Chapter 431: Plan

Back in the day, when Meng Zhang detained Shangguan Wen from the Earthfire Sect, he allowed the Earthfire Sect to attack the Flying Swan Sect. Later, he used Shangguan Wen to convince the remaining disciples of the Earthfire Sect to surrender, eventually taking over the Earthfire Sect's mountain gate. His actions were twofold - to prevent Shangguan Wen from leaking the information and earning the Flying Swan Sect's enmity and to safeguard the lives of the remaining Earthfire Sect disciples from retaliation.

As a Gold Core Daoist Master now, those past events were trivial matters to both the Flying Swan Sect and Meng Zhang. The Flying Swan Sect would not bother confronting Meng Zhang, a Gold Core Daoist Master, over such matters at this point.

The Earthfire Sect now had a place to hold on and preserve their legacy. Meng Zhang fulfilled his promise, and with his current identity and strength, he had no worries about any dissatisfaction or grudges from the remnants of the Earthfire Sect. If those remnants didn't wise up, they might find their sect eradicated sooner or later, without any need for Meng Zhang to order it.

After dealing with this insignificant matter, Meng Zhang had a deep realization. In the Cultivation World, one's cultivation base indeed held great significance. A higher cultivation base and realm would solve many difficult problems effortlessly. While Meng Zhang handled various affairs of Taiyi Sect, Gu Yue Huaidie finally communicated with the Flying Swan Sect.

The Flying Swan Sect agreed to let Gu Yue Huaidie enter the Mirage Secret Realm, but she must not cause extensive damage to the environment inside, affecting the growth of various spiritual herbs. In return, Gu Yue Huaidie would organize Meng Zhang and others to join forces in attacking the Demon Wind Gobi, helping the Flying Swan Sect relieve the pressure from the demon beast army.

Gu Yue Huaidie came to Taiyi Sect and brought this good news to Meng Zhang. She also met with Luo YeDaoist Master. Although Luo YeDaoist Master had some reservations about Gu Yue Huaidie, she remained straightforward and focused on the matter at hand.

The Mirage Secret Realm originally opened approximately once every hundred years, but Gu Yue Huaidie had a way to open it ahead of schedule. Of course, opening the Mirage Secret Realm early required favorable timing, location, and personnel.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Although it was unclear what secret activities these cultivators were engaged in, their activities seemed to be somehow connected to the Purple Gold Sect from the past. Cultivation powerhouses like the Purple Gold Sect, even if exterminated by the Flying Swan Sect, would often leave behind hidden measures for future restoration.

After Flying Swan Sect's rule over the Endless Sea of Sand, they extensively hunted down Purple Gold Sect remnants and destroyed the sect's hidden arrangements. For instance, the Shi Family, now an affiliate of Taiyi Sect, was once a closely related vassal family to the Purple Gold Sect. After the Purple Gold Sect's fall, they were relentlessly pursued by the Flying Swan Sect until they finally pledged allegiance.

Shi Family's survival until now was not only due to the efforts of their ancestors but also largely due to good fortune. However, other Purple Gold Sect remnants were not as fortunate. On the surface, many of the Purple Gold Sect's hidden measures were destroyed by the Flying Swan Sect, and most of the Purple Gold Sect cultivators were killed during the pursuit. However, some individuals managed to escape the hunt.

Given that the Purple Gold Sect was once a major cultivation sect with a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, the measures left behind by the Primordial Spirit True Monarch were not easily discernible even to a group of Gold Core Daoist Masters. As a former spirit pet of a senior cultivator from the Purple Gold Sect, Golden Tiger undoubtedly knew many of the sect's secrets, including those left behind by the Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

According to Luo YeDaoist Master's assessment, Golden Tiger, fearing an attack from the Flying Swan Sect's Gold Core Daoist Masters, dared not enter the Endless Sea of Sand easily. That's why he sent his enslaved Human Clan cultivators to operate covertly within the region. Thus, Luo YeDaoist Master's plan was to start from these cultivators' activities, hoping to lure Golden Tiger out.

During the years of the Flying Swan Sect's dual-front war, their control over the Endless Sea of Sand had weakened. If there were truly any messages from the Primordial Spirit True Monarch of the Purple Gold Sect left behind, it was highly likely that Golden Tiger, with his temperament, couldn't resist coming out of the Demon Wind Gobi. After all, it was something he had been relentlessly pursuing for many years and held extraordinary allure for him. At that time, it would be the perfect opportunity for everyone to ambush Golden Tiger.

However, before that, they needed to select a suitable place for the ambush from the activities of Golden Tiger's Human Pets that would effectively deceive Golden Tiger while facilitating their plan.
