Yellow Sand Ridge was once the main entrance of the Flying Swan Sect many years ago. However, when the dominant Purple Gold Sect in the Endless Sea of Sand declined, the Flying Swan Sect seized the opportunity to rise and beca the new overlord.
As ti passed and ng Zhang grew in strength, the Endless Sea of Sand went through a series of changes. The Flying Swan Sect declined completely, leaving behind only a few remaining disciples, and eventually beca a vassal of the Taiyi Sect.
After several changes, Yellow Sand Ridge fell into the hands of the Taiyi Sect. The Fire Cloud Sect once occupied Yellow Sand Ridge and its surrounding areas for a considerable period. However, facing the increasingly powerful Taiyi Sect, they had no choice but to voluntarily give up the territory.
The Taiyi Sect didn't press them further and only took control of Yellow Sand Ridge, leaving the surrounding area, which originally belonged to the Fire Cloud Sect, relatively untouched.
The Fire Cloud Sect's main entrance was initially located near Great Wind City. Later, they invaded the Endless Sea of Sand and gained a substantial advantage, claiming a sizable territory. However, due to this territory, the higher-ups of the Jade Sword Sect believed that the Fire Cloud Sect was related to the Endless Sea of Sand and should be guarding it with all their strength.
As the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan's marching speed was not fast, ng Zhang didn't rush to Yellow Sand Ridge. Instead, he sent Deep Earth Spirit General to lead the disciples of the Taiyi Sect and cultivators from the Hanhai Alliance to set up defenses in Yellow Sand Ridge. He himself took the ti to return to the main entrance of Taiyi Sect, the Hundred Grass Slope.
Taiyi Sect's main entrance, Hundred Grass Slope, was located in Demon Wind Gobi, between the Yellow Sand Ridge on the edge of the Endless Sea of Sand. There was still a considerable distance between them.
ng Zhang didn't waste much ti on the journey and quickly returned to the main entrance.
Upon his return, he first summoned Niu Dawei, the senior disciple who remained there, and received a detailed report on the recent situation within the sect.
After ng Zhang led the disciples of Taiyi Sect and the cultivators of the Hanhai Alliance on their expedition, the Demon Wind Gobi remained relatively calm, and nothing unusual happened. Both the directly controlled territory and the vassal territories of the Taiyi Sect were peaceful.
Later, ng Zhang sent Delicate Water Spirit General to lead half of the Taiyi Sect disciples back to the main entrance. Delicate Water Spirit General claid to be heavily injured and needed to go into seclusion for recovery. In reality, she had gone to Maple Leaf Mountain City to oversee various affairs there.
As an experienced Guardian Spirit General, she was more than capable of handling things on her own.
The half of the Taiyi Sect disciples who returned from the front lines included many heavily injured mbers, who were taken care of and treated for their injuries at the main entrance.
Those with better conditions were given various tasks and arrangents.
Niu Dawei selected a group of disciples with great potential and so newly initiated young children with awakening spiritual roots. He secretly sent them in batches to Maple Leaf Mountain City.
To avoid drawing attention and ensure secrecy, the number of people sent was intentionally slow, and Niu Dawei had to find ways to conceal the disappearance of these disciples.
As for important resources, including so precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, most of them had already been transported to Maple Leaf Mountain City.
After listening to Niu Dawei's report, ng Zhang was very satisfied with his work during this period and praised him greatly.
After inspecting the situation of the Taiyi Sect and confirming that everything was in order, ng Zhang departed once again.
Before leaving, he specifically entrusted Niu Dawei with Elder Beast Fury's arrangents. He didn't go into too much detail but asked Niu Dawei to be prepared to receive them.
The group of Foundation Building stage disciples arranged by Elder Beast Fury would arrive at the Taiyi Sect before long.ng Zhang ordered Niu Dawei to select a suitable territory in the Demon Wind Gobi to accommodate the newcors and provide them a place to establish their sect and build their main entrance.
Since the Taiyi Sect began large-scale developnt in the Demon Wind Gobi, an increasing number of external cultivators arrived in the area, establishing their families or sects there.
Having a group of Beast King Mountain cultivators here wouldn't be too conspicuous. Even if they were foolish, they probably wouldn't continue using the na "Beast King Mountain." As long as they didn't foolishly expose their origins voluntarily, there shouldn't be any problems.
After leaving the main entrance of Taiyi Sect, the Hundred Grass Slope, ng Zhang rushed all the way to Yellow Sand Ridge.
Yellow Sand Ridge was situated above a Third Rank spirit vein. Although it ranked at the bottom among Third Rank spirit veins, it could still save a considerable amount of spiritual stones when used for formations.
Upon Deep Earth Spirit General's arrival with the group of cultivators, they followed the old routine of inspecting the terrain and surveying the spiritual veins in the area. Then, they moved the mountains and set up a Third Rank protective great formation.
When ng Zhang arrived at Yellow Sand Ridge, the process of setting up the formation was in full swing. Deep Earth Spirit General and Wen Qiansun personally led and directed the disciples of Taiyi Sect to work tirelessly.
The cultivators from the Hanhai Alliance temporarily stationed outside Yellow Sand Ridge, waiting for the formation to be completed.
Sect Master Daoist Master Firecloud of the Fire Cloud Sect also arrived with the main force of Fire Cloud Sect's cultivators near Yellow Sand Ridge.
The Fire Cloud Sect's territory near Yellow Sand Ridge had long been emptied out, implenting the strictest scorched-earth policy.
In fact, all unrelated personnel around Yellow Sand Ridge had been moved away long ago. Within a radius of a thousand miles from Yellow Sand Ridge, there was no human presence other than Yellow Sand Ridge itself.
With the marauding nature and notorious reputation of the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan, ng Zhang wished to leave them not a drop of water or a blade of grass.
Originally, ng Zhang was sowhat worried that their strength might not be enough to resist the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan's attacks. However, shortly after he arrived at Yellow Sand Ridge, he unexpectedly received reinforcents.
Book Mountain True Monarch, a familiar acquaintance with whom ng Zhang had interacted several tis, ca unexpectedly to provide support.
With this powerful ally, ng Zhang finally had the confidence to defend Yellow Sand Ridge and resist the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan.
After arriving, Book Mountain True Monarch had a long conversation with ng Zhang and brought so surprising news.
Not long ago, Elder Beast Fury of Beast King Mountain suffered severe injuries and died during ditation on the frontlines.
After Elder Beast Fury died during ditation, Jade Sword Sect used the excuse of Beast King Mountain harboring spies from the Dali Dynasty to control all the disciples of Beast King Mountain.
But that's not all; Jade Sword Sect dispatched a group of cultivators, in cooperation with the Four Seas Comrcial Firm, to enter the main entrance of Beast King Mountain and took complete control of the place.
Having suffered heavy losses in the previous major battle and now losing their only Primordial Spirit True Monarch, Elder Beast Fury, Beast King Mountain had no power to resist the sudden attack from the powerful Jade Sword Sect and could only submit obediently.
Upon hearing the news brought by Book Mountain True Monarch, ng Zhang was stunned. Although he had a foreboding from Elder Beast Fury's act of entrusting him with the orphans, he never expected it to happen so soon.
From the account of Book Mountain True Monarch, it seed that Elder Beast Fury died during ditation shortly after ng Zhang's departure from Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain with the Taiyi Sect.
However, considering their eting that night, although Elder Beast Fury had lost vitality, his death wouldn't have co so quickly. No matter how bad the situation, he could endure for ten days, half a month, or even one or two months.
The sudden and hasty death of Elder Beast Fury likely involved Jade Sword Sect's actions.
