After three days of fighting with the demonic cultivators, a group of cultivators finally arrived. Liu Xingfeng had been waiting in front of the camp with several Xiaoyao Sect cultivators early in the morning.
There were more than thirty cultivators in this team, led by three foundation-building cultivators. Seeing the people coming from the front, Liu Xingfeng finally put aside the worries of the past few days.
"I really didn't expect that it would be you, Senior Brother Chen, who came in person this time."
The leader of the three foundation-building cultivators was an old man with a rather amiable face. He was none other than Chen Xuanxin, the eighth-level foundation-building cultivator sent by the Xiaoyao Sect to support them.
The other two foundation-building cultivators were one tall and one short. The tall one was named Yuan Shengtang, who had reached the sixth level of foundation-building. The other one was named Chu Yanlong, who had reached the fourth level of foundation-building and had been doing so for less than thirty years.
Chen Xuanxin was dressed in ordinary gray Taoist attire and looked amiable, but he exuded the spiritual power and pressure of a genuine foundation-building cultivator.
Chen Xuanxin stroked his beard and smiled at Liu Xingfeng, "Haha, Junior Sister Liu, you're too polite. I heard about the evil Yang Wuqi, so how could I not come and see him? This old demon has slipped away from me several times, causing me to lose face in the sect. If I can't kill this demon, I'm afraid I'll always have this worry in my heart."
Liu Xingfeng nodded and said, "Brother Chen, although we found Yang Wuqi's hiding place this time, this demon fought with me a few days ago, and their hiding cave has been exposed. They may have already fled here."
"It's okay. I've dealt with this demon for several years and know how cunning and treacherous he is. I also have some experience dealing with him. It's better for me to come and see for myself than for others to try to find his whereabouts."
"Senior Sister Liu, please take us to see your old demon's lair first." If we go there earlier, maybe Senior Brother Chen will be able to find the trace of Old Demon Yang more easily.
Chu Yanlong, who was standing aside, was a little anxious and urged Liu Xingfeng and the others.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you two senior brothers and Junior Brother Chu."
Liu Xingfeng also knew that this Junior Brother Chu was a well-known impatient person in the sect. Seeing this situation, she hurriedly took Chen Xuanxin and several other foundation-building cultivators to Yang Wuqi's cave.
Four sword lights shot up into the sky and soon flew above a hundred feet. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the speed of flying on a sword was several times faster than that of a Qi Refining cultivator traveling at full speed. It took the four of them less than half an hour to reach the destination of the two hundred miles.
Seeing the destroyed altar, Chen Xuan said with a heavy heart, "It's been a few years since we last met. Yang Wuqi has really improved. I heard from Junior Sister Liu that when she fought him, this old demon gained another magic knife."
"The magic sword that the old demon used that day was very powerful. Fortunately, this magic weapon has not yet reached its peak, otherwise I would have found it difficult to defeat this demon."
Liu Xingfeng recounted in detail to the three foundation-building cultivators present some details of the fight with Yang Wuqi that day.
Although Liu Xingfeng's cultivation level is one level lower than Yang Wuqi's, she has two powerful second-level mid-grade magic weapons, and her fighting ability is not inferior to that of an ordinary fifth-level foundation-building cultivator.
However, compared with Yang Wuqi holding the magic knife, she also felt that her current cultivation and supernatural powers were still a little lacking.
On that day, Yang Wuqi was afraid that there were other foundation-building cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect nearby, so he had no intention of fighting with Liu Xingfeng and only wanted to escape. It was not until Liu Xingfeng chased him relentlessly that Yang Wuqi had no choice but to use the magic knife to get rid of Liu Xingfeng's entanglement.
Otherwise, if Yang Wuqi had really used the magic knife to fight to the death at the beginning, Liu Xingfeng would have been injured more seriously and might not have been able to escape unscathed.
