Chapter 389: After the War

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

Fire Cloud Sect cultivators voluntarily withdrew, which was the best outcome for Daoist Master Jin Li. He looked into the distance, sighed, and quickly left the area.

For now, the events that occurred here have not been transmitted to the Flying Swan Sect.

Upon receiving the news of the retreat of the monster army and the restoration of peace on the frontlines in his own territory, Meng Zhang, a cultivator of the Taiyi Sect, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not only him but almost all cultivators from the Taiyi Sect were greatly relieved and overwhelmed with joy. Finally, they would no longer be conscripted by the Flying Swan Sect and forced to fight the monster army on the frontlines.

In this great war, both Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect suffered heavy losses, but they also gained substantial rewards. Besides the numerous monster corpses, they managed to seize the territory of Earthfire Sect, a significant gain. Though Flying Swan Sect managed to repel the monster army's invasion, they suffered heavy losses, and even their mountain gate was destroyed. Now, they were busy restoring their vitality and rebuilding the mountain gate, leaving them little time to attend to other matters.

The Earthfire Sect was too far away from the Flying Swan Sect, and they temporarily lacked the capability to manage it. Even the former Twin Success Valley and Green Bamboo Mountain had insufficient manpower from the Flying Swan Sect to oversee them. Currently, only a few Taiyi Sect disciples remained in those places, taking care of the spiritual fields and picking up debris from the ruins.

It seemed that Flying Swan Sect was starting to contract its forces, abandoning many peripheral strongholds and consolidating all its power within its core territory. The losses they suffered were too devastating, leaving Flying Swan Sect weakened and vulnerable.

At this time, Flying Swan Sect needed to concentrate its strength to face the challenges that lay ahead. Although the monster army had temporarily retreated, they still had their main forces intact and could return at any moment. Moreover, the inexplicable withdrawal of the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators raised uncertainty about their potential return.

Even the Northern Desert Qi Family, which had just helped Flying Swan Sect, was not to be trusted. Their true intentions were unclear, and they could pose a threat to the weakened Flying Swan Sect, making it difficult to confront external enemies or even suppress Northern Desert Qi Family.

Within the Taiyi Sect's territory, the mortal oases had been equipped with various mechanical devices such as lightning crossbows and thunderous rifles, purchased from Clever Machine Sect's Shang Family. As long as the mortals were well-organized and controlled these mechanical devices, they posed a significant threat to low-level cultivators.

Several isolated low-level monsters were dispatched by these mechanical devices used by mortals, reducing their numbers. Taiyi Sect no longer needed their cultivators to personally deal with these threats, alleviating significant pressure.

In some remote oases, Taiyi Sect even deployed low-level puppets to ensure the safety of those areas. As long as the monsters were not in large groups, these few low-level monsters posed no threat to the oases.

Taiyi Sect entered a relatively peaceful period of development. Everyone in the sect was slowly repairing the damage caused by the war. The abundant harvest of various monster materials during the war had caused a plunge in their value. Monster materials held by major sects and forces had become less valuable.

Taiyi Sect organized surrounding cultivation forces, including Qiaoshou Sect and Land Walk Sect, and flew together in Second Rank flying vessels to Great Wind City. With the help of Gu Yue Youlan, Meng Zhang managed to sell these monster materials at a good price in the prosperous trading city of Great Wind City.

Great Wind City was capable of easily absorbing large amounts of monster materials. After selling the materials, they made significant purchases within Great Wind City before returning home.

Being able to connect with a powerful cultivation family like Gu Yue Family left the cultivators who traveled with Meng Zhang to Great Wind City amazed at his influential connections. Gu Yue Family's strength and reputation were renowned, even surpassing that of the Flying Swan Sect.

Furthermore, Gu Yue Family was one of the cultivation families in control of Great Wind City. The influence of Great Wind City was prominent within the Jiuqu League, overshadowing Fire Cloud Sect.

These cultivators who journeyed to Great Wind City with Meng Zhang couldn't help but feel a sense of awe toward him, sensing the mystery behind his background.
