~23 min read 4,469 words

Although the flying boats were traveling at an altitude of over a hundred zhang, the many low-tier beasts below that could not fly could not attack this side, but there were also quite a few bird beasts on the beast side that could fly.

There were also more Foundation Establishment stage second-tier or higher beasts than the Foundation Establishment cultivators here at "Mount Tuoyun," and the pressure faced by the two flying boats' protective formations at this moment was also not low.

However, fortunately, the speed of the large flying boats was much faster than those low-tier beasts. As long as they could cover the flying boats to rush out of the encirclement of these beasts, Song Qingming and the others could increase their speed and shake off the beast army in the sky.

As long as they shook off the numerous low-tier beasts, even if the remaining three Demon Kings could catch up to the flying boats in speed, facing the large army of cultivators on the flying boats, they would definitely not dare to rashly pursue deep.

Song Qingming alone faced two Demon Kings. With the help of "Jin Feng," this Jin Dan third-layer corpse puppet, he fought relatively easily and did not let these two Demon Kings get close to the flying boats behind him by even a step.

True Person Guangling and Zhang Rong faced the Jin Dan mid-stage "Liu Yunhe Demon King." Although they were slightly at a disadvantage, they also firmly contained this Demon King.

However, because of the constant harassment of the many low-tier beasts in front, the speed of the two large flying boats at this time was far from as fast as when they came. For a time, it was difficult to shake off the constant siege of those beasts all around.

"Senior Brother Luo, quickly use the talisman treasure to repel the enemy!"

Seeing that it was difficult to shake off the predicament, Song Xinyu, who had been staying near the flying boats to direct, shouted loudly to another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Xiaoyao Sect who was traveling with him after killing two low-tier beasts that had just chased nearby. The two of them retreated directly back to the flying boats.

Subsequently, Song Xinyu took out a black gourd talisman treasure from his body. After a burst of spell casting, hundreds of black water arrows shot out from this black gourd, directly killing toward the beast group that had gathered in front of the flying boats.

The other person also used a flying sword talisman treasure, directly gathering a giant golden flying sword over ten zhang high in front of him. Subsequently, this giant golden sword flew to mid-air in front, and slashed out a sword qi with fierce momentum.

These two powerful talisman treasures were specially received by Song Qingming from the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Hall before departure, and had already been handed to Song Xinyu and the other person before the battle, to be used to open up the situation at critical moments.

After the two talisman treasures were used at the same time, the power of the close-range spell casting was no less than ordinary third-tier low-quality spiritual talismans. In an instant, it melted hundreds of low-tier beasts in front of the flying boats and a few second-tier Foundation Establishment beasts that did not have time to escape, opening up a gap sufficient for passage in the direction the flying boats were advancing.

Taking advantage of the great opportunity when the beasts in front had just dispersed, the two flying boats immediately increased speed and rushed forward. Under the arduous efforts of everyone, they finally rushed out of the beast army's encirclement and started to increase speed to fly toward the distance.

After shaking off those low-level beasts, only a few second-tier beasts were left nearby still chasing desperately. The pressure on everyone on the flying boats immediately lightened quite a bit.

Song Qingming and the others, who were responsible for containing the few Demon Kings, saw that the flying boats behind had already escaped danger, and traces of relief appeared on their faces one after another.

Just when everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief, a burst of cries suddenly sounded from the sky not far away, and immediately after, a golden escape light chased toward the location of the flying boats.

"Not good! The beast side has reinforcements." Zhang Rong, who was containing the "Liu Yunhe Demon King," saw this golden escape light, and his face immediately changed as he shouted.

Demon Kings above Jin Dan already had intelligence no less than ordinary human cultivators. Two days ago, the Liu Yunhe Demon King and the others discovered that Song Qingming had brought people to rescue "Mount Tuoyun," and soon they notified the Brother Molong Demon Emperor who was far away in "Guiyun Workshop" of this news.

After learning that Song Qingming was no longer in "Guiyun Workshop," the Brother Molong Demon Emperor intensified the attack on the workshop formation, and also quickly sent reinforcements to support the few Demon Kings over at "Mount Tuoyun."

This "Silver Tail Demon King" who had just arrived nearby was exactly the one sent to support by the order of the Brother Molong Demon Emperor not long ago.

Unexpectedly, they had just arrived at "Mount Tuoyun" when they ran into Song Qingming and the others breaking out. The "Silver Tail Demon King" only then left the beast army under its command and hurried to the battlefield here to support first.

