Chapter 820: Cease Fighting and Make Peace, The Great Battle Ends

One hour later, above "Nanyue Market."

This great battle had been fought until now, and besides the many Jin Dan cultivators in the high sky, the low-tier Foundation Establishment and Qi Mount Mount Lianhua cultivators below had all suffered many casualties, and hundreds of cultivator corpses that had lost their breath had appeared on the battlefield.

In mid-air, Linghu Jie and the Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Gu, who were fighting with Song Qingming, were also unable to support themselves as they could only passively defend against the fierce attacks of Song Qingming and "Jin Feng."

After a loud "bang," the golden copper bell in front of Linghu Jie suddenly revealed a crack under Song Qingming's repeated attacks, and then the shield transformed by the copper bell immediately shattered in front of him.

Seeing that the strongest defensive magic treasure on his body was broken by Song Qingming's attack, Linghu Jie was also shocked in his heart, and could only take out a defensive spirit talisman to block in front of him, barely blocking the giant axe in "Jin Feng's" hand that followed.

Subsequently, before Song Qingming's next attack arrived, Linghu Jie immediately retreated to the side and hurriedly cast a spell to urge the black eagle puppet beast behind him to step forward to block the other party.

Under the fierce strike of Song Qingming's "Golden Radiance Treasure Ring," unexpectedly, this third-tier low-quality puppet beast only resisted for a moment before being directly destroyed by Song Qingming on the spot.

Then it turned back into a black wooden block the size of a palm and fell directly from the high sky.

The third-tier low-quality puppet beast behind him was destroyed by Song Qingming in one strike, and the "Three Talents Magic Array" deployed by Linghu Jie and the Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Lu immediately lost its effect, forcing them to deal with Song Qingming and "Jin Feng's" attacks alone. Whether it was Linghu Jie or the cultivator surnamed Lu, without the support of the "Three Talents Magic Array," their fighting strength was clearly not the opponent of Song Qingming and "Jin Feng."

After fighting for only dozens of rounds, the two of them felt that they couldn't support it, and they all began to transmit sound to the surroundings for help.

"Senior Brother Linghu, save me!"

Hearing the Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Lu beside him asking for help, Linghu Jie, who was forced to retreat repeatedly by Song Qingming, also didn't pay attention to the other party and could only transmit sound to Sect Master Yue Wuji not far away.

"Sect Master Senior Brother, I can't hold on here anymore, make a decision quickly!"

Just after Linghu Jie finished speaking, the Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Lu was shaken flying by an axe from "Jin Feng" controlled by Song Qingming. He couldn't even stand steadily, and after a scream, he almost fell from the sky.

Seeing that Linghu Jie and the two were unable to support, the many "Jiuyuan Sect" cultivators on the battlefield below also failed to open up the battlefield situation for a long time, and Yue Wuji, as the Sect Master of the "Jiuyuan Sect," also felt a bit anxious in his heart.

A moment later, Yue Wuji had a bit more determination in his eyes. After blocking Chen Xuanxin's attack with his magic treasure, he directly shook off the other party and leaned toward Linghu Jie and the two.

"Your opponent is me, where are you going!"

Seeing that the other party wanted to intervene in the battle of others while fighting with him, Chen Xuanxin showed a hint of displeasure on his face and controlled the flying sword magic treasure in his hand to chase behind the other party.

Just after Chen Xuanxin's flying sword magic treasure chased behind him, Yue Wuji didn't choose to cast a spell to block the danger close at hand after turning around, but instead took out a golden spirit talisman and cast a spell to transform it into a sharp sword and threw it toward Chen Xuanxin in mid-air.

"This is... a fourth-tier spirit talisman!"

The golden spirit talisman taken out by Yue Wuji was a fourth-tier low-quality spirit talisman given to him by the "Jiuyuan Sect" Supreme Elder Wu Jiuyuan as a trump card, and its power even exceeded that of general magic treasures of the same tier.

Just as it appeared, the powerful momentum emitted from the golden spirit talisman had already attracted the attention of many cultivators around, and they all revealed a hint of surprise.

In this kind of Jin Dan level battlefield, spirit items above the fourth tier were very rare. Although Chen Xuanxin was prepared, he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly take out such a powerful fourth-tier spirit talisman.

