Chapter 315 Qingniu Ridge
After Song Qingming quickly came to the gathering place in the middle of the market, he saw that in addition to some Qi-refining cultivators stationed in the market, Liu Wenguan and Cao Rongxue, the two with the highest cultivation in the entire Huanglong Market, were already waiting here.
After seeing Song Qingming coming, the two did not speak, but just nodded and greeted him.
Not long after, several other foundation-building cultivators who also did not know what was going on also hurried over here.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Wenguan coughed twice and then said, "Fellow Daoists, I just received an urgent message in the cave. A large number of enemy cultivators were found in Qingniuling, which is about a hundred miles away from us. Master Fang has sent people to surround them and ordered us to send people to assist.
This time, Master Fang personally issued the order. He attaches so much importance to it. It is estimated that the enemy should have sent a lot of people. This is a good opportunity for everyone to establish merit. Before this, I have discussed with Daoist Cao. This time, she will lead the team to support, and I will stay to guard the market. I wonder which Daoist is willing to go with Daoist Cao."
Hearing Liu Wenguan's words, everyone's faces changed in different ways. Some people like Cao Rongxue, who were anxious to kill the enemy and make merit, had excited and happy faces.
After being at the frontline of Lu State for such a long time, Cao Rongxue, who had been hiding in the market, could no longer bear it. When she heard the news, she and Liu Wenguan immediately volunteered to lead the team to support.
There were also people like Zhao Mengzhen who looked a little panicked. The reason he came to the frontline of Lu State was that he was recruited by Xiaoyao Sect like Song Qingming, not like Cao Rongxue who came for merit. Zhao Mengzhen naturally didn't want to participate in such a dangerous battle.
After being at Huanglongfang for such a long time, Zhao Mengzhen actively carried out several missions with Cao Rongxue, Song Qingming and others, but he was actually very cautious every time he went out. If it was not a necessary battle, he would not think of taking the initiative to take risks.
As soon as Liu Wenguan finished speaking, several people immediately asked to go with Cao Rongxue to carry out the support mission, including Song Qingming, who also wanted to go out to find an opportunity to see if he could earn some merit.
"My fellow Taoists, the matter is urgent, so I'll leave it to you. I hope everyone can gain something this time and complete this mission smoothly."
After a quick discussion, everyone immediately decided on the candidates to go.
In addition to Cao Rongxue and Song Qingming, there are Wei Tianhe and Wen Hou, a foundation-building cultivator who was originally stationed in the market. In addition, there are more than 40 elite Qi-refining disciples traveling with them.
At the beginning, Song Qingming, who came to Lu, actually had similar ideas to Zhao Mengzhen. He thought that he could give an explanation to Xiaoyao Sect on the front line, and tried not to take the initiative to participate in risky missions.
However, after he saw the second-level puppet beast, Song Qingming gradually changed his mind. Now he is also very interested in this opportunity to earn merits, and he is also looking forward to this action.
The target of this action, Qingniuling, is less than a hundred miles away from Huanglongfang. This distance is already quite close, and a Qi-refining cultivator can reach there in half a day.
In order to take care of the Qi-refining monks below, the group did not walk too fast along the way. It was not until half a day later that they arrived at the destination of this trip, Qingniuling.
Qingniuling was originally a second-level spiritual vein where monsters were entrenched. There were originally three second-level Qingniu monsters on this spiritual mountain. These monsters like to live in groups and act together, and they don’t take the initiative to cross their own territory. They haven’t offended many human races, and no monks have chosen to take the initiative to provoke them.
Song Qingming and others stationed in Huanglongfang didn’t know that there were actually dozens of monks who had infiltrated their enemy Tianhai League living here. The reason why they didn’t attack Huanglongfang later was just to better hide themselves and not attract the attention of many monks from Lingyin Sect.
When Song Qingming and others arrived here, there were already many monks sent by Lingyin Sect outside Qingniuling. They were arranging magic arrays and other defensive measures outside Qingniuling to prevent the monks inside from running out.
This time, Lingyin Sect got the news from somewhere and blocked all the Tianhai League monks who had infiltrated the Lu State at Qingniuling. At this moment, they are summoning monks from all over the place, intending to catch all the enemy monks trapped inside.
Since the two sides started the war, facing these enemies who infiltrated the rear, the monks of both sides have been very troubled. These people are like mice hiding in the house, coming out from time to time to harass and attack the transportation routes in the rear, which makes the high-level leaders of Lingyin Sect very troubled.
The front battlefield is already a bit tight, and a large number of people have to be arranged to guard the market strongholds along the line. If this battle can solve these hidden troubles at once, it will solve a big problem for Lingyin Sect, at least for a period of time, they don't have to worry about these worries.
The Lingyin Sect monk who was responsible for the siege in Qingniuling was named Wang Liangping, an old foundation-building monk in Lingyin Sect.
This person has been building the foundation for many years and is quite experienced. After leading the monks to surround Qingniu Ridge, he saw that the other party had set up a second-level formation on the ridge. He did not choose to attack immediately, but patiently surrounded the place, set up a magic formation and slowly waited for the surrounding monks to come to support.
There are more than 30 Tianhai League monks trapped on Qingniu Ridge. These people are elite disciples of Tianhai League, and their cultivation is at least in the foundation-building stage. Because the Qi-refining disciples move too slowly and are not suitable for this kind of mission to sneak behind the enemy, all the Tianhai League monks who infiltrated into the territory of Lu are disciples above the foundation-building stage.
After they arrived in Lu, except for attacking the Lingyin Sect's material convoy every once in a while, they basically hid here to avoid the search of the other monks.
After discovering that they were trapped, the Tianhai League people had tried several waves to break out, but unfortunately they were all blocked by Wang Liangping and his men. Seeing that more and more monks were surrounded outside, the Tianhai League monks trapped on Qingniu Ridge gradually became a little restless.
At this moment, dozens of Tianhai League monks were gathered in a cave to discuss how to escape. Seeing that the situation at the foot of the mountain was getting worse and worse, they all chose to encourage a young man sitting at the top to quickly order a breakout.
"Brother Wu, it's time to attack decisively now. The longer time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. Make a decision quickly!"
"Yes! Brother Wu, make a decision!"
