After the black token appeared, "Daoist Lingxu" quickly cast a set of spells with both hands. The token then grew several times larger and slowly flew above Song Qingming's head, emitting a burst of golden spiritual light that covered his body.

"I have already used the Golden Sun Token to bless you with protective golden light. This method can purify magic power and strengthen your physical perception, helping you stay on the Grand Void Stone Tablet for a longer time. Next, you can safely contact the stone tablet and deduce the follow-up techniques!"

After "Daoist Lingxu" finished speaking, he switched to controlling the "Golden Sun Token" in mid-air with one hand and sat down patiently on the spot.

Song Qingming, who was shrouded in golden spiritual light, felt that his whole body had suddenly become very heavy, and the spiritual energy flowing all around had become somewhat slow.

When he looked at the "Grand Void Stone Tablet" not far away with his eyes that were already shrouded in golden light, he found that the patterns and runes on it were also much clearer than before, and even the spiritual energy flowing on the stone tablet could be seen clearly by him.

"The protective golden light emitted by this Golden Sun Token can actually strengthen a cultivator's five senses to this extent. The power of a spirit treasure is truly hard to believe!"

After feeling the changes in himself after the blessing of the protective golden light above his head, Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and then calmed his mind to concentrate his spiritual sense and release the magic power in his body to contact the "Grand Void Stone Tablet." — Floating Yunshan Range, Qinghe County, northern Wei Kingdom.

On this day, a red sound-transmission talisman suddenly flew from outside Mount Funiu, heading straight for the top of the mountain, and before long, it landed on top of a bluestone in the Law Enforcement Hall of the Song family.

Seeing this red light strike, the two Song family Qi Condensation cultivators who were guarding this place and meditating beside the bluestone immediately opened their eyes when they saw this.

"It's a red sound-transmission talisman. I'm afraid some emergency has occurred somewhere again. Xuanlong, you guard here; I will take the message to Elder Yuanhao first."

After confirming that the letter was an emergency message used by the family outside, the older late-stage Qi Condensation cultivator immediately instructed the other person beside him, and then took the message and walked away quickly.

Before long, this Song family cultivator arrived at an open space to the west of the Law Enforcement Hall with the letter in his hand.

At this moment, a handsome young man on the open space was fighting with a giant bird over two zhang tall, and sounds of violent thunder could be heard from time to time.

"Reporting to Elder, the hall just received an emergency distress letter!"

Seeing the thunder and lightning falling continuously in front, the person didn't dare to move forward, so he had to stand in the distance and shout at Song Yuanhao, who was training in fighting techniques with the "Heavenly Fire Roc."

"Distress letter? Bring it here for me to see. Is there somewhere else that needs our help again!"

After hearing the shout from below, Song Yuanhao in mid-air immediately withdrew the magic power around his body, fell from mid-air, and came to the messenger with an excited look.

Ever since he came to Mount Funiu when he was young, Song Yuanhao had become good friends with the "Golden Fire Roc" that stayed in the back mountain of the family.

After Song Yuanhao successfully established his Foundation, because they both practiced thunder-attribute techniques, they often practiced fighting techniques together.

After years of hard cultivation, Song Yuanhao's cultivation base had successfully broken through to the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment not long ago. Now, fighting against the "Heavenly Fire Roc," whose cultivation base was close to the peak of the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he could already occupy a slight upper hand in cultivation base.

After taking the letter and opening it to take a look, Song Yuanhao's expression suddenly changed. The excitement on his face slowly disappeared and instantly turned into a look of solemnity.

"Old friend, I have something to do and must leave first. Let's stop here for today, you go back first!"

After Song Yuanhao shouted loudly at the "Heavenly Fire Roc" that was still waiting for him not far away, he took the messenger and quickly left the Law Enforcement Hall, rushing straight toward the direction of the family council hall.

About half an hour later, in the Song family council hall, several family elders led by Song Yuanfang were discussing the distress letter brought by Law Enforcement Elder Song Yuanhao somewhat intensely.

Except for the elders guarding outside, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Song family on the mountain had gathered in the council hall at this moment.

Including Song Yuanfang, who was in charge of family affairs, most of the many family elders sitting in the Song family had somewhat solemn expressions at this moment, seemingly having encountered something difficult to choose.