Seeing that the other side had come with another Demon King, the three of Song Qingming, who were covering the flying boats' retreat, secretly called out not good in their hearts.

Although this "Silver Tail Demon King" did not have high cultivation, only Jin Dan early-stage, it was also a genuine Jin Dan Demon King. If it were allowed to catch up and entangle the flying boats, relying only on Foundation Establishment cultivators like Song Xinyu, they would absolutely not be able to deal with it.

Seeing the "Silver Tail Demon King" coming aggressively straight toward the location of the flying boats, Song Qingming, who was entangled by two Demon Kings and difficult to break free for a time, did not have too much thought. While suppressing the "Flame Lion Demon King" he was fighting, he raised his hand and sacrificed a spirit beast bag at his waist.

Soon, hundreds of "Golden Illusion Butterflies" with five-colored spiritual light appeared beside Song Qingming, and subsequently, under his command, they flew over and blocked the "Silver Tail Demon King."

Although the strength of these "Golden Illusion Butterflies" on Song Qingming was not strong, hundreds of them acting at the same time could also entangle a Jin Dan early-stage Demon King for a short time.

It was just that Song Qingming now needed to deal with the two Demon Kings in front of him at the same time. Under such circumstances, having to divert his mind to control the "Golden Illusion Butterflies" in the distance, the demand for spiritual sense control in his body immediately doubled, making him feel great pressure all at once.

Just like this, after persisting for a quarter of an hour, the "Silver Tail Demon King," which was surrounded by the "Golden Illusion Butterflies," suddenly cast a spell and spat out a very fierce silver flame, allowing it to quickly open a gap.

Seeing that the "Golden Illusion Butterflies" controlled by Song Qingming could no longer block the "Silver Tail Demon King," and the flying boats behind everyone had not yet been able to go far.

True Person Guangling immediately sent a sound transmission to Zhang Rong beside him, asking him to go over first to help block the "Silver Tail Demon King," leaving himself here to contain the "Liu Yunhe Demon King" alone.

After receiving the sound transmission from True Person Guangling, Zhang Rong, knowing the situation was urgent, also did not have much thought, immediately decisively withdrew from the battle, circled to the front and blocked the "Silver Tail Demon King" that had just broken free from the entanglement of the "Golden Illusion Butterflies."

Just as Zhang Rong left, the pressure on True Person Guangling, who was dealing with the "Liu Yunhe Demon King" alone, immediately doubled. Fortunately, Song Qingming nearby approached him in time, helping True Person Guangling share a portion of the pressure.

With the help of the "Golden Illusion Butterflies" on Zhang Rong's side, he also successfully blocked the "Silver Tail Demon King" that wanted to go and pursue the flying boats. The three of them also temporarily stabilized the battlefield situation somewhat arduously.

"Senior Brother Guangling, the flying boats should have escaped danger now. You and Zhang Rong retreat first, I will cover the rear!"

After fighting for almost half a stick of incense, seeing that the many second-tier beasts pursuing the flying boats had lost their target and retreated, Song Qingming hurriedly sent a sound transmission to True Person Guangling and Zhang Rong beside him, letting the two of them withdraw from the battle first.

True Person Guangling was not good at spell battles to begin with, and added to the fact that he was already old at this time, his cultivation strength was far inferior to before. After fighting the "Liu Yunhe Demon King" for a while, he was also forced to be somewhat flustered and difficult to support.

If it weren't for Song Qingming occasionally looking after him from the side, I am afraid he would have long been unable to defeat his opponent and been defeated.

At this moment, hearing Song Qingming's sound transmission, the tense look on True Person Guangling's face immediately relaxed, and he hurriedly used his natal magic treasure to block the "Liu Yunhe Demon King's" attack, and withdrew to the back.

On the other side, Zhang Rong also put away the magic treasure in front of him, and under the cover of the "Golden Illusion Butterflies," quickly withdrew from the battle and approached Song Qingming's side.

Facing the few Demon Kings pursuing together, Song Qingming first calmly poured the magic power in his body into his natal magic treasure, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror," forming a giant five-colored light mirror to block the "Flame Tiger Demon King" in front of him.

Subsequently, he took out a white jade ruler from his body. After activating it with spells, countless white silk threads immediately flew out from above the jade ruler and wove into a giant white net in front of Song Qingming, blocking the two attacks from the "Liu Yunhe Demon King" and "Silver Tail Demon King" that were attacking from the side.

Immediately after, Song Qingming immediately put away the magic treasures and spirit insects in front of him, released the "Phantom Boat" on his body, and brought "Jin Feng" beside him to escape backward rapidly, directly withdrawing from the battle.

