Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 573: Intrusion

Under the leadership of Daoist Master Jin Li, Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect achieved a small victory and departed, leaving the cultivators of Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch to clean up the aftermath.

Given the strength of Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect, it's uncertain whether they can effectively defend such a large territory they have taken. It might be better to temporarily abandon it and leave it for later.

Among the territories they captured this time, Flying Swan Sect can abandon the others, but they are unwilling to easily give up the Yellow Sand Ridge, which was originally their mountain gate.

The area near Dustfall Mound is too barren, and even the Third Rank spirit vein within Dustfall Mound is too inferior, only enough for one Gold Core Daoist Master to cultivate. Compared to Yellow Sand Ridge, it's indeed much worse.

Considering Flying Swan Sect's current strength, they are unable to develop two distant territories simultaneously. So, according to Daoist Master Fei Shi's suggestion, the main force of Flying Swan Sect will temporarily abandon Dustfall Mound and return to Yellow Sand Ridge to settle down and fully guard their original mountain gate.

Flying Swan Sect won't easily give up Dustfall Mound either; instead, they will leave a small team of cultivators to guard it as an important outpost.

Meng Zhang instinctively feels that Daoist Master Fei Shi's decision is inappropriate. Dustfall Mound is located to the north of the Endless Sea of Sand, relatively closer to Demon Wind Gobi.

Demon Wind Gobi and Dustfall Mound are mutually supportive, and if one has trouble, the other can provide timely assistance. After the main force of Flying Swan Sect moves to Yellow Sand Ridge, they will lose this convenience.

Yellow Sand Ridge is southwest of the Endless Sea of Sand and lies between it and Demon Wind Gobi, separated by a vast area of the Endless Sea of Sand.

The two places are far apart, with a straight-line distance of over thousands of miles. It won't be easy for them to support each other in times of need and the reinforcements sent by one side can easily be intercepted by enemies on the way.

Meng Zhang tried to persuade Daoist Master Fei Shi, but instead of convincing him, Fei Shi accused Meng Zhang of having ulterior motives.

Given Flying Swan Sect's current situation, if they remain confined to Northern Desert, they can only barely survive and won't have the possibility of further development. The impoverished Northern Desert cannot support the growth of Flying Swan Sect, and it will only weaken over time.

Only by recapturing their original mountain gate, Yellow Sand Ridge, can Flying Swan Sect break free from the quagmire and gain a completely new space for development. Only then can they gradually recover their strength and hope to regain dominance over the Endless Sea of Sand.

From Taiyi Sect's perspective, they currently need Flying Swan Sect as an ally to help resist external pressure. However, they don't want Flying Swan Sect to regain their former strength and reassert their influence.

A weakened Flying Swan Sect aligns with Taiyi Sect's interests. As Taiyi Sect grows stronger, there's a possibility that Flying Swan Sect might eventually fall under Taiyi Sect's control and become their vassal.

Daoist Master Fei Shi, who thinks he has seen through everything, naturally does not want Taiyi Sect's plans to succeed and firmly rejects Meng Zhang's advice.

Meng Zhang had good intentions, but he was misunderstood by others. He is unable to do anything about it and decides to let Flying Swan Sect act as they please.

Daoist Master Jin Li will not bother with these trivial matters. What she values most now is how to enter the small world of Purple Gold Sect and kill the wisp of soul of True Monarch Vermilion.

The cultivators of Taiyi Sect who went out on an expedition gave up the recently occupied territory and returned to Demon Wind Gobi. Even the territory they originally had in the Endless Sea of Sand only left a small number of cultivators stationed there. The main forces of both Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Alliance concentrated on Demon Wind Gobi.

After recapturing Yellow Sand Ridge, Flying Swan Sect focused all their efforts on managing the area and its surroundings. Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch may have been truly intimidated this time and dare not underestimate the strength of Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect. Especially with Jin Li Daoist Master present, they wouldn't dare to provoke easily.

Jin Li Daoist Master is making final preparations to enter the small world of Purple Gold Sect. In the meantime, several Gold Core cultivators from the Lu Family in Great Wind City continue to bother her, but she drives them away in anger without causing serious harm.

Due to the disturbance, Jin Li Daoist Master becomes even more eager to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. Once she becomes a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, she won't believe that the people from the Lu Family would dare to continue bothering her.

After making the necessary preparations, Jin Li Daoist Master doesn't delay any further and calls on Meng Zhang and others to begin their action. On Taiyi Sect's side, Yang Xueyi remains to guard the sect, while Meng Zhang, Wen Qiansun, and Delicate Water Spirit General go together. On Flying Swan Sect's side, Wu Mingwei stays at Yellow Sand Ridge, and Daoist Master Fei Shi joins the group.

Facing the threat of strong enemies, they don't dare to be away for too long and must move quickly. In one night, Jin Li Daoist Master leads Meng Zhang and the other three Gold Core Daoist Masters and secretly arrives outside the Mirage Desert.

Last time, when Meng Zhang and others entered the small world of Purple Gold Sect, they needed to activate the Great Void Restriction nodes spread throughout the Endless Sea of Sand in advance. Then they sent disciples at the Refining Qi stage into the Mirage Secret Realm to stimulate the power of the great formation inside. Finally, Gu Yue Huaidie, who had the highest Cultivation Base at the time, activated the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart to forcefully open the passage.

This time, with Jin Li Daoist Master, a Gold Core completion expert, leading the team personally, they don't need to go through such trouble.

In fact, it has been several decades since the passage was opened last time. The power of True Monarch Vermilion's wisp of soul, which forcibly closed the Great Void Restriction, has weakened over time.

Jin Li Daoist Master had already investigated the situation here in the past and came up with a plan.

She took out the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart and with a wave of her hand, she and Meng Zhang and the others were all transported into the independent space within the chart.

The Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart transformed into a tornado of yellow sand with the faint figure of a girl in a yellow dress on its head.

Jin Li Daoist Master directed everyone to inject their True Essence into the chart.

The yellow tornado soared into the sky and crashed heavily towards the front.

The previously stable space seemed to be torn like a piece of paper, revealing a black crack.

The agile yellow tornado rolled over and smoothly entered the crack.
