Chapter 686: Golden Mountain Market Predicament, Senior Sister is Here (Added update seeking monthly votes)

Pingyang County, northern Wei State, in the council hall of "Golden Mountain Market".

Song Qingyu, sitting alone in the council hall, held a letter she had just received not long ago, her eyes full of worry.

Not long after, Huang Siyuan, dressed in white, walked in from the door of the council hall. Seeing the letter in Song Qingyu's hand, she hurriedly asked with a smile: "Qingyu, I just heard Yuanli say that there is another letter from the sect, any good news?"

In the past half month, although Huang Siyuan and the others led the cultivator army to hold "Golden Mountain Market", they also received news of the fall of "Camel Cloud Mountain" and "Iron Immortal Fort" one after another.

Facing the sudden increase in troops by the demon side and the continuous deterioration of the war situation in the north of Wei State, they were also very much looking forward to the Carefree Sect side being able to wait for reinforcements soon and change the increasingly unfavorable battlefield situation for the human side.

Seeing Huang Siyuan with a trace of expectation on her face, Song Qingyu, holding the letter, sighed calmly, shook her head slightly, and replied: "If there was good news, I would have told you first.

This letter was sent by Seventh Brother himself. The demon beast armies of Camel Cloud Mountain and Iron Immortal Valley have all gone to Returning Cloud Market now. The pressure there is very great now. The sect asked me to take people to rush there to provide support as soon as possible.

Seventh Brother also said in the letter that it will take about a month for reinforcements from other places to arrive in our Wei State to provide support, so let the family prepare in advance. In case we can't hold Golden Mountain Market, let us all retreat to Funiu Mountain first."

"Want us to prepare to evacuate Golden Mountain Market, is that really what my husband said?" Hearing Song Qingyu say this, the trace of smile that had just hung on Huang Siyuan's face disappeared quickly along with the words she said.

Now the entire northwest of Wei State has fallen, and the northeast piece guarded by the Song family is still safe and sound, all thanks to the cultivator army of "Golden Mountain Market" desperately resisting the demon beast army here.

Both Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan knew clearly in their hearts what serious consequences it would bring to the human territory behind them once they chose to actively evacuate the market and let the demon beast army continue to move south.

Not to mention Pingyang County, which is closest to "Golden Mountain Market", even Qinghe County where the Song family is located, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the fate of being swept by the demon beast army. By then, I don't know how many lives in the northeast of Wei State will die in the mouths of demon beasts.

Huang Siyuan took the letter handed by Song Qingyu, looked at it carefully, and then was silent for a moment before raising her head and replying to Song Qingyu in front of her: "Even my husband has made such a bad plan, it seems that the situation at Returning Cloud Market is really very critical. Qingyu, you should hurry to Returning Cloud Market tomorrow.

With me here, it is not so easy for the demon beast army outside to break the market. I estimate that it should not be a big problem to hold on for another month waiting for reinforcements.

You can rest assured, if it is really impossible to continue to persist, I will not act rashly, and will definitely arrange for everyone to evacuate in advance. Now the situation at Returning Cloud Market is more dangerous, you should also pay more attention to your own safety."

Song Qingyu nodded immediately and responded: "Hmm! Sister-in-law, I am relieved with your words. The demon beast army will launch an attack in the next two days. I plan to leave after this battle.

This time we change an opponent. Sister-in-law, you help hold back the White Wolf Demon King, and I will deal with that Golden Toad. Let's see if we can find an opportunity to kill or injure this demon. If we can succeed, our hope of holding Golden Mountain Market will increase a bit."

"Alright then. Just follow your arrangement."

Half a month ago, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan joined forces to slay the "Blue Feather Demon King", thinking they could defeat the demon beast army besieging the market in one fell swoop, but they did not expect to run into the "Golden Toad Demon King" and "White Wolf Demon King" who suddenly came to support from the demon side.

