Chapter 54: Support

After returning to the camp, Song Qingming took out the materials on the Flame Rat again. After reorganizing them, early the next morning, Song Qingming took the Flame Rat's iron claws and found Shi Mofeng, stating his thoughts directly, and spent ten spirit stones to ask him to take action to help refine a magic treasure.

Shi Mofeng looked at the demonic beast materials and spirit stones taken out by Song Qingming and smiled meaningfully. As soon as he saw the fresh demonic beast materials in Song Qingming's hand, he knew that these things must have been obtained by Song Qingming in the past few days.

But he didn't ask much, readily agreed to Song Qingming, and even patted his chest to guarantee that he would definitely help Song Qingming refine a mid-grade magic treasure.

"Fellow Daoist Song, rest assured, this old man still has some profound essence iron on hand, just enough to refine a magic treasure. I guarantee to help you refine a handy magic treasure within half a month."

Shi Mofeng stroked his gray beard and said to Song Qingming with a serious face.

"Then I will trouble you, Senior." Song Qingming said with a smile and cupped his hands.

Seeing that this matter was very smooth, Song Qingming hurried away from Shi Mofeng's place. This old man didn't ask about the source of his materials, which also saved him some arguments.

Not long after walking out of Shi Mofeng's tent, Song Qingming received a sound transmission talisman. After opening it and seeing the content of the transmission, it turned out that Lu Yunfei, the leader of their Flying Cloud Guard, gathered everyone to assemble urgently in the west of the camp.

"It's strange. It's only been more than half a month since I arrived here, and a part of the location hasn't been explored yet. Why are we transferring the camp so quickly?"

Joining the Flying Cloud Guards for a few months, except for the time when the camp needed to be transferred every month, Song Qingming had never seen Lu Yunfei issue such an emergency assembly sound transmission talisman, and a trace of doubt could not help but appear on his face.

Just as he was pondering, Shi Mofeng also drilled out of the tent, holding a sound transmission talisman in his hand, obviously he had also received this news.

When the two arrived in the west of the camp, five or six people had already gathered here. Lu Yunfei was whispering something to two cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect not far away.

The few people who had already arrived also had some confusion on their faces. Song Qingming saw Jia Sixing in the crowd and was about to step forward to ask.

Jia Sixing saw Song Qingming walking toward him, hurriedly shook his head with a smile, indicating that he also didn't know what had happened. Song Qingming saw this and simply walked to Jia Sixing's side, closed his eyes to rest, and waited with everyone for other people who hadn't arrived yet.

After a quarter of an hour, basically all the cultivators of the eleventh guard of the Flying Cloud Guards had arrived here. Feng Laogui also walked to Jia Sixing's side, his face seemed somewhat unhappy, and he muttered a few words to Jia Sixing.

Song Qingming counted, and there were sixteen cultivators in the eleventh guard including him. Except for a few cultivators who were already out performing tasks, basically all those who were still in the camp had arrived here.

Seeing that basically everyone had arrived, Lu Yunfei and the other three finally stopped talking and walked toward the crowd.

After looking at everyone, Lu Yunfei said with a heavy face: "Fellow Daoists, earlier today, I suddenly received a red rescue spirit talisman from Fellow Daoist Luo Ping. Fellow Daoist Luo is afraid that he encountered some danger while investigating demonic beasts. Just now, I discussed with the two junior brothers and have already sent a spirit talisman to request Senior Uncle Liu to come and support us. Later, Junior Brother Chen will be responsible for staying behind to guard the camp and wait for Senior Uncle Liu's support, and the rest will follow me to assist Fellow Daoist Luo first."

"What exactly did Fellow Daoist Luo encounter to actually send a red rescue talisman? Could it be that he encountered a second-tier demonic beast?" A young cultivator who was about the same as Song Qingming and hadn't joined the Flying Cloud Guards for long asked.

"With Fellow Daoist Luo's cultivation at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, why would he send a red rescue talisman? I'm afraid it's not an ordinary second-tier demonic beast."

As soon as the young cultivator's voice fell, someone immediately took over the words.

After hearing this news, everyone started discussing one after another.

The Flying Cloud Guards had two kinds of rescue spirit talismans on them. One was an ordinary blue spirit talisman, which was only effective within a hundred miles. Generally, it was when they were entangled by difficult or multiple demonic beasts and had difficulty escaping for a short time that they would send a rescue spirit talisman to find fellow Daoists nearby to come and support.

Song Qingming had also sent this kind of blue rescue spirit talisman before. That time, he also received Feng Laogui's support in time. This kind of spirit talisman was only a mid-grade spirit talisman, and its value was not high. It was common for cultivators in the Flying Cloud Guards to use it, so it was not a strange thing.

The other kind, the red top-grade rescue spirit talisman, had a very different effect. Its effective range was more than twice that of the blue spirit talisman. Generally, the Flying Cloud Guards would only actively issue it when they encountered life-threatening danger.

Once this kind of spirit talisman rescue appeared, the Flying Cloud Guard who sent the spirit talisman must have encountered a powerful crisis. In the depths of this Fuyun Mountain Range, the most likely thing to pose a life threat to these Flying Cloud Guards was these elusive second-tier demonic beasts.

Lu Yunfei interrupted everyone again and said: "Everyone knows that the Flying Cloud Guards have never randomly abandoned every member. Today, no matter what danger Fellow Daoist Luo encountered, we must hurry to support him. This time supporting Fellow Daoist Luo, I hope everyone will work together and not be perfunctory. Everyone hurry back to prepare. After a stick of incense, we will set off together."

Everyone nodded one after another and returned to their respective tents to make preparations before setting off.

After Song Qingming returned to his tent, he always had a strange feeling in his heart. Since joining the Flying Cloud Guards for a few months, no one in their team had ever encountered second-tier demonic beasts during the investigation.

This time, Lu Yunfei organized more than a dozen of them to go out together to support, which was still somewhat confident. These people acted together, even if they faced a second-tier demonic beast, even if they couldn't save the unlucky Fellow Daoist Luo, they had a great hope of escaping completely.

Before setting off, Lu Yunfei had also notified the Foundation Establishment senior of the Flying Cloud Guards nearby. Foundation Establishment cultivators stepped on magic treasures and traveled through the air, and at most half a day would be enough to catch up here. At this time, although these people were somewhat surprised, most of them didn't have much fear.

After hearing this news, Song Qingming didn't know why, but he always had some hidden uneasiness in his heart. Although he really wanted to withdraw from this support operation, he really couldn't find any suitable reason now, so he could only take one step at a time.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and everyone gathered in the camp again. Under the leadership of Lu Yunfei, they went to the north of the camp. The camp, which had just been bustling, soon became quiet.

After they walked for about an hour, a cyan light passed through the long sky and soon fell to the open space beside the camp.

After the cyan light fell, it turned into a small boat, and three young women walked down from it.

One of the yellow-clothed women looked at the empty camp and said respectfully to the palace-dressed woman in the middle:

"Master, it seems that Brother Lu and the others have already gone to support. I will go and see if there is anyone left behind here."

The palace-dressed woman didn't speak, just nodded lightly.

Just as the yellow-clothed woman walked into the camp, a middle-aged cultivator who was a little older in the tent in front heard the movement outside and ran out in a panic.

The middle-aged cultivator was named Chen Ziyang, who was the cultivator who stayed behind to guard the camp under Lu Yunfei's arrangement.

Chen Ziyang saw the yellow-clothed woman, let go of a trace of tension in his heart, and said to the woman with a smile: "I thought there was a demonic beast harassment, so it was Junior Sister Gao. Has Senior Uncle Liu arrived?"
