Chapter 225: Knowing
Several cultivators in the Refining Qi stage, though notcking in courage, dared to actively rush towards the battlefield of a Foundation Building stage cultivator.
As soon as theynded, they started shouting and yelling.
"Where are the cultivators from the Yellow Lotus Sect?"
"Did the cultivators from the Yellow Lotus Sect run away?"
"Which way did the cultivators from the Yellow Lotus Sect escape to?"
Meng Zhang nced at the flying boat above, confirming that there were no Foundation Building stage cultivators inside. He couldn''t fathom where these youngsters got their confidence to act this way. Were they truly unaware of the power of Foundation Building stage cultivators, or was it ignorance that emboldened them?
Nevertheless, they were here to help, so Meng Zhang didn''t show any displeasure.
Jin Qigu was even more courteous, warmly greeting the others. After exchanging names and introductions, they began to understand each other better.
It turned out that these young people belonged to an outer caravan of the Flying Swan Sect. The status of this caravan was roughly equivalent to what Meng Zhang had known before as Lao Bulu''s group.
The flying boat they were on was transporting goods to the Firewell Market.
The leading young man was named Wu Dongzhi, an outer disciple of the Flying Swan Sect. He was very talkative and quickly became familiar with Meng Zhang and the others through casual conversation.
Wu Dongzhi showed no fear in the face of two Foundation Building stage cultivators. He spoke confidently and fluently.
As it turned out, due to a conflict hundreds of years ago, the Flying Swan Sect had been wary of two forces: the Fire Cloud Sect and the Yellow Lotus Sect. These two forces had been keeping a close eye on the Endless Sea of Sand, always watching for any movements by the Flying Swan Sect.
The cultivators from these two forces often concealed their identities and sneaked into the Endless Sea of Sand. The Flying Swan Sect couldn''t prevent such incidents and could only let them be.
However, the Flying Swan Sect had a bottom line: if these infiltrating cultivators from the two forces behaved low-key, were honest, and didn''t cause trouble, the Flying Swan Sect wouldn''t bother them.
But if they stirred up trouble in the Endless Sea of Sand, especially like the recent confrontation where they killed cultivators from the Endless Sea of Sand, then the Flying Swan Sect would have to intervene.
This matter concerned the dignity of the Flying Swan Sect, and they would never let it go lightly. Although the two Yellow Lotus Sect cultivators had escaped for now, the Flying Swan Sect would undoubtedly send powerful experts to chase them down and wouldn''t let them escape easily.
These young people either came from the Flying Swan Sect or had close connections with the sect. Upon hearing that cultivators from their arch-enemy, the Yellow Lotus Sect, had appeared, they disregarded their own safety and came to investigate.
Judging from the confident expressions on these young people''s faces, they probably possessed some means of self-preservation handed down by their elders, which was why they weren''t afraid of Foundation Building stage cultivators.
These youngsters truly didn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth, relying on some small tricks to venture deep into the tiger''s den.
Cultivators from a major sect like the Yellow Lotus Sect were notparable to small sects or loose cultivators. If it weren''t for their concerns and the presence of Meng Zhang, a renowned Foundation Building stage cultivator, these young people would probably have suffered a great loss.
While Jin Qigu appeared enthusiastic, she didn''t disclose the full extent of the enmity between them and the Yellow Lotus Sect, only mentioning that they were being chased by the Yellow Lotus Sect cultivators due to some minor conflicts.
Thanks to the continuous propaganda by the Flying Swan Sect against their disciples, the Yellow Lotus Sect, as a hostile sect, had been demonized in the eyes of Flying Swan Sect disciples. To them, the Yellow Lotus Sect was nothing short of an evil, despicable existence,parable to cultivators from the demonic path.
The actions of the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators, doing things that harmed both the heavens and the principles of righteousness, were not surprising. Chasing after a group of weaker female cultivators was indeed in line with the typical behavior of Yellow Lotus Sect cultivators.
After talking for a while, the few young people who were still on a delivery mission took their leave. Before departing, they promised to inform the Flying Swan Sect about what had happened here so that the sect could deal with the matter of the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators.
However, Wu Dongzhi also admitted that the Flying Swan Sect was currently busy battling sand monsters, and manpower was scarce, so it might not be able to dispatch experts to chase down the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators in a timely manner.
Jin Qigu and the others had already provoked enmity with the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators, so they had to be extra cautious from now on.
Once these young people left on the flying boat, Jin Qigu and Meng Zhang began to have a deeper conversation.
Jin Qigu didn''t hide much from Meng Zhang, her savior. Ever since the incident in Great Wind City, where the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators took an interest in Jin Qiao''er, Jin Qigu had been extremely careful.
However, after returning to the Endless Sea of Sand for so long, the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators hadn''t shown up, so Jin Qigu becamecent, thinking that the sect was still concerned about the reputation of the Flying Swan Sect and wouldn''t dare to cause trouble there.
During thest pursuit of the remnants of Twin Sess Valley, Aunt Jin was seriously injured and still hadn''t fully recovered. She had been recuperating within Qiaoshou Sect.
A few days ago, Jin Qigu nned to go to the Firewell Market for some business. Since their return from Great Wind City, Jin Qiao''er had been confined to Qiaoshou Sect, forbidden to go outside due to concerns about the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators.
With so much time having passed and no sign of the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators, everyone had rxed their vignce.
Finally unable to stay put any longer, the usually lively Jin Qiao''er couldn''t bear it and mored to go out with Jin Qigu. Jin Qigu, who doted on Jin Qiao''er, couldn''t resist her and agreed to take her along.
The journey to the Firewell Market went smoothly. After Jin Qigu finished her business, she spent two days ying with Jin Qiao''er in the Firewell Market before starting their journey back today.
Little did they expect that not far from leaving the Firewell Market on their First Rank flying boat, they fell into an ambush.
Three Foundation Building stage cultivators from the Yellow Lotus Sect, having received news from an unknown source, hadid an ambush here long ago.
When the flying boat of Qiaoshou Sect passed by, it was easily shot down. Afternding, everyone from Qiaoshou Sect was trapped within a formation.
Jin Qiao''er identally triggered the enemy''s restriction and couldn''t move. If it weren''t for the desperate efforts of Jin Qigu and the others, she would have been taken away.
With the people from Qiaoshou Sect trapped inside the formation, if Meng Zhang hadn''t intervened to rescue them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After listening to Jin Qigu''s ount, Meng Zhang was deeply impressed by the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators'' concealed patience and their ability to hit precisely.
Together, Meng Zhang and Jin Qigu spent some effort before finally removing the restriction from Jin Qiao''er.
Once Jin Qiao''er regained her freedom and was able to move, she threw herself onto the bodies of several fellow disciples, crying bitterly and wailing.
Jin Qiao''er felt extremely guilty, believing that her impulsiveness had led to the death of her fellow disciples. If the Yellow Lotus Sect''s cultivators hadn''t taken an interest in her, and if she hadn''t insisted on going out, this tragedy wouldn''t have happened.
As Jin Qiao''er began to cry, several female disciples from Qiaoshou Sect also burst into tears.
Although Jin Qigu appeared calm on the surface, deep down, she was also filled with immense grief.
