyang.

Originally, he thought that Li Li Mufeng summoning him back to the sect this time was to support the more critical front line of Mount Guiyun Market. Now seeing Li Li Xianyun suddenly appear in the Xiaoyao Sect, Song Song Qingming also thought in his heart that this matter should not be that simple.

Sure enough, after Song Song Qingming sat down, Li Li Mufeng went straight to the point and told him about the plan the Xiaoyao Sect was preparing to counterattack the front line of Mount Guiyun Market.

Summoning Song Song Qingming back this time was not only to support Bai Bai Yuxian in Mount Guiyun Market, but Li Li Mufeng also wanted to take this opportunity to catch the spirit beast side off guard, striving to heavily injure the spirit beast side in one battle and completely drive all the spirit beasts near Mount Guiyun Market out of the territory of the State of Wei.

According to Li Li Mufeng's plan, Song Song Qingming and the others were to reorganize a cultivator army, first defeat the spirit beast army led by two Beast Kings stationed on the south side of Mount Guiyun Market, and then meet up with Bai Bai Yuxian and the others in Mount Guiyun Market, blocking the retreat of the other two Beast Kings that had already advanced south to Gaoyun County.

As long as these few Beast Kings could be successfully surrounded and killed, the spirit beast side would inevitably suffer great damage and could only be forced to retreat to the north of Mount Guiyun Market. In this way, the crisis at Mount Guiyun Market could be completely resolved.

However, this plan also had a problem that was not easy to solve, which was that Song Song Qingming and the others had to find a way to quickly defeat the two Beast King armies in a small market south of Mount Guiyun Market. Otherwise, once the time dragged on for too long, and they were supported by other Beast Kings from other places in Mount Guiyun Market in time to hold this place, this plan would have no way to proceed later.

High-tier Beast Kings also had secret techniques to communicate with each other from thousands of miles away. Once Song Song Qingming and the others made a move and the final attack failed, the two Beast Kings that had advanced south to Gaoyun County and were in a stalemate with True Person Daoist Guangling would inevitably receive the news and retreat north in time.

Once these Beast Kings were let go and they met up with those Beast Kings at Mount Guiyun Market, wanting to find an opportunity to kill them again would not be that simple.

The Nine-Patterned Jiao and the Fire Leopard Beast King stationed in that place were all mid-stage Golden Core Beast Kings with extraordinary strength. Relying only on Song Song Qingming and Li Li Xianyun, the overall strength of the two sides was not much different, and there was simply no advantage at all. Song Song Qingming felt somewhat puzzled about Li Li Mufeng's arrangement in his heart.

He was not lacking confidence in Li Li Xianyun's strength, but he himself had only just formed a core and could fight with a Beast King like the White Lion Beast King, which was an early-stage Golden Core Beast King. Facing a mid-stage Golden Core Beast King with stronger strength, Song Song Qingming truly had no confidence in himself to fully contain one opponent for Li Li Xianyun and create an opportunity for him to kill the Beast King.

"Uncle-Master Li, before the spirit beasts at Mount Guiyun Market come to support, defeating the Nine-Patterned Jiao and the Fire Leopard Beast King at Zixing Market, would it be too risky for only Fellow Daoist Li and me to go? You see, why don't you transfer the "Golden-Winged Flying Tiger" to us first? In this way, the certainty of success can be greater."

Seeing that Song Song Qingming's tone seemed somewhat lacking in confidence, Li Li Mufeng shook his head and said softly: "This time, apart from you and Fellow Daoist Li Xianyun, your Senior Brother Yao will also go together. With the three of you making a move together, I don't think there will be any problems with this battle."

"Has Senior Brother Head of the Sect come out of seclusion? This is truly great!" Hearing that Yao Yao Qianshu was going to act together, the slightly furrowed brows on Song Song Qingming's face immediately relaxed.

Since joining the Xiaoyao Sect and becoming a guest elder, although Song Song Qingming had not seen Yao Yao Qianshu, the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, many times, he soon heard some news about Yao Yao Qianshu's failure to impact the Nascent Soul realm not long ago.

Back then, when Chu Chu Fengping revealed to him that he wanted to hand over Jinshan Market to him, Song Song Qingming had already guessed that there should be a big problem within the Xiaoyao Sect. Later, he slowly learned that it was because the head of the sect, Yao Yao Qianshu, had damaged his own meridians after failing to impact the Nascent Soul realm and needed to go into seclusion to recuperate, making it difficult for him to make a move in the subsequent spirit beast turmoil.

The reason why the Xiaoyao Sect was so passive from the beginning in this spirit beast turmoil, apart from the spirit beast side having stronger strength than in the past, another biggest reason was that the sect's strongest Golden Core combat force, the head of the sect, Yao Yao Qianshu, had been in seclusion and recuperating and could not make a move to help.

Otherwise, Yao Yao Qianshu alone could contain two late-stage Golden Core Great Beast Kings. With this head of the sect sitting in Mount Guiyun Market, even if the Xiaoyao Sect suffered some small losses in this spirit beast turmoil, it was absolutely impossible to be so easily broken into Gaoyun County by the spirit beast army.

Seeing Song Song Qingming's happy appearance, Li Li Mufeng nodded calmly and ordered Song Song Qingming: "This time, Song Qingming, you are responsible for containing the Nine-Patterned Jiao. The Fire Leopard Beast King will be left to your Senior Brother Yao and Fellow Daoist Li. As long as you can contain the opponent for half an hour, it will be considered that you have made the first merit in this battle."

"Please rest assured, Uncle-Master. Song Qingming will naturally do his best and will never fail the sect's entrustment!" After hearing Li Li Mufeng's arrangement, Song Song Qingming stood up and answered with confidence.
