There are only less than two months left before the deadline given by Tianzhu Zhenjun.
During this period, the three forces went all out and launched continuous attacks regardless of the cost or loss.
Although they achieved more or less some results, they paid a higher price.
Not to mention the material losses, the personnel losses alone are unbearable to look at.
Most of the cannon fodder monks were lost, and most of the remaining few were seriously injured. Even the monks who were lucky enough to be unharmed were all demoralized, like zombies.
The monks of the three factions themselves also suffered heavy losses. Speaking of the Taiyi Sect alone, even with the deliberate protection of the three Dharma Protector Generals, it still suffered heavy losses, and even several monks in the foundation-building period died in battle.
In the current Taiyi Sect, monks in the middle stage of foundation building are eligible to compete for the position of elder. The loss of several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators has already damaged their muscles and bones.
Even though Taiyi Sect is now a Jindan Sect, the number of monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage is still quite limited.
Fortunately, the lost foundation-building monks were mainly guest ministers in the sect, and the direct descendants of the sect who were favored by Meng Zhang were all saved with great efforts.
The Huoyun Sect monks basically suffered no casualties, and the third-level mountain-protecting formation, the Flame Earth Covering Formation, was not fundamentally damaged.
If the war situation continues like this, even if the monks from the three factions bleed out all their blood, they will not be able to do anything to the Huoyun Sect monks on Feihong Mountain.
The war didn't last long, but it was extremely cruel. The monks from the three factions all felt exhausted, and even the four Jindan masters were a little frustrated.
The effort is too great and the harvest is too little. How can we continue to fight this kind of battle?
If the material support is sufficient, we can still continue reluctantly. However, once the material supply cannot keep up, the casualties will only be greater and the results will be smaller.
In fact, Master Chi Yan was keenly aware of the enemy's weakness during the battle. If it weren't for the strong opposition of Master An Yun, who has a stable personality, I am afraid that Master Chiyan would have been ready to launch a counterattack.
No matter how great the losses of the three forces are, as long as Zhenren Jindan is not damaged, they will still have an advantage over the Fire Cloud Sect.
The Fire Cloud Sect can keep the enemy at bay with its third-order mountain guarding formation. If they take the initiative to go out and fight the enemy in the field, it may be a different situation.
The Huoyun Sect monks are as steady as an old dog, leaving no loopholes for the three forces. Without external intervention, the three forces would be unable to reverse the situation.
Although they still launch attacks habitually every day, the four Jindan masters know in their hearts that the hope of victory is getting slimmer.
Meng Zhang didn't know what others were thinking. In his heart, he had already begun to consider a retreat.
True Lord Tianzhu is true to his word. If he fails to complete his mission, Taiyi Sect will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the endless sand sea, and the foundation of Yaofeng Gobi will not be preserved. The next step for Taiyi Sect is to live in exile.
Not only Meng Zhang wanted to quit, but the other three Jindan masters were also obviously distracted and no longer focused on the battle.
Since there was no hope of victory, Meng Zhang was unwilling to continue doing useless work here and wasting the lives of his disciples.
Under his promotion, the attack on Feihong Mountain by the three forces' coalition began to slow down, and everyone consciously began to conserve their strength.
Nearly a month has passed, and it is less than a month away from the deadline given by Tianzhu Zhenjun.
The offensives of the three forces became weaker and weaker, and the four Jindan masters began to consider a retreat.
How to escape unharmed and continue the sect and family even after offending a True Lord of Yuanshen?
Just when the four Jindan Masters were panicking, Jinli Master came to them again.
Master Jin Li has worked hard for True Lord Tianzhu over the years, and is almost equivalent to being the spokesperson for True Lord Tianzhu.
Meng Zhang and the others thought that Jin Li was here to ask questions or to supervise the battle, so they all felt extremely guilty when facing Jin Li.
Fortunately, Master Jinli is here to help this time.
The little tricks that True Lord Xuanfeng did behind the scenes were not hidden from True Lord Tianzhu. The plight of the three forces on the battlefield had already reached his ears.
True Lord Tianzhu has always been competitive, and this matter is related to his hundreds of years of planning. Of course, he will not sit idly by and let the enemy make small moves behind his back.
Although he couldn't take action directly, Tianzhu Zhenjun still had ways to turn the tide of the battle.
Master Jin Li carefully took out a golden bamboo leaf in front of the four Master Jin Dan.