The victory fruit that the cultivators of "Golden Mountain Market" had just obtained was also beaten back by these two sudden demon beast armies.

In the past half month, facing the fierce attack of the demon beast army, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan led the cultivator army of "Golden Mountain Market" and successfully held the market array, not letting the demon side advance a step or take any advantage.

However, the battlefield situation at "Golden Mountain Market" also fell into a deadlock because of this, and returned to the previous evenly matched and anxious state.

Although the demon side is stronger than the human cultivators in terms of overall strength because of the large number of low-level demon beasts, facing the "Golden Mountain Market" defenders with the help of the third-level protective mountain array, they have no particularly good way and dare not divide troops to move south at will.

"Golden Mountain Market" also has to rely on the "Golden Mountain Market" protective mountain array to hold on because the demon beast army occupies some advantages, and cannot repel the demon beast army besieging the market.

Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan and the two leading Demon Kings on the opposite side are also not much different in strength. After several previous confrontations, although Song Qingyu and the others can occasionally occupy a slight advantage, it is difficult to defeat the opponent and open the situation in a short time.

Both sides have been fighting very fiercely on the battlefield recently, but whether it is the human side or the demon side, they are now unable to open the situation and change the battlefield situation.

At this time, receiving the request for help from "Returning Cloud Market" again, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan also knew clearly in their hearts the dangerous situation of the entire war situation.

The demon side is now powerful, and although the Carefree Sect has paid all its efforts to resist, it is still not as good as the demon beast army that has arrived with reinforcements and is becoming stronger and stronger.

In less than half a month, "Camel Cloud Mountain" and "Iron Immortal Fort" fell into the hands of the enemy one after another. If it weren't for Song Qingyu coming out of seclusion in time to support, I am afraid that "Golden Mountain Market" would also be in danger of being broken by the demon beast army.

Just as Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were discussing how to deal with the demon beast army in the battle tomorrow, Song Yuanli, who had been guarding at the door, suddenly walked into the "Council Hall" and walked quickly to the two of them.

"Yuanli, is there any abnormal action by the demon beast army?" Seeing Song Yuanli who suddenly broke in, Song Qingyu, who thought the demon beast army was going to attack the city again, hurriedly asked.

Song Yuanli heard this and shook his head immediately and replied: "Reporting to the Great Aunt, the demon beast army has no action. It is Changze who came from home. He said he has something urgent to see you now."

"Changze? Didn't I let him guard Red Flame Market? Why did he come here now? Could it be that he and Yuxin had some trouble again?" Song Qingyu asked again with a confused face.

"It shouldn't be. I saw that he also brought a person with him. According to what he just said, it seems that he specifically brought this person to see the two of you Old Ancestors." Song Yuanli replied with an embarrassed face.

"Oh! Is it someone you haven't seen before?"

Song Yuanli shook his head and said: "This person looks very strange, not like a cultivator of our Wei State, and I can't see through his cultivation. I feel like he is a Core Formation senior."

"A strange Core Formation cultivator, could it be that fellow Daoist from the Heavenly Pill Alliance came to find you, sister-in-law?" Song Qingyu looked at Huang Siyuan beside her after hearing this, and her face also revealed a bit of unexpected joy.

Now the battlefield situation of "Golden Mountain Market" has fallen into a deadlock, and Song Qingyu is suffering from being unable to open the situation, worried that Huang Siyuan will be difficult to support the overall situation alone after she leaves.

A Core Formation cultivator suddenly visited. If Song Qingyu and the others could invite the other party to help deal with the demon beast army, maybe they could immediately reverse the battlefield situation and relieve the crisis they are currently facing.

If they have a chance to repel the demon beast army's fierce attack on the market in the next battle, Song Qingyu can also leave here with peace of mind and take people to support "Returning Cloud Market".

Hearing that it might be a strange Core Formation cultivator, Huang Siyuan was also surprised. After thinking for a while, she said calmly to the two people in front of her: "Alright! Qingyu, don't guess blindly here. Since the person is outside, let them come in quickly. We will know who they are looking for after one look!"

