ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey
When everyone discussed their strategy before the battle, they heard that the chances of winning against the Third Rank Monster Beast were very slim given the current situation. However, this judgnt didn't discourage anyone. Among the people present, except for Aunt Jin, the other cultivators were relatively young and had a competitive spirit.
Both Shocking ThunderSpirit General and Deep EarthSpirit General were forr Gold Core experts, and even though they had fallen from grace, they still carried so of their past arrogance. Facing a re Third Rank Monster Beast, they looked down on it psychologically.
Especially the young cultivators from the Taiyi Sect, they were quite proud and absolutely unwilling to flee without a fight. ng Zhang pondered for a long ti before making the final decision.
"We can't act cowardly and run away before the enemy even arrives," he thought. "Taiyi Sect will face many challenges in the future, confronting even stronger foes. How can we expect to compete in the Cultivation World if we always cower and avoid trying?"
ng Zhang decided they would first engage in a battle with the Third Rank Monster Beast. If they found it impossible to resist, then they would consider retreating. They needed to take a chance and give their all, so they wouldn't have any regrets.
Now that they had decided to confront the Third Rank Monster Beast, they needed to figure out how to exploit their strengths and the enemy's weaknesses to the fullest. After much discussion, they ca up with a bold strategy.
They decided to leave a few Foundation Building cultivators behind at the mountain gate, leading the Refining Qi disciples to guard it. Six of the strongest Foundation Building cultivators would wield Yang Xueyi's rune weapon and actively confront the Third Rank Monster Beast in battle.
The Third Rank Monster Beast not only had formidable strength itself but also possessed strong commanding power over its underlings, the Monster Army. If it appeared among the Monster Army, even without directly attacking, the fighting power of the entire army would greatly increase, making them much harder to deal with.
Thus, they absolutely could not allow it to join forces with the Monster Army. Since it was currently still a thousand miles away, they needed to seize the opportunity to engage it while it was alone and push it back.
So, ng Zhang and the five other Foundation Building cultivators stealthily left the mountain gate and daringly launched an attack, actively seeking out the Third Rank Monster Beast.
The outco of the battle was unexpectedly good. They thought driving back the Third Rank Monster Beast would be a success, but they managed to kill it on the spot, completely removing this major threat.
However, Aunt Jin died in the battle, which was an unexpected tragedy. Jin Qiao'er, despite being a Foundation Building cultivator herself, almost collapsed upon witnessing the death of her closest elder. She carefully collected Aunt Jin's body and preserved it with great care.
After a short rest, ng Zhang realized he needed to attend to the urgent matter of recalling everyone to the mountain gate. He had initially intended to leave Jin Qiao'er behind, but she showed her resolute side and insisted on continuing to fight, tears still in her eyes. ng Zhang thought that perhaps intense combat might help dispel her sorrow.
He then decided to leave the severely injured Deep EarthSpirit General and Shocking ThunderSpirit General behind while the rest of them hurried back to reinforce the mountain gate.
Third Rank Monster Beasts were rare in the Endless Sea of Sand, except for the Demon Wind Gobi; they were seldom seen elsewhere. Every part of a Third Rank Monster Beast was valuableits flesh and blood could be used to create precious spirit elixirs, its fur could be used for talismans, and most importantly, its Monster Core was extrely precious as the main ingredient for refining the Foundation Building Pill.
With a Third Rank Monster Beast's Monster Core as the main ingredient, the requirents for the other auxiliary ingredients were not too high. With Taiyi Sect's capabilities, they could gather all the necessary materials. Once Shi Changqing's injuries were healed, and he completely expelled the pill toxin, they could begin the alchemy process.
Qiaoshou Sect suffered the loss of Aunt Jin, and although Jin Qiao'er didn't ntion claiming any spoils of war, they still made significant contributions. ng Zhang was a fair person and planned to compensate Qiaoshou Sect after successfully refining the Foundation Building Pill.
As ng Zhang was about to leave, he sensed so movents from his spirit pets in the spirit beast pouch he carried. Two spirit pets, Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning) and Liu Li (Colored Glaze), jumped out of the pouch. They hesitated while looking at the gigantic corpse of the Demon General, still exuding a powerful aura.
ng Zhang chuckled and scolded, "You two are usually so brave, but now you're acting like cowards? You have no courage to face a re corpse?" The two clever spirit pets understood what ng Zhang ant.
Upon hearing his words, they growled indignantly and fearlessly pounced on the Demon General's body to feast upon it. The flesh and blood of a Third Rank Monster Beast were rare delicacies for beings of their level.
With Deep EarthSpirit General and Shocking ThunderSpirit General guarding them, there was no need to worry about their safety. Before leaving, ng Zhang used so effort to cut off the Demon General's long tongue. Then, he prepared to leave, taking Yang Xueyi and Jin Qiao'er with him, to rush back to the mountain gate.
When they arrived, the defensive formation was under imnse pressure because they had lost a large portion of their fighting force. The cultivators maintaining the great formation were struggling greatly. In just this short period, many Refining Qi cultivators were completely exhausted and collapsed, unable to move.
If it weren't for the tily return of ng Zhang and the others, so cultivators might have been drained dry by the great formation and died here.
Even though ng Zhang and his companions were also exhausted and had lost a considerable amount of true qi, they were still Foundation Building cultivators. As they joined the defense, the other cultivators felt a significant relief, and so of those on the verge of collapse found a mont of respite.
However, there was an unexpected change in the battlefield dynamics. Shortly after the death of the Demon General, several Second Rank Giant Lizards in the Monster Army seed to sense sothing and suddenly beca extrely aggressive. The enraged lizards roared fiercely, driving their fellow monsters to fiercely attack the great formation.
