Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

After both sides reached an agreement, the remaining task was how to implement it. Jin LiTrue Monarch sent a message talisman, detailing the causes and consequences of the matter and the content of the agreement, to Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang, who was stationed in Red Rock Valley, successfully received Jin LiTrue Monarch's message talisman. After reading its contents, he first wore a wry smile on his face, followed by a wave of fear.

For many years, he had dominated the region, personally developing Taiyi Sect to its current state. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't proud and complacent. But because of his inflated ego, feeling extraordinary and looking down on everything, Meng Zhang made a grave mistake this time.

He failed to thoroughly investigate the Sea Clan's military situation before taking the initiative to mobilize the entire sect's strength for battle. What's even more unforgivable is that he didn't communicate with Jin LiTrue Monarch beforehand.

In the message talisman, Jin LiTrue Monarch didn't hide her discontent. She was the biggest supporter of Taiyi Sect at present, and losing her support would be catastrophic for the sect. If her dissatisfaction escalated, it would be a major disaster for Taiyi Sect.

Meng Zhang warned himself inwardly that he must learn from this lesson and never be so careless in the future.

Of course, he wouldn't dwell on past mistakes any longer. His immediate task was to defend Red Rock Valley with all his might. The agreement among the several powerful figures made Meng Zhang furious.

Since when did Taiyi Sect become someone else's bargaining chip? It seemed obvious to True Monarch Azure Mist and other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, but it infuriated Meng Zhang.

Outsiders would always be outsiders, and they couldn't be relied upon forever. As long as Taiyi Sect didn't have its own Primordial Spirit True Monarch, it would be under someone else's control.

Meng Zhang suppressed his anger and convened several Gold Core Daoist Masters within Red Rock Valley. He laid out the agreement between the powerful figures without any reservations.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters were all dissatisfied, but they were all people who knew what was important. After a few complaints, they quickly put this matter aside and discussed how to deal with the current situation together.

Regardless, Taiyi Sect couldn't afford to fail; they must hold onto Red Rock Valley. Otherwise, the cost of failure would be too high, and Taiyi Sect would undoubtedly suffer severe damage.

Since defending Red Rock Valley became a consensus, they began strategizing and decided to utilize the entire sect's resources for the defense. This crucial battle would leave no room for reservations. Besides the existing defensive measures, they would continue to strengthen their defenses. They would use all the treasures in the sect's treasury that could be of use.

While Jin LiTrue Monarch transmitted the message to Meng Zhang, the Sea Clan side also conveyed the latest information to the nearby Sea Clan army near Red Rock Valley.

After arriving near Red Rock Valley, the Sea Clan army had been reinforced by several Third Rank experts who arrived from various places, which significantly boosted their strength.

However, seeing that the Human Clan cultivators had already set up a Third Rank protective great formation and had a tight defense, Hai Pofeng, the commander of the Sea Clan army, did not act rashly.

Shortly after, Niu Dawei led the Hanhai Daoist League cultivator army and joined forces with the cultivators from Beast King Mountain, forming a coalition army. They followed closely and established their formation less than a hundred miles away from the Sea Clan army, waiting vigilantly.

Seeing that the cultivators in Red Rock Valley were not making any moves and had no intention to attack, Hai Pofeng originally planned to leave a detachment of troops to monitor Red Rock Valley's actions and concentrate the main force of the army to eliminate the Human Clan cultivators following them.

However, Ying Gaofei's order was for him to concentrate all his strength and quickly capture Red Rock Valley. As a noble True Dragon, Ying Gaofei was exceedingly proud. This time, he not only wanted to win but to win in a spectacular fashion.

The agreed-upon time was two years, but Ying Gaofei hoped that the Sea Clan army would take Red Rock Valley immediately and crush the two Human Clan Primordial Spirit True Monarchs with full force.

Hai Pofeng did not dare to disobey Ying Gaofei's command, so he had to abandon his original plan. However, with the Human Clan cultivator army so close, he couldn't just leave them be.

He drew some troops to form a detachment, many of whom were soldiers injured in previous battles with the beasts. He ordered this detachment to stay not far from the Human Clan cultivator army and closely monitor their movements. If the Human Clan cultivator army showed any signs of action, they were to promptly alert the main force and delay the enemy as much as possible.

Afterward, Hai Pofeng gathered the main strength of the Sea Clan army and surrounded Red Rock Valley.