Since the clan leader Song Qingming left, nothing major had happened in the Song family territory for nearly twenty years, and such a situation rarely appeared in the family council hall.

Just as everyone was discussing intensely in the hall, a streak of green sword light suddenly appeared outside the council hall, and subsequently, Song Qingyu, who had just come out of seclusion from the cave dwelling, walked in quickly with a calm expression.

Twenty years had passed, and Song Qingyu's cultivation base had now successfully reached the third layer of Core Formation, and the pressure of her aura was much stronger than before.

"Greetings to the Chen Chen Laozu!"

As soon as Song Qingyu's figure appeared, the many elders of the Song family sitting there immediately quieted down, stood up, and bowed to her.

After Song Qingyu swept her gaze over everyone, she nodded with a smile, then walked to a vacant seat at the head of the council hall and sat down.

"Yuanfang, is it Mount Tuoyun asking for help again? What is the situation over there now?"

Just after sitting down, Song Qingyu's gaze shifted to Song Yuanfang, who was sitting at the lower head, closest to her.

Seeing this, Song Yuanfang, who was well-prepared in his heart, hurriedly stood up and replied: "Reporting to Chen Chen Laozu, this is still a distress letter sent by Lin Yutang.

According to what he said in the letter, the situation seems to be more serious than last time. Besides the Liu Yunhe Demon King near Mount Tuoyun, another new demon king has arrived.

Now the two demon kings are taking turns attacking the protection formation of Mount Tuoyun. If we don't send people to support them immediately, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for too long."

"Two demon kings? Besides the Liu Yunhe Demon King, what is the cultivation base of the other demon king? Did they make it clear in the letter?" After hearing Song Yuanfang's explanation, Song Qingyu's brows also became a bit more solemn.

"Zhang Rong didn't go out to fight against them. According to Lin Yutang's estimation, the strength of this demon king is weaker than the Liu Yunhe Demon King, and it should only be a demon king with an early-stage Core Formation cultivation base." Song Yuanfang replied truthfully.

"Chen Chen Laozu! Now that two demon kings have come to Mount Tuoyun, and Chen Chen Laozu Siyuan is still in seclusion refining pills and it is inconvenient for her to take action, I am afraid it will be somewhat dangerous if you go alone.

For this matter, we might as well notify the Xiaoyao Sect first and wait for the sect to send reinforcements before going to support Mount Tuoyun together. This will be safer.

In any case, the sect also occupies a large share of the Mount Tuoyun market, so it is impossible for them not to care about this matter."

Just after Song Yuanfang finished speaking, Song Yuansue, who was worried on the other side, immediately spoke out her thoughts.

"Yes! Chen Chen Laozu, a demon king also appeared near Jin Shan Market last year. Now the north is already very restless. If you go to support Mount Tuoyun alone at this time, I am afraid you will fall into the demon beasts' ambush. It is better to wait until there is news from the sect before I send people to support."

Just after Song Yuansue finished speaking her thoughts, another family Foundation Establishment elder, Song Xuanting, also echoed.

Song Qingyu didn't express her position after hearing this, and asked Song Yuanfang on the side: "Has this matter been reported to the sect?"

"When Lin Yutang and the others sent us a message, they had already sent a distress letter to the sect. After I received their news, I also sent a letter to the sect's Law Enforcement Hall to explain this matter. I estimate that they should receive the news soon."

After hearing Song Yuanfang's reply, Song Qingyu nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "The clan leader promised to protect Mount Tuoyun back then. Now that the agreement with them still exists, it is somewhat unreasonable for us to sit idly by.

Moreover, the family still receives a dividend of thousands of spirit stones from the Mount Tuoyun market every year, which is also a significant income for the family. You cannot just look at the present and ignore the family's future development.

This time, two demon kings came to Mount Tuoyun at once. Relying on Zhang Rong alone, I am afraid he won't be able to hold on for too long and will be unable to wait for the sect's support in time. Once something goes wrong with Mount Tuoyun, it will also be a great loss for our Song family.

I will go to Mount Tuoyun to see the situation first. Yuanhao and Yuanli will go with me, and the others will stay to guard the mountain gate first.

