Chapter 685: Taking

chapter 685: taking

since meng zhang and xu mengying reached an agreement, the fate of daoist master smiling lotus has naturally been determined. a few days later, just as daoist master smiling lotus left a bustling market and flew to a secluded place, xu mengying, who had been tracking him for half a day, appeared and intercepted him.

after a moment, meng zhang led two gold core daoist masters from the taiyi sect and chased after them from behind, surrounding him.

daoist master smiling lotus had become more cautious since the disappearance of them at the daoist master mountain garden. however, in order to find the whereabouts of the daoist master mountain garden and others, he had to take the risk of searching along the direction they disappeared. in the end, he fell into the ambush set up by meng zhang and his companions.

daoist master smiling lotus was at least a gold core late-stage cultivator. if it were other gold core daoist masters surrounding him, he might have a chance to escape even if he couldn't defeat them. however, meng zhang, as a renowned gold core daoist master, was not the only threat. xu mengying, being the saintess of the yellow lotus sect, displayed remarkable abilities that seemed to have a subtle restraining effect on daoist master smiling lotus.

after a bitter battle, daoist master smiling lotus unfortunately lost and was captured.

following the previous agreement, meng zhang handed daoist master smiling lotus over to xu mengying for disposition. the reward promised by xu mengying would only be given to meng zhang after they returned to the yellow lotus sect.

meng zhang wasn't worried that xu mengying would go back on her word. she had previously made a solemn pledge that she wouldn't fare well if she violated her oath. meng zhang had set up a mother-child transmission disc sub-disc in maple leaf mountain city, but the location was strictly confidential and heavily guarded. not even recently joined cultivators from maple leaf mountain city, let alone jiang family cultivators and sect master zhao yude, could approach it.

taiyi sect was able to quickly send a large group of cultivators for reinforcement, and xu mengying could probably guess that taiyi sect possessed either space-teleporting magic tools or methods to swiftly set up long-distance space transmission formations.

of course, meng zhang didn't proactively mention this as he didn't fully trust xu mengying, and she was sensible enough not to bring it up herself.

after xu mengying took daoist master smiling lotus away, she quietly left maple leaf mountain city. meng zhang didn't bother with her and had no reason to interfere with her actions. after recovering from his injuries, he left maple leaf mountain city and personally went to investigate near the demonize area.

the teams of cultivators sent by various major forces through the grand crossing cultivation circle had long left, and the remaining few cultivators didn't pay much attention to their tasks. there was no strict control over the entry and exit of cultivators from all sides, and the monitoring was merely nominal.

taiyi sect had been continuously collecting void nether stones, but the gains were meager.

meng zhang temporarily put aside these worries and, together with the assembled gold core daoist masters from taiyi sect, hurried towards the area infested by demons. he had been preparing for this action for some time.

taiyi sect had long prepared a third rank flying boat, which was directly transmitted to maple leaf mountain city. this third rank flying boat was carefully collected by the sect and excelled in speed.

after the gold core daoist masters of taiyi sect boarded this flying boat, they greatly saved on travel time. what would have originally taken more than ten days was completed in just seven or eight days.

this time, meng zhang was risking it all and going all out. with almost all the gold core daoist masters of taiyi sect participating, the success or failure of this operation was crucial.

if they couldn't successfully enter the rebuilt taiyi sect's mountain gate and retrieve the sect's treasures, meng zhang would probably have to find another way to seize the opportunity to break through to the primordial spirit stage.

the gold core daoist masters of taiyi sect couldn't stay away from the sect's mountain gate for too long. whether it was the hundred grass slope, red rock valley, or the recently acquired maple leaf mountain city, they needed gold core daoist masters to hold the fort.

such a gathering of almost all the gold core daoist masters of taiyi sect posed an extremely high risk. after this operation, meng zhang would not attempt such a major action again.

in any case, meng zhang had made up his mind. if this attempt failed, he would not target this place again until he became a primordial spirit true monarch. as tempting as the treasures in the rebuilt taiyi sect might be, he wouldn't let it jeopardize the greater interests of the sect.