Seeing that the three of Song Qingming had already boarded the flying boat and wanted to escape, the "Flame Tiger Demon King" and the other four Demon Kings immediately roared and chased up rapidly.

Those second-tier Foundation Establishment beasts in front that had pursued the flying boats to no avail and turned back, under the orders of the few Demon Kings, also desperately surrounded the "Phantom Boat," wanting to block their path.

However, these second-tier Foundation Establishment beasts in front did not gather into a group when they retreated, but were scattered in twos and threes, and did not bring much obstruction to Song Qingming and the few people, so they were easily rushed past.

Among the few Demon Kings in the rear, the only ones that could catch up to the speed of the "Phantom Boat" were the "Flame Tiger Demon King" and "Liu Yunhe Demon King" with higher cultivation.

Although these two Demon Kings chased all the way, they launched spell attacks several times wanting to force the "Phantom Boat" to stop, but the results were all blocked in advance by the magic treasures in the hands of the three of Song Qingming.

Finally, the "Flame Tiger Demon King," which had chased all the way, saw Song Qingming and the three people reunite with Song Xinyu and the others on the large flying boat in front, and could only roar fiercely before turning back and returning to "Mount Tuoyun."

Song Qingming and the others, who had finally shaken off the pursuit, saw that the "Flame Tiger Demon King" had finally given up the pursuit, and only then slowly breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this time we could be saved, it all relies on your merit, Fellow Daoist. Please accept a salute from me!" Just after escaping danger, Zhang Rong, who was standing on the "Phantom Boat" beside him, immediately bowed to Song Qingming's side.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also smiled, helped him up, and waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, your words are too serious. I came to rescue under the orders of the sect this time, and naturally should do my best.

That we could successfully rush out of the beast blockade just now is also the result of everyone's united will, not my merit alone. How would I dare to accept such a great salute from you, Fellow Daoist."

"Sigh! Who would have thought that there would still be beast reinforcements coming halfway? If it weren't for Junior Brother Song's extraordinary divine abilities, it would be difficult for us to retreat successfully today. Junior Brother Song also doesn't need to be overly modest."

True Person Guangling, who was still panting on the flying boat, thought of the thrilling battle with the beast side just now, and also bowed to Song Qingming with a grateful look on his face.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also returned the salute with a smile, and did not be overly modest anymore. In this battle, although they successfully rescued the many cultivators on "Mount Tuoyun" from the heavy encirclement of the beast army, along the way, Song Qingming and the others were also in dangerous situations. Facing the sudden beast reinforcements, they were even almost unable to complete this arduous mission.

Fortunately, the "Silver Tail Demon King" that came to reinforce on the beast side did not have very strong strength, added to the fact that the divine abilities and magic treasures on Song Qingming were quite powerful, and he alone contained several Demon Kings of the other side with all his might, only then allowing the Xiaoyao Sect crowd on the flying boats to successfully escape.

In the end, only one Foundation Establishment cultivator from "Mount Tuoyun" unfortunately died in battle on the spot when rushing through the beast army blockade just now. There were not too many casualties in the entire process of breaking out.

True Person Guangling and Zhang Rong, who personally experienced this battle, were naturally very clear about this, and the two of them were also because of this that they held a trace of gratitude toward Song Qingming.

After successfully retreating from "Mount Tuoyun" and shaking off the beast pursuit, Song Qingming brought the two large flying boats and traveled southeast all the way. After bypassing a few thousand-mile-long mountains, they successfully arrived at "Purple Star Workshop," which was located directly south of "Guiyun Workshop."

"Purple Star Workshop" was the throat location guarding the south from Guiyun Workshop to "Gao Yun County" of the Wei Kingdom.

A hundred years ago, after this place was raided and breached by the beast army moving south, it caused the northern "Gao Yun County" of the Wei Kingdom to suffer a slaughter by the beasts, causing a major loss of millions of mortal deaths and injuries.

Before this beast turmoil, the "Xiaoyao Sect," based on the abnormal changes in Mount Jinyu in the north before, also guessed in advance that this turmoil would be worse than the past. Therefore, they also paid relatively more attention to the defense of "Purple Star Workshop" here.

Before the battle, not only were a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators specially arranged to guard this place, but the workshop's mountain-protecting formation was also upgraded to third-tier low-quality, greatly improving the defensive strength of the entire "Purple Star Workshop."

With such defensive strength, even if one or two ordinary third-tier Demon Kings came to attack, it would be very difficult to break the "Purple Star Workshop" mountain-protecting formation in a short time.

