Chapter 290: Development

Wen Qiansun's life and death may be insignificant, but it would be detrimental if it were to interfere with the important matters of the Flying Swan Sect.

As Meng Zhang spoke, he handed the list to Fei Hongzi, highlighting the magic tools that Wen Qiansun had chosen. Fei Hongzi couldn't help but be amused by Meng Zhang's shameless demeanor.

The list provided by Meng Zhang consisted of items that were all at least Second Rank. Many of these treasures were so valuable that no amount of spiritual stones could afford them. Prior to this, the Flying Swan Sect had already provided a large amount of resources to support the Taiyi Sect. Although these war supplies were only First Rank, the sheer quantity made it impossible for the Taiyi Sect to purchase them even if they abstained from eating and drinking for several years. Furthermore, even if the Taiyi Sect could produce enough spiritual stones, they lacked a reliable channel for bulk purchases.

Putting aside the few spiritual objects that Fei Hongzi initially gave to Meng Zhang, Fei Hongzi was starting to get irritated by Meng Zhang treating the Flying Swan Sect as his personal warehouse and making demands. Meng Zhang immediately sensed the change in Fei Hongzi's mood and began showering him with flattery and compliments.

In summary, Meng Zhang claimed that his request for these items was not for personal gain but to enhance the combat capabilities of the Taiyi Sect, enabling them to better fulfill the tasks assigned by the Flying Swan Sect.

In the end, Fei Hongzi was left with no choice but to tolerate Meng Zhang's shameless persistence and reluctantly handed over three magic tools to him. Fei Hongzi, who had been wearing a cold expression all along, couldn't remember how many times he had said, "This is an exception, and it won't happen again."

Since the operation had already begun, it was impossible to stop it now. This was the most valuable moment for the Flying Swan Sect in relation to the Taiyi Sect. If the Taiyi Sect were to leave, the carefully planned operation of the Flying Swan Sect might end in failure.

Of course, both parties had already made a solemn vow, and the Taiyi Sect would not go back on their word or board the Forest Spring Watch.

However, Fei Hongzi was concerned that the Taiyi Sect might not contribute their full effort, which could affect the upcoming major battle. This operation was of great importance and could not tolerate the slightest mistake.

Outside, the Flying Swan Sect's plan was proceeding as planned. Shortly after the three Daoist Masters entered the Demon Wind Gobi, Land Walk Sect and Earthfire Sect had a major dispute over a piece of underground mineral deposit.

Like Earthfire Sect, Land Walk Sect was nominally a vassal of the Flying Swan Sect but had a high degree of independence and was more like a feudal lord. Land Walk Sect disciples were proficient in earth-based spells, especially the Earth Escape Technique. In the Endless Sea of Sand, Land Walk Sect was known for their ability to dig and tunnel.

They fully utilized their own techniques and often went underground to explore mineral deposits, occasionally reaping significant rewards. Later on, many sects and families would hire Land Walk Sect to explore mineral deposits on their land. Especially for some cultivation forces with few personnel, they would often entrust Land Walk Sect to mine their own mineral deposits and wait for the dividends.

Land Walk Sect had mined a large amount of mineral deposits and was one of the largest mineral suppliers in the Endless Sea of Sand. As time passed, Land Walk Sect became increasingly dissatisfied with merely providing mineral materials and began to vigorously cultivate tool refiners within the sect, hoping to become a refining sect like Earthfire Sect.

As a result, there was a conflict of interest between Land Walk Sect and Earthfire Sect. The cause of this dispute was simple: disciples from both sects discovered a scarlet copper mine near the boundary between the two sects.

Neither side was willing to back down, and both claimed that the scarlet copper mine belonged to their respective sects. From the initial dispute, it quickly escalated into a heated argument. Earthfire Sect disciples were already hot-tempered and easily provoked. In a fit of anger, they were the first to take action.

Once they started fighting, the intensity of the dispute was out of control. After a melee, both sides suffered casualties. Land Walk Sect believed that Earthfire Sect disciples had started the fight and that they were in the right. Therefore, Land Walk Sect demanded that Earthfire Sect cede the scarlet copper mine and hand over the injured disciples.

Before Daoist Master Roaring Blazeform the core, Earthfire Sect was a thorn in everyone's side that no one dared to provoke. Earthfire Sect had always been the one bullying others, and no one had ever dared to challenge them. Since Daoist Master Roaring Blazeform the core, Earthfire Sect had become a Gold Core sect. Although due to Daoist Master Roaring Blaze's orders, Earthfire Sect disciples deliberately kept a low profile and suppressed their temper, they still had great pride in their hearts.

Now that Land Walk Sect had made such a demand, Earthfire Sect naturally would not agree. Who do you think you are, Land Walk Sect? Do you really think you're the Flying Swan Sect? Trying to bully Earthfire Sect is simply overestimating yourselves.
