Chapter 694: People have their own destiny, Two Instruments Heaven Star Pearl (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Witnessing this somewhat astonishing scene, Song Qingming and others not far away cast looks of praise toward Li Xuanyi, who had just displayed her great power.

Unexpectedly, in the unfavorable situation where their side was weak and the demon beast side was strong, Li Xuanyi was able to find an opportunity to kill a Golden Core demon king on the opposite side, taking the lead in establishing military merit for the human cultivators on their side.

This move added quite a bit of morale to the people who were still struggling with the demon beast side.

After Li Xuanyi killed the "Black Bull Demon King," she quickly took out the life-bound inner core from the demon king’s corpse, and then intensified the siege on another mid-stage Golden Core demon king who was entangled with her "corpse puppet."

The strength of this mid-stage Golden Core "Fire Fox Demon King" was not much different from the "White Wolf Demon King" that Li Xuanyi fought at "Golden Mountain Market," and it was not a powerful mid-stage Golden Core demon king either.

At this moment, the "Black Bull Demon King" had already fallen. The "Fire Fox Demon King," facing the siege of Li Xuanyi and a mid-stage Golden Core "corpse puppet" alone, instantly fell into a disadvantage, was beaten back steadily, and hurriedly asked other demon kings on the side for help.

Seeing this situation, the demon beast side immediately divided another powerful "Flame Tiger Demon King" to come to support, which curbed Li Xuanyi’s momentum of attack.

However, in this way, the pressure on other human cultivators who were at a disadvantage was reduced a bit, and both sides stabilized the situation on the battlefield again.

This great battle between tens of thousands of human cultivators and demon beasts lasted from the afternoon until dusk. The killing sound on the entire battlefield did not stop until both sides sounded the retreat when the sky was late, and the battlefield gradually became quiet.

Outside "Returning Cloud Market," thousands of corpses had been left at this time, and the fresh blood dyed the entire earth red. The cultivators standing above the market city wall were already calm at this time, accustomed to such bloody scenes.

The sky was late. Song Qingming, who returned to the cave dwelling, handed a high-level healing elixir he had just received from the market treasury to Huang Siyuan, and then walked out of the cave dwelling to the place where Song Qingyu was beside.

"Qingyu, how is Yuanhao’s injury? Have you received the healing object for him?"

Hearing Song Qingming’s slightly anxious question, Song Qingyu, who had also just returned to the cave dwelling, hurriedly nodded and responded, "Seventh Brother, don't worry! I have checked his injury. It is only a flesh wound, and the meridians in his body are not damaged. I have also taken him to receive the healing elixir. After resting for a period of time, there should be no big problem!"

Hearing Song Qingyu’s answer, Song Qingming felt relieved and nodded slightly.

"That’s good. Turn back and tell Yuanhao to stay in the cave dwelling to close seclusion first, and there is no need to fight tomorrow. I will go to help him greet Senior Sister Xu.

Today has already suffered heavy losses. Tomorrow’s battle is likely to be more dangerous. Xuanting and the others should also be warned. Everyone must pay attention to their own safety tomorrow. They are all people with excellent cultivation talent among the younger generation of the family. Don't let them all be lost here."

In this support operation for "Returning Cloud Market," the Song family sent many cultivators, and several Foundation Establishment elders of the family, such as Song Yuanhao, also came here.

In the battle that just passed during the day, the Song family had more than a dozen casualties, and even Huang Siyuan and Song Yuanhao were injured in the battle.

Huang Siyuan’s situation was slightly better. With Song Qingming taking care of her, she only suffered damage to her vitality. Song Yuanhao was more seriously injured, being pierced through the abdomen by a peak Foundation Establishment demon beast, and almost even his intestines were exposed on the spot.

Fortunately, his head was still flexible, and he retreated to the market array in time to heal, which did not make his injury continue to worsen.

Although the damage to the flesh of Foundation Establishment cultivators is not a very serious injury, and they will recover soon after taking the healing elixir, for the sake of stability, Song Qingming still decided not to let Song Yuanhao continue to participate in tomorrow’s battle.