At this critical moment, Chen Xuanxin could only desperately urge his natal flying sword to block in front of him, instantly colliding with the spirit talisman released by the other party.

This attack was very powerful, and the aftermath alone shook the few cultivators closest to the middle back several feet away.

And Chen Xuanxin, who was at the center of the battlefield, although he forcibly took this strike from the other party, his natal flying sword was also knocked flying and appeared with several huge cracks.

His natal magic treasure was seriously damaged, and Chen Xuanxin was also not feeling well. On the spot, he was also directly shaken flying and spat out several mouthfuls of blood, clearly suffering heavy injuries in this strike just now.

However, in order to launch this sudden attack, Yue Wuji also failed to completely dodge the sword that Chen Xuanxin had chased behind him earlier, and three fingers of his right hand were cut off by the other party's sword.

With blood flowing from his hand, he also hurriedly swallowed a healing elixir, which made his face look slightly better.

Seeing Chen Xuanxin seriously injured by his strike not far away, he, who had just swallowed the elixir to heal his wounds, also couldn't care about refining the elixir in his body and immediately controlled the magic treasure in his hand to kill toward Chen Xuanxin's location.

Seeing the other party forcing his way up again, Chen Xuanxin could only grit his teeth and hold on, controlling his flying sword to fight with him again.

It's just that Chen Xuanxin, who originally had strength not weaker than the other party, after being seriously injured by the other party's strike, was significantly affected in strength and was forced to retreat repeatedly by Yue Wuji.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xuanxin could only transmit sound to Song Qingming for help.

Seeing this, Song Qingming also decisively gave up suppressing his opponent and went to help Chen Xuanxin block Yue Wuji, swapping his original opponent Linghu Jie to him.

After Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin swapped opponents, they barely maintained the balance of the battlefield, fighting until the sky gradually darkened, before they each sounded the retreat and retreated.

This battle was much more intense than the first two days, and both sides suffered no small losses.

On the "Xiaoyao Sect" side, more than thirty Foundation Establishment and more than two hundred Qi Mount Mount Lianhua cultivators were lost.

In terms of Jin Dan cultivators, Shen Tongzhou, Jin Ziyuan, Yun Nishang, and Song Qingyu were all injured in the battle, but the impact on them was not that great yet.

The one who was more seriously injured was Chen Xuanxin, the person with the highest cultivation in the sect on the battlefield.

After suffering Yue Wuji's sneak attack, Chen Xuanxin's injuries were also somewhat serious. Now, even if he could go to the battlefield after healing, he could only barely exert about half of his full-strength power.

And the opposite "Jiuyuan Sect," because they were the attacking side, although they had the advantage in numbers, the losses of low-tier cultivators were even more than the "Xiaoyao Sect."

Yue Wuji, Linghu Jie, and other "Jiuyuan Sect" Jin Dan cultivators were also mostly injured.

The most serious one, the Jin Dan cultivator surnamed Lu, was beaten by "Jin Feng" to the point that his natal magic treasure was almost destroyed on the spot, and in the end, he could only take the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield in advance.

Yue Wuji, who returned to the station, had just refined the healing elixir in his body and immediately came out of seclusion to the tent where everyone was discussing matters.

"How is Lu Boyang's injury?"

Seeing that everyone present was gathered except for one person, Yue Wuji hurriedly asked Wang Ziheng, who was closest to him.

Seeing this, Wang Ziheng, whose face was not very good, could only bow and answer: "Lu Boyang's natal magic treasure is shattered, and his injuries are somewhat serious and he is still in seclusion to recuperate.

But Sect Master, rest assured, although Lu Boyang's injuries are serious, his life is not in danger, and he can slowly recover after spending more time recuperating.

It's just... it's just that Lu Boyang is afraid he won't be able to participate in the battle tomorrow!"

"Lu Boyang just formed his core not long ago. If it weren't for the sect's lack of manpower now, I wouldn't want to easily transfer him to the front-line battlefield.

It's just that he was injured so seriously this time, I'm afraid his path will be affected in the future, and I can only find a way to compensate him later.

It's a pity that I used the spirit talisman given by Uncle Wu today but failed to successfully kill Chen Xuanxin, otherwise we would definitely have been able to defeat the Xiaoyao Sect in this battle today and take back Nanyue Market."

