Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Just as the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" was fleeing, Song Qingming, who was closest to him, also waved his hand and threw a "White Jade Halo" in the direction of the other party's escape.

Seeing that the "white halo" instantly flew above his head, the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" was suddenly shocked and hurriedly changed the direction of his escape, trying to avoid the opponent's pursuit.

However, before he could escape far, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the void in front of him, and a voice with a somewhat cold tone came from in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Qianmu, you can't leave today!"

Upon hearing the voice, the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" looked closely and saw a figure that made him very frightened.

It was Song Qingming who was chasing him.

Although Song Qingming had just severely damaged the "Cloud-Breaking Demon King" with the talisman in his hand, he also took a head-on blow from the other party.

Fortunately, the red ball thrown by the "Cloud-clearing Demon King" was thrown out in a hurry without completing the spell, which greatly reduced the power of this magical power.

In addition, Bai Yuxian, who rushed to the vicinity of the battlefield, used his life-saving magic weapon "Green Jade Lotus" in time to help Song Qingming resist most of the opponent's attacks.

This allowed him to rely on the magic weapon in front of him to block the opponent's attack without suffering too much damage himself.

However, activating a fourth-grade top-grade talisman still consumed most of Song Qingming's magic power at once.

Seeing that he was in poor condition, Song Qingming did not force himself to go with Li Mufeng and others to chase the "Cloud-clearing Demon King" in the distance.

Instead, he chose to block the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King", who had the weakest magical power among the many demon kings.

After several battles with Song Qingming and others, the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" had already accumulated a lot of injuries. At this moment, his condition was actually not much better than Song Qingming's.

After running for only a dozen miles, he was successfully blocked by Song Qingming.

Seeing that the way ahead was blocked by the evil star Song Qingming, the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" secretly thought that something was wrong, but his face did not show too much panic.

"Song Qingming! It's not that easy to keep me here."

After shouting with some anger, the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" cast a spell with all his might, and in an instant dozens of white lights flew straight to where Song Qingming was.

But after so many consecutive fights, Song Qingming was very familiar with his opponent's magical powers.

Before the opponent's attack arrived, a giant turtle with spiritual light appeared in front of him and turned into a blue shield to block all the attacks of the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King".

Although he didn't have much magic power left, Song Qingming had swallowed a magic pill to restore his magic power not long ago.

In addition, he can rely on the incomplete map to help speed up the absorption of spiritual energy, and now he can still activate the "Xuanwu Spiritual Light Shield".

The magical power of the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" is the lowest among all the demon kings, and the attacks it launched have no effect on the fourth-level intermediate magic weapon in front of Song Qingming.

After casting spells and attacking for more than ten rounds, the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" still failed to break through Song Qingming's defense.

Seeing that Bai Yuxian and others were chasing after them, the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" was already very anxious. He made up his mind and directly exploded the dozen giant white eyes in front of him.

He wanted to rely on his self-harming magical power to get rid of Song Qingming's entanglement just like last time.

However, this time, Song Qingming, who was determined to keep the opponent, was obviously not as worried as he was when he fought with him in the first place.

Even if the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" chose to escape by self-harm, Song Qingming still forced the "White Jade Halo" to cover the opponent's head under the aftermath of the explosion, leaving him no chance to escape.

While the two continued to fight, Bai Yuxian and others behind them had already caught up to the vicinity of the battlefield.

Just now, in order to help Song Qingming block the attack of "The Cloud-Breaking Demon Emperor", Bai Yuxian's life-saving magic weapon "Green Jade Lotus" was seriously damaged, and he himself was also seriously injured.

However, seeing that Song Qingming's talisman had severely damaged the "Boyun Demon Emperor" and many demon emperors of the demon clan had already retreated, Bai Yuxian still forced himself to catch up despite his injuries.

With the cooperation of everyone, it didn't take long for Song Qingming to cut off the head of the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" with one sword, and killed the Nascent Soul Demon King who had been in enlightenment for many years.

