Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 466: Postponing

The Long-hair Demon General visited the Dark Crow Demon General to persuade them to join forces with the Lion Demon General. The Dark Crow Demon General did not hide anything from their subordinates.

The Second Rank Dark Crow is already an important grassroots leader within the Dark Crow tribe, qualified to know and even participate in significant matters within the tribe.

This Second Rank Dark Crow, captured by Niu Dawei, was well aware of the conversation between the Long-hair Demon General and the Dark Crow Demon General.

After Meng Zhang performed a soul search, he uncovered almost all the secrets of this Second Rank Dark Crow, including knowledge of this matter.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Zhang sent Niu Dawei to invite Luo Ye Daoist Master and Gu Yue Huaidie.

Once the two arrived, Meng Zhang did not conceal anything and explained the situation to them in detail.

After listening, Luo Ye Daoist Master became a bit anxious.

If the two groups of demonic beasts were to join forces, the human cultivators might not have a chance of victory.

And she would no longer have the opportunity to kill the Golden Tiger Demon General.

Luo Ye Daoist Master proposed that Gu Yue Huaidie should intervene and forcefully suppress the differences between the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family, so that the three forces could select a group of demonic beasts to engage in battle. The goal would be to eliminate one group before the two groups of demonic beasts could unite, thus gaining the upper hand in the subsequent battles.

As soon as Luo Ye Daoist Master made this proposal, Gu Yue Huaidie opposed it.

Gu Yue Huaidie believed that it would be inappropriate for her to intervene and forcefully subdue the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family.

She was not willing to get too deeply involved in the internal affairs of the Endless Sea of Sand. This expedition was merely her contribution as a righteous cultivator, assisting the human cultivators in their fight against the demonic beasts.

Furthermore, even if Gu Yue Huaidie were to successfully subdue the four Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family, they would only pay lip service and not wholeheartedly contribute in future battles.

After Gu Yue Huaidie expressed her thoughts, Meng Zhang strongly agreed and raised another concern.

Currently, the two groups of demonic beasts are still hostile towards each other due to past grievances, and there is no sign of them joining forces.

At this moment, if the human cultivators were to launch a full-scale attack, it might actually prompt the two groups of demonic beasts to unite.

Meng Zhang’s idea was also quite reasonable, and both Gu Yue Huaidie and Luo Ye Daoist Master agreed with it.

If the current situation is maintained and the two groups of demonic beasts do not feel a significant threat, it is unlikely that they will easily come together.

However, if there is no major offensive, when will the issue in the Demon Wind Gobi be resolved?

Taiyi Sect can afford to wait, but when facing the Flying Swan Sect of the Fire Cloud Sect, they may not be able to wait.

Furthermore, the mission of Deep EarthSpirit General to find the Third Rank spirit vein is not going smoothly.

He has surveyed a large area around him but has not found any clues to the Third Rank spirit vein.

It is reasonable to think that if there were indeed a Third Rank spirit vein nearby, the demonic beasts living here for thousands of years would have discovered it long ago.

Demon Wind Gobi has been under the control of demonic beasts for over a thousand years, so it is highly unlikely that there is a large spirit vein that even the demonic beasts are unaware of.

Given this situation, Meng Zhang can only obtain the Third Rank spirit vein by taking it from the two groups of demonic beasts.

Of course, the geomantic work of Deep EarthSpirit General is not without its purpose.

Through geomancy, he has identified the mineral resources in the surrounding area and discovered some First Rank spirit veins. This has significant implications for the future development and utilization of this area by Taiyi Sect.Regarding the intelligence obtained about the Long-hair Demon General, Meng Zhang had no intention of concealing it and had it reported to the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family. After the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect received this intelligence, they verified it and then flew over to discuss with Meng Zhang.

After some discussion, there was no good solution, and they could only follow Meng Zhang’s suggestion to maintain the status quo for the time being and not launch a large-scale attack.

Of course, everyone knew that this was not a long-term solution, but for the time being, they could only act in this way due to their lack of strength. Faced with powerful demonic beasts, the human cultivators did not have an absolute advantage.

After the discussion, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect returned to their own camp. However, on the Northern Desert Qi Family’s side, there was no news after receiving the intelligence from Meng Zhang. Qi Nanfei, the Gold Core Daoist Master, was nowhere to be seen.

During this time, the cultivators of the three forces were not idle and were plundering various resources in the Demon Wind Gobi.

In fact, this situation was quite good for Taiyi Sect. Almost every day, Taiyi Sect cultivators could reap a considerable harvest. Although the mineral resources in the Demon Wind Gobi were not as abundant as those in the Endless Sea of Sand, there was still a significant amount of them. Demonic beasts did not have the ability to explore and mine minerals like humans. Only a few demonic beasts could use their instincts to inefficiently utilize these mineral resources. If they could occupy this area for a long time and fully develop and utilize these mineral resources, it would be a very lucrative source of income.

It seemed that both the demonic beasts and human cultivators were in some kind of strange stalemate. Neither side had the intention of launching a major war, but the small-scale battles between human cultivators and small groups of demonic beasts had never stopped and were becoming increasingly intense.

After half a month, Qi Nangui, the Gold Core Daoist Master of the Northern Desert Qi Family, took the initiative to visit Meng Zhang.

During this half month, Meng Zhang had been wanting to discuss the next steps with the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Northern Desert Qi Family, but he had not seen them.

Now that Qi Nangui had taken the initiative to visit, Meng Zhang couldn’t help but have some thoughts. However, when Qi Nangui revealed his purpose, Meng Zhang was shocked and threw all his thoughts out of his mind.

It turned out that during this time, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Qi Family did not know how, but they had secretly made contact with the Lion Demon General. Both sides had a common goal, which was to enter the lair of the Dark Crow Demon General and obtain the legacy left by the White Lion Demon King.

It is unclear what the two sides discussed, but they reached an agreement to join forces and eliminate the Dark Crow Demon General, the biggest obstacle in their way.

It doesn’t sound good for human cultivators to collude with demonic beasts, and it cannot be widely publicized. However, in reality, many righteous sects and cultivators have not only colluded with demonic beasts but also with Ghost Path cultivators for their own interests. Colluding with enemies or outsiders for the sake of interests is not a big deal.

Moreover, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Northern Desert Qi Family colluding with the Lion Demon General did not betray the interests of human cultivators but focused on the Dark Crow Demon General.

Meng Zhang was not a stubborn person, and it was not a bad thing to join forces with the Lion Demon General to eliminate the Dark Crow Demon General. After all, weakening the strength of the demonic beasts was something they could do.

Meng Zhang did not care about the Northern Desert Qi Family colluding with the Lion Demon General. However, the fact that the Qi Family did this behind the backs of the Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect made Meng Zhang more wary of them.

Only after the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Qi Family convinced Meng Zhang did they take Meng Zhang with them to meet the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect.
