Chapter 388: Truce

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

After defeating the demon army, the cultivators of Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect worked diligently for a whole month to clean up the battlefield and basically clear out the large groups of demons in both territories.

Despite their best efforts, there were still some small groups of demons roaming the sects' territories and even escaping to nearby areas. As for the isolated demons, their numbers were even greater. These demons posed a significant threat to the nearby oases, endangering both ordinary people and low-ranking cultivators.

Relying solely on the disciples of the two sects, it was not an easy task to completely cleanse such vast territories in a short period.

In Singing Sand City and Firewell Market, many loose cultivators stayed behind. Both sects offered rewards to encourage these loose cultivators to join the expedition teams to hunt down the fleeing demons. Killing demons not only yielded spoils of war but also allowed them to claim rewards from the sects. Why would they not take up this opportunity?

Consequently, groups of loose cultivators left the market and headed to the surrounding areas to hunt down various demons.

Originally, according to Zhao Liefeng's orders, Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect should have immediately rushed to the frontline to join the battle against the Flying Swan Sect and the demon army. However, both sects suffered heavy losses, and their cultivators were exhausted. After such a long period of recuperation, they were still not fully restored.

Furthermore, after experiencing two bloody battles in succession, Meng Zhang and others also harbored the intention to avoid further conflict and were unwilling to engage in another life-and-death battle on the frontline for the Flying Swan Sect.

Thus, Meng Zhang used all sorts of methods to delay the time and didn't move towards the frontline for a long time. There was no need to fabricate any excuses; the reasons were readily available.

Many demon groups had not withdrawn and were still facing off against the cultivators of the two sects. A large number of demons had even invaded the territories of the two sects, causing significant damage. Both sects needed to spend a considerable amount of time and effort to eliminate these demons.

In short, Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect were both tied up by the demons, unable to spare any manpower or resources to support the frontline.

Just as Meng Zhang continued to find ways to delay and avoid engaging in battles with the demon army, the situation on the frontline where the Flying Swan Sect and the demon army clashed underwent a change.

In a sudden outbreak of bloody fighting, with the support of others, Fei JiangDaoist Master paid a heavy price by being severely injured but managed to kill the Third Rank giant python.

The two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Qi Family had no intention of pursuing, while Fei ShiDaoist Master, with no backup, could only watch as the sworn enemies of his sect left so easily.

Thus, the conflict in the Endless Sea of Sand came to a temporary truce.

In a large desert not too far from the borders of Fire Cloud Sect and Flying Swan Sect, Jin LiDaoist Master, who had been wandering there all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving news of the ceasefire from the rear.

She took out a scroll and shook it vigorously. When she opened the scroll, it revealed a painting of the Ten Thousand Li Desert. In the vast expanse of yellow sand, one could see some small black dots moving around.

Jin LiDaoist Master spread the entire scroll in the air and performed a spell to activate it.

After a while, the Fire Cloud Sect disciples who had been trapped in the painting for many days suddenly felt their vision blur, and they found themselves in a different world, back outside.

During the inexplicable period of being trapped in the painting, the Fire Cloud Sect disciples had used all their strength and various methods but couldn't escape.

These disciples, coming from major sects, may not have had impressive cultivation bases, but they were insightful. They quickly realized that they had been trapped in a small independent world using extraordinary methods.

Having brought ample supplies for this expedition, the cultivators were quite resilient. Although they felt somewhat mentally fatigued after being trapped for so long, they hadn't suffered any other harm.

Upon escaping the painting, the Fire Cloud Sect disciples knew that they had encountered an unmatched expert. Therefore, they didn't dare linger and immediately fled back to Fire Cloud Sect.

Seeing the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators escape, Jin LiDaoist Master also breathed a sigh of relief.

If these cultivators had stayed or continued forward, she wouldn't have any good ways to stop them. Entrapping them in the Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Li Chart was already the limit. Trying to interfere further would only bring unnecessary trouble.