Song Yuanhao was gifted by nature, and now his cultivation is close to the late Foundation Establishment stage. The chance of forming a core in the future is quite large. If he participates in the war rashly and causes the injury to worsen, it may affect his future cultivation path. Once this happens, the gain will not be worth the loss.

Previously, Song Yuanli was seriously injured in the battle of "Golden Mountain Market," and it is unknown when he will recover. Song Qingming is now really worried about Song Yuanhao’s safety.

Once these talented juniors are delayed by the war, I am afraid that the family will have a generation gap in talents in the future, which is extremely unfavorable to the future development of the Song family.

Seeing Song Qingming so worried about Song Yuanhao’s injury, Song Qingyu recalled the clansmen who were injured and died in the battle at "Golden Mountain Market" before, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Seventh Brother, it’s all my fault for not looking after Yuanli and Changlin and the others. Many clansmen died tragically at the hands of demon beasts, but I could only watch helplessly. If I could be stronger and repel the demon beast’s attack earlier, perhaps they would all have a chance to survive."

"Qingyu, people have their own destiny. Some things have long been destined by heaven. Although you and I are people who practice Dao, we cannot change the destiny of everyone around us. Don't blame yourself for this.

I have been the patriarch for many years, watching Sixth Uncle, Thirteenth Uncle, Big Brother, Second Sister, and the others leave me one after another. How could I not want them all to succeed in Foundation Establishment and Core Formation and move forward with us?

But the road of practicing Dao, how can everything go as planned? Many things are not what we can change if we want to. Perhaps many clansmen will leave us in the future, but these will not stop you and me from guarding the steps of the family moving forward.

I firmly believe that as long as we are still here, the family will gradually prosper and grow. The sacrifices of our predecessors generation after generation, as long as they can exchange for a better cultivation environment for the descendants of the family, it is always worth it."

"Seventh Brother! I know what you said is reasonable, but every time I think of Changlin and the others, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. This demon beast turmoil that happens once every hundred years is becoming more and more dangerous, and I don't know if the family can safely survive it in the future."

When Song Qingyu said this, she couldn't help but shed a few tears that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

Even if she was strong enough in front of others, but facing Song Qingming, this elder brother, Song Qingyu was always unable to completely control her emotions.

Seeing this, Song Qingming took the initiative to step forward and gently hold her shoulders, comforting her: "Don't worry! I am still here. These bad things will always pass!"

They were born in the turbulent Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world, and the Song family could not avoid the demon beast turmoil after all. Both Song Qingyu and Song Qingming knew this very well in their hearts.

The demon beast turmoil that happens once every hundred years in the Fuyun Mountain Range, since Song Qingming practiced Dao for more than two hundred years, counting this turmoil, it was the third demon beast turmoil he had encountered.

In the previous two demon beast turmoils, although the process had some twists and turns and sacrificed many clansmen, it was finally safe and sound, leading the family through this disaster that happens once every hundred years.

However, this demon beast turmoil was obviously more dangerous than the previous two. The great battle with the demon beasts had been fought for more than half a year. To be honest, Song Qingming did not have full confidence in whether the family could successfully survive this disaster, and often worried about this matter.

Although because of Li Xuanyi’s unexpected appearance, helping Song Qingyu and the others lift the siege of "Golden Mountain Market," the northeast area of Song Guo controlled by the Song family is currently safe and has not appeared other dangerous situations.

But in the entire northern battlefield of Song Guo, the demon beast army still occupies a great advantage. Both "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Iron Immortal Castle" have fallen.

If the sect cannot hold "Returning Cloud Market," the most important defensive line in the north of Song Guo, then the demon beast army will drive straight in and will soon sweep the entire north of Song Guo. The Qinghe County where the Song family is located will definitely not be spared.

At that time, the entire ancestral vein of Mount Funiu will fall into the hands of the demon beast army. Even if the Song family can withdraw the cultivators on the mountain, it will be difficult to take away all the mortals under the mountain.

If the family mortals are lost in the turmoil, the future development of the Song family will inevitably be deeply affected. I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover its vitality within a hundred years.

