Qinghe Immortal Clan.

"Taiyue Lake in the south, could it be related to the demon race?"

Hearing this, Huang Siyuan immediately picked up the letter and took a look at it, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Monsters attacked Pei State, and Zhenyang Sect sent a message asking for help!

My husband, it is still far from the time when the monsters will cause chaos, so why would the Taiyue Lake monsters suddenly launch a massive attack on the Zhenyang Sect?"

Pei State was a small country southwest of Wei State. Except for its northern border with Wei State, the entire eastern border of Pei State was on the edge of "Taiyue Lake".

Apart from some immortal cultivation families, the main force that controls the immortal cultivation world of Pei State is a Jindan sect called "Zhen Yang Sect".

There are a total of six Jindan cultivators in the "Zhen Yang Sect", and there are nearly ten thousand disciples in the foundation-building and Qi-refining stages.

Among the many immortal cultivation sects on the east side of the immortal cultivation world in the Floating Cloud Mountains, in addition to a few top Nascent Soul sects such as the "Xiaoyao Sect", the Jindan Sect such as the "Zhenyang Sect" is the most powerful immortal cultivation force.

However, although the "Zhen Yang Sect" is quite powerful, there are no Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect after all. If it wants to survive safely in the world of immortal cultivation, it must find a Nascent Soul force to support it.

Because of its proximity to the territory of Wei State and the intentional solicitation of the "Xiaoyao Sect", the "Zhenyang Sect" had long ago reached an alliance with the "Xiaoyao Sect" of Wei State, making Pei State a nominal vassal force of the "Xiaoyao Sect".

When monsters were causing chaos and the monks of Wei State were fighting a desperate battle with the monsters of "Jinyu Mountain" in "Guiyunfang" in the north, the "Zhenyang Sect" led the monks of Pei State to the north to aid Wei State, and finally helped the "Xiaoyao Sect" successfully block the invasion of monsters and defend "Guiyunfang".

Although the entire Pei State territory does not directly border the Floating Cloud Mountains in the north, there are also many monsters around its territory.

The most powerful demon force among them is the "Taiyue Lake" located to the west of Pei State.

When the monster riots occur once every hundred years, many monsters in "Taiyue Lake" will start to invade many countries along the coast under the command of high-level monster kings. The immortal cultivation world of Pei State is also deeply affected.

Fortunately, the overall strength of Pei State's "Zhen Yang Sect" is not weak.

Over the past thousand years, although there have been riots involving monsters once every hundred years, the cultivation world of Pei State has always suffered considerable losses when faced with the invasion of the monsters from "Taiyue Lake".

However, relying on its own strength, the "Zhen Yang Sect" was able to successfully repel the army of monsters every time, and did not cause the human cultivators to lose too much territory. The entire Pei Kingdom's immortal cultivation world was relatively peaceful most of the time.

I just don’t know what big thing happened in Pei State this time, and why the "Zhen Yang Sect" suddenly asked for help from Wei State in the north.

After hearing Huang Siyuan's doubts, Song Qingming was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "In recent years, there has been news that there seems to be some unrest in Taiyue Lake in the south.

I thought it was just a temporary incident with the water monsters and not a big deal, but now it seems it is not as simple as I thought before.

Yuan Fang, Si Yuan and I have to go to the sect to discuss matters right away, so I will leave the house to you for now."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he gave a few detailed instructions to Song Yuanfang beside him, then turned around and left "Funiu Mountain" with Huang Siyuan.

By the time Song Qingming and his wife arrived at "Guyang Mountain", Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian, the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the sect, had already come out of seclusion and arrived at "Xiaoyao Palace".

Except for Chen Xuanxin who was still in seclusion to recuperate, and several others who were stationed outside and could not make it in time, more than a dozen Jindan elders of the sect all gathered in the hall in a short time.

Not until almost everyone had arrived did Bai Yuxian inform everyone of the detailed situation from Pei State in the south. Only then did Song Qingming understand why the "Zhen Yang Sect" suddenly asked Wei State for help.

Originally, there were only a few Jindan Demon Kings’ territories in the "Taiyue Lake" near Pei State. Every time there was a riot of demon beasts, it was the armies of demon beasts led by these Jindan Demon Kings that attacked Pei State.