"Purple Star Workshop" was relatively close to both Mount Guyang and Guiyun Workshop. Once any dangerous situation appeared, human cultivators from several places could timely support each other and send reinforcements.

Therefore, after Li Mufeng gave up the two defensive lines of "Mount Tuoyun" and "Mount Tiexian Castle," he chose to concentrate the remaining strength at "Purple Star Workshop" here, just to be able to better assist in guarding "Guiyun Workshop," this most important defensive line in the north of the Wei Kingdom.

After escorting the crowd from "Mount Tuoyun" to "Purple Star Workshop," Song Qingming soon received the transfer order sent by Bai Yuxian, and brought Song Xinyu and the dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators to hurry back to "Guiyun Workshop" for support.

Seeing Song Qingming bring True Person Guangling and the others out of "Mount Tuoyun" safely, Li Mufeng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and praised Song Qingming greatly in public.

After the "Mount Tuoyun" cultivators successfully evacuated, taking advantage of the fact that the beast army over there had not yet completed the encirclement moving south, Zhao Menglian also brought the many cultivators of "Mount Tiexian Castle" and actively evacuated from "Mount Tiexian Castle" by riding the sect's large flying boats.

In the beast army besieging "Mount Tiexian Castle," there were also quite a few Jin Dan Demon Kings and thousands of low-tier beasts.

In order to successfully cover the evacuation of the "Mount Tiexian Castle" cultivators, the Xiaoyao Sect side also used the sect's only third-tier puppet beast, the "Golden Wing Flying Tiger," and a portion of Foundation Establishment cultivators to go and meet Zhao Menglian and the others.

However, although there were people meeting them, the strength of the beast side was still much stronger than the Xiaoyao Sect side.

After a fierce battle, although the "Mount Tiexian Castle" cultivators successfully retreated, they also lost quite a few cultivators. Elder Zhao Menglian, who was at the sixth layer of Jin Dan, was unfortunately injured in the battle to cover the flying boats' retreat in order to contain the other side's Jin Dan Demon King.

After "Mount Tuoyun" and "Mount Tiexian Castle" fell one after another, the entire northwest of the Wei Kingdom had already fallen into the hands of the beast army.

Although the Xiaoyao Sect had already notified the nearby cultivation families and loose cultivators in the workshop to evacuate south in advance before breaking out.

But because the time was relatively rushed, there were still many cultivators and mortals who did not have time to evacuate, who were unfortunately bumped into by the beast army that came in pursuit, and became blood food in the mouths of the beasts. For a time, the entire northwest of the Wei Kingdom became a tragic place on earth.

What made the Xiaoyao Sect side somewhat surprised was that after the beast army occupied "Mount Tuoyun" and "Mount Tiexian Castle," they did not continue to move south deep into the hinterland of the Wei Kingdom as they had expected.

Instead, they led the army east to besiege "Guiyun Workshop" here, joined forces with the main beast army commanded by the Brother Molong Demon Emperor, and besieged "Guiyun Workshop" together.

This immediately made the pressure on "Guiyun Workshop" here increase sharply, and they could only constantly transfer cultivators from everywhere to go to the workshop here for support.

On a high mountain dozens of miles north of Guiyun Workshop, hearing the news reported by the few Demon Kings under his command that they had already occupied "Mount Tuoyun" and "Mount Tiexian Castle," the Brother Molong Demon Emperor, whose brows had not been relaxed for a long time, finally revealed a long-lost smile at this moment.

"Chen Chen Laozu, now in the north of the Wei Kingdom, besides us here, only Mount Jin Workshop in the east is still resisting. Now that we have obtained reinforcements from Mount Chiyun, we have already occupied an absolute advantage.

Do you think we should send more reinforcements over to occupy Mount Jin Workshop as well? This way, most of the north of the Wei Kingdom will fall into our hands, and the only place left for the Xiaoyao Sect to resist our demon army will be this place of Guiyun Workshop."

Seeing that his own Chen Chen Laozu was in a good mood today, the "Gao Jinhu Demon King" beside him immediately took the opportunity to open his mouth and put forward his own thoughts, wanting to make new contributions in front of the Brother Molong Demon Emperor.

Originally, according to their plan, Mount Jin Workshop only had Huang Siyuan, this one Jin Dan early-stage cultivator, guarding it, and the defensive strength of the Xiaoyao Sect here was not considered very strong.

