Meng Zhang initially thought that after the Feihong Sect's strength increased greatly, it was very likely that they would attack the Taiyi Sect.
According to the information obtained from Jin Li Zhenren, Feihong Sect regarded the Mobei Qi family as its primary target. When Meng Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, he also began to secretly mobilize the Taiyi Sect to be ready to support the Mobei Qi family at any time.
But as time goes by, several years have passed, but the Feihong Sect has never made a move against the Mobei Qi family.
This made Meng Zhang feel a little confused. He had already made a wrong judgment once. Could it be that the news about Jin Li was also wrong?
However, Meng Zhang was confused but did not make any rash moves.
He finally listened to the advice given to him by the Supreme Sword God General. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when I think about it afterwards, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
It is better to be still than to move. It is best to wait for the Feihong Sect to take action before responding.
Although the Taiyi Sect is trying its best to increase its combat effectiveness, it has some means to compete with Jindan Zhenren. But facing the four golden elixir masters from Feihong Sect, they were still at an absolute disadvantage.
In addition to tapping the potential of everyone in the sect, as the only Jindan master in the sect, all Meng Zhang can do is to practice hard and increase his combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
That night, Meng Zhang was doing routine practice as usual.
At this time, he was practicing his main skill, "Sun and Moon Cycle Sutra".
He flew high into the sky, absorbing the taiyin energy between heaven and earth and condensing the taiyin true water.
When the sun was shining brightly at noon during the day, he had already flown high into the sky, absorbing the blazing sun's energy and condensing the true fire of the sun.
Compared with the True Sun Fire and True Water of Taiyin that were condensed during the Foundation Establishment Stage, the True Fire of the Sun and True Water of Taiyin that were condensed after entering the Golden Core Stage are not only of a higher level. Moreover, they can be combined into one to cultivate a magical power, the sun, moon and divine light.
After these years of practice, Meng Zhang had already begun to get a glimpse of this powerful magical power.
Meng Zhangruo, who was practicing, felt something. He used his Dharma Eyes to pierce delusion and looked into the distant night sky.
A large fleet of flying boats is flying towards here from a distance. Judging from the markings on the outside of the flying boat, this is clearly the Feihong Sect's team.
Meng Zhang was shocked. Why did Feihong Sect come directly to Taiyi Sect? Didn’t it mean that the Feihong Sect would first deal with the Mobei Qi family?
At this time, Meng Zhang didn't have much time to think about this issue.
He immediately landed in the Xiongshi Ridge station and activated the third-level mountain-protecting formation, the Golden Wind Flame Formation, as quickly as possible.
After the disciples on night patrol received Meng Zhang's message, they began to wake up the disciples stationed in the area.
A Taiyi sect disciple who had been trained for a long time rushed to various nodes of the formation and began to help Meng Zhang control the formation according to previous drills.
The entire Xiongshiling station was awakened, and everyone quickly entered a state of war.
A thick curtain of light rose above the station. Above the light curtain, the golden wind howled, the flames were blazing, and the power of the formation had begun to be slowly unleashed.
With the blessing of this third-level mountain protection formation, Meng Zhang felt a little at ease. But when I thought about Feihong Sect actually rushing towards me at this moment, I felt a huge headache.
Judging from the size of the flying boat team, Feihong Sect dispatched a large army this time.
With the current strength of the Ether Yi Sect, it is simply impossible to take the initiative to attack, and can only rely on the third-order mountain guarding formation to defend.
As a result, Taiyi Sect's many strongholds in Yaofeng Gobi had no choice but to give up.
If Feihong Sect divides its forces to attack, Taiyi Sect's mountain gate in the endless sand sea and its huge territory will also be unable to defend.
With the behavior of those outsiders in the Hanhai Dao Alliance, the entire Hanhai Dao Alliance will collapse in an instant.
Meng Zhang had led Taiyi Sect to struggle for so many years, and it was not easy for him to reach the current situation. Feihong Sect's action this time will soon bring everything to naught.
Not to mention the huge losses Taiyi Sect is about to suffer, if the Xiongshi Ridge garrison is lost, Taiyi Sect may be completely extinct.
Meng Zhang's face was ashen and he felt very regretful.
What he regrets is not that he fell out with the Feihong Sect. Even if Taiyi Sect has always been friendly with Feihong Sect, no matter how good the relationship with Feihong Sect is, when Feihong Sect feels that Taiyi Sect is a threat and can free its hands, it will never let Taiyi Sect go.
The relationship between friends and foes between sects will not be affected by personal feelings.
What he regretted was that he did not prepare early and left a way out for Taiyi Sect.
