Chapter 832

After Song Yuanfang left, Song Qingyu slowly turned around and came to a small room next to her that was filled with various books.

The books and bamboo slips recorded here were anecdotes from various places in the cultivation world and spirit item illustrations, which were basically brought back by Song Qingming when he was traveling outside back then.

These things, which were not very eye-catching to high-tier cultivators outside, were the favorite things of Song Qingming, the Song family patriarch. Usually, when he sat with Song Qingyu and the others in the "Hui Xian Pavilion" to taste tea, he would often hold them in his hands.

Coming to the bookshelf at this moment, Song Qingyu thought of Song Qingming, who had been away from home for more than a year, and could not help but sigh slightly at the corner of her mouth.

"Seventh Brother! I really hope you can return early."

After whispering a sentence, Song Qingyu's hand moved with spiritual light, and two new bamboo slips appeared, which she placed directly among the numerous books in front of her.

Afterwards, Song Qingyu set up a restriction beside these two bamboo slips before turning to leave the room with peace of mind.

After nightfall, a cyan-clothed figure quietly came to the back mountain of "Funiu Mountain."

Taking advantage of the gap when the patrolling clansmen left, the cyan-clothed figure flashed to the Mountain Protection Array, then passed directly through the array and turned into a black light, disappearing into the night.

Half a month later, beside a high mountain shrouded in clouds and mist in the north of Yue Kingdom.

This mountain is named "Fire Lingshan," and there is also a second-tier top-quality spirit vein of not high grade on the mountain, which was originally located in the territory of the demon race.

After the human cultivators of the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world jointly marched north decades ago, this place fell into the hands of the Yue Kingdom cultivators who occupied this place and set up a "Mountain Protection Array" on the mountain to guard this place.

On this day, when several Qi Refining cultivators were patrolling under the mountain, they suddenly saw a group of demon beasts rushing toward the "Fire Lingshan" direction, so they hurriedly sent a message while quickly retreating into the "Mountain Protection Array."

"Demon beasts are attacking, hurry and activate the array to resist the demon beasts!"

Because "Fire Lingshan" is located at the border with the demon race, this place is often harassed by the demon race in recent years. The human cultivators stationed here also reacted extremely quickly when they heard that demon beasts were attacking.

Before the demon beasts in the distance could arrive at this place, a spiritual light lit up on the "Mountain Protection Array" on the mountain, followed by more than a dozen black round balls the size of half a foot rolling down from the mountain.

These black round balls had just fallen into the demon beast group when they immediately exploded with a "bang," blowing several low-tier demon beasts nearby away and startling other demon beasts nearby into a mess.

The black round balls thrown out from the array were a kind of one-time magic tool "Black Flame Seed" unique to the Yue Kingdom side.

This item can be thrown from a long distance like a spirit talisman. Although its power is not as good as a spirit talisman of the same tier, its attack distance can be farther than a spirit talisman, and the effect on dealing with groups of demon beasts is very good.

Following more than a dozen huge explosions ringing out one after another, the demon beast group attacking from afar also appeared in a mess and did not dare to continue moving forward.

It took a good while before they gathered together under the deterrence of several leading second-tier demon beasts and rushed toward the "Mountain Protection Array" in front again, no longer having the powerful momentum from before.

Just as the demon beasts rushed to the front of the "Mountain Protection Array," several sword lights immediately flew out from the array, killing the leading demon beasts on the spot.

"Hurry, kill the enemy!"

Immediately after a shout, dozens of cultivators killed their way out from the "Mountain Protection Array" and fought with those demon beasts in one place.

Although this group of demon beasts attacking "Fire Lingshan" had hundreds of beasts, the number of human cultivators guarding this place was also not small, with a total of three Foundation Establishment and more than two hundred Qi Refining cultivators.

Although the two sides were not much different in strength, the human cultivators relied on the "Mountain Protection Array" and had several sharp weapons specially for guarding the city, which was clearly more advantageous.

