~22 min read 4,248 words

Before the "Blue Feather Demon King" could find the source of this killing intent, a slightly serious voice not far away reached its ears.

The "Blue Feather Demon King" looked up and saw that a sharp cyan sword light had appeared dozens of zhang away at its side, accompanied by a monstrous momentum, rushing straight at it, as if it wanted to tear it into pieces with one sword.

The owner of this sword light was precisely Song Song Qingyu, who had arrived at "Jin Shan Square" to support a few days ago.

In order to make the "Blue Feather Demon King" relax its vigilance, from the beginning of this battle, Song Song Qingyu had never appeared on the battlefield, patiently hiding on one side of the square market to find a suitable combat opportunity.

After the "Blue Feather Demon King" had fought with Huang Huang Siyuan for half an hour, the "Blue Feather Demon King," which had consumed a lot of spiritual power, had relaxed its vigilance at this moment.

Taking advantage of the other party's lowered vigilance, Song Song Qingyu, who had been prepared for a long time on the side, launched her strongest sword strike of the day at the "Blue Feather Demon King."

This was also the plan that Huang Huang Siyuan and Song Song Qingyu had set from the beginning. In order to keep the "Blue Feather Demon King" and help Song Song Qingyu succeed in one blow, Huang Huang Siyuan even used a very precious third-grade low-grade talisman on her person.

This sword strike of Song Song Qingyu was precisely her strongest killing move, "Meteor Flying Sword," after she cultivated the sword path supernatural power.

The power of this sword was huge. Except for those Core Formation late-stage cultivators with relatively strong supernatural powers, ordinary Core Formation cultivators simply could not resist it. Back then at "Mount Tuoyun Mountain," Song Song Qingyu relied on this supernatural power to severely injure the "Green Crocodile Demon King" and finally beheaded it under Mount Tuoyun Mountain.

However, although this strike was very powerful, there were conditions for launching this supernatural power. It not only required accumulating spiritual power for a period of time in advance, but also consumed most of its own spiritual power after use. Without the certainty of victory, Song Song Qingyu did not dare to use it casually.

At this moment, facing this sword strike from Song Song Qingyu, the "Blue Feather Demon King" also felt huge pressure. However, its reaction speed was faster than the "Green Crocodile Demon King" of the past, and it had long since discovered that this sword strike from Song Song Qingyu was very powerful.

Therefore, the "Blue Feather Demon King" did not choose to take this strike head-on and hurriedly flapped its huge wings desperately.

After several streaks of lightning flowed over its body, the "Blue Feather Demon King" immediately turned into a streak of blue escape light, accompanied by a burst of thunder, and disappeared from the spot, flying toward the distance.

Because the road ahead was blocked by the talisman, and there was the "Purple Gold Seal" controlled by Huang Huang Siyuan surrounding and blocking it on the side, the "Blue Feather Demon King" could only choose to detour from the side, which also won a lot of time for Song Song Qingyu.

Although the "Blue Feather Demon King's" lightning escape secret technique had an escape speed that was not inferior to a Core Formation middle-stage peak Demon King, the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" chasing from behind was also not slow.

The "Blue Feather Demon King," which was fully blocked by Huang Huang Siyuan, finally failed to dodge this sword strike from Song Song Qingyu and was pierced through the abdomen by it, immediately letting out a scream.

At this moment, the "Blue Feather Demon King," severely injured by Song Song Qingyu, could not care about the low-grade demon beasts below. It immediately held its huge wound and turned into a blue escape light, fleeing desperately toward the north.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan looked at each other, and without caring about the cultivator army below, they immediately followed and chased after it.

The "Blue Feather Demon King" was already seriously injured at this moment, and its escape speed was slower than before when fleeing desperately. Song Song Qingyu and the other naturally did not want to let go of this opportunity to behead it.

Beheading a Core Formation Demon King could not only get a lot of merit from the sect's Merit Pavilion, but also harvest many high-grade demon beast materials of great value. This was naturally something they could not easily miss.

Although the "Blue Feather Demon King" was seriously injured, its escape speed was not much slower than Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan when fleeing desperately. The three of them chased out hundreds of miles to the north one after another.