In the world of cultivation, there are many forces that are not as powerful as the current Taiyi Sect. Anyone who inherits history will secretly leave behind some back-ups. In order to prepare for the disaster of annihilation, some inheritance seeds can be preserved to leave an opportunity for a comeback in the future.
Although Taiyi Sect has a long heritage, it has long since fallen to the bottom. It wasn't until Meng Zhang became the leader that things started to improve.
Judging from the standards of Jindan monks, Meng Zhang is still too young. Although he has encountered many difficult challenges along the way, overall he has gone very smoothly.
Overcoming many difficulties along the way, Taiyimen developed and expanded.
On weekdays, he didn't express much on the surface, but deep down, Meng Zhang was still very proud.
As a young and successful man, he had never encountered any obstacles that he could not overcome, so naturally he did not consider the long term and leave the seeds of inheritance for the sect.
Now that the Feihong Sect's army was approaching fiercely, Meng Zhangcai suddenly realized this problem.
At this point, it’s time to prepare for the worst.
Meng Zhang called three disciples, Niu Dawei and the An family sister and brother, in front of him and gave instructions in a low voice.
If things go wrong later, the mountain-protecting formation will be broken. The three of them immediately split up and escaped, and I will try my best to buy time for them.
After leaving Xiongshi Ridge, be sure not to stay in Yaofeng Gobi, let alone go back to the Endless Sand Sea. They must rush to Gale City immediately, contact Master Luo Ye, and seek her asylum.
After giving the instructions, Meng Zhang saw the three of them wanted to say something and immediately stopped them. Now is not the time for mothers-in-law and mothers to act decisively.
Meng Zhang gave a strict order, and even if the three of them were unwilling, they could only accept it silently.
It's not that Meng Zhang doesn't want to escape, but he knows that if the Feihong Sect breaks the mountain-protecting formation, he will definitely be the Feihong Sect's number one target, and he will be pursued by all the Jindan masters of the Feihong Sect.
In that case, it would be better for him to stay and delay the enemy, giving his disciples a chance to escape.
His three disciples have excellent qualifications and have bright futures. As long as they can successfully escape, the Taiyi Sect will be able to recover one day, and there will also be hope of revenge for itself.
After Meng Zhang finished giving instructions to his disciples and was directing everyone to activate the mountain protection formation, a figure flew over from a distance.
When Qin Hongying came to Xiongshi Ridge, she also brought a group of Qin family members and subordinates with her, ready for her to command at any time.
The visitor was a middle-aged woman, one of Qin Hongying's maids.
The third-level mountain-protecting formation is fully activated, which requires a large amount of spiritual energy from the third-level spiritual veins, which naturally affects Qin Hongying's daily homework.
Moreover, the Xiongshiling garrison made such a big noise at night, as if facing a formidable enemy, which had already alarmed Qin Hongying.
She sent this maid here to inquire about the situation.
On normal days, Meng Zhang would be more polite. But now that the enemy is approaching, he has no intention of greeting a mere maid.
"Go back and tell your master that the Lion Ridge is about to be attacked by a powerful enemy. If she doesn't want to be affected by the battle, leave as soon as possible."
Meng Zhang had never counted on Qin Hongying.
With her usual attitude, she would never get involved in this muddy water and help the Taiyi Sect against the enemy.
The maid did not dare to say anything in front of the calm Jin Dan Master, and immediately turned around and flew away.
After a while, two flying boats took off from the top of the mountain where Qin Hongying lived and flew high into the sky.
"I'm sorry, Master Meng. I've made my word first and won't interfere with the Taiyi Sect's grudges."
The two flying boats flew to a high altitude not far away, but did not fly away immediately.
It seems that Qin Hongying also wants to see the situation and find out the situation of the battle.
Meng Zhang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if the Taiyi Sect was defeated and the Xiongshiling garrison was lost, would Qin Hongying take advantage of the situation and bite the Taiyi Sect back?
This was not because Meng Zhang was cautious about judging a gentleman's heart, but because he made a correct judgment based on his understanding of Qin Hongying.
Qin Hongying, an old woman, is a very typical cultivator. There is no distinction between right and wrong in his heart. He is only interested in profit and will only act in accordance with the policy that is beneficial to himself.
The inner demon oath made by both parties at the beginning only stipulated that Qin Hongying help Taiyi Sect fight against the army of monsters. There is not much restriction on Qin Hongying's other behavior.
Qin Hongying took the initiative to leave and escaped from the third-order mountain guarding formation, the Golden Wind Flame Formation, which gave Meng Zhang one less thing to worry about.
In a short period of time, the Xiongshiling Station made various preparations. The Taiyimen were in full formation, ready to respond to the enemy at any time.
