Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Sensing this overwhelming and powerful aura, the many human cultivators below immediately showed a hint of fear.

The next moment, the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" spread its wings and released two powerful wind blades, which crashed directly into the "Mountain Protection Array" below, creating a deafening roar.

"Don't panic, everyone. Martial Aunt Bai is in the city. She will handle the Demon Emperor. You must protect the great formation."

Seeing the lower-level cultivators below being forced back by the Demon Emperor's attack, several Golden Core elders from the "Free and Unfettered Sect" quickly stepped forward to comfort them.

As Golden Core elders of their sect, they naturally knew that Bai Yuxian was in the valley, so they did not show much worry when they looked at the Demon Emperor in mid-air.

Just as everyone was filled with anticipation, a silver-white figure suddenly flew out from behind them and passed directly through the "mountain-protecting formation" above.

"This is... Uncle-Master Song!"

Standing below the great formation, Luo Qingyun was surprised to see a somewhat familiar figure in front of him.

To everyone's surprise, it wasn't Bai Yuxian who arrived, but Song Qingming, who had been traveling for a long time.

In an instant, Luo Qingyun and the other Golden Core elders of the "Free and Unfettered Sect" all showed a more relaxed smile on their faces.

With Song Qingming, the top fighter of the "Free and Unfettered Sect," present today, the demon army before them is no longer a threat.

"Disciples, listen to my command! Prepare to fight our way out!"

".."

High in the sky, the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" unleashed more than a dozen wind blades in succession, causing the great formation below to shake violently.

Seeing that no one was stopping him, and thinking that the Nascent Soul cultivator might not be there, he immediately flapped his wings again, sending several more wind blades straight towards the "mountain-protecting formation" below.

Just as the wind blades reached the front of the formation, a golden light suddenly blocked their path, transforming into a golden bronze mirror that completely intercepted them.

"Huh! What kind of magical artifact is this?"

Upon seeing the enormous golden bronze mirror before him, which was not one of the magical treasures in Bai Yuxian's hands, the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" immediately showed a look of confusion.

As soon as the aftershocks subsided, a silver-white figure stood proudly in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglu, it's been a long time!"

"Song Qingming, how could it be you!"

Upon seeing the figure speaking before him, who was none other than the long-lost Song Qingming, the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" immediately showed a hint of apprehension.

Before Song Qingming could make a move, the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" immediately unleashed several more wind blades.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, who had just arrived with such imposing momentum, turned around and fled into the distance.

The "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" was only at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul realm and did not possess many powerful offensive abilities, making him not particularly outstanding among the demon emperors.

Previously, when facing Bai Yuxian, who was at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he still needed the help of the "White Dragon Demon Emperor" to barely manage a draw with him.

Facing Song Qingming, whose cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Nascent Soul realm and who had killed several demon emperors and was infamous for his ferocity, the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor," knowing he was no match for him, immediately and decisively chose to retreat.

"Hehe. Fellow Daoist, you've come all this way, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Seeing that the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" was frightened away as soon as they met, Song Qingming, who had blocked the wind blades in front of him, immediately stepped on his escape light and chased after him.

Although the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" is not particularly strong in combat, as a bird demon emperor, he possesses several decent life-saving escape techniques.

Upon discovering that Song Qingming was chasing after him, "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" immediately activated a secret technique, conjuring a gust of wind that covered his body and instantly increasing his speed.

But to his surprise, his usually proud escape technique did not help him get far ahead of his opponent.

Song Qingming, who had been left behind, quickly caught up with the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" by using the "Nine Palaces Meteor Escape" technique.

With a flick of his magic, Song Qingming unleashed several golden beams from the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror," which transformed into ropes that bound the demon emperor in front of him.

The next moment, before the other party could break free, the five bronze mirrors surrounded him.

Just as Song Qingming was fighting the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor", the "White Dragon Demon Emperor", who had been hiding in the back, had also seen everything.

Seeing his companion suddenly trapped, the "White Dragon Demon Emperor" wanted to go up and help him, but before he could get close to the battlefield, he was blocked by Bai Yuxian, who had been watching him all along.