True Lord Tianzhu has a lot of treasures on his body, but it is really difficult to make a choice between having enough power to break the third-level mountain guarding formation and the flaming earth-covering formation, and being able to be controlled by True Lord Jindan.
In the end, the incarnation of True Lord Tianzhu took the initiative to break a finger and turned it into the golden bamboo leaf in front of him, even at the expense of his own cultivation.
In addition to this golden bamboo leaf, Master Jin Li also brought two third-order formation-breaking talismans.
The formation-breaking talisman is a very rare and precious talisman in the world of cultivation.
Refining the formation-breaking talisman requires the cooperation of a skilled talisman maker and formation master, and a lot of precious materials are spent to successfully refine it.
The first-level formation-breaking talisman may be purchased with some spirit stones, but the second-level formation-breaking talisman is difficult to buy. The third-level formation-breaking talisman is an important strategic material and will basically not appear on the market.
Taiyi Sect's Talisman Maker Yang Xueyi and Formation Master Wen Qiansuan once collaborated to refine the Formation Breaking Talisman. They spent a lot of effort to refine several second-level formation-breaking talismans.
The refining efficiency is very low and consumes too much material. From a cost perspective, it is not very cost-effective.
But the value of something like the formation-breaking talisman cannot be measured by spiritual stones alone.
Before the war started, the three forces anticipated that they might need to attack the third-order mountain guarding formation, so they all spent a lot of effort to obtain the third-order formation-breaking talisman.
Neither the Feihong Sect, which has a profound foundation, nor the Taiyi Sect, which has a close relationship with the Gu Yue family, succeeded.
Later, after he began to attack the Fierce Flame Earth-Covering Formation, Meng Zhang asked the Gu Yue family again.
I don’t know whether the Gu Yue family is unwilling to help, or they are really helpless, but Meng Zhang has never been able to obtain the third-level formation-breaking talisman.
Even a strong person like Jin Li, who is in the late stage of Jin Dan, has no way to obtain the formation breaking talisman. The two formation-breaking talismans she took out came from the collection of Zhenjun Tianzhu.
The four Jindan Masters, who were originally helpless against the third-level mountain-protecting formation and the blazing flames that covered the ground, saw the treasures that Master Jinli took out, and immediately their spirits were lifted, and their fighting spirit was once again ignited in their hearts.
During these days, Meng Zhang and the others were fighting hard on the battlefield, and Master Jin Li was not idle either.
She has been hiding in the dark, secretly observing the flame-covered formation, recording all the changes, and looking for various flaws.
Then, she returned to the Death Sand Sea and met with True Lord Tianzhu. After reporting to True Lord Tianzhu, she started discussing with True Lord Tianzhu.
With Master Jin Li's vision and Master Tianzhu's knowledge, he quickly came up with a strategy to break the formation.
Hence, Jin Li’s trip came.
She handed the things to Meng Zhang and the others and gave them instructions.
After Meng Zhang and others listened carefully, they dispersed and started various preparations.
The coalition forces of the three forces also temporarily stopped attacking and began to rest and recuperate.
Breaking the formation this time was of great importance. After Jin Li finished explaining, he did not stay away. Instead, he ran to a nearby mountain and stayed there, quietly watching the situation.
Three days later, the four Jindan masters who had adjusted themselves to the best condition arrived not far above the mountain protection formation early.
The top leaders of the three forces have already been specially warned.
Today, all the elites of the three families came out, and the top leaders of the sects went into battle one after another, leading many disciples to fight towards the mountain-protecting formation.
It seems that this attack is no different from the past. The cannon fodder monks are still taking the lead, and the direct monks from the three factions are supervising the battle and serving as a backup force.
Soon after the war began, the fighting became fierce. The monks of the Fire Cloud Sect controlled the flames covering the ground and performed a series of changes to keep all enemies away.
Outside the battlefield, Jin Li, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, suddenly frowned and scolded him unceremoniously.
"You fat pig, if you don't get out of here, I'm going to invite you."
Along with the scolding, a fat male monk who looked like a mountain of flesh appeared out of thin air.
He looked at Jin Li harshly and retorted: "Jin Li, you thief bitch still has such a bad mouth."
"If you're not convinced, we can practice, Master Zhu." Master Jin Li emphasized the word pig.
This male cultivator is a disciple of Zhenjun Xuanfeng, and his name is Zhu Liangyu.
Because he is as fat as a pig, his last name sounds similar to pig. So some Jindan masters who couldn't deal with him gave him the nickname "Pig Master".
Zhu Liangyu hated this nickname very much. As long as others didn't want to quarrel with him in person, the most they would do was yell at him behind his back.