Meng Zhang flew into the air, raised his Dharma-breaking Eyes and looked into the distance, observing the movements of the Feihong Sect's flying boat team.
Feihong Sect's flying boat team came very quickly and rushed directly to the direction of Xiongshi Ridge.
Meng Zhang always pays attention to the opponent's movements and is ready to take action at any time.
The Feihong Sect's flying boat team was approaching with great force, especially the two third-level warships at the head, which were even more murderous.
Seeing that this unintentional flying boat team was approaching the Lion Ridge, the two leading third-order warships suddenly turned in the air and flew in another direction.
The entire team followed the leading warship and turned around, making a large circle, bypassing the Lion Ridge, and flew towards the north.
What tricks is Feihong Sect doing? Meng Zhang was a little confused.
After the flying boat team bypassed the Lion Ridge, it accelerated directly and quickly disappeared into the night.
Meng Zhang did not relax his vigilance. He still used his Dharma Eyes to observe the opponent's flight path carefully. The third-level mountain-protecting formation below still maintains its accelerating state.
After a long time, Feihong Sect's flying boat team flew further and further away, and slowly disappeared from Meng Zhang's eyes.
That direction seems to be the direction of the crow's nest. What are the Feihong Sect's army doing there?
Meng Zhang was puzzled. Because they were worried that the Feihong Sect was being mysterious and would kill someone at any time. He told the disciples of the Taiyi Sect to be on guard and be ready to launch a mountain-protecting formation at any time.
Meng Zhang hesitated for a moment, worried about fraud and worried about the movements of Feihong Sect's team.
He glanced below and saw that with so many foundation-building disciples in the formation, even if Jin Dan Zhenren attacked, they would not be able to break the mountain-protecting formation in a short time.
And he himself was confident enough that he would not be ambushed by the enemy.
With an idea in his mind, Meng Zhang took action immediately.
He flew in the direction where the Feihong Sect's flying boat team left.
Jindan Zhenren's flying speed is far higher than the flying speed of these flying boats.
It didn't take much time for Meng Zhang to catch up with Feihong Sect's flying boat team from behind.
Meng Zhang didn't dare to get too close. He only dared to hang far behind and stare at the front from a distance.
The Feihong Sect's flying boat team was indeed targeting the crow's nest.
The large group of people did not stop at all, and rushed straight towards the crow's nest.
Outside of the crow's nest, there are often patrols of monsters, mainly dark crows, nearby.
Although it was night time, the Feihong Sect's team came to kill them in such a grand and unabashed manner that they quickly alerted the patrolling monsters.
After receiving the warning from the patrolling monsters, the crow's nest quickly became agitated, and countless monsters were awakened from their sleep. Driven by some demon beast leaders, a large number of demon beasts went on alert.
Feihong Sect's flying boat team didn't care about this at all. Three Jindan Daoists flew out of a flying boat and came to the front of the entire team.
Master Fei Shi and Master Fei Jiang Meng Zhang have both met before. The unknown Master Jin Dan must be Master Wu Mingwei who has recently formed an elixir.
After the three golden elixir masters flew out, they led two third-level warships and launched a forceful attack on the crow's nest.
The spaceships behind them began to slow down and lower their flying altitude. A Feihong Sect monk jumped out of the flying boat and landed on the ground.
A large number of Feihong Sect monks formed an array on the ground and assumed an attacking posture.
In front, three Jindan Daoists and two third-order warships have begun to attack the layout outside the crow's nest.
The actions of the Feihong Sect monks finally reassured Meng Zhang.
It turns out that the target of the Feihong Sect’s army of monks is not the Taiyi Sect, but the Crow’s Nest.
Meng Zhang and the entire Taiyi Sect had just had a false alarm.
Meng Zhang was a little confused, why did the Dark Crow Demon General provoke the Feihong Sect? They actually let the Feihong Sect ignore the Taiyi Clan, a personal nuisance, and did not follow True Lord Tianzhu's order to attack the Mobei Qi family.
Of course, no matter what, Feihong Sect takes the Crow's Nest as the primary target of attack, which is a great good thing for both the Taiyi Sect and the Mobei Qi Family.
Meng Zhang had teamed up with Gu Yue Huaidie and Luo Ye Zhenren to personally test out various arrangements of the crow's nest.
Although the three golden elixir masters did not attack with all their strength, they did not mobilize the Taiyi Sect disciples to help. But they all really felt the extraordinaryness of the crow's nest.
Needless to say, the Dark Crow Demon General is a third-level mid-level monster. Just the various arrangements left by the White Lion Demon King are not something that ordinary Jindan Masters can easily break.
As long as the Feihong Sect takes action against Crow's Nest, they will soon fall into a difficult battle. There is simply no way to win in a short period of time.
