Chapter 358: Retreat

Seeing that there were no strong people at the Golden Core level among the few people who came, Song Qingming, who was hiding beside a pile of chaotic rocks, also slowly let go of his heart.

A few days ago, after Du Yucheng came to Black Stone Valley, just as he was preparing to destroy the sealing formation at the cave entrance, he happened to bump into a few Carefree Sect Qi Refining disciples who came here to patrol.

After Du Yucheng killed these people, he soon alarmed the Carefree Sect Foundation Establishment cultivator Xu Youlong stationed in Tenglong Market. He went to Black Stone Valley to investigate this matter and fought with Du Yucheng.

Although Xu Youlong had been in Foundation Establishment for nearly twenty years, he owed the sect a lot of debt in order to reach Foundation Establishment, and he still hadn't paid it off until now. Therefore, his cultivation was very tight, and his cultivation base was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment until now.

And his opponent Du Yucheng, although he had fallen into the demonic path for not long, under the guidance of the big demon Xiao Huang, he obtained many treasures that Xiao Huang had hidden before after leaving the Wei State, and his cultivation base had already reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, and he had many powerful magic tools in his hands.

Logically speaking, it would not be difficult for Du Yucheng to want to leave Xu Youlong behind in the fight between the two. The reason why Du Yucheng let him escape was also to deliberately hide his strength. This point indeed affected the judgment made by the Law Enforcement Hall of the Carefree Sect after receiving Xu Youlong's request for help later.

Just discovering an ordinary Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, the Carefree Sect naturally would not be too panicked because of this, and directly dispatched Golden Core cultivators to deal with it.

Du Yucheng had stayed in the Carefree Sect for decades, and he also knew some of the styles of the Law Enforcement Hall. If Du Yucheng had directly killed Xu Youlong, the Law Enforcement Hall would not have been able to figure out the situation in Black Stone Valley at once, and it was really possible that it would have alarmed those Golden Core elders who were often in seclusion. After all, Xiao Huang, the big demon, was still suppressed in Black Stone Valley.

Seeing the Carefree Sect crowd attacking, Du Yucheng and the three who had just been fighting looked at each other, immediately put down their temporary grievances, and chose to join forces to fight the enemy.

On the demonic cultivator side, the man in red clothes and Du Yucheng were both very powerful existences among Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even the weakest old man with a long beard was a demonic cultivator whose cultivation base had reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. They were all characters who were not easy to deal with.

The Carefree Sect side sent five people this time. Although they were all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, except for Li Yungong, a strong person who had already cultivated to the peak of Foundation Establishment, the strength of the others did not look very strong, and the one with the highest cultivation base was Bai Yunhua, who had just broken through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment not long ago.

After the two sides met, Li Yungong took the lead and used a thunder fire to rush toward the man in red clothes with the highest cultivation base on the demonic cultivator side.

Seeing that Li Yungong's cultivation was not bad and he was practicing a thunder method that somewhat restrained demonic cultivators, the man in red clothes did not dare to look down on him, and pulled the old man with a long beard to step forward together to stop Li Yungong.

The other Carefree Sect cultivators, under the leadership of Bai Yunhua, faced Du Yucheng and the huge ghost head above his head.

Song Qingming had seen Li Yungong when he participated in the Taiyue Lake secret realm back then. He was already one of the best experts sent by the Carefree Sect into the secret realm at that time, and now this person's strength looked even better than it was back then.

Having entered the Dao and cultivated for many years, Li Yungong's Dao path had always been very smooth. When he was young, he entered the Carefree Sect and worshipped under a Golden Core elder. The Heavenly Fire Thunder Art he practiced was a very powerful cultivation technique. Facing the joint efforts of the man in red clothes and the old man with a long beard, he not only didn't retreat a step but also occupied the upper hand.

Bai Yunhua and the four fought against Du Yucheng's side. At first, the Carefree Sect side was somewhat defeated, and a few people were in a hurry due to the strange gloomy wind of Du Yucheng and that ghost head. Fortunately, Bai Yunhua, the formation master, took out a set of formation flags in time, gathered the few people into one place, and with the help of the formation in his hands, he slowly stabilized the figures of the few people.

After the two sides fought for a while, what surprised everyone was that the first to be unable to support was the man in red clothes and the old man with a long beard who were fighting Li Yungong together.

Li Yungong is a very rare thunder spiritual root cultivator in the cultivation world. Thunder spiritual roots belong to a type of variant spiritual root. The cultivation talent of this type of spiritual root cultivator is second only to the single heavenly spiritual root. Among the tens of thousands of cultivators in the entire Carefree Sect, there are no more than ten variant spiritual root cultivators, and without exception, they are all key cultivation objects of the sect.

Thunder methods are born to somewhat restrain demonic path supernatural powers, and Li Yungong's cultivation base had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. When the man in red clothes' blood mist secret technique touched these scorching thunder lights, most of them turned into smoke and disappeared in the thunder light, making it very difficult to pose any threat to Li Yungong.

The old man with a long beard had already been injured in the previous battle. At this moment, he could only barely exert 60% or 70% of his strength, assisting the man in red clothes to fight Li Yungong on the side.

The man in red clothes and the old man with a long beard saw that Li Yungong was really not easy to deal with, and they didn't want to fight him to the death here. After the two secretly exchanged a look, the man in red clothes suddenly used a red jade tripod and cast a spell to cover Li Yungong in it.

After trapping Li Yungong, the man in red clothes did not choose to continue the attack, but turned into a ball of blood mist and ran directly toward the cave entrance outside with the old man with a long beard on the side.

Demonic cultivators are different from righteous cultivators. Once they encounter opponents that are difficult to deal with, they rarely choose to fight to the end. Facing an opponent like Li Yungong who could endanger their lives, it was not a strange thing for the man in red clothes to choose to flee.

"Demons, don't leave, fight me again."

Just after the two demons left, Li Yungong had already broken free from the red jade tripod. Somewhat angry, he shouted at the position where the man in red clothes and the old man with a long beard left, and then chased after them directly.

Du Yucheng saw that the man in red clothes and the old man with a long beard on that side had fled a step ahead. He looked at the Demon-Suppressing Tower, which was still full of seals, not far away, and ran directly toward the cave entrance with the ghost head, also wanting to flee outside.

The battle between Bai Yunhua and the others and Du Yucheng could only rely on the formation to fight to a draw, and there was no way to stop him.

After looking at Du Yucheng's disappearing back, Bai Yunhua hurriedly came to the Demon-Suppressing Tower deep in the cave and carefully checked the seal here.

Seeing that the seal of the Demon Tower was still intact and Xiao Huang's primordial spirit had not been able to escape from here, Bai Yunhua also let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Because he was somewhat worried that Li Yungong, who was chasing the demonic cultivators, would be besieged by the fleeing demonic cultivators, Bai Yunhua confirmed that there was nothing unusual about the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and hurriedly took a few Carefree Sect cultivators and left here together.

After these people had all left, in the cave that had already become quiet, a gloomy wind suddenly blew, and a ball of pitch-black smoke, the same as the ghost head that followed Du Yucheng and fled, suddenly drilled in from the cave entrance.

This ball of black mist flew to a few zhang away in front of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, suddenly squeezed into a ball, and let out a burst of gloomy laughter.

"Haha! I have been locked up for so many years, and finally I have a chance to see the sun again."