After persisting for a period of time, the "Blue Feather Demon King" finally gradually slowed down its escape speed because its injuries were getting heavier and heavier, and it was gradually caught up by Song Song Qingyu and the other.

"Evil beast, today you are destined to die!"

After catching up with the "Blue Feather Demon King," Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan did not give the other party a chance to escape again and immediately launched a siege on it.

At this time, the "Blue Feather Demon King" was already seriously injured and could not display any supernatural means. Facing the siege of the two women, it was already in despair and could only desperately urge its own life-bound inner core to resist.

However, such a dying struggle was ultimately futile. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the "Blue Feather Demon King" screamed and died in the hands of Song Song Qingyu and the other.

"Hehe! Finally beheaded this demon. It didn't waste our efforts. Sister-in-law, I said I could severely injure this demon with one sword, I wasn't bragging to you, right!"

After controlling the life-bound flying sword to take out the demon inner core from the "Blue Feather Demon King's" body, Song Song Qingyu hurriedly smiled and said to Huang Huang Siyuan on the side.

"Hmm! Song Qingyu, you have made a great contribution this time. Later, I will personally cook to reward you with a meal." Seeing Song Song Qingyu's appearance of wanting to claim credit from her, Huang Huang Siyuan hurriedly smiled and responded to her.

Just as the two were talking, two streaks of escape light suddenly appeared to their north, flying toward them at high speed.

Seeing these two streaks of escape light that seemed to be attracted by the fighting movement here, Huang Huang Siyuan and the other were also slightly startled and hurriedly revealed a look of vigilance.

After the two streaks of escape light were slightly closer, the two finally saw clearly that what came was a five-colored golden toad and a three-eyed white wolf. The escape speed of these two demon beasts was not inferior to Song Song Qingyu and the other, and they were obviously Demon Kings whose cultivation had reached the Core Formation stage or above.

"How come there are two more strange Demon Kings? Not good, the situation is a bit wrong. Song Qingyu, let's retreat back first!"

After seeing clearly that they were two Demon Kings with extraordinary strength, Huang Huang Siyuan's face changed, and she immediately shouted loudly to Song Song Qingyu on the side.

Seeing this, Song Song Qingyu looked at the corpse of the "Blue Feather Demon King" in front of her that she had not had time to collect, and without too much hesitation, nodded, and the two immediately turned around and left the place quickly.

Previously, in order to behead the "Blue Feather Demon King," Song Song Qingyu used her strongest supernatural power, "Meteor Flying Sword," and the spiritual power in her body had already been consumed by more than half. At this moment, facing two Core Formation Demon Kings with extraordinary strength, she also had no confidence to fight them again.

Although she was reluctant to abandon those high-grade demon beast materials on the "Blue Feather Demon King," now that her own safety had been threatened, they could not consider these external objects too much.

Seeing Song Song Qingyu and the other wanting to escape, the two Demon Kings who came to chase were also relentlessly following behind Song Song Qingyu and the other, and constantly tried to use spells to attack, wanting to keep them.

Fortunately, the location of the two was not too far from "Jin Shan Square." After a chase and fight, they still successfully escaped back to the square market side.

After Song Song Qingyu and the other chased out before, the demon beast army attacking "Jin Shan Square" had already begun to retreat to the north because the "Blue Feather Demon King" had issued a retreat order.

On the "Jin Shan Square" cultivator side, except for some cultivators who were still chasing the demon beast army outside, the rest of the people had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing their two Old Ancestors return, the crowd below was about to cheer, but they did not want to suddenly see the two Demon Kings chasing behind them not far away, and they were a bit confused about the situation and did not understand why.

"Notify everyone, hurry up and retreat to the square market first!"

After Huang Huang Siyuan and Song Song Qingyu arrived above the battlefield, they immediately transmitted sound to the Law Enforcement Team cultivators below, asking them to hurry back to the square market array and notify the cultivators who went to chase the demon beast army to withdraw.

Afterward, in order not to let the Demon Kings go to slaughter the cultivators below and cause too much loss to the "Jin Shan Square" cultivator army, Huang Huang Siyuan and Song Song Qingyu turned around and began to contain these two Demon Kings who were chasing.

