Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 157: The Attack is Unprepared

A massive ten-headed sandworm roamed freely among the Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators. In an instant, no one could withstand its might.

After Meng Zhang and Jue Ying had consumed the Stone Stalactite elixir to recover most of their powers, they once again unleashed a Second Rank talisman.

Four sharp swords hovered in mid-air, positioned in the four cardinal directions, enclosing all the Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators in the center. These swords, colored black, green, red, and yellow, were under Meng Zhang's control, spinning rapidly and moving towards the central group of Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators.

Even a slight graze from these four swords would cause bloody chaos, limbs severed in an instant.

Among all the Second Rank talismans possessed by Taiyi Sect, the Four Polar Radiant Swords talisman was the most powerful. Even with Meng Zhang's current Cultivation Base, controlling it was quite strenuous.

For this ambush on Green Bamboo Mountain, Meng Zhang had almost depleted Taiyi Sect's resources, bringing out all their trump cards. A mighty lion puppet charged into the crowd, initiating a slaughter.

Second Rank puppets required a constant consumption of middle-grade spirit stones to remain active, but their combat prowess justified the expense.

Before entering the Mirage Secret Realm, the Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators had concealed numerous powerful techniques on their persons. Some were provided by their sect, while others were prepared individually. They had a good number of Second Rank talismans, various Yin and Thunder techniques, and even Second Rank puppets.

Facing formidable enemies from various factions and experiencing life-and-death battles within the Mirage Secret Realm for a month, these resources were exhausted. In their pursuit of more spiritual medicines, they had used up all their trump cards.

Worn down by prolonged battles, they encountered a well-prepared ambush and suffered heavy losses. In a fair fight, the twenty or so Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators would easily overwhelm Taiyi Sect. However, the absence of favorable conditions led to their inevitable defeat.

Jue Ying, using the shadows of the crowd for cover, appeared and disappeared within the group, seizing every opportunity for sneak attacks. Each successful strike left another corpse on the ground.

Zheng Chao, a loose cultivator who joined Taiyi Sect and caught Meng Zhang's attention, was entrusted with a crucial role in this ambush on Green Bamboo Mountain. Despite his rough exterior, he was always brave and valiant. Now, his actions seemed somewhat lascivious.

Silently lurking in the vicinity, Zheng Chao held a long rope. Whenever a Green Bamboo Mountain disciple fell, the rope, like a spirit snake, would deftly coil around his waist, taking away all the storage bags hanging there. In no time, Zheng Chao collected numerous storage bags marked with the emblem of Green Bamboo Mountain.

Whether Taiyi Sect would profit or lose from this ambush on Green Bamboo Mountain depended entirely on Zheng Chao's abilities.

Witnessing his disciples falling one by one before him while being powerless to stop it, the two Foundation Building elders from Green Bamboo Mountain turned red-eyed with anger, trembling with fury.

Prior to their actions, Jue Ying had employed a unique technique to disguise the Taiyi Sect members, concealing their distinct Cultivation Technique and spells. The two Foundation Building elders from Green Bamboo Mountain naturally could not recognize their true identities.

As for Jue Ying herself, she rarely revealed her true appearance and showed no fear of Green Bamboo Mountain's retaliation.

This sudden appearance of a mysterious enemy caught them off guard, and taking advantage of vulnerabilities, they ambushed the Refining Qi stage disciples, resulting in heavy losses for the Green Bamboo Mountain disciples.

Old Man Bamboo Stick and Bamboo Spear Elder felt both anger and bewilderment. When did Green Bamboo Mountain provoke such mysterious enemies?

The battle raged on, but the resistance from the Green Bamboo Mountain disciples was not strong. With each falling body, the number of survivors dwindled.

One Green Bamboo Mountain disciple managed to break through and run towards their two Foundation Building elders, hoping to reach safety and receive their protection. However, just a short distance away from the safety zone, he met a tragic end.

Jue Ying emerged from his shadow, wielding a pitch-black dagger, and swiftly slit his throat. Blood sprayed like a fountain, and the disciple fell helplessly.

Jue Ying, after killing the disciple, provocatively gestured towards the two Foundation Building elders from Green Bamboo Mountain.

Old Man Bamboo Stick, witnessing his disciple falling before him while being unable to touch the corpse, had become furious beyond reason. Jue Ying's taunting caused him to lose all sense of rationality.

"Damn you!" Old Man Bamboo Stick roared like a mad tiger and pounced towards Jue Ying.

"Don't act impulsively," warned Bamboo Spear Elder, but he was unable to stop the enraged Old Man Bamboo Stick.

However, at that moment, a figure emerged from the ground and fiercely lunged at Old Man Bamboo Stick.

Deep Earth Spirit General, utilizing the Earth Escape Spell, had been hiding in the earth, waiting for this rare opportunity.

He burst forth with the peak power of an early Foundation Building stage, but he had a limited time to act. He had to finish the fight quickly, engaging in dangerous close combat to defeat his opponent within the shortest time possible.

Deep Earth Spirit General was clad in thick stone armor from head to toe. His massive fists swung powerfully towards Old Man Bamboo Stick, who had just been sent flying.

Bamboo Spear Elder had prepared to intercept Deep Earth Spirit General when he appeared. However, at the same time, a figure descended from the sky, launching several fierce spells towards Bamboo Spear Elder.

Bamboo Spear Elder was too occupied with dealing with these attacks, leaving him no time to focus on the battle with Deep Earth Spirit General.

Taking advantage of this unexpected opportunity, Gu Tanghai, who had also been hiding his identity, launched a series of spells that made Bamboo Spear Elder struggle to keep up.

Gu Tanghai lucked out this time. Originally, his opponent should have been Green Bamboo Mountain's top expert, Elder Bamboo Sword. However, due to some last-minute circumstances, Elder Bamboo Spear led the team instead.

After advancing to the Foundation Building stage, cultivation became even more difficult, and the disparities between each realm became more pronounced. Challenging opponents of higher realms became increasingly rare.

The gap between mid-Foundation Building and early Foundation Building was so significant that an ordinary cultivator like Bamboo Spear Elder felt despair, unable to overcome it.
