Chapter 119: End of Unrest

Next, although the Mount Huoyun side was still the disadvantaged side and could only rely on several Level 2 spiritual veins to hold on, after the Longteng Mountain battle, the beast side gradually lost its sharpness. Except for small-scale harassment, it never launched a large-scale attack again, and both sides gradually fell into a stalemate in Pingyang County.

Time flew by for another half a year, and good news finally came from Guiyun Market. After a stalemate for nearly a year, the Profound Heaven Sect finally seized an opportunity. Taking advantage of the beast army's lack of precaution, they met with the two Golden Core Elders who came to support, and inside and outside, they set up a grand formation to kill two Beast Kings at once.

The remaining Beast Kings saw that the situation was not good and directly abandoned the beast army under their command and fled north back to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. The beast army that lost the Beast King's command instantly fell into chaos. The Guiyun Mountain cultivators took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. After a fierce battle, the beast army that had attacked Guiyun Market for nearly a year finally began to retreat, leaving behind thousands of beast corpses before retreating back to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range again.

Once the beasts at Guiyun Market retreated, the three Beast Kings besieging Tiexian Valley immediately received the news. These three Beast Kings had been dealing with Tiexian Valley for hundreds of years, so they naturally knew that they could not breach this place by themselves. Knowing that the main beast army besieging Guiyun Market had already retreated, they did not stay for long and soon led the beast army under their command to slowly retreat back to their respective territories.

The Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon and White Lion Beast Kings, who were still attacking Mount Huoyun, also gradually lifted the blockade of Mount Huoyun and led the beast army to retreat back to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. Thus, this northern border beast unrest in the Wei Kingdom, which lasted for nearly a year, finally came to an end.

After this unrest, the impact on the Wei Kingdom side was fine, and not much territory that cultivators rely on for survival was lost. Only some low-level spiritual veins located north of Guiyun Mountain and close to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range temporarily fell into the hands of the beasts. The Wei Kingdom cultivation world can be considered to have survived this great disaster that occurs every hundred years without danger.

However, although the Wei Kingdom has successfully repelled the beasts, the entire northern border beast unrest is far from truly ending. Many countries around the Floating Cloud Mountain Range are still in continuous confrontation with the beasts, and some of them are even at a disadvantage.

The Zheng Kingdom, located on the east side of the Wei Kingdom, does not have Nascent Soul cultivators sitting in the country. There are only two Golden Core sects in the country. Decades ago, these two fought a great battle over a spiritual stone mine, which also affected many cultivation families below, causing the entire Zheng Kingdom cultivation world to suffer heavy losses. In this beast unrest, Zheng Kingdom cultivators were beaten all the way back by the beast army. Now one-third of the Zheng Kingdom's territory has fallen into the hands of the beasts.

There are more than 30 countries near the entire Floating Cloud Mountain Range, among which there are only 7 large countries with Nascent Soul sects. In order to resist the invasion of the entire northern border beasts, they will more or less conclude alliances with adjacent countries to resist the beasts together. The two Golden Core sects of the Zheng Kingdom hurriedly sent envoys to request support from several large countries around them. It was not until the reinforcements from several surrounding countries arrived that the Zheng Kingdom slowly stabilized the battle line.

Although the Profound Heaven Sect side also lost many cultivators, the core Golden Core Old Ancestors of the sect were not lost. Instead, they killed three Beast Kings near the Wei Kingdom, winning the final victory in this beast unrest and also reducing a few opponents for the next beast unrest.

After the beasts around Mount Huoyun retreated, the Qinghe County cultivation families such as the Song family, led by the Huang family cultivators, soon set off to return to Qinghe County.

The team of nearly four hundred people when they came now only had more than two hundred left, and many people were still carrying injuries.

Along the way, some people had a look of relief after the disaster on their faces, and many people were full of heavy looks. It is conceivable that they should all have close relatives and friends who died in this unrest.

The old patriarch Song Gushan's storage bag had two more urns of ashes. In addition to the Eleventh Uncle Song Changying, the Fourth Elder Song Gucai and the Twelfth Aunt Song Changyun also died in the Longteng Mountain battle.

In addition, the Fourth Brother Song Qingrui lost an arm, and the Second Uncle Song Changwu and the Fifth Aunt Song Changling were injured in their dantian. These are all major injuries that will affect their whole lives. Even after recovery, it will be difficult to restore their previous strength.

The rest of the people, including the old patriarch, were almost all injured. Song Qingming was also injured in his internal organs by a high-grade giant elephant at Longteng Mountain. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and now they have almost recovered. Of the fifteen people who came down the mountain, only the Ninth Uncle Song Changxin and the Eighth Brother Song Qingchen, who did not participate much in the battle, returned to Funiu Mountain intact.

After the death of the Fourth Elder Song Gucai and the Twelfth Aunt Song Changyun, the Song family members were sad for a long time. The younger generation of cultivators, including Song Qingming, had deep feelings for the Fourth Elder, an amiable old man who had taken good care of them. Even the old patriarch Song Gushan, a hundred-year-old man with white hair, muttered for a long time.

The Fourth Elder was too old after all. Originally, he was not among the cultivators selected this time. It was the Fourth Elder who took the initiative to ask for battle with the old patriarch, and finally changed to him. Unexpectedly, the Fourth Elder, who was younger, finally walked ahead of the old patriarch.

Now that Song Gucai has died in battle, the old patriarch's lifespan is only a few years left. The Gu-generation cultivators who have worked hard for the Song family for most of their lives are only the Third Elder Song Gulan, who does not go out much.

What is somewhat strange is that in this beast unrest, the biggest loss in Qinghe County is not them, but the Qian family cultivators who did not go to the Mount Huoyun front line to participate in the battle.

Before the White Lion Beast King, a grumpy Beast King, retreated, it suddenly led a part of the beasts to bypass Mount Huoyun and enter the south of Pingyang County, attacking several cultivation families, and even the Qian family of Chifeng Ridge, which is close to Pingyang County in Qinghe County, suffered a devastating disaster.

Chifeng Ridge was unbearable to look at for a time. This Level 2 spiritual vein that the Qian family had operated for several years instantly turned into a human hell, and tens of thousands of mortals and cultivators, without exception, became food in the mouths of the beasts.

Fortunately, the Qian family head Qian Guangyao took some cultivators to support the Liangshan spiritual stone mine and did not stay at Chifeng Ridge; otherwise, all the cultivators of the entire Qian family would have been wiped out by the beasts.

After hearing the news that the White Lion Beast King had breached Chifeng Ridge, the Huang family patriarch Huang Shengxin was also startled. Only then did he remember the great battle they organized to crusade against Chifeng Ridge a few years ago. Although he was not sure, Huang Shengxin already had a faint feeling in his heart that the Level 2 White Lion they killed a few years ago might have some relationship with the White Lion Beast King under Mount Huoyun.

Like human cultivators, the competitive relationship between beasts is also very fierce. Even beasts of the same kind will fight to the death for territory. However, most beasts value their direct bloodline very much, which is like the core direct disciples of a large sect. If you dare to take action against them, you may exchange for the entire sect to fight you to the death.

The reason why the White Lion Beast King traveled thousands of miles to attack Chifeng Ridge is very likely to avenge its bloodline. This can explain clearly why it chose to attack the direction of Jinshan Market at the beginning. Thinking of this, Huang Shengxin also broke out in a cold sweat at that time and hurriedly ordered the Huang family cultivators to seal up all the magic tools refined from the materials on that Level 2 White Lion a few years ago.