Ying Gaofei was in a hurry, and the high-ranking Sea Clan members gathered to discuss the plan briefly. They decided not to make things too complicated and instead rely on the advantage of their numerical strength to attack forcefully and crush the enemy all the way. 𝐑ä𐌽о฿È𐌔

The battle quickly commenced, and the Sea Clan army didn't waste time slowly investigating the enemy's situation or testing their defenses. They launched a full-scale attack right away.

In front of Red Rock Valley, a Sea Clan army numbering over thirty thousand formed numerous army formations. Almost every army formation had at least one Third Rank expert in charge.

The Jiao Human Clan and the Sea Patrolling Yaksha clan were superior races, but their numbers in the army were limited. Most of their people served as officers at various levels or formed supervisory teams. The majority of the army was composed of lower-ranked races like fishmen, shrimp men, and crab men.

During major battles, these lower-ranked races were often the first to be sent as cannon fodder. Since their numbers were abundant and their reproduction rates strong, if they didn't consume a portion of them on the battlefield, they couldn't sustain their entire population.

However, the current Sea Clan army, having left the ocean and fighting on unfamiliar land, had carefully selected elites from various races. Compared to ordinary Sea Clan members, they were stronger in every aspect.

At Hai Pofeng's command, army formations approached Red Rock Valley from all directions and began their attack.

The Sea Clan army did not distinguish any specific key areas or directly search for weaknesses in Red Rock Valley's defenses. Instead, they relied on their absolute numerical advantage and launched a comprehensive assault from all directions, each attack being extremely fierce.

As the Sea Clan's Jiao Human Clan sorcerers started casting their spells, dark clouds immediately covered the sky, followed by a heavy downpour. The pouring rain drenched every member of the Sea Clan army, but it boosted their morale and significantly increased their strength.

Vast water waves surged above almost every army formation, sweeping directly towards Red Rock Valley. Countless water dragons soared into the air, crazily pouncing forward.

Sect Master Meng Zhang sat at the center of the great formation, overseeing the entire situation. Yang Xueyi, Zheng Chao, and the four Guardian Spirit Generals, along with six Gold Core cultivators, each guarded one of the Six Spirits Golden Light Formation's six eyes. Numerous elite Taiyi Sect cultivators spread out and stationed themselves at various points within the great formation.

Facing the fierce attack of the Sea Clan army, Taiyi Sect remained undeterred and systematically empowered the great formation, using its force to counter the onslaught.

The golden light surrounding Red Rock Valley became even more intense, almost as substantial as solid gold. From a distance, it seemed as if the entire Red Rock Valley had been cast in gold.

The surging giant waves and the descending water dragons directly collided with the golden light, shaking it for a moment, but it held firm. The waves and water dragons dispersed into a downpour.

Hai Pofeng, observing from afar, had no expression on his face. This was just the first wave of attack, and the Sea Clan army had even more powerful means to use.

Next, the Sea Clan army launched one tactic after another, launching a relentless assault on Red Rock Valley.

The Six Spirits Golden Light Formation was originally a Third Rank defensive great formation, and now it not only had enough Gold Core Daoist Masters presiding over it but also numerous Taiyi Sect cultivators working together within the formation.

No matter what tactics the Sea Clan employed or how fierce their attacks were, they couldn't fundamentally shake the great formation.

Taiyi Sect wasn't just sitting back and taking hits; the Six Spirits Golden Light Formation had some means of counterattacking, even though its offensive power was ordinary.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters guarding the formation's eyes seized opportunities to unleash the power of the great formation, releasing bursts of golden light that directly targeted nearby Sea Clan army formations.

Two of the closest army formations directly suffered the impact of the great formation's attack. The protective water screens outside the formations were shattered, and the golden light momentarily enveloped the Sea Clan soldiers. Many of them fell to the ground, spewing blood, their lives hanging in the balance.

This counterattack from the great formation was already anticipated by the Sea Clan's high-ranking members, and this small number of casualties was negligible.

The subsequent army formations reinforced their defenses, easily blocking the great formation's counterattacks.

The Sea Clan army formations took turns advancing and continuously launched attacks on Red Rock Valley, maintaining constant pressure on them.

Taiyi Sect was well-prepared for the fierce Sea Clan attacks, and relying on the power of the great formation, they were not worried at all.

The morale of the spirited Taiyi Sect cultivators was high, and with the great formation's protection, they engaged in a heated battle with the Sea Clan army.

On the first day of the battle, the Sea Clan army suffered numerous casualties, while the Taiyi Sect cultivators remained unharmed, sheltered behind the great formation.

However, as the war continued and the intensity of the battles increased, Taiyi Sect cultivators could not continue to remain unscathed. Before long, they started feeling the heavy pressure.
