Chapter 520(2/2)
A calamity.
When the army of Huoyun Sect monks retreated, they naturally couldn't take care of the forcibly recruited cannon fodder army.
As weaklings, they naturally have their own way of survival.
As soon as they saw the army of Huoyun Sect monks retreating, this miscellaneous army of servants who had been gathered together immediately dispersed.
Some monks used all their strength to escape from the battlefield desperately, just thinking of escaping far away.
There were also some monks who took the initiative to fly towards the camps of Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect. As soon as they arrived, they fell to their knees and started wailing loudly.
They accused the Huoyun Sect monks of their crimes at the top of their lungs, recounting one by one the numerous evil deeds they had committed. They kept explaining how they were innocent and how they could not help themselves...
These people are truly smart people who deeply understand how the weak survive.
Both Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect pride themselves on being righteous sects, and generally do not commit evil acts such as killing prisoners. Moreover, they voluntarily surrendered in public, and their surrender was full of sincerity.
Seeing that the Huoyun Sect monks successfully retreated under their own noses, the Feihong Sect monks felt a fire in their hearts. They wanted to vent their anger on these prisoners, but there were still monks from Taiyi Sect and Mobei Qi Family present.
The face of the Zhengdao Sect is still valuable, and we still have to put on a show in front of outsiders.
The Feihong Sect accepted the surrender of these monks. How to punish them in the future is another matter.
Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect are temporary comrades, and some monks surrendered to Taiyi Sect.
There are also inextricable connections between the major forces in the Hanhai Dao Alliance and many monks who surrendered.
These monks who belong to different forces not only surrender on behalf of themselves, but also surrender to the Taiyi Sect on behalf of their respective forces.
These monks who took the initiative to surrender to the Taiyi Sect had probably heard of the reputation of the Taiyi Sect.
These large sects may seem sanctimonious, but in fact they are all hungry wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones.
Whichever is the lesser of two evils, Taiyi Sect seems to be less overbearing than Fei Hong Sect.
Meng Zhang didn't think highly of these monks, let alone the forces behind them.
Now is the time to join forces with the Feihong Sect to fight against the enemy. He is a little reluctant to accept these forces and is worried that the Feihong Sect has other ideas.
However, seeing the pleading looks of these monks, Meng Zhang thought of himself back then and the Taiyi Sect that had not yet risen.
This scene is so familiar. Once upon a time, like these monks, I had to surrender to the strong. In order to survive the sect, I had to go against my own will and beg for help everywhere.
Meng Zhang's heart softened and he signaled to his disciples to accept the surrender of these monks and the surrender of the forces behind them.
As for how to deal with them and the forces behind them, we can only talk about it later.
Master Fei Shi glanced at the Taiyi Sect team with an unkind look and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
These Qiantou Grasslands were originally subordinates of Feihong Sect, but were later forced to surrender to Huoyun Sect.
The Feihong Sect has never been a tolerant sect, and Master Fei Shi is not a good old man who doesn't care about past grudges.
If traitors are not severely punished, how can they demonstrate the majesty of Feihong Sect and warn others?
Regarding these traitors, Master Fei Shi has long had the idea of punishing them.
Do you really think that the Feihong Sect would let them go so easily because of the respect of a prestigious and upright family?
Now some of the monks and the forces behind them have surrendered to Taiyi Sect, which has greatly affected Master Feishi's plan.
He would not think that Meng Zhang was moved by sympathy, he would only think that Meng Zhang remembered the past grudges and deliberately went against the Feihong Sect.
However, now is the time to employ people, and Meng Zhang has just shown strong combat effectiveness, establishing a victory.
Master Fei Shi could only suppress his dissatisfaction, keep this matter in mind, and not bother with Meng Zhang.
Regardless of whether they are monks who have taken refuge with the Feihong Sect or the Taiyi Sect, they are temporarily under the custody of the two sects.
The war is not over yet, so it is not the time to let them go free.
Especially those monks who surrendered to Feihong Sect were subject to very strict supervision.
If they, the monks who surrendered on their own initiative, might still have a chance of survival, those guys who fled in all directions would have long been sentenced to death in the heart of Master Fei Shi.
Receive prisoners, clean the battlefield, and rest the team. After doing all this, most of the day has passed.
The monks from Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect did not waste any more time and went straight to Feihong City not far away.
Feihong City, as the main city in the area ruled by Feihong Sect in the past, was once the most prosperous and lively place in the entire Endless Sand Sea.
After several ups and downs, this place has long since begun to slowly decline.
After the Huoyun Sect defeated the Feihong Sect and took control of Feihong City, the time was too short and the Huoyun Sect could not take care of running this place.
