Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 406: Unexpected Encounter

As long as Meng Zhang could use the Grand Evolving Fortune to calculate the whereabouts of the guarding sand monsters, finding the Spirit Essence should not be far away.

The only concern Meng Zhang had was whether his Divination Art would work smoothly within the Deadly Sea of Sand.

The mysterious force shrouding the entire Deadly Sea of Sand always made him uneasy. If he hadn't been a Diviner with a keen sense, he might not have detected the presence of this force at all.

Meng Zhang dove toward the ground, planning to regroup with Jin Qiao'er and Jue Ying to see what they had found. As soon as he arrived on the ground, Meng Zhang faintly heard sounds of battle to his left.

He didn't dare to delay and flew over immediately.

Before he could get close to the battlefield, Meng Zhang witnessed a scene he could never have imagined.

Ye Feifan, who had a history of conflict with Meng Zhang in Great Wind City, had somehow appeared in the Deadly Sea of Sand.

At this moment, Ye Feifan no longer resembled the disheveled and pathetic appearance he had in Great Wind City. Instead, he appeared lively, arrogant, and domineering.

Ye Feifan didn't use any magic tools and relied solely on his bare hands to suppress both Jue Ying and Jin Qiao'er.

Jue Ying and Jin Qiao'er were both at the middle stage of Foundation Building, with Jue Ying even at the peak of the stage, ready to break through to the late stage at any time.

However, their combined efforts were helpless against Ye Feifan.

Jue Ying wielded a Wind Dance Whip, creating a plethora of whip shadows that stirred up fierce winds.

Jin Qiao'er used her Golden Rings to continuously attack Ye Feifan.

Yet, Ye Feifan strolled calmly through their intense attacks, and with the swift movements of his palms, he forced the two women to retreat repeatedly.

Meng Zhang couldn't fathom why Ye Feifan appeared at this place and engaged with the two women.

Although he knew that both Jue Ying and Jin Qiao'er had hidden aces yet to be revealed, Meng Zhang didn't want to just watch from the sidelines any longer.

He brought out his Tangling Silk Soft Sword and turned into a streak of light, attacking Ye Feifan.

Meng Zhang's progress had been too rapid. The once handy Second Rank flying sword couldn't keep up with his current Cultivation Base.

While using the Dance of the Wind Willow Sword Technique as his regular attack method, Meng Zhang secretly had the Golden Crow Lantern ready to be activated at any time.

As soon as Meng Zhang made a move, Ye Feifan recognized him.

"It's you. Impressive, little guy. You actually managed to deceive even this old man when you were in Great Wind City."

"It seems you've long since figured out my bewitchment technique. You sure can act, and your performance is incredibly lifelike."

While Ye Feifan spoke, he continued to fight, bringing Meng Zhang into the midst of the battle.

"Kid, who are you really? I inquired all over Great Wind City but never found anyone like you. Could it be that you're not a cultivator from Great Wind City?"

"Are you hiding your origins because they are too shady?"

Ye Feifan fought with ease, trying to ascertain Meng Zhang's identity and background.

Joining the battle himself, Meng Zhang discovered the formidable aspects of Ye Feifan.

Meng Zhang, as a cultivator who had completed the Foundation Building stage, received the inheritance of Taiyi Sect during its heyday and experienced numerous battles against various cultivators.

Yet, now, even when teaming up with Jin Qiao'er and Jue Ying, they could barely hold their own against Ye Feifan and gain the upper hand.

Of course, the three of them were still holding back, not revealing their most powerful moves.

However, given Ye Feifan's shrewd nature, he surely had hidden aces up his sleeve.

Ever since the first time Meng Zhang saw through Ye Feifan's true nature, he had been wary of this old fox.

To use one's own descendant as a tool, employing the taboo Bloodline Parasitism Art in the Cultivation WorldMeng Zhang had never encountered anything similar before.

The old ghost within Ye Feifan was on the verge of forming a core before his fall. Now it seemed that not only had he regained his Cultivation Base, but he had also made even greater progress.

Forming a corethat's right, Ye Feifan's Cultivation Base was now close to forming a core.

No matter how many contingencies he had left behind, he still needed a Third Rank spirit vein or similar spiritual objects.

In his situation, it would probably be challenging to borrow a Third Rank spirit vein from Jiuqu League.

Although the Ghost Path technique like Bloodline Parasitism was concealed, it might not escape the notice of Gold Core Daoist Masters.

As the master of Jiuqu League, they were, after all, a righteous sect that couldn't tolerate the use of evil methods like Bloodline Parasitism.

The information about the Spirit Essence's existence in the Deadly Sea of Sand was known to many major forces in Jiuqu League, and Ye Feifan should have learned about it through some means.

Unable to borrow a Third Rank spirit vein, he must have set his sights on the Spirit Essence.

With this, Ye Feifan became Meng Zhang's direct competitor.

As Meng Zhang guessed Ye Feifan's intentions, the old fox had likely guessed his as well.

"Little friend, you have already completed the Foundation Building stage. Instead of staying at home to cultivate and prepare to break through to the Gold Core stage, you risked everything and came to this godforsaken place, the Deadly Sea of Sand."

"I suppose your home doesn't even have a Third Rank spirit vein?"

"There are intricate relationships between the major cultivation families in Great Wind City, and marriage alliances are not uncommon. Even if your home doesn't have a Third Rank spirit vein, you could ask your old acquaintances with a thick skin, and there should be a solution."

"Now, I can be sureyou are indeed not a scion of a major family in Great Wind City."

Ye Feifan's face appeared gentle, and his tone seemed like that of an old friend, very affectionate.

However, when he struck, there was no mercy, and he targeted Meng Zhang's vital points at every turn.

"Little friend, you are truly fortunate. Even in the Deadly Sea of Sand, you are accompanied by two charming beauties."

"Little friend, you alone can't handle two beauties. How about giving one to me, and I'll take good care of her for you?"

Ye Feifan's vulgar words seemed as though Jue Ying hadn't heard them at all, and she remained as calm as ever.

However, Jin Qiao'er, with a thinner skin, found it hard to bear. Her face flushed with embarrassment, she was ready to use some powerful methods to teach this shameless old man a lesson.

Meng Zhang intervened in time to stop her.

It was not that Meng Zhang didn't want to deal with the old man, but he had made a new discovery.

Not far away, cultivators were flying rapidly toward their location.

Meng Zhang wasn't sure whether the newcomers were friends or foes, so it would be best to keep some cards hidden.

Not just one group, but two groups of cultivators were approaching from different directions.

Seeing that others were getting close, Ye Feifan similarly noticed them.

He made a few moves to suppress Meng Zhang and the others, then withdrew to the side, remaining vigilant in secret.

Ye Feifan's response made Meng Zhang breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the newcomers were not his allies; otherwise, Ye Feifan wouldn't have acted this way.
