Journey to the head

Although the invasion of hundreds of underground tribes did not last long, it still caused considerable damage to the Yuheng Continent, especially the inland states of the continent that were directly invaded by the demon tribe. Although peace has arrived, the heavy losses are difficult to recover.

Take Qingzhou for example, the attack by three demon tribes led by General Banshan dealt a heavy blow to the local sects in Qingzhou.

The Battle of Qingzhou can be divided into three stages.

First, a large-scale demon tribe launched a swift attack. Their overall strength was much stronger than that of Qingzhou. The weak sects were directly destroyed, and those with a little strength suffered heavy losses and could only defend the mountain gates. The demon tide was so dense that transportation between counties was cut off. Even a few Nascent Soul sects were surrounded and killed in a small area.

The second stage was when the Cangzhou coalition led by the Yunshan School brazenly marched north to eliminate demons and broke into Qingzhou. They used their powerful fighting force to eliminate the demons and revitalized the situation in Qingzhou. With the support of local sects, they gradually wiped out the demon atmosphere and wiped out all the demon forces.

The third stage is the return of Kui Kui. General Banshan is free to defeat the gathering Qingzhou coalition forces, and then attack Mengyu Mountain. At the same time, Feizhi and Youlong arrive, and together with Kui Kui, they break through Liangyi Mountain and massacre the Ciji Sect. Then several great demons with Yuanshen fight a decisive battle with Yunshan Sect.

After this battle, the strength of each sect was greatly damaged, even more serious than Cangzhou, which had suffered from the rebellion of the banned religion and the disaster of the corpse clan!

Because no grass grows wherever the monster tide passes, most of the small sects that build foundations and practice Qi are directly destroyed by the monster tide!
The underground beasts, which were a hundred times more numerous than the real demons, became the nightmare of ordinary people. When the beast tide passed through, the counties, towns, and villages along the way instantly turned into Shura fields, and all ordinary people became food for the beasts.

Except for a few villages hidden in the mountains, most of the mortal settlements were slaughtered by the beast tide.

In the disaster of corpse tide, six or seven out of ten mortals in Cangzhou died, while in the disaster of monster beasts, eight or nine out of ten mortals in Qingzhou died!

The foundation of the world of cultivation was destroyed, and at the same time, a large number of small sects were destroyed, and a huge fault appeared in the world of cultivation in Qingzhou!
Those Jindan and Yuanying sects also suffered heavy losses. Many Jindan sects directly lost their Jindan and fell to the level of foundation-building sects.

Originally there were six Nascent Soul Sects in Qingzhou, but two of them were wiped out after this battle.

One of them was the weakest, having lost its only Nascent Soul in the first stage. The other was even more pitiful, having been strong to begin with, and offering its own mountain gate, Lingyuan Valley, to summon the Qingzhou coalition, hoping to elevate its status after this battle. However, the Mountain Moving General led four Nascent Soul monsters in a surprise attack, directly killing the coalition and killing all of his Nascent Souls.

There are four Nascent Soul sects left, and only Baoqing Sect and Sanjie Sect have two Nascent Souls left, while Jiusu Sect and Yinfu Sect only have one Nascent Soul left each.

In short, except for the Ci Ji Sect, all the sects in Qingzhou lost a total of ten Nascent Soul Spirit Lords, more than 140 Golden Core True Immortals, and countless others who were building their foundation and practicing Qi!
If we talk about the losses of individual sects, looking across Qingzhou, the sect that suffered the greatest losses was the formerly strongest and controlling sect, the Ci Ji Sect.

In order to resist the siege of General Banshan, the Ci Ji Sect gathered all the elite members of the sect on Liang Yi Mountain for defense, including one Yuan Shen, six Yuan Ying, and nearly a hundred Jin Dan Zhenren.

As a result, the three-headed demon spirit broke through the Liangyi Mountain, and the demon army that had surrounded the Liangyi Mountain rushed forward. The originally solid fortress became a deadly place where no one could escape!
If Lord Sinan Xuan had not desperately opened a gap before his death, the Ci Ji Sect would have been destroyed here.

But even if a small number of elite members of the Ci Ji Sect broke through and escaped, they were still chased by several Nascent Soul Demons. The last Nascent Soul Spirit Lord, Ze Ze Ling Jun, died on the way to escape.

Later, when the news spread that the four great demon souls were killed by the Yunshan Sect, the remaining demons fled back underground in panic, finally leaving their last breath for the Ciji Sect.

When the only remaining Jindan Zhenren of the Ci Ji Sect returned to Liangyi Mountain to gather the escaped disciples, he felt so sad and heartbroken after taking inventory. For a moment, he even felt that death would be more palatable.

Of the former Qingzhou overlord, the Ci Ji Sect, there are only three Jindan cultivators left, more than twenty foundation-building cultivators, and less than two thousand Qi training cultivators!
Such a tragic situation is truly horrifying. And looking at the vast Qingzhou's 43 counties, it is now completely empty, with many uninhabited spiritual veins where only wild animals roam.

