Guang HuiDaoist learned a valuable lesson from the recent battle. He believed that their biggest mistakes were twofold. First, they should not have divided their forces and left only two Foundation Building cultivators to defend the mountain gate, which led to a lack of strength during the battle. Second, they acted recklessly by leaving the mountain protection formation and engaging the enemy in the field, abandoning their greatest advantage.

As a result, Guang HuiDaoist personally ordered all the disciples of Forest Spring Watch to abandon their outposts and retreat back to the mountain gate. Additionally, he ordered all the disciples of Forest Mountain School to abandon their own mountain gate and move to Forest Spring Watch. He suggested that Azure Bamboo should also move all the disciples of Green Bamboo Mountain to Forest Spring Watch.
At the same time, Guang HuiDaoist tried various methods to contact Guang ZhiDaoist Master. He also learned from Azure Bamboo that Flying Swan Sect would not directly attack Forest Spring Watch this time. Only the traitors from Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect would take action.
However, Guang HuiDaoist still had concerns. Guang ZhiDaoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze were both called away by Fei TianDaoist Master beforehand. Although Fei TianDaoist Master made a ghost oath, unless he was willing to die, Guang ZhiDaoist Master and Daoist Master Roaring Blaze should not be in danger.
But if Taiyi Sect and other sects dared to betray, it meant that they were not afraid of Guang ZhiDaoist Master’s retaliation. This raised a big problem.
Guang HuiDaoist also asked Azure Bamboo about this issue, but Azure Bamboo knew nothing about it. Before betraying Flying Swan Sect, Azure Bamboo obeyed their every command and never asked any questions that were not related to their own sect.
Anyway, the most urgent matter was to strengthen their defense and resist the attacks of Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect. Guang HuiDaoist could only put this matter aside for the time being.
Guang HuiDaoist also personally sent a message to the Sect Master of Earthfire Sect, explaining their close relationship and stating that Forest Spring Watch and Earthfire Sect were interdependent. He hoped that Earthfire Sect could lend a hand and that Forest Spring Watch would repay them generously after overcoming this difficult time.
The first target of Taiyi Sect’s disciples, led by Meng Zhang, was Singing Sand City. After receiving orders from their sect, the disciples of Forest Spring Watch stationed in Singing Sand City abandoned everything and hurriedly retreated.
Gu Tanghai conspired with Flying Swan Sect to betray Forest Spring Watch, and he kept it strictly confidential. Except for a few confidants and the two Foundation Building cultivators of the Shi Family, he never revealed it to anyone else.
The disciples of the Shi Family stationed in Singing Sand City, as well as many loose cultivators who had joined Gu Tanghai, were still puzzled by the actions of the disciples of Forest Spring Watch. When the flying boat carrying Taiyi Sect’s disciples arrived at Singing Sand City, the market guards had no idea how to handle the situation.Taiyi Sect and Shi Family were both vassals of Forest Spring Watch and had a close relationship due to years of trade. Moreover, the market guards were only a group of Refining Qi cultivators without a leader. Faced with a team led by several Foundation Building cultivators, they could not resist.
Taiyi Sect easily occupied Singing Sand City without encountering much resistance because there was no time to carefully discern and judge the situation. Meng Zhang could only order the Shi Family cultivators in the market to be temporarily controlled, including Shi Changqing, who was held by Gu Tanghai and fell into the hands of Taiyi Sect.
As for the numerous loose cultivators in the market, as long as they did not openly oppose Taiyi Sect, they would be temporarily ignored.

After controlling Singing Sand City, a strategic location, Meng Zhang relaxed a little. He sent cultivators from his sect to investigate the movements of Forest Spring Watch while waiting for Qiaoshou Sect’s reinforcements in Singing Sand City.
When Aunt Jin and the Qiaoshou Sect disciples arrived at Singing Sand City on a flying boat, the cultivators sent by Meng Zhang also reported the movements of Forest Spring Watch. Since Forest Spring Watch had abandoned all their outposts and retreated to the mountain gate, Meng Zhang did not rush to attack the heavily guarded mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch. Instead, he first swept the outskirts. After Twin Success Valley was destroyed, Forest Spring Watch had occupied all their original territory. Now, Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect’s first target was this territory.
Due to the hurried retreat of Forest Spring Watch disciples, they did not have time to destroy anything, and many resources on the territory were left behind. The joint forces of Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect easily occupied this large area.
The two sects had basically not experienced any battles, and most of their time was spent on the road. After clearing all the territories, including Date Spice Oasis, only a small number of disciples were left to symbolically guard them. The main forces of the two sects marched towards the mountain gate of Forest Mountain School.
On the Green Bamboo Mountain side, after receiving the message from Azure Bamboo, there was a split within Green Bamboo Mountain. Azure Bamboo’s betrayal of Flying Swan Sect was an absolute secret, and the disciples were not informed beforehand.
The message talisman sent back to the sect did not explain the betrayal of Flying Swan Sect, only requiring all Green Bamboo Mountain disciples to abandon their mountain gate and move to Forest Spring Watch as soon as possible.
For hundreds of years, the relationship between Green Bamboo Mountain and Flying Swan Sect had been close, and the disciples of Green Bamboo Mountain were proud of it. Now, how could they accept a simple order from Azure Bamboo to abandon their sect’s foundation and the mountain gate they had operated for hundreds of years and join their rival, Forest Spring Watch?
Even with the Sect Master’s order, many disciples were unwilling to obey. Anyway, Azure Bamboo was not present to give the order face-to-face. The message talisman could be completely forged.
After a heated argument, only a few disciples took the flying boat to Forest Spring Watch, while most of them continued to stay at the mountain gate. Considering the relationship between Green Bamboo Mountain and Flying Swan Sect, Meng Zhang felt that even if Azure Bamboo and the bamboo sword had betrayed Flying Swan Sect, how to deal with Green Bamboo Mountain still depended on Flying Swan Sect’s decision.
Flying Swan Sect had received Aunt Jin’s message and knew about Azure Bamboo’s betrayal. Although Flying Swan Sect could not directly attack Forest Spring Watch, there was no problem dealing with Green Bamboo Mountain, which had a close relationship with them.
Flying Swan Sect was like a thunderbolt when it moved. The law enforcement disciples of Flying Swan Sect soon arrived at the mountain gate of Green Bamboo Mountain. The disciples of Green Bamboo Mountain who were guarding the gate warmly welcomed the visitors from Flying Swan Sect. They not only did not resist but also did not show any vigilance.
After the law enforcement disciples of Flying Swan Sect entered Green Bamboo Mountain, they mercilessly attacked. After a bloody massacre, all the cultivators and their mortal relatives in Green Bamboo Mountain were slaughtered by Flying Swan Sect.
