Chapter 361: Notification
ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey
A month ago, after receiving the summons from the Flying Swan Sect, the Earthfire Sect dispatched two Foundation Building stage elders and a team of Qi Refining stage disciples to respond to the summons from the Flying Swan Sect and head to the front line to fight.
The Earthfire Sect's attitude made the Flying Swan Sect very unhappy. The Earthfire Sect was so powerful, but they only sent such a small team. The Flying Swan Sect thought that the Earthfire Sect was trying to conserve their strength and avoid fighting.
So two days ago, the Flying Swan Sect sent a messenger to the Earthfire Sect to reprimand the Earthfire Sect Sect Master Liang Feng and order Liang Feng to send out the main force of the sect to the front line to fight.
On the surface, Liang Feng was humble and obedient, and agreed to the requirements of the Flying Swan Sect messenger. But as soon as the Flying Swan Sect messenger left, he started to mobilize the disciples of the sect to launch an attack on the Flying Swan Sect.
Liang Feng claimed that the Earthfire Sect had the support of the Fire Cloud Sect, a large cultivation sect in the Jiuqu League.
The Flying Swan Sect's last sneak attack on the Fire Cloud Sect had completely enraged the Jiuqu League.
The powerful Jiuqu League had decided to take action against the Flying Swan Sect. The Fire Cloud Sect was the vanguard of the attack on the Flying Swan Sect. The Fire Cloud Sect army had already entered the Endless Sea of Sand.
The Earthfire Sect should take advantage of this opportunity to join the Fire Cloud Sect and attack the Flying Swan Sect. After the Flying Swan Sect was destroyed, they would be able to reap the greatest benefits.
The two elders in the Earthfire Sect who were clear-headed and rational and advocated for a respectful attitude towards the Flying Swan Sect had already been sent by Liang Feng to respond to the Flying Swan Sect's summons and head to the front line to fight.
The remaining elders in the Earthfire Sect were either supporters of Liang Feng or had long been dissatisfied with the Flying Swan Sect.
After being seduced by Liang Feng, these simple-minded and hot-tempered elders were quickly persuaded.
Liang Feng easily gained the support of all the elders in the sect, and then mobilized the entire sect and was about to launch an attack.
Shangguan Wen received this news and immediately became flustered.
As one of the few clear-headed and rational people in the Earthfire Sect, he did not believe Liang Feng's nonsense at all.
The strength of the Flying Swan Sect was well-known.
In Shangguan Wen's opinion, Liang Feng leading the Earthfire Sect to resist the Flying Swan Sect was simply courting death.
That damned Liang Feng could die, but the entire Earthfire Sect could not be buried with him.
Shangguan Wen had some feelings for the Earthfire Sect, and he could not just stand by and watch the Earthfire Sect be destroyed by Liang Feng.
In his opinion, as long as the Flying Swan Sect took action, took down Liang Feng, the Sect Master, and replaced him with a new Sect Master, the Earthfire Sect would accept some punishment and pay a sufficient price, and then this matter should be over.
After all, the Earthfire Sect was still very valuable to the Flying Swan Sect. And now that the war was in full swing, it was time to use people.
Most importantly, the Earthfire Sect's Great Elder, Flame, was still trapped in the Demon Wind Gobi with Fei Tian Dao Shi.
Originally, Shangguan Wen was going to urgently notify the Flying Swan Sect, so that they would be prepared and stop Liang Feng from taking a desperate gamble.
However, all of the Flying Swan Sect's outposts in the nearby area were already under the surveillance of the Earthfire Sect.
For example, the Flying Swan Building in the Firewell Market, the original Twin Success Valley mountain gate, and even the original Green Bamboo Mountain mountain gate, these closest Flying Swan Sect outposts, did not escape the Earthfire Sect's eyes.
As for those secret outposts of the Flying Swan Sect that were not known to the public, and the spies that were definitely present, Shangguan Wen knew nothing about them.
As for leaving this place and going to the Flying Swan Sect's direct territory to report the news, that was too much to ask of him.