After successfully killing the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King", Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian each took some pills to restore their magic power, and then continued to chase forward together.

After chasing for about a hundred miles, the two heard the sound of fighting again in the front, and hurriedly sped up and moved forward.

When Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian approached the battlefield, they could see clearly that the people fighting in front of them were He Wuyou, Li Mufeng and Yang Fengyu.

Surrounded by the three people is a demon master named "White Bone Demon King".

However, at this time, the "White Bone Demon King" was facing siege from three human Yuanying masters, and his body was already covered in wounds and in an extremely miserable state, without any of his majesty as the Demon King anymore.

After the "Cloud-Breaking Demon Emperor" was severely injured by Song Qingming, he decisively chose to abandon his physical body and flee the battlefield.

Although this monster had lost its physical body, under the full protection of the "Guyun Demon King", the speed at which its Nascent Soul escaped was still quite fast, and was even three times faster than its own body.

In the end, Li Mufeng and others chased him all the way but still failed to catch up with the "Cloud-Breaking Demon King" and could only watch their opponent escape back into the depths of the Floating Cloud Mountains.

However, although the three of them failed to stop the "Boyun Demon King", He Wuyou happened to discover the escape trace of the "White Bone Demon King" on the way back.

In the end, the unfortunate Demon King was caught up by the three men after fleeing all the way and failed to escape.

Just having to deal with the siege of Li Mufeng and the other two, the "White Bone Demon King" was already overwhelmed and was in a precarious situation.

When Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian joined the battlefield, the lone "White Bone Demon King" looked even more desperate, and soon followed the fate of the "Thousand Eyed Demon King" under the siege of everyone.

As He Wuyou's sword light fell, a huge monster corpse fell from mid-air and landed on the ground, and there was no movement anymore.

After the battle ended, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and flew to He Wuyou.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist He. This time, you have eradicated the Demon King and made a great contribution to the cultivators of the human race like us."

"Alas! This demon was brought to justice by the combined efforts of all of you fellow Taoists. How dare I take on this honor? Thank you for being too polite.

Moreover, if it weren’t for Fellow Daoist Song who severely injured Patriarch Bo Yun, the outcome of this battle would be uncertain. How could we have killed this monster so easily?

"As for the merits of this battle, I am just joining in the fun today. If we talk about the merits, I have to give top priority to Fellow Daoist Song!"

Seeing that everyone in front of him was bowing and congratulating him, He Wuyou waved his hands repeatedly and quickly started praising Song Qingming who was standing beside him.

Everyone present was well aware of the situation of the battle that had just taken place.

Seeing that He Wuyou directly attributed the greatest credit to Song Qingming in front of him, Li Mufeng and others around him glanced at him and nodded directly.

“Fellow Daoist He is right. If Junior Brother Song had not just happened to be carrying a high-level spiritual talisman, the Cloud-Breaking Demon Emperor might have succeeded in his scheme.

Please rest assured, Junior Brother, after the war, when we have counted the merits, we will definitely give priority to compensating you for your loss."

"Qingming doesn't dare to take credit for it, but I'll leave it to Senior Brother to decide!"

Having just used up a high-level talisman to deal with the "Cloud-clearing Demon King", Song Qingming was still secretly thinking about how to return it to Senior Sister Li in the future.

Hearing Li Mufeng asking to compensate for his losses, Song Qingming did not refuse. After saying a polite word, he nodded calmly.

When Yang Fengyu, who was standing by, saw this scene, he also smiled but did not say a word. However, there was a subtle complexity in his eyes when he looked at Song Qingming.

Just as Song Qingming and others were killing the "White Bone Demon King", the battle on the battlefield below the "Chiyun Mountain" city wall a hundred miles away was also nearing its end.

At the beginning, the demon army besieged "Chiyun Mountain". Because of their large numbers, they had a lot of advantages on the battlefield, which also brought some pressure to the human monks defending the city.