The "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "Bai Lang Demon King" who chased over were both Demon Kings whose cultivation had reached the Core Formation middle-stage, and their strength was obviously higher than that of Song Song Qingyu and the other, who were in a somewhat poor state at the moment.

Fortunately, at this moment, Song Song Qingyu and the other had already retreated to the vicinity of the square market's sect-protecting array. Even if they were not the opponent, they could retreat back into the array at any time, and they did not have too many concerns in their hearts.

Just like this, after entangling with these two Demon Kings for a while, seeing that the cultivators below had all escaped back into the sect-protecting array, Song Song Qingyu and the other also immediately retreated back and blocked the two Demon Kings outside the sect-protecting array.

The "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "Bai Lang Demon King" who had just chased over tried to attack the "Jin Shan Square" sect-protecting array, but seeing that they could not break through the array by themselves for a while, although they were unwilling, they still quickly turned around and left "Jin Shan Square."

Seeing the two Demon Kings outside finally retreat, Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan, who were hiding in the sect-protecting array, finally felt relieved, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.

In the previous battle, after the two defeated the "Blue Feather Demon King" together, the victorious side, after a chase and fight, finally killed the biggest enemy in front of them, and thought they had completely solved the trouble in front of them.

Unexpectedly, the two strange Demon Kings who appeared suddenly in a moment made the situation on the scene change, and the two of them also changed from pursuers to objects of pursuit.

Thinking of what had just happened, Song Song Qingyu and Huang Huang Siyuan looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"Sister-in-law, how come there are two more Core Formation middle-stage Demon Kings here suddenly? Why didn't Mount Guiyun Square send a letter to greet you in advance?"

Hearing the doubt in Song Song Qingyu's tone, Huang Huang Siyuan, who had just recovered, immediately shook her head and replied: "Song Qingyu, these two Demon Kings are not right. I don't think they came from Mount Guiyun Square. I stayed there for a period of time before, and I have basically seen the more than a dozen Demon Kings brought by the Brother Molong Demon King, and I did not find these two Demon Kings."

"What, not from Mount Guiyun Square? Then where did they come from? How did they appear near Jin Shan Square so coincidentally? Could it be that they just came from the Northern Frontier?" Song Song Qingyu heard this, and the doubt on her face deepened.

Huang Huang Siyuan thought for a moment and shook her head: "Currently, it can only be determined that they are very likely to be foreign Demon Kings. As for whether they came from the Northern Frontier, it is hard to say now."

"However, I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, and I still have to send a letter to inform Mount Guiyun Square as soon as possible to prevent any accidents."

After Huang Huang Siyuan finished speaking, she immediately took out a red sound-transmission talisman from her person, said a paragraph of words, and immediately cast a spell to send it into the air. Soon, this talisman turned into a streak of red escape light and rushed south directly to Mount Guyang Mountain.

The two stayed on the city wall for a while, and seeing that the cultivators who went to chase the demon beast army had begun to return to the square market one after another, they returned to their cave dwelling.

In this battle, although the "Jin Shan Square" side beheaded the "Blue Feather Demon King" and many low-grade demon beasts, because of the two Demon Kings who appeared suddenly, the human cultivator side did not expand the results later.

The "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "Bai Lang Demon King" failed to intercept Song Song Qingyu and the other, and on the way back, these two Demon Kings, who were holding a breath of anger, vented their anger on the human cultivators passing by, and many unlucky cultivators died in their hands.

After informing the sect of the news, in order to prevent the demon beast army from returning, Huang Huang Siyuan and Song Song Qingyu immediately organized the cultivators in "Jin Shan Square" to step up preparations for battle to deal with possible troubles.

As Song Song Qingyu and the other expected, after these two Demon Kings retreated, they did not wait for a few days before they led a huge demon beast army of thousands of demon beasts, which was larger than before, to arrive outside the "Jin Shan Square" sect-protecting array and besieged the entire square market.

This time, the demon beast army that came to attack "Jin Shan Square" was not only numerous and powerful, but the attack was also very fierce, unlike the demon beasts under the "Blue Feather Demon King" before, which were just to harass and contain, and retreated immediately after fighting for a period of time.

