Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 474: Three Battlefields

The two Third Rank warships of the Flying Swan Sect charged directly at the incoming sand monster army. Even before they got close, the warships fired beams of light, relentlessly bombarding the sand monster army.

These Third Rank warships not only had the capability to transport, but they were also powerful in combat. In terms of sheer killing power, they were not much weaker than ordinary Gold Core cultivators.

Daoist Master Fei Yu and Daoist Master Fei Jiang stood at the forefront of the Flying Swan Sect fleet, commanding the Flying Swan Sect cultivators to form a defensive formation against the sand monster army’s attack.

The sand monster army was not only numerous, but it also had two Third Rank sand monsters. In terms of combat strength, they were not necessarily weaker than the army of the Flying Swan Sect cultivators.

The Flying Swan Sect cultivators, with their rich experience in fighting against sand monsters, fought back with orderly coordination under the leadership of the two Gold Core Daoist Masters, engaging in fierce battle with the sand monster army.

As the Flying Swan Sect cultivators battled the sand monsters, they were unable to provide support to the Taiyi Sect. Now, the Taiyi Sect had to rely solely on its own strength to face the powerful enemy in front of them.

The monster army was taken aback when they first saw the sand monster army appear. After all, sand monsters were not only the archenemies of humans, but they would also not show any mercy when dealing with other monsters.

Fortunately, the sand monster army was still some distance away from the Taiyi Sect, and they were preoccupied in a fierce battle with the Flying Swan Sect cultivators, preventing the disturbance among the monster army from turning into chaos.

Lion Demon General saw this and secretly rejoiced at his foresight. In the Deadly Sea of Sand, there were indeed many sand monsters, but they generally did not enter the Endless Sea of Sand and Demon Wind Gobi.

Lion Demon General paid a significant price to convince the Fifth Rank great power to dispatch this sand monster army to the Demon Wind Gobi. The Fifth Rank great power specifically instructed it not to bring the sand monster army into the Endless Sea of Sand and only use it within the Demon Wind Gobi.

To avoid causing confusion among his monster army, Lion Demon General made sure to keep the sand monster army at a considerable distance behind the monster army.

Now it seemed that Lion Demon General’s decision was correct. The negative impact caused by the sand monster army on the monster army was beyond its imagination. Moreover, the sand monster army, acting as a surprise attack, conveniently blocked the Flying Swan Sect’s army of cultivators.

Taiyi Sect, as a newly rising sect, faced a severe test as it confronted the monster army led by Lion Demon General.

At this moment, Meng Zhang no longer expected any support from the Flying Swan Sect. Even if they could eliminate the sand monster army, there might not be much strength left in the Flying Swan Sect.

Meng Zhang utilized the power of the formation to unleash the Strange and Upright Sword Art to its fullest, continuously reducing the number of vultures they faced.

As for the cultivators of Taiyi Sect, whether they were disciples of the sect or cultivators from other allied forces, they all displayed their true abilities, giving their all in the bloody battle against the monster army.

Especially the Guardian Spirit General, Deep EarthSpirit General, as well as Wen Qiansun, Yang Xueyi, and Jin Qiao’er, these Foundation Building cultivators played pivotal roles, using their controlled formations to firmly hold back the monster army.

Although the monster army was vast, the gains they achieved after their frenzied attacks were meager.

Instead, the monster army itself suffered heavy casualties, leaving the ground littered with monster corpses. If it weren’t for the overwhelming number of the monster army, the Taiyi Sect side might have started to turn the tide. Both the Taiyi Sect and the Flying Swan Sect were able to attack and defend against their respective opponents, putting up a colorful fight.

However, the situation at the Northern Desert Qi Family was very dire. The two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Northern Desert Qi Family, relying on their treasures, barely managed to temporarily hold off Dark Crow Demon General. The immense pressure could crush them at any moment. The Qi Family’s army of cultivators was numerous and well-trained, and under the leadership of elite members of the family, they were locked in a fierce battle with the dark crow tribe.

Qi Family’s cultivators believed that the reinforcements from Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect could come to support them at any time, so their morale was high, and they displayed formidable combat strength. However, as time passed, the reinforcements from Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect failed to appear, leaving some of the Qi Family cultivators perplexed while Qi Nanfei, a Daoist Master, started to feel uneasy.

The flying fleets of Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect were not too far from their location, yet they had not shown up. Either they encountered some accident, or the two sects had ill intentions and deliberately consumed Qi Family’s strength. Regardless of which situation it was, it was disastrous for the Qi Family.

At this critical moment, if Qi Nanfei, a Daoist Master, was willing to pay some price, there was still a chance for a complete retreat. Of course, it meant abandoning the army of cultivators who were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the dark crow tribe.

These cultivators were not only blood relatives of the two Gold Core Daoist Masters but also included direct descendants and the elite of the next generation of the Northern Desert Qi Family, representing the hope for the family’s future. Losing all of them here would leave the Northern Desert Qi Family without elites and successors. Such a loss would be difficult to make up for even in the next 100-200 years.

Both of the Gold Core Daoist Masters couldn’t bear to abandon them and escape just for the sake of their own lives. Moreover, the current situation was unclear, and perhaps the Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect were only temporarily delayed, and the situation might not be as bad as imagined. Their mentality of relying on luck made them miss the last chance for a complete retreat.

Not long after, Poison Sand Demon General led a large monster army to kill from afar. Poison Sand Demon General was still recovering from the heavy injuries inflicted by Lion Demon General last time and could not unleash even half of its combat power. The main force of its monster army was the poisonous sand lizard tribe.

The poisonous sand lizard tribe also suffered heavy losses in the battle with Lion Demon General, and even with some subdued monster tribes, their combat strength was not very strong. However, Poison Sand Demon General leading such a force became a significant weight on the balance of victory.

Now, not to mention the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Qi Family, even the Qi Family’s army of cultivators started to fall behind. Qi Nanfei, a Daoist Master, had already sent out two message flying swords, but there was no response. As the current battlefield situation was about to collapse, with no other options, he sent out a third message flying sword. Helplessly, despite their reluctance, they had to pin their hopes on the Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect.

This time, Qi Nanfei, a Daoist Master, didn’t have to wait long and received a message from Daoist Master Fei Yu, which utterly plunged the two Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Qi Family into despair. The Flying Swan Sect cultivators were entangled by the sand monster army and temporarily unable to break free. The Taiyi Sect cultivators were even more surrounded by the monster army led by Lion Demon General and unable to break out. Both the Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect were struggling to protect themselves, let alone support the Qi Family. The Qi Family could only fight on their own and face Dark Crow Demon General alone.