To deal with the army of monsters led by the Demon King, which they are already very familiar with, the "Zhen Yang Sect" can repel the enemy with just its own strength. Under normal circumstances, they will not ask for help from other countries.

But what was different this time was that the demon army attacking Pei State not only suddenly increased several times in number, but also many unfamiliar Jindan demon kings appeared.

The strength of the monsters increased greatly, and they caught the "Zhen Yang Sect" off guard. In less than half a month, the monks of the "Zhen Yang Sect" were defeated and lost a large area of ​​Pei State's territory.

Now he is trapped on the sect's sacred site, "Zhenyang Mountain". He can only rely on the sect's "Mountain Protection Array" to hold on while sending messages to other surrounding sects for help.

After hearing what the Yuanying Patriarch Bai Yuxian said slowly, the people from the Xiaoyao Sect standing below understood the reason and began to discuss it.

Shen Tongzhou, who was the most anxious among them, quickly responded:
“My two ancestors! The Zhenyang Sect is our fellow human race. During this difficult time, we absolutely cannot abandon them.

Now that the Zhenyang Sect has sent us a request for help, I believe the situation in Pei State must be extremely urgent. I hope the two ancestors can make a decision as soon as possible.

Although I am not talented, I am willing to be the vanguard of the sect to help Pei State. "

Shen Tongzhou was originally a casual cultivator born in Pei State. Although he had left the Pei State cultivation world after establishing his foundation, he still had some close friends there.

Upon hearing that Pei State was besieged by a large army of monsters, the situation was already precarious. While feeling somewhat anxious, he also hoped that the sect could send troops to help the monks of Pei State out.

“Junior Brother Shen is right. Zhenyang Sect and Pei State are the gateways for the southern part of Xiaoyao Sect to deal with the Taiyue Lake monster tribe. If they are lost and occupied by the monster tribe, I am afraid we will not be able to live in peace.

I also ask the two uncles to be wise and send troops south to rescue Pei State!"

"Junior Sister Xu, what you said makes sense."

Seeing that most of the sect elders present were in favor of rescuing Peiguo's immortal cultivation world immediately, Li Mufeng, who was sitting at the head, nodded slightly, stood up and said:

"The Zhenyang Sect is not only our fellow human race, but also has an alliance with our sect. Now that the sect knows about this, we must save them.

I have called all of you here today to discuss with you the specific details of going to Pei State for rescue.

This matter is of great importance, so please do not be impatient and you need to be well prepared."

Li Mufeng had just finished speaking when Bai Yuxian beside him also spoke to everyone with a serious face:

“Brother Li is right. It is really strange that the monsters in the lake attacked Pei State on such a large scale this time. I am afraid it is not as simple as everyone thinks.

A few years ago, strange phenomena occurred in Taiyue Lake. Later, when I learned the news, I went to investigate nearby with fellow Taoist Zheng from Xingchen Sect.

Although not 100% sure, some clues were found nearby.

If our speculation is correct, there should be a Jindan monster in Taiyue Lake that has survived the Yuanying thunder tribulation.

The abnormal behavior of the monsters in the lake this time may be driven by the Monster King. We must not underestimate the enemy."

"Yuanying Demon Emperor! Uncle Bai, is this true?"

When Bai Yuxian mentioned that there was a new Nascent Soul Demon King in "Taiyue Lake", everyone present showed surprise except Xu Ziyan, who still had a normal expression.

In the past, the southern part of Wei State was able to maintain peace for many years because, although there were many monsters on the east bank of "Taiyue Lake", the highest level of cultivation was only the Golden Core Realm, and there were no Yuanying level monsters nearby.

Therefore, every time the monsters in "Taiyue Lake" caused chaos, the many monster kings in the lake would fight on their own. Although the noise was loud, the threat to human cultivators was far less than that posed by the monsters in the Floating Cloud Mountains in the north.

If it is true as Bai Yuxian said, there is suddenly a Nascent Soul Demon King in "Taiyue Lake".

