Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 544: Advances

When Meng Zhang first dealt with Ye Feifan, he mentioned that Huang Tannian, the Gold Core ancestor of the Huang Family, had suffered a setback in his cultivation, leaving half of his body paralyzed and unable to move freely. He could only meditate in seclusion in his cave for long periods of time.

However, now Huang Tannian, the Gold Core ancestor of the Huang Family, appears before Meng Zhang without any signs of discomfort, full of vitality. Huang Tannian did not come alone; he brought an army of over five hundred cultivators, who arrived at Tigerwolf Market on flying boats.

Among the many cultivation families in Great Wind City, Lu Family and Gu Yue Family are the most powerful and prestigious, surpassing other cultivation families in both strength and reputation. Lu Family and Gu Yue Family have multiple Gold Core Daoist Masters, while other families generally only have 1-2 Gold Core Daoist Masters, and their Gold Core Daoist Masters occasionally experience cultivation disruptions.

After learning about the situation in Great Wind City, Meng Zhang had some malicious speculations. Lu Family and Gu Yue Family might have secretly employed some means to suppress other cultivation families, ensuring that their own strength remains within a certain range without affecting the status of Lu Family and Gu Yue Family.

The specific relationships between the cultivation families in Great Wind City are limited to outsiders' knowledge, and Meng Zhang can only make casual guesses.

Huang Tannian, the only Gold Core Daoist Master of the Huang Family, usually stays in seclusion and rarely leaves the family. It is truly unexpected that he personally led the army to the Deadly Sea of Sand to suppress the ghost cultivators.

Even Jin Li, the Daoist Master who knows about the grudges between Ye Feifan and the Huang Family, thinks that Huang Tannian is making a big fuss over nothing. Only Meng Zhang has a faint idea of what is going on, but no one has been informed.

After the Huang Family's troops arrived, as the host, Meng Zhang inevitably had to come forward and greet them. With the four forces gathered in Tigerwolf Market, countless cultivators crowded the place. The Gold Core Daoist Masters of the four forces found a quiet place and gathered together to discuss the upcoming battle.

Jin Li, the commanding Daoist Master, had not appeared, and the expected reinforcements from the Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch and Crane Song Sect had also not arrived. Meng Zhang and others began to suspect that True Monarch Mountain Peak might have deceived them.

Without the appearance of the reinforcements from True Monarch Mountain Peak, there was no guarantee that the joint forces of the four factions could complete the task of sweeping the Deadly Sea of Sand. Just as everyone was suspicious, Jin Li, who had been absent for a long time, finally appeared.

Jin Li, with a grim face, was filled with uncontrollable anger. She told everyone that there was no need to wait for reinforcements anymore because they had already set off.

Several days ago, the army of cultivators led by True Monarch Mountain Peak himself had boldly entered the Deadly Sea of Sand from the border between the Jiuqu League and the Deadly Sea of Sand. After hearing Jin Li's words, everyone's expressions became subtle. They could roughly guess the situation.

Although True Monarch Tian Zhu ordered Jin Li to command and lead the joint forces of several factions, True Monarch Mountain Peak, as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, would never willingly be commanded by Jin Li.

True Monarch Mountain Peak might not openly defy True Monarch Tian Zhu's intentions, so he simply led his army from a completely different direction and directly entered the Deadly Sea of Sand, avoiding Jin Li.

The Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch and Crane Song Sect, being under the command of True Monarch Mountain Peak, naturally followed his orders and paid no attention to Jin Li. In fact, even True Monarch Tian Zhu could not directly command the Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch faction; he needed to control them through True Monarch Mountain Peak.

Now that True Monarch Mountain Peak did not listen to Jin Li, she had no choice. She would not go to True Monarch Tian Zhu and complain. After all, she was a Gold Core Daoist Master and could not afford to lose face.

Jin Li, who had probably been mistreated by True Monarch Mountain Peak, seemed ready to explode in front of everyone. Including Meng Zhang, everyone knew that they must not provoke Jin Li at this time, so they all behaved obediently and honestly. Jin Li gave orders without any politeness and began to march and deploy the troops.

Huang Tannian, as a guest, should not have been under Jin Li's command. However, facing an angry Gold Core completion expert, Huang Tannian, who was only at the early stage of Gold Core cultivation, could not summon the courage to oppose her. After explaining her battle plan and specific arrangements, Jin Li did not waste any more words and left in anger.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters exchanged glances and left without saying much, returning to their respective teams to make arrangements.

Shortly after Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi returned to the Taiyi Sect's team, Jin Li, the Daoist Master, came to visit them. Jin Li did not treat Meng Zhang as an outsider and, in front of Meng Zhang, no longer suppressed her temper and began to angrily criticize True Monarch Mountain Peak.

Speaking of age, True Monarch Mountain Peak is not necessarily much older than Jin Li. They can be considered cultivators of the same generation.

However, True Monarch Mountain Peak took a step ahead on the path of cultivation and became a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, naturally able to easily suppress Jin Li. Jin Li did not hide anything from Meng Zhang and poured out her grievances.

After accepting True Monarch Tian Zhu's command, she had been running around, focusing on preparing for the sweep of the Deadly Sea of Sand. She had visited the Jiuqu League several times to pay a visit to True Monarch Mountain Peak, but had never seen the other party.

Every time, she was received by the younger cultivators of the Mountain Branch, and their attitude was neither warm nor cold, far from respectful.

Jin Li had always endured it, as long as she could complete the task entrusted by True Monarch Tian Zhu, these were all trivial matters. But this time, True Monarch Mountain Peak's actions were truly excessive.

He actually treated Jin Li as if she were nothing and acted on his own. Jin Li not only lost face but also lost the opportunity to command the reinforcements. The army under her command was limited in strength, and they would definitely face many difficulties once they entered the Deadly Sea of Sand. Jin Li complained, but she also had some admiration for True Monarch Mountain Peak's methods.

This time, not only did the Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch and Crane Song Sect join forces, but even the East River Branch, which had been subdued by the Mountain Branch, had to send an army of cultivators under the strong orders of True Monarch Mountain Peak to join the expedition.

True Monarch Mountain Peak's army, not to mention True Monarch Mountain Peak himself as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, far surpassed the army under Jin Li's command in strength.

Facing a somewhat frustrated Jin Li, Meng Zhang comforted her and spoke many kind words. Regardless of True Monarch Mountain Peak's attitude, he was still an ally now. His army of cultivators was also working hard to sweep the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Moreover, that army had taken the lead, with great momentum, and would likely attract the main attention of the sand monsters in the Deadly Sea of Sand. The armies of Taiyi Sect and other factions could take advantage of this and save a lot of effort.