In addition to this, the family’s level-three spirit mountain and the many industries such as mines and markets that have been operated for many years will all be lost.

Once these many industries that the Song family relies on for survival are lost, where will the Song family go in the future and how to maintain the livelihood of many clansmen will be a huge problem for the family.

"By the way! Seventh Brother, how is Sister-in-law’s situation?" After being sad for a while, Song Qingyu remembered Huang Siyuan’s injury and hurriedly asked Song Qingming.

Song Qingming heard this and nodded directly, "Siyuan only suffered damage to her vitality in her body, and there is no big problem. She has taken the healing elixir, and she will be almost recovered tomorrow!

Qingyu, the demon beast army did not take much advantage today. Tomorrow’s battle situation is likely to be more dangerous. You must also be careful and try not to be too far away from me."

In the battle during the day, although their Golden Core cultivators fought fiercely, both sides did not take much advantage and did not have too many casualties.

The demon beast side lost a "Black Bull Demon King." On the human cultivator side, except for Huang Siyuan who was slightly injured, several people including Chu Fengping and Hu Qingyun were injured to varying degrees.

Among them, Hu Qingyun was the most seriously injured. One arm was torn off by a demon king, and he barely escaped back to the mountain-protecting array to save his life. He could not play in the next great battle.

It was Li Xuanyi’s performance that made the "Carefree Sect" crowd feel quite surprised. After the war, Sect Master Bai Yuxian personally visited to congratulate her and gave Li Xuanyi many spiritual objects as a reward.

After resting for a night, early the next morning, the sky was just bright, and there were bursts of violent roaring sounds outside, and the demon beast army attacked the market array again.

The human side wanted to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and the demon side also knew this situation. If the war was delayed for too long, the "Carefree Sect" might invite more reinforcements, which would only be more and more unfavorable to them.

Therefore, the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" and the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" knew very well that this was the best time to conquer "Returning Cloud Market."

"Fellow Daoists, the reinforcements of the Heavenly Extreme Sect are on the way. We only need to hold on for at most two more days to counterattack the demon beast army and lift the current predicament of Returning Cloud Market. I hope everyone will work together to help our sect block the attack of the demon beast army."

After simply encouraging morale before the war, the same as yesterday, Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian and others took the lead to step forward to contain the two Nascent Soul demon emperors, Ink Dragon and Red Cloud, in the demon beast army.

Song Qingming and other Golden Core cultivators rushed out of the array to fight with the demon king army. The low-level cultivators of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining below also soon fought with the demon beast army. The opponents of both sides were roughly the same as yesterday. It’s just that this time, the demon beast side obviously paid attention to Li Xuanyi, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator with some strength, and sent a late-stage Golden Core great demon king with extraordinary strength to deal with her, who only had the cultivation of the fifth level of Golden Core.

Although Li Xuanyi’s fighting ability is strong, her cultivation is only at the peak of the fifth level of Golden Core after all, and the gap with the other party is very obvious.

At this moment, facing a late-stage Golden Core great demon king, even with a mid-stage Golden Core "corpse puppet" to assist, she was also a bit strenuous and could only barely cope, gradually falling into a disadvantage in the battle, not as easy as fighting yesterday.

Song Qingming was the same as before, while desperately dealing with the "Giant Elephant Demon King," while taking care of Huang Siyuan, who was weak in strength near the battlefield.

Only Song Qingyu fought relatively easily here. Facing a mid-stage Golden Core demon king whose cultivation was obviously higher than her own, Song Qingyu was not suppressed by that demon king, but because the cultivation technique restrained the opponent, she occupied quite a bit of advantage after a fierce battle.

Although the opponents of these Golden Core cultivators were not much different from yesterday, this time after the war started, many demon kings on the demon beast side obviously fought much more desperately than before.

After fighting for only half an hour, Zhao Menglian, who was responsible for containing a late-stage Golden Core great demon king of the other side, was slapped away by the opponent’s claw and was injured and retreated to the market array on the spot.

Zhao Menglian was accidentally injured when withdrawing from "Iron Immortal Castle" before, and her old injury had not fully healed. This time, she added a new injury, and the situation was really not very optimistic.

