For Qi Nanfei, this situation is just right. The forces of Feihong Sect, Huoyun Sect and Taiyi Sect are constantly depleting and losing blood, which is what suits him best.
Despite the current tacit understanding between Meng Zhang and him, the Taiyi Sect had secretly communicated with the Mobei Qi family before. But that was because the Taiyi Sect needed the Mobei Qi family to contain the Feihong Sect out of their own interests.
In Qi Nanfei's eyes, Feihong Sect is the enemy of life and death, and Taiyi Sect is also not a friend. He has not forgotten that during the battle in Yaofeng Gobi, the Mobei Qi family was badly tricked by Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect.
Now Meng Zhang wants Qi Nanfei to cooperate and defeat the Fire Cloud Sect together, but he will not agree at all.
Meng Zhang patiently tried to persuade Qi Nanfei, and even offered some conditions to bribe him.
But Qi Nanfei not only rejected Meng Zhang, but also ridiculed him.
Later, Meng Zhang was irritated by Qi Nanfei, and the two exchanged words with each other, but they just didn't completely break up.
Meng Zhang, who returned without success, was not discouraged, but became angry in his heart.
Without Butcher Zhang, there would be no pigs with hair on them. Even without Qi Nanfei's cooperation, he still had to rely on his own efforts to break the deadlock.
After forming the elixir for so long, he has made great progress in both his magic power and supernatural powers. He didn't believe that he would lose to other early stage Jindan monks.
During the several battles that followed, Meng Zhang paid silent attention and carefully looked for opportunities.
The war situation has been at a stalemate for another two or three months. Not only are the monk armies exhausted, but even the Jindan Daoists are a little tired.
On this day, the seven Jindan Masters once again flew above the center of the battlefield, and started a new round of fighting as if it were a routine matter.
In the previous battles, Jindan Zhenren from Feihong Sect and Huoyun Sect tried to severely injure their enemies and determine the outcome.
However, due to the interference of Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei, they gave up the idea after several attempts in vain and could only maintain the status quo.
The battle this time seemed no different from the past.
But as soon as the battle started, Meng Zhang took the lead and flew towards the front, rushing towards Master Lieyun.
It was rare for Meng Zhang to take such initiative. Although Fei Shi and Wu Mingwei were a little surprised, they still followed closely to prevent Meng Zhang from being surrounded by the enemy.
Even if they still dislike Meng Zhang in their hearts, Master Fei Shi and the others will not just watch Meng Zhang fall into danger.
Qi Nanfei looked at Meng Zhang disdainfully, feeling very contemptuous of him in his heart.
You are so naive to think that if you take the initiative to charge, everyone will follow you to death.
Qi Nanfei flew lazily at the rear and flew forward unhurriedly.
Facing Meng Zhang's bold charge, the three Jindan masters of the Huoyun Sect thought that he was young and energetic, and began to lose their temper.
Originally, they did intend to take the opportunity to severely injure Meng Zhang, but Master Fei Shi and Wu Mingwei flew over immediately, causing them to lose this opportunity.
How could Master Lieyun, who was Meng Zhang's target, take Meng Zhang, a junior, into his eyes.
In many previous battles, Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei's small moves were not hidden from either their teammates or their enemies.
Master Lieyun was not afraid of a sneaky guy like Meng Zhang, so he boldly stepped forward to meet him.
As soon as the two came into contact, they started fighting.
Master Chi Yan and Master An Yun who were following Master Lie Yun were entangled by Master Fei Shi and Wu Mingwei before they could take action.
Master Fei Shi and Master Chi Yan have fought against each other many times, so they can be regarded as meeting good talents and meeting opponents. Even if the two fight for ten and a half days, it will be difficult to determine the winner.
Wu Mingwei's time for forming pills was too short, and he didn't have the same luck as Meng Zhang. Compared with the veteran Jindan Zhenren and Anyun Zhenren, he is a bit behind. Not long after the two of them fought, he slowly fell into a disadvantage.
As for Meng Zhang and Master Lieyun, shortly after the two fought, Meng Zhang began to retreat on his own initiative, fighting and walking away, slowly leading Master Lieyun away from here.