"Hmm! Yuanli, you go and invite people in first, and then arrange some tea and spirit fruits, don't neglect this fellow Daoist!"

After Song Yuanli bowed and responded, he turned and walked out immediately. Not long after, he brought Song Changze and a strange-looking man in black who was waiting outside the door in.

"Pay respects to the two Old Ancestors!"

After entering the door, Song Changze immediately stepped forward and bowed to Song Qingyu and the other, and then introduced the man in black beside him to the two, and also told them about the incident where he helped him repel the demon beast army attacking "Red Flame Market" before.

The man in black in front of him looked very strange. Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan exchanged glances, but neither of them saw the answer they wanted to know in the other's eyes, so they were somewhat surprised.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu sent Song Changze and the other away first, then bowed to the man in black who had not spoken since he came in with a smile and asked:

"This fellow Daoist, please forgive me for my rudeness. I don't know where we have met with you, can you remind us!"

The man in black looked at Song Qingyu, then at Huang Siyuan not far away, and was also surprised. After bowing back to Song Qingyu, he asked with some confusion:

"Didn't you say you brought me to find the Song family Old Ancestor? Where is Song Qingming? Is he not here?"

Hearing that the other party was looking for Song Qingming, Song Qingyu showed an expression of "so that's how it is" and hurriedly explained to him with a smile:

"So fellow Daoist is looking for Seventh Brother. No wonder we find you so strange. How can Changze be so reckless, not asking clearly before coming.

This fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand. Song Qingming is my elder brother. Usually, these juniors are used to calling us Old Ancestors. Changze must have mistakenly thought that you came to find me, so he brought you here in a hurry."

"Oh! No problem, it's also my fault for being a bit anxious at the time and not explaining clearly. I don't know where Fellow Daoist Song is now. I have something to find him. Can the two of you conveniently take me to see him?"

The man in black sighed softly after listening to Song Qingyu's explanation, and then said his purpose for this trip. "Seventh Brother is not here now. The two of us need to guard the market now, and it is not convenient to take you to see him immediately. I don't know what to call this fellow Daoist, and what urgent matter you have to find him, can you tell us? I will convey it to him for you first.

Fellow Daoist, rest assured, Song Qingming is my elder brother, and this is his Dao companion. Both of us are people close to him." After Song Qingyu finished speaking, she looked at the other party again, waiting for the man in black's answer.

After Song Qingming formed the Core, he not only traveled in the "Donghuang State" immortal cultivation world for many years, but also traveled in the "East Sea immortal cultivation world" and near the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. It is not strange to know a few strange Core Formation cultivators.

It's just that the man in black's figure, appearance, and tone of voice made Song Qingyu feel a bit strange, so she asked a few more questions with some worry, wanting to figure out the purpose of the other party looking for Song Qingming first.

After listening to Song Qingyu's introduction, the man in black re-examined her and Huang Siyuan before slowly saying: "You are Fellow Daoist Qingyu, right? I have heard Fellow Daoist Song mention you before.

I am Li Xuan, a good friend who has known Fellow Daoist Song for many years. I came to find him this time to ask him for a favor, but it is not convenient to tell you about this. Can you tell me where Fellow Daoist Song is? I will go find him myself, so I won't trouble you."

Song Qingyu smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. It's not that we don't want to tell you. Fellow Daoist Li, you must be very clear about coming all the way here. Our Wei State is suffering from demon beast turmoil, and everywhere is being attacked by demon beast armies, which is very dangerous.

The place where Seventh Brother is now is heavily besieged by the demon beast army. Although you are a Core Formation cultivator, it is impossible to pass through the blockade of the demon beast army alone. You can only go to Ancient Yang Mountain and take the sect's teleportation array to arrive.

