Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Ultimately, it has only been a little over a hundred years since Song Qingming advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Although his cultivation speed is not slow and he has reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm, and he has many magic treasures and puppets, his strength is not weak among late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

But in terms of supernatural powers and combat experience, how could the person before him compare to himself, a demon emperor who had cultivated for two thousand years?

"I thought you had some skill, but it seems you're nothing special!"

Just when the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" thought he had successfully suppressed his opponent and was about to drive Song Qingming into a corner.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the battlefield, a purple light suddenly burst forth from Song Qingming's body.

The next moment, a flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared around the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor," and countless dazzling red lights shone on his body.

The "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" saw nothing but whiteness, and just like Song Qingming, he was suddenly deprived of his sight and hearing.

I can't see or hear anything.

"This is spatial teleportation."

Faced with such a familiar feeling, "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" immediately realized that he had unknowingly fallen into the trap he had just set for Song Qingming.

With a look of surprise on his face, before he could even figure out what had happened, he immediately cast a spell to withdraw the countless red lights that were wrapped around him.

As the spiritual light dissipated, the scene around the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" quickly returned to normal.

Meanwhile, in mid-air not far away, Song Qingming, who had just been suppressed by him, had already disappeared without a trace.

Just as the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" released his divine sense to explore the surroundings, he sensed something amiss and looked up.

At this moment, a huge circular magic seal was rapidly taking shape in the sky.

Wielding the "Golden Cloud Light Sword," Song Qingming sent the giant golden sword flying into the seal above, instantly unleashing a powerful pressure that enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Seven Star Sword Light, fall!"

Before the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" could react, a massive sword beam descended rapidly from the sky, carrying overwhelming momentum as it hurtled towards its opponent.

Under the shadow of the sword light, the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" had no time to dodge and immediately cast a spell to create a sharp claw to meet the falling sword light head-on.

Although the first sword beam was easily blocked, the second and third sword beams quickly followed.

Seven sword beams shot out in succession, casting a white light over the center of the battlefield, accompanied by a continuous series of booming sounds.

Once the sword light had completely disappeared, a crimson figure quickly flashed away, landing in mid-air hundreds of feet away from the battlefield.

At this moment, the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" has revealed his true form as the "Five-Tailed Heavenly Fox," and a golden gourd magic weapon the size of a palm has appeared beside him.

Although many parts of his body were still charred black, he appeared somewhat disheveled amidst the opponent's array of sword beams.

However, the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" was not affected in any way, and his gaze toward Song Qingming was still very sharp.

Song Qingming's gaze was fixed on the "golden gourd" magic weapon in front of the other party.

Song Qingming had also seen this treasure before; it was a special magical artifact with extremely powerful supernatural abilities.

Back then, the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" easily annihilated a large number of "White Bone Yin Souls" summoned by the six Heavenly Foxes with this treasure, and made a great contribution in that battle.

Although he had never directly confronted this treasure, Song Qingming could tell that it was of a high quality, at least a replica of a spiritual treasure.

Seeing that the other party was able to directly withstand his "Seven Star Sword Light Formation" with this treasure, Song Qingming's eyes also showed a hint of fear.

"It's been so many years, and you've certainly improved a lot in your skills, fellow Daoist."

I never imagined that such a powerful figure as you would exist in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Your human cultivators truly are full of talented individuals.

No wonder our demon race has suffered repeated defeats and lost so much territory in recent years.

"I am but a humble human cultivator, and I am not very talented. How dare I accept such praise from you, fellow Daoist?"

The demon race has been waging wars in the south every year, and these territories were also seized from our human cultivators by you. Now, it can be considered that they have been returned to their rightful owner.

"Returning it to its rightful owner, hahaha."

"To tell you the truth, the reason why the human race in the Floating Cloud Mountains has been able to survive for the past ten thousand years is simply because our demon race has never taken you ants seriously."

"How dare you make such boastful remarks before me?"

As soon as the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" finished speaking, his five tails suddenly emitted a burst of red light and quickly hurled several sharp blades at Song Qingming, who was not far away.

Meanwhile, Song Qingming, positioned on one side of the battlefield, also wielded his "Golden Palace Cloud Light Sword" with incredible speed, sending several sword beams hurtling towards his opponent.

The two sides clashed again, engaging in a fierce battle.