After Yue Wuji finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Linghu Jie, who still had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, asked again: "Sect Master Senior Brother, now that Lu Boyang is injured, we no longer have the advantage on the battlefield.

Should we continue to attack the market tomorrow, or wait until the reinforcements from the rear arrive before making plans?"

Hearing Linghu Jie's inquiry, Yue Wuji hurriedly replied: "Hmph! We don't have the advantage, but the other party hasn't been having an easy time either after fighting for these few days.

Although Chen Xuanxin picked up his life today, his injuries are not lighter than Lu Boyang's, and I'm afraid he is also unable to take action at will like Lu Boyang.

No matter what, we must continue to attack the city tomorrow. This is also our last chance to take back the market.

The Xiaoyao Sect has developed so fast over the years, and its strength has long been different from the past. If we let them stand firm in Nanyue Market, I'm afraid our Jiuyuan Sect will no longer have a place to settle down in the future."

More than a hundred years ago, during the "Iron Immortal Castle" great battle, the strength of the "Jiuyuan Sect" and the "Xiaoyao Sect" was not much different, and both sides barely fought to a draw in that battle.

In the end, the "Jiuyuan Sect" still successfully retreated to the Yue State with some Ma family cultivators.

I didn't expect that in just a hundred years, not only did Bai Yuxian successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but the strength of late Jin Dan cultivators like Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin was also much stronger than the "Xiaoyao Sect" of that year.

Now the "Jiuyuan Sect" on the battlefield can still rely on the large number of low-tier cultivators to occupy a bit of advantage, but if they can't make a quick decision, once the "Xiaoyao Sect" has more reinforcements arriving, they will have even less chance of winning this great battle.

Just like Yue Wuji thought, the "Xiaoyao Sect" crowd was indeed having a hard time because of the heavy casualties of low-tier cultivators.

Knowing that their side had fallen into a disadvantage, the "Xiaoyao Sect" crowd could only face the night and hurry to install the few high-tier "flying cloud crossbows" they brought on the market city wall to prepare for the great battle the next day. Besides Chen Xuanxin, who was seriously injured, Song Qingyu also suffered some minor injuries in the battle during the day.

Although she knew it didn't have much impact on her, Song Qingming still had a trace of worry in his heart and gave her two more third-tier defensive spirit talismans he had drawn himself for self-defense.

On a battlefield with so many Jin Dan cultivators fighting, Song Qingming couldn't spare much energy to take care of others, so he could only patiently exhort Song Qingyu a few more words.

The next day, early morning, following the horn sound that shook the battlefield, both sides fought again on the battlefield.

This time, it was the same as the battle of the previous few days. Although the two sides fought very fiercely, they still couldn't decide the result, only adding hundreds of cultivator corpses to the battlefield.

Although they paid a not-so-small price, the "Xiaoyao Sect" crowd still relied on their own strength to hold on and didn't let the enemy break through the "Nanyue Market" they were guarding.

Just like this, they fought for another five or six days. Both sides lost many cultivators, and even Jin Dan cultivators began to fall on the battlefield.

In the end, the "Jiuyuan Sect" side, which suffered not small losses on the battlefield, was the first to be unable to support it and took the initiative to retreat and return to the interior of the Yue State to recuperate.

The "Xiaoyao Sect" crowd, who had finally managed to hold on, breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the enemy had retreated, and hurriedly took the time to reinforce the market formation to prepare for battle, while transporting supplies and reinforcements to the front line.

In the previous ten-plus days of fighting, the "Xiaoyao Sect" side not only lost more than a thousand low-tier cultivators, but even Jin Ziyuan, a Jin Dan mid-stage sect elder, unfortunately fell on the battlefield.

Although the "Jiuyuan Sect" side suffered even greater losses than the Xiaoyao Sect, which was why they chose to retreat actively, their sect strength was not severely damaged.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid there will be even more cruel great battles in the future.

Just when everyone was nervously preparing for battle, ready to deal with the counterattack of the "Jiuyuan Sect" cultivators at any time, Bai Yuxian, who hadn't appeared for a long time, suddenly appeared in "Nanyue Market" and brought everyone a somewhat unexpected piece of news.

When the "Jiuyuan Sect" and the "Xiaoyao Sect" were fighting, the demon race in the north took advantage of the "Jiuyuan Sect's" empty northern defense power and began to gather on a large scale to go south, having already broken through several small markets in the north of the Yue State.

