Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 295: Calculation

Two flying boats were hovering in the air, very close to each other, without any movement for over an hour. After a while, Meng Zhang felt that he had adjusted his state enough and was ready to start using Grand Evolving Fortune. Calculation tallies flew out of his body, rotating around his body. As Meng Zhang continued to manipulate his hand seals, these calculation tallies disappeared one by one at a rapid pace. Since the last time he used Grand Evolving Fortune, which was over half a year ago, Meng Zhang had accumulated over two hundred calculation tallies. He was now calculating the fortunes of Gu Tanghai and Shi Weida. These two had already arrived at the Golden Blade Sect's gate. If there were any changes, they were most likely in a bad situation by now.

Before even half of the calculation tallies were consumed, Meng Zhang obtained the result he wanted. It was bad news. Both of them had lost their lives and were completely dead. Instead of worrying, Meng Zhang was relieved. Since his Grand Evolving Fortune could calculate the result, it meant that the incident involving the death of Gu Tanghai and Shi Weida did not involve the power of the Gold Core level. As long as there was no Gold Core Daoist Master involved, it was just a struggle between Foundation Building cultivators. As long as they did not actively step into the trap, even if the result was bad, they could still retreat safely.

After completing the calculation, Meng Zhang needed time to slowly recover his mental energy. He meditated for a while and then flew outside to the Qiaoshou Sect's flying boat. Aunt Jin was sitting cross-legged at the bow of the flying boat, with a calm expression and not saying a word. Jin Qigu and Jin Wengbo, who were sitting next to her, looked a little uneasy.

Meng Zhang went straight to the point and said, "Gu Tanghai and I had made preparations beforehand and could use a secret method to investigate each other's life and death. However, this secret method cannot be easily used. I just used it, and Gu Tanghai has already died."

Meng Zhang did not want to reveal the fact that he was a Diviner, so he had to come up with a temporary excuse. This excuse was not perfect and had flaws, but the three of them were shocked by the unexpected news and did not think too much about it.

Aunt Jin, who had lived for so many years and had a wealth of experience, was the first to recover. "Are you sure?" she asked.

Meng Zhang nodded. "Yes, I'm sure."

"Since Gu Tanghai has already died, there must be a trap in the Golden Blade Sect's gate," Aunt Jin said to herself.

"What should we do?" Jin Qigu asked anxiously.

"We should immediately retreat to the Qiaoshou Sect and wait for reinforcements," Jin Wengbo said. "Our Qiaoshou Sect's gate has been in operation for hundreds of years and is not so easily broken."

Meng Zhang cursed silently in his heart. Jin Wengbo was at least a Foundation Building cultivator, but he had no brains at all. From the beginning, the Flying Swan Sect had not directly participated in this operation, only providing support in secret. Whatever the reason, it was enough to show the Flying Swan Sect's attitude. At this point, if the plan did not go smoothly, the Flying Swan Sect was even less likely to intervene. As for returning to their own gate, it was foolish and selfish to the extreme.

In this critical moment, both sects were still focused on their own interests, unaware of the need to unite and seek strength in numbers. Wasn't that just waiting to be picked off one by one by the enemy?

Aunt Jin was a wise old woman, and Meng Zhang could tell that she was thinking the same thing. "We cannot separate. By staying together, we have some resistance. If we scatter, we will only be picked off by the enemy."

"Forest Spring Watch is not openly hunting us down; instead, they are setting traps, waiting for us to walk into them. This indicates that Forest Spring Watch does not have an overwhelming advantage."

"The outcome of this battle is still unknown. We may still have a chance to fight back." Meng Zhang nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in Aunt Jin's words. "Let's wait here and see what Forest Spring Watch has up their sleeves."

Aunt Jin made up her mind. "Yes, that's what we'll do. If the enemy is too strong, we can fight and retreat, falling back to a secure location."

Meng Zhang agreed. If the situation became dire, he was prepared to retreat completely, abandoning the Taiyi Sect's gate and defending the Qiaoshou Sect's gate instead.

With the combined strength of both sects, they could defend the Qiaoshou Sect's gate, which had been established for hundreds of years. As long as there was no Gold Core Daoist Master involved, no matter how strong Forest Spring Watch was, breaking through the protective formation would not be an easy task.

After discussing with Aunt Jin, Meng Zhang returned to the flying boat. He informed Yang Xueyi and Wen Qiansun of the current situation and sent out messages to the senior members of the sect, preparing them for a full retreat if necessary.

The Taiyi Sect had long been prepared for a major battle. The disciples were ready to mobilize at any moment.

Everyone waited in silence, anticipating the next move from Forest Spring Watch.

After half a day, two communication talismans arrived from Forest Spring Watch, landing in the hands of Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin.

The talismans were sent by Forest Spring Watch's Sect Master, Guang HuiDaoist. The contents of the talismans criticized the Taiyi Sect for being slow to act and warned that if the delay caused the rampant spread of demonic beasts due to the relationship between the two sects, both Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin would be severely punished.

Knowing that there were issues within the Golden Blade Sect's gate, Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin were not fooled.

However, these two talismans confirmed Aunt Jin's speculation that Forest Spring Watch did not have a significant advantage in strength.

Meng Zhang calculated that if Green Bamboo Mountain had truly sided with Forest Spring Watch, without external reinforcements, Forest Spring Watch would have at most a dozen Foundation Building cultivators. Moreover, Guang HuiDaoist might have left a few Foundation Building cultivators to guard the Forest Spring Watch's gate, further reducing the number of available cultivators.

Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect had six Foundation Building cultivators present.

Meng Zhang himself had a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivation base and felt confident in his combat abilities, especially after mastering the Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword Divine Ability. He had no fear of cultivators below the late stage of Foundation Building.

Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin ignored the communication talismans and instead focused on observing Forest Spring Watch's next move.

After resting for a day and recovering his mental energy, Meng Zhang once again used Grand Evolving Fortune. This time, he calculated the number of Foundation Building cultivators that the enemy had deployed.

Exhausting the last calculation tally was not enough. Meng Zhang gritted his teeth and started to consume his lifespan to continue the calculation. At this point, he couldn't afford to worry about sacrificing some lifespan.

Fortunately, the difficulty of this calculation was not too high. After consuming less than half a year of lifespan, Meng Zhang obtained the desired result. The enemy had deployed less than ten Foundation Building cultivators this time.
