Chapter 572: Minor victory

Due to Jin Li Daoist Master intentionally letting up, all the enemy's Gold Core Daoist Masters safely retreated into the Flying Swan Mountain. Jin Li Daoist Master was about to go to the small world of the Purple Gold Sect to seek a breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit stage. If it weren't for the strong insistence of Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect, she wouldn't have wanted to complicate matters and initiate this large-scale battle at this time.

Although she respected Meng Zhang and Fei Shi Daoist Master's opinions and agreed to start the war, she didn't want to kill the enemy's Gold Core Daoist Masters. As long as there were no casualties among the Gold Core Daoist Masters, the scale of the war would be controllable.

But once the enemy's Gold Core Daoist Masters were killed, the situation would change. They would inevitably not be willing to give up and would send even more powerful forces to participate in the battle in the Endless Sea of Sand.

For Jin Li Daoist Master, the most important thing at the moment was to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage. She absolutely did not want any disturbances and didn't want anything to delay this significant event.

Jin Li Daoist Master might seem a bit carefree and even a bit careless on normal days, but she had a lot of calculations in her mind. She could calculate various advantages and disadvantages very clearly and make choices that were most beneficial to herself.

Jin Li Daoist Master's intentions were not hidden from Meng Zhang and Fei Shi Daoist Master. Considering the current situation of Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect, it was indeed not suitable for them to engage in a large-scale bloody battle. Their goal in launching this attack was to deter the invading enemies and prevent them from easily launching further attacks.

Jin Li Daoist Master didn't want to kill the enemy's Gold Core Daoist Masters, and they could only let it be.

After Zhu Liangyu led a group of Gold Core Daoist Masters into the Flying Swan Mountain, they were protected by the Third Rank protective great formation, and their safety was guaranteed. However, they were not satisfied with just retreating.

The Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Fire Cloud Sect and the East River Branch still had to consider their disciples in the sect. Daoist Master Scarlet Flame and Daoist Master Smiling Lotus sent messages to all their disciples scattered throughout the Endless Sea of Sand and issued new orders.

These disciples couldn't possibly resist the enemy's Gold Core Daoist Masters, so there was no need for them to sacrifice themselves in vain. Their orders were to retreat voluntarily.

At this point, Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect, under the command of Jin Li Daoist Master, even abandoned the Yellow Sand Ridge stronghold and withdrew all their forces into the Flying Swan Mountain. Besides, Jin Li Daoist Master had no intention of attacking the mountain. Even if she really organized an attack on the Flying Swan Mountain, there would be no chance of success.

From the current situation, it seemed that Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect's alliance had the upper hand, firmly suppressing the enemy. From the original intention of launching this war, Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect had achieved their objectives. Both sides knew that this war couldn't last forever.

After surrounding the Flying Swan Mountain for over two months, Jin Li Daoist Master, leading the two sects' Gold Core Daoist Masters, took the initiative to retreat. Before this, the cultivator teams from Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect had mostly completed their tasks of looting and destruction and had begun to retreat.

With the two sects' active withdrawal, this relatively short-lasting and not excessively intense war finally came to an end. From the surface, it appeared that Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect's alliance had achieved a complete victory. They not only firmly suppressed the enemy, leaving them no ability to retaliate, but also seized a large amount of resources and obtained abundant spoils of war.

If it weren't for Jin Li Daoist Master's urgency to enter the small world of the Purple Gold Sect and her disinterest in continuing the entanglement, Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect would not have so easily given up.

Of course, Meng Zhang and others had to respect Jin Li Daoist Master's thoughts. She played a decisive role in the victory or defeat of this war.

After this battle, Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect's East River Branch would have to lick their wounds for a considerable period of time. Although the Gold Core Daoist Masters, who were the backbone of the sects, didn't suffer any losses, the two sects had other significant losses.

To restore everything to the way it was and continue to occupy the Endless Sea of Sand and plunder its resources, both sects needed to invest a considerable amount of time.
