Time passed slowly, and two months later...

That night, two cultivators arrived at the foot of Lingxiao Mountain.

One middle-aged man and one young man.

The younger cultivator among the two immediately used Sound Amplification Technique upon arriving at the Lingxiao Mountain, shouting loudly towards the Lingxiao Mountain.

"I am Luo Qiuming of the Falling Dusk Luo Clan. I would like to request an audience with Ling Daoyou Ling Pengyun."

Not long after, Ling Pengyun rode his Wind Shadow Peng down the mountain and met the young cultivator named Luo Qiuming.

When Ling Pengyun saw Luo Qiuming arrive, he glanced at the Qi Training Late Stage cultivator next to Luo Qiuming, who was wearing a Daoist robe that looked like Lineage cultivator's robe, but he didn't recognize him. Somewhat puzzled, he asked Luo Qiuming.

"Luo Daoist Friend, did you come here to find me because you discovered traces of Devil Cultivator? Why didn't you just crush the Mother-Child Token and send a message to me?"

"And from which sect does this fellow cultivator at the Qi Training Late Stage belong? Could you please introduce him?"

Luo Qiuming is the son of Luo Minghui, the Clan Head the Falling Dusk Luo Clan. He entered the Foundation Establishment several years ago and now has the Foundation Establishment.

Several months ago, when Tian Yuan and his group of Devil Cultivator were causing trouble in Huai River County, Ling Pengyun had met with Luo Qiuming and discussed in detail the matter of jointly Demonbane Market.

Luo Qiuming then gave Ling Pengyun a Second Rank Low Grade Mother-Child Token. Within three miles, if either party's token is crushed, the other party's token will also be crushed.

The moment the token shattered, it meant that the other party had discovered the Devil Cultivator's whereabouts and was asking for help.

Luo Qiuming shook his head and explained, "I came here not because I found any trace of Devil Cultivator."

"It's because the fellow Daoist beside me is an elder of the Sun Clan family, Foundation Establishment Family in Ice Flood Dragon County, named Sun Mingzhong."

"The Sun family, where Elder Sun is located, suffered a great loss of cultivators stationed in the clan due to the chaos caused by a group of Devil Cultivator a few months ago. Only a dozen or so cultivators remain to guard the territory."

"Just at the beginning of this morning, two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast and more than a thousand Qi Training Demon Beast broke into the Sun Clan's territory."

"This group of Demon Beast forced the Sun Clan cultivators to retreat in defeat, leaving them no choice but to retreat to their Sun Clan Mountain and rely on a Second Rank Low Grade Defense Array to hold them off with great difficulty."

"I brought Elder Sun with me today to invite Ling Daoyou to join me in supporting the Sun Clan."

Sun Mingzhong, who was standing to the side, quickly chimed in with his agreement. "If Senior Ling is willing to support my Sun Clan, my Sun Clan is willing to immediately provide you with three hundred Spirit Stone. After the matter is settled, we will also give you another three hundred Spirit Stone."

"The corpses of the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast you slayed during your support of the Sun Clan also belong to you."

When Ling Pengyun heard that the generous gift offered by the Sun Clan was a hundred more Spirit Stone than the one he had given to the Cloud Mist Wen Clan, he was immediately tempted.

However, he had many concerns and politely declined.

"Elder Sun, my Ling Clan currently only has one Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge of the Lineage, which is incomparable to Fellow Luo Daoist Friend's Lineage, which has two Foundation Establishment Cultivator in charge."

"Now, just like your Ice Flood Dragon County, my Huai River County has been plagued by Devil Cultivator Devil Cultivator. If I leave my Lineage's territory to support your Sun Clan and they seize the opportunity to attack my Ling Clan family, it will be troublesome."

"Furthermore, it is currently a time of Demon Beast Uprising. If I leave, and a horde of Demon Beast suddenly breaks into the Lineage's territory, the dangers would be even greater."

"Therefore, I'm afraid I can't be of much help in this matter of providing assistance, and I hope Elder Sun won't take offense."

"You could go to Cloudwater County Huai River County, which is next to Huaishui County Peace Cloud Yang Clan for help. As far as I know, during the Demon Beast Uprising, the Peace Cloud Yang Clan, like Fellow Luo Daoist Friend's Lineage, currently has two members stationed in the clan."

"They might support your Sun Clan."

The Falling Dusk Luo Clan, to which Luo Qiuming belongs, has three Foundation Establishment: the Clan Head Luo Minghui, his Daoist partner Li Xia, and Luo Qiuming himself.

During this Demon Beast Uprising, only Luo Clan Luo Minghui, who was in the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, went to the front line, while Li Xia and Luo Qiuming stayed in the Luo Clan territory.

