Sect Master's Immortal Journey
Chapter 377: Ten Thousand Li (0.5 km) Rush to the RescueAmidst the massive invasion of demonic beasts, the cultivators of Qiaoshou Sect began sending out distress signals. When Zheng Chao and the others went to reinforce the defense, they also dispatched a messenger to seek help from Meng Zhang's team. The Second Rank Wind Driving Shuttle left behind by Meng Zhang at the sect played its role as the disciples piloted the flying vessel and quickly covered the vast distance, catching up with Meng Zhang's leading team.
Upon receiving the distress call from their disciples, Meng Zhang felt extremely anxious and wasted no time. He immediately sought Aunt Jin's presence to inform her of the situation. Qiaoshou Sect was on the front line, facing the fierce onslaught of demonic beasts that had already breached their territory and caused great destruction. Aunt Jin was even more distressed than Meng Zhang.
Together, they rushed to meet Zhao Lie Feng. Both sects' foundations were on the brink of danger, and even if it meant falling out with Zhao Lie Feng, they had to leave immediately and rush to aid their sects. If they couldn't defend their own sects, they wouldn't have the heart to continue battling the demonic army.
Seeing the two of them, Zhao Lie Feng listened to Meng Zhang's brief explanation and quickly understood the grave situation both sects were facing. Finally, Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin both implored Zhao Lie Feng to allow them to return and reinforce their respective sects. If even their own sects couldn't be safeguarded, they would have no intention to continue fighting the demonic army on the battlefield.
Zhao Lie Feng pondered for a long time, looking at Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin without speaking. He knew Meng Zhang wouldn't lie about this matter; the demonic beasts must have invaded both sects' territories on a large scale. At such a critical moment for their sects' survival, Zhao Lie Feng worried that Meng Zhang and the others might act recklessly if he firmly rejected their request. It could lead to discontent and even hatred toward the Flying Swan Sect.
While the main force of the Flying Swan Sect was still engaged with the demonic army, Zhao Lie Feng didn't want to force Meng Zhang and the others excessively. He was tough but not foolish and inflexible. He also had concerns about tearing his relationships with Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect and completely breaking ties.
After much consideration, Zhao Lie Feng finally relented. He issued an order in the name of the Flying Swan Sect's War Hall Master, instructing the cultivators of Taiyi Sect to rush to Qiaoshou Sect's territory immediately to resist the demonic invasion. They were to put all their efforts into safeguarding the side battlefront and relieve pressure from the main battlefront.
Zhao Lie Feng, known for his firmness, displayed a reasonable and measured approach, not rejecting Meng Zhang's request while maintaining the authority of the Flying Swan Sect and avoiding flip-flopping on decisions. This unexpected flexibility and adaptability made Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin look at him in a new light.
With the rescue forces mobilized like firefighters, Meng Zhang and Aunt Jin didn't waste time and promptly took their leave. Back at their respective sects' camps, the cultivators had already learned of the demonic invasion and the dire situation from the requesting disciples. They were all anxious.
With their mountain gates under threat, many of the cultivators' family members remained nearby, and they no longer had the inclination to continue fighting for the Flying Swan Sect.
Fortunately, Meng Zhang didn't disappoint them. He brought back new orders, and both sects immediately withdrew their forces, urgently rushing to the rear for reinforcement.
Meng Zhang didn't hesitate and took command without any false modesty. He began issuing orders to the cultivators of both sects. The forces were divided into three parts: Meng Zhang and several well-conditioned Foundation Building cultivators boarded the Wind Driving Shuttle to rush back for reinforcements; the main forces organized and boarded two Second Rank flying vessels to follow closely behind; and finally, a group of heavily injured disciples were allowed to stay and recuperate before slowly making their way back.
In the previous battle with Earthfire Sect during the day, many of the cultivators from both sects suffered varying degrees of injuries, including some seriously wounded.
However, facing the critical situation of the sects' territories being invaded, not only did lightly injured cultivators volunteer for the first wave of attack, but even many seriously injured ones competed to be part of the immediate reinforcement.
Now was not the time to argue with these cultivators. Meng Zhang selected several well-conditioned Foundation Building cultivators and boarded the Second Rank Wind Driving Shuttle, immediately leaving for their destination.
This Wind Driving Shuttle, originally compensated by the black market, was exceptionally fast, but it could only carry a limited number of cultivators. The shuttle was slender and sharp, and its interior space was quite small. To fully exploit the shuttle's speed advantage, it was best to use middle-grade spirit stones for propulsion.
At this critical moment, no one was concerned about conserving spirit stones. In recent years, Taiyi Sect had developed prosperously, and there was no shortage of spirit stones.
After a quick departure, the Wind Driving Shuttle did not take long to organize the remaining forces. They boarded the two Second Rank flying vessels and set off for reinforcements.
As for the heavily injured and those in poor condition, they could only wait patiently.
With a sufficient supply of middle-grade spirit stones and the Wind Driving Shuttle operating at full speed, the group led by Meng Zhang, boarded the Second Rank Wind Driving Shuttle, quickly traversed the vast distance.
Fortunately, the battle location with Earthfire Sect's cultivators did not penetrate too deeply into Flying Swan Sect's territory, and the distance to Qiaoshou Sect's territory was just over ten thousand li. Additionally, the Wind Driving Shuttle was known for its speed, even surpassing that of ordinary Foundation Building late-stage cultivators who couldn't maintain full-speed flight due to the limitations of their true qi.
Before this Wind Driving Shuttle suffered any internal damage, it could maintain continuous full-speed flight. Without any stops along the way, the group covered the distance in less than two days and was about to reach their destination. The Wind Driving Shuttle didn't return to the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate but directly headed towards the original Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate.
On board the shuttle, all cultivators held hope in their hearts that the mountain protection great formation would be effective and the defenders relying on the formation would hold on and withstand until the reinforcements arrived.
When the Wind Driving Shuttle arrived at the original Golden Blade Sect's mountain gate, the situation was already dire. Countless demonic beasts swarmed like a tide, continuously charging towards the mountain protection great formation. The area surrounding the great formation was densely packed with demonic beasts, almost without any gaps.
Though the situation was critical, the worst-case scenario had not yet occurred. The mountain protection great formation was still holding, and the cultivators inside were still persisting. The mountain gate had not been breached, which was fortunate in such dire circumstances.