Song Qingming possessed many high-level magic treasures. Back in the "Black Wind Sea," he had even forced Qi Guangchun, a cultivator at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, to retreat in a direct confrontation.

In terms of strength, he is now a top-tier expert who is no less powerful than a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" possesses strange and unpredictable supernatural powers, and also carries a golden gourd whose power is no less than that of the "Golden Palace Cloud Light Sword".

His combat prowess also ranks among the top demon emperors in the Northern Frontier.

The two were not far apart in skill, and the battle lasted for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner.

Seeing that most of their magical power had been used up, Song Qingming and the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" decided to temporarily end the battle and retreat to their respective camps.

Just as Song Qingming withdrew the protective array of "Qingfeng Mountain", the demon army surrounding it failed to break through the array and also began to retreat.

Not long after, Song Qingyu, Song Linrui, Bai Jingyun, and the others quickly returned to the great formation.

Song Qingyu, by taking on two demon emperors alone, gained a considerable advantage.

Although they had already witnessed the immense power of Song Qingyu's "Mysterious Netherworld Sword Dragon" in the previous battle.

The "Mad Lion Demon Emperor" and the "White Dragon Demon Emperor" were on guard against her during their fight and dared not give her a chance to unleash this move easily.

However, even with the combined strength of the two demon emperors, there was still a significant gap in power between them and Song Qingyu.

After a fierce battle, both the "Mad Lion Demon Emperor" and the "White Dragon Demon Emperor" were still defeated.

If it weren't for the crucial moment when the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" used magic to block Song Qingyu's sword, the weaker "White Dragon Demon Emperor" would most likely have perished on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Bai Jingyun and his group below clashed with the demon army of "Raging Wind Ridge," resulting in losses on both sides.

The first day of fighting between the two sides did not produce a decisive victory, but each side left thousands of corpses on the battlefield.

After instructing Bai Jingyun and the others to clean up the battlefield, Song Qingyu quickly found Song Qingming standing on the city wall.

"Seventh Brother, are you alright? Who was that demon king you just fought? This demon is so powerful, could he also be from the Northern Frontier?"

"The Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor is the young master of the Northern Frontier Heavenly Fox Clan. Boyun Mountain used to be a vassal of them. I never expected that this monster turmoil would alarm them."

It seems this southward invasion by the demon race is not as simple as it appears.

I thought that after killing the "Cloud-Clearing Demon Emperor" a hundred years ago, the demons in the northern part of the Floating Cloud Mountains were no longer a threat.

Before the outbreak of the war, Song Qingming, like most people, thought that this turmoil would end quickly like the last one and would not cause too much of a stir.

Unexpectedly, his killing of the "Cloud-Clearing Demon Emperor" had alarmed the Northern Frontier Heavenly Fox Clan, making them somewhat uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyu, who was standing to the side, was also surprised.

"What? This guy is really from the Northern Frontier Heavenly Fox Clan? Shouldn't they be going to the Eastern Phoenix Kingdom? Why did they suddenly go south to the Floating Cloud Mountains to join the war?"

Compared to the demon forces in the "Boyun Mountain" and "Kuangfeng Ridge" mountain ranges, these are relatively weak.

The "Heavenly Fox Clan" is one of the ten great demon clans of the Northern Frontier, and its strength is far greater.

The clan not only has a half-step Nascent Soul expert like the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor," but also has as many as twenty or thirty Nascent Soul level Demon Emperors.

In the past, during the "Monster Uprising" that occurred once every hundred years, the ten major demon clans of the Northern Frontier would fight with all their might against the "Eastern Phoenix Kingdom," and the human sects would rarely go south to participate in the battle of the "Floating Cloud Mountains."

Upon hearing that a master from the "Heavenly Fox Clan" had appeared on the Qingfeng Mountain battlefield, Song Qingyu was somewhat incredulous, and her expression became solemn.

"Seventh Brother, I just asked Lin Rui and the others. Apart from the Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor, the ones coming down are all old rivals from the Mad Wind Ridge area. I haven't seen the Heavenly Fox Clan's demon beast army."

"Could the sudden arrival of the Tailed Demon King alone be a deliberate smokescreen, designed to force us to leave this place?"

"When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. Regardless of whether the Heavenly Fox Clan moves south or not, we have few options but to fight and repel the enemy."