After fighting for not long, following the head of a leading second-tier demon beast being slashed off by a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator among the human cultivators, the demon beast side was soon startled and began to retreat slowly.

"Hehe! The demon beasts have retreated, everyone hurry and chase."

Seeing that the invading demon beasts had lost their fighting spirit and began to flee in all directions, a look of joy appeared on the faces of the numerous human cultivators, and they began to chase outward.

As for the few Foundation Establishment cultivators in mid-air, they did not leave the battlefield to chase the fleeing demon beasts and began to command the remaining cultivators to deal with those dead cultivators and the numerous demon beast corpses.

One of them arched his hands to the Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator who had just shown great power and said:

"Being able to win so quickly this time is all thanks to Brother Liu's divine power. Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy for us to beat back the demon beasts!"

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Yu is being polite. Being able to guard the spirit mountain in this great battle, everyone has merit. After the casualties are counted, I will naturally report everyone's merits to the sect.

Now the sect is short of manpower and still needs everyone's help. I hope you all can help me guard this place, and the sect will naturally not treat you badly in the future."

"Then many thanks to Brother Liu. Fellow Daoist, don't worry. With us guarding here and the second-tier top-quality 'Mountain Protection Array,' it will definitely be foolproof.

Even if a Demon King comes, we can rely on the array to resist for a while."

"Boom!.."

Just when the three Foundation Establishment cultivators were chatting outside the array, they only heard a shocking loud noise suddenly coming from behind, followed by the second-tier top-quality "Mountain Protection Array" behind them shattering amidst the roaring sound.

More than a dozen Qi Refining cultivators who were closer nearby were soon swallowed by a white light, and their figures disappeared instantly.

Before everyone could react to what had happened, a purple-clothed figure fell from high altitude and stood on a giant sword that was more than ten feet high on the ground.

"This, this senior, please don't misunderstand. The junior is a disciple of the Wu Jiuyuan Sect, ordered by the sect to guard this place. I don't know what important matter the senior has coming here. I hope you can tell us. We will definitely not dare to neglect the senior."

Seeing the purple-clothed woman stepping on the giant sword in front of him, the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu was shocked. He hurriedly took the lead and respectfully arched his hands to the other side, indicating his identity as a disciple of the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect."

The purple-clothed woman in front was not coming with good intentions and her face was very strange; she was not someone they knew.

But the powerful aura radiating from her body, destroying their "Mountain Protection Array" with just one sword, was enough to guess that she must be a high-tier cultivator above the Jin Dan stage.

Facing a high-tier cultivator of this level, even if the people in front joined forces, it was fundamentally impossible for them to be the opponent of the purple-clothed woman.

Wanting to survive, they could only try to bring out the name of the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect" to see if the other side would have any scruples after knowing it.

Hearing the self-introduction of the leading Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu, the purple-clothed woman just smiled lightly and did not answer the other side's question.

Afterwards, she raised her hand and waved, instantly releasing a sword light, flying toward the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu with fierce momentum.

Seeing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu of the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect," who was prepared, hurriedly moved his body to the side and back, and cast a spell to release a shield to protect himself.

Seeing him dodge her attack, the purple-clothed woman moved her hand lightly again. After the sword light brushed past the other side, it suddenly changed direction and flew toward the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu again, arriving in front of him instantly.

"Ah!.."

Although he was prepared, the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu of the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect" was, after all, too far apart in cultivation strength from the other side.

The people around only heard a scream, and the sword light controlled by the purple-clothed woman easily passed through the shield magic tool in front of the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu's chest and flew out from behind him.

Just by meeting the other side, the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu, who had just shown great power in front of the demon beasts, fell down and became a cold corpse.

Seeing the purple-clothed woman kill without saying a word, ignoring even the name of the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect" brought out by the Foundation Establishment man surnamed Liu, the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators around were also startled and hurriedly separated and ran to both sides.

