Qinghua Mountain is located in the northeast direction of Chongmao Ridge, more than 300 miles away from Chongmao Ridge.

  In terms of overall strength, Qinghua Mountain is close to Bixiao Gate, with more than a dozen Golden Dan masters stationed there, hundreds of foundation-building cultivators, and over 3,000 Qi-refining disciples.

  The Liangzhou demonic cultivators, including the Lie Tian Sect, Hua Xue Wumu, Tian Gai Men, Wu Sha Jiao, and Wan Shou Zong, formed an alliance to attack. Although their overall strength was originally weaker than that of the seven sects of the Chu State immortal realm, the Qiu Feng Sect colluded with the demonic cultivators and launched a surprise counterattack at Chi Mang Ridge, causing the seven sects alliance to collapse instantly. Moreover, after losing the Qiu Feng Sect, the remaining six sects' overall strength was already weaker than that of the demonic cultivators.

  Then Qingfeng Valley and Xuanyang Sect were attacked by the Demon Path at a thunderous speed, making the various sects of the Chu State Xianxia unable to support each other, and could only fight on their own, relying on their protective mountain arrays to protect their own doors, and no longer having the energy to care about the life and death of other sects.

  After taking down Qingfeng Valley and Xuanyang Sect, the Demon Dao Five Sects Alliance began to attack Qinghua Mountain. The biggest difficulty in taking down Qinghua Mountain lies in the fact that there is a Yuan Ying period cultivator stationed on Qinghua Mountain.

  There is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator sitting in town, and under normal circumstances, it can preserve the existence of a sect. The wars between these cultivators rarely involve Nascent Soul stage cultivators unless it's a matter of life and death for the sect, and Nascent Soul stage cultivators generally do not take action.

  But this time the five factions of the demonic path have made up their minds to annex the Chu State's Xianxia realm, in which case the Yuan Ying cultivators of Qinghua Mountain would not just sit idly by.

  With a Nascent Soul stage cultivator holding down the fort, it was almost impossible for the five demonic sects to take down Qinghua Mountain. Therefore, the five demonic sects decided to also bring out a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to make a move, either to take care of Qinghua Mountain's Nascent Soul stage cultivator or at least pin them down, allowing them to smoothly capture Qinghua Mountain.

  At this moment, 1,500 miles southwest of Qinghua Mountain, a large army of demonic cultivators led by Zhao Mingjiu is rapidly approaching Qinghua Mountain.

  Inside the Wind Splitting Divine Chariot, Zhao Ming Cong sat on the bed board on the steps, breathing in and out. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered around the Wind Splitting Divine Chariot like a tide, constantly surging into Zhao Ming Cong's body. Even Li Hui could feel that the density of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had increased several times.

  Li Hui wouldn't let this good opportunity slip away either, and he too sat cross-legged on the couch in the Riftwind Divine Car, closing his eyes to cultivate and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique going crazy inside him.

  Li Hui's absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also astonishingly fast, but compared to the amount of spiritual energy that Zhao Ming had introduced at this time, it was like scooping a ladle of water from a pond.

  At this time, if Li Hui was not in cultivation and observed Zhao Mingjiu, he would find that at this moment, Zhao Mingjiu's body was emitting a faint golden light, his face was dignified and majestic, and his hands were forming a strange handprint. Not only did he not have any demonic aura, but instead had an auspicious air about him!

  This Zhao Mingjiu was originally a giant of the demonic path, and his appearance was even more gaunt and ghostly. His entire body was filled with an aura of violent and sinister energy. Yet at this moment, he suddenly emitted a Buddha's glow, and his appearance became majestic and dignified, clearly indicating that he had cultivated some kind of profound Buddhist divine ability!

  Outside the Wind God Chariot, Fan Xuan stood quietly at the left front position of the chariot. The four wind wheels under the two wings of the divine chariot spun rapidly, driving the flying car to move forward steadily.

  At the speed of a rift wind divine chariot, if a Yuan Ying period cultivator were to drive it, several thousand miles would be almost instantaneous. However, in order to take care of the flying boat fleet of the later-stage Jīgōng cultivators behind them, they could only proceed at this slow and leisurely pace.