However, at the moment, it was a critical battle of the sect. These sect elders could not withdraw from the battle at will and transfer the pressure on the battlefield to others.

Even if Zhao Menglian had some injuries, after a little rest, she could only bite the bullet and fly out of the mountain-protecting array to continue to contain the opponent.

Other "Carefree Sect" elders were also the same. Chu Fengping and True Person Guangling also had many injuries on their bodies in the array yesterday. Although they were firmly suppressed by their opponents as soon as they played, they still gritted their teeth and insisted on staying on the battlefield.

Even if they could no longer contend with their opponents head-on, they had to try their best to contain their opponents as much as possible, so that these demon kings would not have too many opportunities to besiege other teammates and attack the market array behind them.

The battle of the Golden Core cultivators below was getting more and more intense, and the Nascent Soul cultivators fighting above were also the same.

The "Red Cloud Demon Emperor," who was contained by Bai Yuxian and others for a day yesterday, had already held a breath in his heart when he fought again today, and had already lost the arrogance and contempt of yesterday.

As soon as they fought this time, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" exerted all his supernatural powers, which brought quite a bit of pressure to the "Carefree Sect" crowd from the beginning.

Bai Yuxian and others saw this and also exerted all their magic power, urging the diamond phantom transformed by the "Diamond Heaven Net Great Array" to resist the opponent’s fierce attack.

The "Diamond Heaven Net Array" is a treasure of the sect left by the founding ancestors of the "Carefree Sect." Under the urging of four late-stage Golden Core cultivators, it can contend with an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

In the thousands of years since the establishment of the sect, the "Carefree Sect" has relied on this array to survive several sect crises. This time, facing such a dangerous demon beast turmoil, Bai Yuxian and others also knew the importance of their containment of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" in this battle.

Those low-level demon beasts or Golden Core demon kings fighting below, even if the human cultivator side is at a disadvantage, even if some demon beasts attack the mountain-protecting array, it is difficult to break the array in a short time and will not have much impact on the entire battle situation.

But if they cannot contain the opponent "Red Cloud Demon Emperor," and let this Nascent Soul demon emperor free up his hands, the impact on the battlefield below will be unimaginable, and it is possible for the demon beast side to win the entire battle in a short time.

Once "Returning Cloud Market" falls into the hands of the enemy, the huge price and sacrifice paid by the sect in the past half year will be abandoned and turned into nothing.

Therefore, facing the fierce attack of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor," Bai Yuxian and others were under great pressure at this moment and could only try their best to contain the other party, so that the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" would not have the opportunity to leave the battlefield.

After fighting fiercely for more than an hour, seeing that he still couldn't take down the opponent and couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the "Diamond Heaven Net Array," the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" also became a bit anxious in his heart.

Before the war, the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" had already told him that the demon clan army was powerful now, and it was the best time to conquer "Returning Cloud Market." He must find a way to open the situation from his side as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the time is delayed for too long, and the "Carefree Sect" waits for reinforcements from other places, the strength between the two sides will soon be leveled. At that time, wanting to conquer "Returning Cloud Market" will not be as easy as it is now.

Seeing the diamond phantom that had just been forced back by him, under the control of Bai Yuxian and others, stopped its figure again and quickly attacked him, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" flashed a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Humph! I don't have time to continue entangled here. You guys just stay here honestly!"

Facing the desperate entanglement of Bai Yuxian and others, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" muttered to himself, and a trace of decisiveness appeared on his face at this time.

After the diamond phantom approached, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" suddenly raised his hand and sacrificed two black and white round ball magic treasures. Under his control, this magic treasure spun rapidly, attracting the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy.

The diamond phantom controlled by Bai Yuxian and others had just arrived beside the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" when it was tightly adsorbed by this magic treasure along with the figures of the few of them by the huge suction force formed by the black and white round ball magic treasure.

"Hehe! These Two Instruments Heaven Star Pearls were specially prepared for you by me borrowing from Brother Ink Dragon today. Everyone just stay here honestly for a while."

