Chapter 365: Battle
ALL NOVELS'' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master''s Immortal Journey
The news of the Earthfire Sect''s attack quickly spread through the Flying Swan Sect''s mountain gate.
A long mountain range with many high peaks.
This ce was originally the Purple Gold Sect''s mountain gate, called Purple Gold Mountain.
After the Flying Swan Sect destroyed the Purple Gold Sect and upied this ce, the name Purple Gold Mountain could no longer be used.
The Flying Swan Sect''s mountain gate was naturally called Flying Phoenix Mountain.
The Flying Swan Sect had been operating here for hundreds of years and had set up a Third Rank protective mountain great formation that was extremely rare in the Endless Sea of Sand.
Once the great formation was activated, it would cover an area of hundreds of miles within the great formation''s power.
The great formation was extraordinary, with great power and unfathomable depth.
Relying on the power of the Third Rank great formation, even a Gold Core Daoist Master would be blocked outside the great formation.
When the news of the Earthfire Sect''s attack reached Flying Phoenix Mountain, the Flying Swan Sect Sect Master Fei Hongzi was not in the mountain gate.
After the Flying Swan Sect and the monster army went to war, War Hall Hall Master Zhao Liefeng, who had always been in charge of foreign expeditions, took the lead and first went to the battlefield, active on the front lines against the monster army.
After a series of battles, Zhao Liefeng, who had killed countless monsters, was also injured many times, with scars all over his body.
In thest battle, Zhao Liefeng was injured by a Third Rank monster and almost lost his life.
Seeing that Zhao Liefeng''s umted injuries were already very serious, Fei Yu Daoist Master forcibly reced him, forcing him to return to the Flying Swan Sect to recover from his injuries. At the same time, he asked the Flying Swan Sect Sect Master Fei Hongzi to rece him in the battle.
Zhao Liefeng did not dare to disobey the Gold Core Daoist Master''s strict order, so he could only obediently return to Flying Phoenix Mountain.
After a period of recuperation, he felt that his injuries were almost healed.
He had always been a warmonger, but now that the war was at its peak on the front lines, he was hiding in the rear to recover from his injuries, which made him very ufortable. He had been idle for so long that his bones were already itching.
During Zhao Liefeng''s recovery period, he was not idle either. Sect Master Fei Hongzi was not around, so he had to take over Fei Hongzi''s duties in the sect.
The front lines were fighting a great battle with the monster army, and the various affairs in the rear were alsoplicated and numerous.
Supply transportation, troop deployment, the transfer of wounded soldiers... a series of troublesome matters made Zhao Liefeng very annoyed.
For him, he would rather fight a life-and-death battle on the battlefield than deal with these mundane affairs.
When he heard the news of the Earthfire Sect''s uprising, he was first furious, then he felt a wave of joy.
Finally, there was a battle to fight, and he didn''t have to stay in the mountain gate and get moldy.
The Earthfire Sect''s bunch of clowns actually dared to start a rebellion at this time, really thinking that they could threaten the Flying Swan Sect by taking advantage of the situation.
Although the Flying Swan Sect''s main forces were on the front lines, the mountain gate was after all the sect''s fundamental stronghold, and the Flying Swan Sect could not just ignore it.
The Flying Swan Sect''s forces that remained in the mountain gate were not weak.
In addition, there were many cultivators in the mountain gate who had returned from the front lines to recuperate, just like Zhao Liefeng.
If they really mobilized all their forces, they might not lose to the Earthfire Sect.
As a high-level figure in the Flying Swan Sect, Zhao Liefeng did not take the Earthfire Sect''s group of people seriously.
In his opinion, as long as he led the cultivators who remained in the mountain to attack, he could easily defeat the Earthfire Sect.
Zhao Liefeng hurriedly mobilized the cultivators who remained in the sect. Some of the cultivators who were not seriously injured were temporarily mobilized by him.
The Flying Swan Sect had been ruling the Endless Sea of Sand for many years, and the cultivators in the sect naturally had a sense of arrogance.