Qingyu, quickly send a message to the sect to inform Senior Sister Bai and the others that the Heavenly Fox Clan may have already intervened in this turmoil.

Everyone must be extremely careful.

Standing atop the walls of Qingfeng Mountain, gazing at the battlefield outside the city stained with blood, Song Qingming couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If it is true, as Song Qingyu said, that only the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" has come, then I should be able to restrain him.

If the enemy is not bluffing, and the entire army of the "Heavenly Fox Clan" has already marched south, it will surely be a huge disaster for the "Free and Unfettered Sect" and all the human cultivators in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

They will probably have to try to seek help from other cultivation worlds in order to get through this turmoil.

Just as Song Qingming and Song Qingyu were confronting the demon army led by the "Heavenly Tail Demon Emperor" at "Qingfeng Mountain".

Along the northern border of the entire "Floating Cloud Mountain Range," all the major spiritual mountain markets were successively attacked by the southward-moving demon army.

In an instant, flames of war rose everywhere, and the flames of war raged on and on.

"Golden Feather Mountain," within the protective array of the mountain.

Li Mufeng, "Wind Ape", Bai Yuxian, and Zhou Ziyang, who had just formed his Nascent Soul, were all four Nascent Soul Grand Elders of their sects who had arrived at the front lines.

Because the demon beast army had marched south ahead of schedule, and the situation at the front lines had changed drastically, Bai Yuxian and Zhou Ziyang had long since abandoned their seclusion. Standing below them were thirty Golden Core elders from various sects, as well as an army of over 20,000 cultivators from the "Xiaoyao Sect" who had gathered from all over the Wei Kingdom.

Outside the "mountain-protecting formation," countless demonic beast armies had already surrounded the entire Golden Feather Mountain.

In addition to the native demon race of the Floating Cloud Mountains, led by their old rival "Boyun Mountain", the demon army also includes many demons from the "Northern Frontier".

In mid-air, beside the "Ancient Cloud Demon Emperor" and the "Wood Cloud Demon Emperor", there were five new faces with powerful auras.

These five demon emperors were experts from the "Heavenly Fox Clan" who had come from the "Northern Frontier" specifically to participate in the battle.

Of the seven Nascent Soul Demon Emperors on the demon race's side, four were at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

On the other hand, apart from Bai Yuxian and Li Mufeng, Feng Yuan and Zhou Ziyang had not been in the Nascent Soul stage for long, and their combat abilities were relatively weak.

Even with the help of the "Mountain Protection Formation," Li Mufeng and his group, outnumbered four to seven, were still no match for the enemy.

Looking at the seven Nascent Soul Demon Emperors eyeing them menacingly outside the "Mountain Protection Formation," everyone's faces turned grim, and they dared not easily go out to fight them.

Outside the great formation, the "Ancient Cloud Demon Emperor," who had been beaten by the "Free and Unfettered Sect" for over a hundred years and dared not leave his home, has finally found the power to take revenge.

As dawn broke, the "Ancient Cloud Demon Emperor" led his demon army in another attack on the protective formation of Golden Feather Mountain.

"Uncle-Master Li, a letter from Uncle-Master Song of Chiyun Mountain!"

After taking the letter from the disciple in front of him, Li Mufeng opened it, but his expression tightened.

"Senior Brother Li, how is Junior Brother Song doing? Have they run into trouble too?"

"A Nascent Soul Peak Demon Emperor has also appeared on the front line of Qingfeng Mountain. This person should be there specifically to restrain Junior Brother Song."

"It seems our earlier assessment was correct; the Celestial Fox Clan's southward journey was indeed aimed at us." Faced with Bai Yuxian's question, Li Mufeng sighed and quickly handed over the letter in his hand.

Having learned that the "Heavenly Fox Clan" had gone south to participate in the war, they originally intended to send a message to "Red Cloud Mountain" to ask Song Qingming for help.

Unexpectedly, a demon expert also appeared on the front line of "Qingfeng Mountain", and Song Qingming and his companion are now finding it difficult to extricate themselves.

Looking at the letter in her hand and the army of demonic beasts still attacking the formation outside, Bai Yuxian frowned.

"Since Junior Brother Song and the others cannot leave, we can only hold this position and wait for reinforcements."

Quickly send a message to Ziyan, and also to the major sects in the south, such as the Tianji Sect and the Yuxiao Sect, urging them to send troops north to provide assistance.

