The group immediately surrounded him from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he had been exposed and could not hide, Cheng Yilong had no choice but to stick a Light Body Talisman on his feet and then directly step on his flying sword to fly, accelerating his escape speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Chen Zicong, who was mixed in the crowd of bandit cultivators, was also being chased tighter and tighter by the pursuers behind. After accidentally killing a Qi Refining cultivator who was chasing him, he also quickly exposed his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Gao family members saw Chen Zicong, who had just played them, and their expressions changed as they quickly surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he could no longer hide, Chen Zicong gritted his teeth, revealed his identity, and quickly drilled into the nearby forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the two of them running, the remaining Qi Refining cultivators quickly fell into chaos, each looking for their own way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bandit cultivators, more or less, had human lives on their hands and didn't dare to surrender. In order to survive, most of them could only choose to resist to the end, with no second way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in such a large scene, with so many cultivators running down from Eagle Nest Ridge, it was normal for a few lucky ones to escape. But even if these Qi Refining cultivators could escape safely today, they would never be able to make any big waves again. After today, for a short time, there would be no need to worry about Eagle Nest Ridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yilong’s cultivation had reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and at less than 180 years old, he still had a glimmer of hope for Core Formation. The reason he risked robbing Qinghe Market this time was actually for his future Core Formation. He didn't want to be a wanted bandit cultivator for the rest of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of his previous identity, as long as he could successfully form a Core in the future and become a Golden Core cultivator, he could change his life. Whether it was changing his appearance to join other sects or traveling far away to leave Wei Guo, these could all be done easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yilong had just escaped over ten miles away, and before he could rest for a moment, a bolt of lightning struck directly at his feet, causing Cheng Yilong to stop his steps instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who launched this fierce attack was Huang Shengxin, whose cultivation was a notch higher than Cheng Yilong’s. Compared to Cheng Yilong, although Huang Shengxin had failed twice in Core Formation, he had already become a False Core cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Whether it was cultivation or his own strength, he was much higher than Cheng Yilong. Among opponents at the Foundation Establishment level, it was already difficult for anyone to defeat him in a one-on-one fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Shengxin’s return to Eagle Nest Ridge was actually aimed at Cheng Yilong. Such a big bandit cultivator had repeatedly escaped the encirclement and suppression of many cultivators, and the Xiaoyao Sect had long since raised the bounty for Cheng Yilong to a very high level. As long as one could take his head, one could get a large amount of Xiaoyao Sect merit, perhaps using this to exchange for the Core Formation spiritual items he wanted most at the Merit Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the moment Cheng Yilong stopped, his path had been blocked by Huang Shengxin. Seeing that he could not easily escape, Cheng Yilong had to be forced to use his magic tools and fight Huang Shengxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the two in front had already started fighting, Song Qingming and the others hurriedly surrounded them and joined the team besieging Cheng Yilong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng, Huang Shengyue, and Song Qingming were all middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even without Huang Shengxin, the three of them could defeat Cheng Yilong together. Not to mention that there was now an additional peak Foundation Establishment Huang Shengxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the siege of the four, Cheng Yilong quickly became flustered and fell into a passive situation of being beaten. Relying on a high-quality second-tier mid-grade defensive magic tool in his hand, Cheng Yilong barely blocked the first few waves of attacks from the crowd, but this could only hold out for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having previously deceived the two Gao family members with the \"cicada shedding its skin\" trick, Cheng Yilong thought that Heaven was favoring them, but he didn't expect that after working hard for a long time, he still couldn't escape the fate of being besieged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike when Song Qingyu was besieged while defending Qinghe Market and still had a glimmer of hope to wait for reinforcements, Cheng Yilong was almost desperate from beginning to end. He could no longer wait for anyone to save his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, all he could rely on was himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was being suppressed by the crowd and that there was absolutely no chance to escape if he continued to fight, Cheng Yilong, unwilling to fall here, hardened his heart and quietly took out his last trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoists, why not just let me live? I, Cheng, guarantee that I will absolutely not be an enemy of your Qinghe Market in the future, and I will never enter the territory of your Qinghe County again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really don't let me go, the Heaven Heart Thunder in my hand is not for show. If you are hit by this magic tool and it doesn't have eyes, don't blame me for not reminding you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Cheng Yilong say this, Song Qingming and the others stopped their hands one after another, staring fixedly at the ink-green bead he took out, not daring to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was truly the Heaven Heart Thunder as Cheng Yilong claimed, they had to be careful. Even a Core Formation cultivator would not feel good if hit head-on by this thing, let alone them who only had Foundation Establishment cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe! Whether the thing in his hand is real or not is not certain. Don't be bluffed by him. Even if it is a real Heaven Heart Thunder, it is not so simple to take a life.\" Huang Shengxin was not affected by Cheng Yilong at all, his expression as calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was about to succeed, Huang Shengxin did not want to give up halfway here. He was absolutely going to take Cheng Yilong’s head today. For this reason, he did not stop his attack, and the spells he cast were even sharper than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the enemy refused to let him go, Cheng Yilong hardened his heart and, taking advantage of Huang Shengxin’s attack gap, threw the small ball directly into the air where Huang Shengxin was attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a loud \"bang\" was heard. Even though Huang Shengxin had used a protective shield in advance to defend himself, he was still grazed on the shoulder by the Heaven Heart Thunder, causing half of his arm to become bloody and blurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this magic tool at such a close distance, although it successfully injured Huang Shengxin, the Heaven Heart Thunder would also injure Cheng Yilong himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just waiting for a spell to blow away the smoke, the crowd wanted to see how Cheng Yilong was injured, only to find that his figure was no longer there.\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-14T03:09:35.509Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","489c06e8cd9023aca0b6ad2c58ada15f081821a2a863c2e695a9bfd77faee759","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-291","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-289",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
