Qinghe Immortal Clan

More than forty years have passed since the Xiaoyao Sect marched north and occupied Bailong Valley.

Today, the "White Dragon Valley", a third-grade superior spiritual vein, has already completely cleared out the miasma in the valley under the careful management of the "Xiaoyao Sect" for decades, and has become a spiritual land suitable for the survival of human cultivators.

However, because it is located at the sect’s most frontline battlefield, the “White Dragon Valley” is very close to the “Golden Feather Mountain” controlled by the northern demon clan, and the deep location is also very dangerous.

Apart from the third-level spiritual vein "White Dragon Valley", there are many monsters in the surrounding areas, which are basically under the control of the monster clan, and there are no cultivators or mortals living there.

After the "Xiaoyao Sect" occupied this spiritual vein, in order to guard against the northern demon tribe's attack from the south, it also sent a number of cultivators to garrison here.

However, due to the prominent location of "White Dragon Valley", guarding this place is much more difficult than "Guiyunfang" in the rear, and it is easy to be surrounded by the demon army.

By the time Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian arrived at the "White Dragon Valley" through the teleportation array connected to the "Guiyunfang", the valley had been besieged by the demon army for a long time.

However, it was already late at night and the two sides had not yet engaged in a major battle. Therefore, the entire "White Dragon Valley" was exceptionally quiet except for the eye-catching mountain protection formation.

Upon hearing that Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian had arrived, Chen Xuanxin, who was sitting in the city, hurriedly came up to them with a happy look on his face and bowed to Song Qingming and the others.

"Greetings to Uncle Bai and Uncle Song!"

Ever since the "Nanyuefang" battle many years ago, Chen Xuanxin has been in seclusion for nearly thirty years to recuperate from his injuries, and has not left the sect to appear in public for a long time.

Even when Song Qingming held the "Nascent Soul Ceremony" in Guyang Mountain a few years ago, Chen Xuanxin was unable to attend as he wished because he was in seclusion to recuperate.

However, after so many years of careful nursing, Chen Xuanxin's injuries have almost healed, and he is estimated to be not far from recovery.

Upon hearing that "White Dragon Valley" was in crisis, Chen Xuanxin, who was in the sect, immediately came out and rushed to the front line to help.

Chen Xuanxin's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Golden Core for many years. He started out as a sword cultivator, and his fighting ability is even better than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Although he was unable to fully display his full strength due to his injuries, he still had no problem fighting against an average Jindan late stage demon king.

In recent days, the front line of "White Dragon Valley" has suddenly been in a tight situation due to Li Mufeng's injury. It was the timely arrival of several Jindan cultivators such as Chen Xuanxin and Song Qingyu that allowed the "Xiaoyao Sect" to temporarily stabilize the situation.

Seeing Chen Xuanxin, whom he hadn't seen for many years, suddenly being so polite and bowing to him, Song Qingming was a little unable to adapt at first and quickly waved at him.

"Brother Chen, there's no need to be so polite!"

Seeing Song Qingming calling him Senior Brother, Chen Xuanxin was surprised and said, "Uncle Song has already broken through the Nascent Soul stage. How dare Xuanxin call himself Senior Brother?"

Hearing this, Song Qingming immediately reacted, nodded slightly and smiled:

"Only Senior Sister Bai is here, and no one else, so Senior Brother Chen, please don't filter!

I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that my senior brother has recovered from his injury. It is really a cause for celebration.

When Senior Brother advances to the Nascent Soul stage and becomes one of our generation, Qing Ming will naturally still call him Senior Brother. Today’s slip of the tongue can be regarded as congratulating Senior Brother in advance.”

"Yes! Junior Brother Song has the same personality as me. He doesn't like to bother about the red tape in the world of immortal cultivation.

Junior Brother Xuanxin, you don't have to worry about this anymore!"