Shangguan Wen was just a Qi Refining stage cultivator. When he was sent out, the flying mount and flying boat he had were taken back by the sect. With his walking speed, by the time he arrived at the Flying Swan Sect's direct territory, Liang Feng would have already committed a grave mistake.After thinking hard, Shangguan Wen thought of Meng Zhang.
He did not expect Meng Zhang to remember their previous friendship and help him. Instead, he thought that Taiyi Sect had been close to Flying Swan Sect for many years. Regardless of whether it was to please Flying Swan Sect or to cause trouble for Earthfire Sect, Meng Zhang should not sit idly by while Liang Feng launched an attack on Flying Swan Sect.
So Shangguan Wen secretly came to Taiyi Sect alone,
Ask to see Meng Zhang and tell him the whole story. After hearing Shangguan Wen's account, Meng Zhang's first reaction was that Heaven helps me.
He had long looked down upon Earthfire Sect, and now that Liang Feng had committed suicide and attacked Flying Swan Sect, it was time for Taiyi Sect to take advantage of the situation and attack Earthfire Sect.
But then he thought about it again, and he realized that the Earthfire Sect lunatics, although ill-tempered, were not fools. If they dared to attack Flying Swan Sect, they must have had enough confidence.
Shangguan Wen told Meng Zhang the whole story, then urged Meng Zhang to quickly contact the nearby sects loyal to Flying Swan Sect and go out together to stop Earthfire Sect from attacking Flying Swan Sect.
Meng Zhang did not respond to Shangguan Wen's words, but instead asked carefully about Earthfire Sect's current strength.
Although Shangguan Wen was far from the center of Earthfire Sect, he was well-informed. When he heard Meng Zhang's question, he did not think much about it and immediately told him about Earthfire Sect's current strength as if he were reciting from memory.
Earthfire Sect's Sect Master Liang Feng had a Foundation Building late stage cultivation base, and the two guest elders he had recruited, the Liu Family brothers, also had a Foundation Building late stage cultivation base.
Not counting the two elders who had been sent to the front lines to fight, there were four Foundation Building elders in Earthfire Sect, one in the middle stage of Foundation Building, and three in the early stage of Foundation Building.
In addition, Earthfire Sect had two cultivators who had just secretly succeeded in Foundation Building not long ago.
As for the Qi Refining stage disciples, there was no need to count them.
After hearing Shangguan Wen's words, Meng Zhang's hot heart immediately cooled down.
Now, Taiyi Sect, including himself as the Sect Master, only had three Foundation Building stage cultivators. On the Qiaoshou Sect side, only Aunt Jin and Jin Qiao'er were left behind.
Further away, the Land Walk Sect seemed to have sent all of their main cultivators to respond to Flying Swan Sect's call to go to the front lines to fight.
Now, the only person in charge of the Land Walk Sect's mountain gate was a Foundation Building stage cultivator who was on his last legs.
The other cultivation forces loyal to Flying Swan Sect were even further away, and it was impossible to gather them in time.
Even if they were gathered, it would probably be useless, because the main cultivators of these forces had already been summoned to the front lines by Flying Swan Sect.
As for Flying Swan Sect itself, it had a number of outposts in the surrounding area, but there were no strong cultivators to guard them.
Since the war with the beasts broke out, most of Flying Swan Sect's forces had been drawn to the front lines.
The enemy was too strong, and we were too weak. If we were to go to war, we would surely suffer heavy losses and be defeated.
However, from the sound of Shangguan Wen's words, it seemed that Earthfire Sect had chosen Flying Swan Sect as their target of attack, and did not intend to take advantage of the situation to attack other sects.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhang's heart stirred, and he asked: "Is Earthfire Sect going to attack Flying Swan Sect directly? Why didn't they attack the other sects around first?"
"I don't know what Liang Feng is thinking. He is obsessed with attacking Flying Swan Sect. He has no plans for the other sects, and he simply ignores them." Shangguan Wen was also confused.
