The second defense stronghold that Wang Cheng and his friends entered was called Heiya Mountain, which is a medium-sized stronghold similar to Tiexiong Mountain.

Because he was on the second line of defense, before Wang Cheng and his friends entered, there were only two foundation-building monks in the Black Crave Mountain stronghold and more than forty Qi Refining Cultivators were stationed.

After Wang Cheng and his friends entered this place, he, with the middle stage of foundation building, became the highest-level existence in the stronghold.

However, he did not mean to be overwhelmed. After entering this place, he first expressed his intention of just staying temporarily, and asked the monks garrison here to help inform the front line command center to report his situation, and then waited for the new appointment of the command center to be issued on the spot.

The Xiaoxiong Mountain position was broken, and they each broke through the encirclement, so they could not be considered deserters, but could only be considered defeated soldiers.

The defeated soldiers reorganized behind the battlefield. Where will they go in the future, the front-line command will still need to arrange it.

Even if they are arranged to go to the front line again, they must comply.

However, Wang Cheng himself estimated that the first line of defense would most likely not be able to block the attacks of the demon barbarian coalition, so the second line of defense station of Heiya Mountain would soon become a new frontline.

Therefore, the next destination of him and the Qingyun Sect monks was mostly to garrison on the spot.

Before the latest order arrived, Wang Cheng and the monks from Qingyun Sect could finally have a good rest.

In the next two days, other monks retreated from the front line to arrive at the Heiya Mountain stronghold. They were basically single foundation-building monks, or one, two foundation-building monks and several Qi Refining Cultivators.

After retreating to the Heiya Mountain stronghold, these people almost all had no intention of fighting for power and profit, and they just regarded this place as a place to rest and recuperate.

Through talking to these people, Wang Cheng also had a general understanding of the situation on other battlefields outside Tiexin Mountain.

The situation was similar to what he had previously guessed. Longshan Academy indeed connected the formations of most positions with spiritual veins and earth veins, and maximized the use of the positions and the formations to kill and kill demons and barbarians.

However, with the absolute military advantage of the Yaoman Alliance, most of the front-line positions and strongholds were directly flattened.

After these positions and strongholds were flattened, it was rare for monks who could break through and escape in time, and most of them were foundation-building monks.

Wang Cheng estimated that the number of Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation

In this way, even if they win this battle in the end, the late-stage Qi-refining cultivators cultivated by various sects in this wilderness area for ten years will probably go to the next tenth stage!

It's so tragic!

When Wang Cheng thought of this data, he shook his head with an ugly expression.

Although at present, no monks from their Qingyun Sect have fallen in this war.

But as long as the war continues and he does not leave the front line, he dare not promise that he can take everyone back to the mountain gate.

You should know that in small sects like Qingyun Sect, the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators are all backbone forces and reserve foundation-building cultivators.

Once most of the cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining fall, the sect may not have the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage in more than ten or twenty years. This is an unacceptable devastating blow to these sects that are in the upward development.

What Wang Cheng can do now is to do his best to protect the disciples who came to the front line this time and protect them through this disaster.

After waiting like this for almost three days, Wang Cheng and the disbanded monks who were resting on Black Crow Mountain finally waited for the order from the front line command.

The result was similar to what Wang Cheng guessed. The command center ordered all of them to stick to the Heiya Mountain position on the spot, and the new commander-in-chief of the Heiya Mountain position was also on the way.

But when he saw the commander-in-chief coming, he was stunned.

"Why are you?"

"Why are you?"

On the Black Crow Mountain, the two monks surnamed Wang looked at each other in a daze, feeling extremely surprised that the other party appeared here.

It turned out that the new commander-in-chief of the Heiya Mountain Position appointed by the command center was Wang Xiu, the inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect who had previously commanded Wang Cheng and others in the Xiaoxiong Mountain Position.

Not only did this person evacuated from the Xiaoxiong Mountain position intact, he seemed to have "promoted" one step, and directly became the commander-in-chief of the Black Crow Mountain position, which is not inferior to the Tiexiong Mountain position.

"Hahaha, it's such a fate. When Xiao Xiongshan parted that day, I didn't expect to meet you again here. Seeing that you are all safe and sound, Wang felt relieved."

Wang Xiu is indeed a Confucian monk with a profound qi cultivation skill. After initially being shocked, he laughed and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.

When Wang Cheng heard his words, his face changed a little, and his expression was extremely complicated.

If possible, Wang Cheng really doesn't want this kind of fate.

In the battle of Xiaoxiong Mountain, Wang Xiu's indifference impressed him deeply.

This person is definitely the kind of person who has not achieved his goal and uses any means. Wang Cheng really doesn’t feel safe at all when fighting under such a person.

Unfortunately, the command has been ordered by the command center, and he has no second choice now.

At this moment, he could only calm down his face, looked at Wang Xiu deeply and sighed: "Yes, Wang didn't expect that he would have another day to work with fellow Dao Wang!"

His words were a pun. After hearing this, Wang Xiu immediately understood what he meant, and then his expression changed a little unnaturally. He didn't say anything more, but instead greeted the others on Black Crow Mountain.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng didn't care, but his eyes were flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On that day, the nine foundation-building monks and seventy-nine Qi-refining cultivators on the Black Crow Mountain all attended the simple banquet prepared for Commander-in-Chief Wang Xiu, and all expressed their support for obeying Wang Xiu's next leadership.

After the banquet, late at night, Wang Xiu's figure suddenly appeared in the area where Qingyunmen and his group were located, and directly entered the courtyard where Wang Cheng and Lin Yuanshan were resting.

"Mr. Wang has already reported to the sect merit test department for the merit test of you, Master Wang, that day. As long as the war stabilizes slightly, you can go to the rear to check your merit value."