Seeing that Song Qingming was still as humble as he was back then after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, Chen Xuanxin's face gradually relaxed and he smiled softly:

“I am grateful to the two uncles for their appreciation. I will practice hard and strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.

However, although Xuan Xin is devoted to the Tao, the path to the Nascent Soul is very difficult after all. I dare not say whether I will have the opportunity to reach that step in this life. "

Chen Xuanxin's own cultivation has already advanced to the ninth level of the Golden Core for many years, and he is not far from retreating to the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, the sect had already prepared a spiritual item for him to form a baby.

If it weren't for Chen Xuanxin's bad luck, he would have been injured by Yue Wuji's sneak attack in the "Nanyuefang" battle, and had to spend decades in seclusion to recuperate. He should have been in seclusion to form a baby by now.

If he had better luck, he might have successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage like Song Qingming.

However, it is difficult for any cultivator to predict his own fortune during practice, and Chen Xuanxin is still a little lacking in this regard.

After years of seclusion and healing, and after learning that Song Qingming had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage ahead of schedule, Chen Xuanxin's personal mentality could not help but undergo some subtle changes.

At the beginning, he cultivated to the ninth level of Golden Core earlier than Song Qingming, and he also had the full support of the sect.

Logically speaking, he should be the first to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

But who could have imagined that the situation between the two of them would change so suddenly.

First, Chen Xuanxin himself was injured and had to retreat for decades to recuperate, which forced him to delay the great opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Afterwards, Song Qingming, the sect's junior fellow, not only successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Golden Core, but also successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm outside through his own efforts.

For a moment, it not only shocked everyone in the "Xiaoyao Sect", but also caused a stir in the entire "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" cultivation world.

Thirty years passed in a flash, and the changes between the two made Chen Xuanxin sigh in his heart.

As a sound transmission note flew out from Chen Xuanxin's hand, the restrictions outside the cave quickly dissipated, and a somewhat pale voice immediately came out from inside.

"Second Junior Brothers, please come in first!"

Hearing this, Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian and Chen Xuanxin nodded and walked straight in. They soon saw Li Mufeng who was in seclusion here to recuperate.

"Hello, Senior Brother Li!"

"Junior Brother Song, Junior Sister Bai, please be polite and take a seat first!"

As soon as the two of them walked into the cave, Li Mufeng immediately stood up, smiled and nodded in return to them.

Because of being injured by the "Black Dragon Demon King" before, Li Mufeng's face was obviously pale.

However, in front of Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian, although Li Mufeng's injuries had not yet recovered, he still tried his best to maintain a smile on his face.

"How is your injury, brother?

What on earth happened here? Why was Senior Brother suddenly tricked by the Black Dragon Demon King? Could it be that he is a new Demon King from the north?"

Hearing the anxious worry in Bai Yuxian's tone, Li Mufeng quickly shook his head calmly and said:

“That’s not the case. This time, the demon beast army from the northern demon tribe basically came from Jinyu Mountain.

The only Nascent Soul Demon King who came here was the Black Dragon Demon King!"

"How is it possible that there is only one Black Dragon Demon King?"

Ever since the "Black Dragon Demon King" replaced the original "Golden Feather Demon King" and occupied Jinyu Mountain a hundred years ago, Li Mufeng and the "Black Dragon Demon King" have fought at least a dozen times.

Because both of them are cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the difference in their magical powers is not that big, and every battle is almost always evenly matched.

Whether it is Li Mufeng or the "Black Dragon Demon King", it would be difficult to break the deadlock on the battlefield without help from others.

After hearing Li Mufeng's answer, Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian both showed some surprise on their faces. For a moment, they didn't understand how the other party had injured Li Mufeng.

Seeing the two of them so surprised, Li Mufeng sighed helplessly, and then continued:

“Before, I saw that the only people coming from outside were our old rivals, the Jinyu Mountain Demon Clan, and I didn’t pay much attention to them, which is why I was a little careless.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for decades, the Black Dragon Demon King not only improved his cultivation to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, but also possessed a very powerful fourth-grade upper-grade magic weapon. "

"Brother Li, you are talking about a fourth-grade, top-grade magic weapon! How could this guy have such a thing?"

