Chapter 247
Aunt Jin glanced at Meng Zhang and said, "It's hard for Master Meng, he was seriously injured. The three of us received the call for help signals and went to reinforce the Golden Knife Sect, but we were a step too late."
"The Jindaomen team was completely annihilated under the siege of the sand monster army. Even Brother Ruan did not escape. Unfortunately, he was trapped in the sand monster army."
"The three of us fought against the sand monster army, but we were really alone and unable to support ourselves."
"We finally broke out of the encirclement, but we got separated from Master Meng."
"Now that I see that Master Meng is safe, the old lady is finally relieved."
After listening to Aunt Jin's words, Taoist Priest Guanghong said harshly: "No one thought that this time the sand monster army would be so fierce."
Zhao Jiudou said sourly from the side: "The leader of your Linquan Temple, Taoist Master Guang Hui, personally led an army to chase the group of sand monsters. I don't know where he chased them, but a large group of sand monsters actually appeared here like this."
After hearing what Zhao Jiudou said, Taoist Priest Guanghong looked unhappy, but did not speak.
Seeing Meng Zhang's puzzled look, Jin Qigu explained it to him.
After receiving the signal for help from Jin Daomen, Aunt Jin and the two went to provide support.
As for whether the Golden Knife Gate was raided by a wandering sand monster, or whether it was the discovery of the sand monster's lair that led to the attack by the sand monster, the two did not know.
The area where the Golden Knife Gate was originally located has been completely occupied by the army of sand monsters, and the two of them cannot get close.
After Jindaomen sent out a distress signal, the Linshan faction was also attacked by sand monsters.
Two second-level sand monsters who were proficient in earth escape techniques sneaked into the vicinity of the Linshan Sect's camp from the ground. They suddenly launched an attack and attacked two foundation-building monks, Xu Yishan and Lin Shenpo.
Then the group of sand monsters that came from a distance also rushed towards the Linshan Sect camp crazily.
If it had not been for the timely reinforcements from Taoist Priest Guanghong and Zhao Jiudou, the Linshan faction might have been completely wiped out this time.
After a bloody battle, Xu Yishan was seriously injured, and Lin Shenpo was also seriously injured. The Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Linshan Sect suffered even more heavy casualties.
After listening to Jin Qigu's story, Meng Zhang talked about Taiyimen being attacked by a group of sand monsters.
The strength of the group of sand monsters that attacked Taiyimen was greatly amplified by Meng Zhang. Taiyimen also suffered many casualties, and the Houtu God General was severely injured by the sand monsters and is still unable to move.
Taoist Guanghong originally planned to gather monks from the three sects and launch a counterattack against the sand monsters. However, after listening to Meng Zhang's words, he knew that Taiyi Sect and Linshan Sect had both been severely damaged, so a counterattack was naturally out of the question.
From the flying boat, I glanced at the gloomy sky in the distance and saw the large winds of sand that were rolling wildly. They were the raging army of sand monsters.
Taoist priest Guang Hong could only order everyone to retreat together to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the sand monster army. At the same time, he also contacted Taoist priest Guang Hui, the leader of Lin Quanguan, through a secret method and asked for reinforcements.
Taoist priest Guanghong led the army alone, but he ended up like this, and he was also very depressed.
As soon as the coalition forces of the three sects retreated, the Liu Family Gate was completely exposed to the sand monster army.
The army of sand monsters surrounded Liujiashan Gate and launched a tentative attack.
The three sects had too much to take care of themselves, so naturally they were unable to support the Liu family.
Taoist priest Guang Hong and Zhao Jiudou could only pray that the Liu family's mountain-protecting formation would be stronger and be able to hold on for a while until Taoist priest Guang Hui's reinforcements arrived.
In view of the attitude of the Liu family, Aunt Jin and others would certainly not care about the life and death of the Liu family. In Meng Zhang's heart, he wished that the army of sand monsters would capture the mountain gate of the Liu family and wipe out the entire Liu family.
After everyone discussed the next battle strategy, they dispersed.
Meng Zhang left the flying boat and flew back to his team.
The flying boat teams of the three sects dispersed separately to avoid being surrounded by the sand monster army together. However, they were not far apart, and they maintained a distance where they could watch and help each other.
Shortly after Meng Zhang flew back to Taiyimen's flying boat, Jin Qigu came to visit him.
Jin Qigu came to the house under the pretext of discussing coordinated operations, and stood at the bow of the flying boat with Meng Zhang, and started chatting.
After Jin Qigu rambled for a while, she began to test Meng Zhang whether he saw Ruan Dadao's death in battle.
Meng Zhang pretended to be confused at this time, saying that when Ruan Dadao was surrounded by sand monsters, he was too far away and had no time to come forward to rescue him. He could only watch Ruan Dadao being surrounded by sand monsters and died.
After listening to Meng Zhang's words, Jin Qigu stared at Meng Zhang for a while, and then revealed something private.
The Qiaoshou Sect has a close relationship with the Jinma Sect, and some female disciples of the Qiaoshou Sect once married into the Jindao Sect.
After years of operation, Qiaoshou Sect also has reliable eyes and ears among the Golden Knife Sect.
Ruan Dadao colluded with the demons of the Huanglian Sect and leaked Jin Qiaoer's whereabouts, which led to the ambush next to Huojingfang City.
Speaking of this, Jin Qigu also specifically told Meng Zhang not to leak this matter.
The deceased has passed away, and death is the most important thing. It is better to save some face for Jindaomen and not to ruin Ruan Dadao's reputation.
Anyway, Ruan Dadao is dead, so this matter ends here.
After talking about this private matter, Jin Qigu also said that without Ruan Dadao, the sect leader in the middle stage of foundation building, the Golden Knife Sect's Qi Refining Stage disciples alone would not be able to maintain the Golden Knife Sect's foundation.
The decline of Golden Knife Gate is a foregone conclusion.
Jindaomen's own territory, as well as the territory it seized during its subsequent expansion, has now become an attractive piece of fat.
Although Lin Quanguan will definitely occupy the biggest and fattest piece, if Qiaoshou Sect and Taiyi Sect join forces, they can still tear off a small piece.
The Golden Knife Sect is no longer enough to continue to exist as an ally of the Skillful Hand Sect.
In the future, Qiaoshou Sect and Taiyi Sect should help each other and advance and retreat together.
In terms of profit distribution, Qiaoshou Sect can follow the wishes of Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang looked at Jin Qigu and remained silent for a long time.
Many years ago, he deliberately made friends with the Qiaoshou Sect, hoping to reduce the pressure brought by the Qiaoshou Sect and the Golden Knife Sect to the Taiyi Sect.
He never thought that one day things would develop to this extent.
Even if the Golden Blade Sect does not perish this time, it will not be able to maintain its original status and interests.
By chance, Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect actually came together and became allies.
Regardless of whether Jin Qigu's promise can count or whether the Qiaoshou Sect is a reliable ally. But the Taiyi Sect really needs an ally.
Taiyi Sect was originally a small and inconspicuous sect, but it slowly rose to prominence after Meng Zhang took over as the leader.
Taiyi Sect has insufficient accumulation in all aspects and lacks connections and relationships, so it is easy to be isolated.
With the Qiaoshou Sect, an ally that may not be reliable, the Taiyi Sect can slowly make up for its shortcomings.
Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect complement each other in many ways, and Taiyi Sect indeed needs Qiaoshou Sect as an ally more.
Meng Zhang made up his mind and agreed to form an alliance with the Qiaoshou Sect.