Once the demon king integrates the power of the demon clans in the nearby lakes, the strength of the demon clans in "Taiyue Lake" will inevitably increase greatly in the future, which will pose a great threat to the neighboring Pei State and the entire east coast of "Taiyue Lake".

When Song Qingming, who was standing at the bottom, heard the news, he was extremely shocked and his face looked a little more solemn.

Although the power of the northern demon clan suffered a severe blow due to the success of Bai Yuxian's fetus formation, the monks who defended the country expanded the territory by thousands of miles and forced the demon clan back to the vicinity of "Golden Feather Mountain".

However, because the monsters from the northern border continue to move southward, the power of the "Jinyu Mountain" monster clan will eventually recover.

If there really is another Nascent Soul Demon King in the "Taiyue Lake" in the south, once the "Xiaoyao Sect" which originally had some advantages faces a joint attack from the demon tribes in the north and south in the future, it will probably be difficult to cope with it, and it will no longer be able to gain any advantage against the demon tribe.

Not only Song Qingming was worried about this, but many people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" also showed ugly looks on their faces after hearing the news.

But the situation is unclear now, and they are still unable to confirm whether this matter is true or not.

What now faces everyone in the "Xiaoyao Sect" is to discuss how to send troops to rescue the "Zhenyang Sect" of Pei State.

After some discussion among everyone, Li Mufeng quickly decided on a plan to set out to rescue Pei State and sent out an army of cultivators led by six Jindan cultivators: sect elders Song Qingming, Li Wutong, Fang Baixuan, Shen Tongzhou, Zhang Tieyang, and Luo Qingyun.

In addition, in order to guard against the possible appearance of the Nascent Soul Demon King, Bai Yuxian, the sect's Nascent Soul ancestor, also followed the rescue team.

Thousands of cultivators from the "Xiaoyao Sect" were urgently summoned, and they boarded two large flying boats of the sect and headed south directly to the Pei Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

Although Wei and Pei were two neighboring countries, there was a barren swamp of thousands of miles and a large mountainous area between them, so the distance between the two places was not too close.

After everyone set off from "Guyang Mountain", the flying boat traveled south for about two days, and after crossing a mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles, they officially entered the territory of Pei State.

When they just entered Pei State, the surroundings below the flying boat were relatively calm, but as they got closer and closer to "Zhenyang Mountain", the situation below gradually became chaotic.

The entire Pei State, including a large area of ​​territory in the west near the "Taiyue Lake", has been submerged by the lake water. Countless ships are sailing in the water just to reach the highlands in the east to avoid the flood.

If it was a large fleet escorted by monks, it would be fine. However, for mortals who could only rely on themselves, even if they had a small boat, it would still be difficult to avoid the constant dangers in the water. Such incidents of shipwrecks and deaths were seen almost everywhere on the road of the Xiaoyao Sect.

However, although they saw some cultivators and mortals below who needed their rescue, the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" could not take care of them for the moment and were still speeding up the flying boat to rush to the "Zhenyang Sect".

In the south of Pei State, on "Zhenyang Mountain".

Wei Xuanping, the great elder of the "Zhen Yang Sect", stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the many monsters outside that were attacking the "Mountain Protection Formation" with the tide, and the expression on his face was already very ugly.

"Great Elder, the demon beast army is coming again. Should we attack them now?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Use the Spirit Light Cannon to consume a wave of monsters first. After half an hour, we can defeat the monsters and then attack.

Inform everyone to stay alert and be prepared. If the situation gets bad, we will be ready to fight back at any time."

As the grand elder of the Zhen Yang Sect, Wei Xuanping has been in charge of the sect for hundreds of years. Although the Zhen Yang Sect has not been thriving under his leadership over the years, it has developed relatively smoothly.

Unexpectedly, in his later years, not only did he have no hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, but he also encountered a crisis that had not been seen in a thousand years since the sect was founded.

After sighing slightly, Wei Xuanping turned his gaze to the army of monsters swarming down the mountain.

Seeing the army of monsters approaching the "mountain protection formation", the monks of the Zhenyang Sect on the mountain immediately began to fill up their spirit stones and controlled the "spiritual light cannons" placed around them to fire one spiritual light cannon after another at the monsters below.

