During the demonic beast turmoil more than ten years ago, this spirit mountain was breached by demonic beasts, and most of the cultivators and mortals left on the mountain died in the mouths of the demonic beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the demonic beasts retreated later, this spirit mountain suddenly became ownerless land and was finally occupied by a group of rogue cultivators from other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In places like Pingyang County, which were close to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, although resources were much richer than in small counties like Qinghe County, the replacement of various forces was also faster. Almost every time after the demonic beast turmoil, many spirit mountains here would change owners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Lu, this place looks unremarkable. Are you sure this is the place?\" A young woman in a purple palace dress looked at the ordinary spirit mountain in front of her and asked Lu Yuanfeng on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng looked at the glowing spiritual talisman in his hand again and said with a smile, \"The direction indicated by the Soul-Chasing Talisman is indeed in this vicinity. Yang Wuqi’s hiding place is also here; it shouldn't be wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since obtaining Yang Wuqi’s whereabouts from Gu Liangshan, Lu Yuanfeng immediately notified the Xiaoyao Sect. Chen Xuanxin, who had been tracking Yang Wuqi’s news, soon brought several Foundation Establishment cultivators to Qinghe Market. After meeting with Lu Yuanfeng and Song Qingming, they followed the Soul-Chasing Talisman in Lu Yuanfeng’s hand to this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Wuqi, that demon, had not appeared in the Wei Kingdom for nearly twenty years since his great battle with Liu Xingfeng in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range last time. Chen Xuanxin, the Xiaoyao Sect cultivator who had been tracking him, also thought that this demon had long since left the Wei Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, after twenty years, they had found traces of this demon again. When receiving the news from Lu Yuanfeng, Chen Xuanxin was also exceptionally excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In recent years, because of the demonic beast turmoil, Pingyang County had lost many cultivators, and many spirit mountains had become empty, which also created many opportunities for those drifting rogue cultivators. Many rogue cultivators from other places suddenly appeared in Pingyang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these rogue cultivators, there were also some bandit cultivators who used to kill people and seize goods. In order to compete for those ownerless spirit veins, these people often fought, which also caused the chaotic situation in Pingyang County in recent years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Wuqi, that demon, likely took advantage of the chaotic state of Pingyang County after the demonic beast turmoil and the fact that the major Foundation Establishment families were unable to take care of themselves, and mixed into Pingyang County to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure that this operation would not alert the enemy and scare Yang Wuqi away, leading to a fruitless effort, Chen Xuanxin and the others did not choose to notify the Foundation Establishment family cultivators in Pingyang County after arriving at Qinghe Market, nor did they bring other low-grade cultivators to help. This operation was very secret, and only the five of them, Foundation Establishment cultivators, came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuanxin carefully looked at this spirit mountain and smiled knowingly, \"There should be a hallucination array set up on this mountain. What we see is just the appearance of this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Chen Xuanxin stepped into the air directly. With a movement of spiritual light in his hand, a crimson flying sword appeared. His left hand attached a barrier-breaking spiritual talisman to his magic sword, and he swung a sword at the entire high mountain with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuanxin’s cultivation base had improved compared to twenty years ago, reaching the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and he was also a sword cultivator. The power of this sword swing could be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw a sword Qi slashing directly at the mist along with the sword light, instantly cutting a gap several zhang wide in the mist, and only then did everyone see the real scene on this spirit mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, this spirit mountain, which looked like a fairy land on the surface, was a different scene under the mist. The entire spirit mountain was filled with black Qi, and even the trees, flowers, and plants on the mountain had mostly withered and died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountaintop was even more like a graveyard, with incomplete skeletons everywhere. The entire spirit mountain was like a dead land, and not a trace of life could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the swing of this sword, Yang Wuqi, who was hiding inside, reacted immediately. Before long, he jumped out from inside, full of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Xuanxin, it’s you old thing again. Why haven't you died yet?\" As soon as Yang Wuqi saw Chen Xuanxin, who had just broken the array he had set up, he was immediately furious. Enemies meeting, both sides were extremely jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yang Wuqi, that demon, emerge, Song Qingming and the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators also hurriedly surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing five Foundation Establishment cultivators surround him in an instant, Yang Wuqi said calmly, \"Old thing, don't think that only you know how to find helpers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Yang Wuqi took out a black spiritual talisman from his body, and with a movement of black mist in his hand, the talisman ignited spontaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, two spiritual lights flew over from the spirit mountain below, one after another. They were two more Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the few people surrounding Yang Wuqi changed their expressions drastically, not expecting this demon to have hidden reinforcements here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Junior Brothers, leave this demon to me to deal with, and you go and stop those two demons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Chen Xuanxin finished speaking, two sword Qi flew out from his sword, turning into two sharp sword lights that went straight to Yang Wuqi’s face from two directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yang Wuqi snorted coldly without panic. Black mist rose from his body instantly, and a pitch-black demonic saber about a foot long quickly appeared above his head. The demonic saber spun rapidly in the black mist, turning the black mist into two black snakes with wide-open bloody mouths, which swallowed the sword light released by Chen Xuanxin in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing Chen Xuanxin’s sword Qi, these two black snakes seemed somewhat unsatisfied and lunged directly at Chen Xuanxin not far away. However, they had only reached halfway before they were slashed into several sections by four stronger sword lights from Chen Xuanxin and vanished in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Demon Yang, it seems you have made quite a bit of progress in these twenty years. You are qualified to fight me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Old thing, now that my demonic saber has been completed, today you have come here, just in time to use you to sacrifice the saber to avenge the disciples of mine who were killed by you back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to twenty years ago, Yang Wuqi’s strength had improved quite a bit. Not only did he break through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, but the demonic saber he had refined with the lives of hundreds of cultivators had also been completed. His strength now seemed to be not much worse than Chen Xuanxin, who was at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yang Wuqi’s strength had far exceeded that of back then, Chen Xuanxin had also not made no progress in these twenty years. As a sword cultivator, he was now one of the top experts among all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Xiaoyao Sect. Naturally, everyone would not doubt his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Chen Xuanxin’s words, Song Qingming and the others shifted their shield lights and quickly left this battlefield, stepping forward to intercept the other two demonic cultivators rushing from the mountain, leaving Yang Wuqi to his arch-enemy, Chen Xuanxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>236038447, those who have QQ can join the group.\u003C\u002Fp>",1371,"2026-06-14T03:09:34.521Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6e71133f502274ac0cb9dd67d492828f2f9877911f696bb98e392829ae1b338b","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-165","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-163",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