Originally, at this time, Meng Zhang should move closer to Qi Nanfei and take care of each other with him, while still having enough time to take care of Wu Mingwei.
But Meng Zhang retreated into the distance. In Qi Nanfei's view, Meng Zhang might not be willing to ask for help because he was angry with him last time.
Young people are still too thin-skinned. Qi Nanfei shook his head disdainfully.
In the battle between Jindan monks, it is difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time. And it is often easy to determine victory or defeat, but difficult to determine life and death.
Qi Nanfei didn't bother to care about Meng Zhang, but flew towards Wu Mingwei and Master An Yun. He weakly took action and showed some skills to help Wu Mingwei block Master An Yun.
Of course, he would not dare to disobey the orders of his true master Yuanshen. When you go to the battlefield, you must put in some effort to ensure that your side will not fail.
Let's talk about Meng Zhang and Lie Yun Zhenren. They were fighting and leaving, and they were already a long distance away.
Meng Zhang used the Qizheng Sword Technique, raised the Lieyang Sword and the Shadow Killing Sword at the same time, and kept attacking Lieyun Zhenren.
Master Lieyun held up a cloud sail and easily blocked two flying swords, without forgetting to comment.
"The sword technique is superb, just like a flying sword." He looked like a senior master.
He threw a fist-sized cloth bag, which turned into a fiery red cloud in the air, wrapped in blazing heat waves, and rushed towards Meng Zhang overwhelmingly.
Meng Zhang flicked his fingers continuously, shooting out sharp sword energy one after another.
The Liangyi Tongtian Sword, a small magical power, had made countless achievements when Meng Zhang was still a monk in the foundation-building stage.
When he entered the golden elixir stage, this small magical power was promoted to a real magical power.
Now displayed, the black and white sword energy actually withstood the killing weapon of Master Lieyun.
In many previous battles, Meng Zhang and Qi Nanfei deliberately let go. Meng Zhang, in particular, deliberately concealed his clumsiness and allowed Master Lieyun to make a misjudgment and underestimate his strength.
If Meng Zhang wants to change the situation of the war as soon as possible, he must end the stalemate between Jin Dan Zhenren.
Now he no longer hides his strength and shows his true abilities.
Although Master Lieyun was a little surprised by Meng Zhang's fighting power, he was not afraid. As a veteran of the Fire Cloud Sect, Jin Dan Zhenren, he has experienced hundreds of battles, how can he be afraid of a mere junior.
The fight between the two became more and more fierce, and they each came up with their own trump cards.
Fortunately, Meng Zhang led Master Lieyun away from the battlefield when the war just started. Otherwise, if the scene of the fierce battle between the two falls in the eyes of other Jindan masters, they may be ready to intervene at any time.
After a hard fight, Meng Zhang, using the cover of Qizheng Sword Jue, suddenly took out the Spiritual Snake Spear, a spiritual weapon, and gave Master Lieyun a very vicious blow.
The spirit snake spear easily pierced Zhenren Lieyun's protective magical weapon, leaving a big hole in his body.
The terrifying killing energy invaded his body, defeated his true energy in a few strokes, and directly began to destroy everything in his body.
Lieyun Zhenren let out a shrill scream, tried his best to avoid Meng Zhang, and flew away from the battlefield.
Jindan Zhenren's spiritual thoughts cover a very wide range, and his perception is very astonishing.
Although Meng Zhang had taken Master Lieyun as far away as possible from the battlefield where several Master Jindan were fighting. But the movement they made immediately alerted others.
Without any hesitation, Master Chi Yan and Master An Yun immediately left their opponents behind and flew over there.
With the current situation of the Huoyun Sect, it really can no longer bear the loss of a Jindan Zhenren. Zhenren Lieyun must not die here.
After delivering a shocking blow, Meng Zhang exhausted most of his true energy and had to stop to regain his breath.
The speed of Master Jindan was so fast, especially that of Master Lieyun who was escaping for his life. It almost stimulated all the potential in his body.