In the world of cultivating immortals, magical weapons and spiritual objects above level four are extremely rare. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can only own one or two low-grade level four magical weapons at most, not counting their “natal magical weapons”.

Magical weapons of level 4 mid-grade or above are already very rare. Among the three Nascent Soul cultivators of the "Xiaoyao Sect", only Li Mufeng has two magic weapons of level 4 mid-grade.

Moreover, the two fourth-level mid-grade magic weapons on him were not obtained by him from outside, but inherited from the previous generation of Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator outside, even if he could cultivate to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it would be difficult for him to possess a fourth-level mid-grade magic weapon.

As for the fourth-grade top-quality magic weapons, they are something that can only be encountered by chance but not sought after. For ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, many of them may hardly ever see them in their entire lives.

Among the hundreds of "immortal cultivation sects" in the entire Floating Cloud Mountains, only the "Wanling Sect" and the "Xingchen Sect" have one each.

This is also the reason why Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian were so shocked when they heard that the "Black Dragon Demon King" could take out a fourth-level top-grade magic weapon.

If the "Black Dragon Demon King" could really get such a powerful magic weapon, and Li Mufeng was not aware of it beforehand and was a little careless, he would have underestimated the enemy.

The outcome of the battle is not so surprising.

Seeing that the two were still somewhat unbelievable, Li Mufeng smiled and continued to confirm:

“Yes, it is indeed a fourth-level top-grade magic weapon.

The magic weapon was a white silver bell, which could not only enchant the mind, but also summon a silver sword light to attack the consciousness of cultivators like us, making it impossible for us to concentrate on casting spells.

It is considered a very difficult high-level magic weapon to deal with.

After fighting with the Black Dragon Demon King so many times, this was the first time I saw him use this treasure, and I was really caught off guard.

When I fought with him before, I was injured by this magic weapon. It was really dangerous and I almost couldn't come back.

Fortunately, my injuries were not that serious. After a few days of recuperation, they have almost healed.

The loss of spiritual consciousness is not so easy to recover. It is estimated that it will take a few more years of recuperation before it can be fully recovered.

You don't need to worry too much about me because of this injury."

"I see!

The sudden increase in strength of the Black Dragon Demon King was really beyond our expectations. No wonder he dared to lead the demon army to attack the south alone.

No one knew where this monster got this top-grade fourth-level magic weapon, which actually increased his strength so much.

If this continues, the North will become increasingly restless in the future."

After hearing Li Mufeng's explanation, Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming finally put their worries about his injuries to rest.

But soon, everyone shifted their doubts to the powerful magic weapon that the "Black Dragon Demon King" suddenly obtained, and they couldn't help but frowned again.

Before this, the "Black Dragon Demon King" was a fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator who was not much different from Li Mufeng.

Now that the "Black Dragon Demon King" has advanced to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, and has an additional powerful fourth-grade top-grade magic weapon on his body, his strength is clearly no longer something that Li Mufeng can restrain alone.

Seeing Bai Yuxian mention the origin of the powerful magic weapon on the "Molong Demon King", Li Mufeng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

“Over the years, the Demon King Molong has been in seclusion to break through the realm, and he only successfully came out not long ago. It is impossible for him to have the time to refine a magic weapon of this level.

I think this fourth-grade top-quality magic weapon was not made by the Black Dragon Demon King himself. There may be other demon kings behind it.

But for a moment, I couldn't tell where he got the treasure from.

We can discuss this matter later.

The most urgent task is to find a way to repel the Black Dragon Demon King.

Junior Sister Bai, my spiritual awareness is damaged now, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to exert much strength when I go out to fight tomorrow.