Originally a large city with a mixed population of immortals and mortals, with a population of more than 100,000, it became deserted and almost turned into a ghost town.
The Fire Cloud Sect's invasion of the Endless Sand Sea is a completely predatory gesture.
They are probably the top brass of the Fire Cloud Sect, and they don't know how long the Fire Cloud Sect can stay in the endless sand sea. The Fire Cloud Sect's army occupied this place not long ago, but they almost plundered the surrounding area.
All kinds of wealth accumulated in Feihong City over hundreds of years, and even the mortals in the city, were forcibly plundered by the Fire Cloud Sect and then returned to the sect's territory.
Although Jiuqu League is richer than the Endless Sand Sea, it is still not an overly prosperous place.
Especially in this area near the endless sand sea, the environment is not very good, and the population is far from dense.
In the world of cultivation, mortals, especially a large number of mortals, are also a wealth.
The Fire Cloud Sect forcefully transports away the surrounding mortals, which is basically cutting off the foundation of the Feihong Sect.
What's more, many of these mortals are related to the Feihong Sect monks.
Watching helplessly their mortal relatives were transported away by the enemy, their lives and fate unknown, and their whereabouts unknown. I am afraid that the morale of the low-level monks of the Feihong Sect will also be greatly affected.
Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, Feihong Sect cannot care about things that are too far away. The foundation of the sect and the mortal relatives of the disciples can only be put aside for the time being.
If the Fire Cloud Sect cannot be defeated as soon as possible and driven out of the endless sand sea, the Feihong Sect will be in big trouble.
After the Huoyun Sect's monk army retreated back to Feihong Mountain, the few Huoyun Sect monks stationed in Feihong City also voluntarily gave up here, retreated back to Feihong Mountain, and joined the main force of the sect.
Currently, only a small number of servant monks who serve as cannon fodder remain in Feihong City, and they are a bit at a loss.
Soon after the Huoyun Sect monks evacuated, the army of monks from Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect followed and rushed here.
Facing the situation where the army was pressing down, they had no intention of resisting at all and surrendered one after another.
The monks from Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect successfully took over Feihong City and jointly managed it temporarily.
The core city of his sect, which used to be the ruling center of the endless sea of sand, has turned into the dilapidated state it is today. Every Feihong Sect monk feels very sad.
What made them feel particularly humiliated was that they had to give in to the Taiyi Sect and let the Taiyi Sect monks take over many areas of the city.
The Taiyi Sect is now an indispensable ally, and has shown strong combat effectiveness. The Feihong Sect monks can only endure the humiliation and reluctantly accept the reality.
The biggest benefit of recovering Feihong City is that both Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect have a reliable foothold, and the consumption of the army can be greatly reduced.
Feihong City has a second-level high-grade spiritual vein. The spiritual vein covers a wide range, has abundant spiritual energy, and is very pure.
Although Feihong Sect and Taiyi Sect have many monks, the spiritual energy here is enough for them.
In this way, the two armies would not have to consume massive amounts of spiritual stones every day.
As Jindan Zhenren, the spiritual energy here is still not enough for use. But after meeting the needs of low-level disciples, the pressure on Taiyi Sect and Feihong Sect has been greatly reduced.
The resources stored by Feihong Sect can last longer, and Taiyi Sect also has a chance to breathe. Meng Zhang does not need to be too eager to fight.
Master Lieyun was struck by the Spirit Snake Spear, and Meng Zhang was very confident in his own strength and the power of the Spirit Snake Spear.
Although he successfully retreated from the battlefield, it was very difficult for Master Lieyun to save his own life, let alone restore his cultivation.
No matter what panacea he has or what magical secrets he has, at least in this war, Master Lieyun is almost out of the game.
In this way, the Feihong Sect has an overwhelming advantage at the level of Jindan Daoist. Even if Qi Nanfei Daoist continues to let go, the other three Jindan Daoist are enough to defeat Chiyan Daoist and Anyun Daoist.
After retaking Feihong City and not taking a long rest, Master Fei Shi was eager to continue the attack to completely defeat the Fire Cloud Sect.
The army of Huoyun Sect monks huddled on Feihong Mountain, and they were also protected by a third-order mountain guarding formation.
As a defensive side, the advantage is too great. Even if it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, it can still hold on firmly.
Meng Zhang was not very sure about the upcoming battle.
If you want to break through the enemy's heavily defended third-level mountain defense formation, you need a protracted siege and slowly wear down the enemy.
Of course, if you want to speed up the progress, you can also sacrifice a large number of low-level disciples in the sect and use their lives to consume the power of the mountain-protecting formation.
This was the method used by the Feihong Sect army when they attacked the Crow's Nest.
That tragic battle scene taught Meng Zhang a good lesson.
