Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Chapter 462: Respective Dealing

Both the Golden Tiger Demon General and the Dark Crow Demon General suffered serious injuries when facing the True Monarch Vermilionwisp of soul in the small world. After leaving the small world, they rushed back without enough time to heal properly. However, they were both Third Rank middle-grade demon beasts many years ago, and in terms of strength, they were both above the Lion Demon General.

Even though they couldn't fully display their strength due to their injuries, their fighting power was still not necessarily weaker than that of the Lion Demon General. However, the Poison Sand Demon General was heavily injured and had to leave the battlefield to heal as soon as reinforcements arrived. The Dark Crow tribe and the Poisonous Sand Lizard tribe suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, and their strength was greatly reduced.

On the other hand, the Lion Demon General only had itself and the Bald Vulture Demon General, who was only a Third Rank lower-grade demon beast and was at a disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power. However, the large number of demon beasts under its command, especially its own tribe, which had been deliberately cultivated for many years, were much stronger and greatly benefited the Lion Demon General.

As long as a demon beast had the support of its tribe, it could exert much stronger combat power than when it was alone. Both sides had their advantages and disadvantages, and they were stuck in a stalemate.

The battles between Gold Core Daoist Masters and Third Rank demon beasts often lasted for a long time, especially when many demon beast tribes were involved, the process of the battle was even longer. Neither side had the ability to end the battle quickly, and they could only reluctantly engage in a protracted war.

Both sides were already bloodthirsty and had formed a blood feud. Neither side was willing to give up easily. If there was no external intervention, this battle would definitely end with one side being annihilated in order to determine the final winner.

The main force of the demon beasts in the Demon Wind Gobi was gathered here, which gave the unsuspecting Taiyi Sect three factions a big advantage. The armies of the three factions marched forward in the Demon Wind Gobi, attacking and occupying more and more territory deep in the Demon Wind Gobi.

At this time, both the Lion Demon General and the Dark Crow Demon General learned through their respective intelligence channels that human cultivators were invading in large numbers. At this point, even if they were unwilling, both sides had to temporarily cease fire.

Originally, the best choice for both sides at this time was to temporarily cooperate and first repel the invading human cultivators, and then slowly deal with their own grievances. However, demon beasts were not humans after all. Even Third Rank demon beasts, whose intelligence was not inferior to humans, still had a lot of animalistic instincts in their bodies, making it difficult to completely get rid of their instinctive constraints. For human cultivators, there were no permanent friends or enemies. The transformation between enemies and friends could happen in an instant. From this perspective, demon beasts were still very immature. Even the Lion Demon General, who had the thickest skin, could not bring itself to talk to the Dark Crow Demon General, let alone immediately turn its enemy into a friend and fight together.

Although there was some tacit understanding between several Third Rank demon beasts, they were far from being able to unite. With the tacit consent of the Dark Crow Demon General, the Lion Demon General led its army of demon beasts to slowly withdraw from the battle and leave the area.After watching Lion Demon General lead its army away, the Dark Crow Demon General ordered its subordinates, the Dark Crow tribe, to quickly rest and prepare for the next battle. Both the Dark Crow Demon General and the Poison Sand Demon General knew that they should unite with Lion Demon General to fight against the invading human cultivators. However, they both had a deep-seated resentment.

The Poison Sand Demon General was heavily injured by Lion Demon General, and its face was damaged, and its injuries were not light. The Dark Crow Demon General, on the other hand, had always been wary of Lion Demon General's coveting of the White Lion Demon King's legacy, which was its biggest taboo. The huge casualties of their subordinates' demon beast tribes made them both hate Lion Demon General and wish to tear it apart.

After Lion Demon General led its army of demon beasts away from the battlefield, it quickly learned about the strength of the invading human cultivators through various channels. The severe situation made it very worried. The three human factions, united, far surpassed Lion Demon General in terms of high-end combat power and overall strength.

Facing such a dominant enemy, Lion Demon General was unable to resist. At this point, it regretted its previous actions and should not have torn its face with Poison Sand Demon General and started a war. It lost a large number of demon beasts and gained nothing, which was a waste of its strength.

Helpless, Lion Demon General could only lead its army of demon beasts back to its old lair, hoping to rely on the terrain to defend the place. At the same time, it also sent its subordinates to spread the news of the human cultivators' invasion throughout the Demon Wind Gobi, hoping to prepare all the demon beast tribes as soon as possible.

It sent a message to the Ferocious Crocodile Demon General, telling it not to overestimate its abilities and resist the invading human cultivators alone. Instead, it should quickly join forces with Lion Demon General to defend their old lair. The two most powerful demon beast forces in the Demon Wind Gobi were deterred by the human cultivators' great formation and did not organize any resistance.

The armies of the three factions were like entering an uninhabited land in the Demon Wind Gobi, rampaging around and hunting down fleeing demon beasts. Hunting demon beasts was different from killing sand monsters, as demon beasts' corpses were valuable spoils of war. The main force of Taiyi Sect's cultivators maintained a strict formation and was ready to deal with any changes.

Flying Swan Sect and Northern Desert Qi Family were also experienced forces and took similar measures to Taiyi Sect. After Taiyi Sect entered the Demon Wind Gobi, it gained a lot, but it still had not found the Third Rank spirit vein that Meng Zhang needed the most.

Unlike human cultivators, demon beasts also needed spiritual energy to cultivate. However, when spiritual energy was insufficient, they had other ways to replace it. At most, their cultivation efficiency would be slightly lower, and their advancement would be slower. Every night when the moon was full, demon beasts could absorb the moon's essence. During the full moon, there might even be Emperor's Flowing Liquid.

When Second Rank demon beasts advanced to Third Rank, even without a Third Rank spirit vein, they could still find a way to succeed. Of course, spirit veins were also precious to demon beasts. Sufficient spiritual energy was also helpful for their advancement. The mediocre strength and slow cultivation base advancement of demon beasts in the Demon Wind Gobi were largely due to the lack of sufficient spirit veins.