Under the command of the "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "Bai Lang Demon King," thousands of demon beast armies attacked the "Jin Shan Square" sect-protecting array in turns. In just over ten days, the human cultivator side lost many cultivators.

However, fortunately, Huang Huang Siyuan and Song Song Qingyu had already seized the opportunity to behead the "Blue Feather Demon King" and defeat the demon beast army under its command, and did not let these two demon beast armies merge into one place.

Otherwise, if they had to face three Demon Kings plus thousands of demon beast armies at the same time, the pressure faced by Huang Huang Siyuan, Song Song Qingyu, and the many cultivators in "Jin Shan Square" would be even greater.

Just when "Jin Shan Square" suddenly encountered the fierce siege of two strange Demon King armies, in the conference hall of "Mount Guiyun Square," Li Li Mufeng and the others heard the battle reports from all over the place just sent from Mount Guyang Mountain, and were also very shocked.

It was not just the sudden change on the "Jin Shan Square" side. "Mount Tuoyun Mountain" and "Mount Tiexian Castle," for some reason, suddenly had several Demon King armies besieging them.

Now the power of the demon beast army in these two places had suddenly increased, and the pressure faced was even greater than "Jin Shan Square," and it was already in jeopardy and could not persist for too long.

But at this moment, on the "Mount Guiyun Square" side, the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor" was also attacking the square market array fiercely for days, making the Carefree Sect side unable to draw out enough power to rescue "Mount Tuoyun Mountain" and "Mount Tiexian Castle."

At this moment, Li Li Mufeng, standing at the head, facing this problem in front of him, also showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

Bai Yu, standing below, hesitated for a moment before speaking first.

"Senior Uncle Li, although there are four Demon Kings at Mount Tiexian Castle, there is a third-grade middle-rank sect-protecting array, and Senior Sister Li and the others can still persist for a period of time."

"But the defense power on Mount Tuoyun Mountain is relatively weak. Now facing the siege of three Demon Kings, the demon beast army is more than twice the number of the defenders. Senior Brother Daoist Guangling and the others definitely cannot hold on. I think we can only plan early and give up there first."

After Bai Yu took over as Sect Master, she had always been relatively stable in important sect discussions. Even she, the Sect Master, had said the words of giving up, which showed that the Carefree Sect side was indeed unable to do anything better.

"Senior Uncle Li, Senior Sister Bai is right. Now that the demon beast army has suddenly increased in strength, all the sect's power has gone to the front line, and we have no other power to reinforce Mount Tuoyun Mountain."

"It is better to send a large flying boat to find a way to pick up Senior Brother Daoist Guangling and the others. As for the low-grade cultivators and mortals on the mountain, we can only give them up now."

Just after Bai Yu finished speaking, Li Li Wutong, the Law Enforcement Elder who was also anxious on the side, immediately said his thoughts.

Hearing what the two said, Li Li Mufeng, who knew that the front-line situation had reached a critical moment, flashed a look of determination in his eyes and nodded slowly to everyone present.

"The top priority is that we must send people to Mount Tuoyun Mountain to rescue Daoist Guangling and the others. However, wanting to break through the blockade of the demon beast army and pick them up is not an easy thing. I don't know who among you can take on this heavy responsibility!"

"Senior Uncle Li, this matter is quite dangerous. I think I should go to Mount Tuoyun Mountain." Seeing that Li Li Mufeng had made up his mind, Chen Chen Xuanxin stood out first, wanting to take on this heavy responsibility.

However, just after he finished speaking, Li Li Mufeng directly shook his head: "Now the pressure on Mount Guiyun Square is also not small. Once you Core Formation late-stage cultivators appear outside, if the Brother Molong Demon Emperor strengthens the attack intensity, I fear the square market sect-protecting array will have the risk of being broken by the demon beasts."

"Once Mount Guiyun Square is lost, I fear we will have to hand over the entire north of Wei Guo to the demon beasts. Now we cannot take this risk again. You, Li Wutong, and Bai Yuxian cannot go."

"Senior Uncle Li, I have stayed at Mount Tuoyun Mountain for a period of time and am still familiar with the terrain there. It is better for me to go to Mount Tuoyun Mountain!"