As the spiritual light cannon penetrated into the group of monsters, a loud bang was heard immediately, and a dozen low-level monsters nearby were immediately blown away.

The powerful force of the "Spiritual Light Cannon" also stunned the other monsters nearby, making them dare not move forward.

But after seeing this scene, the demon kings above immediately released their powerful aura, and a roar made these low-level demon beasts fearless of death, rushing forward and biting and attacking the formation frantically.

Although these level 3 "Spiritual Light Cannons" guarding the mountain are quite powerful, they can cause certain damage to the army of monsters.

However, the number is still relatively small, and can only slightly delay the attack of the army of monsters, and the effect is very limited.

Seeing that the "mountain protection formation" in front of him began to shake slightly under the continuous attacks of the army of monsters, Wei Xuanping immediately stepped on the escape light and came directly into the air.

"My fellow disciples, I received a message from Xiaoyao Sect yesterday saying that reinforcements are on the way. Please hold on for another day or two. As long as we can hold the formation, we will be able to join forces with the reinforcements and defeat the army of monsters."

After Wei Xuanping finished speaking, he was the first to rush out of the sect's formation. Thousands of "Zhen Yang Sect" monks behind him immediately followed, and they soon joined forces to fight with the army of monsters outside.

A month ago, Pei State had just been besieged by the demon tribe.

At the beginning, the "Zhen Yang Sect" did not discover the abnormality of the monster riot in time, and thought that the monster attack this time was the same as before. Due to carelessness, they suffered a lot of losses.

In the several battles with the demon tribe over the previous half month, the "Zhen Yang Sect" not only failed to defend its own territory, but also lost a lot of manpower in the war, and even one of the sect's Jindan elders was killed in the battle.

It was not until the monsters suddenly approached "Zhen Yang Mountain" that Wei Xuanping and others reacted. They hurriedly gathered all the forces of the surrounding sects on "Zhen Yang Mountain" and relied on the sect's mountain protection formation to defend it with all their might.

There was a large army of monsters besieging from outside, including ten Golden Core Monster Kings alone, and below them were tens of thousands of various ferocious low-level monsters, which were more than twice the number of cultivators from the Zhen Yang Sect.

The gap in overall strength between the two sides is very obvious.

Fortunately, the third-grade top-grade mountain protection formation on "Zhenyang Mountain" was quite powerful. Although they were surrounded on the mountain by the army of monsters for a long time, Wei Xuanping and others still relied on the mountain protection formation to forcibly defend the sacred mountain.

Although the "Mountain Protection Formation" could help them resist for a while, it was ultimately unable to hold out against the constant siege of so many monsters outside.

Wei Xuanping and others still had to charge out from time to time to disrupt the monsters outside that were besieging the "Mountain Protection Formation" in order to buy more time for themselves and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Seeing the monks from the Zhen Yang Sect taking the initiative to attack, the demon army outside immediately turned around and surrounded where they were.

The two sides had been fighting for several days and were somewhat familiar with each other, so they quickly found their respective opponents.

As the grand elder of the "Zhen Yang Sect", Wei Xuanping's cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. Naturally, his cultivation strength is not comparable to that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Wei Xuanping was seen holding a purple flying sword magic weapon and stopping the three demon kings on the other side by himself.

Faced with the joint siege of three demon kings of the same level, Wei Xuanping not only did not lose the battle, but was also able to handle it with ease and occasionally helped his fellow disciples nearby.

The reason why Wei Xuanping has such strength is because the flying sword magic weapon in his hand is a fourth-level lower-grade magic weapon that has been passed down in the "Zhen Yang Sect" for thousands of years. Its power is far beyond the reach of ordinary third-level magic weapons.

These three demon kings fought with Wei Xuanping for several days in a row, but they failed to gain any advantage almost every time. Yesterday, one of the demon kings was accidentally injured by him and lost an eye.

When the two sides met again, they were naturally jealous of each other.

The "Black Spirit Demon King" whose right eye was blinded by Wei Xuanping rushed to the front as soon as he saw his opponent appear, and attacked Wei Xuanping madly and at all costs.

Seeing that the opponent was so ferocious, Wei Xuanping did not show any panic on his face. Instead, he showed a bit of mockery. While casting spells to defend against the opponent's attack, he slowly retreated.

