Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 456: Union
The Jiuqu League, which has more than one Primordial Spirit True Monarch, is extremely powerful and not something that the Flying Swan Sect, a mere Gold Core sect, can provoke.
Not to mention the entire Jiuqu League, even the neighboring Great Wind City and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch, which belong to the Jiuqu League, as well as the Fire Cloud Sect, are much stronger than the Flying Swan Sect.
It was already quite difficult for the Flying Swan Sect to repel the invasion of the Fire Cloud Sect, and luck played a significant role in their success. Moreover, True Monarch Tian Zhu, who stands behind the Jiuqu League, would not want the Flying Swan Sect to go to war with the Jiuqu League. As the dominant force in the Endless Sea of Sand, the Flying Swan Sect holds sway, but when facing a behemoth like the Jiuqu League, they can only retreat with their tails between their legs.
Even if they feel unwilling and resentful, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect can only reluctantly accept the reality. However, regardless of the circumstances, the Flying Swan Sect’s victory this time has temporarily relieved the threat from the Fire Cloud Sect and eliminated the burden of fighting on two fronts. Now, the Flying Swan Sect can concentrate all its strength to deal with the threat from the Demon Wind Gobi.
In fact, after the Fire Cloud Sect withdrew, Daoist Masters Fei Yu and Fei Jiang hurriedly headed to the front line facing the Demon Wind Gobi. Their secret departure was also a significant risk.
If the demonic army of the Demon Wind Gobi launched a massive invasion at this time, the Flying Swan Sect would definitely not be able to withstand it. The Flying Swan Sect would no longer be able to spare any other Gold Core Daoist Masters to stop the Third Rank demonic beasts. Fortunately, luck was on the side of the Flying Swan Sect.
During this period, the front line remained relatively calm, with no major conflicts occurring apart from some routine minor skirmishes. It seemed that the demonic beasts had not detected the true situation of the Flying Swan Sect and did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack.
After the return of Daoist Masters Fei Yu and Fei Jiang, the Flying Swan Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief. After discussing the plan to jointly attack the Demon Wind Gobi with Meng Zhang, Luo Ye, and Gu Yue Huaidie, Meng Zhang sent envoys to contact the high-level members of the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family.
Currently, the Taiyi Sect can barely be considered on par with the Northern Desert Qi Family. Whether the Flying Swan Sect likes it or not, the Taiyi Sect now has the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the Flying Swan Sect.
After finding some free time, Meng Zhang began to deal with the remains of the Earth Fox Demon General. Although it was only half of the corpse, the demonic core remained intact and could be used to refine Foundation Building Pills. This was the main purpose for Meng Zhang to take such a great risk in seizing the corpse.
The other parts of the corpse also had significant uses. Not to mention, Meng Zhang’s two little companions and the spirit pets of the sect’s high-level members would have fresh flesh and blood to devour.
After handling the remains of the Earth Fox Demon General, Meng Zhang’s disciple, An Xiaoran, came to pay him a visit. An Xiaoran brought great surprises to Meng Zhang as she revealed all her significant gains in the Mirage Secret Realm to her master.
Surprisingly, An Xiaoran and her companions managed to obtain spiritual herbs in the Mirage Secret Realm that could be used to refine Foundation Building Pills. This made Meng Zhang feel both unexpected and a little regretful.
The daring act of seizing the remains of the Earth Fox Demon General seemed somewhat unnecessary now. As the only Gold Core Daoist Master of the Taiyi Sect and the lord of the sect, Meng Zhang carried the heavy expectations of the entire sect. He could no longer take such risks in the future.
Meng Zhang reminded himself in his heart, constantly warning himself.Of course, although the value of Meng Zhang’s risk-taking was greatly discounted, it still had significant meaning. An Xiaoran had at least enough spiritual herbs to refine two batches of Foundation Building Pills, and with the demonic core of the Earth Fox Demon General, they had three opportunities to refine Foundation Building Pills.
In addition to allowing Shi Changqing to take action twice to ensure a certain output of pills, it also gave Pill Hall Hall Master Zhang Yingying a chance to practice. Although Shi Changqing was respectful, the Shi Family was still a vassal and he was not a disciple of the Taiyi Sect. Zhang Yingying was a Taiyi Sect disciple and was obviously more reliable and trusted by the members of the sect.
Refining Foundation Building Pills, a high-difficulty pill, was also a significant exercise for Zhang Yingying and could greatly enhance her alchemy technique. As the only Second Rank Alchemist of the Taiyi Sect, Zhang Yingying would naturally receive the full support of the sect and have many opportunities.
In addition to reporting their gains to Meng Zhang, An Xiaoran also came to inform him that she was preparing to close up and break through to the Foundation Building stage. With the significant gains in the Mirage Secret Realm, she had enough merit points to exchange for the only Foundation Building Pill in the sect.
For An Xiaoran, exchanging for the Foundation Building Pill was just a precaution. With her aptitude and foundation, she had a good chance of successfully breaking through to the Foundation Building stage without taking the pill.
Meng Zhang encouraged An Xiaoran a few times, and everything that needed to be done and said had already been done and said. He did not say much and let An Xiaoran leave.
With sufficient spiritual herbs, the Taiyi Sect could once again refine Foundation Building Pills. Before setting out for the Demon Wind Gobi, Meng Zhang had one very important thing to do, which was to meet with the Deep Earth Spirit General and make him fulfill his promise.
However, when Meng Zhang sent someone to call the Deep Earth Spirit General, he found that he was not in the sect for some time. According to the disciples of the sect, after returning from the Mirage Secret Realm, Delicate Water Spirit General, Shocking Thunder Spirit General, and Deep Earth Spirit General left the Taiyi Sect together to search for the whereabouts of a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.
Meng Zhang was a bit helpless. How could they leave the sect at this time? He suspected that they were deliberately avoiding him. Could it be that they did not want to tell him about the past of the Taiyi Sect, so they found a way to avoid him? But this behavior was obviously not in line with the usual character of Deep Earth Spirit General, nor was it the style of Shocking Thunder Spirit General.
Could it be that they were both influenced by Delicate Water Spirit General, this arrogant woman? After thinking for a while, Meng Zhang had no clue and no other good way, so he had to put this matter aside. After all, they were members of the Taiyi Sect and could not avoid him forever. There would be a day when Meng Zhang would know all the truth from their mouths.
On the other hand, the envoys sent by Meng Zhang successfully met with the high-level members of the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family. There were many opposing voices within the Flying Swan Sect. They believed that they should take advantage of the opportunity to rest and recover after the war with the Fire Cloud Sect and slowly restore the losses of the sect. Launching a large-scale invasion of the Demon Wind Gobi at this time and igniting the flames of war was not a wise move.
However, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect all agreed with Meng Zhang’s proposal. The Flying Swan Sect had suffered heavy losses in several major battles in recent years, and its disciples were exhausted and unable to catch their breath. However, for the long-term interests of the sect, they must persist for a while longer and continue to use force against the Demon Wind Gobi. Now that the Fire Cloud Sect had been defeated and was unable to interfere in the Endless Sea of Sand, it was the best time for the Flying Swan Sect to completely solve this major enemy.