  Even so, an hour later, they had already arrived above Qinghua Mountain.

  This time, the Demon Dao army marched in three routes from Chi Meng Ridge, Qingfeng Valley and Xuan Yang Sect. The two armies of Qingfeng Valley and Xuan Yang Sect have arrived first and are stationed at the foot of Qinghua Mountain.

  Qinghua Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, but there is no city like Lingxiao City under Bixiao Gate where cultivators gather. Instead, it is home to many large and small cultivator families. At this time, these cultivator families have all been eliminated by the Demon Dao army, some completely annihilated, others fleeing into Qinghua Mountain.

  At this time, except for the mountain gate of Qinghua Mountain, everything outside had been cleared. The entire mountain was filled with cultivators from the Demon Dao army.

  The demonic army led by the Wind Splitting Divine Chariot approached the sky above Qinghua Mountain, and immediately more than 20 Golden Elixir cultivators flew out from the lower ranks of the demonic army to line up in front of the Wind Splitting Divine Chariot to welcome Zhao Mingyu.

  "Welcome, Immortal Zhao!" At this time, the Golden Elixir cultivators who were usually as proud as giants all stood up like respectful students and said.

  Fan Xuanzhen bowed his head and said to the carriage driver, "Old Ancestor, Qinghua Mountain has arrived!"

  Inside the Wind God Chariot, Zhao Mingyu, who was in meditation, woke up from his trance. The golden light around him dissipated, and he returned to his usual gaunt and dark appearance. He said calmly: "You can prepare to launch an attack at any moment, and flatten Qinghua Mountain with one blow!"

  At this time, Li Hui had also woken up from his meditation and was still sitting in the cracked wind divine car, quietly listening to all of this.

  Outside the Wind God Chariot, all the Golden Elixir cultivators were shocked in their hearts, and immediately became overjoyed. This Zhao Zhenren was indeed swift and decisive. With Zhao Mingqiong taking care of the Yuan Ying cultivator from Qinghua Mountain, attacking Qinghua Mountain would naturally be easy.

  "Obey the true person's decree!" All the Golden Elixir cultivators responded loudly.

  At this moment, a strong and powerful divine sense swept over, accompanied by an enormous oppressive force. The Golden Elixir cultivators standing in mid-air all stumbled, then quickly circulated the spiritual energy within their bodies to stabilize their figures and resist this oppressive force.

  "I don't know which Taoist friend has arrived at my Qinghua Mountain, forgive me for not being able to welcome you in person!" A gentle yet authoritative voice came through.

  Li Hui only felt that the voice was as if it were in his ear, just like someone standing in front of him speaking, and he couldn't help but be startled in his heart, guessing that this must be a Yuan Ying period cultivator from Qinghua Mountain speaking.

  "This is a great opportunity for me to escape!" Li Hui thought to himself, and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.

  "Hmm!"

  Zhao Ming let out a cold snort, and all of the Golden Elixir cultivators felt their bodies relax, that oppressive force having been neutralized.

  "Fellow cultivator of Qinghua Mountain, I advise you to surrender quietly. We don't need to make a big fuss. Having reached our level of cultivation, why bother with these mundane affairs and miss the great way?" Zhao Mingjiu said calmly.

  Li Hui and others felt that Zhao Mingjiu's voice was not loud at all, just like ordinary conversation.

  A moment later, the voice of a Yuan Ying period cultivator from Qinghua Mountain came again: "Fellow Taoist, why bother to travel thousands of miles from Liangzhou to my Qinghua Mountain for these mundane affairs? My Qinghua Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years and will never be destroyed by an old Taoist like you!"

  "Hah!" Zhao Ming let out a strange laugh: "Then come on out and fight me, I'll send your friend to reincarnation right away!"

  "Haha! Your esteemed self has come from afar as a guest, the old Taoist has been waiting for your esteemed self in the mountains!" The voice started out being close to his ear and then grew fainter and fainter.

