After the low-level monks from several factions went back to rest, they started fighting again.
Everyone got tired and went back to rest, and then continued fighting after resting.
Although there were many casualties, it was still difficult to determine the winner.
After several iterations, everyone knew that unless the Jindan masters could decide the winner as soon as possible, this would be a protracted battle that would take a long time.
The seven golden elixir masters fought in the sky for more than ten days, but they still ended up with no victory or defeat.
In the end, the three golden elixir masters of the Fire Cloud Sect couldn't bear it anymore. After forcing their opponents away, they took the initiative to fly back to their own monk team and commanded the monks to retreat slowly.
Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei had no intention of pursuing them, and Feishi Zhenren and Wu Mingwei did not have the courage to go deep alone. They looked at each other helplessly, then joined the Feihong Sect disciples and slowly evacuated the battlefield.
Next, the Huoyun Sect, Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect all set up camps in the wild and set up temporary protective formations.
The war thus entered a stalemate stage.
The seven Jindan Masters would come out to fight every once in a while, and it was always a win-or-lose situation.
When they get tired or tired of fighting, the two sides will end the fight in a tacit agreement and return to their respective places.
The armies of monks from both sides would form their battle formations from time to time and engage in a fierce battle.
In addition to leaving a pile of corpses and bleeding in vain, there is also no way to tell the winner, let alone the direction of the battle.
The Fire Cloud Sect and Feihong Sect are certainly not satisfied with this situation, but they can't find a way to break the situation for the time being.
Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei really wished for this. They are all very satisfied with the current battle situation.
The casualties of the Taiyi Sect monks made Meng Zhang, the leader, a little heartbroken. He could only regard this as a kind of training for his disciples.
The monks of the three sects all set up strongholds in the wild and have no spiritual veins to use.
From the Jindan masters in the sect to the Qi refining period disciples in the sect, they all need to spend a lot of spiritual stones continuously to maintain their daily needs and ensure tasks such as meditation and breath adjustment.
Especially Jindan Zhenren, if he wants to ensure that his cultivation level does not fall, he needs to spend high-grade spiritual stones to set up the spirit gathering array. If you want to ensure that daily practice continues and your cultivation continues to progress, you need to consume spiritual marrow.
Especially during the ongoing war, all the monks' true energy was severely depleted, and their demand for spiritual stones was even greater.
After the war lasted for a period of time, the Huoyun faction, which had a rich family, still had no problems. The two sects, Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect, felt a bit overwhelmed.
The Feihong Sect has ruled the Endless Sand Sea for many years, and still has a good foundation, and its family background is even better. But after so many years of constant consumption, especially the last defeat, even the mountain gate was lost, and the losses were extremely heavy.
Having lost almost all of its territory and control over the endless sea of sand, the Feihong Sect lost almost all of its sources of income.
Now Feihong Sect is relying on its small capital to support itself.
If it were a quick victory, it would be fine, but if the war drags on for a long time, the Feihong Sect's capital is rapidly depleted and is about to be exhausted.
After so many years of preparation, Taiyi Sect has been actively preparing for war. Logically speaking, the preparations for war are already very sufficient.
But after the war started, Meng Zhang realized that he had underestimated the cost of the war between the Jindan sects.
The supplies Taiyimen accumulated before the war were being consumed rapidly, but it was difficult to replenish them.
Taiyi Sect currently occupies such a vast and rich territory, but it has never been given enough time to develop it.
Most of the monks from the Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Dao Alliance were restrained on the battlefield. There was simply not enough manpower available in Yaofeng Gobi, and all development work had entered a semi-stagnant state. The few resources obtained can barely meet the needs of Yaofeng Gobi.
On the other hand, Taiyi Sect's territory in the endless sand sea is a little barren, but after years of full development, everything is on the right track. Even if most of the monks are taken away, it can still continuously provide various resources to replenish the Taiyi Sect's army of monks.
Of course, this supplement is a drop in the bucket compared to the daily consumption of the army.
Although the supplies accumulated by Taiyi Sect before the war are far from exhausted, they can continue to support them for a long time.
But Meng Zhang felt a lot of pain and felt that this kind of consumption was completely meaningless.
At this time, Meng Zhang had some doubts about the decision he had made before.
What he originally hoped was that the Feihong Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect would fall into a protracted war, with both sides constantly attrition. But I never thought that Taiyi Sect’s army would be dragged here and consumed as well.
During the intermission of the war, the sect elders Wen Qiansuan, Hu Jing and Yang Xueyi all came to Meng Zhang to express their dissatisfaction with the current situation and all put forward similar opinions.
Rather than letting the Taiyi Sect suffer losses here in vain, it would be better to fully assist the Feihong Sect, drive away the Fire Cloud Sect first, and end this costly war.
After the Fire Cloud Sect was expelled, even if the Feihong Sect regained its status as the overlord of the Endless Sand Sea, everything in the Endless Sand Sea would never be the same again.
The Feihong Sect would need to spend a lot of time and energy just to clean up the mess left by the Fire Cloud Sect.
As long as the Taiyi Sect and the Mobei Qi Family respond to each other, they are not afraid that the severely weakened Feihong Sect can threaten them.
Meng Zhang is limited by his intelligence level, experience and knowledge, and often cannot make the best choice. The decisions made often have many omissions.
But one good thing about him is that he is not stubborn. Rarely self-righteous and able to listen to other people's opinions.
Meng Zhang felt that what the elders said was reasonable, and after discussing with them, he changed his original decision and decided to help the Feihong Sect defeat the Fire Cloud Sect first.
Of course, Meng Zhangdu only dared to say that he could defeat the Fire Cloud Sect and drive them out of the endless sand sea. But I never dare to hope that I can kill the opponent's Jindan Daoist and severely damage the opponent's monk army.
Neither Meng Zhang himself nor the entire Taiyi Sect is willing to pay a high price in this war.
In fact, after the failure of the Fire Cloud Sect, it is best to retain a certain amount of strength so that it can continue to pose a threat to the Feihong Sect.
Only with the pressure of external enemies can the Feihong Sect be distracted, so that the Feihong Sect has no time to plot against the Taiyi Sect and the Mobei Qi Family.
Meng Zhang had made his decision and needed to talk to Master Qi Nanfei first.
After all, the next war will require others' efforts.
Unfortunately, Meng Zhang’s proposal was not recognized by Qi Nanfei. He feels that the current situation is pretty good and he has no intention of changing it.
Anyway, the Mobei Qi family did not send an army of monks to fight, but only a few monks were showing off on the battlefield, so there would not be much consumption at all.
Although Qi Nanfei himself has to consume a lot of high-grade spiritual stones, he can still sustain it with the hundreds of years of experience of the Mobei Qi family.
