Chapter 113: Counterattack on Jinshan Market

Since human cultivators set foot on the continent of Donghuangxianzhou 100,000 years ago, through the expansion of generation after generation of cultivators, human cultivators have continuously seized large areas of living territory from the original overlord beasts. In its heyday, there were traces of human activity on both the east and west sides of the entire continent, and most of Donghuangxianzhou was human territory.

It was not until 30,000 years ago that this world suffered an invasion by the True Demons of the Demon Realm. The True Demons wanted to blood-sacrifice a magic weapon in this world, harming hundreds of millions of cultivators and mortals, and there was misery everywhere they went.

In order to defend this world and expel the True Demons, high-level cultivators from the five continents and four seas of the human world united to fight a great battle with the True Demons. The battle lasted for hundreds of years, and in the end, they even invited True Immortals who had already ascended to the upper realm to help, only then successfully expelling the True Demons.

Although the human world finally won this battle, human cultivators also paid a huge price, and even most of the highest-level Soul Transformation cultivators died in battle.

Cultivators in Donghuangxianzhou also lost several Soul Transformation cultivators in that battle. For a time, the strength comparison between the local human race and the demon race lost balance, the strength of the human cultivator side declined significantly, and beasts gradually began to gain the upper hand.

For these 30,000 years, because the human side was weak, they have been continuously shrinking their influence, and the beast side has also begun to gradually erode the human territory.

A few years ago, Song Qingming read a classic in Guiyun Market, which recorded that ten thousand years ago, the entire Floating Cloud Mountain Range was still human territory. At that time, the Floating Cloud Mountain Range had beautiful mountains and rivers, many spiritual lands, and many large human sects were located there.

In a large-scale invasion of northern beasts ten thousand years ago, the human side was defeated and retreated, instantly wiping out hundreds of sects, only then losing this great cultivation holy land of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

After the beasts occupied the Floating Cloud Mountain Range for more than ten thousand years, they gradually stood firm. Starting more than two thousand years ago, the beasts in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range began to invade south again, and several countries adjacent to it, including the Wei Kingdom, also began to lose peace, having to endure a large-scale southern impact of beasts every hundred years.

Because the previous Nascent Soul ancestor of the Profound Heaven Sect in the Wei Kingdom had extraordinary strength a thousand years ago, he forced the Golden Feather Beast Emperor in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range to sign a non-aggression contract. During the beast unrest, the Nascent Soul-level combat power of both sides could not be used at will, only then controlling the beast unrest that occurred every hundred years within the range below Nascent Soul.

It is also because of this that the influence of the beast unrest in the Wei Kingdom for the past thousand years has been controlled within the northern counties, and very few beasts can enter the core hinterland of the Wei Kingdom.

In Jinshan Market.

Seeing the beast army he sent out being beaten to pieces and fleeing back, the White Lion Beast King let out an angry roar, bit a Level 2 wolf beast that had just fled back, and soon swallowed this unlucky beast into its belly.

The thousands of low-level beasts nearby were shivering with fear and hurriedly crawled on the ground, letting out low roars of begging for mercy.

In the area of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range near the Wei Kingdom, there are more than a dozen Level 3 beasts. Every time there is beast unrest, the leaders are basically these Beast Kings. Very few Beast Kings from outside mix in. The Profound Heaven Sect has been fighting these Beast Kings for thousands of years and is already very familiar with their detailed situation.

Cao Wanjiang was right. This White Lion Beast King did not come from outside. It had been in closed-door cultivation in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range for nearly a hundred years and only broke through to the Golden Core realm thirty years ago. It was also because the White Lion Beast King did not come out to walk around often that the Profound Heaven Sect had not noticed this beast all these years.

Although the White Lion Beast King's personality is somewhat brutal, it is considered a bitter cultivator among the beasts. It has practiced for hundreds of years and rarely walks out of its territory. The reason why it left its territory this time is because it had a direct descendant that it had carefully cultivated for many years, which unfortunately died at the hands of human cultivators a few years ago.