However, as the demon masters such as "Boyun Demon Emperor" in the sky suddenly retreated, the demon army below soon received an order to retreat.

This time, Huang Siyuan and others on the battlefield below also received the order to counterattack the demon army in time.

Seeing that the demon army began to retreat, Huang Siyuan and others immediately seized the opportunity and led the army of monks in the city to attack on all fronts.

The human cultivators' army, which had been besieged by the demons in the city for more than a month, under the leadership of Huang Siyuan and others, also chased northward for hundreds of miles.

The crowd did not stop until they had driven the demon tribe back into the depths of the "Floating Cloud Mountains".

Along the way, the monsters were chasing after the human cultivators and they just kept running away. Soon they became a mess, and countless monster corpses fell on the road.

By the time Song Qingming and his companions dealt with the bodies of the two Demon Kings and returned to the city, the army of cultivators outside the city had stopped their pursuit and began to clean up the surrounding battlefield.

Even though thousands of "law enforcement team" monks were sent to help, it still took everyone three full days to clean up the corpses of the monsters outside the city.

In recent days, the monks defending the city of "Chiyun Mountain" have been facing siege from the demon army and have been forced to retreat into the city and be trapped in the "mountain protection formation" to passively defend.

This time they finally completely repelled the demon army and managed to defend "Chiyun Mountain".

After cleaning up the battlefield outside, the monks defending the city, under the arrangement of Song Qingming and others, began to ask for merit and rewards, and to provide pensions to those monks who died in the battle to defend the city.

The battle of "Chiyun Mountain" not only dealt a heavy blow to "Boyun Demon Emperor", the great demon monk who posed the greatest threat to the human race in the south.

Song Qingming and others also killed the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King" and the "White Bone Demon King", two Nascent Soul masters of the demon clan.

In addition, he had previously used his natal sword talisman to kill the "Black Dragon Demon King" alone.

The northern demon tribe had already lost many demon kings, and would no longer be able to pose a great threat to the southern human cultivators in the short term. In addition, Huang Siyuan and others on the battlefield below had also killed many demon beasts and severely damaged the northern demon army in the battle that lasted for more than a month.

According to post-war statistics, the monks defending the "Chiyun Mountain" city killed a total of 28,000 monsters.

Among them, there were more than 500 monsters above level 2, and 14 Jindan monster kings above level 3 were also killed.

Such a huge victory is something that the human cultivators in the "Floating Cloud Mountains" have rarely seen in the past thousand years.

Seeing the many monster materials reported and counted by the cultivators below, Song Qingming and others were very happy. They set up a banquet and rewarded those who had made contributions.

However, in order to defeat the army of monsters outside the city, the monks defending the "Chiyun Mountain" also paid a heavy price.

Nearly ten thousand monks defending the city alone died on the battlefield, including more than eighty foundation-building monks and three Jindan Zhenren.

Among these three fallen Jindan cultivators, one was Wei Zicheng, the Jindan elder of the "Xiaoyao Sect".

The other two were Li Hongxuan, the Jindan elder of the "Tianji Sect", and a Jindan cultivator from the sect who came to support from the "Lv State" east of the "Zheng State".

Wei Zicheng once went to the "Donghuang Kingdom" with Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian to participate in the sword meeting.

Like Song Linxi, he is a Jindan elder in the sect who has successfully formed a golden elixir in the last ten years or so, and his cultivation has only recently broken through the second level of the golden elixir.

Jindan cultivators like them who have just formed their elixir are at the bottom of the list in terms of cultivation strength in a battlefield where many Jindan cultivators are fighting, and are very likely to be targeted by the opponent's demon king as a breakthrough point.

During the battle, Wei Zicheng was accidentally besieged by several demon kings. Even with several third-level talismans on him, they could not save his life.

In addition to the three of them, more than a dozen of the more than 40 Jindan cultivators who participated in the battle were also seriously injured in the battle.