The magical weapon, the Golden Flame Bottle, will be left to you for the time being. Junior Brother Song and I will help you to contain the Black Dragon Demon King. See if you can find an opportunity to severely damage this demon.

If we fail to seize this opportunity, I am afraid we will still have to pay a heavy price to deal with this matter a dozen years from now."

After Li Mufeng finished speaking, a flash of inspiration came into his hand, and he took out a palm-sized golden jade bottle and carefully handed it to Bai Yuxian.

This "Golden Flame Bottle" magic weapon is one of the two level four intermediate-grade magic weapons on Li Mufeng's body, and it is also the most powerful magic weapon he has.

Ever since the first Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Xiaoyao Sect obtained this item, it has been passed down in the sect for thousands of years.

Almost every generation of the sect's Nascent Soul master regards it as the most powerful trump card they have, and has relied on it to reverse the sect's unfavorable situation countless times.

Seeing that Li Mufeng entrusted the "Golden Flame Bottle" to her, Bai Yuxian also knew how powerful it was, and her expression couldn't help but become a little solemn.

"Brother Li, rest assured, I will do my best!"

After handing over the magic weapon in his hand to Fairy Queen Baiyu, Li Mufeng discussed tomorrow's tactics with the two of them again.

Soon, as the sun rose in the sky, the sound of gongs and drums indicating the attack of monsters rang out outside the "White Dragon Valley", breaking the tranquility of the battlefield.

Song Qingming and others standing on the top of the mountain looked at the army of monsters attacking from outside, their faces gradually becoming solemn.

Without any orders from the cultivators above, the many human cultivators guarding the "mountain protection formation" on the mountain had already begun to make various preparations to counterattack at any time.

As soon as the army of monsters arrived in front of the formation, countless arrows, talismans, and sword lights flew out from the "mountain protection formation" and directly knocked the low-level monsters in the front to the ground.

As the first wave of attacks gradually ended, Chen Xuanxin, Song Qingyu and many other Jindan elders of the "Xiaoyao Sect" took the lead in rushing out and fought with the Jindan Demon King who was coming from the other side.

The two sides had been sworn enemies for who knows how many years and had some understanding of each other. The fight was very intense back and forth.

A low-level monster below had just engaged in combat with its opponent. A man in black armor in the sky was looking at all this, and a complex look immediately flashed across his eyes.

"Hey! He didn't dare to come out a few days ago, why did he suddenly show up again today?

Did they finally? "

Just as the "Black Dragon Demon King" was thinking patiently in mid-air, a figure from the "White Dragon Valley" below flew out from the mountain protection formation and pointed directly to the sky.

“Fellow Daoist Mo Long! The teachings you gave me the other day were really great and really benefited me a lot.

Today, please come out for a while, and let's compete!"

Seeing Li Mufeng walking out of the "White Dragon Valley" on his own initiative, a trace of disdain flashed across the face of the "Black Dragon Demon King" and he directly moved towards the other party.

"Friend Li, I didn't expect that you, even though your injuries haven't healed yet, would dare to challenge me.

It seems that the lesson last time was too light for you.

However, based on your current state, you are no match for me. If any helpers come, just shout them out together!"

After saying this, the "Black Dragon Demon King" glanced around again, obviously having guessed the source of Li Mufeng's inexplicable confidence.

Seeing this, Li Mufeng did not show too much politeness to the other party. He waved his hand and summoned a fourth-level flying sword magic weapon, and took the initiative to attack the "Black Dragon Demon King".

"Humph! You don't know your own limitations."

Seeing Li Mufeng coming up and taking the initiative to attack, the "Black Dragon Demon King" did not show much surprise on his face. He directly cast a spell and started fighting with the opponent in the sky.

Just as the two were fighting hard with spells, two figures, one on the left and one on the right, quietly sneaked into the battlefield behind them.

Just as Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian were gradually approaching the battlefield between Li Mufeng and the "Black Dragon Demon King", suddenly a powerful spiritual light fell directly from the sky and landed on the ground.

