Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 517: Extremely undefeated
Under the strict orders of the Fire Cloud Sect, these recently joined forces have been mobilized, and all capable warriors from within the sect have been dispatched to the vicinity of Flying Swan City to receive orders.
These cultivators, with complex backgrounds, have low morale and no fighting spirit. Naturally, the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators do not trust them, nor do they value them. The Fire Cloud Sect cultivators have organized them into a servant army, intending to use them as cannon fodder to deplete the enemy’s strength on the battlefield.
These cultivators are not fools; they are well aware of their own fate but are powerless to resist. If they obediently follow orders and go to the battlefield, there may still be a glimmer of hope for survival. However, if they dare to disobey orders, the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators will immediately annihilate them. Not only will they face certain death, but their families and sects behind them will also be implicated.
In the Cultivation World, it is crucial to understand the current situation. The Fire Cloud Sect cultivators did not even need to resort to intimidation; these cultivators obediently followed orders, which saved the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators a lot of effort.
As a result, the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators easily manipulated them, driving these cannon fodder to the forefront. The Fire Cloud Sect cultivators then deployed their ultimate war formation, the Vast and Mighty Fire Cloud Formation.
The Flying Swan Sect’s Four Directions Subduing Mountain Formation and the Taiyi Sect’s Yin-Yang Rotation Formation easily broke through the loose formation of these cannon fodder cultivators and collided with the Vast and Mighty Fire Cloud Formation.
Formations composed of a large number of cultivators clashed and fought on the ground, with attacks and defenses exchanged.
In this kind of cultivator battle, it is essentially soldier against soldier, general against general.
Daoist Master Scarlet Flame of the Fire Cloud Sect, accompanied by Daoist Master Dark Cloud and Daoist Master Fiery Cloud, flew into the air and actively challenged the cultivators from the Flying Swan Sect.
Fei Shi Daoist Master and Wu Mingwei rushed forward without showing any weakness, displaying a fierce momentum.
Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei exchanged a helpless glance, knowing that they couldn’t retreat in this fight.
The two of them flew from different directions and joined the battle.
Seven Gold Core Daoist Masters split into two opposing camps and fought fiercely in the air.
The sky was filled with surging fire clouds, scorching waves, overflowing energy, and howling winds. Various spells were cast recklessly, and magic tools flew around.
The Flying Swan Sect had the advantage in numbers, and their four Gold Core Daoist Masters had decent combat strength. However, they were unable to gain the upper hand against the three Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Fire Cloud Sect who joined forces.
After fighting for half a day, neither side could gain the upper hand, and victory or defeat was impossible to determine.
As a Gold Core sect much stronger than the Flying Swan Sect, the Fire Cloud Sect has a more advanced sect inheritance and deeper foundation. The magic tools and talismans used by Daoist Master Scarlet Flame and the other two Gold Core Daoist Masters are all top-quality items.
The three of them displayed extremely strong combat power. Even though they were outnumbered, they fearlessly fought against the enemy and showed no signs of weakness.
Fei Shi Daoist Master and Wu Mingwei, not to mention Qi Nanfei Daoist Master, who comes from the Northern Desert Qi Family, a branch of the Qi Family, one of the major cultivation families in the Middle-Earth Continent. Even if they did not receive the true inheritance of their main family, they still possess an authentic and superior lineage.
Especially Meng Zhang, despite having formed his core not long ago, his combat power is unmatched among early-stage Gold Core cultivators.If Qi Nanfei Daoist Master and Meng Zhang were willing to wholeheartedly cooperate with the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect, the situation on the battlefield would have likely changed long ago.
Unfortunately, both of them were reluctant to participate in a battle that had little to do with their own sects. Even if they had to go to the battlefield due to the will of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, they had no intention of giving it their all.
With the assistance of Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei Daoist Master, the Flying Swan Sect would not be defeated. However, they also didn’t want the Flying Swan Sect to gain a complete advantage.
If they pushed the three Gold Core Daoist Masters of the Fire Cloud Sect to the brink, what would happen if they fought desperately? Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei Daoist Master were both pillars of their respective forces and couldn’t afford any mistakes.
They had no personal gain from helping the Flying Swan Sect, so there was no need to go all out. Even if they fought with all their might, the Flying Swan Sect might not appreciate their efforts.
The current situation, where neither side was winning or losing, was the best. If this kind of battle could continue indefinitely, it would be ideal.
Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei Daoist Master had this in mind and naturally didn’t reveal their trump cards, only using conventional methods against the enemy.
Of course, they were not completely idle. If they didn’t exert some effort, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect would not be able to withstand the opponents.
The seven Gold Core Daoist Masters fought fiercely in the air. The battle seemed intense, but there were no casualties or any side falling into a disadvantage.
Fei Shi Daoist Master and Wu Mingwei were not fools, especially Fei Shi Daoist Master, who was a mid-stage Gold Core cultivator. He had a keen eye and had long noticed that Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei Daoist Master had ulterior motives.
However, even if he noticed, what could he do? If they didn’t put in any effort or only put in a little, only they themselves could control it.
Fei Shi Daoist Master had secretly communicated with them a few times, urging them to use their true abilities and defeat the opponents as soon as possible.
Qi Nanfei Daoist Master couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to him and didn’t show him a good face.
Meng Zhang, on the other hand, gave him some face and explained with a somewhat aggrieved tone. He was young and had recently formed his core, so his strength was limited. The opponents were too strong, and even if he used all his abilities, this was the best he could do. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but he was simply incapable. He had already done his best, and there was nothing more he could do.
Meng Zhang’s explanation only fueled Fei Shi Daoist Master’s anger.
But with both Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei Daoist Master behaving this way, he had no better solution.
Everyone knew their true strength and how many trump cards they had, and only they themselves were aware of it. Even if Fei Shi Daoist Master had a good eye, he couldn’t grasp their weaknesses.
In fact, Fei Shi Daoist Master had to hide his dissatisfaction and couldn’t casually reprimand them.
Although Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei Daoist Master had to stand on the side of the Flying Swan Sect and assist them in battle due to the orders of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the Fire Cloud Sect also had the support of True Monarch Profound Wind.
Qi Nanfei might not dare to defy the orders of the Primordial Spirit True Monarch of the Qi Family, but Meng Zhang had fewer concerns. He had no loyalty towards either the Flying Swan Sect or True Monarch Tian Zhu.
If they provoked him, he could switch to the side of the Fire Cloud Sect and seek the protection of True Monarch Profound Wind. The balance of power would immediately reverse, and the situation would quickly deteriorate.
Fei Shi Daoist Master didn’t know Meng Zhang well enough and could only speculate with the worst intentions.
