Sect Master’s Immortal Journey - Chapter 518: Rubber

Fei ShiDaoist Master was also helpless and could only accept the current situation. It’s better to neither win nor lose than to suffer a great defeat. With this thought in mind, Fei ShiDaoist Master temporarily suppressed his burning desire for revenge. He put aside his dissatisfaction and focused on maintaining the current state of the battle.

The three Gold Core Daoist Masters from Fire Cloud Sect had a strong desire to win, but being weaker than their opponents, they were already giving their all just to maintain a stalemate. Whenever they made a move to overpower the Flying Swan Sect, Meng Zhang and Qi NanfeiDaoist Master would also act in unison to maintain the balance of the battle. When they became exhausted and started to recover their strength, Meng Zhang and Qi NanfeiDaoist Master would ease their efforts, pretending to be unable to keep up.

Due to the hidden intentions of Meng Zhang and Qi NanfeiDaoist Master, the aerial battle reached a stalemate. On the ground, the cultivator armies of Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect joined forces to resist the cultivator army of Fire Cloud Sect.

Wen Qiansun, as the most outstanding Formation Master of Taiyi Sect, was responsible for commanding the deployment of Taiyi Sect’s cultivators. Before the start of the war, Meng Zhang had specifically entrusted him with the task. The main objective of this battle was not to seek victory but to preserve their strength and protect the lives of their own cultivators.

Other forces from the Hanhai Alliance also dispatched a large number of cultivators to form an army formation. They moved alongside the Taiyi Sect’s Yin-Yang Reversal Formation, coordinating their actions with Taiyi Sect’s cultivators.

The cultivators of Flying Swan Sect and Fire Cloud Sect were bitter enemies, and their rivalry was intense. Without any need for mobilization or wasted words, as soon as the battle began, both sides’ cultivators immediately fought desperately.

However, despite their deep hatred, neither side lost their rationality or became disoriented. In such a large-scale battle, individual cultivator strength was severely suppressed, and cooperation and reliance on the power of formations were necessary to determine the outcome.

The Four Directions Subduing Mountain Formation and the Fire Cloud Formation collided and clashed incessantly, resulting in casualties within the formations.

Fire Cloud Sect’s strength was originally superior to that of Flying Swan Sect. Even if Flying Swan Sect was at its peak, it would have been difficult to withstand the cultivator army of Fire Cloud Sect, let alone now when they had suffered multiple losses. Flying Swan Sect had exhausted all its resources to assemble the seemingly formidable cultivator army before them. However, after a fierce battle, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Fortunately, the cultivators of Taiyi Sect were there to assist them. Wen Qiansun commanded the Taiyi Sect cultivators to launch attacks from the side, playing a significant role in restraining Fire Cloud Sect’s cultivators. This helped alleviate a great deal of pressure on Flying Swan Sect.

The miscellaneous army formed by the members of the Hanhai Alliance, following the movements of Taiyi Sect’s cultivator army, did not contribute much. Those cultivators who had sided with Fire Cloud Sect, after being scattered by the Flying Swan Sect’s army, reluctantly regrouped under the strong orders of a few Fire Cloud Sect cultivators. Although these cultivators lacked any fighting spirit and couldn’t make much of an impact in direct combat, they could harass Flying Swan Sect from the sidelines.

While commanding the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation of Taiyi Sect, Wen Qiansun also kept a close eye on the changes in the overall battle situation and immediately noticed the movements on that side.

The allied army of the Hanhai Alliance, on the other hand, was somewhat obstructive and not very effective. The one commanding this allied army was Qiaoshou Sect Master Jin Qigu. Jin Qigu himself was highly capable and had great tact. Previously, he had commanded this army with precision and flexibility.However, when facing a powerful sect like Fire Cloud Sect, not only other forces, but even Jin Qigu himself felt a bit uneasy. Therefore, his performance before the battle was not good, which greatly disappointed Wen Qiansun.

Seeing the enemy regrouping not far away, Wen Qiansun simply ordered Jin Qigu to lead the allied forces of the Hanhai Alliance to attack the cannon fodder of Fire Cloud Sect.

After receiving the order, everyone, including Jin Qigu, breathed a sigh of relief. They faced Fire Cloud Sect with insufficient confidence and had no pressure against this group of makeshift cannon fodder.

Although they had fewer numbers and were overall weaker, their high morale drove them to actively engage their opponents.

It felt like a match between equals, with miscellaneous troops against miscellaneous troops, cannon fodder against cannon fodder.

The battle between them was lively and intense, with a lot of action but few casualties.

The Hanhai Alliance was essentially under the control of Taiyi Sect, and the other forces within the alliance were subordinate to Taiyi Sect.

How could they be expected to sacrifice themselves for Taiyi Sect without considering their own losses? It was possible to fight a relatively easy battle, but if they were forced to fight desperately, it would be a different story.

Their opponents, those who were originally affiliated with Flying Swan Sect but were now forced to join Fire Cloud Sect, had even less fighting spirit.

Even when the commanding Fire Cloud Sect cultivators scolded them, they still put on a show without putting in much effort.

Speaking of which, they were all cultivation forces within the Endless Sea of Sand, and there were some connections and familiar faces among them.

During the battle, some daring individuals secretly communicated with the enemy, trying to establish relationships and gain some leniency from the opposing side.

In this way, the battle was divided into three fronts, each with different performances.

The most intense battle took place on the front where the seven Gold Core Daoist Masters were fighting, yet there had been no casualties.

The most devastating casualties occurred on the front where the cultivator armies of Flying Swan Sect and Fire Cloud Sect clashed.

After a fierce battle, both Flying Swan Sect and Fire Cloud Sect suffered heavy losses, and even Taiyi Sect, which was conducting a diversionary attack on the side, also experienced significant casualties.

Wen Qiansun, who was in charge of commanding the operation, naturally felt heartbroken about the casualties among his fellow sect members. However, he knew that these losses were unavoidable.

Only through repeated battles and tempering could the cultivators of Taiyi Sect grow into seasoned warriors.

On the other hand, the third front, which was the most lively, had minimal casualties.

The battle lasted for a full day and night.

The cultivators of the Hanhai Alliance and their opponents were exhausted and unable to continue fighting.

They engaged in lackluster skirmishes, and many even stopped pretending and found a place to meditate and recover.

After fighting for so long, the enthusiasm of the cultivator armies of Flying Swan Sect and Fire Cloud Sect had diminished, and the frequency of their attacks decreased, with longer intervals between each assault.

The seven Gold Core Daoist Masters in the sky showed no signs of fatigue and continued to fight with high spirits. For Gold Core Daoist Masters, such battles could last for ten days or even longer without feeling the slightest exhaustion.

The battles on the two fronts on the ground began to conclude as everyone sounded the retreat and prepared to regroup and rest before continuing the fight.

The seven Gold Core Daoist Masters remained unaffected by the outside world and continued to fight at their original pace, with no sign of the battle ending in the near future.
