Half an hour later, the sky returned to normal. Wei Chongran and fourteen Jindan cultivators stood in the air, with Li Yan also standing beside them. Below, Gong Yuantai was leading people to clean up the battlefield and look for the injured Fengliangshan cultivators.
"This battle was fought thanks to the presence of Fellow Daoist Wei, otherwise Tonggui Ridge would have fallen into the hands of the enemy today."
Looking at the billowing demonic smoke going away, an elegant-looking female Jindan cultivator looked at Wei Chongran for a few times and said with some fear.
In the battle between the demon and the Jindan just now, both sides suffered heavy casualties, especially the Jindan cultivators on the Fengliang Mountain side, where the casualties were much greater.
At this time, Wei Chongran's clothes were stained with blood, and his face was pale with an abnormal flush, but his breath was still steady.
As soon as the elegant female Jindan cultivator finished speaking, the other Jindan cultivators, whether they were from the Wuliang Sect or not, all nodded, with admiration in their eyes.
The four Jindan of the Wuliang Sect were also constantly sizing up this junior brother. They had not expected that Wei Chongran's cultivation had reached such a high level.
Even when the other side sent out an early Nascent Soul cultivator, they still failed to kill Wei Chongran. Instead, the two sides ended up in a battle of Jindan, resulting in both sides suffering losses.
After a long battle, the short-haired demon below could only lead the remaining soldiers to retreat. Before leaving, he showed awe towards Wei Chongran in the sky. In this world, no matter where the strong go, they will be respected by others, and demon cultivators are no exception.
Wei Chongran and Lei Andao fought equally, but strictly speaking, Wei Chongran was always at a disadvantage. However, Lei Andao was not sure that he could kill Wei Chongran without being seriously injured.
Lei Andao was unwilling to pay such a price even for Teng Wuji. After covering the short-haired demon and others as they retreated, Lei Andao also withdrew.
Li Yan was also constantly sizing up his master on the side. He himself could cross levels and fight, so of course he knew the difficulty of crossing levels.
In particular, the higher the level of the cultivator, the greater the level gap in the realm, and the gap between Nascent Soul and Golden Core is like heaven and earth.
In the classics he had read, since ancient times, it was extremely rare for a Jindan cultivator to be able to fight against a Yuanying cultivator, and when the two sides fought, the outcome was almost certain death.
Li Yan could not have imagined that his master had reached this point. Now he finally understood why Wei Chongran was able to defeat Teng Wuji in just a few moves.
Before that, many of the Jindan demons had retreated safely, but the twenty-five demon soldiers were almost all killed or injured.
Li Yan just caught up with the short and strong demon cultivator after starting late. The short and strong demon cultivator had developed an immense fear of Li Yan and had lost his balance mentally. After just a few moves from both sides, Li Yan knocked the short and strong demon cultivator to the ground.
Finally, before the short and strong demon cultivator died, he heard Li Yan's chuckle, but this time Li Yan's voice sounded familiar to him, and what Li Yan said was "I had a good chat with fellow Taoists in 'Zhou Yang Town', which must have happened not long ago..."
Then, the short and strong demon cultivator pointed his finger at Li Yan and seemed to be about to shout something, but Li Yan stepped heavily on his dantian.
Li Yan was thinking about today's events on the side. Wei Chongran did not take the praises from the people around him to heart. He shook his head after a while.
"Whether I'm here or not, this place won't be lost at all!"
After saying this, he turned his gaze towards the direction where the remaining demon soldiers were retreating, suddenly bowed respectfully into the air, and spoke loudly.
"Thank you three uncles for coming to help. Otherwise, if this place is lost, I and others will be blamed for our death!"
Wei Chongran's sudden action startled the other dozen cultivators and Li Yan who was called by Wei Chongran. They immediately looked in the direction where Wei Chongran bowed, but to their surprise, that direction was empty.
Just as everyone was confused, a powerful voice was heard from the sky.
"Haha, Da Cen has a disciple like you. Even if he dies, he will sit up from his coffin and laugh a few times. The young are to be feared, the young are to be feared!"
Then another gentle female voice came from above.
"Little guy, what he said is true. Da Cen has a good eye. As long as you are willing to retreat, you will be on par with us in a few years. We didn't help you just now, so you won't feel resentful, right?"
When the voice came, the dozen people below didn't understand why they didn't understand that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator hiding above them. They didn't notice it at all, but Wei Chongran could actually tell it in one sentence.
This kind of strength made them lose confidence in Wei Chongran's idea that he had just seen through, but when did these Nascent Soul cultivators arrive
At this time, it was obviously not something they dared to ask casually. More than a dozen Jindan and Li Yan hurriedly paid homage in the air.
What was strange was that although there was such a big commotion above them, the busy foundation-building monks below were still busy with their own things and no one noticed the abnormality in the air.
That was because the Nascent Soul cultivator didn't want to scare the cultivators below him, so he deliberately isolated the consciousness and vision of the cultivators below him.
"How dare I have such thoughts? Thank you, uncles, for giving me this opportunity to practice!"
Wei Chongran answered respectfully again.
“Well, you are smart, kid. Although you have reached the level where you can fight with ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, such opportunities are rare, and no one would be willing to fight with a junior.
This time you fight with that old demon, you will definitely benefit a lot after you return and gain insights! "
The gentle female cultivator's voice came again.
"Okay, let you handle the things here. The three of us have other things to do. As for the other party's Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators, you don't have to worry. If they show up, someone will deal with them!"