As for Ling Pengyun's amiable attitude towards Sun Mingzhong, it was because Sun Mingzhong came from the Sun Mingzhong, Sun Clan clan that Foundation Establishment. The Ice Flood Dragon County, where the Sun Clan was located, was right next to the Huai River County.

Although the Sun Clan suffered severe damage to its foundation during this Demon Beast Uprising, Sun Clan still has a Foundation Establishment Realm Clan Head and thirty cultivators above the Qi Training Middle Stage stationed in West Yang Market Town.

Once the Demon Beast Uprising ends, those cultivators will return to the Sun Family Clan Mountain.

The two families might have business dealings in the future, so Ling Pengyun naturally adhered to the idea of not offending them if possible.

Seeing Ling Pengyun's refusal, Sun Mingzhong Mingzhong's expression showed a hint of helplessness, and he looked pleadingly at Luo Qiuming beside him, who had already agreed to support his Lineage.

Seeing Sun Mingzhong's expression, Luo Qiuming understood his thoughts and then spoke up to persuade Ling Pengyun.

"Cloudwater County is quite far from here, and we are not familiar with the Peace Cloud Yang Clan. Even if the Yang Clan agrees, I am not at ease to go with the Yang Clan's Foundation Establishment Cultivator to support the Sun Clan in killing the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast. Who knows if the Yang Clan's Foundation Establishment will betray us after using us?"

"The Peace Cloud Yang Clan is very powerful. Even if the betrayal happens, my father will find it difficult to get justice for me afterwards."

"Under these circumstances, it would be best to seek out Ling Daoyou like Fellow Daoist Ling, who are familiar with the situation and also reside in Huai River County, to join forces and support the Sun Clan."

"As for the matter of Devil Cultivator and Demon Beast hordes, Ling Daoyou, do not worry. I have a Second Rank Low Grade flying boat, which is enough to support us to travel nearly 30,000 miles a day."

"The place where we are is only about 10,000 miles away from the Sun Clan Mountain in Bingjiao County. With my flying boat, we can get there in half a day at most. It won't take long to fight the Foundation Establishment demon beast. We can return in less than a day."

"If anything changes in your Lineage during the day I leave, I will immediately bring you back."

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was startled.

Second Rank Low Grade flying boat is an extremely expensive item, costing at least three thousand Spirit Stone to purchase on the market.

This amount of Spirit Stone is extremely large.

"As expected of a Aristocratic Clan specializing in array formations, the Luo Clan is incredibly wealthy. Even Luo Qiuming is only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, is equipped with such an expensive second-tier flying boat." Ling Pengyun was secretly surprised.

Because of the unexpected fact that Luo Qiuming had a second-tier flying boat with extremely high flight speed, Ling Pengyun considered for a moment and then spoke.

"Since Luo Daoist Friend has considered everything so thoroughly, then I will participate in providing support."

"I just don't know the exact cultivation level of the two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast that attacked the Sun Family Clan Mountain. If they are at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill them. At most, I can only hold them off for a while."

When Sun Mingzhong saw that Ling Pengyun had agreed to provide support, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately spoke up to dispel Ling Pengyun's doubts and concerns.

"The two Foundation Establishment Demon Beast that attacked my Sun Family Clan Mountain have Foundation Establishment Third Layer and Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivation respectively. Senior Luo has already agreed to kill the Foundation Establishment Level 3 Demon Beast. Senior Ling, you only need to kill the Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment 1 Demon Beast."

Ling Pengyun felt relieved after hearing this.

Although he is currently only at the peak of the first level of Foundation Establishment, he has mastered the two second-tier Law Technique, Primal Water Technique and Water Serpent Technique, to perfection. In addition, with his Innate Spell spell, Azure Sea Sky Sword Art, he is confident that he can not only kill first-level Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, but also second-level Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.

After all, not long ago, he had killed a Demon Beast at the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Ling Pengyun was not surprised that Luo Qiuming, who was at the second level of Foundation Establishment, was confident in killing Demon Beast at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

As far as he knew, Nalu Luo Qiuming was a highly skilled Array Formation Master with considerable talent in array formations.

Relying on the art of formations, Ling Pengyun would not be surprised if he could kill enemies even if they were at a higher realm than him, let alone those at a lower realm.

"Please wait for me a moment, I need to go back to the mountains and give some instructions to my people."

After saying this, Ling Pengyun returned to the Clan Mountain, gave instructions to Ling Pengliang, the acting Great Elder in the Affairs Hall, and then left the Clan Mountain.

Together with Sun Mingzhong, they boarded Luo Qiuming's flying boat and flew away from this place.

Luo Qiuming's second-tier low-grade flying boat was indeed extremely fast. In just four hours, it traversed a distance of ten thousand miles and entered the vicinity of the Sun Clan Mountain in Ice Dragon County.