  The opponent has already made it clear that they will rely on the Hushan Great Array to resist, at this time Zhao Ming's face flashed a hint of sinister intent, and he immediately opened his mouth and said: "All Golden Elixir cultivators gather together, follow me in breaking the array!"

  "Yes!" Outside the Wind Splitting Divine Chariot, all the Golden Dan cultivators responded in unison.

  Zhao Ming looked at Li Hui in the car and a hint of a smile appeared on his gloomy face: "Little guy, you just stay here obediently and watch Master's skills!" He said, flying out of the car.

  Li Hui's heart suddenly cooled down, originally thinking that when Zhao Mingjiu and the Yuan Ying cultivators of Qinghua Mountain started fighting, he would find an opportunity to slip away, as long as he slipped into the mountains and forests, then drilled into the Yuanhao Xianfu, hiding for a year or two, no one could find him.

  I didn't expect that this old Zhao would actually lock himself in the car, and there are also extremely powerful prohibitions set up on this car, which is equivalent to locking himself up, and there's no way to run out. If you enter the Yuanhua Xianfu in this small range of cars, I'm afraid that as soon as Old Zhao comes back, he will discover the secret of Yuanhua Xianfu, and I won't know how to die.

  However, this old Zhao seemed to be deliberately showing off his skills to Li Hui. At this time, the position of the car door had changed into a transparent ripple, and the outside situation could be clearly seen through the car door.

  Outside the Wind God Chariot, Zhao Ming turned into a flowing light and appeared above the Qinghua Mountain's protective array in an instant. Fan Xuan and other Golden Elixir cultivators hastily set up their own lights to follow closely behind.

  From the outside, Zhao Mingjiu and Fan Xuan seemed to be standing in mid-air above a small hill that was not particularly noticeable. In reality, however, these were all illusory manifestations of the Qinghua Mountain's protective array. With Zhao Mingjiu's level of cultivation, he could naturally see through it.

  In the Qinghua Mountain's protective array, a middle-aged cultivator with a long beard and wearing a yellow Taoist robe, appearing to be in his forties, sat cross-legged at the mountain peak. Through the massive energy shield formed by the protective array, he gazed up at Zhao Mingqiu and several demonic Golden Elixir cultivators standing in mid-air above him.

  This yellow-robed Taoist priest is precisely the Yuan Ying Lao Zu Ming Kong Dao Ren of Qing Hua Shan.

  Sixteen Golden Elixir cultivators sat in a peculiar arrangement around Ming Kong Dao Ren, forming a defensive formation with him at the center. This formation was the renowned Xuanwu Lock Void Formation, a top-tier defensive formation.

  "Rise!"

  Ming Kong Dao Ren let out a light drink, all the Jindan cultivators formed various mysterious hand seals, and streams of spiritual energy transformed into colorful lights that floated out from each Jindan cultivator's body, converging on Ming Kong Dao Ren's body. On his body, they transformed into a five-colored pillar of light that shot up to the sky and poured into the protective mountain array in mid-air.

  The vast expanse of mist suddenly transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors, appearing even more dense and rich.

  Outside the Hushan Great Formation.

  "Hmmph!"

  Zhao Ming felt the change in the large array under his feet, let out a cold hum, stretched out his hand and grabbed forward, and a nine-stock red gold pestle appeared in his hand. It was Zhao Ming's treasure, the Mountain Splitting Pestle!

  This mountain-splitting pestle has one end shaped like a triangular pyramid, the middle part is bulging like a calabaza, and the other end is a short handle about the length of a foot. The whole body is shining with golden light, and the pestle body is carved with various mysterious array diagrams.

  Zhao Ming dove into the mountain with a single move, and instantly a brilliant golden light burst forth. The mountain split open, and a giant pestle shot up into the sky, transforming into a small mountain-like giant pestle.

  "Explode!"

  Zhao Ming dove lightly and pointed his hand towards the Qinghua Mountain Guardian Array.

  "Boom!"

  Small mountains and large mountains, like shooting stars, fell down and smashed onto the protective array of Qinghua Mountain.
