Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 451: Gold Core from Exploding

The land here is vast, and without any obvious clues, even a Gold Core Daoist Master would find it difficult to search the surroundings and find valuable targets in a short time. Among the several teams that entered here, besides the Flying Swan Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect, the Golden Tiger Demon General is the most familiar with this place.

The previous owner of Golden Tiger was a highly influential elder in the Purple Gold Sect. As a spirit pet greatly trusted and cherished by its master, Golden Tiger knew many secrets that only the high-ranking members of the Purple Gold Sect were aware of, such as the Great Void Restriction and the small world of the Purple Gold Sect. For many years, Golden Tiger had sent human cultivators under its control to explore almost the entire Endless Sea of Sand, discovering many important nodes of the Great Void Restriction. Unfortunately, with its abilities, it was unable to activate the great formation and open the passage to the small world.

However, after being aware of the significant movements of the Taiyi Sect and the Flying Swan Sect, Golden Tiger persuaded the Dark Crow Demon General, paying a considerable price, to help them. Together with the Earth Fox Demon General, who had always been coerced, they formed a team with considerable strength.

Though they were slightly delayed on their way due to some unexpected events, they quickly caught up with the two Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect upon entering. Daoist Master Fei Yu and Daoist Master Fei Jiang had targeted a very important inheritance of the Purple Gold Sect. In that location, there were arrangements personally left behind by the Purple Gold Sect's Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

Meanwhile, Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame were heading towards another target. As they had just landed near a small mountain, they were immediately surrounded by a group of demons lurking in the vicinity. Easily dispersing the demons around them, they walked towards the front of the small mountain.

The mountain wall had many caves carved into it, and there were signs of human activity around the small mountain. They carefully searched the caves, only finding a pile of bones and some ordinary storage bags. This small world transformed by the predecessors of the Purple Gold Sect had an extremely harsh living environment. Even Refining Qi stage cultivators could not survive here for an extended period, let alone ordinary mortals. In the past, Foundation Building stage cultivators from the Purple Gold Sect resided here, taking care of this newborn microcosm. However, due to the catastrophic events that befell the Purple Gold Sect, these Foundation Building cultivators were eventually forgotten and left behind here, unable to leave and left to wither away over the centuries.

The belongings left behind by a group of Foundation Building cultivators were of no interest to the two Gold Core Daoist Masters. Feeling disappointed, Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame prepared to search for the next target.

Meng Zhang and the other two relied on Luo Ye Daoist Master's treasure to remain concealed. As long as they didn't act on their own initiative, they wouldn't expose their tracks. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side. They were originally quietly monitoring from high above when suddenly a large group of demonic birds flew from afar, covering the sky and nearly filling the entire sky, directly sweeping them into the flock of demonic birds. Colliding with such a tightly arranged group of demonic birds, they inadvertently revealed a flaw and exposed their tracks.

Daoist Master Dark Flame, who was highly vigilant, immediately noticed the three of them. Meng Zhang reacted most decisively.

"Kill them and take their loot."

Upon hearing Meng Zhang's voice, Luo Ye Daoist Master and Gu Yue Huaidie followed him in their attack. As for the group of wicked demonic birds, with a casual wave of their hands, they stirred up a gust of wind that swept countless demonic birds into it, causing them to crash and bleed inside. Fire Cloud Sect and Great Wind City had been old neighbors for many years, and Daoist Master Angry Flame immediately recognized Gu Yue Huaidie.

"Gu Yue Family, are you also getting involved in this mess?" he questioned.

Gu Yue Huaidie ignored him and made a killing move. Although the Gu Yue Family didn't fear Fire Cloud Sect, she didn't want her personal actions to create a major enemy for the family. With things having reached this point, they naturally had to kill to obtain the treasures and silence the witnesses.

Meng Zhang activated the Shadow Killing Sword and directly displayed the Lifeless Killing Sword. In what seemed like a simple sword move, there was boundless murderous intent concealed within.

Similarly, Luo Ye Daoist Master also wielded a Shadow Killing Sword but used a completely different set of sword techniques. Taking advantage of the cover of shadows on the ground, the Shadow Killing Sword silently leaped within it. It would suddenly disappear and then reappear, launching exceptionally sinister attacks each time.

Though Meng Zhang hadn't been a core for a long time, their combat power was not weak and could rival these veteran Gold Core Daoist Masters. Luo Ye Daoist Master was especially proficient in assassination techniques, and each strike aimed directly at the opponent's weakness, making them unable to defend themselves. Gu Yue Huaidie was a mid-level Gold Core cultivator, and even without the help of Meng Zhang and Luo Ye Daoist Master, she alone would be more than Daoist Master Dark Flame and Daoist Master Angry Flame could handle.

Although Gold Core Daoist Masters were resilient in surviving battles, defeating them was easier said than done. However, when there was a significant gap in strength, the fall of a Gold Core Daoist Master was inevitable.

After a bitter battle, Daoist Master Angry Flame died on the spot. Daoist Master Dark Flame, using the last counterattack of Daoist Master Angry Flame to find an opportunity, broke free from the fight and desperately fled the scene.

Meng Zhang and Luo Ye Daoist Master flew into the sky, closely pursuing him. After flying a distance, Gu Yue Huaidie, who had dealt with the battlefield, also caught up from behind.

Daoist Master Dark Flame might have a way to shake off Meng Zhang and Luo Ye Daoist Master, but there was absolutely no way to escape from the mid-level Gold Core Gu Yue Huaidie.

Looking at Gu Yue Huaidie's rapidly approaching figure, Daoist Master Dark Flame felt a sense of despair. Suddenly, three figures appeared from a distance, flying towards them.

Daoist Master Dark Flame knew that other Gold Core Daoist Masters would definitely enter this place. If he could use the incoming arrivals' power to stir things up, he might have a chance to escape.

But when he took a closer look, his face immediately filled with despair. The three individuals flying towards them were none other than Flying Swan Sect's Daoist Master Fei Yu and Daoist Master Fei Jiang, along with Northern Desert Qi Family's Qi Nanfei.

They seemed to be fleeing for their lives, desperately flying in their direction, unaware of the enemy pursuing them from behind.

Daoist Master Dark Flame didn't encounter meddlers but instead ran into enemies from the sect. What an unfortunate situation. Just then, Gu Yue Huaidie and the others also caught up from behind.

Knowing that he couldn't escape his fate, Daoist Master Dark Flame made a firm decision and reversed his True Essence, intending to self-destruct his Gold Core and take the enemies down with him.
