It was not until he returned to Mount Huoyun now that Song Qingming slowly learned about a series of things that happened after the evacuation of Jinshan Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the evacuation from Jinshan Market, because the time was a bit rushed, Mount Huoyun lost many cultivators afterward. In this battle, less than 70% of the cultivators who finally returned to Mount Huoyun remained, and even several Foundation Establishment cultivators died in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, there are still many cultivators like Song Qingming who were separated by beasts and returned to Mount Huoyun by a long way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Boyang, the Golden Core Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Sect, after fighting with two Beast Kings, also damaged some vitality. After returning to Mount Huoyun, he soon returned to the Profound Heaven Sect for closed-door healing. Now, the one presiding over the defense affairs of this battle line on Mount Huoyun is another Golden Core Elder who came to support, Chu Fengping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the second defeat at Jinshan Market, the Profound Heaven Sect also began to attach importance to the defense line in Pingyang County. In the past few days, many cultivators have been transferred from nearby to support Mount Huoyun, and Chu Fengping also brought many Foundation Establishment experts from the Profound Heaven Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this beast unrest, there are four battlefields with Beast King attacks near the Wei Kingdom. In addition to Guiyun Market and Mount Huoyun, there are Tuoyun Mountain and Tiexian Valley west of Guiyun Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the main battlefield is still at Guiyun Market. There are nine Beast King armies attacking Guiyun Market, and the Profound Heaven Sect side, Sect Master Yao Qianshu, personally brought five Golden Core powerhouses to sit here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the beast side has an advantage in the number of Beast Kings, the Guiyun Market side has Yao Qianshu, the number one Golden Core expert in the Wei Kingdom at Golden Core Level 9. After several great battles, the beast side not only did not take advantage but was also seized by Yao Qianshu to kill a Beast King, and it was difficult to form a threat to Guiyun Market again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoyun Mountain is the cave dwelling of the Wei Kingdom Golden Core rogue cultivator Chen Jinliang. The beasts attacking there are relatively weak, with only a Level 1 Golden Core Cloud Crane Beast King, which is far from Chen Jinliang's opponent. The beast army had not yet reached the vicinity of Tuoyun Mountain when it was repelled by Chen Jinliang, and even that Cloud Crane almost died in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiexian Valley is located in the northwest of the Wei Kingdom. The leader here is a Golden Core family in the Wei Kingdom—the Ma family. The Ma family has led Tiexian Valley for five or six hundred years, and there is also a Golden Core ancestor in the clan. On the surface, although they are also considered a subordinate family of the Profound Heaven Sect, the Profound Heaven Sect basically does not interfere in their affairs, and they have never issued a conscription order to them for so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are relatively many beasts attacking Tiexian Valley, with a total of three Beast Kings. However, the Ma family and Chen Jinliang of Tuoyun Mountain have always had a good relationship. After Chen Jinliang repelled the beasts at Tuoyun Mountain, he immediately took his disciples to support Tiexian Valley, and both sides were temporarily in a stalemate at Tiexian Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these four battlefields, except for Mount Huoyun, the other three battlefields can be considered settled, and there will not be much change. On the Mount Huoyun side, due to the fall of Jinshan Market, the cultivator side suffered many losses, and even Lu Boyang, the Golden Core True Person, was injured. The beast army at Jinshan Market now has a great advantage and may launch an attack again at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Mount Huoyun cultivators retreated from Jinshan Market that day, the biggest loss was the local Pingyang County cultivators. Many of them were a bit reluctant to give up the spiritual objects in the market and retreated a bit late. Many cultivators were entangled by beasts and could not escape from the market. The cultivators from the three outside counties retreated relatively early after receiving the order, and most people ran out safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Song family side was relatively fine. The old patriarch had practiced for a hundred years and was also a decisive person. At that time, after receiving the order to retreat, he decisively chose to retreat with the Huang family cultivators immediately and did not wait for Song Qingming to converge in the market. Although this was a bit heartless, in that critical situation, in order to protect the safety of most clansmen, he could only make this difficult decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a month after arriving at Mount Huoyun, after two great battles, of the fifteen people who came down from Funiu Mountain, one had died in battle and four were seriously injured. It can be seen that this war is cruel to low-level cultivators. The beast unrest is far from over. Song Qingming does not know who among them can return to Funiu Mountain safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to facilitate carrying, the old patriarch had already decided to cremate the Eleventh Uncle's remains and wait until returning to Funiu Mountain to take out his ashes for burial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the beast army re-occupied Jinshan Market, they soon headed south again and have now reached a plain less than twenty miles away from Mount Huoyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon detected that a large number of cultivators were stationed at Mount Huoyun, this cunning Beast King did not rashly attack here, but directly concentrated the main force of the beasts near Mount Huoyun first, and then continuously sent out low-level beasts under its command to begin attacking other spiritual veins around Mount Huoyun, wanting to besiege this place first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, most of the north of Pingyang County fell into the hands of the beasts. Many cultivation families could only temporarily abandon their family spiritual lands and migrate to the south of Mount Huoyun, dispersing most of the mortals in the family into the mountains and forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main target of the beasts' attack is the spiritual veins that cultivators rely on for survival. Mortals who have lost the protection of cultivators and remain near the spiritual veins will undoubtedly become blood food for the beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to migrate them on a large scale is also very easy to be discovered and chased by beasts. They can only be dispersed into the mountains and forests far away from the spiritual veins to hide. Although it is inevitable that some people will be discovered and swallowed by beasts after a long time, some mortals can still escape this disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Mount Huoyun discovered the beasts' attempt, the tactic chosen was still to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. The Level 1 spiritual veins near Mount Huoyun that could be abandoned were basically all evacuated, and only Longteng Mountain and Jiu Mountain, two relatively important Level 2 spiritual veins, were held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, Mount Huoyun and the beast army have been in a stalemate for several months without breaking out in a large-scale war. Both sides only fought a few small battles around those two Level 2 spiritual veins, and the Mount Huoyun cultivator army also got a few months of rest time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several attacks on Longteng Mountain and Jiu Mountain were frustrated, the beast side finally could not help it anymore. The two Beast Kings divided their troops into two paths. One path, led personally by the White Lion Beast King, with an army of thousands of beasts, killed toward Tenglong Mountain again in a magnificent manner. The remaining beasts and the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon Beast King stayed around Mount Huoyun, preparing to block the reinforcements from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Mount Huoyun received the news that the beasts were attacking Longteng Mountain on a large scale, Chu Fengping immediately organized a large number of cultivators to go to the rescue, not only sending out three Foundation Establishment Level 9 experts but also using the only Level 3 puppet beast of the Profound Heaven Sect, while he himself personally took action to contain the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides fought a great battle at Longteng Mountain. This battle was also very tragic. Both sides suffered heavy losses. On the Mount Huoyun side, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators died on the spot. The White Lion Beast King also lost more than a dozen Level 2 beasts, and even its own tail was cut off by a section. In the end, the White Lion Beast King still failed to breach this Level 2 spiritual vein.\u003C\u002Fp>",1564,"2026-06-14T03:09:34.521Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","43df7d147440658ae34f52d290ddbec8dcc94f9207c3486031049897a4a29112","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-119","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-117",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