The monks of various sects not only had to gather their disciples and rescue and heal the wounded, but they also had to mobilize to clean up the corpses of monsters, animals, and humans that were scattered throughout the states and counties and piled up on the fields. Otherwise, the plague would spread, the undead would breed, and the few remaining people would all die.

Looking around the four prefectures, Qingzhou was the worst hit. Although other prefectures such as Luzhou, Jinzhou, and Sizhou were also invaded by the demons, at least the sects that controlled the Yuanshen Sect were able to hold on, so the overall losses were not that serious.

And in the midst of the chaos, the second Weiyuan Shenzhou allocated by the Yunshan Sect had arrived. Lu Qian led his disciples to load the sacrificed heroes onto the Shenzhou and returned with their coffins.

Quyang County will be temporarily handed over to the Yuehua Sect and Wang Yu's five Jindan corpses for garrison.

Originally, from a legal point of view, except for the Yunshan ancestral vein, the Yunshan Sect had no ownership even if it occupied Quyang. Even if it was the Yunshan ancestral vein, the Ciji Sect might have to argue with the Yunshan Sect again.

But now the Ci Ji Sect has directly fallen into the status of a Jindan Sect and cannot even protect its own status, so how could it bother with the affairs of Quyang County? Instead, it should pray that Lu Qian does not come to cause trouble.

After all, with their current situation, they control the five counties of the original magnetic pole sect, many high-level spiritual veins, and the six-level intermediate Liangyi Mountain, which is like a child holding gold in the world. All they can do now is to move out the immortal scroll and report to Taiyi Paradise to ask for help.

If the disciples were in good condition, Lu Qian might really go to Liangyi Mountain. However, the Yunshan Sect had suffered heavy losses now, and Lu Qian felt that his energy was weakening and his morale was greatly reduced. He decided to wait until Taiyi Paradise set the tone for the order in Qingzhou before making a decision.

The Yuehua Sect also suffered heavy losses in this battle, with almost half of its disciples dying in the battle of souls.

In order to commend Yuehua Sect for its contribution in helping Yunshan Sect regain its ancestral bloodline, as well as its hard work in monitoring Quyang County for more than a hundred years, and to make up for the losses in this battle, the Elders' Council discussed and decided to upgrade Yuehua Sect to a partner sect of Yunshan Sect, allowing it to enjoy the transcendent status, all rights, and development support of a partner sect.

Yuehua Sect will replace Yunshan to rule over the remaining sects in Quyang County. At the same time, Yuehua Sect will be compensated with a large amount of training and development materials, as well as magic weapon embryos, secret treasures, high-end secret books, etc.

Bai Ling was satisfied with these rewards. She knew in her heart that the Yunshan Sect's partner sect was already an over-compensation. She firmly believed that in the future, Qingzhou would respect Yunshan, and she, as the Yunshan Sect's partner sect, would be able to walk sideways in Qingzhou, and even the Yuanying Sect would have to respect it.

She originally wanted to request to follow Lu Qian back south to pay a visit to Biluo Peak, but was rejected by Lu Qian on the grounds that everything was unsettled and the territory was in turmoil, and asked her to guard Quyang temporarily.

The news of Yunshan Sect's return to the south also spread, and visitors kept coming along the way. The four remaining Yuanying Sects in Qingzhou came to visit one by one. They were all the leaders of their respective sects. Seeing Lu Qian's flattering tone, some other Jindan Sects were even more humble and completely put themselves in the position of subordinates.

Because for other provinces, everything may still be just a legend, but for these local sects, they all know clearly that the Yunshan Sect really killed four great demon spirits!
The corpses of four giant monsters as big as four mountains lay across the desert of Mengyu Mountain. The disciples of Yunshan were as busy as groups of ants, dismembering them.

Such a scene shocked countless monks who came to inquire about the situation. However, how it was done was still a matter of debate. The most outrageous one was that Lu Qian, the head of Yunshan, used his magical powers to revive Jichuan Xuanjun, who had been dead for more than 2,000 years!
No one was willing to believe this statement, and everyone would rather believe that Yunshan Sect actually hid a Yuanshen fighter. But as the master of a state, how could Yuanshen be hidden in Yunshan Sect? This was really an inexplicable contradiction.

So the story was passed around, and in the end it turned out that Lu Qian was actually the son of a big shot in Taiyi Paradise. He didn't want to hide under his father's protection, so he ran away to gain experience and start a business. Therefore, Taiyi Paradise attached great importance to Yunshan Sect, and even secretly sent Yuanshen Xuanjun and even Lianxu Zhenjun to help Yunshan Sect.

That sounds quite logical.

Lu Qian did not explain and completely let all kinds of rumors and even lies spread. Because the matter of Jichuan Xuanjun's brief resurrection and the suppression of the three monsters was seen by all the disciples of Yunshan, Yuehua Sect, Lingxuan, Lianyi and others. How could they prevent the secret from being leaked? Let them say whatever they want.

But no matter what the story turns out to be, the Yunshan Sect killed four great spirit demons, and its combat power is even stronger than that of the Ci Ji Sect in the past!
In addition, Yunshan's ancestral vein and cave heaven belong to it. Although Yunshan Sect has temporarily returned to the south, it will definitely return to Qingzhou in the future. If this trend continues, the future lord of Qingzhou will most likely be Yunshan!

