Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 412: Ambush

On Jue Ying's side, she asked her younger brother Qian Kaizhou and obtained similar results to Meng Zhang's side.

However, to be cautious, they exchanged questions and repeated their inquiries to the two brothers, all of which yielded almost identical answers.

At this point, they could basically conclude that the two brothers were telling the truth.

The fate that had befallen the two brothers was likely the result of being affected by some kind of attack on their mental state during the battle.

If they hadn't fortuitously encountered Meng Zhang's group and received treatment, it would have been difficult for the brothers to leave the Deadly Sea of Sand alive.

After some treatment and examination, Meng Zhang roughly determined that the two brothers were no longer in any danger.

However, the restrictions on the two brothers' bodies were still intact, and they remained immobilized. It wasn't time to restore their freedom yet.

Meng Zhang and Jue Ying discussed the situation.

Meng Zhang had come to the Deadly Sea of Sand this time for the sake of Ling Marrow as well. Upon hearing about the Ling Marrow, they naturally couldn't easily let it go.

No matter who obtained the Ling Marrow, Meng Zhang would take action to seize it.

When it came to achieving his own form the coreGrand Dao, Meng Zhang wouldn't care about his identity as a righteous cultivator at this moment.

When it came to forcibly seizing treasures or killing for treasure, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

They didn't know if Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo had already determined the victor at this point.

However, regardless of who ultimately won, they probably wouldn't linger here but leave the Deadly Sea of Sand as quickly as possible.

Time was of the essence, and Meng Zhang didn't delay any further. He led the two women and set off.

With a single wave of his hand, two invisible streams of true qi wrapped around the Qian Family brothers, pulling them along behind him.

Following the direction provided by the Qian Family brothers, Meng Zhang and his group flew straight to the location they mentioned.

Not flying too far, they saw the underground passages as described by the Qian Family brothers.

Dozens of giant tunnels crisscrossed the flat ground, extending far into the distance.

These enormous tunnels, hundreds of zhang deep, looked like ugly scars deeply imprinted on the earth.

Both inside and outside the tunnels were covered with piles of special ashes, likely the remains left by the destroyed sand monsters.

Meng Zhang carefully used his Deception Breaking Eye to examine the area and found traces of battles but no ongoing fight.

Could it be that the battle had already ended, and the victor had already left?

With this speculation in mind, Meng Zhang and the two women flew towards the location mentioned by the Qian Family brothers.

With the Qian Family brothers in tow, they entered one of the middle tunnels.

Arriving at the bottom of the tunnel, they found it filled with densely packed holes of various depths and various traces left by battles.

Ahead on the ground, lay two bodies that looked like Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo.

Could it be that they had already perished?

Although Meng Zhang found it hard to believe this result, there was a trace of relief in his heart.

If they really perished together, then he would save a lot of trouble. However, he didn't know where the Ling Marrow was now.

As Meng Zhang was thinking about the Ling Marrow, his gaze swept around, and a crystal-clear sphere the size of an infant's head fell into his eyes.

Meng Zhang's heart burst with joy, but then he suddenly felt something was amiss.

The sphere emitted an alluring light, captivating Meng Zhang and the others, making it impossible for them to look away.

The sphere seemed to exude a secretive power that silently attracted their minds.

Having the innate Divine Ability Mind Reading, Meng Zhang was highly sensitive to mental power. He keenly perceived that a strange power was silently invading his mind.

Meng Zhang himself had used Mind Reading many times to invade and read others' minds. Moreover, there were some contents related to mind confrontation in the legacies he obtained.

Reacting in time, Meng Zhang immediately resisted this invasion.

At this moment, Jin Qiao'er and Jue Ying's minds had already begun to waver.

Meng Zhang shouted loudly, "Be careful!"

His loud shout pulled the two women back from the verge of being entranced.

Jue Ying, who was extremely familiar with all kinds of tricks, immediately realized what was happening. A rare look of anger appeared on her face, followed by an uncontainable killing intent.

Clearly, this attempt to control her mind had thoroughly infuriated her.

Jin Qiao'er also quickly reacted, equally enraged.

For cultivators, any attempt to control their minds was despicable and intolerable.

As the sphere on the ground radiated a brilliant light, a series of indistinct murmurs filled the ears of the three.

The three of them first felt their minds shaking, but they immediately put up effective defenses.

Meng Zhang's continuous loud shouts weakened the power of the murmurs.

A light glowed around Jue Ying's neck as she activated the protective magic tool, the Tranquil Spirit Jade Pendant.

Jin Qiao'er also had a defensive magic tool against attacks on her mind, which kept the murmurs at bay.

Just as the three were countering the enemy's attacks on their minds, the Qian Family brothers, whom Meng Zhang had previously restrained, struggled and seemed confused. They emitted beast-like roars and broke free from the restrictions and Meng Zhang's true qi that had bound them.

Once they regained their freedom, the two brothers rushed toward Meng Zhang's group like wild beasts.

Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo, who had previously lain on the ground, almost indistinguishable from dead bodies, leaped up and also charged fiercely.

Under a flanking attack and the hidden enemy's mental attack, Meng Zhang's group momentarily found themselves at a disadvantage.

However, they didn't panic but calmly dealt with the situation.

With sufficient vigilance, the enemy's mental attack, hidden in the shadows, couldn't exert much influence and at most distracted them slightly.

As for Wang Qiquan's group, despite appearing ferocious and fearless of death, their actual strength had greatly diminished compared to before, and they clearly lacked clear consciousness, acting like puppets controlled by others.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Qiquan's loose cultivator group would indeed pose a great threat to Meng Zhang's group. However, under the current circumstances, they seemed fierce but had their strength greatly reduced, far inferior to their normal state.

Meng Zhang took out the Golden Crow Lantern, released the Solar True Flame, and blocked the strongest attacks from Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo.

Jin Qiao'er and Jue Ying joined forces to deal with the Qian Family brothers.

When they had previously restrained the Qian Family brothers, Meng Zhang and Jue Ying had thoroughly checked them and found no abnormalities. However, the sudden changes now were beyond their expectations.

Aside from a momentary surprise, once they realized what was happening, Meng Zhang's group successfully withstood the enemy's attacks and began to gradually turn the tide.

The murmurs emitted by the sphere on the ground gave Meng Zhang a familiar feeling.