Song Song Qingming, who had been silent while standing below, saw Li Li Mufeng reject Chen Chen Xuanxin's idea of going to battle, and immediately stood out to request to go to "Mount Tuoyun Mountain" for rescue.

Wanting to lead a large flying boat to break through the blockade of the demon beast army led by three Demon Kings and rescue some cultivators from Mount Tuoyun Mountain, the risk of this task was too high. Except for the three Core Formation late-stage cultivators present, the rest of the people did not have much confidence.

Among the many Core Formation cultivators in the conference hall, excluding the three people Bai Yu rejected, the highest cultivation was currently Song Song Qingming. Even if he did not stand out actively, it was estimated that this matter would fall on him for the most part.

Seeing Song Song Qingming actively request to go, Li Li Mufeng, who was sitting at the head, immediately showed a look of relief and nodded slightly:

"Song Qingming, the sect is in a dangerous situation at this moment, and currently only you can take on this responsibility. Then this matter is entrusted to you. I hope you will not fail the expectations of everyone and solve worries for the sect!"

Song Song Qingming responded immediately: "Senior Uncle Li, rest assured, I will definitely try my best to bring Senior Brother Daoist Guangling and the others back!"

After speaking, Song Song Qingming did not delay and immediately turned around and left the conference hall.

After Song Song Qingming left, Li Li Mufeng turned to Bai Yu and said: "Send another letter to Mount Tiexian Castle, and let Zhao Menglian and the others find an opportunity to evacuate Mount Tiexian Castle as soon as possible and retreat to Purple Star Square first."

"Evacuate Mount Tiexian Castle? Senior Uncle Li, letting Senior Sister Zhao and the others evacuate now, will it be a bit too early!" Hearing Li Li Mufeng say that he wanted to evacuate "Mount Tiexian Castle," Bai Yu and the people below all showed a look of doubt.

"Mount Tuoyun Mountain" and "Mount Tiexian Castle" were two important defense lines in the northwest of Wei Guo. Once these two places fell at the same time, it would be equivalent to the northwest of Wei Guo being wide open.

At that time, the demon beast army would inevitably drive straight in from here and penetrate deep into the northern hinterland of Wei Guo. For the Carefree Sect that ruled Wei Guo, this would inevitably be a major loss that was difficult to bear.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Li Li Mufeng sighed: "Now the demon beast side has suddenly come with so many reinforcements. As long as Mount Tuoyun Mountain is lost, the demon beast army there will continue to move south, and Mount Tiexian Castle will immediately fall into the siege of more demon beast armies."

"Now the power of the enemy and us is disparate, and Zhao Menglian and the others cannot support for too long either. Once the demon beasts of Mount Tuoyun Mountain move south, it will be too late for them to evacuate then, and they will inevitably pay a greater price."

"It is better to break through and evacuate now, so that we can preserve more living power."

"The reinforcements of the demon beast side this time are a bit strange. I estimate that they may have secretly come from Zheng Guo. I have personally written a letter to the Heavenly Extreme Sect to ask about this matter, and there should be results in a few days."

"Regardless of whether they came from Zheng Guo, we want to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and it will take at least a month. During this period, the sect must hold "Mount Guiyun Square"."

"As long as this square market is still there, the main force of the demon beast army will not dare to move south easily. No matter how much the loss is, we must persist. Otherwise, once Mount Guiyun Square is occupied by the demon beasts, it will not be so easy for the sect to take it back."

Speaking of this, Li Li Mufeng showed a bit of sadness on his face.

Since he took charge of the sect, the hundred-year demon beast chaos, although the Northern Frontier demon beasts would cause certain losses to the Carefree Sect every time, the situation was basically under the sect's control and did not affect the foundation of the Carefree Sect.

However, this time, the situation seems to be a bit different. The entire Carefree Sect has reached a critical moment of life and death. Once one step is wrong, I fear the entire sect territory will have the danger of being eaten away by the demon beasts step by step.

The many Core Formation cultivators below, after hearing Li Li Mufeng's explanation, also fell into silence. They were all Core Formation cultivators who had practiced for many years, and the difficult situation of the sect was naturally very clear to them. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 689 =====
