Sect Master's Immortal Journey
Chapter 752: Driving Back

Chapter 752: Driving Back

Although the True Dragon clan had retreated far into the deep sea, their reputation still spread far and wide. Meng Zhang didn't need to take up a deadly grudge against the True Dragon clan, as it would only create a formidable enemy for himself.

When he saw Ying Gaofei being thrown out, Hai Duomou, a Fourth Rank expert of the Sea Clan, felt a bit anxious.

The True Dragon clan had never been a reasonable race. If their direct descendants died here, they, as the involved party, would also be difficult to escape death.

If they weren't trapped by the enemy and unable to escape, they would have immediately left the battle to rescue Ying Gaofei.

Fortunately, the skilled Sea Clan experts who were watching the battle reacted quickly and rescued Ying Gaofei in time, confirming that he was not in mortal danger.

Seeing this scene, Hai Duomou and Meng Dali finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the burden lifted.

Meng Zhang's actions were measured; he spared Ying Gaofei's life but left a hidden threat in his body. Until this issue was resolved, Ying Gaofei's cultivation base would not advance, and he would be plagued by injuries, having no moment of peace.

To resolve this problem, it would take him quite a long time.

At this moment, after simple treatment, Ying Gaofei also regained consciousness with some effort.

Through this blow, he finally understood that there was an insurmountable gap between Third Rank and Fourth Rank.

No wonder there were many Third Rank True Dragons in the clan, but those who could advance to Fourth Rank were scarce.

The means given by the elders in the clan allowed him to display the strength of a Fourth Rank True Dragon with a single strike. However, Meng Zhang was not a monster averse to battle; he was a seasoned veteran of the battlefield. Even if it were just an ordinary strike from a Fourth Rank True Dragon, let alone a full-powered strike from the true body, it might not be enough to harm him.

As for Hai Duomou, he was already at a disadvantage and was further distracted by Ying Gaofei being knocked away. Although he quickly reacted, he still showed significant vulnerabilities.

Meng Dali was deceived by the Illusion Grand Dao, feeling a moment of confusion before the black and white aura descended upon him, shattering his Divine Ability and causing a substantial part of his body to disappear completely, leaving visible scars on the remaining parts.

In pain, Meng Dali screamed and fell heavily backward.

Seeing his comrade heavily injured, Hai Duomou, despite being injured himself, forcefully broke through the blockade of Book Mountain True Monarch and rushed to Meng Dali's side, spitting out blood from his mouth.

Seeing that Meng Dali's injuries, though severe, didn't immediately threaten his life, he temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw the menacing Meng Zhang and others, he helplessly sighed and started to ignite his essence, preparing to fight desperately.

Meng Zhang and the others, who should have pursued their advantage, all retreated at this moment, creating a large open space.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, especially for powerful Sea Clan experts.

Although Hai Duomou, burning his essence, might not last long, he could at least severely wound one or two of his enemies before dying or at least pull some of his comrades down with him.

Besides, despite his severe injuries, Meng Dali still had the strength to fight back.

Meng Zhang saw the situation very clearly.

Although their side had an absolute advantage, if they wanted to completely annihilate the enemy, they would still need to pay a considerable price.

At any moment, a major change could occur in Jiuqu League, and Meng Zhang and his group wanted to remain in good condition to respond. They were unwilling to be seriously injured here.

Since it's impossible to completely exterminate the enemy, the only option left is to drive them away. After all, with the injuries on Hai Duomou and Meng Dali, it will take time to recover fully.

When they heal their injuries and come back, the issues on Jiuqu League's side might already be resolved.

"Now, you should understand how formidable we are. If you think it's not enough, we can continue the battle until one side can't go on."

"Of course, after you die in battle, your clan members and subordinates will not have a good outcome."

"If you don't want to fight anymore, it's time to come up with a charter and see how to resolve today's matter."

If it were up to Meng Dali's temperament, he would rather die in battle than bow down to the Human Clan cultivator. Fortunately, Hai Duomou stopped him. Sea Clan was also intelligent beings and feared death. Especially after finally advancing to Fourth Rank, they held a high position in the clan and were revered by thousands of clan members. They had a long lifespan and many carefree days ahead.

If they died here, they would lose everything. Not only would their souls go to the netherworld, but their clan members, descendants, and others would lose protection. In the cutthroat world of the Sea Clan, they might become prey for other tribes.

Even if Hai Duomou had no intention of fighting to the death, Meng Dali, after calming down, was also unwilling to die in vain.

The Human Clan side had various concerns, so they didn't directly strike to exterminate the enemy completely. The Sea Clan side would not feel the least bit grateful for this but instead would remember today's enmity firmly.

They knew that as long as the green hills were preserved, there would be no fear of running out of firewood. Most of the Sea Clan understood this principle.

After the initial wave of anger, everyone had to accept the reality of their defeat.

Meng Zhang's demands were not excessive; he only required the complete withdrawal of the Sea Clan forces from Demon Wind Gobi. Afterward, they were not allowed to approach the coastline within a hundred miles.

He didn't even force Hai Duomou and Meng Dali to make a Grand Dao oath; he only asked for their verbal promise.

This wasn't because Meng Zhang didn't want to permanently resolve the issue, but he didn't want to push too hard to avoid further complications.

He felt an inexplicable sense of urgency, as if he didn't have much time left to deal with these problems.

After the battle ended, the Sea Clan quickly fulfilled their promise and began to withdraw from Demon Wind Gobi. The Taiyi Sect disciples, who had received orders from Meng Zhang, followed closely and gradually occupied this large territory.

The newly acquired territory held abundant spirit veins and various resources, providing Taiyi Sect with more room to maneuver.

If the future battles went unfavorably, there would be at least a somewhat stable rear area.

This territory had been developed by the Sea Clan for many years and had favorable conditions in various aspects.

The hurriedly retreating Sea Clan forces, under the watchful eyes of Taiyi Sect disciples, had no intention of making any moves to damage anything in the territory.

Meng Zhang knew that the problem was not entirely resolved but merely alleviated temporarily. Once the Sea Clan side recovered, there would undoubtedly be more conflicts in the future.

He only hoped that Taiyi Sect could seize this precious time to grow rapidly and have more confidence in facing future challenges from the Sea Clan.

After confirming that the Sea Clan forces had begun to withdraw, Meng Zhang didn't have the mindset to linger and appreciate the various Sea Clan-style buildings on the new territory. Instead, he returned to Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope, along with Xu Mengying and Book Mountain True Monarch.

Though the Sea Clan problem was not completely resolved, at least Taiyi Sect temporarily had no worries from behind.

Now, it was time for Meng Zhang to fulfill his promise and help Xu Mengying kill True Monarch Mountain Peak, their ally.
