Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 549: Magic Trail
Many monks began to become slack, and their willingness to fight was naturally greatly affected.
The other three forces were a little better. It was the Huang family's army of monks. Not long after they left the Black Wind Cemetery, there was an obvious feeling of war weariness among the monks.
Although they did not dare to openly oppose Huang Tannian, the ancestor of the Huang family, they were inactive and sabotaged in various ways, which made Huang Tannian a little helpless.
So, Huang Tanqian went to see Master Jin Li and said that the monks of the Huang family needed to stay and slowly reorganize themselves before they could fight again.
Since entering the Death Sand Sea, among the four armies of monks, the Taiyi Sect and the Feihong Sect have suffered little losses, while the Mobei Qi family suffered the heaviest casualties due to the last sneak attack. Now that the Huang family monks want to leave the team, Jin Li is a little reluctant.
However, the Huang family monks came to join the battle with their own rations and were not her subordinates. She was ordered by True Lord Tianzhu to command only the Taiyi Sect and other forces.
Zhenren Jinli did not want to forcefully oppress the Huang family, so she agreed to the request of Huang Tannian, the ancestor of the Huang family.
So, the armies of monks from Taiyi Sect, Feihong Sect, and Mobei Qi Family continued to advance, while the Huang Family monks stayed in place, and Huang Tannian carried out the reorganization.
It has been quite some time since the armies of the four forces entered the Sea of Death to fight. All forces strive to maintain contact with the rear and obtain intelligence from the rear at any time.
Although the Taiyi Gate Secret Hall was not established for a long time, Meng Zhang was willing to invest resources, and An Moran himself was indeed very talented in this area. When it comes to intelligence capabilities, Dark Hall is not necessarily worse than Feihong Sect, which has experienced many catastrophes.
Especially in the Jiuqu League, Taiyi Sect currently has a good relationship with the Gu Yue family, and can obtain information about Gale City through the Gu Yue family at any time.
Although it was all ordinary information, and it had to be dealt with by the Gu Yue family first, it after all broadened the Taiyi Sect's horizons.
Due to Luo Ye Zhenren, the black markets of Taiyi Sect and Jiuqu League also cooperated a lot. As long as you pay enough, you can get a lot of valuable information from the black market.
Just some time ago, a very important piece of information came from the Taiyi Gate Secret Hall from behind.
Shortly after True Lord Yue Feng led an army of monks to invade the Sea of Death, he was intercepted by an army of sand monsters.
The army of sand monsters led by third-level sand monsters is endless, and there are also demon cultivators to assist in the battle. There are even golden elixir stage demon cultivators.
However, True Lord Yue Feng did not appear in the army of monks. The army of monks composed of the Huanglian Sect's Shanyue Branch, the Hedong Branch and the Heming Sect fell into hard battles.
By the time Meng Zhang received the information, the war was not over yet. The battle between the two sides became increasingly fierce, with heavy casualties.
In order to obtain this information from the black market, Taiyi Sect paid a heavy price. This piece of information is also very meaningful to Meng Zhang.
The enemy's power is indeed very strong. If Zhenjun Yue Feng hadn't attracted most of the enemy's power first, then it would be the Taiyi Sect and other sects that would be in a tough fight now.
Especially the appearance of the golden elixir stage demon cultivator made Meng Zhang secretly vigilant.
Meng Zhang thought for a moment and did not hide the information. Instead, he found Jin Li and shared the information with her.
After hearing this, Jin Li’s reaction was similar to that of Meng Zhang. She is also very afraid of the demon cultivators in the Golden Core stage.
According to her statement, the fifth-level powerful man who allowed demon cultivators and ghost cultivators to settle in the Sea of Death probably regarded it as a back-up move.
Firstly out of necessary vigilance, and secondly out of concern for True Lord Tianzhu's reaction, both ghost cultivators and demonic cultivators were forcibly suppressed, and golden elixir stage cultivators were absolutely not allowed to appear.
Now it seems that he could not withstand the pressure of True Lord Tianzhu. The fifth-level powerful man made a choice and completely merged with the demon cultivator.
Allowing the demonic cultivators to annex the ghost cultivators, and allowing the demonic cultivators to break through to the golden elixir stage, is all to increase the strength of their side as quickly as possible.
Before this, True Lord Tianzhu, as True Lord of Yuanshen, would not take a group of foundation-building monks seriously at all, so he tolerated the existence of demon cultivators and ghost cultivators.
The appearance of a golden elixir-level demon cultivator is a mistake on his part, and he has created a powerful enemy for the monks under his command out of thin air.