Also, inform the Starry Sky Sect to keep a close watch on Taiyue Lake and be wary of the Iron Wall Demon Emperor.

Although they are temporarily unable to repel the demon army outside, there is still a level four mid-grade "mountain protection formation" personally set up by Bai Yuxian on "Golden Feather Mountain".

It won't be easy for the demon army to break through here in a short time.

As long as Bai Yuxian and the others can hold "Golden Feather Mountain" and wait for reinforcements from the major sects in the south to arrive, they will be able to successfully repel the demon army.

Seeing that the demon army outside had once again begun to attack the "mountain-protecting formation," Bai Yuxian immediately issued a battle order to the numerous cultivators below.

Soon, outside the "mountain-protecting formation," earth-shattering roars and battle cries rang out again.

".."

At this moment, Song Qingming and his companion, who were on Qingfeng Mountain to the east, also learned about the situation on Jinyu Mountain.

To help alleviate some of the pressure on Bai Yuxian and the others, Song Qingming also summoned the "Ice and Fire Dragon," who was in seclusion, and transferred him to "Golden Feather Mountain" to help.

Even with the addition of the "Ice and Fire Dragon" to the battlefield, it was still not enough to change the overall situation where the enemy was stronger and we were weaker.
However, the "Free and Unfettered Sect" managed to alleviate much of the pressure and temporarily withstand the enemy's siege.

After receiving the imperial edict from the "Xiaoyao Sect" to head north to provide assistance, the armies of cultivators led by Yang Fengyu of the "Tianji Sect" and Chen Yunxiao of the "Yunxiao Sect" also arrived at the battlefield of "Jinyu Mountain".

With the arrival of numerous reinforcements from the south, the human cultivators on "Golden Feather Mountain" finally turned the tide and gained the strength to fight against the demon army.

Just as Li Mufeng and the others on "Golden Feather Mountain" were plotting how to repel the demon army in front of them.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, Xu Ziyan, the sect leader who was overseeing the rear of the sect, suddenly received a letter from the "Wanling Sect" in the west requesting assistance.

This brought shocking news to everyone who was fighting against the demon race on the front lines.

After the outbreak of the "Monster Uprising", the "Wanling Sect" and "Leiyun Sect" of the Qin Kingdom in the west formed a joint army of cultivators to deal with the southward-moving monster army.

Two joint operations, and it was thought that the pressure would be less this time.

Unexpectedly, they were met with the main force of the demon race marching south from the "Northern Frontier".

In addition to several native demon emperors, including the Azure-Eyed Demon Emperor, the "Heavenly Fox Clan" from the western battlefield also dispatched eight Nascent Soul experts, including a late-stage Nascent Soul demon emperor.

The two sects of "Wanling Sect" joined forces, along with Liu Qingyin who went north to provide support, but they only had five Nascent Soul cultivators.

Faced with the combined attack of twelve demon emperors, plus two late-stage Nascent Soul experts, the human cultivators were simply no match for the enemy due to the vast difference in strength.

Moreover, the main direction of the "Heavenly Fox Clan's" attack this time was the weaker "Ten Thousand Spirits Sect" defense line in the west, where the number of demon beasts was more than twice that of the east.

Even with the alliance of the "Ten Thousand Spirits Sect" and the "Thundercloud Sect," they were still caught off guard by the powerful demon army.

After several major battles, the human race not only suffered tens of thousands of casualties among its cultivators, but also lost several important strongholds in the north.

Even Wang Yan, the Nascent Soul Grand Elder of the "Ten Thousand Spirits Sect," unfortunately perished at the hands of the demon race.

Now, the western defense line of the entire Fuyun Mountain Range has been completely breached by the demon army, and large swathes of territory of the Qin Kingdom and surrounding countries have fallen into the hands of the demon army.

The Wanling Sect's mountain gate is now besieged by the demon army and is in imminent danger, so it can only send messages to all sides to ask for help.

Upon hearing the news of the great defeat of the "Ten Thousand Spirits Sect" in the west and the sudden death of Wang Yan, Li Mufeng and the others were shocked and found it hard to believe.

Unexpectedly, the "demon army" was not only targeting the "Xiaoyao Sect" this time, but also the "Wanling Sect" in the west encountered a powerful enemy.

