As a representative of the Flying Swan Sect, Zhao Jiudou came to handle the Liu Family’s affairs and didn’t leave afterward. Instead, he voluntarily stayed to assist Daoist Guang Hong. The team led by Daoist Guang Hui, which entered the Green Bamboo Mountain territory, failed to find any trace of the sand monster army there. Guang Hui also dispersed the team to carefully search for the whereabouts of the sand monster army.

In truth, the Green Bamboo Mountain territory is closely connected to the Liu Family territory, making it possible for the sand monster’s nest to be located in the Green Bamboo Mountain territory. Consequently, Guang Hui didn’t rush to meet up with Guang Hong but continued to stay in the Green Bamboo Mountain territory, conducting a thorough search.
On the Liu Family’s side, they searched for a considerable amount of time, exploring almost the entire underground of their territory, but without any discoveries. It seemed highly unlikely that the sand monster nest was located underground in the Liu Family territory. There was one small area left unsearched. If nothing was found after searching there, Guang HongDaoist planned to lead the team to leave and join forces with Guang HuiDaoist to discuss their next actions.
Even though Meng Zhang showed signs of slackening, the other members of the Taiyi Sect continued their efforts in searching diligently, wholeheartedly fulfilling their mission. Thanks to their dedication, Taiyi Sect’s progress in the search was surprisingly not far behind that of other sects, and they could soon complete the entire search operation.
One day, while Meng Zhang was studying the "Grand Evolving Fortune" on the flying boat, a distress signal suddenly arrived from the direction of the Golden Blade Sect. Could it be that the Golden Blade Sect had already discovered the location of the sand monster’s nest?
Meng Zhang wasted no time and immediately summoned the Deep EarthSpirit General, who was studying the jade pendant with Wen Qiansun, as well as all the Taiyi Sect disciples spread out nearby, quickly assembling them. Soon after all the Taiyi Sect disciples gathered near the flying boat, a fierce gale swept in from the distant horizon, bringing with it a massive sandstorm.
Using the Deception Breaking Eye technique, Meng Zhang carefully observed countless figures within the sandstorm. It was a group of sand monsters charging straight towards them. Meng Zhang, who was about to reinforce the Golden Blade Sect, had to put that on hold and deal with the sand monsters in front of him first.
The Taiyi Sect disciples left the flying boat one after another, forming their battle formation ahead.
Under the cover of the sandstorm, the sand monster group quickly approached the vicinity.
Finally, Meng Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. At this distance, he could thoroughly assess the reality of the opposing sand monster horde. There were hundreds of sand monsters, but nearly half of them were small sand monsters, which could be considered at the Qi Refining level. Even ordinary armed mortals could handle them in battle.
The other half were mostly First Rank sand monsters, equivalent to Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage of human cultivators. Only one sand monster in the group could match a Foundation Building stage Cultivator—the Second Rank sand monster. 𝐟r𝗲𝚎𝚠e𝐛no𝘃𝗲𝐥.c𝗼m
A giant head made entirely of yellow sand flew in from the sky. With a light puff, it created a massive storm. Meng Zhang and the Deep EarthSpirit General shot up into the air, flying directly toward the Second Rank sand monster in the sky.
On the ground, the prepared Taiyi Sect disciples clashed head-on with the incoming sand monster horde, plunging into a fierce battle.

Under Meng Zhang’s control, the Tangling Silk Soft Sword transformed into a nimble ribbon, slashing at the opposing sand monsters. The Deep EarthSpirit General also swung the Stonebreaker Hammer, ferociously smashing the giant head.
The two Foundation Building stage cultivators engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Second Rank sand monster in the air.
The sand monster group rushing from the ground exerted enormous pressure on the Taiyi Sect cultivators. Under Yang Xueyi’s control, the flying sword "Soft Around The Finger" danced and cut down sand monsters while hovering within the group. Wen Qiansun used a few formation flags to set up a small Formation in front of himself, unexpectedly blocking the fiercely approaching sand monsters.
Tian Li activated the Fire Seal in his hand, causing numerous agile fire serpents to appear on the ground and rush into the sand monster group. Hu Jing and several tamed spirit beasts guarded a position together. The valiant Zheng Chao summoned the Second Rank puppet bestowed by Meng Zhang—a lion puppet, which charged back and forth within the sand monster group, creating a significant gap. Surprisingly, Zheng Chao led a group of War Hall disciples through this gap, actively rushing into the sand monster group to disrupt their formation.
Other Taiyi Sect disciples also displayed their skills, using various techniques to attack the incoming sand monsters. After years of hard work and rigorous training, the Taiyi Sect disciples, carefully selected by Meng Zhang, finally showed some momentum. These elite disciples demonstrated exceptional performance, forming formations and cooperating with each other, dealing significant damage to the sand monster group.
After a fierce battle in the sky, the outcome was finally determined. The massive head of one of the sand monsters had been smashed off by the Stonebreaker Hammer, and the remaining half was covered in gashes caused by the flying sword. The Second Rank sand monsters, now smarter than before, did not fight to the death as they used to. After suffering heavy injuries, they actually turned around and fled. The Deep Earth Spirit General chased closely behind them, and Meng Zhang glanced downward to see that the Taiyi Sect disciples had stabilized their positions and were gradually gaining the upper hand.
Meng Zhang looked towards the direction of the Golden Blade Sect. Despite his longstanding conflicts with Ruan Dadao of the Golden Blade Sect, when facing the sand monsters, they were both Human Clan cultivators, and he still had to lend a helping hand when necessary. Using his flying sword, Meng Zhang swept through the sand monster group below, annihilating a large number of them. Then he retracted his flying sword and flew towards the Golden Blade Sect’s direction.
As he hurried on, Meng Zhang noticed that the sky ahead was pitch-black, with fierce winds and countless sand particles swirling around. He activated his Deception Breaking Eye to take a closer look. The situation here was not good at all. The sand monster group attacking the Golden Blade Sect was evidently stronger than the one Taiyi Sect encountered.
The sand monster group flooded over, completely surrounding the cultivator team of the Golden Blade Sect. Their flying ship had been shot down and crashed to the ground. A large group of Golden Blade Sect cultivators surrounded the wreckage, resisting desperately. However, sand monsters did not take prisoners; they only knew merciless slaughter. When faced with the encirclement of sand monsters, Human Clan cultivators had only one path—fight to the death.
In the sky, Ruan Dadao was fighting three Second Rank sand monsters single-handedly. Although he was a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator, his combat power had significantly declined since his natal knife was destroyed not long ago. After a strenuous battle, he was clearly struggling to hold on. A whip made entirely of yellow sand lashed at Ruan Dadao mercilessly. His body was sent flying, and he spat out blood uncontrollably.
Having finally stabilized his body, Ruan Dadao’s fighting spirit was gone. With unwilling eyes, he glanced at the Golden Blade Sect disciples besieged around him, then turned around in pain and escaped toward the battlefield’s outskirts. However, the three Second Rank sand monsters wouldn’t let their prey escape so easily and pursued him closely.
Meng Zhang was about to fly over to support when Aunt Jin and Jin Qigu flew in from the side, rapidly approaching Ruan Dadao.