The "White Dragon Demon Emperor" has only been in the Nascent Soul stage for a little over a hundred years, and his cultivation level is only at the second level of the Nascent Soul realm.

His opponent, Bai Yuxian, although he cultivated a wood-attribute technique that focused on defense and recovery, had already reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm, making his combat strength far superior to that of the "White Dragon Demon Emperor".

Faced with Bai Yuxian's full-force obstruction, the "White Dragon Demon Emperor" not only couldn't help, but he himself was also forced to retreat repeatedly and was unable to defend himself. He could only summon many demon kings around him to help.

After using the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" to trap the Azure Heron Demon Queen, Song Qingming quickly summoned the Seven Star Sword Light again in front of him, aiming it at the target below.

The Azure Heron Demon Emperor, who had already sensed the danger, tried his best to dodge the attack, but even though he desperately used his magic to activate his treasure, he was still unable to escape from the Five Elements Divine Light Mirror.

As several sword beams pierced through the Demon Emperor's body, this Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, who had dealt with Song Qingming and his group for hundreds of years, quickly perished on the battlefield.

Although he knew that with the fighting strength of the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor," he might not be able to defeat Song Qingming.

But seeing that the demon emperor at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage had been killed by Song Qingming after only a few dozen rounds, the "White Dragon Demon Emperor" who was fighting Bai Yuxian not far away was truly shocked.

Before Song Qingming could free his hands, sensing that the situation was not good, he immediately took advantage of the cover provided by the army of demonic beasts around him and quickly fled north.

Seeing this, Bai Yuxian naturally didn't want to let her opponent off easily, so she immediately used her magic to chase after him.

She chased him all the way, and although she forced the "White Dragon Demon Emperor" to lose a lot of his essence and blood to escape, he still managed to escape back to the "Golden Feather Mountain" in the north in a close call.

Meanwhile, the demon army below also retreated northward under the strong counterattack of the human cultivators, leaving behind nearly ten thousand demon beast corpses along the way.

Although the human cultivators failed to annihilate the invading demon army in this battle.

However, the news that Song Qingming had killed the "Azure Heron Demon Emperor" on the spot still gave the northern demon race a great shock.

In an instant, all the demon beast armies in the northern region of Wei fled back to the Floating Cloud Mountains, which brought much peace to the previously turbulent northern situation.

After the war, seeing that the demons of "Golden Feather Mountain" in the north had been severely damaged, they dared not harass the south again.

Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming then led some disciples back to their sect, "Guyang Mountain," to prepare to organize another large army of cultivators to head south and support the already precarious front lines of the Lu Kingdom.

".."

One month later, on the front line of "White Meng Mountain" in northern Lu State.

Standing atop a high mountain, Song Qingyu gazed at the vast army of "Tianhai Alliance" cultivators trapped outside the great formation below, a complex expression appearing between her brows.

"Uncle-Master Song, I just received a message from the sect that Senior Brother Fang and his reinforcements have arrived from the north."

Just as Song Qingyu was standing there in a daze, she suddenly heard the news that reinforcements from the north had arrived, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

"Quickly inform Senior Brother Li and Fellow Daoist Chen about this matter, and tell them to be ready at any time to receive reinforcements from the sect!"

After saying that, Song Qingyu immediately turned around and left.

Night is falling!

As three large flying ships slowly sailed from the north under the cover of night, the army of cultivators who had been prepared on "White Meng Mountain" quietly activated the "mountain-protecting formation" and sneaked out.

Once the flying boat reached the airspace above the battlefield, the "Tianhai Alliance" cultivators who were patrolling nearby finally noticed the strange object that had suddenly appeared above.

He immediately shouted and threw various talismans into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

"Oh no, enemy reinforcements have arrived!"

"kill."

Before the Tianhai Alliance cultivators, who were still resting, could react, thousands of cultivators who had come down from Baimeng Mountain had already reached a short distance from their camp.

