Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 472: Plan
In the sky, Qi Nanfei, a Gold Core Daoist Master, was suspended in mid-air, looking ahead without any distraction. On the ground, the Qi Family members had already formed a formation to face the swarming Dark Crow. As a Third Rank middle-grade demon beast, with the support of its tribe, the Dark Crow Demon General was invincible against only two Gold Core initial cultivators from the Qi Family.
However, as soon as they thought about the Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect teams not far behind them, they were filled with confidence in their victory. They only needed to delay for a little time until the reinforcements arrived, and then it would be a situation where the human Gold Core surrounded the Dark Crow Demon General.
The surging Dark Crow was only the first wave of attack. Behind it, Poison Sand Demon General led a large number of walking beasts, rushing towards them. The figure of the Dark Crow Demon General had already appeared in the eyes of the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family.
The Dark Crow Demon General did not appear alone. Behind it was a large group of dark crows. These dark crows were the elite selected from the thousands of dark crows under its command. Most demon beasts did not understand formations like humans, but the talent of demon beasts allowed them to gather the power of their tribes and exert an effect similar to formations.
With so many dark crows supporting the Dark Crow Demon General, it was extremely powerful and unstoppable as it rushed towards the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family. Qi Nanfei’s face changed slightly, as the strength of the Dark Crow Demon General was beyond their expectations. However, they were not too afraid.
For many years, the Northern Desert Qi Family had been rooted in the Endless Sea of Sand, serving Qi Mingyuan True Monarch, the head of the family. Naturally, they had also received the support of Qi Mingyuan True Monarch. Qi Nangui and Qi Nanfei Daoist Masters had protective items bestowed by the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, and they could fight against the Dark Crow Demon General.
The two of them looked at each other and took the initiative to meet the Dark Crow Demon General. When the Qi Family and the Dark Crow Demon General began to fight, the Flying Swan Sect’s fleet was not far away, at most a hundred miles away. As long as the fleet accelerated a little, it could arrive in a few moments.
Fei Jiang Daoist Master and Fei Yu Daoist Master voluntarily left their own team and went forward to investigate the situation ahead. When the Qi Family and the Dark Crow Demon General started fighting, instead of accelerating to support them, they stopped and silently observed.
After a while, when they confirmed that the Qi Family and the Dark Crow Demon General were entangled in battle and unable to escape in a short time, Fei Yu Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master turned and flew away without saying a word. Fei Yu Daoist Master sent a message sword to report the situation to Taiyi Sect in the rear.
When the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect and the sect’s fleet met, they immediately turned and flew towards the direction away from the battlefield at the command of the leader. In the Taiyi Sect fleet at the rear, Meng Zhang received Fei Yu Daoist Master’s message sword and immediately ordered the fleet to stop advancing and turn towards the direction of Grand Lion Ridge.
From beginning to end, it was Gu Yue Huaidie’s plan to prioritize the elimination of the Lion Demon General’s demon beast forces. This was the plan that best suited the interests of Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect. Both sects had experienced large-scale attacks by demon beasts, and the Flying Swan Sect and the Lion Demon General had a deep hatred between them. Without eliminating the Lion Demon General, neither the Flying Swan Sect nor the Taiyi Sect could rest assured, and the Flying Swan Sect could not focus on dealing with the threat of the Fire Cloud Sect.Although the Flying Swan Sect did not know why the Northern Desert Qi Family insisted on dealing with the Dark Crow Demon General first, and did not know that the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family wanted to seize the treasure left by the White Lion Demon King. However, the Flying Swan Sect naturally had to prioritize its own interests. Moreover, the Qi Family’s coveting of the White Lion Demon King’s legacy also revealed some clues. The Flying Swan Sect could not easily let the Qi Family get what they wanted.
Previously, the Flying Swan Sect temporarily joined forces with the Northern Desert Qi Family, which was forced by the situation, and neither side had much sincerity. When pursuing the Fire Cloud Sect cultivator army, the Northern Desert Qi Family almost blatantly let them go, which greatly angered the high-level members of the Flying Swan Sect. More than one Gold Core Daoist Master had the intention to kill them.
The Flying Swan Sect had ruled the Endless Sea of Sand for many years and had a deep foundation. Even if it had not been smooth sailing in recent years, its strength was still strong. If there was a choice between the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family, Meng Zhang would naturally choose the Flying Swan Sect.
Recently, when there was a dispute between the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family, although Meng Zhang did not show any inclination and only mediated, he had already sided with the Flying Swan Sect in his heart.
Gu Yue Huaidie was indeed worthy of being the strategist of a cultivation family like the Gu Yue Family, with many strategies and good at calculations. Within the Jiuqu League, many sects and families were not united, and internal struggles were also fierce. Even within Great Wind City, there were many hidden struggles between the Gu Yue Family and other families.
Compared with the struggles in the Jiuqu League, there were only a few Gold Core forces in the Endless Sea of Sand, and the situation was not too complicated. Gu Yue Huaidie was also very familiar with the situation in the Endless Sea of Sand and the Demon Wind Gobi.
With rich experience in struggles, Gu Yue Huaidie’s plan for Taiyi Sect could not only maximize Taiyi Sect’s interests but also had a high chance of success. Moreover, it also solved the problem of Luo Ye Daoist Master, killing two birds with one stone.
The plan was not complicated. Meng Zhang first secretly contacted the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Flying Swan Sect and reached an agreement with them. Then, when meeting with the Lion Demon General, he proposed to kill the Third Rank demon beast on the side of the Dark Crow Demon General. To gain trust, the Lion Demon General indeed put forward the Golden Tiger Demon General as the target.
Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect ambushed the Golden Tiger Demon General. The Northern Desert Qi Family and the Lion Demon General thought that they would target the Dark Crow Demon General next. Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect had already taken action, and if the Northern Desert Qi Family wanted to have a greater say in the distribution of the White Lion Demon King’s legacy after the war, they had to take the lead and act as the vanguard to attack the Dark Crow Demon General.
Now, the Northern Desert Qi Family had already engaged in a great battle with the Dark Crow Demon General. Once the battle started, it was not easy to stop or leave. Unless the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Qi Family were willing to abandon the Qi Family’s cultivator army and leave the battlefield alone, they would be unable to escape easily.
With the Qi Family entangled with the Dark Crow Demon General, the Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect could focus on dealing with the Lion Demon General. This time, the Qi Family had been calculated and had definitely offended the Flying Swan Sect. However, when the Taiyi Sect and other sects and families came together, they did not need to pay too much attention to the Qi Family’s thoughts.
Even if the Qi Family wanted revenge, they had to get through the current situation first. Taiyi Sect’s fleet accelerated and soon crossed a long distance, getting closer and closer to Grand Lion Ridge. At a distance from Grand Lion Ridge, Lion Demon General led a huge army of demon beasts and ran into Taiyi Sect’s fleet on their way to the Crow’s Nest.