Moreover, compared to previous "monster uprisings," this time the demon army was not only far stronger than they had expected, but its actions were also quite astonishing.

In just one month, the western defense line of the entire Fuyun Mountain Range had been breached.

Once the Qin state's "Wanling Sect" is breached by the demon army, it's likely that the "Xiaoyao Sect" will also find it difficult to stop the enemy's southward advance on its own.

After learning of the critical situation facing the "Ten Thousand Spirits Sect".

After discussing with Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian and the others quickly decided to postpone the counterattack against the demon army in the east and send troops to aid the Qin Kingdom first.

Even with reinforcements from the "Tianji Sect" and "Yunxiao Sect," the number of cultivators in "Jinyu Mountain" is barely on par with their opponents, and they do not have any advantage.

It's simply impossible to defeat them in a short time.

If we stand by and watch them die, once the Qin Kingdom's "Wanling Sect" falls, the demon army will march south unstoppable, and the entire western part of the "Floating Cloud Mountains" will immediately fall into enemy hands.

Even if human cultivators manage to weather this turmoil, they will inevitably suffer severe damage and struggle to recover.

They will inevitably be gradually devoured and swallowed up by the demon race.

After making the decision, the army of cultivators led by Yang Fengyu, Li Mufeng, and Chen Yunxiao immediately boarded a large flying boat and headed east towards "Wanxiu Mountain".

It wasn't just the "Xiaoyao Sect" that was aware of this; all the major sects located west of the "Floating Cloud Mountains" also deeply understood the principle of mutual dependence.

Upon learning of the defeat of the "Wanling Sect" at the front, Fu Yungui and Han Yu of the "Huoyang Sect" disregarded their responsibility to resist the powerful enemy in the Illusionary Sea Desert to the west and personally led their troops north to aid the Qin Kingdom.

Although they were no match for the overwhelming force of the demon beast army, the "Ten Thousand Spirits Sect" was still the number one sect in the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, and its foundation should not be underestimated.

Its mountain gate, Wanxiu Mountain, is the only fourth-grade superior spiritual vein in the cultivation world of the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range".

The Grade 4 superior "Mountain Protection Array" set up on the mountain has helped the sect overcome crises countless times.

Despite the precarious situation of the "demon army" surrounding the mountain, the protective formation of "Wanxiu Mountain" can still hold out for a while.

With the arrival of the armies from the "Fire Yang Sect" and the "Free and Unfettered Sect," Wanxiu Mountain, having received support, was able to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Even so, the horde of monsters outside was coming on strong.

If the enemy cannot be completely defeated, the protective formation of "Wanxiu Mountain" will not be able to hold out indefinitely against the siege of the demon beast army, and will be breached sooner or later.

The situation on the western side of the entire "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" remains extremely dangerous.

While the cultivators on Wanxiu Mountain were struggling to hold on, Song Qingming and others in the east were also mobilizing troops to the north to provide reinforcements while they were locked in a stalemate with the northern demon army.

Whether it's the "Free and Unfettered Sect" or other sects, large or small, in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

Facing the overwhelming force of the "Heavenly Fox Clan" army, this is a crisis rarely seen in the cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains in the past ten thousand years.

If we cannot directly block the demon army, it will probably not be a matter of losing territory and some cultivators and mortals like in previous years' "demonic turmoil".

At that time, the entire cultivation world of the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" will likely fall under the iron hooves of the demon army, leaving no place for anyone to hide.

At this time, no matter whether it is a large or small sect or a rogue family cultivator, none can escape the great calamity.

Upon receiving the summons from the "Xiaoyao Sect," countless cultivators in the eastern part of the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" began to organize to march north to fight the enemy.

Even if they had to face the incursions of some demonic forces in the surrounding area, they couldn't care less at this moment.

Just as the members of the "Xiaoyao Sect" were mobilizing troops to provide reinforcements, Song Qingming, who was at "Qingfeng Mountain," finally received some good news.

After parting ways with Song Qingming and the others, Li Xianyun stayed in the cultivation world of the East Sea to deal with the ashes and belongings of his master and junior sister.

After receiving the letter of request for help from Song Qingming, Li Xianyun quickly came to Qingfeng Mountain to offer his assistance.

What surprised Song Qingming was that Li Xianyun did not return to the cultivation world of "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" alone.

They also brought Song Qingming two unexpected helpers. (End of Chapter)