With the sudden attack of the "White Meng Mountain" cultivator army, the enemy was caught off guard, and the entire "Tianhai Alliance" northern camp was thrown into chaos.

At this moment, the high-level cultivators of the "Tianhai Alliance" quickly reacted and led their army to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy.

At the top of the mountain, Song Qingyu, Chen Yunxiao, and many other Nascent Soul cultivators immediately emerged from the "mountain-protecting formation".

On the "White Meng Mountain" side, there are six Nascent Soul cultivators stationed here: Song Qingyu, Chen Yunxiao, Li Mufeng, Yang Fengyu, Zheng Zitong, and Chu Lingyun.

Apart from Song Qingyu and Chen Yunxiao, who were only at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, the other four were all mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Just as they left the "mountain-protecting formation" and had not yet approached the battlefield, several streaks of light flew in from afar and blocked their way.

"Fellow Daoists, we've kept you waiting!"

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, I didn't expect you to be willing to make such a grand gesture. You really did plan this all along."

Upon seeing the six figures that suddenly appeared before them, everyone's expression immediately changed.

Clearly, the "Tianhai Alliance" was also well-prepared, knowing that they would come out to meet the reinforcements from outside, which is why they ambushed them in advance.

However, the "Tianhai Alliance" side probably did not notify the cultivators below, which is why the chaos on the battlefield below deceived the "Bai Mengshan" group.

"Hehe. As the saying goes, all's fair in war. If I didn't put on a convincing act, how could I have gotten you all out so easily?"

Faced with the ridicule from Song Qingyu and others, the "Tianhai Alliance" led by Yuan Luohua did not pay much attention, but kept their eyes fixed on the front.

"There's no point in saying more. Since we've run into each other today, let's settle this with our skills!" Seeing that they had already clashed head-on with their opponents, Song Qingyu and the others did not choose to back down. They immediately cast spells and began to fight each other.

Although the opposing side had significantly more Nascent Soul cultivators than their own, and the "Heavenly Sea Alliance" had a powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator present,

On paper, they are clearly stronger than "White Mountain".

However, the reinforcements below have not yet joined the cultivators of Bai Meng Mountain. Even if they are no match for their opponents, they must buy them enough time.

As the only late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the "Tianhai Alliance," Yuan Luohua easily suppressed the two strongest cultivators from the "Bai Meng Mountain" side with his own strength.

They are Zheng Zitong, who is holding the "Canglang Ruler", and Yang Fengyu, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Chu Lingyun, who came from the Qin Kingdom to provide support, was surrounded by two Nascent Soul elders from the "Golden Cloud Palace," Yun Xuan and Fairy Chixia.

Although he was fighting two opponents, Chu Lingyun was fortunate to have a powerful magic weapon bestowed upon him by Zhao Wuling, which allowed him to barely cope with the two opponents' combined attack for a time.

Li Mufeng's opponents are Zhou Zhihe, the Supreme Elder of the Divine Fire Sect, and another person whose identity is not revealed by wearing a mask.

Zhou Zhihe, like Li Mufeng, was also a veteran Nascent Soul Level 5 cultivator.

Another masked man, who was skilled with flying swords and resembled a sword cultivator, had a cultivation level that was significantly lower than the other two, only at the third level of the Nascent Soul realm. However, his combat skills were not much weaker than those of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Li Mufeng's injuries from the previous battles had not yet fully healed.

Facing the combined attack of two cultivators whose strength was not much weaker than his own, he felt considerable pressure and could only rely on his relatively experienced combat skills to hold on on the battlefield.

The Nascent Soul Level 3 cultivator who fought Chen Yunxiao was named Zhang Yuping. His sect, "Thunder Sect," was a Nascent Soul sect that had only emerged two hundred years ago in the Tianhai cultivation world.

The two were roughly equal in cultivation level and strength, but Chen Yunxiao was temporarily at a disadvantage because his magic weapon was slightly inferior to his opponent's.

The young man who fought Song Qingyu in the end was Xiao Haoran, one of the three Nascent Soul elders of the Qingyang Sect.