As a master of the late Jindan period, and being in a hostile position with him, Jin Li was naturally rude to him.
When you are in a good mood, call him a real pig, and when you are in a bad mood, call him a fat pig.
Zhu Liangyu couldn't beat the opponent again and again, and every time he could only grit his teeth and endure.
This time, facing Jin Li's provocation, Zhu Liangyu did not flinch like before, let alone get angry. He laughed proudly.
"Jin Li, it seems that these three forces are helpless against the Fire Cloud Sect and cannot take back Feihong Mountain."
"Your master Tianzhu Zhenjun's plan has been shattered. How do you think he will punish you dog slaves for not doing things well?"
As a disciple of True Lord Xuanfeng, Zhu Liangyu is somewhat aware of True Lord Tianzhu's plan.
Over the years, he has participated in many plans against the Feihong Sect due to his master's orders.
As True Lord Xuanfeng, it is not easy for him to come forward to negotiate with the Huoyun Sect in person. He has always been the one to deal with the Fire Cloud Sect on behalf of his master.
During the many wars between the Huoyun Sect and the Feihong Sect, he was not only a bystander, but also a promoter.
Master Jin Li glanced at Zhu Liangyu with disdain and did not continue to use her words.
The scene that will take place next will soon teach Zhu Liangyu how to behave.
On the battlefield not far away, as the flames covered the ground with great power, the mountain-attacking monks from the three forces fell into a disadvantage.
Even the four golden elixir masters in the air seemed a little unable to resist.
After a long time, they finally caught a flaw when the flame-covering formation was undergoing a major change.
They have attacked many times, and based on Master Jindan's experience, they already have a certain understanding of this third-level mountain-protecting formation. Master Jin Li gave them instructions in advance and pointed out a clear path for them.
The opportunity is rare, and the treasure in their hands is only enough for one shot. If the attack fails, they will lose their last chance of victory.
The four Jindan masters who did not dare to neglect immediately took action without hesitation.
Wu Mingwei and Qi Nanfei suddenly rushed forward together and flew within the coverage of the mountain protection formation.
This is a very dangerous matter. Even if Jindan Zhenren really enters this position, his life may be in danger.
Upon seeing this, Master Chi Yan was preparing to activate the formation and activate its killing move. Even if they cannot be kept, they must be severely injured.
But Wu Mingwei and Qi Nanfei rushed to take action before Master Chiyan, and each cast a third-level formation-breaking talisman.
The two formation-breaking talismans each turned into a stream of light, and then shot directly onto the mountain-protecting formation.
The power of the two formation-breaking talismans caused problems in the operation of the entire mountain-protecting formation. The formation was stunned and temporarily stagnant.
The power of two formation-breaking talismans alone is not enough to completely break this flame-covering formation. At most, the formation can only be immobilized within a short period of time, making it unable to function.
The flames covering the ground suddenly opened the door, losing all defensive power.
The army of monks who were besieging the mountain-protecting formation had their morale boosted. Under the leadership of the three guardian generals of Taiyi Sect, they launched a charge towards Feihong Mountain.
Master Chi Yan and Master An Yun began to circulate their true energy, hoping to dispel the power of the formation-breaking talisman and restore the operation of the mountain-protecting formation as soon as possible.
The defensive monks of the Fire Cloud Sect mobilized one after another and stood ready, ready to fight the charging enemies at any time.
At this time, without the cover of the formation's power, Meng Zhang used his Dharma Eyes to pierce the illusion and found the location of the formation's eye of the flame-covering formation according to Jin Li's previous instructions.
Master Feishi and Meng Zhang injected their true energy at the same time, activating the golden bamboo leaf in Meng Zhang's hand. Then Meng Zhang raised his right hand high and fiercely shot out the bamboo leaf.
After delivering this blow, Meng Zhang seemed to have been drained of all his strength and fell to the ground weakly.
The golden bamboo leaves turned into sharp arrows, which shot toward the center of the formation like lightning.
Including the two Jindan Daoist disciples, many of the cultivators of the Fire Cloud Sect who maintained the formation had no time to react.
After an earth-shaking loud noise, the entire flame-covered formation began to collapse.
This time it was not a temporary failure of the formation, but a complete collapse of the entire formation, which could never be restored.
With the collapse of the mountain-protecting formation, many Huoyun Sect monks who were maintaining the operation of the formation were also affected.
A monk was shocked to the point of bleeding from his orifices, and collapsed to the ground helplessly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
