Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 459: Battle

After ending the conversation with Deep EarthSpirit General, Meng Zhang didn't let the heavy mood affect him for too long. The imminent invasion of Demon Wind Gobi was the top priority, which was related to the next development of Taiyi Sect and Meng Zhang's cultivation environment. Future matters could be dealt with later, for now, he needed to take good care of the present. Thinking too much would only waste his energy.

The entire Taiyi Sect was like a high-speed war machine, running precisely and orderly. On the agreed day, Taiyi Sect, Flying Swan Sect, and Northern DesertQi Family launched a massive invasion of Demon Wind Gobi together from three different directions.

The coalition led by Taiyi Sect attacked from the north, with more than ten Foundation Building cultivators leading a large army of cultivators to be the first to attack Demon Wind Gobi. Meng Zhang, Luo Ye, and Gu Yue Huaidie, three Gold Core Daoist Masters, stayed behind to be ready to respond at any time.

The coalition led by Flying Swan Sect attacked from the south. The main cultivators of Flying Swan Sect led the cultivators of various vassal forces, advancing mightily towards the front. This army had the largest number of people and the most massive scale. The cultivator army of Northern DesertQi Family attacked Demon Wind Gobi from between Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect.

The three armies attacked from three different directions, seemingly imposing, but with some flaws. If the demon beast army detected the human's movements and decided to concentrate all their forces to attack one of the human cultivator armies, the unlucky one among the three armies would suffer a severe loss.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters on the human side were all experienced in battle, even the youngest Meng Zhang had experienced several major battles in the Cultivation World. With their experience and strategy, they would not leave such an obvious flaw. This flaw was intentionally left to lure the main force of the demon beast army to attack actively.

If the main force of the demon beast army could be annihilated outside Demon Wind Gobi, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to occupying Demon Wind Gobi in the future. Although the three armies seemed far apart, each army had the power to deal with the demon beast army's siege in a short time. Moreover, they had enough flying boats, and mutual support was also very convenient.

As for the several Gold Core Daoist Masters, they had extremely strong mobility. They could quickly move out and support each other at any time. Unexpectedly, this attack on Demon Wind Gobi went surprisingly smoothly for the Gold Core Daoist Masters. Neither Taiyi Sect nor Northern DesertQi Family encountered any strong resistance. They almost broke through the boundary between Endless Sea of Sand and Demon Wind Gobi and began to penetrate Demon Wind Gobi quickly.

On the other hand, Flying Swan Sect encountered a little resistance. This was because this was the place where Flying Swan Sect and the demon beast army had been in a long-term standoff, and the demon beast side had a not weak defensive force here. However, facing the full-scale attack of Flying Swan Sect, the demon beast army responsible for defending here was quickly defeated. A Third Rank ferocious crocodile was in charge of commanding the demon beast army here. Facing the two Gold Core Daoist Masters, Fei Yu and Fei Jiang, it could barely resist for a while before leading the demon beast army to retreat actively. The demon beast army did not have the discipline and quality of human cultivators. Once they started to retreat, they fell into chaos.The Third Rank ferocious crocodile saw the situation was not good and abandoned the demon beast army, intending to escape with its own group. Fei Jiang and Fei Yu, Daoist Masters, pursued closely behind, while the cultivator army of Flying Swan Sect hunted down the fleeing demon beasts. Fei Shi, the strongest combatant of Flying Swan Sect, stayed alone at the border between Flying Swan Sect and Fire Cloud Sect to prevent any disruptions from Fire Cloud Sect that could affect Flying Swan Sect's plans.

In this attack, Flying Swan Sect achieved a complete victory. Not only did they kill a large number of demon beasts and capture countless others, but even the Third Rank ferocious crocodile was heavily injured by the combined efforts of Fei Jiang and Fei Yu, Daoist Masters, and it fled in panic, abandoning its own group. The smoothness of the battle was beyond the expectations of the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of Flying Swan Sect. They couldn't help but suspect if there was some deception or conspiracy on the side of the demon beasts.

However, from the beginning of the attack until its end, the demon beasts did not present any hidden moves that could change the course of the battle. It seemed that the demon beasts were truly inferior and not pretending to be defeated. Fei Jiang couldn't help but think that if they had known the defense of Demon Wind Gobi was so weak, Flying Swan Sect wouldn't have been tied down by so many forces in this area.

On the other hand, Fei Yu delved deeper into his thoughts. The powerful Third Rank middle-grade demon beasts did not appear here. Where could they have gone? What could be so important that made the demon beasts abandon the defense of Flying Swan Sect at all costs? Although there were doubts in their minds, Fei Yu and Fei Jiang did not stop their advance and continued to command the army to move forward.

Flying Swan Sect, busy chasing and killing demon beasts and cleaning up the battlefield, fell a bit behind. Meanwhile, Taiyi Sect and Northern DesertQi Family encountered minimal resistance and didn't even come across decent demon beast groups. They smoothly advanced.

The smooth progress of the advance actually made Meng Zhang a bit uneasy. The powerful Third Rank demon beasts would never allow human cultivators to rampage freely in Demon Wind Gobi. When and where would they appear to wait for the human cultivators? The arrow was already on the string and had to be released. At this point, this attack would certainly not stop just because of Meng Zhang's slight unease. Moreover, the most important thing was that Meng Zhang didn't have any sudden intuition or sense of danger.

Apart from Meng Zhang, there was also Gu Yue Huaidie, a Diviner, in the team. She also didn't sense anything abnormal or feel any imminent danger. The armies of Taiyi Sect and Northern DesertQi Family continued to move forward, following the agreement reached by the several Gold Core Daoist Masters before the start of the battle. After entering Demon Wind Gobi, the territory occupied by each faction would belong to that faction, and others couldn't seize it. The distribution of spoils would be fair based on the contributions made by the three factions.

Compared to the barren Endless Sea of Sand, the environment in Demon Wind Gobi was much better. Shortly after entering Demon Wind Gobi, traces of greenery could be seen. Deep EarthSpirit General, who was in the team, surveyed the area and discovered numerous spiritual energy nodes and even a few First Rank spirit veins. With some modifications, these places could become oases suitable for human habitation.

Within the dens of some demon beast groups, many precious spiritual herbs grew. The environment here was conducive to the growth of spiritual herbs, making it possible to transform it into a spiritual herb garden. The richness of Demon Wind Gobi stirred the greed of the cultivators from the three factions.