Now most of the "Jiuyuan Sect's" power had been mobilized to the north to deal with the demon race from the north that was going south.

Hearing this good news, some "Xiaoyao Sect" cultivators began to clamor to avenge Jin Ziyuan and the others who fell on the battlefield, and continue to fight north into the hinterland of the Yue State while the "Jiuyuan Sect's" power was empty.

But Bai Yuxian shook her head and stopped everyone after hearing this.

"I know everyone's thoughts, but this northern demon race invasion is not just invading the Yue State. I have already received news that the Jin Yu Mountain side has also begun to gather a large army to go south, and many demonic beasts have appeared outside the Bai Yun Valley.

If the Jin Yu Mountain demon race goes south on a large scale, the few people like Feng Ping stationed in the north of the sect are definitely not enough, and we may have to mobilize power to go back to help at any time.

Moreover, the Wanling Sect has also intervened to mediate this matter, and I estimate that before long, Senior Brother Li will reach an agreement with the Jiuyuan Sect side. At this time, it is no longer appropriate for us to go deep into the Yue State territory."

The struggle between the "Xiaoyao Sect" and the "Jiuyuan Sect," after all, is a contradiction within the human race.

When encountering a common enemy, the northern demon race, no matter how big the grievances between the two sects are, they must consider temporarily putting them aside and fighting the enemy together. Otherwise, if the two sects fight and let the demon race reap the benefits, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain.

Even if a hostile sect invades the territory, it will only be a struggle between cultivators and generally will not involve the mortals under their rule.

And once the demon race takes advantage of the loophole, there will be no humans or animals left in the places they pass, and the loss is absolutely something that any sect can hardly bear.

Hearing that the sect was already considering negotiating with the "Jiuyuan Sect" to cease fighting and make peace, although everyone was unhappy, no one dared to continue to say more and nodded in agreement.

The things that followed were also just as Bai Yuxian had said.

Half a month later, the "Jiuyuan Sect," which already felt the pressure of the northern demon race, chose to actively make peace with the "Xiaoyao Sect," giving up the idea of going south to take back "Nanyue Market," and concentrated its main power back to the north of the Yue State to deal with the demon race going south.

Compared to "Nanyue Market" in the south, the territories in the north of the Yue State that had just been taken back from the demon race were much larger, and naturally more important to the "Jiuyuan Sect," so they couldn't possibly easily return them to the demon race side.

The "Xiaoyao Sect" side also saw it as good and stopped, and under the mediation of the "Wanling Sect," agreed to temporarily cease fighting and make peace with the other party and no longer continue to invade other places in the Yue State to the north.

And the territory of thousands of miles southeast of "Nanyue Market" had since then belonged to the "Xiaoyao Sect," which was equivalent to adding a county's territory to the Wei State side.

Besides that, the spirit stone veins around "Nanyue Market," as well as other mineral and spirit vein resources, all fell into the hands of the "Xiaoyao Sect."

At the request of the "Jiuyuan Sect," those cultivation families and cultivator mortals who were originally attached to their sect and were unwilling to surrender to the "Xiaoyao Sect" all migrated and left "Nanyue Market."

The "Xiaoyao Sect" did not object to this. After all, these people were mostly people who had followed the "Jiuyuan Sect" for many years, and forcing them to stay might still be a hidden danger to the sect.

It would be better to let them leave on their own, and then migrate cultivators and mortals from within the Wei State to slowly manage "Nanyue Market."

As long as a few decades pass, all the cultivators in the entire "Nanyue Market" will become people from the Wei State side, and this place will have nothing to do with the "Jiuyuan Sect."

After the Yue State side suffered the demon race invasion, the "Jin Yu Mountain" demon race in the north of the Wei State heard the news and also began to stir.

Not long after, under the hint of the "Molong Demon Emperor," "Jin Yu Mountain" gathered thousands of demonic beast armies to go south, wanting to take back the territory they had lost before.

It was not just "Bai Yun Valley" located on the front line, but also many adjacent markets, as well as the vicinity of "Bai Shi Market" north of the Song family, where demonic beast armies appeared and began to besiege the markets.

For a time, the entire north of the Wei State began to reignite the flames of war, and countless cultivators and demonic beasts started fighting and struggling for territory.

