After Meng Zhang and his group had some spare time, they began searching for the whereabouts of the group of sand monsters that guarded the nest.
During the migration of a large group of sand monsters, they would inevitably leave behind many traces. However, in the Deadly Sea of Sand, violent sandstorms often buried these traces quickly.
Fortunately, though Meng Zhang’s Grand Evolving Fortune couldn’t be used, other spells were not greatly affected. Especially Jue Ying, who was particularly skilled in tracking and tracing, had a strong ability in this regard.
With Jue Ying leading the way and Meng Zhang and Jin Qiao’er assisting, the three of them finally found some useful clues and started tracking along the trail.

Since entering the Deadly Sea of Sand, the fierce winds had never ceased. Almost every moment, countless sand and dust were swirling around from all directions.
Shortly after they started tracking, the sandstorm grew even more violent.
The sky had long lost any trace of light, and everything around them was pitch-black. Even the divine consciousness of late Foundation Building cultivators like them was greatly affected by the sandstorm, unable to extend too far.
Meng Zhang reluctantly identified a direction using his Deception Breaking Eye and led the two women to run in that direction.
Under these circumstances, they couldn’t even fly close to the ground; they had to run on the surface.
They had no idea how far they had run before the surrounding storm gradually calmed down.
Although the sandstorm was still considerable, they could now accurately discern the direction.
It was at this moment that Meng Zhang and Jue Ying realized they had deviated from their original intended direction.
Jue Ying was about to reorient when two cultivators flew over from the front.
Their figures swayed in the air as if they were about to fall at any moment.
Flying not far ahead, the two cultivators finally lost their balance in the air and fell straight to the ground, landing heavily.
Fortunately, they had been flying low to the ground and the sand beneath them was soft, so they didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
After landing, the two struggled on the ground for a while.
Seeing this, Meng Zhang and the two women quickly went over to help.
Meng Zhang had already recognized their identities. They were the members of Wang Qiquan’s loose group of cultivators, the brothers Qian Kaiyu and Qian Kaizhou.
When Meng Zhang and the two women arrived in front of the brothers, they were pale-faced and frothing at the mouth, rolling on the ground incessantly.
Meng Zhang waved his hand casually, and the two late Foundation Building stage cultivators were instantly immobilized, unable to resist.
Meng Zhang made a pulling motion with one hand, and the two brothers, who were now completely immobilized, were brought before him by an invisible force.
"Just a glance tells me they are suffering from a state of agitation," Meng Zhang said.
Most cultivators had some knowledge of medicine to varying degrees. Having gained many legacies from the Trial Ground, Meng Zhang had extensive knowledge and was well-versed in various fields.
In terms of medical skills, he had barely scratched the surface, but he could handle some not-so-serious situations.
Although the two brothers were now immobilized, their faces were still filled with madness and they glared angrily at Meng Zhang and the others.
While talking, Meng Zhang pointed out more than ten streams of true energy, gently striking the vital acupoints of the two brothers.
After a while, the two brothers showed signs of struggling at first, but then slowly regained their sanity.

Once their consciousness was restored, the two brothers understood their situation.
Meng Zhang’s act of saving them wasn’t due to some inexplicable kindness but rather his curiosity about their situation.
Given the strength of their loose group of cultivators, what had they encountered to end up in such a state?
Seeing the two brothers’ sanity returning, Meng Zhang separated them and asked them separately, with Jue Ying helping with the questioning.
Meng Zhang inquired with the elder brother, Qian Kaiyu. Upon hearing Meng Zhang ask about their encounter, Qian Kaiyu first showed a fearful expression and then revealed a look of grief and indignation.
It turned out that after Wang Qiquan’s group broke through the encirclement of the Ghost Path cultivators, they had been searching for the whereabouts of the Ling Marrow in the vicinity.
They wandered around, flying over many places.
Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, or perhaps Heaven favored the diligent, but they actually found a sand monster nest seed that was in the process of gestation not far away in an underground passage.
In that passage, there were countless guarding sand monsters.
After observing for a while, they rushed in for a fierce attack.
After a fierce battle, they wiped out the entire group of guarding sand monsters and destroyed the nest seed.
Near the nest seed underground, they found a piece of Ling Marrow.
This Ling Marrow was only the size of an infant’s head and not quite enough for one person to use, let alone two people.
Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo had both completed their Foundation Building cultivation base a long time ago. Over the years, they had been working hard to achieve Gold Core.
The amount of Ling Marrow they obtained was barely sufficient for one person, which meant that only one of them could benefit from it.
The Deadly Sea of Sand was full of dangers, and they had encountered numerous crises along the way. Obtaining this Ling Marrow this time was already a stroke of luck. Whether they would have such luck next time was anyone’s guess.
Thus, the unexpected, yet logical thing happened.
Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo both decided to secretly attack each other, each intending to seize the Ling Marrow for themselves.
Although Wang Qiquan was the leader of the group, his strength was only slightly stronger than Ning Bo’s in terms of cultivation base. They were as close as blood brothers, and yet, without any hesitation, they sought to take each other’s life.
Both were injured almost simultaneously and suppressed their injuries, beginning a life-and-death struggle.
The Qian Family brothers, who were watching from the side, were incredibly shocked and couldn’t react in time. Even when they did react, they were at a loss and didn’t know which side to help.
While the two brothers were struggling with their decisions, Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo, engaged in a life-and-death battle, didn’t forget about them either.
With their personalities, they would naturally not leave any future troubles and let the two brothers reap the benefits.
Thus, Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo involuntarily involved the two brothers in the battle.
After an intense three-way melee, the Qian Family brothers slowly lost consciousness and had no idea what happened afterward.
It was only when they were rescued by Meng Zhang and the others that they finally regained their senses.
Throughout Qian Kaiyu’s account, Meng Zhang had been using his innate Divine Ability, Mind Reading, to closely monitor his thoughts.
From both his outward reactions and inner thoughts, he had not lied; everything he said was true.