Send a message to Jin Shan Market as well. Tell them to be more vigilant during the time I am away, and don't be careless and let the demon beasts in the north take advantage of the loopholes.

If this trip cannot relieve Mount Tuoyun, I will send a message back then. Yuanfang, you take my sect token and go to Mount Guyang in person to find Senior Sister Xu and Senior Brother Chu to help, and let the sect send people to support immediately.

Chen Chen Laozu Siyuan is still at the critical moment of impacting the third-tier pill refiner. Unless it is a last resort, no one is allowed to disturb her at will. You must remember this matter."

"We will strictly follow the Chen Chen Laozu's orders!"

After hearing Song Qingyu's instructions, everyone in the council hall didn't say anything more, and all stood up and responded in unison.

Before Song Qingming left, he had already handed over the family's power to Song Qingyu. Coupled with the fact that another family Chen Chen Laozu, Huang Siyuan, had been busy with cultivation and pill refining and rarely participated in family affairs, for the past twenty years, most of the major decisions in the family had been made by Song Qingyu.

After handing over her sect guest elder token to Song Yuanfang, Song Qingyu took out her natal flying sword, carried Song Yuanli and Song Yuanhao, and left Mount Funiu, heading straight for the northeast. Standing on the flying sword, Song Qingyu thought of some things that had happened to the family recently, and a look of worry appeared on her face.

In recent years, for some reason, the demon beasts in the Floating Yunshan Range in the north of the Wei Kingdom had suddenly undergone great changes, and many unfamiliar demon kings had suddenly appeared.

Clearly, there was still some time before the once-in-a-century beast tide, but Mount Tuoyun had already begun to be repeatedly attacked by high-tier demon beasts. Even near Jin Shan Market, the figure of an unfamiliar Core Formation demon king appeared last year, which frightened the major families in Pingyang County.

In recent years, because the pressure from the demon beasts in the Floating Yunshan Range had suddenly increased, many loose cultivators in places like Mount Tuoyun, Guiyun Market, and Jin Shan Market had already begun to migrate to the interior of the Wei Kingdom in advance.

For a time, rumors that the beast tide would appear in advance were spread everywhere, making some people in the Song family territory feel panicked.

Facing the changes in the demon beasts in the Floating Yunshan Range in the north, Song Qingyu, who had been guarding the family for these years, also had some bad premonitions in her heart at this moment, and couldn't help but think of Song Qingming, who had been separated for many years.

"If Seventh Brother were here at this time, I wouldn't have to worry about these things all day. I hope he can rush back in time!"

Song Qingming had been to the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world for a full twenty years. According to what he said before leaving the family, he should be back around this time.

Now that the north of the Wei Kingdom was beginning to be restless, and Song Qingming, the backbone of the family, was not in the clan, Song Qingyu, who was in charge of the family, also felt increased pressure. However, in front of the clansmen below, she had always maintained a very calm expression.

One hour after setting off from Mount Funiu, Song Qingyu and the three crossed a distance of thousands of miles and arrived near Mount Tuoyun. Seeing from afar that many demon beasts had already surrounded the mountain and were attacking the protection formation, Song Qingyu, standing in mid-air, couldn't help but frown slightly.

Ever since Zhang Rong successfully formed a fake core, because Song Qingming actively left Mount Tuoyun, for these decades, the Song family had almost not intervened in the affairs of Mount Tuoyun.

Taking advantage of the Song family's forces leaving Mount Tuoyun, the "Jin Yunge," under the leadership of Lin Yutang and Zhang Rong, quickly expanded its influence, excluded the influence of the Song family and the Xiaoyao Sect, and controlled the entire Mount Tuoyun except for the market.

Now, except for some Xiaoyao Sect cultivators guarding the market, the "Jin Yunge" had also recruited more than thirty Foundation Establishment loose cultivators and thousands of Qi Condensation cultivators on Mount Tuoyun to help guard the spirit mountain.

The existing power in the "Jin Yunge," coupled with the third-tier protection formation that Song Qingming had helped strengthen when he was still there, logically speaking, they should have the ability to hold the protection formation when encountering individual early-stage Core Formation demon king attacks, without needing to ask for help from outside.

