Chapter 283: Retaking the Market

Gao Yubai had just arrived near Qinghe Market and happened to see that the market formation had been broken. Feeling a bit anxious, he was about to rush over to support when he unexpectedly saw the Liu family cultivators who were still watching from afar.

"Reinforcements have arrived, everyone follow me to rescue the market."

Seeing that Gao Yubai in the air seemed to have discovered them, the Liu family patriarch shouted loudly and took the lead to rush out.

The other families hiding on the side saw the Liu family shouting that reinforcements had arrived and saw Gao Yubai who came to support in the air, and immediately followed, fearing that they would fall behind others.

This suddenly jumped out dozens of Qi Refining cultivators to help, and Gao Yubai was also a bit surprised. Fortunately, those who emerged were helpers, which added a few more points of confidence to him.

Gao Yubai led these people and soon killed to the south side of Qinghe Market, engaging with those bandit cultivators who were on guard outside the market.

Seeing Gao Yubai, who was chasing behind Wu Xiang and the two, also bringing a group of Qi Refining cultivators, Cheng Yilong was also surprised. He didn't expect the other party's reinforcements to arrive so quickly.

Seeing that more than half of the shops in Qinghe Market had been looted, Cheng Yilong gritted his teeth, took out a black jade flute, and blew the signal for retreat.

The reason Cheng Yilong chose to retreat so decisively was also because he didn't know how many other reinforcements were behind Gao Yubai and how many people he brought. He was also a bit afraid that once he was entangled by Gao Yubai and them, and other reinforcements came later, these people would be difficult to escape.

Although he didn't loot the entire Qinghe Market, he had already looted quite a few spiritual items now, which could be considered to have achieved the purpose of this trip. Continuing to take risks in the market might result in spitting out what had already been obtained, so it was better to retreat first and put it in his pocket. Cheng Yilong's personality was relatively ruthless, but his style of conduct had always been cautious and steady, which was also the reason why he had been able to escape so many encirclements and suppressions over the years.

Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong had just arrived over the market when they heard the retreat signal blown by Cheng Yilong. They didn't care about Gao Yubai, who was chasing them, and came directly to Cheng Yilong's side.

"Big Brother, the other party brought a group of reinforcements. The woman just now was rescued by them. This guy is a bit difficult to deal with. I two just joined forces to fight him and didn't take any advantage." Seeing Cheng Yilong, Chen Zicong took the lead to explain.

"No matter, I will deal with this person. Two virtuous brothers, this place should not be stayed for long. Hurry up and take everyone to retreat first."

Seeing Cheng Yilong take the initiative to stay behind to cover the retreat, Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong naturally wouldn't oppose it, and hurriedly nodded to help command the cultivators below to retreat, wanting to take the people below and leave one step ahead.

With Foundation Establishment cultivators watching, the bandit cultivators in Qinghe Market soon all retreated from the market. After these people left Qinghe Market, they didn't care about Gao Yubai and others who had chased over and went directly to the north.

Gao Yubai soon solved several blocking Qi Refining bandit cultivators and arrived on the east side of the market. He was about to attack the bandit cultivators who were left behind, but just as he made a spell, he was blocked by a sword light.

"If you want to fight, I will accompany you, how about it?"

Seeing Cheng Yilong with a provocative face in front of him, although he knew his cultivation was not as good as the other party's, the arrogant Gao Yubai didn't choose to retreat and directly took out his magic artifact.

After a melodious flute sound, Song Changxiong and others, who were already very desperate, suddenly felt that the people who were surrounding them suddenly retreated slowly.

Not knowing what had happened, they soon saw a group of cultivators killing into the south side. They soon recognized the origin of these people, who were family cultivators who came to support nearby.

Seeing that reinforcements finally arrived and the other side started to retreat, the cultivators remaining in Qinghe Market finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this battle was extremely dangerous, they were lucky to have survived.

Song Changxiong, who could still act, hurriedly organized manpower to start rescuing the injured cultivators in the market.

A stick of incense time later, after a fierce collision sound, Gao Yubai outside the market gate was knocked back by a blow, directly retreating more than ten steps before stabilizing his figure.

"Kid, you have some ability. I wanted to teach you a lesson, but I have something to do, so I can't accompany you to play anymore." Cheng Yilong smiled lightly at Gao Yubai, stepped on his flying sword, and rushed directly into the high sky.

Gao Yubai looked at Cheng Yilong with some regret, hesitated again and again, but didn't continue to pursue, wiped the trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, and walked slowly into the market.

Just after Cheng Yilong left, Song Qingming and others finally arrived at the market, but they came a bit late, and Qinghe Market had already been broken by bandit cultivators.

Seeing bloodstains and corpses everywhere around Qinghe Market, and the market formation forcibly broken, Song Qingming's face tightened, and he felt a bad feeling instantly.

Compared to the spiritual items in the market, he was actually more worried about Song Qingyu's safety. This was someone he had spent a lot of effort to cultivate. If Song Qingyu died so cowardly here, it would truly be a huge blow to the Song family.

Without caring about going to chase those bandit cultivators, Song Qingming wandered around the market and soon found Thirteenth Uncle Song Changxiong here.

At this moment, Song Changxiong was commanding everyone to concentrate the corpses and wounded cultivators who died in the battle in one place, so that each family could come to claim them later.

Looking at the rows of corpses piled up in front of him, Song Qingming scanned them and didn't see the person he was looking for. After breathing a sigh of relief, he stepped forward to ask Song Changxiong if he knew Song Qingyu's whereabouts.

"I only know that Qingyu took the initiative to rush out to attract a portion of bandit cultivators for us. I didn't see her return later, and I don't know where she went or if she escaped."

Thirteenth Uncle Song Changxiong only knew that Song Qingyu led Hu Maocai and others to rush out from the south gate. As for what happened to Song Qingyu later, everyone here didn't know until now.

Hearing Song Changxiong's reply, Song Qingming shook his head and smiled bitterly. Just as he wanted to look around the market to see if he could find her whereabouts, he turned around and hadn't walked far when he suddenly discovered a somewhat embarrassed figure walking slowly towards Song Changxiong's side tremblingly. Seeing this familiar figure, Song Qingming stood still on the spot instantly.

"Seventh Brother, it's my incompetence that I couldn't guard the market."

"It's okay, it's good that you are fine."

Seeing Song Qingyu appear in front of him pale and weak, saying such self-blaming words, Song Qingming, who was still panicked just now, suddenly smiled at her.
