Chapter 376: Requesting reinforcements

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey

As the newly arrived reinforcements joined the great battle, the Flying Swan Sect not only outnumbered their opponents in Foundation Building cultivators, but even the gap in Refining Qi cultivators was significantly narrowed.

With an absolute advantage, victory posed no problem for them. However, after falling into a disadvantageous position, most of the Earthfire Sect cultivators did not choose to escape but instead fought desperately, seeking a chance to take their enemies down with them.

Though the Flying Swan Sect had anticipated the frenzy of the Earthfire Sect cultivators, facing their insane attacks, especially the strategy of several Foundation Building cultivators sacrificing themselves, put considerable pressure on them.

Despite victory being within sight, one Foundation Building cultivator from the Flying Swan Sect was still dragged to death by the enemy. Qiaoshou Sect's Jin Wengbo had also fallen victim to an Earthfire Sect Foundation Building cultivator, and both perished together.

In the midst of Earthfire Sect's desperate attacks, even with a Formation formed by the Refining Qi cultivators of the Flying Swan Sect, Taiyi Sect, and Qiaoshou Sect, they still suffered considerable casualties.

Seeing their disciples fighting so fiercely, Earthfire Sect's Sect Master, Liang Feng, felt somewhat guilty for abandoning them and attempting to flee. He tried to escape, and although he managed to shake off Zhao Liefeng's pursuit, he didn't get far.

Meng Zhang easily caught up to him and stopped him. Being a Foundation Building late-stage cultivator, Liang Feng had forcefully advanced with the help of pills, resulting in significant cultivation flaws. On the other hand, Meng Zhang had a solid foundation and knew many powerful techniques.

After a bloody battle, Meng Zhang unleashed his small Divine Ability, the Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword, and killed Liang Feng on the spot.

The Liu Family brothers were trapped in the Clear Spring Cascade Formation, fiercely attacking and putting great pressure on Wen Qiansun, who was in charge of maintaining the formation.

As disciples of a major sect, the Liu Family brothers practiced high-level techniques and possessed several inherited secrets, also being Foundation Building late-stage cultivators.

After an intense battle, Wen Qiansun seemed unable to hold on any longer and had to release them from the formation. However, as they flew out of the formation and felt the joy of regaining their freedom, they fell into despair as they witnessed the devastating situation caused by the Earthfire Sect's defeat.

The Earthfire Sect cultivators suffered a crushing defeat, with most of them killed on the spot, and only a few managed to escape. The free Foundation Building cultivators mostly stayed outside the Clear Spring Cascade Formation, surrounding the place.

As for the powerful cultivators from the Fire Cloud Sect, no matter how strong they were as Foundation Building late-stage experts, facing the siege of nearly ten Foundation Building cultivators, they were ultimately killed without even the chance to escape.

Zhao Liefeng deeply hated the Earthfire Sect individuals. Despite their overwhelming victory, he ordered a full pursuit, vowing to eliminate every one of them.

The cultivators from the three sects exerted considerable effort to hunt down the fleeing Earthfire Sect members. After completing their mission and basically annihilating the Earthfire Sect cultivators, they finally had time to clean up the battlefield, tend to the wounded, and recover their strength.

This battle had been far from easy for the cultivators of the three sects. Apart from the significant losses, there were many injured among the remaining cultivators.

Although Zhao Liefeng was fierce and strict, he wasn't entirely heartless. Even though he knew that the frontlines of the Flying Swan Sect were in urgent need of support due to the battle against the demonic beasts, he allowed everyone to rest for one night to recover their strength before rushing to the frontlines.

Knowing that even more arduous battles awaited them, the cultivators of the three sects had no mood to celebrate victory. Instead, they seized the time to meditate and heal their injuries.

Meng Zhang had sustained some non-trivial injuries during the day when he killed Earthfire Sect's Sect Master, Liang Feng. In the evening, he was still meditating to recover when an unexpected message interrupted his healing.

Two days ago, many demon beasts surged out of the Demon Wind Gobi and invaded the territory once held by the Golden Blade Sect. The area now belonged to the Qiaoshou Sect, which had fortified its defenses many years ago to prevent the demon beasts from attacking.

However, responding to the Flying Swan Sect's call to arms, the Qiaoshou Sect had to mobilize a large number of cultivators, leaving their defense in that area significantly weakened and unable to resist the onslaught of the demon beasts.

The few remaining defenders could only seek help from their ally, the Taiyi Sect, while constantly retreating. The demon beasts charged through, directly entering the heart of what was once the Golden Blade Sect's territory.

All the human oases along the way and Qiaoshou Sect's strongholds were easily razed to the ground, experiencing total destruction.

Fortunately, the Qiaoshou Sect was lucky that Taiyi Sect's War Hall Hall Master, Zheng Chao, had just successfully broken through to the Foundation Building stage a few days before.

Zheng Chao had been closed in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Foundation Building stage after exterminating the Forest Spring Watch of the Taiyi Sect. Roughly estimating, it had taken him more than ten years to achieve this feat.

It was quite rare for a Refining Qi completion cultivator to spend more than ten years to break through to the Foundation Building stage. Some suspected that something might have gone wrong during Zheng Chao's seclusion, causing him to go berserk and die inside. Meng Zhang had also used the Grand Evolving Fortune to predict Zheng Chao's situation and found that he had encountered dangers but eventually turned things around and survived.

Based on this prediction, he had vetoed the idea of forcefully interrupting Zheng Chao's seclusion to check on him and allowed him to continue his closed-door cultivation.

Since then, Zheng Chao had not participated in several actions of the Taiyi Sect. When the Flying Swan Sect ordered Meng Zhang and other Taiyi Sect Foundation Building cultivators to attack the Earthfire Sect, Zheng Chao was still in seclusion and was not on the enlistment list.

However, shortly after Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect's reinforcements were dispatched, Zheng Chao successfully broke through to the Foundation Building stage and emerged from seclusion.

Receiving Qiaoshou Sect's distress call, Zheng Chao knew that if he didn't stop the demon beast horde in the Qiaoshou Sect's territory, they would invade the Taiyi Sect's territory, causing even greater losses.

Thus, Zheng Chao called upon Shi Changqing, who was stationed at Singing Sand City, and gathered the remaining Taiyi Sect cultivators to rush to Qiaoshou Sect's aid.

Fortunately, they arrived just in time and, with the help of a solid mountain protection great formation and Qiaoshou Sect's defenders, managed to temporarily keep the overwhelming number of demon beasts at bay, blocking their charge at the former Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate.
