Chapter 248: Sinking

After Jin Qigu left, Meng Zhang also understood the situation. Firstly, after the decline of the Golden Blade Sect, the Qiaoshou Sect indeed needed to seek new allies. Secondly, Jin Qigu and her companions were probably worried about the possibility of their involvement in plotting against Ruan Dadao being exposed.

In the Cultivation World, many things can be done but not spoken of. If this matter were to be known, not only would the Qiaoshou Sect gain a bad reputation for scheming against an ally, but they would also face blame from the Forest Spring Watch and pay a hefty price. Meng Zhang had no intention of revealing this matter, as Ruan Dadao had no personal connection to him, so why should he engage in actions that harm others but not himself?

Now, the best outcome had come to pass: the Golden Blade Sect was on the verge of destruction, and the Qiaoshou Sect and Taiyi Sect had finally come together. Having decided to preserve their strength during this war, Meng Zhang did not actively engage the sand monsters.

Not only Meng Zhang and the Deep EarthSpirit General, but also many elite disciples of the Taiyi Sect, feigned serious injuries and hid inside the flying boats, not going out to confront the sand monsters.

Under the leadership of Guang HongDaoist, the joint forces of the three sects neither actively attacked the sand monsters nor left the area. They kept a distant watch on the movements of the sand monster army.

While the Liu Family's mountain gate was surrounded by the sand monster army, most of the sand monster's forces were focused on monitoring the three sects. Only a small part of the sand monsters could be spared to attempt an attack on Liu Family's mountain gate.

Liu Family's Patriarch, Liu Dahai, fought with all his might, personally leading the family to support and defend the mountain's great formation. The protective formation that Liu Family had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years was as solid as Mount Tai and remained unshaken during the sand monster attacks.

At the same time, Liu Dahai sent urgent messages for help to Guang HongDaoist's side, but he received no response. In desperation, he even directly sent a plea for assistance to the Flying Swan Sect.

Guang HongDaoist wasn't really ignoring Liu Dahai's pleas; he simply didn't want to engage in a battle with the sand monsters until the reinforcements arrived, to avoid another defeat. Furthermore, Liu Family's mountain gate seemed to be holding up well, so there was no need to rush.

However, from the Taiyi Sect's side, after a period of research, the Deep EarthSpirit General and Wen Qiansun finally understood the jade pendant on Liu Dajin's body completely. Deep EarthSpirit General modified a low-level charm on the jade pendant. Even if Liu Family revoked the pendant's access, he could still open the entrance to Liu Family's mountain gate's protective formation.

The thought of Liu Family being wiped out while he stood by made Guang HongDaoist anxious. He looked around and cautiously suggested, "Everyone, the Liu Family is under siege by the sand monsters. We can't just stand idly by."

"Why don't we try to rush out together and see if we can disperse the sand monsters and save Liu Family?"

Hearing his proposal, everyone's faces showed hesitation. Xu Yishan and Deep Earth Spirit General were seriously injured and could hardly move. Lin Shenpo and Meng Zhang had not fully recovered from their injuries. Even if they reluctantly joined the fight, they probably couldn't exert their full combat strength.

Only Zhao Jiudou, Guang HongDaoist, Aunt Jin, and Jin Qigu remained uninjured at the Foundation Building level. But charging into such a massive army of sand monsters would be akin to throwing themselves into a tiger's den.

Among the sand monsters on the other side, there were at least six or seven known Second Rank sand monsters, not to mention the numerous First Rank sand monsters.

While Foundation Building cultivators could easily defeat most Second Rank magical beasts, facing the fearless and ferocious Second Rank sand monsters might not guarantee victory.

Nobody present wanted to risk their lives to rescue the unrelated Liu Family. However, they refrained from voicing their opposition to Guang HongDaoist due to his position and influence within the affiliated sects.

Meng Zhang, who had secretly caused trouble, felt particularly uneasy.

Seeing the awkward silence, Zhao Jiudou lightly coughed and spoke, "The enemy's situation is unclear. If we act rashly and suffer another defeat, it may harm the overall situation."

"Moreover, we are too far from the Liu Family's mountain gate. By the time we get there, the sand monsters will have already annihilated Liu Family and will turn their attention to us."
