Chapter 64: Rushing

The cultivators from the Zhao Family's area were quite far away, but relying on the speed of their flying boats, they quickly arrived here to reinforce the situation. Upon seeing Meng Zhang and the others below, Zhao Yanbei, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, cursed silently in his heart. He had come all this way to help the old nemesis, Taiyi Sect, defend against the sand monsters. It seemed that the credit for discovering the sand monster nest had fallen into the hands of these lucky Taiyi Sect fellows.

Zhao Yanbei felt resentful but knew he couldn't abandon everything and leave in front of everyone. Even the most magnanimous sects in the Cultivation World would have strict military laws when facing the common enemy of the sand monsters. Moreover, Twin Success Valley, known for its domineering style, would not tolerate any cowardly behavior. If Zhao Yanbei dared to escape the battlefield in front of everyone today, there was a good chance that Twin Success Valley would annihilate the Zhao Family tomorrow.

Reluctantly suppressing his anger, Zhao Yanbei led the Zhao Family cultivators and reluctantly joined the battle. With more reinforcements arriving, the human cultivators gradually gained the upper hand, pushing the sand monster horde back underground.

At this time, three figures flew from a distance and, within a few breaths, arrived above the battlefield. These three individuals were undoubtedly high-level cultivators at the Foundation Building stage, capable of flying in the air using the power of Qi.

The leader among them, an old man, coldly snorted and swung the verdant bamboo stick he held towards the front. Instantly, countless staff shadows appeared in the sky above the battlefield, striking down upon the sand monster horde. Whether they were small sand monsters or soldier-level ones, once they were hit by the staff shadows, their bodies were instantly crushed to pieces.

The middle-aged man following the old man silently pushed both hands downwards, releasing a bone-chilling coldness that spread in all directions. The sand monsters emerging from the underground were immediately covered in thick frost. Their movements slowed, and then their bodies burst open like blocks of ice.

Among the three, the last one to fly over was an elegant and knowledgeable Daoist. By the time he arrived, the battle below had already ended. After the two Foundation Building stage experts took action, not only were all the sand monsters on the ground eliminated, but no new ones emerged from below.

"It seems that you two are indeed formidable. The battle ended as soon as you made a move. This old Daoist didn't even have a chance to get involved," the Daoist said, displaying his courtesy.

"You Daoists always talk as sweet as honey. You guys are so good at using flowery words to please people," the old man who wielded the bamboo stick said, jokingly.

"What's going on here? Why are so many sand monsters emerging from underground?" The middle-aged man did not participate in the conversation between the two, asking about the situation below.

The Foundation Building stage cultivators from Twin Success Valley's main camp had not yet arrived, but three unfamiliar Foundation Building stage cultivators arrived first.

Meng Zhang speculated about the identities of these three Foundation Building stage cultivators. As the one who had discovered the sand monster nest first, he should respond to them.

As the middle-aged man's words fell, Meng Zhang took the initiative to step forward and respectfully saluted the three. "I have met the three seniors. I am Meng Zhang from Taiyi Sect."

Before Meng Zhang could continue speaking, two more figures flew over from a distance.

These two figures were extremely fast and appeared above the battlefield in the blink of an eye. They were none other than the Twin Success Valley's Foundation Building stage elders, Shan Ying and Xiao Shenqiang.

Seeing the three individuals in the air, Shan Ying's expression turned unpleasant. "Why are you three here?"

Meng Zhang, as a junior, knew better than to interrupt the conversation between the Foundation Building stage elders. He stood silently like a block of wood, not uttering a word.

"You guys from Twin Success Valley are so useless that you still haven't found the sand monster nest. I got impatient waiting and came to help you," the old man with the bamboo stick said carelessly.

Xiao Shenqiang's smile disappeared from his face. "Old Bamboo Stick, Twin Success Valley knows how to handle its affairs. It's none of your business, Green Bamboo Mountain."

In the western region of the Flying Swan Sect, Twin Success Valley had the largest number of Foundation Building stage cultivators and the most formidable strength. As the dominant force in the region, Twin Success Valley regarded itself as the local overlord.

Among the forces of the same level in this region, Liu Family, known for their cunning and scheming nature, preferred not to directly confront Twin Success Valley. Forest Spring Watch, as a Daoist sect, maintained a peaceful and composed style and would not easily provoke Twin Success Valley either.

However, Green Bamboo Mountain had always been at odds with Twin Success Valley. Although Green Bamboo Mountain had already established itself as a separate sect, it maintained a close relationship with Flying Swan Sect. In this region, Green Bamboo Mountain considered itself the representative of Flying Swan Sect and believed it was responsible for managing the area on Flying Swan Sect's behalf.

With a habit of meddling in everything that happened in the region, Green Bamboo Mountain and Twin Success Valley clashed endlessly, refusing to yield to each other. Twin Success Valley especially looked down on Green Bamboo Mountain and even felt superior to Flying Swan Sect, a Gold Core sect. But these presumptuous fellows from Green Bamboo Mountain wanted to assert their dominance over Twin Success Valley, which the latter would not tolerate.

The relationship between the two sides had been hostile for many years, and conflicts had occurred multiple times. If it were not for Flying Swan Sect being above them, the two sides might have started an all-out war.

Seeing that the conversation between Xiao Shenqiang and Old Man Bamboo Stick was becoming less amicable, the Daoist quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Seniors, the important thing right now is the situation at hand. Let's put everything else aside for now and discuss it later. Currently, the sand monsters are running rampant, and it's not the time for internal strife."

Given the current situation, Xiao Shenqiang and Old Man Bamboo Stick were not really trying to provoke each other. They were just habitually engaging in a verbal spat. Now that someone was offering a way to defuse the situation, they naturally took the opportunity to climb down from the high horse.

The Daoist looked down at Meng Zhang below. "Kid, you were about to say something. Continue."

"Reporting to the seniors, I discovered a passage leading to the sand monster nest below," Meng Zhang replied cautiously.

Seeing the previous battlefield, all five Foundation Building stage cultivators had some speculations about the sand monster nest. Hearing Meng Zhang say it himself was the final confirmation they needed.

"No wonder, no wonder..." The Daoist muttered to himself.

He saw Xiao Shenqiang and Shan Ying looking puzzled, so he quickly explained for them.
