Chapter 544: Advances

When Meng Zhang first dealt with Ye Feifan, he mentioned that Huang Tannian, the Gold Core ancestor of the Huang Family, had suffered a setback in his cultivation, leaving half of his body paralyzed and unable to move freely. He could only meditate in seclusion in his cave for long periods of time.

However, now Huang Tannian, the Gold Core ancestor of the Huang Family, appears before Meng Zhang without any signs of discomfort, full of vitality. Huang Tannian did not come alone; he brought an army of over five hundred cultivators, who arrived at Tigerwolf Market on flying boats.

Among the many cultivation families in Great Wind City, Lu Family and Gu Yue Family are the most powerful and prestigious, surpassing other cultivation families in both strength and reputation. Lu Family and Gu Yue Family have multiple Gold Core Daoist Masters, while other families generally only have 1-2 Gold Core Daoist Masters, and their Gold Core Daoist Masters occasionally experience cultivation disruptions.

After learning about the situation in Great Wind City, Meng Zhang had some malicious speculations. Lu Family and Gu Yue Family might have secretly employed some means to suppress other cultivation families, ensuring that their own strength remains within a certain range without affecting the status of Lu Family and Gu Yue Family.

The specific relationships between the cultivation families in Great Wind City are limited to outsiders' knowledge, and Meng Zhang can only make casual guesses.

Huang Tannian, the only Gold Core Daoist Master of the Huang Family, usually stays in seclusion and rarely leaves the family. It is truly unexpected that he personally led the army to the Deadly Sea of Sand to suppress the ghost cultivators.

Even Jin Li, the Daoist Master who knows about the grudges between Ye Feifan and the Huang Family, thinks that Huang Tannian is making a big fuss over nothing. Only Meng Zhang has a faint idea of what is going on, but no one has been informed.

After the Huang Family's troops arrived, as the host, Meng Zhang inevitably had to come forward and greet them. With the four forces gathered in Tigerwolf Market, countless cultivators crowded the place. The Gold Core Daoist Masters of the four forces found a quiet place and gathered together to discuss the upcoming battle.

Jin Li, the commanding Daoist Master, had not appeared, and the expected reinforcements from the Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch and Crane Song Sect had also not arrived. Meng Zhang and others began to suspect that True Monarch Mountain Peak might have deceived them.

Without the appearance of the reinforcements from True Monarch Mountain Peak, there was no guarantee that the joint forces of the four factions could complete the task of sweeping the Deadly Sea of Sand. Just as everyone was suspicious, Jin Li, who had been absent for a long time, finally appeared.

Jin Li, with a grim face, was filled with uncontrollable anger. She told everyone that there was no need to wait for reinforcements anymore because they had already set off.

However, True Monarch Mountain Peak took a step ahead on the path of cultivation and became a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, naturally able to easily suppress Jin Li. Jin Li did not hide anything from Meng Zhang and poured out her grievances.

After accepting True Monarch Tian Zhu's command, she had been running around, focusing on preparing for the sweep of the Deadly Sea of Sand. She had visited the Jiuqu League several times to pay a visit to True Monarch Mountain Peak, but had never seen the other party.

Every time, she was received by the younger cultivators of the Mountain Branch, and their attitude was neither warm nor cold, far from respectful.

Jin Li had always endured it, as long as she could complete the task entrusted by True Monarch Tian Zhu, these were all trivial matters. But this time, True Monarch Mountain Peak's actions were truly excessive.

He actually treated Jin Li as if she were nothing and acted on his own. Jin Li not only lost face but also lost the opportunity to command the reinforcements. The army under her command was limited in strength, and they would definitely face many difficulties once they entered the Deadly Sea of Sand. Jin Li complained, but she also had some admiration for True Monarch Mountain Peak's methods.

This time, not only did the Yellow Lotus Sect Mountain Branch and Crane Song Sect join forces, but even the East River Branch, which had been subdued by the Mountain Branch, had to send an army of cultivators under the strong orders of True Monarch Mountain Peak to join the expedition.

True Monarch Mountain Peak's army, not to mention True Monarch Mountain Peak himself as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, far surpassed the army under Jin Li's command in strength.

Facing a somewhat frustrated Jin Li, Meng Zhang comforted her and spoke many kind words. Regardless of True Monarch Mountain Peak's attitude, he was still an ally now. His army of cultivators was also working hard to sweep the Deadly Sea of Sand.

Moreover, that army had taken the lead, with great momentum, and would likely attract the main attention of the sand monsters in the Deadly Sea of Sand. The armies of Taiyi Sect and other factions could take advantage of this and save a lot of effort.
