ALL NOVELS’ LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master’s Immortal Journey
Meng Zhang adopted this tactic, which was not very stimulating for those Second Rank beasts, as they were not eager to fight the human side to the death.
In this way, the Foundation Building cultivators on the human side would strike and disperse the beast formations, and then, together with the subsequent cultivators, slowly hunt down the scattered beasts.
Given the beasts’ organizational abilities, their ability to suppress their nature and form such a disorderly army was already at its limit. It was impossible for them to be as well-trained and coordinated as the human army.

The human cultivators’ sudden attack easily threw the beast army into chaos. Part of the beast army continued to retreat, while some were provoked by the human cultivators and stayed to fight. Another part of the beasts got caught in the confusion.
Especially the last group of beasts, they scattered around like headless flies, not only failing to stop the enemy but also causing significant casualties due to trampling each other.
Some of the more intelligent Second Rank beasts also noticed that something was amiss. They tried to chase down those human Foundation Building cultivators.
However, the beast side didn’t have any advantage in the air. The enemy was agile and moved freely, making it impossible for the beasts to trap them.
The retreat continued for some time, and the beast army had already traveled dozens of miles with considerable casualties.
At this moment, the Second Rank beast in charge of command finally reacted and made a new decision.
The beast army ceased its retreat and stood its ground to face the attacks from the human side.
Meng Zhang and the other Foundation Building cultivators flew back to join the Refining Qi cultivators’ team and then slowly approached the front of the beast army.
Though the beast army lacked formations and marching arrangements, the various beast clans, especially those with Second Rank beasts, naturally knew how to cooperate in battle. Their monster auras connected them, allowing them to unleash their innate monster techniques together, forming a series of natural formations.
Upon observing from afar, Meng Zhang knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.
The Foundation Building cultivators from Taiyi Sect, including Meng Zhang, Deep Earth Spirit General, Shocking Thunder Spirit General, Yang Xueyi, Hu Jing, Zheng Chao, Wen Qiansun, and their vassal, Shi Changqing, totaled eight individuals.
On the side of Qiaoshou Sect, there were only Aunt Jin, Jin Qigu, and Jin Qiao’er, three people.
The number of Foundation Building cultivators, eleven in total, exceeded that of the Second Rank beasts they were facing. However, not everyone was in perfect condition.
Shi Changqing hadn’t completely expelled the poison from his inner core and had suffered significant depletion earlier, leaving him unable to exert even half of his strength. Besides, he was adept at alchemy but not particularly skilled in combat.
The other Foundation Building cultivators also had some who were heavily exhausted due to their role in maintaining the mountain protection great formation in the previous days, and they hadn’t fully recovered. Some others still had injuries that hadn’t completely healed.
Although they were not in their best condition, they had to go all out and engage in a decisive battle at this moment.
Meng Zhang gave the order, and all the Foundation Building cultivators, except Wen Qiansun, who went to organize the Refining Qi disciples’ formation, flew forward toward the enemy. The Refining Qi cultivators followed, forming a defensive formation as they advanced.
After an intense bloodbath, the beast army suffered heavy casualties and was on the verge of collapse. Over three Second Rank beasts were killed, and many beast clans were defeated.
At this moment, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, seemingly heralding the arrival of a thousand-strong beast army charging towards them.
As the only Foundation Building late-stage cultivator in the field, Meng Zhang had been easily handling the battle. He was the first to notice the movement in the distance and flew up to the sky to use his Deception Breaking Eye technique to check.
Sure enough, within the swirling dust, a massive beast army was rushing rapidly toward them. It seemed like this was the same beast army that Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning) had detected.
Unexpectedly, they arrived so quickly.

The current battle was at a critical juncture, and in no more than half a day, the joint forces of the two sects could defeat the beast army before them and annihilate them in the pursuit of victory.
But the enemy’s reinforcements arrived just at this crucial moment.
Given the speed of the enemy reinforcements, they would be here in at most half an hour and join the battle.
Time was running out, and though Meng Zhang was unwilling, he had to give up the easily attainable victory and prepare to retreat.
Meng Zhang transmitted the news of the incoming enemy reinforcements to all the Foundation Building cultivators on the field.
Everyone, like Meng Zhang, was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to defeat the enemy before them.
However, there was no choice. The recent battle with the enemy had nearly exhausted all of their strength. Not only was their true qi greatly depleted, but almost everyone also had injuries.
If another beast army joined the battle as fresh reinforcements, the human side would have no chance to withstand it.
Everyone present was level-headed and not driven by impulsive emotions. Even the most warlike Shocking Thunder Spirit General was a seasoned veteran who knew when to advance and when to retreat, understanding gains and losses.
Retreating during a battle was not an easy task.
They had to escape from the midst of the ongoing battle while maintaining their formation and blocking the enemy’s pursuit...
Thankfully, firstly, the Foundation Building cultivators from both sects were highly mobile and could easily break away from their opponents.
Although the Refining Qi cultivators couldn’t fly, they were well-trained and could cover for each other.
The Foundation Building cultivators launched a fierce assault against the beast army in front of them, unleashing countless spells that bewildered the enemy.
Then, the Refining Qi cultivators maintained their formation and slowly distanced themselves from the enemy, beginning their retreat.
Among the beast army, some of the more sensitive Second Rank beasts noticed the approach of their reinforcements.
They attempted to entangle the human cultivators, preventing them from retreating smoothly.
However, the Foundation Building cultivators showed their capabilities, firmly holding their ground and preventing the beasts from advancing.
Meanwhile, the retreating Refining Qi cultivators released numerous talismans and spells, tearing apart the pursuing First Rank beasts.
In this manner, the Refining Qi cultivators, under Wen Qiansun’s command, maintained a steady formation while retreating, leaving no opportunities for the beasts to take advantage of.
Seeing the Refining Qi cultivators move further away, the Foundation Building cultivators one by one broke free from their opponents and began to retreat towards the rear.
After the intense battle just now, the current beast army had suffered heavy casualties and was exhausted.
Although the human cultivators were retreating, they remained vigilant. Especially the Foundation Building cultivators, who were holding the rear, possessed powerful means of attack.
As a result, the beast army tried to pursue for a while but failed to gain any advantage and instead suffered more casualties.
Now, the beast army had completely abandoned the idea of chasing and stayed where they were, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.