Xiao Haoran also successfully formed his Nascent Soul two hundred years ago. Back then, he and Song Qingming had entered the "Wind and Thunder Island" secret realm to seize treasures.

As the former number one Golden Core cultivator in the "Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World", he successfully condensed his Nascent Soul shortly after that secret realm, and his cultivation has now reached the fifth level of Nascent Soul.

Although Song Qingyu possessed several powerful magic treasures, her strength was not much weaker than that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, her opponent, Xiao Haoran, is also the most outstanding genius cultivator in the "Tianhai Immortal Cultivation World" in recent centuries.

The two have clashed many times over the years, and Xiao Haoran has generally come out on top. This time is no exception.

While numerous Nascent Soul cultivators were engaged in battle in the sky, three large flying boats not far below had already rushed to the center of the battlefield, not far from the "White Meng Mountain" cultivator army that had come to provide support.

Just as the two sides were about to converge, several golden beams of light suddenly appeared on the ground below, transforming into four barriers that surrounded all three flying boats in mid-air.

Suddenly, another Nascent Soul cultivator dressed in white robes appeared in mid-air, heading straight for the flying boat above. He controlled a flying sword magic weapon in his hand and released several fierce sword lights towards the flying boat in front of him.

At this critical moment, a white-clad figure also flashed into the air above the flying boat, using his magical artifact to block all the sword light.

After exchanging blows, the two quickly and tacitly flew into the sky, leaving the battlefield to the other cultivators below.

"Everyone, you must hold the great formation and not let them escape!"

Seeing their Nascent Soul Ancestor suddenly entangled by the opponent, the many Golden Core cultivators of the "Heavenly Sea Alliance" below were surprised, but they quickly commanded their army to continue attacking the three flying boats trapped by the formation.

Currently, the "Tianhai Alliance" clearly holds the advantage on the entire battlefield.

As long as they can hold the great formation firmly and trap these flying ships, even if they cannot destroy them for a while, the enemy will definitely not be able to hold out for long.

Once their own Nascent Soul cultivators are free, victory will surely return to their side.

But just as the "Tianhai Alliance" was commanding its army of cultivators to attack the flying ship, a terrifying aura had already gathered on the deck at the very front of the flying ship.

Suddenly, a sword light flew out, and the next moment, the many "Tianhai Alliance" cultivators who were casting spells to control the great formation felt a chill.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the barrier that had been blocking the airship's path shattered into fragments and vanished into thin air as the sword light passed through.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of low-level cultivators from the "Tianhai Alliance" who were responsible for casting spells were all blasted away by the sword energy at the same moment, and more than half of them died or were injured on the spot.

Those who still had a breath left were lying motionless on the ground, unable to stand up at all.

"Oh no! This is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and there are even more Nascent Soul cultivators above!"

Upon witnessing such a stunning attack, the numerous "Tianhai Alliance" cultivators who were besieging the flying boat were immediately startled and involuntarily took several steps back.

The three flying boats that were originally trapped by the formation quickly took this opportunity to break through the barrier of the "Tianhai Alliance" cultivators and move towards the location of the cultivators who came to meet them.

"Everyone, rush over there! As long as we reunite with Senior Brother Zhou and the others, we'll be out of danger!"

By the time the many Golden Core cultivators of the "Tianhai Alliance" reacted, several flying boats had already broken through the blockade of the cultivator army in front. They could only hurriedly lead their men to chase after them and try to hold off the enemy.

But before they could get close to the airship, several sword lights flew out from the airship's location again.

The two Golden Core elders of the "Tianhai Alliance" who were at the forefront were killed by the sword light before they could react, shocking everyone behind them once again.

Before long, several flying boats successfully crossed the battlefield and joined up with the "White Meng Mountain" cultivator army that had come to meet them. Everyone immediately covered the flying boats as they retreated back.

Seeing that the flying boat below had successfully entered "White Meng Mountain", the many Nascent Soul cultivators who were fighting in the sky quickly retreated to the "mountain protection formation" behind them.