When Meng Zhang recovered his energy and was about to pursue the pursuit, Master Chiyan and the others had already joined Master Lieyun and protected him.
Master Fei Shi and Wu Mingwei flew over in pursuit, but were temporarily blocked by Master Chi Yan.
Qi Nanfei was shocked by Meng Zhang's fighting ability and regretted that he should not have fallen out with Meng Zhang.
But then I thought about it, the Taiyi Sect and the Mobei Qi family were not the same people to begin with. What use could the superficial harmony be?
Even if the relationship between the two parties is cordial, no one will be merciful when there is a conflict of interest and it is time to take action.
Qi Nanfei deliberately stayed one step behind and did not join the attack on Master Chiyan and the others.
Master Chi Yan blocked Master Feishi and Wu Mingwei, Master An Yun rescued Master Lieyun, and then the three of them joined together, fought and retreated, and slowly left the battlefield.
Meng Zhang sent out the blow just now, and the damage was also not small. After regaining his breath, he was only half recovered.
Facing his comrades who had their own hidden agendas, he did not dare to hand over his back to them. In order to maintain intact fighting condition, he was unwilling to continue to consume too much real energy.
Meng Zhang raised two flying swords and joined the pursuit, but was unable to leave the enemy behind.
Master Chi Yan's mind was very clear and he immediately recognized the form in front of him.
Master Lieyun was seriously injured and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The most important thing is that Meng Zhang, who had previously deliberately hidden his clumsiness, showed his true strength.
With the increase and decrease, the Fire Cloud Sect is at an absolute disadvantage at the level of Jindan Daoist.
In most battles in the world of cultivation, as long as the battle situation at the top level collapses, no matter how hard the monks at the bottom level try, they will be unable to recover.
Today's battle will be no exception. The Fire Cloud Sect's defeat is now certain.
However, as long as it is dealt with properly, the Huoyun Sect's losses can still be controlled, and it may not be possible for them to make a comeback in the future.
The three masters of Chiyan quickly retreated into the army of Huoyun Sect monks, and then commanded the army to retreat slowly.
Although the Fire Cloud Sect was defeated, it was not in chaos. Even when it retreated, it kept its formation intact, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.
Seeing the enemy's retreat, the Feihong Sect's monk army immediately boosted their morale and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue them.
However, firstly, the enemy was well-defended, and secondly, the army of monks from Taiyi Sect did not actively cooperate.
After a fierce pursuit, the Huoyun faction suffered heavy losses, but the main force still safely withdrew from the battlefield.
The battlefield everyone chose this time is located not far from Feihong City.
However, the army of monks from the Huoyun Sect did not withdraw to Feihong City, but directly to Feihong Mountain.
When the last monk of the Fire Cloud Sect retreated into Feihong Mountain, and the light of the third-order mountain guarding formation on Feihong Mountain lit up, the two Jindan Daoists of the Feihong Sect, although they were reluctant, had to accept that the enemy had escaped this time. A calamity.
When the Huoyun Sect monk army retreated, they naturally couldn't take care of the forcibly recruited cannon fodder army.
As weaklings, they naturally have their own way of survival.
As soon as they saw the army of Huoyun Sect monks retreating, this motley army of servants who had been gathered together immediately dispersed.
Some monks used all their strength to escape from the battlefield desperately, just thinking of escaping far away.
There are also some monks who take the initiative to fly towards the camps of Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect. As soon as he flew in front of him, he fell to his knees and started to cry loudly.
They accused the Huoyun Sect monks of their sins at the top of their lungs, telling them one by one the numerous evil deeds they had committed. He kept explaining how he was innocent and how he couldn't help himself...
These people are truly smart people who deeply understand how the weak survive.
Both Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect pride themselves on being righteous sects, and generally do not commit evil acts such as killing prisoners. Moreover, they surrendered voluntarily in public, and their surrender was full of sincerity.
Seeing the Huoyun Sect monks successfully retreating under their own noses, the Feihong Sect monks felt a fire in their hearts. They wanted to vent their anger on these prisoners, but there were still monks from the Taiyi Sect and the Mobei Qi Family present.