Shouldn't we take this opportunity to build some connections and show our loyalty?
After returning to the territory, the Yunshan Sect focused on two things.

The first is the burial and compensation of the sacrificed disciples, and the recuperation and arrangements of the seriously injured disciples.

After a round of adjustments and selection from other sequences, Yunshan Sect only had three combat battalions left, namely "Lingsha", "Mianlong" and "Hanjiang", with 1,800 people. The original "Bichao" combat battalion was completely abolished. In the future, combat battalions will be formed with existing spiritual vein names such as "Zangying" and "Biluo".

Seeing the tragic losses suffered by the Yunshan Sect, all the sects in Cangzhou were still in shock.

The various sects that followed Yunshan and chose to go out to fight against the monsters lost a total of eight high-level Jindan warriors and seriously injured two. Among them, Dongping County Guangyao Sect and Yunshan's Shouzhu Sect both fell from Jindan Sect to Foundation Establishment Sect.

Other grassroots disciples, including the airships and wind-controlling beasts that went into battle, also suffered heavy losses.

But when they heard about the brutality of the final battle, they were glad that they had returned to Cangzhou before that. Otherwise, even the Yunshan Sect would have been covered in mourning. If they had stayed, several Jindan sects would have been stripped of their status.

The second is to count the monster cores and calculate the points.

Before the decisive battle, the points earned by the Cangzhou coalition forces had been distributed to various sects, and the Yunshan Sect received more than 20,000 points.

In the decisive battle, with the help of Wuliang Xuanjun, Miaomiao Xuanjun, Xichan Taoist, Lingxuan Lingjun and Lianyi Lingjun, the Yunshan Sect successively killed General Banshan and three other great Yuanshen monsters and four Yuanying monsters.

According to the calculation that one Yuanying demon clan member counts as 800 points, and one Yuanshen demon clan member counts as 12,000 points, the total points are 51,200 points.

Although most of the credit belongs to Yunshan Sect, or Jichuan Xuanjun, the support and help of allies are indispensable. For example, at the last moment, if Taoist Wuxichan, Lingxuan Lingjun and Lianyi Lingjun distracted Feizhi and Youlong, Lu Qian would not have the opportunity to use the fourth magical power.

In short, after discussions with various sects, Yunshan Sect finally received 35,000 points, and the remaining points were distributed among the other sects.

Then, there were some unexpected messengers from the Yuanshen sect in Luzhou, Shuyu Temple.

They brought the demon core that Jichuan Xuanjun obtained when he killed two great demon spirits.

"Is that person really the Jichuan Xuanjun from more than 2,000 years ago?" The visiting Yuanying envoy was still shocked. "Even if he announced his name, we would find it hard to believe. How could this hero from more than 2,000 years ago come back to life?"

Moreover, in front of them, he suppressed two great spirit demons with the flip of his hand, broke the siege of Shuyu Temple, and then floated away and disappeared without a trace.

Shuyu Temple didn't know where Jichuan Xuanjun had gone, but facing such an existence, they didn't dare to take the two demon cores for granted, so they just sent them to Yunshan.

Lu Qian took the demon core and nodded with a smile: "It is him. As for the resurrection, there is another mystery, please forgive me for not telling you."

Lu Qian did not explain any of the mysteries of this battle or Jichuan Xuanjun's condition.

In addition to Qingzhou, Jichuan Xuanjun also appeared in Luzhou to help Shuyu Temple kill the powerful enemy, which would spread another rumor. At that time, there would be many different opinions, and there would be all kinds of outrageous statements.

But the more confused the rumor becomes, the more beneficial it is to the Yunshan Sect.

The Yuanying Envoy nodded in understanding, and smiled even more brightly: "The Yunshan Sect has helped me out of my predicament, which is a great favor to me. My Shuyu Temple is also a famous and upright sect, so how can I not want to repay you?"

"It's just that everyone in the world knows that Yunshan is rich, and our sect doesn't know what to give. In this case, we will give all the points we have gained in this battle to Yunshan. If your sect needs anything, you can exchange it with Taiyi Paradise."

"At the same time, our sect is willing to deepen exchanges and cooperation with the Yunshan Sect, as well as trade and commerce, and become friendly sects. How about the envoys I bring to discuss the specific matters with your sect?"

Lu Qian gladly accepted it and asked the envoy to go down and rest. He also asked the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Business, and the General Staff to work together to formulate a cooperation project with Shuyu Temple.

After Xuanwei Sect and Xinghai Sect, Yunshan Sect now has one more Yuanshen sect on good terms with.

So far, the Yunshan Sect has gained a total of more than 90,000 points in the battle to eliminate demons!

If all of them were used to exchange for innate elixirs to improve cultivation, they would be enough to exchange for nearly sixty pieces!

On the basis of enduring the poison of the elixir, three elixirs can make the initial stage of the golden elixir go straight to the golden elixir perfection. These sixty elixirs
Every member of the Yunshan Sect has a golden elixir and they still can't use it all! (End of this chapter)
