Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Meng Zhang and the Third Ranksand monster exchanged a few moves, and the monster, knowing it was no match, took the initiative to retreat. Meng Zhang, eager to save people, did not continue the pursuit and let it escape. He gave a few instructions to the rescued disciples and flew off again, heading towards the next location.

Using his Grand Evolving Fortune technique, Meng Zhang calculated the positions where the disciples were in danger. He swiftly traveled, engaging in battles and successfully rescuing most of the disciples. Meng Zhang killed several Demonic Cultivators and repelled the Third Ranksand monster, but he felt no sense of pride.

The sand monster was created as a puppet and only followed pre-set instructions. When an ordinary sand monster encounters a human, it immediately engages in a relentless fight. The Third Ranksand monster knows when to advance and retreat, demonstrating flexibility. However, it still harbors extreme hostility towards humans and will attack them on sight.

Most of these Demonic Cultivators are humans who can collaborate with the sand monster. It seems that the Fifth Rank great power has influenced them. It must have influenced the sand monster to cooperate with humans.

Thanks to Meng Zhang's presence, most of the cultivator teams sent out by the Taiyi Sect were saved, and the losses were relatively small. However, the other three forces were not able to respond in time and suffered heavy casualties as multiple teams were ambushed.

By the time the Gold Core Daoist Masters realized what was happening and began to regroup their teams, the cultivators who were sent out were almost completely wiped out.

To make matters worse, the Third Ranksand monster, along with the Demonic Cultivators, harassed the four armies of cultivators, quickly assessing their strengths and weaknesses. The Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect, with their large numbers of cultivators and two Gold Core Daoist Masters each, proved to be formidable opponents.

The Northern Desert Qi Family's team had the worst luck and became the target of two Third Ranksand monsters and a group of Demonic Cultivators. The combined strength of the two Third Ranksand monsters easily overwhelmed Qi Nanfei, the Daoist Master of the Qi Family.

Although the group of Demonic Cultivators were only at the Foundation Building stage, they possessed various cunning and treacherous demonic techniques, often catching their opponents off guard.

Less than ten Demonic Cultivators managed to suppress hundreds of Qi Family cultivators, putting them at a significant disadvantage. Fortunately, the well-trained Qi Family members quickly formed a defensive formation and managed to withstand the relentless attacks of the Demonic Cultivators.

The four armies of cultivators, from left to right, were the Taiyi Sect, Huang Family, Flying Swan Sect, and Northern Desert Qi Family. The distance between the four armies was only a few dozen miles, and even the farthest distance between the Taiyi Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family was less than two hundred miles.

With the speed of the Second Rank flying boats, which were the most numerous in the armies, they could cross this distance in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If the Gold Core Daoist Masters personally took action, it would take even less time.

When the Northern Desert Qi Family was under attack, they immediately sent out distress signals to the other teams. The Flying Swan Sect, being the closest, could have provided reinforcements almost instantly if they were willing. However, neither Fei Shi Daoist Master nor Wu Mingwei showed any intention of intervening. Instead, they gathered their cultivators, set up defensive formations, and adopted a strictly defensive posture.

The Huang Family, with their weak strength and inability to protect themselves, naturally did not want to get involved. The Taiyi Sect, being the farthest away, also had sand monsters and Demonic Cultivators constantly appearing near their team, making it impossible for them to act recklessly.

Coincidentally, Jin Li Daoist Master, who was supposed to oversee the overall situation and coordinate the operations, had not encountered the main force of the sand monsters during this time, which left her somewhat puzzled.

When everyone was under attack, she was flying ahead, intending to personally investigate the movements of the sand monsters. By the time she received the news of the attack from the rear and rushed back, the battle had already been going on for a long time.

Jin Li Daoist Master was about to chase after the retreating enemies in anger when a Demonic Cultivator threw out a pitch-black token. The token turned into black smoke in the air, enveloping both the sand monsters and the Demonic Cultivators. By the time Jin Li Daoist Master dispersed the black smoke, the sand monsters and DemonicCultivators had already disappeared without a trace. The mysterious techniques of the Demonic Cultivators were indeed formidable, even catching Jin Li Daoist Master off guard.

Frustrated, she was about to continue the pursuit, but then she realized that she didn't know the situation of the other teams. She suppressed her anger and first contacted the Flying Swan Sect and other teams to ensure their safety. Only after confirming that everyone was unharmed did Jin Li Daoist Master finally calm down.

She wasn't truly concerned about the well-being of the Flying Swan Sect and the others, but as the appointed commander by True Monarch Tian Zhu, she felt responsible for the significant losses suffered by her army of cultivators. She didn't want to face True Monarch Tian Zhu with a guilty conscience.

Next, due to the fear of being divided and conquered, the four armies quickly regrouped and appeared within each other's line of sight. Jin Li Daoist Master gathered several Gold Core Daoist Masters to discuss countermeasures.

Considering the intelligence of the sand monsters, even the Third Ranksand monster shouldn't be this cunning and opportunistic. It was clear that the Demonic Cultivators played a strategic role after joining forces with the sand monsters.

These enemies knew that they couldn't match the combined strength of the four armies head-on, so they resorted to guerrilla warfare. The sand monster nests were scattered throughout the Deadly Sea of Sand. To completely destroy the sand monster nests, the teams had to split up to avoid missing any. However, this made them vulnerable to ambushes. Moreover, the enemy was powerful. The revealed enemies alone were not easily defeated by any of the four armies.

After the four armies converged, the enemy immediately disappeared without a trace, leaving them unsure of their whereabouts. Meng Zhang could use his Grand Evolving Fortune technique to calculate the enemy's location with great certainty, but he couldn't reveal his identity as a diviner in this situation.

Ultimately, this was True Monarch Tian Zhu's war, and the Taiyi Sect was forced onto the battlefield. At this moment, Jin Li Daoist Master demonstrated her experience as a seasoned Gold Core Daoist Master.

She took out an ancient mirror and flew into the sky, using a secret technique to scan the surroundings chaotically. After a while, she landed on the ground and pointed to several black dots on the mirror, indicating the hiding places of the Demonic Cultivators.

Dealing with these slippery enemies was not easy with a large army. Jin Li Daoist Master directly gathered the other six Gold Core Daoist Masters and personally led them to sweep through the sand monster and Demonic Cultivator hideouts.