The Earthfire Sect''s actions were too arrogant, whichpletely enraged the entire Flying Swan Sect.
Many cultivators volunteered to go out to battle and joined the expeditionary force.
The Flying Swan Sect mobilized quickly, and within a short time, Zhao Liefeng had gathered a group of cultivators that were not weak.
After the group had assembled, they set off under Zhao Liefeng''s leadership, boarding a flying boat and rushing in the direction of Earthfire Sect.
Shortly after the Flying Swan Sect''s group had left the mountain gate, three cultivators flew down from the sky toward the Flying Swan Sect''s mountain gate.
"Red me Senior Brother, you are being too cautious. These are just a bunch of insignificant cultivators, and you are taking the time to lure them away?"
"In my opinion, there is no need to be so troublesome. With our cultivation base, we can easily destroy them if we just charge in."
A tall, imposing cultivator said as he flew,ining.
"Angry me Junior Brother, Red me Senior Brother has his reasons for doing this. We have already been caught off guard once. If we are not careful, we could easily make the same mistake again."
Another short, unremarkable old man advised.
The leader of the three, a red-faced old man with ming red hair and beard, looked like he was made of fire. He listened to the other two talk without saying a word.
The three cultivators were the Fire Cloud Sect''s Angry me Daoist Master, Dark me Daoist Master, and Scarlet me Daoist Master.
Of the three Gold Core Daoist Masters, Scarlet me Daoist Master was at the middle stage of Gold Core, while the other two were at the early stage of Gold Core.
Thest time the Fire Cloud Sect had been tricked by Crane Song Sect and Flying Swan Sect, the three Gold Core Daoist Masters they sent had been killed or seriously injured.
The two seriously injured Gold Core Daoist Masters were still in seclusion, recovering from their injuries, and were unable to join the battle. They also had to leave enough men to guard the mountain gate.
Sending out three Gold Core Daoist Masters at once was the strongest force the Fire Cloud Sect could currently muster.
After thest time they were ambushed by the Flying Swan Sect, the Fire Cloud Sect''s high-level officials had also held a self-examination.
After a heated debate, the Fire Cloud Sect''s high-level officials reached a conclusion.
The Fire Cloud Sect''s biggest mistake in their battle with the Flying Swan Sect was that they had been too cautious.
The Fire Cloud Sect was now far stronger than the Flying Swan Sect.
After Cloud me Daoist Master died, if the Fire Cloud Sect had not been so cautious and had not made so many useless calctions, they could have mobilized their main forces andunched a full-scale attack on Endless Sea of Sand. With the Flying Swan Sect''s strength, they would have been unable to resist.
Unfortunately, because of the crushing defeat three hundred years ago, the Fire Cloud Sect was too cautious about the Flying Swan Sect, and the high-level officials in the sect almost had a psychological shadow.
They were worried about repeating their mistakes and losing again. As a result, the cultivators in the sect were hesitant and indecisive, and they missed a great opportunity.
As for the fact that they had spent so much effort to nt Earthfire Sect as a spy, it was actually not very effective.
Especially when Cloud me Daoist Master had paid a huge price to help Roaring ze Daoist Master form his core, that was a huge mistake.
After Roaring ze Daoist Master formed his core, he had not been able to do much. Now, he was in a precarious position, and all of the Fire Cloud Sect''s efforts had been wasted.
Of course, this was Cloud me Daoist Master''s decision, and Cloud me Daoist Master was already dead. So the Fire Cloud Sect''s high-level officials did not continue to dwell on this issue.
The Fire Cloud Sect''s mistake could be summed up in one sentence.
They had clearly possessed a much stronger power, but they had chosen to use their weakness to attack their enemy''s strength. They had yed all sorts of tricks with their enemy, but they had not known how to use their own strengths.
The Fire Cloud Sect''s high-level officials were aware of their mistake, and of course, they made timely adjustments.