The face of the Zhengdao Sect is still valuable, and they still have to put on a show in front of outsiders.
The Feihong Sect accepted the surrender of these monks. How to punish them in the future is another matter.
Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect are temporary comrades, and some monks surrendered to Taiyi Sect.
There are also inextricable connections between the major forces in the Hanhai Dao Alliance and many surrendered monks.
These monks belonging to different forces not only surrendered on behalf of themselves, but also surrendered to Taiyi Sect on behalf of their respective forces.
These monks who took the initiative to surrender to Taiyi Sect had probably heard of Taiyi Sect's reputation.
These large sects may seem sanctimonious, but in fact they are all hungry wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones.
The lesser of two evils, Taiyi Sect seems less domineering than Fei Hong Sect.
Meng Zhang didn't think much of these monks, let alone the forces behind them.
Now is the time to join forces with the Feihong Sect to fight against the enemy. He is a little reluctant to accept these forces and is worried that the Feihong Sect has other ideas.
However, seeing the pleading looks of these monks, Meng Zhang thought of himself back then and the Taiyi Sect that had not yet risen.
This scene looks so familiar. Once upon a time, like these monks, I had to surrender to the strong. In order for the sect to survive, he had to go against his will and ask for help everywhere.
Meng Zhang's heart softened and he signaled to his disciples to accept the surrender of these monks and the surrender of the forces behind them.
As for how to deal with them and the forces behind them, we can only talk about it later.
Master Fei Shi glanced at the Taiyi Sect team with an unkind look and suppressed his dissatisfaction.
These Qiantou Grasslands were originally subordinates of Feihong Sect, but were later forced to surrender to Huoyun Sect.
Feihong Sect has never been a tolerant sect, and Master Fei Shi is not a good old man who doesn't care about past grudges.
If traitors are not severely punished, how can they demonstrate the majesty of Feihong Sect and warn others.
Regarding these traitors, Master Feishi has long had the idea of punishing them.
Do you really think that the Feihong Sect would let them go so easily because of the dignity of a well-known and upright family?
Now some of the monks and the forces behind them have surrendered to Taiyi Sect, which has greatly affected Master Feishi's plan.
He would not think that Meng Zhang was moved by sympathy. He would only think that Meng Zhang was remembering his past grudges and deliberately going against the Feihong Sect.
However, now is the time to employ people, and Meng Zhang has just shown strong combat effectiveness and established the victory.
Master Fei Shi could only suppress his dissatisfaction, keep this matter in mind, and not bother with Meng Zhang.
Regardless of whether they are monks who have taken refuge in the Feihong Sect or the Taiyi Sect, they are temporarily under the custody of the two sects.
The war is not over yet, it is not the time to let them go free.
Especially those monks who surrendered to Feihong Sect were subject to very strict supervision.
If they, the monks who surrendered on their own initiative, might still have a chance of survival, those guys who fled in all directions would have been sentenced to death in the heart of Master Fei Shi.
Receive prisoners, clean the battlefield, and rest the team. After doing all this, most of the day has passed.
The monks from Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect did not waste any more time and went straight to Feihong City not far away.
Feihong City, as the main city in the area ruled by Feihong Sect in the past, was once the most prosperous and lively place in the entire Endless Sand Sea.
After several ups and downs, this place has long since begun to slowly decline.
After the Fire Cloud Sect defeated the Feihong Sect and took control of Feihong City. Because the time is too short, the Huoyun Sect cannot take care of running this place.
Originally a large city with a mixed population of immortals and mortals, with a population of more than 100,000, it became deserted and almost turned into a ghost town.
The Fire Cloud Sect's invasion of the Endless Sand Sea is a completely predatory gesture.
They are probably the top brass of the Fire Cloud Sect, and they don’t know how long the Fire Cloud Sect can stay in the endless sand sea. The Huoyun Sect's army occupied this place not long ago, but they almost plundered the surrounding area.
All kinds of wealth accumulated in Feihong City over hundreds of years, and even the mortals in the city, were forcibly plundered by the Fire Cloud Sect and then returned to the sect's territory.
