Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 643: Selects only



After thoroughly defeating the joint forces of the Ocean Alliance and Beast King Mountain, Hai Pofeng finally resolved his worries and could concentrate his full strength to besiege Red Rock Valley without any distractions.

Hai Pofeng's seemingly simple actions were well-timed and executed with great speed, earning praise from the venerable ancestor of the Merfolk Human Clan, Hai Duomou, who couldn't help but admire him. This time, the Sea Clan deployed all its hidden cards.

The Third Rank warships, these Mechanical Creations, are not commonly seen among the Sea Clan. If it weren't for this operation, Hai Pofeng would be reluctant to use so much of their reserves. In a one-on-one battle, a Third Rank warship would definitely not be a match for a Gold Core Daoist Master.

However, in large-scale battles, especially sieges like this, the Sea Clan's forces, relying on the Third Rank warships, could exert tremendous power. The Third Rank warships launched a relentless bombardment on the defensive great formation of Red Rock Valley from the sky, while the ground forces fiercely charged forward.

Despite lacking external reinforcements, the disciples of the Taiyi Sect within the great formation still maintained high morale. As a rapidly rising sect, the disciples were filled with confidence and not so easily suppressed.

Meng Zhang began mobilizing Taiyi Sect cultivators and gradually brought out various precious cards from their collection. Thanks to the Mother-Child Transmission Disc connecting Red Rock Valley and Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope, Red Rock Valley could be promptly supplied with both manpower and resources.

Taiyi Sect not only opened their large arsenal but also provided various combat supplies to the disciples defending Red Rock Valley. Additionally, the businesses established by Taiyi Sect in the Jiuqu League continuously delivered supplies and resources to Taiyi Sect.

After Niu Dawei and Wen Qiansun fled the battlefield, they were heavily injured and couldn't recover in a short time. The cultivator army of the Ocean Alliance had already dispersed, and the surviving remnants had lost their fighting spirit. Even if they were forcibly organized, they would not be able to contribute significantly.

As for Beast King Mountain, they were even less reliable. After suffering heavy casualties, Beast King Mountain didn't dare to engage in a major battle with the Sea Clan's army.

According to the agreement between Human Clan's Primordial Spirit and Sea Clan's Fourth Rank experts, the Human Clan side could not call for reinforcements from outside Demon Wind Gobi.

Now, they could only rely on the strength of Taiyi Sect alone to hold on.

The brutal war continued, and while Red Rock Valley appeared on the verge of collapse, it persisted. Every time the Sea Clan thought that Taiyi Sect could no longer hold on and that Red Rock Valley was about to be captured, Meng Zhang always surprised them, driving them back outside the gates.

Taiyi Sect was not passively defending; when the time was right, their Gold Core Daoist Masters would lead elite cultivators to launch counterattacks, repelling the enemy's relentless offensives.

Both the Sea Clan's army and Taiyi Sect suffered heavy casualties. Batch after batch of Taiyi Sect disciples were sent to Red Rock Valley, and many of them would never return.

After Niu Dawei and Wen Qiansun were injured, they did not linger outside and instead returned directly to the sect's mountain gate. After their return, they disregarded their future cultivation and forcefully took the Tiger-Wolf Medicine, temporarily suppressing their injuries using secret techniques.At this moment, Hu Jing, who had been guarding the sect's mountain gate, had already been teleported to Red Rock Valley and joined the great battle.

During the prolonged war, Taiyi Sect not only suffered heavy losses among its low-ranking disciples but even its Gold Core Daoist Masters were wounded one after another. Although there were no casualties among the Gold Core Daoist Masters for now, most of them were severely injured.

At this point, Red Rock Valley also appeared to be on the verge of exhaustion. The remaining Taiyi Sect disciples were almost all injured and exhausted.

Niu Dawei and Wen Qiansun tried various methods, resorting to both threats and temptations, and finally managed to gather a batch of cultivators from Demon Wind Gobi again.

If not for considering True Monarch Jin Li's opinion, Niu Dawei would have thought about calling for Jin Qiao'er's help. Jin Qiao'er was True Monarch Jin Li's most beloved disciple, and involving her in such a bloody battle would surely upset True Monarch Jin Li. If anything happened to Jin Qiao'er during the fight, the enraged True Monarch Jin Li would undoubtedly direct her anger towards Taiyi Sect. Even if Taiyi Sect somehow won this battle, it would not be worth the cost.

As someone who had received training from the Sect Master, Niu Dawei understood various social intricacies very well. He not only refrained from seeking help from Jin Qiao'er but also did not mobilize too many cultivators from Qiaoshou Sect.

However, other forces within the Ocean Alliance were not so lucky. Their elite cultivators were almost completely conscripted, depleting the entire foundation of the Ocean Alliance.

At this critical moment in Red Rock Valley, Niu Dawei and Wen Qiansun led this group of cultivators and teleported them over. With the support of this fresh reinforcement, the morale of the Taiyi Sect cultivators soared, leading to a powerful counterattack that not only repelled the Sea Clan's attacking forces but also allowed them to launch a retaliatory strike.

By this point in the battle, the Taiyi Sect's side had already shown signs of decline and exhaustion, and even the Sea Clan's army had suffered considerable damage, affecting their vitality.

Five Third Rank warships were present, with three destroyed by Meng Zhang and his disciples, and the other two were also damaged and had to temporarily retreat.

The tremendous losses suffered by the Sea Clan's army made the faces of the two venerable ancestors twitch uncontrollably, revealing an expression of pain. The casualties were all elite fighters, and they were losing their own strength and foundation.

The sea was not a peaceful paradise; it also had cruel battles. If their army suffered heavy losses, it would undoubtedly affect the survival of the Merfolk Human Clan and the Sea Patrolling Yaksha.

As a proud Dragon Clan member, Ying Gaofei had never put the lives and deaths of these lower races in his eyes. However, he relied on the two venerable ancestors in many places and had to consider their feelings. Moreover, this Sea Clan army was also the capital he relied on for future rise. Suffering such heavy losses here would undoubtedly hinder his grand plans.

The siege of Red Rock Valley had been going on for over a year, and it seemed that the day of success was still distant. Due to the concealment of the defensive great formation, Ying Gaofei couldn't yet determine the situation inside Red Rock Valley. He only knew that Taiyi Sect's reinforcements seemed to be continuous, never ceasing.

Every time Taiyi Sect lost a batch of disciples, new ones arrived to replenish their numbers. At this rate, it was difficult to see an end.

Unbeknownst to Ying Gaofei, who was also nearing exhaustion, he overestimated Taiyi Sect's strength at this moment. After Taiyi Sect repelled another wave of attacks from the Sea Clan's army, during a lull in the battle, Ying Gaofei flew over Red Rock Valley and directly challenged the Taiyi Sect cultivators below.

He proposed a one-on-one duel with the Taiyi Sect cultivators in the valley. If the Taiyi Sect cultivators won, then this battle would be considered a victory for Taiyi Sect, and the Sea Clan's army would stop the siege and immediately retreat. However, if Ying Gaofei emerged victorious, then the Sea Clan would be considered the winner of this battle, and Taiyi Sect would not only have to withdraw from Red Rock Valley but also provide compensation according to the agreement.