After the two sects signed the armistice agreement, Song Qingming and the others also hurriedly returned to the Wei State, and then went directly to "Bai Yun Valley" in the north to participate in the battle against the "Jin Yu Mountain" demon race going south.

The last sect northern expedition against the demon race caused "Jin Yu Mountain" to lose most of its demonic beasts and suffer heavy damage. Only twenty years had passed, and the strength of the northern demon race had not yet fully recovered.

Facing the "Xiaoyao Sect" side that was fighting with all its strength, whether it was the Jin Dan demon kings or the low-tier demonic beasts below, their strength was clearly at a disadvantage.

As soon as they saw Song Qingming and the others appear on the battlefield one by one, the White Dragon Demon King, who was responsible for besieging "Bai Yun Valley," immediately chose to retreat and led the demon race army back to "Jin Yu Mountain."

The battle of "Bai Yun Valley," because of the demon race's decisive retreat, also appeared a bit anticlimactic. Both sides seemed to have a lot of movement, but almost didn't break out into a big conflict, and the battle ended quickly.

The result of the Song family's "Bai Shi Market" was the same. Under the guard of the Song family cultivators led by Huang Siyuan, after fighting a battle with the "Giant Elephant Demon King" army that came to commit the crime, the demon race side also quickly chose to retreat actively.

Although both sides suffered some damage, there were no major casualties.

The north of the Wei State, which had already been surging with wind and clouds, also gradually calmed down with the full retreat of the "Jin Yu Mountain" demon race.

And on the Yue State "Jiuyuan Sect" side, the war was much more intense. The "Jiuyuan Sect" side, which was slightly underprepared, was once beaten back by the demon race army, losing a large number of cultivators and the mortals under their rule.

In the end, it was only with the help of several small surrounding countries and the help of the "Wanling Sect" that they took back part of the territory occupied by the demon race after paying a certain price and stabilized the northern front.

After two consecutive great battles with the "Xiaoyao Sect" and the northern demon race, the Yue State "Jiuyuan Sect," which had lost thousands of cultivators and several Jin Dan elders at once, was also somewhat severely damaged.

After this, the "Jiuyuan Sect" completely lost the strength to challenge the "Xiaoyao Sect" and could only hold on to its existing territory, barely maintaining the dignity of a Nascent Soul sect.

In the battle of "Nanyue Market," although the "Xiaoyao Sect" side suffered smaller losses, they still lost more than a thousand Foundation Establishment and Qi Mount Mount Lianhua cultivators, and even Jin Ziyuan, a Jin Dan mid-stage sect elder, fell on the battlefield.

Although the "Xiaoyao Sect" had developed very fast over the years, and its sect strength had expanded rapidly after the northern expedition, the number of cultivators in the sect was also two or three times more than a hundred years ago.

But losing so many cultivators at once also made the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the sect, as well as Jin Dan elders like Li Mu, feel heartbroken.

Besides that, there were many cultivators in the "Xiaoyao Sect" who were seriously injured on the battlefield, including Chen Xuanxin, who currently had the best hope of impacting the Nascent Soul realm in the sect.

Chen Xuanxin, who was injured in his natal magic treasure by the other party's sneak attack, is estimated to need at least ten or twenty years of seclusion to have a possibility of recovery, which indeed has no small impact on him who should have been preparing for seclusion to condense the Nascent Soul.

Among the other Jin Dan cultivators who participated in the battle, Shen Tongzhou's injuries were also not light.

However, compared to Chen Xuanxin, whose injuries were relatively serious, Shen Tongzhou's injuries were relatively better, and he could recover in at most five or six years, and the impact on his future path was not that great.

The injuries of Song Qingyu and the others who were injured were also not great, and as long as they found suitable healing spirit items, they could recover as before in a year or two.

Since the great battle began, Song Qingming had been a bit worried about Song Qingyu's safety in his heart. Fortunately, although Song Qingyu was accidentally injured in the battle, she still insisted until the end without any danger.

Although this battle paid a great price, it also showed the dignity of the entire "Xiaoyao Sect," letting other surrounding sects see the powerful strength of the "Xiaoyao Sect," and the entire Wei State cultivators became famous because of this.

Some small countries in the vicinity, after this, many took the initiative to attach themselves to the Wei State "Xiaoyao Sect," making the sect's influence in the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world rise quite a bit. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 821 =====