"Everyone run!"

Seeing the three leading Foundation Establishment cultivators dead or fleeing, the Qi Refining cultivators around also scattered in a mess, scrambling to flee out of the mountain!

Facing this scene, the purple-clothed woman also gave everyone a contemptuous look, then cast spells with both hands quickly.

The giant sword under her feet suddenly flew into mid-air, then turned into hundreds of sword lights, flying directly toward the fleeing crowd! Before long, after the purple-clothed woman landed from high altitude, there was no movement on this "Fire Lingshan," leaving only corpses of cultivators all over the ground, as well as those demon beast materials they had not had time to deal with.

After killing the cultivators nearby, the purple-clothed woman did not look at the demon beast materials on the ground and directly took out a spirit talisman and cast it out.

A moment later, three more spiritual lights flew from afar and landed beside the purple-clothed woman.

Seeing the people coming, the purple-clothed woman hurriedly bowed to the white-clothed woman who was the leader.

"Master! This area has already been cleaned up."

The white-clothed woman nodded slightly upon hearing this, then said: "Zixin, you guard outside first and don't let anyone approach here.

If you encounter anything difficult to deal with, send a message to me directly!"

"The disciple obeys!"

After giving instructions to the purple-clothed woman on the side, the white-clothed woman turned around and looked behind her.

"Since you have been here, you should lead the way! Don't worry, with me here, you won't be in any danger."

"Please follow me, senior!"

Hearing the instructions of the white-clothed woman in front of her, Song Qingyu nodded slightly and led the two behind her to fly toward the back mountain of "Fire Lingshan."

Before long, the three arrived at a cliff.

After arriving here, Song Qingyu relied on the memory in her mind and soon found a place covered by clouds and mist. Just as she was about to try to enter it, several sword lights suddenly flew out from the clouds and mist, heading straight for the location of Song Qingyu and the three.

Just as Song Qingyu was about to take action, another white-clothed girl beside her was one step ahead of her, throwing out a golden bracelet magic treasure to block in front of the three.

After blocking all the sword lights in front, the golden bracelet, under the control of the white-clothed girl, suddenly became dozens of times larger and smashed directly into the clouds and mist.

Only hearing a "Boom!" loud noise and several screams, after the clouds and mist in front rolled for a while, the corpses of three cultivators fell from it and fell directly into the valley under the cliff.

"Let's go!"

Hearing the reminder of the white-clothed girl beside her, Song Qingyu hurriedly nodded, then led the two into the clouds and mist in front and came to a somewhat familiar mountain cave.

This mountain cave was exactly the cave dwelling of the Nascent Soul senior that Song Qingyu had visited with Song Qingming, Xia Mo, and He Mengxin back then.

It was also here that Song Qingyu accidentally obtained that sword cultivation inheritance, which helped her later condense a Jin Dan and have today's cultivation.

When she first came here, Song Qingyu had not yet condensed a Jin Dan and her cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment ninth layer. In a blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed, and this cave dwelling had also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The cave entrance, which was originally desolate and full of dust, had now not only been cleaned up to look brand new but also added many oil lamps for lighting, illuminating the originally pitch-black cave very brightly.

(Latest chapter in reading!)

After Song Qingyu and the others explored the cave dwelling and looted it clean before leaving that day, this place soon attracted other demon beasts because of the leakage of spiritual energy. After some fighting, it was occupied by a Foundation Establishment peak-stage tiger demon.

Later, the Yue Kingdom cultivators marched north to the demon race under the leadership of the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect," took this place, and accidentally discovered a high-tier fire vein hidden in the cave dwelling, so they renamed this place "Fire Lingshan" and occupied it.

The cultivators led by the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu were the cultivators sent by the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect" to be stationed here.

It's just that besides the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Liu and some Qi Refining cultivators who were disciples of the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect," the others were all loose cultivators recruited by the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect" from outside.