Unable to stop the enemy, the "Tianhai Alliance" could only look at the great formation in front of them and sigh helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you just said that the one you fought was Bai Yuxian. Who was the other one who broke the formation? Could it be that Ye Linyuan from the Starry Sky Sect also came?"

"Although I didn't see who this person was just now, the fact that he could shatter my level four array with a single blow is something that Ye Linyuan, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the fourth level, could not have done."

If I'm not mistaken, this person's supernatural abilities are probably far superior to ours, and he's already not much weaker than Senior Brother Yuan.

"What did you say? Is this person also at the late Nascent Soul stage? Didn't Zhao Wuling already perish? Where in the Floating Cloud Mountains are there any late Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Upon hearing the explanation from the middle-aged cultivator beside him, the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the "Heavenly Sea Alliance" present all showed a hint of surprise, clearly somewhat disbelieving the result.

After a moment, Yuan Luohua frowned and said, "Zhao Wuling failed to advance to the Nascent Soul stage last time. Even if he didn't perish, he wouldn't be able to act freely in his current state."

Moreover, Junior Brother Wang only said that this person had supernatural abilities no weaker than those of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator; he did not actually mean that the person who came was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Have you all forgotten that there's still a powerful being in the Floating Cloud Mountains who hasn't shown up yet?

"His supernatural abilities are no weaker than those of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Could Fellow Daoist Yuan be referring to Song Qingming of the Free and Unfettered Sect? Does this person truly possess such formidable supernatural abilities?"

Faced with the incredulous looks on everyone's faces, Yuan Luohua calmly replied:
"Back then, Song Qingming's cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, yet he was able to slay the Ink Dragon Demon Emperor with his sword and severely injure the Cloud-Breaking Ancestor. You must have all heard these rumors about him!"
Although this matter sounds somewhat unbelievable to me, if it really was him who made the move today, I think this rumor is most likely not a hoax.

This person must either possess some powerful supernatural ability or be someone who has acquired extraordinary treasures; we must not underestimate him.

When I heard last time that Song Qingming had gone on a trip, I thought he wouldn't be back for a while. I never expected that he would come back at this time!
With this guy around, taking over Baimeng Mountain won't be so easy for us anymore.

After speaking, Yuan Luohua, who seemed to be deep in thought, had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please don't worry so much. Even if Song Qingming's supernatural abilities are enough to contend with a great cultivator, he may not be as powerful as the rumors suggest."

"We currently have a numerical advantage. As long as the Jade Sword Sect's reinforcements arrive on time, taking Bai Meng Mountain will not be difficult!"

"Fellow Daoist Yun is right. The other side has only one more person, Song Qingming. Why should we be afraid of this person? When the reinforcements arrive, we will definitely be able to take down the State of Lu."

".."

"What you fellow Daoists say is true. I am merely worried about the many losses that will follow. How could I possibly be afraid of them?"

Moreover, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for our Tianhai Alliance. We've already come this far, so why should we turn back?

I will handle Song Qingming from now on; you all just need to do your best to hold off the other opponents.

And Fellow Daoist Han, could you please urge Fellow Daoist He and the others to check on their whereabouts?

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Yuan, I will go back and deliver the message right away!"

After discussing it for a while, the members of the "Tianhai Alliance" quickly dispersed and disappeared from the spot.

".."

At the summit of "White Meng Mountain," Song Qingyu, who had just returned from the battlefield, disregarded the minor injuries on her body and quickly arrived at the location of the large flying boat at the foot of the mountain.

Upon seeing Bai Yuxian not far away, Song Qingyu hurriedly ran over and asked with a happy expression, "Senior Sister Bai, you've finally arrived."

"By the way, where's Seventh Brother?"

In response to Song Qingyu's question, Bai Yuxian shook her head and replied, "Qingyu, Junior Brother Song did not come with me this time."

However, he asked me to bring someone to see you!

As Bai Yuxian pointed, Ling Zhentian, who was standing not far away, walked over to where the two were.

"Are you Fellow Daoist Qingyu?"
