Chapter 552: Elimination
Chapter 552: Elimination
After leaving the battlefield, Meng Zhang flew directly back to meet Jin Li, the Daoist Master. Huang Tannian had died, and their side had lost a Gold Core cultivator. However, Huang Tannian was never truly committed to helping eliminate the Deadly Sea of Sand on their side. Instead, they used the power of Taiyi Sect to enter the Deadly Sea of Sand and search for Ye Feifan.
If it weren't for this opportunity, Huang Tannian wouldn't have dared to set foot in the Deadly Sea of Sand, even with the elite forces of the Huang Family. It's fortunate that Huang Tannian died, as the remaining 300-400 Huang Family cultivators can still be of use. Currently, with Taiyi Sect and others eliminating the Deadly Sea of Sand, there is a constant need for cannon fodder.
In front of Jin Li, Meng Zhang did not hide the conflict between Huang Tannian and Ye Feifan. He only mentioned that he had killed Ye Feifan and didn't bring up anything else. Both of them agreed on how to deal with the remaining Huang Family cultivators.
Therefore, the two immediately rushed to the temporary camp of the Huang Family and forcibly subdued all the Huang Family cultivators. According to Meng Zhang, when Huang Tannian, the patriarch of the Huang Family, led his people to hunt down the Demonic Cultivation, he fell into a trap and was killed by the Demonic Cultivation. All the Huang Family members should uphold the will of their patriarch and stand against the Demonic Cultivation. Now, Meng Zhang and Jin Li will lead them to eliminate the Demonic Cultivation and avenge the Huang Family patriarch.
What Meng Zhang said is not important; the power of the two Gold Core Daoist Masters is unquestionable, and no Huang Family cultivator would dare to argue with them. With the supervision of Meng Zhang and Jin Li, the team composed of Huang Family cultivators quickly left the area and rushed to join forces with Taiyi Sect and other sects.
After the merger, this group of Huang Family cultivators was forcibly disbanded and divided among the three forces, including Taiyi Sect. The Northern Desert Qi Family, which was already the weakest, suffered the most losses recently. Under the strong request of Qi Nanfei, the Daoist Master of the Northern Desert Qi Family, the team from the Northern Desert Qi Family received the most Huang Family cultivators.
Among them, the Huang Family cultivators certainly had objections and even wanted to oppose it. However, faced with the pressure of several Gold Core Daoist Masters, all objections were forcefully suppressed.
Next, this coalition of cultivators continued to eliminate the Deadly Sea of Sand and search for the nests of sand monsters.
According to the orders of True Monarch Tian Zhu, the most crucial task was to destroy all the nests of sand monsters. Losing all the nests of sand monsters meant that the Fifth Rank great power lost control over the Deadly Sea of Sand.
As they ventured deeper into the Deadly Sea of Sand, the resistance encountered by this coalition of cultivators became increasingly fierce. Finally, a Third Rank sand monster led a large army of sand monsters and engaged the coalition of cultivators in a frontal battle. Many Demonic Cultivations also hid in the dark and launched various sneak attacks.The coalition of cultivators was caught in a bloody battle, constantly fighting against both visible and hidden enemies. The originally large army of cultivators rapidly decreased in number and suffered increasingly heavy casualties.
First, the Huang Family cultivators, who were forced to fight, were consumed by the Gold Core Daoist Masters of the three forces. "Better a stranger die than a family member." In this process, a few Huang Family cultivators who couldn't bear it tried to escape but were dealt with by the Gold Core Daoist Masters with thunderous methods.
Everyone had experience in controlling and utilizing cannon fodder. After the Huang Family cultivators were exhausted, the loose cultivators hired by each force and various affiliated forces took their place, followed by the core members of the three forces.
After three years of continuous battles and countless hardships, the three forces of Taiyi Sect finally completely defeated the sand monster army in a head-on confrontation.
They then continued to hunt down the Demonic Cultivation hiding in the dark, which took nearly two more years.
The Gold Core Daoist Masters were puzzled. Demonic Cultivation had always been cunning, so why were they so stubborn this time? Even at the cost of their own lives, they were determinedto hinder the cultivator army and the three forces.
Could it be that the Fifth Rank great power had employed some clever means to completely control the group of Demonic Cultivations?
Regardless, since the Demonic Cultivations disregarded their own lives and posed a threat to the three forces, it was only natural for the three forces to pursue and completely eliminate them.
Meng Zhang, in particular, was deeply invested in the pursuit and extermination of the Demonic Cultivations after experiencing the benefits of killing Ye Feifan, a member of the Demonic Cultivation. With his divination skills, it was not difficult for him to track the movements of the Demonic Cultivations.
Among the various ambushes by the Demonic Cultivations, Taiyi Sect suffered the least losses. And under Meng Zhang's personal leadership in the pursuit, the highest number of Demonic Cultivations were eradicated.
However, despite killing so many Demonic Cultivations, Meng Zhang received minimal heavenly merits, almost imperceptible. If it weren't for his sensitivity as a diviner to heavenly merits, he would have thought that his efforts were in vain.
When he killed Ye Feifan, he had clearly received significant heavenly merits. Ye Feifan must have been a significant threat to this world, highly valued by the demonic realm.
The thought of being targeted by the demonic realm made Meng Zhang feel a headache. However, at this point, it was useless to dwell on it. Even if given another chance, Meng Zhang would likely make the same choice.
While everyone was pursuing the Demonic Cultivations, Meng Zhang received news from the rear. Wen Qiansun, who had been in seclusion in the sect, had finally successfully broken through and reached the Gold Core stage.
The addition of another Gold Core Daoist Master to Taiyi Sect was a cause for great celebration. If they were not on the battlefield but within the sect, Meng Zhang would have been unable to contain his excitement.
The news of Wen Qiansun becoming a Gold Core Daoist Master spread throughout Taiyi Sect, and the morale soared. The phenomenon that occurred when Wen Qiansun broke through to the Gold Core stage couldn't be concealed.
During his breakthrough, the entire Grand Lion Ridge was filled with extraordinary phenomena, creating a grand spectacle. Upon receiving the news of Wen Qiansun becoming a Gold Core Daoist Master, both the Flying Swan Sect and the Northern Desert Qi Family's high-ranking members were filled with envy and resentment.
Fei Shi, the Daoist Master of the Flying Swan Sect, specifically sought an audience with Jin Li, the Daoist Master, and argued that since Wen Qiansun had already formed his core, he should quickly join the frontline battle and not delay any longer.
Jin Li, clearly siding with Taiyi Sect, rejected Fei Shi's request. She stated that Wen Qiansun had just broken through to the Gold Core stage, and his foundation was weak, and his cultivation realm unstable. He needed time to consolidate his cultivation base.
Seeing that Jin Li was clearly standing with Taiyi Sect, Fei Shi could only leave helplessly.
After the relentless pursuit by the three forces, the hidden Demonic Cultivations were finally eradicated. With no external interference, the three forces could now focus on clearing the underground nests of sand monsters.
On the other side, the cultivator army led by the Yellow Lotus Sect's Mountain Branch completely defeated the sand monsters and Demonic Cultivations, and began the full-scale elimination of the underground sand monster nests.
After nine years since the cultivator army of the three forces entered the Deadly Sea of Sand, the entire area, except for a core region, was finally completely cleared.