However, the battlefield situation is very difficult now, and the sect's guard on the teleportation array is very strict. It is definitely impossible for ordinary outsiders to use the teleportation, and we need sect elders like us to lead the way."

"So, I can't see Fellow Daoist Song now!"

Seeing that the other party seemed a bit discouraged because he couldn't see Song Qingming now, Song Qingyu hurriedly explained with a smile:

"That's not the case. I happen to be taking people to Returning Cloud Market to provide support in two days. If Fellow Daoist Li is not in a hurry, you can stay here and wait for me for two days. When the time comes, I will take you to Returning Cloud Market together, and you will be able to see Seventh Brother."

However, you have been deliberately concealing your identity since you arrived today, which still makes me a bit uneasy. Before that, can Fellow Daoist Li give me another proof that you really know Seventh Brother, so that it will be convenient for me to explain to the sect after I take you to Ancient Yang Mountain."

After speaking, Song Qingyu looked at "Li Xuan" closely, waiting for the other party's answer with a very calm face.

Suddenly hearing Song Qingyu say that "Li Xuan" had deliberately concealed his face, Huang Siyuan, who was standing on the side, also had a bit more vigilance in her eyes, and was equally curious about the other party's purpose for doing so.

"Except for Nascent Soul cultivators, very few people can see through this magic treasure of mine so quickly. I heard Fellow Daoist Song say before that you are also a smart and clever person. I didn't expect you to really surprise me."

The voice of "Li Xuan" changed, and then he raised his hand and wiped it above his forehead, taking down a purple bead magic treasure from it.

At the same time, "Li Xuan"'s figure and appearance also changed, from a very ordinary-looking man in black to a young woman with a beautiful and dignified appearance, restoring her original appearance.

Seeing the other party's true identity, it turned out to be a young woman dressed as a man, Song Qingyu's face did not show any surprise.

As early as many years ago, when Song Qingyu traveled alone, she had many experiences of pretending to be a man for the convenience of walking outside.

However, after all, she was a daughter, no matter how many times she pretended to be a man outside, she would occasionally have some of her own inadvertent actions, making people with ulterior motives feel abnormal.

The reason why Song Qingyu was able to see through "Li Xuan"'s concealment of her true face so quickly just now was also because of this experience of hers, which made her very familiar with some of "Li Xuan"'s actions and tone of voice, which allowed her to slowly see some clues.

This woman who called herself "Li Xuan" was Li Xuanyi, who followed Song Qingming to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range immortal cultivation world more than half a year ago and then went to the "East Sea immortal cultivation world" alone.

"To be ashamed, I have known Fellow Daoist Song for a long time, and he hasn't given me anything good. I don't know if this thing can prove in front of you that I really know Fellow Daoist Song!"

After revealing her true identity in front of Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, Li Xuanyi said calmly and gently raised her hand again, and soon a group of green spirit light appeared out of thin air in her hand.

"This is the Jade Profound Scripture cultivation technique, are you a fellow disciple of Seventh Brother?"

Seeing the green spirit light in Li Xuanyi's hand, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who were already very familiar with Song Qingming's cultivation of this technique, recognized it immediately, and their faces also revealed a look of shock.

"Hmm! Since you recognize this, then things are easy to explain. To tell you the truth, I entered the sect earlier than Junior Brother Song, and I am considered his fellow disciple.

It's just that the sect has an order not to let us disciples reveal our identities at will outside. You just need to know these things, don't ask me about other things. Now you should be able to believe what I said!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, no, Senior Sister, recently because of the invasion of demon beasts from the northern border, there are wars everywhere in the sect. We are also worried that people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to infiltrate the sect. I hope Senior Sister will not blame us for our rudeness just now."

After confirming Li Xuanyi's identity, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan looked at each other, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize with a trace of apology.

Although the Jade Profound Scripture cultivation technique deduced by Li Xuanyi was a little different from Song Qingming's "Green Jade Refining Treasure Decision", the "Jade Profound Scripture" spirit energy carried on it was still easy to distinguish from other similar cultivation techniques.