Seeing that Wei Xuanping seemed to be defeated after his desperate attack, the "Black Spirit Demon King" was immediately delighted and quickly flew behind him, trying to stop Wei Xuanping and prevent him from easily escaping back to the "Mountain Protection Formation" behind him.

But just as it approached behind Wei Xuanping, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in front of it, and then a seemingly inconspicuous white iron ball in the white light flew quickly towards the location of the demon king.

Before the "Black Spirit Demon King" could react, the white iron ball had already arrived next to it and exploded immediately.

There was only a loud "boom!" and the "Black Spirit Demon King" was blown away by the huge force of the explosion.

This white iron ball is a special magic weapon that Wei Xuanping obtained at an auction many years ago. Although its power is relatively ordinary, it is very useful for sneak attacks.

The "Black Spirit Demon King" was caught off guard, and not only was his body covered in blood, but even one of the wings on his back was blown off by the white iron ball.

Seeing that he was seriously injured in the sneak attack, the "Black Spirit Demon King" did not have the courage to fight Wei Xuanping anymore, and hurriedly fled into the distance under the cover of the other two demon kings.

Seeing that the "Black Spirit Demon King" was finally severely injured by him, Wei Xuanping naturally didn't want to let him go.

Right now their side is at a disadvantage and the war is not going in their favor. If they can take this opportunity to directly kill the "Black Spirit Demon King", then the situation will definitely improve and their hope of defending the mountain gate will be greater.

The "Black Spirit Demon King" had just escaped from the battlefield, and Wei Xuanping was also well prepared. He used the magic power in his hand and immediately used a magical power.

The next moment, he suddenly disappeared from his original place, flashed to a nearby place, got rid of the two demon kings behind him, and chased directly in the direction where the "Black Spirit Demon King" fled.

Seeing Wei Xuanping catching up with him again, the "Black Spirit Demon King" was shocked and hurriedly increased his speed.

However, it had just been seriously injured, and facing Wei Xuanping who was chasing it with all his strength, the "Black Spirit Demon King" was still quickly caught up by the other party even after using all his strength.

"Death to the evildoer!"

Wei Xuanping, who had already caught up to a place not far behind the opponent, raised his hand and swung his sword, heading straight for the "Black Spirit Demon King" to stop him from escaping.

However, not long after the sword light was used, Wei Xuanping suddenly felt a very powerful pressure coming from the void not far ahead, which made his face change immediately and he stopped chasing.

Before Wei Xuanping could figure out what was happening in front of him, a giant hand suddenly appeared in the void and grabbed the sword that Wei Xuanping had just wielded.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared in front, and a barefoot man wearing a golden crown came to the side of the "Black Spirit Demon King".

"Nascent Soul Demon Emperor!"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the barefoot man in front of him, Wei Xuanping broke out in a cold sweat and immediately turned around and ran towards the mountain protection formation behind him without looking back.

But at this time he was already some distance away from the "Mountain Protection Array". Before he could reach the vicinity of the array, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and the barefoot man had already blocked Wei Xuanping.

Seeing the barefoot man in front of him looking at him with disdain, Wei Xuanping's face suddenly showed a trace of despair.

Knowing that he would not be able to escape safely today, he quickly opened his mouth and shouted to the people of the "Zhen Yang Sect" who were still fighting the monsters not far away:
"All disciples, don't fight any longer, retreat quickly!"
-
The two large flying boats that the "Xiaoyao Sect" members were on had just passed through a high mountain and were less than three thousand miles away from the "Zhenyang Mountain".

Just as everyone was standing on top of the flying boat waiting patiently, a beam of light suddenly flew over from the front, followed by a man in black who flashed onto the flying boat.

"Junior Brother Shen, you're back. How's the situation at Zhenyang Mountain now?"

Seeing Shen Tongzhou who had just arrived, Li Wutong, who was standing in front of the flying boat, hurried forward and asked a question.

When Shen Tongzhou heard this, he looked very unhappy and shook his head at the people in front of him.

"Zhenyang Mountain has been breached by monsters!"

"What?" (End of this chapter)