Meng Zhang knew that the fifth-level powerful man was a fifth-level earth spirit from outside the sky. The inheritance of demon cultivators was not born in this world, but also came from outside the world.
Meng Zhang didn’t know how the inheritance of the demonic path took root in this world, let alone what the world outside the world looked like.
However, he guessed that the fifth-level earth spirit and the demon cultivator were colluding together, and there must be many unknown secrets involved.
Meng Zhang and Jin Li talked for a long time before they separated.
After returning to the army, Meng Zhang calmed down, used the Dayan Divine Calculation and began to calculate.
Of course he is not speculating on the affair between the demon cultivator and the fifth-level earth spirit. He is not stupid enough to ask for trouble. What he is calculating now is Huang Tannian's situation.
Use Tianji Technique to make calculations. The higher the level of calculation, the more difficult it is to obtain clear information. Huang Tannian and Meng Zhang were both Golden Core monks, and Meng Zhang spent a lot of effort to calculate a rough result.
He thought for a while, then called Yang Xueyi and asked her to continue leading the army forward, while he wanted to leave secretly for a while.
Anyway, the main force of the enemy is not here. What the several forces are doing is basically time-consuming water grinding work, and there is no need for Jindan Zhenren to keep an eye on it all the time.
With Yang Xueyi, a Jindan real person, sitting in the army, it is enough to deal with unexpected situations.
After Meng Zhang finished explaining, he secretly left the Taiyi Sect monk army and rushed towards the place where the Huang family monks stayed alone.
As for the Huang family, after Huang Tannian ordered the monks at home to stop and rest, the Huang family's flying boat team landed on a piece of flat land, and then established a simple camp with many restrictions placed around it.
Under Huang Tannian's order, the monks in the family basically stayed in the temporary camp and were not allowed to go out easily.
Most of the behavior of the Huang family monks some time ago was due to Huang Tannian's deliberate connivance. The family monks did not dare to disobey his orders.
After waiting for several days, it was estimated that the monks from the other three families had left here. One night, Huang Tannian led a group of family monks to secretly leave the temporary camp and flew towards the north.
After flying for more than three hundred miles, they stopped and landed on the ground.
Huang Tannian stepped out from the crowd, walked to an open space in front of him, took out a half-length incense stick from his arms, lit it gently, and then inserted the incense stick on the ground.
Huang Tannian said nothing and just waited silently.
It looks like only a short length of incense, but it is surprisingly resistant to burning. After more than an hour, only a small amount was consumed.
Time passed slowly like this. After more than three hours, accompanied by a gust of wind, a black shadow came quickly from a distance.
The black shadow came with the wind and fell to the ground, revealing Ye Feifan's figure.
"It's you, you're not dead." Huang Tannian's expression was complicated and his tone was low.
"Back then, I thought you had escaped early. I didn't expect that you would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and use blood parasitism to be reborn in a blood descendant."
"You should be glad that I, considering my old friendship, did not kill all your Ye family members and cut off your bloodline inheritance."
After hearing Huang Tannian's words, Ye Feifan had a look of disdain on his face.
"You old ghost, it's not that you care about old friendships, you don't know my life and death, and you want to keep my Ye family members to see if I will show up."
Huang Tannian did not continue the topic and went directly to the topic.
"Don't mention the past anymore. Since you came at my call, you must still want to communicate with me."
"Well, as long as you hand over your things, I can make a ghost oath to cancel all my grudges with you and never pursue you again."
Ye Feifan couldn't help laughing. Huang Tannian's seemingly magnanimous words were all nonsense in his eyes.
"It's rare that you, an old ghost, have the heart to still retain the fragrance of the letters we used to communicate with each other."
"Huang Laogui, you think I sensed Xinxiang's location and rushed over immediately because I wanted to make a deal with you."
"Old guy, I want your life."
This time, it was Huang Tannian's turn to laugh.
“Those who don’t know how to live or die, think that by joining a ghost cultivator and learning some inferior ghost magic, they can challenge me.”
After Ye Feifan escaped from Dafeng City, Huang Tannian conducted an in-depth investigation.
A useless monk in the early stage of Qi refining suddenly showed enough combat power to kill a monk in the foundation building stage. This is definitely not an accident or something that can be explained by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
There is a process for cultivating a monk. Even if you are a heretic, it is difficult for you to achieve so much in one fell swoop.
After the news of Ye Feifan escaping into the Death Sand Sea and colluding with ghost cultivators came out, Huang Tannian synthesized various information and finally concluded that he had probably used the bloodline parasitism method.
Nearly two hundred years ago, Huang Tannian had not yet formed an elixir, and he and the ancestor of the Ye family were both foundation-building monks.
