Chapter 548: Black Wind Grave
These Demonic Cultivation and sand monsters did not gather together but split into several different teams. Each team consists of several demonic cultivators, and among the three most powerful teams, there is a Third Rank sand monster in each. The Demonic Cultivation is responsible for command and flanking, while the Third Rank sand monster is responsible for frontal assaults. With their cooperation, they complement each other and can fully display their abilities.
These teams move mysteriously, constantly roaming nearby. Once they spot a lone team, they will immediately launch a frenzied attack. Jin Li, the Daoist Master, is a decisive person. As soon as she discovers the enemy's whereabouts, she leads his team to attack.
These Demonic Cultivation think they are hiding well and believe that the enemy will never find them. In the Cultivation World, Demonic Cultivation has been rampant for many years. Many sects and cultivators have devoted themselves to studying spells and magic tools to deal with Demonic Cultivation. Due to Jin Li's past experiences, she has had significant entanglements with Demonic Cultivation and naturally possesses many means to deal with them. The other Gold Core Daoist Masters also have some understanding of Demonic Cultivation. With prior preparation, they have an advantage in dealing with Demonic Cultivation.
When Jin Li and his team attacked, those Demonic Cultivation and sand monsters immediately fell into a siege. Despite the formidable methods of Demonic Cultivation, they are ultimately just a group of Foundation Building stage cultivators. The number of Third Rank sand monsters is too small to withstand the siege of so many Gold Core Daoist Masters. Moreover, to facilitate ambushes, the enemy has divided into several teams scattered in different locations, giving Jin Li the opportunity to defeat them one by one. After a series of efforts, none of these teams escaped and were all completely wiped out.
Eliminating the hidden enemies finally removed a major threat. The seven Gold Core Daoist Masters returned and once again led their respective teams to continue clearing out the sand monster nests hidden underground. This time, with the lessons learned from the previous encounter, the four armies of cultivators proceeded with greater caution. With Jin Li's strict orders, they increased their mutual support, whether they liked it or not. Jin Li himself personally patrolled the surroundings to prevent another surprise attack.
After experiencing this, it seems that the sand monsters and Demonic Cultivation have run out of tricks and no longer take any action. The four armies of cultivators advanced together, continuing to sweep through the Deadly Sea of Sand. Their progress was smooth, and they no longer encountered strong obstacles. The teams composed of low-level sand monsters were no match for the cultivator army. Even without the intervention of the Gold Core Daoist Masters, their disciples alone could kill these sand monsters on the spot.
The army advanced, gradually delving deeper into the Deadly Sea of Sand and getting closer step by step to the core area. It didn't take long for the four armies to arrive near Black Wind Grave. This place used to be the stronghold of ghost cultivators, and the ghost cultivators of the Deadly Sea of Sand mainly gathered here. However, despite the cultivator army's journey, they hardly encountered any ghost cultivators along the way. Even when they arrived at the ghost cultivators' stronghold, they still didn't find any traces of them.
After Demonic Cultivation broke through Black Wind Grave, almost all the ghost cultivators were captured and this place was completely abandoned. Meng Zhang had only learned about what happened here from the captured ghost cultivators, so this was his first time coming to this place. Black Wind Grave is well-known in the Deadly Sea of Sand, and many cultivators have heard of it. Although ghost cultivators have a bad reputation in the Cultivation World, they can produce many valuable items. Jade Soul Fluid, which can repair Soul defects and enhance Soul power, is mostly made by ghost cultivators.
After arriving near Black Wind Grave, even though the place was completely abandoned, everyone conducted a careful search of the area inside and out. Since they encountered little resistance along the way and no enemies appeared in the vicinity, the Gold Core Daoist Masters allowed their cultivators to stay here and search slowly. Huang Family's cultivators were particularly meticulous in their search, almost turning every inch of land upside down. In their eagerness to claim certain areas, Huang Family's cultivators even clashed with cultivators from other factions.
Fortunately, Jin Li's authority prevented the conflict from escalating into a fight. Although Huang Family's strength is not particularly strong, as the main cultivation family of Great Wind City, they don't regardthe "sand bumpkins" of the Endless Sea of Sand with much respect. If it weren't for the insistence of the Huang Family Patriarch, Huang Tannian, the Huang Family would never have traveled such a long distance to participate in the extermination of the Deadly Sea of Sand. For Huang Family, clearing the Deadly Sea of Sand is a thankless task.However, as the only Gold Core Patriarch of the Huang Family, Huang Tannian's will cannot be disobeyed by anyone in the family. Since he insisted on coming to fight under the banner of righteousness and exterminate the ghost cultivators, no one in the family could oppose him.
The actions of Huang Family's cultivators were not well-received by the cultivators of the other factions. Even the cultivator families from Jiuqu League, who came from afar, found Huang Family's behavior distasteful. They didn't let go of even the slightest advantage.
Only Meng Zhang knew that Huang Family's cultivators were so interested in Black Wind Grave not because they sought the benefits left behind by the ghost cultivators, but because they were searching for clues related to Ye Feifan. Ye Feifan had colluded with the ghost cultivators and harmed the cultivators who entered the Deadly Sea of Sand. This was not a secret and had long been spread.
Therefore, Huang Family's cultivators hoped to find clues related to Ye Feifan in Black Wind Grave. Meng Zhang, who observed from the sidelines, did not remind Huang Family of this. Huang Family, as a cultivation family, was no different from others.
Huang Family's cultivators spent a lot of effort but did not find any valuable clues in Black Wind Grave. The army could not stay here indefinitely. After spending some time in Black Wind Grave, the four armies continued to advance.
The Deadly Sea of Sand is vast, and completely eradicating it is not an overnight task. The march and battles in the Deadly Sea of Sand have been quite costly. With so many cultivators, they require a huge amount of spiritual stones and pills every day, which is a burden for each faction.
Unfortunately, the battles in the Deadly Sea of Sand do not yield many spoils. Even if they discover precious mineral resources along the way, there is no time to mine them. As time goes on, frustration grows, and many cultivators harbor grievances and criticize True Monarch Tian Zhu.
However, faced with the lofty Primordial Spirit True Monarch, everyone dares not voice their anger. The cultivators from the four factions have become somewhat lax and lethargic, lacking motivation and energy.
