Chapter 45: Sand storm

After returning to Taiyi Sect and realizing that he was being monitored outside, he didn't rush to go out. First, he refined the Fire Seal he had purchased in Singing Sand City, and then he patiently waited for the right opportunity within the sect. After more than half a month, Meng Zhang's awaited chance finally arrived.

Starting from the previous night, a fierce wind and a vast sandstorm swept through the area surrounding Taiyi Sect, covering hundreds of miles in all directions. Endless Sea of Sand, especially the region where Taiyi Sect was situated, was considered remote even within the vast desert plains. The surroundings were an endless expanse of desert, without even slightly elevated mountains, only sand dunes, let alone any forests or vegetation. Whenever strong winds blew, it stirred up the sand into a whirlwind, causing visibility to drop to zero, and the world seemed filled with sand. Such sandstorms occurred occasionally throughout the year and had become a prominent characteristic of Endless Sea of Sand.

Meng Zhang stood on a small square in front of the sect's main hall, gazing at the bleak scene outside. The entire sky was dark, filled with boundless yellow sand, with no gaps in sight. The roaring winds were chilling, and the sandstorm churned like turbulent waves in the sky. At this moment, Tian Zhen also arrived by Meng Zhang's side.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

"Is the protection formation around Sweetwater Oasis okay?" "The spiritual energy stored in the formation's nodes is abundant, and we have enough spirit stones to maintain its operation," Tian Zhen replied.

Taking advantage of the sandstorm's cover, Meng Zhang was already very close to the abandoned mine. The mine was backed by a hill hundreds of meters high, and its entrance went deep underground. The mine was said to have been dug very deep. The mine's exit was surrounded by several hills, concealing the entrance. Instead of directly entering through the mine's exit, Meng Zhang circled around and approached the abandoned mine from behind. Throughout this process, Meng Zhang occasionally used the Deception Breaking Eye to observe his surroundings, ensuring that nobody had discovered him. In such sandstorm weather, the observers were unlikely to persist, and even if they did, their vision wouldn't penetrate the sandstorm.

The sandstorm, although a disastrous weather phenomenon in Endless Sea of Sand, had become Meng Zhang's best cover. He reached the backside of the hill where the mine's entrance was located. After one last observation with the Deception Breaking Eye, Meng Zhang used the Earth Escape Spell talisman. His body disappeared into the ground, and he began traveling underground. Since the ground was entirely made up of tightly compacted rocks, the distance he could travel underground with the Earth Escape talisman was far from ten miles, and his speed was quite slow. Finally, Meng Zhang passed through the hill underground and entered the mine.

When the Earth Escape Spell ended, Meng Zhang's body reappeared on the surface. As soon as he exposed himself, he sensed a familiar aura he hadn't felt in a long time.