The Ye family is a vassal family of the Huang family, and the ancestor of the Ye family is also the most powerful monk around him.
The two later turned against each other because of a senior cave. The ancestor of the Ye family was seriously injured and escaped, but took away the token that opened the cave.
Huang Tannian later used many methods to make the Ye family decline. He has been keeping the Ye family members under close surveillance, hoping that the escaped ancestors of the Ye family would not be able to resist contacting the Ye family members.
He never expected that the ancestor of the Ye family would be so cruel and ruthless that he would use bloodline parasitism to rebirth his descendants.
Although he had long known that Ye Feifan was hiding in the sand sea of death, Huang Tannian did not dare to enter here.
This time Jin Li Zhenren summoned several forces to attack the Death Sand Sea. Huang Tannian ignored the opposition of the clan, forcibly subdued the clan members and led the Huang family monks to join the battle.
He found no clues about Ye Feifan's whereabouts in the Black Wind Cemetery, so he had no choice but to use the incense of the two's early contacts to try to contact him.
He didn't expect that it would go so smoothly, and Ye Feifan would appear in front of him easily.
Huang Tannian did not know that Ye Feifan later fell into the devil's path, colluded with demon cultivators, and betrayed ghost cultivators.
In his eyes, so what if Ye Feifan learned a little bit of ghost magic. As long as he doesn't break through to the golden elixir stage in one day, he will definitely not be his opponent.
Given the conditions of the Death Sand Sea, it is difficult for ghost cultivators in the Golden Core stage to appear.
Huang Tannian was too lazy to say anything to Ye Feifan, a guy who didn't know how to live or die, but gave the order directly.
"Just take him down and keep his life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the seven Huang family monks behind Huang Tannian stepped forward and formed a magic circle according to the directions of the seven stars.
As a family that has been in Dafeng City for many years, the Huang family still has some heritage.
Seven foundation-building monks set up a seven-star soul-locking array, which can give full play to the strength of the monks in the array. Moreover, this formation is specifically designed to restrain ghost cultivators. Even if it is against a ghost cultivator at the golden elixir stage, it can fight for a while without falling behind.
Huang Tannian is watching eagerly from the side and can take action at any time.
In his opinion, even if Ye Feifan was unlucky, he would at most be a ghost cultivator in the fake elixir realm. He doesn't even have to take action himself, this group of subordinates alone can make him unable to resist.
With the enemy outnumbered, Ye Feifan not only showed no fear at all, but instead gave Huang Tannian a strange smile.
An unexpected thing happened. The seven Huang family monks who had set up the seven-star soul-locking array suddenly started fighting among themselves.
Two of the Huang family monks suddenly attacked the other companions.
The seven monks set up a magic circle together, connected with each other, and they were very familiar and close to each other. They would never have imagined that they would be betrayed and attacked by their companions.
Caught off guard, the five monks were knocked to the ground one after another, unable to sustain any injuries.
Huang Tannian, who was still very relaxed at first, could not help but change his face. He pointed at Ye Feifan and asked: "What the **** are you doing? What have you done?"
Frightened and angry, he did not dare to take action immediately.
Ye Feifan ignored Huang Tannian, but with a flick of his hand, a line of black energy swept over the five Huang family monks on the ground.
The injuries to the five monks on the ground were not serious. It was not that the person who took action showed mercy, but that Ye Feifan had other plans.
At this time, Huang Tannian finally reacted.
"Demon energy, are you a demon cultivator?"
Most cultivators in the world of cultivation are inexplicably wary or even afraid of demonic cultivators, and Golden Core Masters like Huang Tannian are no exception.
Seeing Huang Tannian start to cower, Ye Feifan pushed forward and immediately pounced on him.
He was full of black energy, and the black energy turned into tentacles all over the sky, twisting and twitching continuously, surrounding Huang Tannian.
Huang Tannian was also a Jindan master after all. His panic quickly calmed down, and he immediately reacted and started to take action.
Once he got involved, he realized how difficult Ye Feifan was.
The opponent's strength is clearly that of a golden elixir stage monk, and his skills are deep and secret. The magic methods Huang Tannian used were of little use.
The two fought against each other for only a short while before Huang Tannian was forced to a disadvantage.
As a veteran Golden Elixir monk, he had never been so embarrassed.
When Ye Feifan forced Huang Tannian, the two Huang family members he controlled kept slapping and clicking on the other five Huang family monks on the ground.
In just a moment, the faces of the five Huang family monks were filled with black energy and their eyes turned red.
Huang Tannian glanced at it accidentally and became even more angry.
"The thief is so brave, he actually dares to demonize me, the Huang family."
