Chapter 315

After Song Qingming walked quickly to the gathering place in the middle of the market, he saw that besides some Qi Refining cultivators stationed in the market, Liu Wenguan and Cao Rongxue, who had the highest cultivation in Huanglong Market, were already waiting here.

After seeing Song Qingming come over, the two didn't open their mouths to speak, just nodded and greeted him.

Not long after, other Foundation Establishment cultivators who also didn't know what had happened also rushed over here one after another.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Wenguan coughed twice, then opened his mouth: "Fellow Daoists, I just received an emergency sound transmission in my cave dwelling. A large number of enemy cultivators were discovered at Qingniu Ridge, nearly a hundred miles away from us. Senior Uncle Fang has already sent people to surround it and ordered us to send personnel to assist.

This time, it was an instruction personally issued by Senior Uncle Fang. Since he values it so much, I estimate that quite a few people should have come. This is a good opportunity for everyone to establish merit. Before this, I had already discussed it with Fellow Daoist Cao. This time, she will lead the team to support, and this old man will stay behind to guard the market. I wonder which fellow Daoist is willing to go with Fellow Daoist Cao?"

Hearing Liu Wenguan say this, everyone's faces changed into different appearances one after another. There were those like Cao Rongxue who were anxious in their hearts and wanted to kill the enemy and make contributions, and their faces were full of somewhat excited joy.

Having been on the front lines of Lu Guo for so long and still unable to truly engage with the enemy, Cao Rongxue, who had been holed up in the market, also couldn't hold back. Once she heard this news, she immediately took the initiative to ask Liu Wenguan to lead the team to support.

There were also those like Zhao Mengzhen, whose faces were somewhat panicked. The reason he came to the front lines of Lu Guo was the same as Song Qingming's—he was conscripted by the Grand Void Gate, and he didn't come for merit like Cao Rongxue. Zhao Mengzhen naturally didn't want to participate in such a dangerous battle in his heart.

Having been in Huanglong Market for so long, although Zhao Mengzhen also actively executed several tasks with Cao Rongxue, Song Qingming, and others, he was actually very careful and cautious every time he went out. If it wasn't a necessary battle, he wouldn't think about taking the initiative to take risks.

Just as Liu Wenguan finished speaking, several people immediately opened their mouths to go with Cao Rongxue to execute the support task, including Song Qingming, who also wanted to go out and find an opportunity to see if he could earn a bit of merit.

"Several fellow Daoists, the matter is urgent, so I will entrust it to everyone. I hope that this time everyone can have gains and successfully complete this task."

After everyone discussed it quickly, they immediately decided on the candidates to go.

Besides Cao Rongxue and Song Qingming, there were also Wei Tianhe and Wen Hou, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was originally stationed in the market. Besides this, there were also more than forty elite Qi Refining disciples traveling together.

At the beginning, Song Qingming, who came to Lu Guo, actually had similar thoughts to Zhao Mengzhen. He thought that he could give the Grand Void Gate an explanation on the front lines, and try his best not to take the initiative to participate in risky tasks.

It was just that after he saw the second-level puppet beast, Song Qingming gradually changed his thoughts. Now he was also very interested in this opportunity to earn merit, and his heart was also somewhat looking forward to this action.

The target of this action, Qingniu Ridge, is only less than a hundred miles away from Huanglong Market. This distance is already quite close, and Qi Refining cultivators can also rush to that place in half a day.

In order to take care of the Qi Refining cultivators below, everyone didn't walk very fast along the way, and it wasn't until half a day later that they arrived at the destination of this trip, Qingniu Ridge.

Qingniu Ridge was originally a second-level spiritual vein occupied by demon beasts. Originally, there were three second-level Green Ox demons on this spiritual mountain. These demon beasts liked to live in groups and act together, and they didn't offend many humans, so no cultivators chose to take the initiative to provoke them.

Song Qingming and others stationed in Huanglong Market didn't know that quite a few dozen Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators who had infiltrated were actually living here all along. And the reason why they didn't go to attack Huanglong Market later was just to better hide themselves and not attract the attention of the many Lingyin Sect cultivators.

By the time Song Qingming and others rushed here, there were already quite a few Lingyin Sect cultivators outside Qingniu Ridge. These people were arranging defensive means such as arrays outside Qingniu Ridge, wanting to prevent the cultivators inside from running out.

This time, the Lingyin Sect didn't know where it got the news, and blocked all the many Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators who had infiltrated Lu Guo here at Qingniu Ridge. At this moment, it was gathering cultivators from all sides to come, intending to wipe out the enemy cultivators trapped inside in one go.

Ever since the two sides started the war, faced with these cultivators who had infiltrated the rear, cultivators on both sides were very troubled. These people were like mice hiding in the house, coming out from time to time to harass, striking the transportation lines in the rear, which made the high-level of the Lingyin Sect also very troubled.

The battle on the front-line battlefield was already somewhat tight, and they still had to arrange a large number of people to be responsible for guarding the markets and strongholds along the line. If this battle could solve these hidden troubles hiding by their side in one go, it would be solving a big trouble for the Lingyin Sect, at least for a period of time they wouldn't have to worry about these rear worries.

The Lingyin Sect cultivator responsible for this siege at Qingniu Ridge is named Wang Liangping, and he is an old-fashioned Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Lingyin Sect.

This person has been in Foundation Establishment for many years and acts quite seasoned. After leading cultivators to surround Qingniu Ridge, seeing that the other side had arranged a second-level great array on the ridge, he didn't choose to attack forcefully immediately, but patiently surrounded this place tightly and arranged arrays to slowly wait for the cultivators around to come to support.

The Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators trapped on Qingniu Ridge totaled more than thirty people. These people were all elite disciples of the Heaven Sea Alliance, and their cultivation was at least at the Foundation Establishment level. Because Qi Refining disciples move too slowly, they are not suitable for this kind of task of infiltrating behind enemy lines, so all the Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators who infiltrated the territory of Lu Guo were disciples above the Foundation Establishment level.

After these people arrived in Lu Guo, besides going out to raid the Lingyin Sect's material transport teams every once in a while, they basically all hid here to avoid the search of the other side's cultivators.

After discovering they were trapped, these Heaven Sea Alliance people also tried several waves of breakout. It's a pity that they were all blocked back by Wang Liangping and his people fighting to the death. Seeing that more and more cultivators were surrounding the outside, the Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators trapped on Qingniu Ridge gradually all couldn't sit still.

At this moment, dozens of Heaven Sea Alliance cultivators were gathered in a cave dwelling, discussing how to get out of trouble. Seeing that the situation under the mountain was getting worse and worse, they all chose to incite a young man sitting at the head of the table to hurry and order a breakout.

"Senior Brother Wu, it's time to act decisively. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for us. Hurry up and make a decision!"

"Yes! Senior Brother Wu, make a decision!"
