Chapter 313

Huanglong Market is a small market located in the southeast of Lu Guo. Its size and scale are slightly larger than Qinghe Market and not much different from Jiangling Market, where Song Qingming departed from when he came. But its geographical location is already not far from the main battle line of the Lingyin Sect and the Heaven Sea Alliance, Laolong Mountain, and it is a very important stronghold for the Lingyin Sect.

In the market, Liu Wenguan is discussing with two Foundation Establishment cultivators who are guarding the market with him how to strengthen the defense of this market.

This market originally had six Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than two hundred Qi Refining cultivators guarding it together. More than ten days ago, a group of Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators who had infiltrated inadvertently targeted this market and, taking advantage of the gap in the Lingyin Sect's material transfer, launched a sudden attack on this market.

After a great battle, although they beat back the Heaven Sea Alliance's attack, the Huanglong Market side also suffered the death and injury of three Foundation Establishment cultivators and dozens of Qi Refining cultivators. Now, the defensive strength of this market is already very weak, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived. The days of Liu Wenguan and others in Huanglong Market can be described as "a day like a year."

Just when several people were very depressed, a Qi Refining cultivator suddenly ran in hurriedly and shouted loudly to the several people sitting there: "Senior! A few more Foundation Establishment cultivators have come to the North Gate and are wanting to come in at the gate."

"Have you seen clearly who they are? Is it someone sent by the sect?" Hearing this news, an old man with a somewhat depressed face among those present hurriedly asked the person who came.

"Those people are dressed in all sorts of ways, and this junior can't see clearly either. I hope several seniors will go and see together!"

"What are your eyes for? Can't you see if they were sent by the sect..."

Seeing that the old man was about to get angry again, Liu Wenguan hurriedly got up and said to the two: "Don't waste time on him. Let's go to the North Gate and see together!"

The three of them went to the North Gate of the market and looked from afar. Five cultivators were standing in front of the market gate.

These five people were dressed differently, and there were no obvious signs. After Liu Wenguan scanned a circle, his eyes suddenly stayed on a folding fan shaken by a young man among them.

"It's Junior Brother Wei and the others. Hurry up and open the array to welcome the several fellow Daoists in."

Once they heard that it was reinforcements sent by the sect, the many cultivators guarding the market revealed long-lost smiles one after another and hurriedly opened a gap in the market temporarily to let the people outside in.

"Oh! Junior Brother Wei, you finally arrived. Are these several fellow Daoists all here to support us here together?" Seeing Wei Tianhe walking into Huanglong Market, Liu Wenguan, who had a happy face, hurriedly took the lead to greet him.

Wei Tianhe, who took the lead in walking into Huanglong Market, didn't reply to him directly after seeing Liu Wenguan, but first took out a token token engraved with a white cloud from his person, handed it to the few people who walked over, and then spoke softly to introduce the few people beside him.

"These few are Fellow Daoist Cao, Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Song, and Fellow Daoist Gu sent by the Grand Void Gate. They are here to support Huanglong Market together with me under the order of Senior Uncle Cheng. Traveling with us are also fifty Qi Refining disciples. They walk slower, and it is estimated that it will take another four or five days to arrive.

Before departing, I heard Senior Uncle Cheng say that your situation here is relatively urgent, so we discussed it and rushed over in advance."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Wei and several fellow Daoists. More than ten days ago, a group of Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators raided the market. This group of people was not large in number, only more than ten people, but they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators and carried breaking-array beads. The market array didn't play any role at all before it was broken through. After a bitter battle, we lost several fellow Daoists before we barely beat them back. We estimate that these people left empty-handed after suffering a loss last time and will definitely come again, which is why we sent an emergency request for reinforcements to Senior Uncle Cheng's side."

Speaking of this matter, Liu Wenguan and the others still have lingering fears until now. The number of cultivators who raided the market at that time was not large, but each of them was an expert at or above the Foundation Establishment level. They soon beat the six Foundation Establishment cultivators on their side to retreat steadily. If it weren't for the fact that he saw the situation was not good and decisively sacrificed a third-level spirit talisman to deter the other side, Huanglong Market would have long since become a ruin.

"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Wei and you arrived in time to support. Now that Huanglong Market has the assistance of several fellow Daoists to defend, even if that gang kills their way over again, we now have the confidence to hold the market." A Foundation Establishment cultivator who came with Liu Wenguan said to the crowd with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Wen is right. Junior Brother Wei, now that you have arrived here, we can also feel at ease. Several fellow Daoists have been running around all the way and must be somewhat tired. Let's hurry and follow us to rest for a while!"

After Liu Wenguan finished speaking, he introduced the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been by his side when he came to the crowd, and then personally led Wei Tianhe and the others to choose the cave dwellings needed for their cultivation in the best spiritual energy place in the market.

After choosing a cave dwelling at random, Song Qingming sat in meditation first to replenish the magic power on his person to a perfect state.

After leaving the mountain gate of the Lingyin Sect, Song Qingming, together with Cao Rongxue, Zhao Mengzhen, and a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Liuyang County named Gu Yunxiao, followed Wei Tianhe, the leader sent by the Lingyin Sect, to receive the task of coming to support Huanglong Market.

This task was relatively urgent. Under Wei Tianhe's suggestion, several people separated from the Qi Refining disciples walking behind and flew directly by sword for thousands of miles to arrive at Huanglong Market.

From the conversation of the few people just now, Song Qingming felt a subtle relationship. This market didn't look as safe as he had imagined before coming. According to what Liu Wenguan said, the previous wave of attacks by the Heaven Sea Alliance's infiltrated cultivators had almost broken through this market. If the next wave of attacks really arrived so quickly, Song Qingming knew without thinking that the hope of them holding this market with just a few people was also not very great.

Fortunately, this task was to come together with Cao Rongxue and the two. No matter what, it could be considered that there was an acquaintance together, and at least they could look after each other. This was always stronger than him performing the task alone.

Since this task was so dangerous, it seems he still needs to prepare a bit earlier to prevent the unexpected.

A few days after Song Qingming and the others arrived at Huanglong Market, the Qi Refining cultivators who came to support later also arrived here, and the number of people in the entire Huanglong Market also increased a lot.

Before the great war with the Heaven Sea Alliance, Huanglong Market was also a prosperous market like Jiangling Market. Ever since the war started, Huanglong Market has been getting closer and closer to the front lines, and it no longer has its past prosperity. In the past year, because the Lingyin Sect often needs to pass through here when transporting materials, they simply took direct control of this market.

Nowadays, there are no other merchants and cultivators in Huanglong Market, only the industries of the Lingyin Sect and the security personnel guarding the market.
