Chapter 252: Subdue Rock

The flying boat landed on the ground, and the disciples of the Taiyi Sect set up camp near the Liu Family's mountain gate, with the flying boat as the center.

All the heavily injured disciples were properly taken care of, while those with minor injuries started to busy themselves after some casual treatment.

Meng Zhang and Deep EarthSpirit General entered one of the cabins of a flying boat. Deep EarthSpirit General took out Meng Zhang's storage ring, and he also had several storage bags obtained from the Liu Family.

The storage ring Meng Zhang confiscated from a disciple of the Yellow Lotus Sect was quite large, with a capacity more than ten times that of a regular storage bag.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Now, it was filled to the brim.

The appearance of the several storage bags held by Deep EarthSpirit General clearly differed from those of this side of the Endless Sea of Sand. However, they were small palm-sized pouches with a capacity far beyond that of ordinary storage bags.

These special storage bags were also filled with various gains.

As they carefully counted the loot, Deep EarthSpirit General narrated the process to Meng Zhang.

After parting ways with Meng Zhang, Deep EarthSpirit General went straight to the Liu Family's main treasury. Being aware of the limited time, he didn't stay there for long. He only selected precious spiritual materials and easily transportable items to take with him.

The focus of Deep EarthSpirit General's search was the Liu Family's Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

While Guang HongDaoist was busy clearing out the Liu Family's main treasury, Deep EarthSpirit General almost emptied the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, leaving behind only things of little value. In the end, he even had time to stage a scene, making it appear as though the Hidden Scripture Pavilion had been destroyed in battle.

By the time Guang HongDaoist finished cleaning the main treasury and rushed to clean the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, Deep EarthSpirit General had already left and continued his plunder within the Liu Family's mountain gate.

Meng Zhang couldn't help but speculate whether Deep EarthSpirit General had been a great thief in his younger days. His ability to plunder wealth was incredibly strong, almost sweeping away all the genuinely valuable items within the Liu Family's mountain gate.

Although the sand monster's nest was hidden deep underground, its depth was no more than 200 to 300 zhang (a unit of measurement). Furthermore, not all sand monsters were proficient in the Earth Escape Spell, so they needed to leave accessible entry and exit passages. Despite the thorough search by numerous cultivators, nothing was overlooked. The absence of the sand monster's nest in these two locations indicated that it was not located there.

Guang HuiDaoist called all the Foundation Building stage cultivators to gather within Liu Family's mountain gate for a discussion. After everyone assembled, without much ado, Guang HuiDaoist made a series of gestures in the air, conjuring a large map out of thin air.

The map displayed a clear representation of the surrounding area, including various terrains and the distribution of power. As Foundation Building stage cultivators, they were knowledgeable individuals. Although it was just an ordinary light and shadow illusion, when executed by Guang HuiDaoist, it carried no traces of artificiality, appearing entirely natural.

On the map, both Liu Family's territory and Green Bamboo Mountain's territory were confirmed to be devoid of the sand monster's nest and were marked out by Guang HuiDaoist. Adjacent to Liu Family's northern side was the territory of Forest Spring Watch. After a moment of hesitation, Guang HuiDaoist also marked it as unproductive.

To the south of Liu Family's territory lay Green Bamboo Mountain, which required no mentioning. To the west was the territory once belonging to Twin Success Valley, now occupied by Forest Spring Watch. In the east lay the territory of Flying Swan Sect, and to the northeast was the territory of Earthfire Sect.

Since the sand monster army had first appeared over Liu Family's territory, it was likely that their nest was nearby, even if not directly within Liu Family's territory.

After discussing with everyone, Guang HuiDaoist decided to send messages to the nearby Earthfire Sect and Flying Swan Sect, asking them to conduct their own searches near Liu Family's territory.

The area of particular focus for their search was the original territory of Twin Success Valley. Although Forest Spring Watch had taken over the territory long ago and had been actively managing it, the area was vast, and they lacked sufficient manpower to fully occupy all of it. The extensive desert region was beyond their reach.

If a sand monster nest was hidden underground in the parts of the territory still beyond Forest Spring Watch's control, it would be challenging to discover.

With the next step decided, there was no time to waste. Leaving only a few disciples from Forest Spring Watch to guard Liu Family's mountain gate, the teams from each sect immediately set out towards the original territory of Twin Success Valley.

Using flying boats, they quickly passed over Liu Family's territory and entered the original territory of Twin Success Valley. This time, as there was no need to divide their forces, the teams were stronger, and there was an ample number of Foundation Building stage cultivators.

Guang HuiDaoist decided to keep several disciples from Refining Qi stage at one location to be on standby while dividing all the Foundation Building stage cultivators into different groups to search the vast area separately.