However, three years ago, the Liu Yunhe Demon King, who had been scared away by Song Qingming and had disappeared for a long time, successfully broke through to the mid-stage of Core Formation. With greatly increased strength, the Liu Yunhe Demon King brought many demon beasts under his command and came to attack Mount Tuoyun aggressively again.

Facing the mid-stage Core Formation Liu Yunhe Demon King, Zhang Rong, as a fake core cultivator, didn't dare to go out to fight against him, so he could only rely on the protection formation to hold on while sending a letter to the Song family for help.

After receiving the distress call from "Mount Tuoyun," Song Qingyu didn't hesitate too much and immediately took people to support.

Song Qingyu's cultivation base had reached the third layer of Core Formation, and coupled with her practice of the sword cultivation path that was good at fighting, her strength could already compete with ordinary fourth-layer Core Formation cultivators, and she was not weaker than the Liu Yunhe Demon King who had just broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Fighting on the home field of "Mount Tuoyun" relying on the protection formation, Song Qingyu already occupied some advantages, and with the help of Zhang Rong, a fake core cultivator, after a great battle with the Liu Yunhe Demon King, they still managed to repel the attack of the demon beast side without any danger.

Compared to three years ago, the demon beasts brought by the Liu Yunhe Demon King this time had increased significantly. Just the second-tier demon beasts of the Foundation Establishment stage were no less than fifty or sixty, and the low-tier demon beasts of the Qi Condensation stage were countless.

The Liu Yunhe Demon King and another Green Crocodile Demon King, whom Song Qingyu and the others had never seen before, each led thousands of demon beasts, taking turns attacking the protection formation on "Mount Tuoyun."

"Lin Yutang and the others were not wrong. The cultivation base of this Green Crocodile Demon King is only early-stage Core Formation. As long as we cooperate properly, we still have a chance to repel the demon beast attack.

There are relatively few demon beasts in the east. Yuanli, Yuanhao, you two go in from there together. After entering Mount Tuoyun, tell Zhang Rong to take people to the south to cooperate with me, and see if we have a chance to defeat the Green Crocodile Demon King first.

After you are ready, use this sound-transmission spirit talisman directly. I will cooperate from the rear at that time. As long as we can successfully severely injure one demon king, we should be able to repel this demon beast attack in one fell swoop."

After observing the demon beast army that was attacking the "Mount Tuoyun" protection formation with all their might for a while, Song Qingyu quickly had an idea to break the enemy and instructed the two people behind her.

"Don't worry, Auntie, we will definitely not fail the mission!"

The demon beasts besieging the formation on the east side of Mount Tuoyun were led by only a few second-tier demon beasts, and their strength was not strong.

Song Yuanli's cultivation base had reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, and Song Yuanhao, who practiced thunder-attribute techniques, also had fighting ability close to that of a seventh-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The two who followed Song Qingyu had the combat power of the late stage of Foundation Establishment. For Song Yuanli and the others, breaking through the demon beasts' blockade from here to enter Mount Tuoyun was not a very difficult thing.

After receiving the order, Song Yuanli and Song Yuanhao immediately took out their flying swords, transformed into two streaks of sword light, and circled around to the east of "Mount Tuoyun."

The hundreds of demon beasts that were attacking the protection formation there with all their might only had a cultivation base of mid-stage Foundation Establishment at the highest. It wasn't until Song Yuanli and the other flew above their heads that they noticed the two.

Seeing that Song Yuanli and Song Yuanhao wanted to enter "Mount Tuoyun" from them, the leading few second-tier demon beasts hurriedly looked up and released several spells, wanting to stop the two. Some low-tier bird demon beasts in the sky also quickly surrounded the location of the two.

Facing the attacks of many demon beasts, Song Yuanli hurriedly released a black bronze bell, which transformed into a protective cover to block the several attacks coming from below.

Song Yuanhao's hands had also gathered two giant blue balls flashing with thunder light. He threw the two thunder balls in his hand toward his head with a calm expression.

After these two thunder balls collided, they immediately made a thunderous sound, and the thunder light quickly spread to the surroundings, killing the seven or eight bird demon beasts blocking the two in the blink of an eye in mid-air.

