Chapter 846: Appears |
Meng Zhang pondered for a long time and finally decided to find a way to decline Jade Sword Sect's summons this time.
During this period, Meng Zhang clearly felt that there were many problems arising between Taiyi Sect and Jade Sword Sect.
Considering the news received from Wen Dong True Monarch, Meng Zhang speculated that most of the Taiyi Sect disciples sent to Jade Sword Sect would likely be used as cannon fodder and consumed.
However, Meng Zhang's heart was still not ruthless enough to watch his own sect's disciples go to their deaths in vain.
As a Sect Master, it was his duty to protect his own sect's disciples.
Of course, outright rejecting Jade Sword Sect was not an option either.
Jade Sword Sect was powerful, and Taiyi Sect couldn't afford to defy them openly.
Meng Zhang personally wrote a humble letter, explaining Taiyi Sect's various difficulties.
Currently, there was a powerful Barbarian Clan army still stationed in the Endless Sea of Sand, engaging in fierce battles with Taiyi Sect.
In order to defend their land, Taiyi Sect had to put out fires everywhere and was too exhausted to spare manpower to respond to Jade Sword Sect's summons.
In the letter, Meng Zhang also flattered Jade Sword Sect and explained their predicament.
Taiyi Sect held no disrespect towards Jade Sword Sect, nor did they have the intention to refuse Jade Sword Sect's summons.
It was just a matter of being forced by the situation, and the situation was too difficult. Meng Zhang hoped Jade Sword Sect could understand.
After writing the letter, Meng Zhang asked Book Mountain True Monarch for help in delivering the letter to Jade Sword True Monarch, the Sect Master of Jade Sword Sect.
After sending out the letter, Meng Zhang felt anxious, uncertain about how Jade Sword Sect would respond.
To his surprise, after sending out the letter, there was no response whatsoever, as if the letter had vanished into thin air.
He even suspected that the letter might have been lost on its way if not for Book Mountain True Monarch's repeated assurance that the letter had been delivered.
Jade Sword Sect's reaction was far beyond Meng Zhang's expectations.
After pondering for a long time without reaching a conclusion, he didn't know what Jade Sword Sect meant.
He had no choice but to inquire about Jade Sword Sect's attitude through the channels of the Dark Alliance.
Since Jade Sword Sect didn't respond, he took it as their tacit agreement and didn't send any disciples to respond to the summons.
As time passed, incidents of Extraterritorial Invaders appearing in various places became more frequent.
Fortunately, these Extraterritorial Invaders were only small teams with the strongest among them being at the Third Rank.
Even though they roamed around, the damage they could cause was limited.
As long as the human cultivators responded and gathered enough manpower, they could eliminate them.
After some time, these small-scale appearances of Extraterritorial Invaders ceased, and the surrounding areas seemed to return to peace.
The large army of Extraterritorial Invaders had not shown up yet, and the small groups that appeared earlier seemed to be cannon fodder exploring the area.
But now, even these small groups were no longer appearing, and there was still no sign of the main force of the Extraterritorial Invaders.
The cultivators in the surrounding areas had been waiting and waiting, but they had been waiting in vain for the Extraterritorial Invaders to come. The prolonged absence of the invaders was not a good sign, and no one wished for such a situation. While the invasion of the Grand Dust World by the Extraterritorial Invaders was inevitable, their continued absence was also concerning.To guard against the large-scale invasion of Extraterritorial Invaders, major cultivation forces mobilized a considerable amount of manpower and resources to strengthen their defenses, greatly impacting their respective developments.
The news about the imminent large-scale invasion of Extraterritorial Invaders was spread by individuals like Xiao Jiansheng.
Cultivators dared not question the cultivators from Holy Land Sect, but they were not so polite to others.
People like Meng Zhang, who were involved in this matter, faced scrutiny and even had their past exposed, revealing some unsavory history.
Fortunately, most of those who doubted the authenticity of the Extraterritorial Invader news were low-level cultivators.
No matter how many low-level cultivators there were or how much they made a fuss, they were insignificant in the eyes of the high-level figures of the major cultivation forces, and they were not taken seriously at all.
Of course, top-level cultivators like Xiao Jiansheng still had some doubts since the Extraterritorial Invaders had not appeared yet.
Xiao Jiansheng had obtained much information from the Purple Yang Holy Sect's records, things that ordinary cultivators couldn't comprehend.
For some reason, the powerful extraterritorial races, such as the Demons, Spirit Clan, and Barbarian Clan, were particularly obsessed with Grand Dust World and always harbored intentions of invading it since their failure in the ancient war.
It remained unknown what exactly attracted them to Grand Dust World.
In Xiao Jiansheng's view, most of the invasion attempts by the Extraterritorial Invaders were suicidal actions, seeking death even though they knew their strength was not dominant, and success was unlikely. Nevertheless, they persisted in launching invasions.
Even without the involvement of the Holy Land Sect of Grand Dust World, just the Primordial Spirit sects in various regions were more than capable of eliminating these Extraterritorial Invaders.
Take, for example, the extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan encountered in the spatial channel. They were indeed powerful and found a way to enter Grand Dust World, but if the Human Clan cultivators were determined, they could be completely wiped out.
Since these guys were asking for death, Xiao Jiansheng was more than willing to oblige.
However, they had yet to show up, which puzzled Xiao Jiansheng.
The appearance of so many small groups in the surrounding areas indicated that the teleportation was not an issue.
But why hadn't their main forces appeared?
Xiao Jiansheng was considering whether to organize a team to explore the extraterritorial void and find out what these Extraterritorial Invaders were up to.
Although the extraterritorial void was extremely dangerous, a team composed of Primordial Spirit realm cultivators could still enter and leave it.
Xiao Jiansheng himself had ventured into the extraterritorial void several times and had no aversion to it.
Just as Xiao Jiansheng was preparing to organize the team, the invaders from the extraterritorial regions finally appeared.
The demons and Spirit Clan from extraterritorial regions appeared in a location that caught everyone by surprise.
They did not appear in the territories ruled by Human Clan cultivators but emerged in the deserted Cloudmist Great Lake, far away from areas governed by cultivators.
It was unclear how long they had been hiding in Cloudmist Great Lake.
They had concealed themselves in this remote area, far from the cultivators, and had not exposed themselves.
If not for a fortuitous encounter, the Human Clan cultivators would not have known that they had already arrived in Grand Dust World and were in hiding.
