Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 585: The crisis arrives

Around the outskirts of the Deadly Sea of Sand, there are often Gold Core Daoist Masters wandering, constantly monitoring the situation inside.

A long time ago, both True Monarch Mountain Peak and True Monarch Profound Wind ordered their subordinate Gold Core Daoist Masters to explore the Deadly Sea of Sand. However, these Daoist Masters feared the remnants of the Grand Dao's power and didn't dare to approach too closely. But if they were to return without reporting back, it would anger the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

As a result, these Gold Core Daoist Masters mostly patrol the area near the Deadly Sea of Sand, appearing busy and diligent while doing little actual work.

When True Monarch Thousand Shadow arrived at the Deadly Sea of Sand, some Gold Core Daoist Masters had already spotted him. True Monarch Thousand Shadow did not conceal his Cultivation Base, and his aura as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch was awe-inspiring. These Gold Core Daoist Masters didn't dare to disturb a Primordial Spirit True Monarch of unknown origin.

True Monarch Thousand Shadow dispersed the Grand Dao's power, creating a safe passage, and proceeded in and out securely, catching the attention of these Daoist Masters.

True Monarch Thousand Shadow's actions were open and straightforward, without any intention of hiding his tracks.

After True Monarch Thousand Shadow left, some daring Gold Core Daoist Masters followed his route and successfully avoided the remnants of the Grand Dao's power, entering the core area of the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Upon entering, they were met with an obvious sign of the Dao's disappearance.

With their intelligence and some gathered information, it was not difficult for these Gold Core Daoist Masters to deduce the truth: True Monarch Tian Zhu and the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit had perished.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters on the outskirts of the Deadly Sea of Sand had a significant responsibility. Figures like Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect's Gold Core cultivators had previously patrolled nearby, intentionally avoiding each other, and thus, there were no conflicts.

Now that they discovered the true situation of True Monarch Tian Zhu, they had finally accomplished their mission.

Soon, this news spread through various channels and quickly reached True Monarch Profound Wind and True Monarch Mountain Peak.

They carefully interrogated their Gold Core Daoist Masters, making sure this was not a ploy by True Monarch Tian Zhu to lure them.

A few days later, True Monarch Profound Wind and True Monarch Mountain Peak joined forces and came to the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Boldly, the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs entered the core of the Deadly Sea of Sand and easily found the sign of the Dao's disappearance.

The sign of the Dao's disappearance couldn't be faked. True Monarch Tian Zhu had not played any tricks; he had genuinely perished, and the Dao had vanished.

Both Primordial Spirit True Monarchs felt uncontrollable joy rising in their hearts.

Especially for True Monarch Mountain Peak, who had betrayed his former allegiance and knew the methods of True Monarch Tian Zhu, he had carried a great burden on his heart for years, fearing retaliation.

Now that they confirmed True Monarch Tian Zhu's demise, it was as if a massive mountain had been lifted from his heart, and he felt much relieved.

On the other hand, True Monarch Profound Wind first experienced bursts of delight, followed by an uncontrollable sense of confusion and loss.

This long-standing archenemy, whom he had loathed for years, the enemy whom all his schemes and efforts couldn't overcome, had fallen just like that.

For a moment, True Monarch Profound Wind felt a sense of emptiness and didn't know what to say.

Both Primordial Spirit True Monarchs remained silent for a while, then exchanged a look.

Regardless of how True Monarch Tian Zhu had met his end, they had achieved their goal. With no obstruction from True Monarch Tian Zhu, they could now act as they pleased and do as they wished.

As for the events that followed, such as the ownership of the Endless Sea of Sand and the presence of Taiyi Sect, Flying Swan Sect, and others, they were considered trivial matters in the eyes of the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

After staying here for half a day, the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs set out on their return journey and left the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Having learned of True Monarch Tian Zhu's fall, the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs acted without restraint.

On the Taiyi Sect's side, due to continuous frontline battles, the Gold Core Daoist Masters had to take turns monitoring, and for a moment, they didn't notice the changes in the Deadly Sea of Sand.

However, the Taiyi Sect's high-ranking members soon deduced the enemy's significant mobilization from the enemy's troop movements.

Considering that Flying Swan Sect's Gold Core strength was insufficient, with only Wu Mingwei holding the fort, Meng Zhang dispatched the sect's Deep Earth Spirit General and Delicate Water Spirit General to reinforce Flying Swan Sect.

The two Guardian Spirit Generals were among the most powerful Gold Core stage cultivators within Taiyi Sect, besides Meng Zhang himself. Their presence would allow Flying Swan Sect to hold on in case of a large-scale invasion, while they awaited Taiyi Sect's rescue.

Before they left, Meng Zhang specifically instructed them that if the enemy proved too strong, they should prioritize their own safety and not foolishly sacrifice themselves for Flying Swan Sect.

Following the departure of Deep Earth Spirit General and Delicate Water Spirit General, Meng Zhang began mobilizing Taiyi Sect, deploying their main force cultivators, and also recruiting numerous cultivators from the Hanhai Dao Alliance.

Meng Zhang, Yang Xueyi, Wen Qiansun, Jin Qiao'er, and the recently formed core, Hu Jing, all gathered on the frontline, ready to face any unforeseen circumstances.

The enemy didn't keep Meng Zhang waiting for long. The speed at which the Cultivation World mobilized their forces far exceeded that of mundane mortal armies.

In a short time, Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch launched a full-scale attack with all their might.

In the eyes of True Monarch Mountain Peak, both Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect were already nothing more than withered bones in the tomb, not worth much attention. He aimed to use this large-scale battle to weaken East River Branch and suppress their arrogance.

Under True Monarch Mountain Peak's orders, the East River Branch of Yellow Lotus Sect not only mobilized all their forces stationed in the Endless Sea of Sand but also transferred all the remaining forces at their sect to the Endless Sea of Sand.

The previous deceptive actions by Fire Cloud Sect and East River Branch hadn't escaped True Monarch Mountain Peak's scrutiny.

His attention had been focused on the life and death of True Monarch Tian Zhu before, so he hadn't bothered to deal with these guys slowly.

Now, he sent a group of cultivators from Yellow Lotus Sect's Mountain Branch to form a supervisory team and urge East River Branch and Fire Cloud Sect to engage in battle.

This time, they couldn't afford to be sneaky; they had to fully open the war and quickly eliminate Flying Swan Sect and Taiyi Sect.

Fire Cloud Sect was relatively better off since they had True Monarch Profound Wind's protection. As for the cultivators of East River Branch, no one cared about their life or death. It suited True Monarch Mountain Peak's intentions for them to perish in large numbers.

The will of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch could not be disobeyed, and even if Fire Cloud Sect and East River Branch were unwilling, they had to muster all their strength.

With significantly reinforced forces, the two allied sects advanced, one heading straight for Flying Swan Sect and the other blocking Taiyi Sect's cultivator army.

Taiyi Sect's high-ranking members had been closely monitoring the enemy's movements, so when the enemy initiated their attack, Taiyi Sect also gathered a considerable force of cultivators and set off to the battlefield.

Though unsure why the enemy had opened a full-scale war so early, Meng Zhang responded confidently and personally led Taiyi Sect's forces to the battle.

The cultivators from Fire Cloud Sect, backed by the support from East River Branch, actively sought out Taiyi Sect's army, trying to prevent them from reinforcing Flying Swan Sect.
