Chapter 380: Pursuit

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey

Zheng Chao was originally a promising junior highly regarded by Meng Zhang. Despite facing setbacks, he has finally achieved Foundation Building, not disappointing Meng Zhang. Through these experiences, Zheng Chao has become more composed, and his character has been tempered.

Outside the mountain gate, the demon beast army didn't give the human side much time to rest. In less than half a day, the demon beast army launched another grand attack. The mountain's protective great formation was solid and powerful. With enough Foundation Building cultivators presiding over it, the great formation's potential could be fully utilized.

The fierce attacks from the demon beast army only left behind numerous demon beast corpses but no other significant results. With the protection of the great formation, the cultivators inside relied on its power to resist the enemies. At most, they felt tired and worked hard, without any casualties.

The failed demon beast army's attacks retreated like an ebbing tide. However, they launched several subsequent attacks, attempting to wear down the cultivators inside by using their numerical advantage.

Wen Qiansun took full command of the great formation and arranged for the cultivators inside the mountain gate to take turns resting and fighting. Despite multiple rotations, everyone was exhausted, and their true qi could not fully recover. Nevertheless, they managed to hold the mountain gate and prevent the demon beast army from breaking through the protective great formation.

Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning), the spirit pet released by Meng Zhang, patrolled the surrounding areas swiftly with its flying speed, focusing on the direction of Demon Wind Gobi. Four days later, Zhui Dian returned to the mountain gate through its connection with its master and successfully integrated into the protective formation.

Zhui Dian brought bad news that another demon beast army had emerged from Demon Wind Gobi and was heading towards them. This new army was slightly smaller than the current one but still a large and powerful force. Their progress was slow due to their sheer numbers.

According to Zhui Dian's estimation, it would take the new demon beast army around 1-2 days to arrive at their location. Upon hearing this information, Meng Zhang felt a heavy burden in his heart.

Though they had the protection of the great formation, the cultivators on the mountain were already struggling to fend off the current demon beast army. With the arrival of another strong force, there was a genuine risk of the protective great formation being breached.

Just as Meng Zhang was mobilizing the cultivators inside the mountain gate to prepare for the offensive, unexpectedly, the current demon beast army seemed to sense the arrival of human reinforcements. Surprisingly, they chose to retreat voluntarily.

Their retreat was in the direction of the other demon beast army that was on its way. The beasts were quite sensitive, and Meng Zhang cursed under his breath.

However, the demon beast army would be mistaken if they thought they could retreat so easily. They had underestimated the capabilities of the cultivators from the two sects.

Upon Meng Zhang's order, the cultivators inside the mountain gate actively left the gate and chased after the retreating demon beast army. The Refining Qi cultivators formed a battle formation and swiftly moved, attacking fiercely from behind.

The Foundation Building cultivators took to the sky, closely pursuing the demon beast army. There were not many flying-type demon beasts within this army, with only a Second Rank White-headed Eagle leading a group of around 200-300 beasts.

Although most Second Rank demon beasts possessed the ability to fly, they needed to remain with their army to utilize their collective strength and couldn't venture off far alone.

As the group of Foundation Building cultivators attacked, they launched a powerful assault and dispersed a part of the demon beast army before immediately retreating. When the Refining Qi cultivators in the rear arrived, they cooperated with each other to first eliminate the scattered and isolated demon beasts.

This tactic was safe and efficient. They suffered minimal casualties while inflicting continuous losses on the demon beast army. Over time, the losses for the demon beast army became considerable.

The Second Rank demon beast commanders in charge couldn't respond quickly enough.

It was akin to using a blunt knife to cut meat or boiling a frog in warm water, silently causing significant casualties to the enemy without them realizing it.