As the two strongest fighters in the family besides the three Core Formation Old Ancestors, Song Yuanli and Song Yuanhao had fought for the family many times over the years, guarding the safety of the family territory.

The cooperation between the two on the battlefield had long been very proficient. Relying on their advantages in cultivation base, they easily repelled the first round of attacks from the surrounding demon beasts and broke through the blockade of these demon beasts.

After breaking through the obstruction of the demon beasts in front, Song Yuanli and the other didn't entangle with them anymore, immediately accelerated their flying light, and quickly approached the "Mount Tuoyun" protection formation before the few second-tier demon beasts behind could catch up.

Just as the two engaged with the demon beasts, the cultivators guarding the formation in the "Mount Tuoyun" protection formation had already discovered them.

Seeing Song Yuanli and the other break through the demon beasts' obstruction, two Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately rushed out from the formation to meet them, helping them get rid of the entanglement of the demon beasts that were chasing them, and quickly retreated into the formation together.

After Song Yuanli and the other broke into "Mount Tuoyun," they immediately found Lin Yutang and the others who were commanding the cultivators to resist the demon beasts' attack on the formation outside, and informed them of Song Qingyu's idea of attacking from inside and outside to catch the enemy off guard.

Seeing that Song Qingyu had already arrived outside "Mount Tuoyun," the elderly Lin Yutang was also excited. He hurriedly followed Song Qingyu's plan and let Zhang Rong gather most of the cultivators on the mountain to rush toward the Green Crocodile Demon King who was attacking the formation on the west side.

The "Green Crocodile Demon King," who didn't know the plan of the human cultivators, was still trying his best to command the demon beasts under his command to attack the eyesore "Mount Tuoyun" protection formation.

Having attacked with the "Liu Yunhe Demon King" for a whole day, the "Mount Tuoyun" protection formation still showed no flaws, and the "Green Crocodile Demon King" was also somewhat angry at this moment.

While desperately urging the demon beasts below to intensify their attack, he himself also released powerful spells from time to time to attack the formation, wanting to find a flaw in the "Mount Tuoyun" protection formation.

The "Green Crocodile Demon King" had also arrived near the north of the Wei Kingdom not long ago. Eager to find a high-tier spirit vein to practice, he had taken a fancy to this spirit vein with good spiritual energy on "Mount Tuoyun."

Just as the "Green Crocodile Demon King" was casting spells again to gather several powerful water arrows to attack the "Mount Tuoyun" protection formation, a streak of spiritual light flashed in the formation, and a middle-aged man in yellow clothes flew out.

Zhang Rong, holding a silver flag magic treasure, quickly cast spells to dance the flag in his hand, transforming a giant silver python from it.

After this giant silver python saw the water arrows flying from afar, under Zhang Rong's control, it opened its mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of spiritual light with cold air, freezing all the water arrows flying in front of it in mid-air.

Just after Zhang Rong blocked the attack of the "Green Crocodile Demon King," the protection formation behind him also actively opened a gap. After a burst of shouting, nearly a thousand human cultivators on "Mount Tuoyun" also followed Zhang Rong out of the protection formation.

Seeing Zhang Rong suddenly appear to block his attack, the "Green Crocodile Demon King" was not too angry, but rather seemed a bit happy.

After attacking for a whole day, these human cultivators hiding in the protection formation finally couldn't sit still and took the initiative to come out to meet the battle.

Seeing this, the "Green Crocodile Demon King" also roared, commanding the demon beast army below to quickly kill the human cultivators rushing out of the protection formation, while he himself stepped on the white clouds under his feet and rushed toward Zhang Rong's location.

Facing the aggressive "Green Crocodile Demon King" in front of him, Zhang Rong didn't show a trace of fear on his face, but instead took the initiative to control the giant silver python in front of him to spit out a burst of cold air to actively launch an attack on the "Green Crocodile Demon King." The two sides immediately entangled together.

However, Zhang Rong was only a fake core cultivator after all, and his fighting strength was far from being the opponent of the second-layer Core Formation "Green Crocodile Demon King." After the two fought for only a few dozen rounds, Zhang Rong soon fell into a disadvantage. (End of chapter)