They also didn't know about the cave dwelling and the high-tier fire vein hidden behind the mountain. They thought that the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect" invited them here just to fight against the demon beasts and guard the spirit vein on the mountain.

The white-clothed woman and the three who came with Song Qingyu were the sword cultivation expert and her two disciples that Song Qingyu met at "Yunwu Mountain" that day.

This trip to Yue Kingdom was precisely because the white-clothed woman who was the leader insisted on bringing Song Qingyu along.

A year later, the injuries on the white-clothed woman after the great battle had also healed a lot, and most of the paleness on her face had disappeared, but her voice was still somewhat hoarse when she spoke.

Although she still couldn't guess what the purpose of the other side bringing her here was, Song Qingyu's cultivation was really too low compared to the three beside her, and she fundamentally didn't have much qualification to bargain with the other side.

Not to mention this unfathomable white-clothed woman, even the Jin Dan peak-stage disciple, the purple-clothed woman, she brought, Song Qingming didn't have any confidence to defeat.

The other white-clothed girl disciple who had just taken action also had a cultivation that had reached the Jin Dan sixth layer, not much worse than Song Qingyu.

After the three entered the mountain cave, under Song Qingyu's leadership, they soon entered the upper-layer cave dwelling that they had visited back then.

Arriving here, Song Qingyu hurriedly arched her hands to the white-clothed woman behind her: "Senior! This is the cave dwelling of the senior that I found back then."

The white-clothed woman nodded slightly, scanned the surroundings, and said softly: "The spiritual energy here is somewhat wrong; it should be a different world!"

Hearing what the white-clothed woman said, Song Qingyu hurriedly nodded: "Senior is right. This cave dwelling has two layers, upper and lower. The place where the junior found the cultivation inheritance was precisely in this lower layer."

After Song Qingyu finished speaking, she pushed open a stone table in the middle of the cave dwelling and directly exposed the cave entrance below.

"Hmm! Take me down."

After the three passed through the somewhat dark tunnel, they soon arrived at the cave dwelling below.

After this cave dwelling was occupied by the "Wu Jiuyuan Sect," the artifact refining furnace that Song Qingming and the others had dismantled was replaced with a new one, and there were also many more artifact refining materials on the empty stone shelves around.

"Senior, this is it. Originally this place was empty. These things should have been placed here by later people."

After bringing the white-clothed woman here, Song Qingyu introduced it simply, then said nothing more and stood obediently to the side.

As for the white-clothed woman, after scanning the surroundings, she walked slowly around the entire cave dwelling and finally stopped in front of a stone shelf.

Just by waving her hand lightly, this stone shelf, which weighed thousands of catties, was pushed to the side by her, revealing a stone wall that was somewhat pitted.

At a corner of the stone wall, there was also a very inconspicuous small hole of an inch, which directly attracted the white-clothed woman's gaze.

"Was it here that you found that sword?"

Hearing the white-clothed woman's inquiry, Song Qingyu hurriedly nodded and replied: "Senior is right. The junior accidentally discovered it here back then."

"Take the sword out!"

The flying sword that Song Qingyu obtained from the stone wall back then looked very ordinary and had not yet been sharpened. Besides obtaining the hidden sword intent inheritance from it, Song Qingyu also didn't know its specific function.

It was not until she successfully condensed a Jin Dan later that Song Qingyu knew its true purpose and refined it into her own natal flying sword, which was the "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" that had been hidden in her body.

Hearing what the white-clothed woman said, Song Qingyu instantly understood her meaning and quickly cast a spell to summon the "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" in her body.

Seeing the "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" in front of Song Qingyu, the white-clothed woman revealed a smile slightly, then cast a spell to throw out a red rope, which directly entangled the natal flying sword of Song Qingyu.

Afterwards, Song Qingyu felt the "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" being pulled by a great force and inserted directly back into the stone wall, falling into the small hole that had originally been pulled out by her.