Among the "Xiaoyao Sect" alone, there were five people who were seriously injured: Song Linxi, Luo Qingyun, Song Yuanhao, Fang Baixuan, and Li Wutong.

Among them, Song Linxi and Luo Qingyun were the most seriously injured, and both of them suffered physical damage that was difficult to heal.

Even if they have healing elixirs to save their lives, if they want to restore their bodies, they still need to rely on high-level spiritual objects to regenerate broken limbs.

It will take about 20 to 30 years to fully recover from this situation.

For a Jindan cultivator, wasting so much time recuperating and failing to improve his cultivation will inevitably affect his future path.

The injuries of Song Yuanhao, Fang Baixuan and Li Wutong are slightly less serious. With five or six years of patient treatment, they should be able to recover slowly.

Their situation is much better than that of Song Linxi and Luo Qingyun.

Fortunately, no matter how serious their injuries are, they were injured while fighting for the sect, and they will also receive the appropriate compensation for their meritorious service from the sect.

At least in terms of healing, with the help of the sect, there won't be any big problems.

As for those cultivators who died in defending the city, whether they were disciples of the sect or independent cultivators recruited from the market town, Song Qingming ordered that they be given certain spiritual objects as compensation.

Not only that, the "Chiyun Mountain" market will also waive all fees for entering and leaving the market for the descendants of these meritorious independent cultivators for twenty years in the future.

In other words, as long as they are willing to stay in the "Chiyun Mountain" market to practice in the future, they do not have to hand over additional spirit stones to the market within twenty years.

For them, it is equivalent to getting a stable place for long-term practice, which can save a lot of spirit stones.

After several days of celebration, He Wuyou and others who came to support began to say goodbye and leave "Chiyun Mountain" to return to their own sects.

In order to thank the monks who came to support them, Li Mufeng, Song Qingming and others discussed and took out a lot of monster materials captured on the battlefield and gave them to everyone.

After all, without their timely assistance, Song Qingming and others would not have the confidence to defend "Chiyun Mountain", let alone seize so many monster materials.

In addition to distributing numerous low-level monster materials, a lot of high-level materials above level three were also distributed to these meritorious people.

Among the fourth-level materials obtained from the "White Bone Demon King" and the "Thousand-Eyed Demon King", Li Mufeng took out one of the fourth-level low-grade demon pills and gave it to He Wuyou.

On the other hand, Yang Fengyu obtained a valuable fourth-grade intermediate monster material from the "White Bone Demon King" and a low-grade animal skin that could be used to refine talismans after the war.

The remaining monster materials all belonged to Song Qingming and the other two.

Song Qingming made the greatest contribution, and he had used a fourth-grade high-level talisman in the crucial battle that determined the outcome.

In order to compensate for his losses, Li Mufeng left him the remaining demon pill materials from the "White Bone Demon King" and the spirits of the two demon beasts.

He and Bai Yuxian only received one piece of monster material and a fourth-level magic weapon each.

Neither He Wuyou nor Yang Fengyu raised any objection to this distribution model.

However, Song Qingming felt that he seemed to have gained some advantage, and took out tens of thousands of spirit stones on his own initiative to compensate Bai Yuxian who was injured when he was defending against the Demon King's attack.

In addition to the Nascent Soul cultivators such as Song Qingming, the Jindan cultivators who had made contributions and the low-level cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages all received their own rewards.

Including Huang Siyuan and Li Xuanyi, who made significant contributions in the battle, each received rewards of several high-level monster materials.

In order to celebrate the defeat of the demon army, "Chiyun Mountain" was bustling for more than a month.

It was not until Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian led the sect's monks back to Weiguo that the market at the foot of the mountain gradually quieted down.

After more than a month of fighting, the city of "Chiyun Mountain" had already become a mess, and the number of cultivators was at least half less than before the war.

The shops in the market had to close because they had no spiritual objects to sell, and traces of the battle were everywhere outside the city.