The next moment, as a huge cloud of smoke dissipated, a huge deep pit suddenly appeared on the battlefield below, and a woman in white was standing above the deep pit with some annoyance.

"He actually discovered it in advance!"

In order to hide their identities and quietly approach the "Black Dragon Demon King", Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian both cast spells to conceal their cultivation and slowly approached the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, before the two had walked less than half the distance, Bai Yuxian had already been discovered by the "Black Dragon Demon King".

Seeing this, Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming no longer hid their identities, and directly surrounded the location of the "Black Dragon Demon King" from the left and right.

At the same time, Li Mufeng also began to cast spells with all his strength, urging the magic weapon in his hand to entangle the "Black Dragon Demon King" in front of him.

But he had just taken action not long when the "Black Dragon Demon King" had already sensed the danger and moved his body to transform into his true form.

Afterwards, the Black Dragon Demon King opened his mouth and spit out a large cloud of black smoke, which directly blocked Li Mufeng in front of him.

Before Song Qingming and Bai Yuxian arrived, the "Black Dragon Demon King" had already stepped on the black cloud and turned into a black spiritual light, fleeing to the north.

Before this, the "Black Dragon Demon King" had already learned from the south that Song Qingming had already formed a Nascent Soul, and since he knew that the people coming were Bai Yuxian and Song Qingming.

Although his cultivation strength has far surpassed Li Mufeng, when facing the three Nascent Soul cultivators working together, perhaps only a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can be sure of victory.

The current "Black Dragon Demon King" obviously knows in his heart that his strength is not yet up to this level, so he decisively chose to retreat.

"Chase!"

Seeing that the other party didn't even want to fight and just ran away so decisively, Li Mufeng and the other two were a little surprised. They could only follow the other party's escape trail and chase after him.

However, the cultivation level of the "Black Dragon Demon King" is higher than that of Song Qingming and the other two.

Although they chased all the way to a location less than a few hundred miles away from "Golden Feather Mountain", they still had to watch the "Black Dragon Demon King" plunge into their own sacred mountain.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingming and the other two showed helplessness on their faces and had to turn around and return to "White Dragon Valley".

Song Qingming and his companions discussed for so long yesterday, just wanting to take advantage of the fact that the "Black Dragon Demon King" was unaware that they had returned to the front line for support, and suddenly attack and catch the opponent off guard.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for decades, the vigilance of the "Black Dragon Demon King" suddenly increased several times for some reason, and he had already been on guard against their plans.

Moreover, the monster's previously hot temper was restrained a lot. No matter how Song Qingming and others ridiculed it from behind, it just ran away without caring.

This really surprised Song Qingming and the other two.

As expected, these demon kings who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage are not so easy to deal with. It is not so easy to attract their attention.

Since they failed to capture the "Black Dragon Demon King", they cannot give up easily on the demon army outside the "White Dragon Valley".

By the time Song Qingming and the other two returned to "White Dragon Valley", the demon army here had also received news of the retreat in advance and fled in all directions.

Those demon kings with high levels of cultivation went northward in greater numbers, wanting to follow the "Black Dragon Demon King" back to Jinyu Mountain.

Unfortunately, some of these demon kings were unlucky and ran directly into Song Qingming and his companions who were returning.

Song Qingming and the other two, feeling unwilling in their hearts, simply swallowed their pride and vented their anger at the defeated army of monsters.

Along the way, the three of them killed four demon kings in succession, along with hundreds of Foundation Establishment stage demon beasts and countless Qi Refining stage demons.

By the time Song Qingming and the other two returned to "White Dragon Valley", the war here had already ended, and everyone's faces showed a look of relief at having survived a calamity.

This time, not only did they repel the powerful enemies outside, but they also captured a lot of monster materials.

For a moment, everyone's faces were filled with joy. (End of this chapter)
