Chapter 328: Wind Crane

Hearing what the crane puppet in his hand said, Song Qingming finally felt relieved and didn't rush to leave immediately.

"Junior Song Qingming, I haven't asked for Senior's name yet. I don't know how I should address Senior in the future?"

"Hehe! Knowing my name might not be a good thing for you in the future. You can address me as Wind Crane!" The crane puppet beast said slowly in a low voice.

"That's fine! Junior comes from a humble background and has only been practicing the Dao for a few decades. My knowledge of many things in the immortal cultivation world is indeed relatively shallow. In the future, I hope Senior Wind Crane can give me more guidance!"

"As long as you can satisfy my needs according to the agreement, I will naturally remind you when guidance is needed! However, don't expect me to tell you everything. After all, you and I are not master and apprentice, but just a cooperative relationship."

Song Qingming nodded and smiled lightly, then took out a golden jade box from his storage bag, intending to hide this senior first.

"Boy! What are you trying to do?" Seeing Song Qingming's operation, the crane puppet beast asked loudly in confusion.

"Senior Wind Crane! It's not that Junior intends to do this to you. I am going to Fenggu Plain to join the front-line cultivators. There are many Golden Core seniors there. If I am discovered by them, it will be troublesome." Song Qingming explained with a somewhat difficult face.

"What are you afraid of! The old man can hide the aura on his body well. Let alone small Golden Core cultivators, even if you encounter ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, they won't be able to discover my existence."

Seeing Wind Crane so confident in his words, Song Qingming couldn't say anything more. He hurriedly put away the jade box that could isolate divine sense, found a cloth bag, and tied the crane puppet beast to his waist.

By the time Song Qingming walked out of the cave, he discovered that he had finally returned to the small valley earlier. At this moment, there was no white mist created by the illusion array in the valley, and it had returned to the ordinary scene earlier.

Song Qingming carefully looked at his surroundings and didn't find anyone else's figure, and a hint of relaxed smile slowly appeared on his face.

Having been chased and killed or trapped by the array for days, and almost being calculated by the old guy at his waist, Song Qingming had been tense for these days and hadn't been able to rest well for a moment.

After finding a place outside the valley and refining a dozen spirit stones to restore his magic power, Song Qingming stepped on a flying sword and turned into a sword light, leaving this valley directly.

Fenggu Plain was still about two hundred miles away from this small valley. Song Qingming galloped on his sword all the way. After more than an hour, he finally saw a convoy heading toward Fenggu Plain on a main road a few dozen miles away from Fenggu Plain.

After Song Qingming landed and inquired, he learned that these people were transporting materials needed for the front line from a market near here called Tianjing Market to Fenggu Plain. Seeing his own people, Song Qingming finally put down the worry in his heart.

This convoy had a total of more than ten large carts transporting materials, pulled by more than ten domesticated four-horned horses, with dozens of cultivators responsible for escorting. The leader was a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Gu Tong.

At first, seeing a strange Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly land in front of the convoy, Gu Tong and the entire convoy, who didn't know Song Qingming's identity, were very nervous. It wasn't until the two sides communicated for a while that Gu Tong confirmed Song Qingming's identity. Learning that he was also going to Fenggu Plain, Gu Tong smiled and invited him into his convoy, taking the initiative to invite him to travel together.

Song Qingming asked for the way and also knew that it was not far from Fenggu Plain, so he agreed. Anyway, the convoy was pulled by four-horned horses, and the speed would not be too slow. Walking with them could also save some effort.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I have also heard about Huanglong Market these days. I was so nervous just now, I hope Fellow Daoist will forgive me."

Song Qingming smiled and sighed: "Brother Gu is too polite. I actually escaped from Huanglong Market a few days ago. After hiding outside for several days, I finally escaped. Now I don't know where to go to find the few fellow Daoists who were separated. That's why I thought of Fenggu Plain to see if I could take a spirit boat directly back to Mount Baimeng."

Hearing that Song Qingming escaped from Huanglong Market, Gu Tong was also somewhat surprised. Their Tianjing Market and Huanglong Market were not too far apart. After hearing that Huanglong Market was attacked, they also quickly sent cultivators to support.

It was just that by the time they arrived, that group of people from the Heaven Sea Alliance had long since fled. According to post-war statistics, except for a few Foundation Establishment cultivators who escaped from Huanglong Market, all other cultivators were killed by the opponent, and the entire market was almost burned to a piece of white land.

However, Cao Rongxue and the others, like Song Qingming, escaped safely in the end. They waited for the reinforcements of Wang Liangping from Green Ox Ridge. After a great battle between the two sides, the Heaven Sea Alliance lost five or six more people, and the remaining others dispersed and fled from there.

Hearing the news that Cao Rongxue and the others survived safely, Song Qingming felt a hint of relief in his heart. After he was targeted by Sun Jingya that day, he was beaten and lost his direction, which forced him to change direction and flee to Fenggu Plain. Although he finally picked up a life, it was also thrilling all the way. In his heart, Cao Rongxue and the others should also be in dire straits. He didn't expect that their luck was also good, and they waited for Wang Liangping's timely support.

Originally, logically speaking, the market array of Huanglong Market could support the arrival of cultivators from other places to support. It was just that Liu Wenguan's betrayal on the spot gave a fatal blow to the cultivators guarding Huanglong Market, causing Zhao Mengzhen and others to lose their lives quickly.

Actually, before Song Qingming and the others came to support Huanglong Market, Liu Wenguan had already hooked up with the Heaven Sea Alliance side. The previous attack on the market was actually Liu Wenguan deliberately leading the guarding cultivators in the market to pursue the opponent, and finally lost so many people.

Originally, those people from the Heaven Sea Alliance didn't intend to let Liu Wenguan expose his identity. It was just that the old nest of Green Ox Ridge was suddenly taken down, and they couldn't stay near Huanglong Market for a long time, so they simply killed the chicken to get the eggs and completely leveled this market.

Later, after Song Qingming and the others rushed back, Liu Wenguan still wanted to lead them into the ambush circle of the Heaven Sea Alliance. If Wei Tianhe hadn't discovered his idea in time, it was really hard to say whether they could escape with their lives.

After chatting with Gu Tong for more than half an hour, the convoy finally arrived at the front-line camp of Fenggu Plain. Song Qingming ran to ask about the spirit boat to Mount Baimeng, but was told that there were no spirit boats returning to Mount Baimeng in recent days. With no other choice, he had no choice but to stay in the camp and wait for the returning spirit boat.

Waiting for this, Song Qingming didn't wait for the spirit boat, but instead waited for the transfer order to stay in the front-line camp. Looking blankly at the order he received, Song Qingming really couldn't help but laugh or cry in his heart.