As Sun Mingzhong had said, the situation at Sun Family Clan Mountain was indeed being besieged by more than a thousand Demon Beast.

If it weren't for the massive golden light barrier protecting the Sun Family Clan Mountain, they would probably have been trampled to death by those Demon Beast long ago.

The two Foundation Establishment Demon Beast Demon Beast leading the attack on the Sun Family Clan Mountain were of the same clan, namely two Gale Wolf.

The wolf king had the highest cultivation level, reaching the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, while the wolf queen was weaker, only at the first level of Foundation Establishment.

Perhaps because of those two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Gale Wolf, among the more than one thousand Demon Beast besieging the Sun Family Clan Mountain, there were as many as three or four hundred Qi Training Stage Gale Wolf.

Ling Pengyun, who was aboard the flying boat that Luo Qiuming was riding, saw the large pack of Gale Wolf Pack and his expression changed slightly as an idea came to mind.

"The adult members of the Gale Wolf clan can all reach at least the Early-Stage Qi Training, and their aptitude is quite good."

"Once they reach adulthood, these wolves are about the size of calves, and cultivators can ride them. Moreover, the wolves' reproductive capacity is quite good among Demon Beast."

"Considering all these advantages, if we could capture a few Gale Wolf this time and return them to our tribe to be tamed and raised in captivity by our second aunt, it would be a good option."

In the brief moment that Ling Pengyun was stunned, Luo Qiuming had already piloted the flying boat, quickly taking Ling Pengyun and Luo Mingzhong to the outside of the Sun Family Clan Mountain.

The Sun Clan family cultivators in the mountains saw Sun Mingzhong, who was on the flying boat seeking help, and immediately recognized the identities of Luo Qiuming and Ling Pengyun, who were traveling with him and exuding Foundation Establishment aura.

Subsequently, a gap appeared in the defensive light barrier protecting the Sun Family Clan Mountain.

Luo Qiuming also controlled the flying boat beneath his feet and safely entered the formation through the gap.

After entering the mountain, Ling Pengyun and Luo Qiuming immediately attacked the two Foundation Establishment wolf demons outside the mountain.

Because they were inside the Sun Family Clan Mountain, protected by Mountain Protection Formation of light, both of them only cast a defensive Law Technique on themselves to guard against each other and the Sun Clan cultivators in the area, and did not pay much attention to defense.

Instead, they unleash their full offensive capabilities.

After Ling Pengyun unleashed the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords at the Foundation Establishment 1 mother wolf outside the mountain, he Hand Seals to cast the Water Serpent Technique, summoning water serpents to attack.

Luo Qiuming opened his mouth and spat out eighteen Second Rank Low Grade earth-yellow array flags, sending them out of the mountain to surround the wolf king at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

"The Yellow Sand Erosion Grand Array".

"Rise."

Luo Qiuming made a hand Hand Seals and pondered for a moment.

Outside the mountains.

The eighteen earthen-yellow array flags surrounding the Foundation Establishment Third Layer wolf king suddenly flashed with inspiration, forming an array that conjured a thick earthen-yellow light screen, enveloping the wolf king.

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny grains of yellow sand surged forth from within the light screen, continuously sweeping over the wolf king's body.

In just a short while, the wolf king's flesh and blood were corroded away, with most of it missing, and many bones were visible to the naked eye.

If the wolf king hadn't used its Law Technique in time to conjure a hurricane to envelop itself and block the sandstorm, it would probably have been killed by the sandstorm created by the formation.

However, even the hurricane conjured by the wolf king could only withstand the attack for a few breaths before being destroyed by the vast expanse of yellow sand.

This forced the wolf king to use its Inner Core Divine Power Protective Yuan Qi energy and resist the sweeping yellow sand.

The Sun Family Clan Mountain.

Ling Pengyun, who was fighting the Foundation Establishment one mother wolf outside the mountain, glanced at the power of the eighteen yellow array flags that Luo Qiuming had set up to form a magic array, and was immediately shocked.

"I never expected that Luo Qiuming would have his Lifebound Array Flag after only a few years of Foundation Establishment."

"And the power of these banners is so great."

"It seems that Luo Mingqiu, who is only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, was able to refine those eighteen Second Rank Low Grade Lifebound Array Flag, which is largely due to his father's help."

Ling Pengyun did not believe that Luo Qiuming alone could refine a set of eighteen Second Rank Low Grade Lifebound Array Flag.

These eighteen Lifebound Array Flag are of extremely Higher Vehicle; the spiritual materials used to refine these flags alone would probably require at least five thousand Spirit Stone.

After all, there were a large number of flags.
