Chapter 292: Startled Palpitates
Guang DeDaoist's reaction was not unexpected by Fei Hongzi. After escaping back to the Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate, he carefully activated the mountain protection formation while using a communication talisman to report the situation to the Forest Spring Watch. The Golden Blade Sect's territory was not small, with several oases and some mineral resources. Not to mention that the Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate was also located on a Second Rank spirit vein. The Forest Spring Watch would not easily abandon this place and let the demons run rampant. Moreover, who could guarantee that after the demons attacked the Golden Blade Sect's territory, they would not spread to other directions?
Since the Forest Spring Watch replaced the Twin Success Valley as the overlord of this area, it had to take on the responsibility of an overlord. Considering that the Flying Swan Sect had already said that the demons in the Demon Wind Gobi were showing unusual behavior, and Guang ZhiDaoist Master had accompanied Fei TianDaoist Master to investigate the movements of the demons in the Demon Wind Gobi, it was basically confirmed that the demons that attacked here came from the Demon Wind Gobi.
Forest Spring Watch Sect Master Guang HuiDaoist personally sent a message to the Flying Swan Sect, reporting the news of the demons' massive attack from the Demon Wind Gobi. At the same time, Guang HuiDaoist ordered various vassal forces to recruit their elite forces to gather and prepare to fight the demons. Three Gold Core Daoist Masters broke into the Demon Wind Gobi, and the Third Rank demons in the Demon Wind Gobi should be too busy to come and harass here. The attack on the Golden Blade Sect's territory should only be led by a group of Second Rank demons.
After gathering the forces of various vassal forces, the Forest Spring Watch was ready for battle. Guang HuiDaoist chose the original mountain gate of the Golden Blade Sect as the gathering point. This place had a Second Rank spirit vein and the Golden Blade Sect's mountain protection formation that had been deployed for many years. After the various forces gathered, they could attack or defend. With the support of the mountain protection formation, even if the expedition failed, they could still have a way out.
Because the enemy situation was not yet clear, in order to ensure sufficient mobility and be able to retreat in time when the situation was unfavorable, the Forest Spring Watch did not send a large number of Refining Qi period disciples to accompany them this time. Instead, they mainly dispatched Foundation Building period cultivators. Guang HuiDaoist, Guang HongDaoist, Guang QuanDaoist, and Guang RuiDaoist all accompanied their Sect Master to battle. Together with Guang DeDaoist, who was originally stationed at the Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate, there were a total of five Foundation Building period cultivators. Except for Guang HuiDaoist and Guang RuiDaoist, who were in the mid-stage of Foundation Building period cultivation base, the other three were all in the early stage of Foundation Building period cultivation.
The Forest Mountain School has always been a staunch vassal of the Forest Spring Watch and was the first to respond to the Forest Spring Watch's call. Xu Yishan and Lin Shenpo, two Foundation Building period cultivators, were the first to arrive at the Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate. The Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect also obeyed the order to go to battle, but because of their respective reasons, they found ways to delay for a while. On the Taiyi Sect's side, it was because Meng Zhang wanted to wait for the Deep Earth Spirit General to leave the Lingyan. However, the Deep Earth Spirit General had not come out, so he had no choice. On the Qiaoshou Sect's side, it was because Aunt Jin was practicing a secret technique and was in a critical moment, so she needed to delay for a few more days.
Because the demons had not taken any further action since the last attack on Guang DeDaoist, Guang HuiDaoist was not too anxious for the time being and allowed the Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect to be a little late. Of course, with the big battle approaching, both sects could not delay for too long.
After receiving Guang HuiDaoist's message, Fei Hongzi personally wrote a reply to Guang HuiDaoist. In the letter, he told Guang HuiDaoist that the Flying Swan Sect could not temporarily spare manpower to support the Forest Spring Watch, but he had ordered the Green Bamboo Mountain to mobilize and fully support Guang HuiDaoist. Sure enough, shortly after Fei Hongzi's reply arrived, Green Bamboo Mountain Sect Master Azure Bamboo and the elder of the sect, Zhujian, rushed to the Golden Blade Sect's territory.
The behavior of Green Bamboo Mountain, which did not care about past grievances and prioritized the overall situation of the Human Clan, satisfied Guang HuiDaoist Dawei and earned his praise. Almost at the same time, in a secret room in Singing Sand City, Gu Tanghai had just subdued Shi Changqing. Shi Changqing could not move or speak, and could only stare at Gu Tanghai with angry eyes.
Gu Tanghai did not have the blood of the Shi Family, but was a son-in-law of the Shi Family. After joining the Shi Family, because of his excellent aptitude, he received key training from the Shi Family since he was young. At first, Gu Tanghai was still loyal to the Shi Family. However, after he reached the Foundation Building period, his thoughts changed. Gu Tanghai regarded the Shi Family as his tool and manipulated the Shi Family only to gain greater benefits. Shi Changqing was a fool who only knew alchemy and rarely asked about the affairs of the Shi Family.
Gu Tanghai had a strong cultivation base and outstanding abilities, so he easily took control of the Shi Family's power. His Refining Qi period Shi Family wife had already died during meditation, and he had broken the biggest bond with the Shi Family. He only cared about what was beneficial to himself in all his actions, and he did not care about the past grievances of the Shi Family at all. The Flying Swan Sect found out about this situation somehow and found a way to bribe Gu Tanghai, making him turn to the Flying Swan Sect. However, Shi Changqing still remembered the blood feud between the Shi Family and the Flying Swan Sect for hundreds of years and refused to join the Flying Swan Sect.
The action had already begun, and Shi Changqing could not ruin everything. However, Shi Changqing, a Second Rank Alchemist, still had significant value, so Gu Tanghai could not easily kill him. Therefore, Gu Tanghai could only temporarily subdue him and send trusted people to guard him strictly. After the battle was over, he would deal with him slowly. After leaving the secret room, Gu Tanghai saw Shi Weida, who was a little uneasy. Gu Tanghai did not say much and took Shi Weida away directly. Although Shi Weida was a member of the Shi Family, he had been practicing with Gu Tanghai since he was young. He was able to obtain the Foundation Building Pill because of Gu Tanghai's full efforts. Therefore, Shi Weida obeyed Gu Tanghai's every word and did not dare to disobey him.
Although Green Bamboo Mountain was the farthest away, Azure Bamboo and Zhujian were the first to arrive at the Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate. Then Gu Tanghai and Shi Weida arrived there. Several days had passed, and Meng Zhang could not continue to delay. Helpless, he had to give up waiting for the Deep Earth Spirit General and take Wen Qiansun and Yang Xueyi with him to fly a flying boat to the Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate. The Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate was only a few hundred miles away from Fuzhao Valley. With the flying speed of a First Rank flying boat, it would take less than a day to reach the destination.
Meng Zhang and the others set off early in the morning and arrived less than a hundred miles away from the Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate in the afternoon. Suddenly, a strong sense of horror rushed into Meng Zhang's heart. He felt his heart beating faster and couldn't help trembling all over. Meng Zhang had experienced a similar feeling once before, during the last expedition against the sand monster, when Liu Dajin, an elder of the Liu Family, assassinated him. But this time, the feeling was much stronger. He felt an inexplicable panic in his heart and almost wanted to leave here immediately. Yang Xueyi noticed that Meng Zhang's expression was a little strange and was about to ask him. Suddenly, Meng Zhang shouted, "Stop, stop immediately."