The Qinghe County cultivators, including Song Qingming, do not know now that the Level 2 White Lion they killed at Chifeng Ridge a few years ago was the most beloved direct bloodline of this White Lion Beast King. Otherwise, even if someone gave the Huang family a few guts, they would not dare to intentionally provoke this Beast King.

A few days later, the prepared Mount Huoyun cultivators began to walk down Mount Huoyun and set off toward Jinshan Market.

This time, the Mount Huoyun cultivators, in order to retake Jinshan Market, can be said to have come out in full force, with more than forty Foundation Establishment and more than a thousand Qi Refining cultivators, and Lu Boyang, the Golden Core True Person, was also hidden at the back of the team.

The sporadic beasts encountered along the way, seeing such a huge team, fled to the distance in fear. Mount Huoyun is not far from Jinshan Market, and the group did not encounter much beast obstruction along the way and soon arrived outside Jinshan Market.

Following Lu Boyang's order, dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators flew out of the team and took the lead in killing toward Jinshan Market. The Qi Refining cultivators behind were also divided into a dozen teams and followed behind these Foundation Establishment cultivators. Some low-level beasts wandering outside the market, seeing human cultivators attacking, hurriedly let out an angry roar, notifying other beasts in the market.

Before long, a series of noisy roars came from the entire market, and groups of beasts rushed out of Jinshan Market, and the two sides soon fought together.

Although the number of beasts in Jinshan Market is not small, their overall strength is still slightly worse than the Mount Huoyun cultivators. Moreover, the cultivator side fights more organized, and some cultivators with formations in their hands even formed some magic formations to fight the enemy, which was far more flexible than the beast side in the battle.

In this battle, Song Qingming also used a common Three-Talent Qi-Combining Formation, forming a magic formation with the old patriarch Song Gushan and the Ninth Uncle Song Changxin, the two cultivators with the highest cultivation in the Song family, to block in front of the rest of the Song family cultivators, blocking the impact of some beast magic for them.

This set of formations is both offensive and defensive. After the three people activate the formation, any one of them can quickly borrow the magic power of the other two to fight the enemy, and the three can provide support to each other at any time even if they are separated. It was something Song Qingming spent a few days making temporarily using the ability of the remnant map on his body after the battle of Mount Huoyun.

This time, all twelve members of the Song family went to the battlefield. The Thirteenth Uncle Song Changxiong and the Fifth Brother Song Qingyuan, who were injured in the previous battle, did not come because they were still healing. The patriarch Song Gushan also applied to the Huang family, specifically leaving the Eighth Brother Song Qingchen, who had lower cultivation, on Mount Huoyun to help take care of the two injured people.

Although the Huang family is somewhat strict in managing subordinate families, this time they are conscripting cultivators from the four counties of Jiangling Commandery. As long as they do not violate the conscription principles of the Profound Heaven Sect, they are naturally willing to take care of subordinate families.

After all, coming out this time is not for the benefit of their own Huang family. After Song Gushan spoke to the Huang family cultivators and stuffed them with a few spirit talismans, he soon got a quota for Song Qingchen to stay and guard Mount Huoyun.

Not long after the battle started here, the White Lion Beast King flew out of Jinshan Market. Seeing human cultivators attacking the market, the White Lion Beast King opened its mouth and spat out an ice wind, instantly freezing a dozen unlucky cultivators who were closer to it into ice sculptures.

Just as the White Lion Beast King was showing its power, a blue light also slashed to its side. The White Lion Beast King hurriedly released the protective spiritual light on its body, wanting to block this fierce blow. Unexpectedly, the White Lion Beast King still underestimated the power of this blue light. Although it blocked most of the attack, a cut was still opened on its body, and a blood-red color also overflowed from its snow-white fur.

"Evil beast, since you want to fight so much, let this old man accompany you to play!"

Following the disappearance of the blue light in the air, Lu Boyang, holding a blue long sword in his hand, suddenly appeared above the battlefield and confronted the White Lion Beast King across the air.

The nearby cultivators and beasts, seeing the shocking means of these two, fled from this battlefield one after another. Golden Core-level battles are not to be trifled with. Even if Qi Refining cultivators are shaken by the aftermath of their battle, they will die on the spot.