A powerful voice was heard immediately afterwards.
After hearing this, the dozen people below hurriedly saluted again. On ordinary days, if a Yuanying cultivator could say a word to them, it would be a rare opportunity. This at least showed a little affection. If there was a chance in the future, the other party might be able to enlighten or help them a little because of the friendship they had once met.
After the above sentence, there was no sound from then on. The last Yuanying did not say a word from beginning to end. It seems that he must be a person with a very indifferent personality.
While Wei Chongran was joining everyone in paying respects, the powerful voice in his consciousness brought some other news, which made Wei Chongran slightly stunned.
But he had always been very good at cultivating his Qi, and he concealed it immediately, without letting others notice anything wrong.
As the sound from the sky disappeared, the area returned to silence again, and no one spoke. After more than ten breaths, Wei Chongran was the first to break the silence.
"Now, fellow Taoists, you know the whole story, right? The demon army that attacked here just now was actually followed by three Nascent Soul-level demon generals.
There was just a person with a hidden aura hiding among the Jindan demon cultivators, who wanted to attack and kill me from behind. After he failed, he showed up and fought with me.
The other two Nascent Soul level demon generals had been hiding in the dark. They were also afraid of the presence of the three uncles, so they did not take action. In the end, they just let us fight. After a long time of attack, they secretly covered the remaining soldiers and retreated. "
In fact, Wei Chongran didn't need to explain. Each of these people was an old fellow who had practiced for hundreds of years. They were very thoughtful, and when a Nascent Soul cultivator spoke, he had already considered the cause of the matter in his mind.
Li Yan touched his nose, knowing that this was what his master explained to him.
"Sure enough, the battle between the enemy and us is not as simple as it seems, with soldiers fighting each other and generals fighting each other. In every battle, the top leaders of both sides are secretly playing games all the time."
Just now Li Yan was still thinking that if the other side sent two or more Nascent Soul cultivators, then even with his master here, it would be hard to say whether he could escape, not to mention these low-level cultivators.
Now it seems that I have been thinking too much. Those old monsters above are already very smart. It is not a big deal to look ten steps ahead before taking one step.
Of course, the reason why Wei Chongran explained all this to him was to let Li Yan know that he just had to do what he was supposed to do, and that things beyond his ability would be solved by others, so he didn't need to worry too much.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother! Once the war is temporarily suspended, Senior Brother will be able to conceive a baby in seclusion for a while!"
A Jindan cultivator from the Wuliang Sect seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes. We also want to congratulate Fellow Daoist Wei. It would have been great if you had shown such strength earlier. It would have made us feel more assured about the situation in Fengliang Mountain. Hahaha..."
Seeing Wei Chongran break the silence, they knew that the Nascent Soul cultivators in the air had already left. First, several fellow disciples from the Wuliang Sect hurried forward to congratulate them.
The monks from other sects nearby also congratulated him, but as to how many of them were expressing their sincere congratulations and how many were expressing resentment and jealousy, only he himself knew.
However, no matter what, on the surface they wanted to build a good relationship with Wei Chongran, that was the real thing.
As long as Wei Chongran doesn't die in this battle, he will definitely be the first to successfully form a Nascent Soul in the future and become the uncle of himself and others, and also a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Wuliang Sect.
Wei Chongran waved his hand. At this moment, he had already put away his double hammer magic weapons. There was a gentle look on his body, but there was no trace of the murderous intent he had just had.
"You all think too highly of me, Wei. No one has ever dared to claim success in forming a fetus.
We have to consolidate this place now. Tonggui Ridge has been completely destroyed, and the demon army will continue to attack."
Then his eyes swept around, where there were piles of rubble on the ground. These were the areas where the rubble rain from "Tonggui Ridge" had fallen.
"With our magic power, even if we move another mountain and set up another formation, it is feasible. The higher-ups above this protective formation can still grant us another one...
It’s just... just what kind of magic weapon did the demons use before? It was too overbearing!
A magical weapon of this power has the force of a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if we rebuild this place, they can still destroy it again.
By then, we won't be able to control the formation. I'm afraid we won't be able to fight them. If we attack like before, they just need to keep attacking multiple times, and we won't be able to handle it!"
"This kind of magic weapon is terrifying just thinking about it. If the two sides hadn't fought together just now, a magic weapon of that power would have left us with nothing left."
After Wei Chongran finished speaking, two Jindans nearby spoke thoughtfully. Especially the last Jindan, at the end of his speech, his consciousness quickly spread far away.
At the moment, there are more than a dozen Jindan gathered together. If that kind of magic weapon attacks them, it is estimated that only Wei Chongran has a chance to escape, and the rest of them are most likely to turn into ashes.
At this time, an old man from the Four Symbols Peak of the Wuliang Sect waved his hand. He had a high level of attainment in formations and refining.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng is overthinking. Although we have only launched three attacks before, judging from the battle situation during this period, this kind of magic weapon cannot be used easily.
Firstly, after such a long battle, this was the first time they had used it;
Secondly, we only attacked 'Tonggui Ridge', and none of the other defense points were attacked by this magic weapon.
Therefore, judging from these situations, this kind of powerful magic weapon either has a limit on the number of times it can be used within a certain period of time;
Either the consumption is extremely high when used once, which is something the demons cannot afford at will, so they would only use it in siege battles and have not used it yet.
Moreover, if I am not mistaken, they are probably trying to use this magic weapon to deal with us, but it is probably difficult. We should have seniors who have already targeted them. "