In the living room of the courtyard, after being received by Wang Cheng, Wang Xiu just politely drank the spiritual tea on the table and said good things first.

When he fled Xiaoxiong Mountain that day, he specially took away the [Shadow of the Moonlight Mirror] spiritual weapon, which recorded the merits and achievements of monks on Xiaoxiong Mountain, from all sides.

This is done to facilitate the proving of his achievements in commanding the killing of the enemy in the battle of Xiaoxiong Mountain; and to the other hand, there is a reason to appease other monks.

For example, now, when he talked about this with Wang Cheng, he told Wang Cheng that neither he nor Longshan Academy had any confusion of the achievements of the Qingyun Sect.

It was also told Wang Cheng that it was necessary to escape alone at that time, because he had to keep those [Shadow of the Moonlight Mirror] that recorded all the merits of monks on Xiaoxiong Mountain.

Of course, only Wang Cheng himself knows whether Wang Cheng will understand him.

In short, when he mentioned this, he was to release his kindness and did not want Wang Cheng to always be hostile to him.

After all, in the subsequent war, the Black Crow Mountain position extremely needs the power of Qingyun Sect.

If Wang Cheng had always distrust and did not cooperate with him, it would be difficult for him as the commander-in-chief.

"Mr. Wang is probably clear about the purpose of Fellow Daoist Wang. If Fellow Daoist Wang is willing, we can open the skylight and say things straight, and don't hide it from anyone."

When Wang Cheng said this, he said in a heavy tone: "If Fellow Daoist Wang just wants Qingyun Sect to be obedient, then we don't have much to say!"

If he had a choice, of course he didn't want to work with Wang Xiu and do things under him.

But in this situation, he had no choice at all.

Since this is the case, he could only negotiate with Wang Xiu in private and reach an agreement with him.

That is, Qingyun Sect can cooperate with Wang Xiu to defend Hei Crow Mountain, but Wang Xiu also has to give him some basic instructions. He can no longer sell everyone without saying a word like when he was in Xiaoxiong Mountain.

After hearing his words, Wang Xiu's eyes flashed slightly for a while, and he smiled happily: "President Wang is a smart person. Since he has said this, Wang is certainly willing to open the skylight with Master Wang and speak loudly. Anyway, Wang is also devoted to the overall situation of the sect, and there is nothing to say to others!"

So after the two of them had a secret conversation, Wang Xiu left with satisfaction.

In the following days, some monks who had collapsed on the front line moved to the Heiya Mountain stronghold, which led to the number of monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage here reaching twelve, and the number of monks in the Qi Refining Stage exceeded 100.

But the good times did not last long, and soon the figure of the demon and barbarian coalition also came to the vicinity of the Heiya Mountain stronghold.

After a previous battle, the number of the demon barbarian coalition was greatly weakened, no longer as powerful as before.

However, the number of low-level monster barbarians was weakened, and the number of second-level barbarian warlocks and second-level monsters was not weakened, and it still maintained a large numerical advantage for the cultivator.

After discovering the existence of the Black Crow Mountain stronghold, more than 10,000 monsters and thousands of barbarians arrived here in just five days, including nine second-level barbarian warlocks and fifteen second-level monsters.

This number is exactly twice that of the foundation-building monks on Black Crow Mountain.

After these monsters appeared outside the Black Crow Mountain stronghold, they quickly launched a tentative attack.

The Heiya Mountain Stronghold and the Iron Bear Mountain are strongholds of the same level. Although there are no affiliated positions like Xiaoxiong Mountain around, the mountain protection formation is also a second-level top-grade formation.

The tentative attack of the demon barbarian coalition could not shake much of this formation.

However, after a tentative attack, most of the information the demon barbarian coalition wanted to know had been tested.

Then the real attack came.

After a previous war, the experience of the demon barbarian coalition in attacking the cultivator's strongholds was also accumulated.

This time, they no longer drove away low-level monsters as cannon fodder as before, and went forward to consume the magic power of cultivators in the formation, but instead launched directly from all sides and attacked in turn.

"What's wrong, what's wrong. Those second-level barbarian warlocks didn't exert force. They were deliberately retaining their magic power!"

During the fierce battle, Wang Cheng suddenly discovered an abnormal situation and quickly informed the commander-in-chief Wang Xiu.

After hearing Wang Cheng's report, Wang Xiu quickly observed it carefully based on his report.

After a while like this, Wang Xiu shouted loudly: "Fellow the attack first and retain more mana. The barbarian warlock may be waiting for our mana to consume too much, and then jointly cast the spell to break the formation."

After the words came, he sent a message to Wang Cheng alone and said, "President Wang, if the barbarian sorcerer is really ready to jointly cast spells and break the formation, please ask you and Wang to lead people out of the formation for an assault. We must not let them cast spells successfully as they wish."

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng couldn't help but look at him and replied lightly: "If fellow Taoist Wang also came out of the battle, Wang naturally had no choice!"

This statement is profound and Wang Xiu didn't know how to respond after hearing it, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.

And the situation is just as Wang Xiu judged, the barbarian sorcerer's method of saving mana is indeed to prepare for joint casting.

After about two hours of continuous attack on the Black Crow Mountain stronghold, nine second-level barbarian warlocks suddenly gathered together, and each of them chanted spells and cast together.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiu immediately called Wang Cheng, Lin Yuanshan and seven foundation-building cultivators rushed out of the formation and killed directly towards the nine second-level barbarian sorcerers.

As soon as the eight people came out of the formation, they flew directly to a height of five or six hundred feet. In this way, the attacks of most low-level monsters and first-level barbarian warlocks could not pose a threat to them.

Then the eight people each used their own spiritual weapons and spells, and all fought at the nine second-level barbarians who were casting spells.