Seeing Bai Yuxian and others desperately urging the "Diamond Heaven Net Great Array," but unable to get rid of the huge suction force of the "Two Instruments Heaven Star Pearl" for a while, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" showed a few proud light smiles on his face.

Fighting with them yesterday, although he occupied some advantages, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of Bai Yuxian and others.

Therefore, after going back, he discussed with the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" and borrowed the "Two Instruments Heaven Star Pearl," this heavy treasure, from his hand to deal with Bai Yuxian and others’ "Diamond Heaven Net Great Array."

Bai Yuxian and others did not see him use this magic treasure when they fought with the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" yesterday, so they were a bit careless when they fought just now, which was why they were trapped in place by the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" using the "Two Instruments Heaven Star Pearl."

"Not good! Quickly find a way to get out of trouble, otherwise, if the Red Cloud Demon Emperor attacks the mountain-protecting array, the mountain-protecting array will not last long."

Seeing the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" laugh proudly, turn around and go to the bottom, Bai Yuxian and others felt extremely anxious in their hearts.

It’s just that this "Two Instruments Heaven Star Pearl" magic treasure is a heavy treasure of the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor."

Once an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator is trapped by this treasure, it is difficult to break free in a short time. Bai Yuxian and others, even if they desperately urge the "Diamond Heaven Net Great Array," still cannot move a bit, and can only watch the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" leave proudly.

After coming to the sky above the battlefield below, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" ignored the many cultivators and demon beast armies fighting, and came directly above the mountain-protecting array of "Returning Cloud Market."

The "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" with a serious face stretched out his hands to gather a large group of magic power and hit the mountain-protecting array below with a desperate blow, which soon made this mountain-protecting array, which was already a bit fragile, tremble violently.

"Boom!"

The violent roaring sound coming from the mountain-protecting array behind soon alarmed the many cultivators and demon beast armies fighting, and everyone’s eyes looked at the sky above the mountain-protecting array involuntarily.

"It’s the Red Cloud Demon Emperor, terrible, the mountain-protecting array is about to be unable to support!"

Seeing the figure of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" in the distance, Song Qingming and others’ faces changed, showing a few shocks, not expecting that this Nascent Soul demon emperor had already gotten rid of the entanglement of the "Diamond Heaven Net Great Array" and came to attack the market mountain-protecting array.

The mountain-protecting array of "Returning Cloud Market," after being attacked by the demon beast army for days, was already very fragile, and its power only remained at three or four percent.

Just now, the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" only hit it once, and the spiritual light of the market array had dimmed a lot. If the other party was allowed to attack the mountain-protecting array so unscrupulously, I am afraid that in at most a quarter of an hour, the array would face collapse.

Once the mountain-protecting array is breached by the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor," the "Carefree Sect" side will have no danger to defend, and the next "Returning Cloud Market" will inevitably fall into the hands of the demon beasts quickly.

Relying on the mountain-protecting array of "Returning Cloud Market," the human cultivator side fought so hard. If they were fighting with the powerful demon beast army in the wild, the result of this war can be imagined, and the human side has no chance of winning.

Seeing the figure of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" suddenly appear in the sky above, attacking the mountain-protecting array, the many cultivators in the market who controlled the defensive magic tools hurriedly turned the direction of attack and launched an attack on the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" in the sky, trying to stop the other party from attacking the mountain-protecting array.

However, these level-two, level-three "Flying Cloud Crossbows" and "Spirit Light Giant Cannons" have some effect on ordinary demon beasts and demon kings, but in front of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor," this powerful Nascent Soul demon emperor, they seem to be dwarfed.

The "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" standing in place, facing these swarming attacks, just raised his hand to release a body-protecting spiritual light, and easily resisted them, and gathered a group of extraordinary magic power round balls in his hands again.

"Demon Emperor, don't be so rampant!"

Just when the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" was preparing to attack the mountain-protecting array below again, a figure suddenly killed out from the mountain-protecting array below, and came to the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" under the cover of the surrounding attacks.

This person is True Person Guangling, who had just fought with the demon king, was not the enemy of the opponent, and had retreated to the mountain-protecting array to rest in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
