Chapter 186: Return
Three days later, at the border of the Fuyun Mountain Range, Long Feng in mid-air looked at Song Qingming standing on the flying sword not far away and said softly: "Little Friend Song, this place is not far from the place controlled by your human cultivators. I will send you here. After crossing the big mountain in front, you walk south for a few hundred miles and you should be able to meet your fellow cultivators."
"Okay! Thank you, Senior Long Feng, for not being afraid of hardship to help send me here. The junior will take his leave first." Song Qingming bowed to Long Feng, saluted, and then stepped on the flying sword and quickly went south.
Watching Song Qingming disappear before his eyes, Long Feng turned his head, flapped his wings, and quickly disappeared in place.
After walking south for a few hundred miles, Song Qingming looked at the mountains and rivers under his feet that were becoming more and more familiar. Song Qingming finally breathed a long sigh of relief. It is estimated that Guiyun Market is only a few hundred miles away from here. According to his pace, he can reach there in at most half a day.
After arriving here, he was already considered to have left the depths of the Fuyun Mountain Range. Along the way, Song Qingming also saw several groups of low-level cultivators who came out to hunt demons. Until now, there was no movement behind him. Long Feng basically shouldn't chase over.
Near the Wei Kingdom, demon beasts of the Jin Dan level, except during the demon beast chaos that happens once in a hundred years, basically do not appear within a thousand miles of Guiyun Market. This is also the boundary defaulted by both sides. Once someone crosses the boundary rashly, it is easy to attract the siege of the other side's combat power of the same level. Even Jin Dan-level ancestors or Demon Kings are likely to fall in the battle.
After leaving the secret realm that day, Fire Phoenix finally did not break her promise, not only let him return but also let Long Feng send him out of the dangerous depths of the Fuyun Mountain Range. For this arrangement of hers, Song Qingming was really a bit grateful.
In a place where Jin Dan Demon Kings are very common, he, a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, was indeed not strong enough. Any two powerful Level 2 demon beasts could easily send Song Qingming into reincarnation. It is estimated that Princess Fire Phoenix also thought of this, so she specially asked Long Feng, this Demon King, to personally escort him for a ride.
In the past, he didn't have much contact with high-level demon beasts. In Song Qingming's eyes, most demon beasts were very cruel and casual like the White Lion Demon King back then, and humans were just blood food in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, there are Demon Kings like Fire Phoenix in this world who talk about righteousness with low-level cultivators, which really opened Song Qingming's eyes and changed some of his views on demon beasts in the past.
Just when Song Qingming was thinking about his magical experience during this period, he suddenly discovered a few cultivators fighting in a place under his feet. Song Qingming turned his eyes to look, his face sank, and he fell from high altitude.
"A few of you, this place is already a hunting ground for demon beasts that our Fire Wolf Gang has taken a fancy to. If you are sensible, leave quickly. Don't wait for our people to support us later, you won't be able to leave, and say that our Fire Wolf Gang didn't give you a chance." Three Fire Wolf Gang cultivators who looked a bit fierce said to the five loose cultivators in front with a smile, threatening them.
Although the loose cultivator side had two more people, their overall strength was only slightly stronger than the few people in the Fire Wolf Gang.
After a few rounds, although they didn't take much advantage, they still stood in place and were not scared by the words of the few people in the Fire Wolf Gang.
"A few fellow Daoists want to hunt demons here, we can give it to you, but we have to wait for us to take away the green ox beast we just killed. What do you think?" The speaker was a middle-aged scholar who was not young, holding a folding fan in his hand, and was also the leader of this group of loose cultivators, the only late-stage Qi Refining cultivator among them.
"Joke, this place has long been our Fire Wolf Gang's hunting ground, and the prey on the ground is naturally ours. Don't even think about taking this demon beast away." Among the three in the Fire Wolf Gang, a bald man with a scar on his face laughed with disdain.
"Your Fire Wolf Gang has long been on the wanted list of Guiyun Market, and now you are still so blatantly coming out to intercept things. You really don't take the market seriously at all. Could it be that you don't intend to give us loose cultivators a way to live?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar shook his hand and put away the folding fan, preparing to continue the attack.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a strange person wearing a bamboo hat suddenly walked toward the place where they were fighting, which made both sides at the scene a bit nervous, not knowing whether this person was an enemy or a friend.
"Hey, stop! Who is your subordinate, kid? Why haven't I seen you before?" The bald man of the Fire Wolf Gang hurriedly asked the man in the bamboo hat.
The man in the bamboo hat, after hearing the sound, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "A few of you, Fire Wolf Gang, right!"
"Yes, who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Of course, I'm here to make money."
As soon as the bald man's words fell, the man in the bamboo hat directly took out a blue flying sword from the storage bag. Only seeing the flying sword in his hand shake lightly, it crossed the sky and turned into a blue sword light, stabbing at a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator among the three in the Fire Wolf Gang.
Facing the surprise attack of the bamboo hat cultivator, a Fire Wolf Gang cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining also reacted immediately, raised his shield magic treasure, and prepared to block this attack.
It's just that what made him and everyone else drop their jaws was that with a blue light passing directly through the chest of this Fire Wolf Gang cultivator, along with the golden shield in his hand, a huge hole the size of a palm appeared immediately.
This person looked at the hole in his chest, shook a few times with unwillingness, and fell directly to the ground.
Seeing his companion killed by this bamboo hat cultivator with one strike, the remaining two were shocked and guessed that this mysterious person wearing a bamboo hat should be a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator. They looked at each other in panic and fled into the woods on the side separately.
"Didn't you just want to hunt demons here? How long has it been, why are you running again?"
After the man in the bamboo hat muttered to himself, he threw the flying sword in his hand directly, shooting at the bald man who had just slipped his hand.
The cyan sword was like a lightning bolt, easily crossing a distance of dozens of zhang again, and chased to the front of the bald man.
Compared with the person who was killed by a sword without any reaction before, the bald man's cultivation was still higher, and his reaction was naturally a bit faster.
Only seeing him immediately sacrifice a long knife magic treasure, urging the magic treasure with both hands to block in front. Immediately after, several spirit talismans flew out of his hand, directly gathering into dozens of fireballs, wanting to intercept the man in the bamboo hat who was chasing.
Unexpectedly, such a beautiful strike did not affect the man in the bamboo hat at all. He directly used a green light armor to protect his whole body and forced his way through the middle of the big man's spirit talismans. With a scream from the bald man, the man in the bamboo hat solved another person soon. Although the last one ran a bit far, he still couldn't escape the bad luck and was beheaded by him with a sword.