After doing this step, the white-clothed woman waved one hand, and a white flying sword appeared beside her.

After this white flying sword came into mid-air, its spiritual light suddenly lit up, and then its aura instantly rose to a level that made Song Qingyu feel uneasy, and it slashed toward the stone wall with one sword.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu and the white-clothed girl beside her hurriedly retreated! Only hearing a harsh sound, the scene of flying rocks that Song Qingyu and the two originally thought would appear did not appear. The stone wall remained intact, but a white light appeared out of thin air.

This white light seemed to be stuck on the stone wall, printed on it, making people feel somewhat novel.

Before Song Qingyu could figure out what was going on, the flying sword in the white-clothed woman's hand fell again, leaving a light on the stone wall.

After the white-clothed woman's dozens of sword lights fell one after another, the stone wall area was also scraped by the sword light in her hand, revealing a sword-shaped talisman seal with a somewhat special appearance.

Seeing this talisman, the white-clothed woman instantly revealed a look of joy.

"Senior Brother! It has been many years since we last met. Since I have found this place by fate today, let me see what the inheritance you left behind back then looks like?"

After the white-clothed woman whispered to herself, she quickly cast a spell, which fell directly on the "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" on the stone wall.

As the white-clothed woman's magic power fell into it, the talisman seal on the stone wall suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light and slowly flew into mid-air.

Seeing this, the white-clothed woman hurriedly controlled the white flying sword to shoot a sword energy into the talisman seal in mid-air, and the gaze in her eyes also became very solemn.

Seeing the situation happening in front of her, Song Qingyu, who was standing behind, was shocked constantly.

Although she had some guesses in her heart before coming, she still didn't expect that in the cave dwelling that had already been looted clean by their few people back then, there really remained something that could make a Nascent Soul cultivator like the white-clothed woman's heart move.

Before Song Qingyu could see the situation in front clearly, the talisman seal in mid-air, after being probed by the white-clothed woman's flying sword magic treasure, suddenly began to become restless, and then broke free from the spiritual light released by the white flying sword and began to dance in mid-air.

Seeing this, the white-clothed woman was slightly stunned and cast spells again to control the flying sword magic treasure to shoot out several spiritual lights, turning into a cage to lock the talisman seal in mid-air.

After seeing the talisman seal stabilize again, the white-clothed woman relaxed slightly.

But when she controlled the sword light to want to merge into the talisman seal again, she didn't expect the talisman seal in front to suddenly light up with spiritual light, breaking the cage again and breaking free from the control of the white flying sword.

Before the white-clothed woman could control it again, the talisman seal suddenly bypassed the sword light and fell directly into the "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" inserted in the stone wall, disappearing completely.

"How could this be? Could it be that you designed it in advance again?"

Seeing this unexpected scene, the white-clothed woman's complexion changed instantly and she blurted out, and her entire person was actually standing on the spot in a daze.

And at this time, Song Qingyu not far away suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more on her natal magic treasure "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword."

But because the flying sword was too far away from her, for a while, she was also not very clear about what changes had happened.

Seeing the white-clothed woman cast spells to take the "Xuanming Jin Guang Sword" into her hand and examine it carefully with a solemn face, Song Qingyu hesitated for a moment, but still could not help but ask: "Senior! Can you return the magic treasure to the junior first?"

Hearing what Song Qingyu said, the white-clothed woman looked up at her. After being silent for a moment, she suddenly smiled and replied: "This sword is of some use to me. I'm afraid I can't return it to you for now.

You will follow by my side for these few days. When I finish using it, I will naturally return it to you."

"Senior, if you are unwilling to return the natal magic treasure to the junior, then even if the junior destroys it now, I will not follow you anymore!"

After Song Qingyu finished speaking, magic power was already surging on both her hands, and a trace of determination appeared in her eyes when looking at the white-clothed woman.