Although Jiuqu League is richer than the Endless Sand Sea, it is not too prosperous either.
Especially in this area near the endless sand sea, the environment is not very good, and the population is far from dense.
In the world of cultivation, mortals, especially a large number of mortals, are also a wealth.
The Fire Cloud Sect forcefully transports away the surrounding mortals, which is basically cutting off the foundation of the Feihong Sect.
What's more, many of these mortals are related to the Feihong Sect monks.
He watched helplessly as his mortal relatives were transported away by the enemy, and their fate and whereabouts were unknown. I am afraid that the morale of the low-level monks of Feihong Sect will also be greatly affected.
Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, Feihong Sect cannot care about matters that are too far away. The foundation of the sect and the mortal relatives of the disciples can only be put aside temporarily.
If the Fire Cloud Sect cannot be defeated as soon as possible and driven out of the endless sand sea, the Feihong Sect will be in big trouble.
After the Huoyun Sect's monk army retreated back to Feihong Mountain, the few Huoyun Sect monks stationed in Feihong City also voluntarily gave up here, retreated back to Feihong Mountain, and joined the main force of the sect.
Currently, only a small number of servant monks who serve as cannon fodder remain in Feihong City, and they are a bit at a loss.
Soon after the Huoyun Sect monks evacuated, the army of monks from Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect followed and rushed here.
Facing the scene of the army pressing down on the border, they had no intention of resisting at all and surrendered one after another.
The monks from Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect successfully took over Feihong City and jointly managed it temporarily.
The core city of his sect, the former ruling center of the endless sand sea, has turned into the dilapidated state it is today, and every Feihong Sect monk feels very sad.
What made them feel particularly humiliated was that they had to give in to the Taiyi Sect and let the Taiyi Sect monks take over many areas in the city.
Taiyi Sect is now an indispensable ally and has shown strong combat effectiveness. The Feihong Sect monks could only endure the humiliation and reluctantly accept the reality.
The biggest benefit of recovering Feihong City is that both Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect have a reliable foothold, and the consumption of the army can be greatly reduced.
Feihong City has a second-level high-grade spiritual vein. The spiritual veins cover a wide range, the spiritual energy is abundant and very pure.
Although Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect have many monks, the spiritual energy here is enough for them.
In this way, the two armies would not have to consume massive amounts of spiritual stones every day.
As a Jindan master, the spiritual energy here is still not enough. But after solving the needs of low-level disciples, the pressure on Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect was greatly reduced.
The resources stored by Feihong Sect can last longer, and Taiyi Sect also has a chance to breathe. Meng Zhang doesn't have to be too eager to ask for a battle.
Master Lieyun was struck by the Spirit Snake Spear, and Meng Zhang was confident in his own strength and the power of the Spirit Snake Spear.
Although he successfully retreated from the battlefield, it was very difficult for Master Lieyun to save his own life, let alone restore his cultivation.
No matter what panacea he has or what magical secrets he has, at least in this war, Master Lieyun is almost out of the game.
In this way, the Feihong Sect has an overwhelming advantage at the level of Jindan Zhenren. Even if Master Qi Nanfei continues to let loose, the other three Masters Jindan are still enough to defeat Master Chiyan and Master Anyun.
After retaking Feihong City and not taking a long rest, Master Fei Shi was eager to continue the attack to completely defeat the Fire Cloud Sect.
The army of Huoyun Sect monks huddled on Feihong Mountain, and they were also protected by a third-order mountain guarding formation.
As a defensive side, the advantage is too great. Even if they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, they can still hold on firmly.
Meng Zhang was not very sure about the upcoming battle.
To break through the enemy's heavily guarded third-order mountain guard formation, a protracted siege is needed to slowly wear down the enemy.
Of course, if you want to speed up the progress, you can also sacrifice a large number of low-level disciples in the sect and use their lives to consume the power of the mountain-protecting formation.
This was the method used by the Feihong Sect army when they attacked the Crow's Nest.
That tragic battle scene taught Meng Zhang a good lesson.
In his heart, he was extremely repulsive and disgusted with this approach.