And when Song Qingming came back before, he also told the two women about his search for follow-up cultivation techniques in the "Donghuang State" immortal cultivation world and joining a sect.

Although Song Qingming did not mention "Grand Void Gate" in detail to Song Qingyu and the other because of the sect rules at the time, he also said that he was deducing the follow-up cultivation technique of the "Jade Profound Scripture" there.

Now seeing Li Xuanyi also possessing the "Jade Profound Scripture" cultivation technique, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan naturally believed the other party's identity immediately and followed Song Qingming to call the other party Senior Sister.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi hurriedly smiled and waved her hand: "You are all people close to Junior Brother Song, so there is no need to be so polite. I came to find Junior Brother Song this time to ask him for a favor for some personal matters. Please trouble you to take me to see him in a few days.

Also, don't reveal the relationship between me and Junior Brother Song in front of outsiders in the future. Just say that I am a good friend I met in Donghuang State. I hope you can help cover it up."

"Senior Sister Li, rest assured, we have kept this in mind. Senior Sister, you have come from afar and it is hard work. Now that Seventh Brother is not here, if we don't entertain you well, I am afraid that when we see him in a few days, he will blame us for not knowing the etiquette.

I have already asked people to prepare good spirit tea, please follow us to the cave dwelling to taste tea and rest for a while." Song Qingyu nodded slightly and responded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Li Xuanyi with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite, and I will disturb you for a few days first!"

After revealing her true identity to Song Qingyu and the other, Li Xuanyi soon opened up, nodded and agreed with a smile. Soon, the three of them, under the leadership of Song Qingyu, came to a quiet cave dwelling on the west side of the market.

Knowing the relationship between Li Xuanyi and Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan also showed great respect to her. The words "Senior Sister" were called out, which made Li Xuanyi, who was younger, feel quite happy, and soon she became familiar with the two women.

Huang Siyuan personally cooked a pot of high-level spirit tea that she had brought from the "East Sea immortal cultivation world" a few years ago for Li Xuanyi.

Li Xuanyi, who had traveled abroad and tasted many delicious spirit teas, couldn't help but praise Huang Siyuan's tea-cooking skills after drinking it.

"Senior Sister Li, Sister-in-law Siyuan is not only good at tea-cooking skills, but her spirit cooking skills are also well-known far and near. It's a pity that because of the demon beast turmoil recently, she has been busy dealing with the demon beast army moving south all day, and I haven't tasted Sister-in-law's craft for a long time."

"Is that so? Then when there is a chance another day, I must also taste Fellow Daoist Siyuan's craft."

Hearing Song Qingyu praise Huang Siyuan to her face, and there was still a trace of aftertaste in her words, Li Xuanyi, who was also more interested in delicious spirit food, couldn't help but show a trace of curiosity on her face.

Seeing that both of them looked at her, Huang Siyuan, who was holding the teapot, hurriedly said modestly: "Senior Sister, don't listen to Qingyu's nonsense. I only know a little about spirit cooking skills, not as powerful as she said.

However, since Senior Sister has come from afar, no matter what, I have to fulfill the duty of a landlord for my husband. There are still some spirit fish in the market's treasury. Tomorrow I will ask someone to take some to make a few signature dishes for you.

In the past few years, I have mainly practiced the way of alchemy, and my spirit cooking skills have become a bit rusty. I hope Senior Sister Li will not dislike it."

"Hehe! That's great, I have benefited from Senior Sister!" Before Li Xuanyi could reply, Song Qingyu, who had been greedy for a long time, hurriedly nodded happily.

Just as the three were chatting in the cave dwelling, the array at the door of the cave dwelling suddenly fluctuated, and then a white sound transmission talisman flew in from the outside and fell into Song Qingyu's hand.

"Qingyu, is the demon beast army attacking the market again?"