The demon side sent two Demon Kings to reinforce, added to the "Blue Feather Demon King" who had been confronting Huang Siyuan for half a year, facing the siege of three Demon Kings, "Mount Jin Workshop" should have been taken down long ago at this moment.

It was just that the sudden appearance of Song Qingyu caused the two of them to find an opportunity to accidentally kill the "Blue Feather Demon King," making the human cultivators of "Mount Jin Workshop" defeat this beast army of the "Blue Feather Demon King" in advance before the beast reinforcements arrived.

After the "Golden Toad Demon King" and "Bai Lang Demon King" who came to support arrived at Mount Jin Workshop, because they lost the great help of the "Blue Feather Demon King," they also had no way to deal with the cultivator army guarding "Mount Jin Workshop."

After trying to attack the workshop several times, they were all repelled by Song Qingyu and the two people, and the strength of both sides reached a balance again, confronting each other at "Mount Jin Workshop."

The "Gao Jinhu Demon King" put forward the idea of supporting the attack on "Mount Jin Workshop" at this time. It also knew that the strength of the Xiaoyao Sect was now concentrated at "Guiyun Workshop" here, and they were already unable to support other places.

At this moment, on the demon side, as long as they sent one or two Demon Kings with stronger strength to "Mount Jin Workshop," defeating Song Qingyu and the others would definitely be an easy task. Taking advantage of the situation to take down this entire large piece of northeast Wei Kingdom, this credit would also not be small.

However, the "Gao Jinhu Demon King's" idea of wanting to make contributions did not immediately get the agreement of the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor" in front of him.

Only to see him shake his head slightly in front of all the demons and say: "Let's not worry about Mount Jin Workshop for now, as long as Bai Lang and the others can contain the cultivators over there, that will be enough.

Now that we have captured Mount Tuoyun and Mount Tiexian Castle one after another, presumably the Xiaoyao Sect should also have reacted by now. At this time, the reinforcements of human cultivators should already be on the way. I estimate that in about a month at most, they will arrive in the Wei Kingdom.

Now there is not much time left for us. We must concentrate all our strength to take down Guiyun Workshop during this period and defeat the Xiaoyao Sect in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, once the reinforcements of human cultivators from other places arrive, this matter will be somewhat troublesome.

As long as Guiyun Workshop is still in the hands of the Xiaoyao Sect, then we can occupy some advantages on the battlefield, and they will have the ability to counterattack our flanks at any time. Even if we occupy most of the north of the Wei Kingdom, sooner or later, we will still have to spit it out."

"Hehe! What Chen Chen Laozu Mo said is correct. Guiyun Workshop not only guards the north of the Wei Kingdom, but also has a teleportation array inside connecting to the rear of the Xiaoyao Sect.

If we don't take this place down first, we won't dare to rashly move south deep into the hinterland of the Wei Kingdom. Otherwise, we could be cut off from our retreat by those cunning human cultivators at any time and lose our lives here."

Just as the Brother Molong Demon King's voice fell, the "Canglong Demon King," who had just led the beast army to capture Mount Tiexian Castle and made a great contribution, hurriedly opened his mouth to echo.

Hearing the "Canglong Demon King" open his mouth to speak here, the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor" immediately nodded at him, and subsequently asked him again: "Now that Mount Tuoyun and Mount Tiexian Castle have both been taken down according to the plan, you should have notified Brother Chiyun of this matter!"

"Chen Chen Laozu Mo, please rest assured, I already sent a letter to Mount Chiyun yesterday. I estimate that in three to five days at most, Chen Chen Laozu will be able to rush to this place!"

"Good! Hahaha... as long as Brother Chiyun can rush here now, then we already have a ninety percent chance of success in this battle.

Pass my order, starting tomorrow, stop the attacks on the east and west sides first, only leave the army on the north side to continue attacking the workshop formation. In these few days, you all first rest and conserve your energy. When Brother Chiyun arrives, we will take down Guiyun Workshop in one fell swoop."

After obtaining the affirmative reply from the "Canglong Demon King," the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor" immediately laughed loudly and gave the order to prepare for the general attack on "Guiyun Workshop" to the Demon Kings present.

Now, although the strength of the beast army outside the workshop had already far exceeded the Xiaoyao Sect side guarding the workshop, there was still great difficulty in taking down "Guiyun Workshop" within a month.

But if a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor came to help at this time, for the beast army, the situation would be completely different.

Facing two Nascent Soul Demon Emperors, in front of such overwhelming strength, the "Xiaoyao Sect" side would absolutely be unable to hold on until the reinforcements from other places arrived. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 685 =====