The bloody atmosphere on the battlefield lasted for several months without dissipating, and at one point it attracted many monks who practiced magic techniques, wanting to use the ghosts here to refine magical weapons.

However, these demon cultivators hiding in the dark were quickly discovered by the many city-guarding monks who held magic formations to restrain them.

In order to restore the normal operation of the market town as soon as possible, Song Qingming first requisitioned the sect's large flying boat and took the initiative to help the merchants in the market town transfer goods to "Chiyun Mountain".

After many shops in the market started to operate stably, Song Qingming ordered that all cultivators be exempted from fees for entering and leaving the market for half a year, in order to attract many outside cultivators to come.

It was not until half a year later that the negative energy on the battlefield outside the city gradually dissipated.

Thanks to everyone's hard work, the entire "Chiyun Mountain" has slowly recovered and regained some of its former bustling atmosphere.
-
In the cave on the top of "Chiyun Mountain", Song Qingming slowly exhaled a breath of spiritual energy, then opened his eyes and revealed a slight smile.

In the previous battle with the demon clan, Song Qingming's life magic weapon was damaged and the meridians in his body were also damaged.
After nearly a year of seclusion and recuperation, he has finally recovered completely, and even his life-saving magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", has almost been repaired.

He had just finished his retreat and walked out of the stone chamber, then came to the place where the "Ice and Fire Dragon" was in retreat.

Looking inside through the gap left by the door, I saw a flash of light appearing in the stone chamber.

At this time, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" was closing its eyes tightly, squatting in a "Spirit Gathering Formation", madly absorbing the pure spiritual energy gathered from all around.

After the great battle a year ago, after careful consideration, Song Qingming decided to give the demon pill he got from the "Black Dragon Demon King" to the "Ice and Fire Dragon" in front of him.

After swallowing this fourth-grade intermediate demon pill, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" immediately underwent changes and soon fell into a state of seclusion and sleep.

After a year of seclusion to absorb spiritual energy, Song Qingming, who was standing at the door, could already feel a powerful aura coming from the "Ice and Fire Dragon".

Song Qingming was very familiar with this aura. It was the same aura he had felt from the "Ice and Fire Dragon" when it first attempted to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

If nothing unexpected happens, the "Ice and Fire Dragon" in the stone chamber will once again attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage soon.

However, Song Qingming was not very sure whether the other party could succeed in forming a fetus this time, and he could not help much. He could only wait patiently.

After taking a look at the situation of the "Ice and Fire Dragon", which seemed to have no problems, Song Qingming turned around and came to the stone chamber built for the spirit insects not far away.

Just as he expected, two more "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" in the insect room successfully mutated into "Colorful Fantasy Butterflies", and the situation did not change much.

It was not until the end that Song Qingming arrived at the cave where several puppets were in retreat not far away.

As soon as the restriction at the door was opened, a powerful aura came out. Song Qingming looked carefully and found that it was the strange breath coming from the spirit gathering array where "Golden Wind" was.

"This is, could it be that he has successfully advanced!"

After such a long period of seclusion, Song Qingming finally saw a change in the aura of "Jinfeng". His face lit up with joy and he hurriedly came to him.

Facing Jin Feng who was sitting cross-legged, Song Qingming immediately placed his hand on his forehead and cast a spell to test it.

As expected, it was almost the same as Song Qingming expected. The aura of "Golden Wind" had become the same as that of "Black Shadow" and it had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

Because the "puppet" does not need to temper the Nascent Soul in its body to break through the realm, when "Golden Wind" breaks through the realm, it does not need to go through the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation like the cultivators.

So much so that Song Qingming, who was also in seclusion in the cave, did not realize when the other party had successfully advanced, which was why he looked so surprised at this moment.

After spending several bottles of "Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid", he finally lived up to his expectations and successfully helped "Jin Feng" break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming couldn't help but smile.
