Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 562: New Situation

Qi Nanfei, who was commanding his clan members to start relocating, never expected that five Gold Core Daoist Masters would arrive so quickly and attack the mountain guarding formation outside the Qi Family gate without any hesitation.

Feeling unjust, Qi Nanfei had no knowledge that his two brothers from the Qi Family had dealt with True Monarch Tian Zhu. He thought that if True Monarch Tian Zhu sought revenge, he should first retaliate against the traitorous True Monarch Mountain Peak, right?

Having fled the battlefield early on, Qi Nanfei was completely unaware of what had happened afterwards. He only saw True Monarch Tian Zhu's overwhelming power, shattering the physical bodies of his Qi Family brothers.

Believing that the five Gold Core Daoist Masters were sent by True Monarch Tian Zhu to attack the Qi Family, Qi Nanfei had no fighting spirit. Facing them, he knew he couldn't resist and that the mountain guarding formation was not enough.

He struggled to maintain the formation, trying to block the enemy's attacks while constantly begging for mercy. He offered to make a solemn oath to serve True Monarch Tian Zhu faithfully from then on.

Meng Zhang wanted to save some energy, so he agreed to Qi Nanfei's plea, allowing him to release the formation and surrender voluntarily.

Qi Nanfei was clever when it came to matters of life and death. He insisted on sufficient guarantees from Meng Zhang before he would surrender.

Listening to Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei's banter, Jin LiDaoist Master had long grown impatient. With her cultivation base, she could break the guarding formation on her own, even without anyone's help.

Jin LiDaoist Master made her move, and the other four Gold Core Daoist Masters followed suit, launching a fierce attack. Despite Qi Nanfei's full effort to activate the formation, he couldn't stop the enemy's assault.

The five Gold Core Daoist Masters broke the guarding formation, stormed into the Qi Family gate, and not only killed Qi Nanfei on the spot but also slaughtered all the Qi Family members.

Jin LiDaoist Master, Meng Zhang, and Yang Xueyi had no interest in massacring the weak. However, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from Flying Swan Sect had no qualms and personally participated in the massacre.

Flying Swan Sect had already fallen to such a state that they had completely torn off the facade of a righteous sect. They had no more scruples in their actions and were no longer concerned with appearances.

Dustfall Mound was the most crucial location in the Qi Family's territory. Although the Qi Family territory was extremely poor, this Third Rank Spirit Vein in Dustfall Mound was very precious and could compensate for all the defects in their territory.

Meng Zhang didn't carefully assess the size and quality of this Third Rank Spirit Vein, but since it could support the cultivation of the Qi Family's Gold Core Daoist Masters for hundreds of years, it was likely not inferior to the one in Grand Lion Ridge.

Meng Zhang felt a bit envious and wanted to claim this place for himself. However, he knew that if he did so, it would certainly cause a complete rift with Flying Swan Sect, losing their only ally and offending Jin LiDaoist Master.

Given the current situation, Taiyi Sect truly needed Flying Swan Sect as an ally to help share the external pressure. At the same time, Flying Swan Sect also relied on Taiyi Sect to continue standing firm in the Endless Sea of Sand.

Having aided in breaking the Qi Family gate, Jin LiDaoist Master, Meng Zhang, and Yang Xueyi were entitled to compensation. Fei ShiDaoist Master generously opened the Qi Family treasury in front of everyone.

Qi Family had been a Gold Core family with a history of hundreds of years, so their treasury still contained valuable items despite their past struggles. However, Jin LiDaoist Master did not find anything valuable to her and said that everything should be used to rebuild Flying Swan Sect since they had lost their gate.

Meng Zhang also declined taking any spoils of war, only requesting copies of all the scriptures in the Qi Family's Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

Fei ShiDaoist Master didn't refuse this request and agreed readily. The five Gold Core Daoist Masters occupied the Qi Family gate, and soon, the cultivator army of Flying Swan Sect followed and settled in the area.

They had to rebuild the gate and clean up the surroundings, keeping the Flying Swan Sect cultivators busy.

Meanwhile, the Taiyi Sect cultivator army, led by Niu Dawei, returned directly to Grand Lion Ridge. After obtaining what he wanted, Meng Zhang prepared to leave with Yang Xueyi.

Meng Zhang knew that if he carefully searched the Qi Family gate, there would probably be more spoils of war. However, under the current circumstances, it was not appropriate to compete with Flying Swan Sect. Moreover, Flying Swan Sect was currently in dire straits and needed time to recover.

Before leaving, Jin LiDaoist Master organized a few Gold Core Daoist Masters to make a solemn pledge that the fate of True Monarch Tian Zhu must not be leaked to the outside. At most, only the trusted high-level members or close disciples of their respective sects should be informed.

Everyone sincerely wished to keep the news of True Monarch Tian Zhu's death a secret, as it was in everyone's interest.

After making the oath, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from Flying Swan Sect stayed behind to arrange the disciples, while Jin LiDaoist Master and Meng Zhang left together.

On their way back, when they were close to Grand Lion Ridge, Jin LiDaoist Master and Meng Zhang parted ways. Before they separated, Jin LiDaoist Master told Meng Zhang that she would have an important matter to discuss with him later.

Upon their return to Grand Lion Ridge, the cultivator army had already arrived at the sect gate. Wen Qiansun and Delicate WaterSpirit General, who had been guarding the gate, came out to greet Sect Master Meng Zhang and reported everything that had happened within the sect in the past few years.

Even while the army was away, Meng Zhang had maintained contact with the sect and was relatively informed about the various situations. He was also reassured about the high-level members who remained in the sect.

He mainly inquired about the current situation in the Endless Sea of Sand.

Since the joint invasion of Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch, Taiyi Sect's Secret Hall had been closely monitoring the enemy's movements. The two sects' alliance had seized all of Flying Swan Sect's territories, occupying most of the Endless Sea of Sand.

Due to Taiyi Sect's display of formidable strength, the allied forces did not dare to invade Taiyi Sect's territory easily. Fire Cloud Sect, learning from their previous failed invasion, first cleared the surrounding areas and eradicated the remnants of Flying Swan Sect, even ruthlessly attacking those who were formerly affiliated with Flying Swan Sect, not accepting their surrender.

Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch did not participate in the cleansing but focused on plundering war spoils and various cultivation resources. These individuals were like a pack of ferocious wolves, lacking any scruples in their actions.