After listening to Liu Xingfeng's words, Chen Xuanxin sighed and said with some worry:
"Looking at this situation, it seems that the magic weapon that this demon is refining here is this magic weapon. Once Yang Wuqi refines this magic weapon, who knows how many people will die at his hands."
Chu Yanlong said, "It seems that the old demon has already left this place. Brother Chen, see if you can find the trace of this demon. Before Yang Wuqi can refine the magic sword, kill this demon and eliminate the future trouble."
"Brother Chen, I will take you to Yang Wuqi's cave and see if you can find any trace of this demon."
The four of them soon arrived at the cave opened by the demon cultivator. Unfortunately, after being tracked by Chen Xuanxin for several years, the demon Yang Wuqi had become very cautious and decisive in his actions. There was no clue left in the cave for Chen Xuanxin to track him.
After escaping from Liu Xingfeng's entanglement, he sent a message to his disciples, informing them of the new meeting point, and then directly abandoned the nest that he had painstakingly built for several years and quickly fled from the Floating Cloud Mountains.
The camp, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again because of a team of Xiaoyao Sect monks brought by Chen Xuanxin and his group.
Seeing dozens of cultivators coming into the camp, Song Qingming initially thought that they were the nearby Feiyun Guards, who were transferred by Liu Xingfeng to replace them and continue their mission.
Later, he felt that these cultivators were somewhat arrogant. It was not until he went to ask Wei Tong that he learned that these people were sent by the Xiaoyao Sect to eliminate the demonic cultivators.
After Liu Xingfeng and the other three returned to the camp, Song Qingming and other Feiyun Guards soon received orders to retreat to Guiyunfang. The camp here was also handed over to the Xiaoyao Sect monks who came to clear out the demonic cultivators.
Gao Yuyao and Xu Ziyan naturally stayed in the camp with their master Liu Xingfeng to help search for the traces of the evil cultivators.
As the foundation-building cultivator in charge of the Feiyun Guard, Liu Xingfeng also gave some timely rewards to Song Qingming and the other eleven cultivators of the guard after the battle with the demon cultivator that day.
Including Song Qingming, the few survivors received a merit reward worth twenty spirit stones. As long as Song Qingming and others returned to the Feiyunwei base in Guiyunfang, they could exchange it for equivalent spiritual objects or spirit stones at any time.
In order to prevent them from walking too slowly with several seriously injured people and being attacked by monsters on the road, Liu Xingfeng specially arranged several Xiaoyao Sect disciples in the late Qi Refining stage to help protect them and ensure their smooth return to Guiyunfang.
After the battle with the demon cultivator, Song Qingming's Lieyang Sword was completely damaged not long after. Later, he relied on the defensive magic weapon Black Gold Shield and the talismans on his body to hold on to the end.
He originally wanted to ask Shi Mofeng to help him refine a magic weapon, but now that Taoist Shi was seriously injured, he naturally could not help him refine the magic weapon in a short period of time. He could only return the materials from the fire rats to Song Qingming. Later, when he learned that they were about to return to Guiyunfang, Taoist Shi enthusiastically introduced Song Qingming to a more famous weapon refining workshop in Guiyunfang.
After returning to Guiyunfang this time, he also needs to purchase one or two suitable magic weapons to replace the damaged Lieyang Sword. Now he has no shortage of spirit stones, and the only magic weapon he has is the Black Gold Shield, which is indeed a bit shabby.
After Song Qingming and others left, Chen Xuanxin and several other foundation-building cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect searched the Floating Cloud Mountains for two months but were unable to find any trace of the devil Yang Wuqi. In the end, they had to return empty-handed and returned to the Xiaoyao Sect.
Gao Yuyao continued to train with her master Liu Xingfeng in Feiyunwei, while Hu Daozhen and others were lucky enough to return to Guiyunfang with them.
After leaving the camp, Song Qingming and others had to slow down their pace because they were carrying several seriously injured people including Lu Yunfei. It was not until half a month later that they returned to Guiyunfang.
