Sect Master's Immortal Journey-Chapter 726: Subversion

Families like the Lu Family have long had numerous contingency plans for various unexpected situations. Although the Lu Family absolutely did not expect the Gu Yue Family to launch their attack at this time, they have never truly trusted the Gu Yue Family.

In Great Wind City, the Gu Yue Family is officially subordinate to the Lu Family, but in reality, they are quite independent and fundamentally different from other families. In the past, both families relied on each other for support to form a strong alliance. While they appeared very close and reliable allies on the surface, the Lu Family has never let their guard down when it comes to the Gu Yue Family.

Even though the Gu Yue Family is highly skilled in gathering intelligence and made thorough preparations in advance, many unexpected situations arose after their true attack began, necessitating Gu Yue Family's intervention to handle them one by one.

To assist the Gu Yue Family, the Taiyi Sect mobilized its elite members. More than half of the Gold Core cultivators were deployed. Taiyi Sect cultivators disguised themselves and concealed their identities. While such disguises were hardly convincing and were more like deceiving themselves, it served the purpose Taiyi Sect needed. As long as the Taiyi Sect cultivators didn't openly appear on the battlefield, everything that happened would be seen as internal strife within Great Wind City, limited to the war between the Lu Family and Gu Yue Family, with Taiyi Sect being unrelated.

Formalities and reasons often hold little significance, but sometimes they can unexpectedly play crucial roles.

The Lu Family fought desperately to resist the enemy's ambush and simultaneously sought external reinforcements through various means. The higher-ups of the Lu Family were decisive. Upon discovering the collusion between the Gu Yue Family and Taiyi Sect to create chaos, they knew the situation was dire and immediately resorted to their final trump card. They used a secret method to contact their powerful ally, the True Monarch Azure Mist, seeking his assistance.

Great Wind City is located on the edge of the Jiuqu League and is thousands of miles away from the league's headquarters, Jiuqu City. Without prior preparations, it would take a considerable amount of time for True Monarch Azure Mist to travel from Azure Origin Sect to Great Wind City. Even if he intended to intervene, by the time he arrived, the situation would have drastically changed. However, being a Primordial Spirit True Monarch from a major sect like Azure Origin Sect, he might possess some unknown means.

The Gu Yue Family and the Taiyi Sect's allied cultivators were fiercely attacking various strongholds of the Lu Family. Some of the weaker bases fell without much resistance before the mountain protection grand formation was fully activated. However, the crucial strongholds of the Lu Family promptly activated their mountain protection grand formation. These bases, situated atop Third Rank spirit veins, were holding out with the assistance of Third Rank defensive grand formations.

The Gu Yue Family possessed capable Formation Masters and had prepared Third Rank Formation Breaking Talismans in advance. On the side of Taiyi Sect, they sent expert cultivators in formations, such as Deep Earth Spirit Generals and Wen Qiansun, to aid in the assault. However, in the Cultivation World, the defenders protected by defensive grand formations held many advantages.

For the allied forces of the Gu Yue Family, victory was still a long way off. Meng Zhang stood in midair, observing the battle below for Gu Yue Family and the Taiyi Sect, acting as their ultimate trump card and last resort.

In the distant sky, a column of flying ships approached Great Wind City from the west. Meng Zhang could sense that these ships were not allies of the Gu Yue Family since their actions were swift and covert. These forces were likely either attempting to support the Lu Family or take advantage of the situation and plunder Great Wind City. Meng Zhang took action to prevent them from approaching the city easily, using his Primordial Spirit True Monarch's imposing aura to scare away these forces.

Meng Zhang refrained from killing, both due to his current identity and to adhere to the unspoken rules of the Cultivation World. Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, especially those from righteous sects, refrained from wantonly attacking lower-level cultivators to avoid triggering a brutal massacre. Hence, in Cultivation World, Primordial Spirit True Monarchs who valued their reputation refrained from openly slaughtering low-level cultivators.

However, this didn't mean that Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were weak and easy targets. Cultivators who provoked higher-level cultivators were seeking death in the Cultivation World.

After the Gu Yue Family launched their attack, more flying ships from various factions approached Great Wind City one after another. Meng Zhang recognized several of them, such as the Crane Song Sect, Fire Cloud Sect, and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch. He quickly drove them away.

Shortly afterward, a figure flew towards Great Wind City from high in the sky. From a distance, Meng Zhang recognized the figure as the loose cultivator He Luo True Monarch, a notable figure within the Jiuqu League.

He Luo True Monarch, much like True Monarch Profound Wind, was a loose cultivator who later joined the Jiuqu League. He held a position similar to that of the former Jin Li True Monarch within the Jiuqu League. Though He Luo True Monarch's cultivation base was in the early stage of Primordial Spirit, it was still advanced and formidable.

In recent years, Azure Origin Sect dispatched several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to different regions of the Jiuqu League to strengthen their control. He Luo True Monarch was stationed in the northern part of the league.

He Luo True Monarch rushed to Great Wind City in such a hurry, presumably in response to news of the turmoil in the city and came to handle the situation. True Monarch Azure Mist couldn't make it to Great Wind City in time, so he probably entrusted this matter to He Luo True Monarch.

Since achieving the Primordial Spirit, Meng Zhang has not engaged in any major battles with other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs except for the previous fight with the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs from New Beast King Mountain. Especially the opportunity for a fair one-on-one confrontation, he was quite interested in it.

Without caring about He Luo True Monarch's attitude, Meng Zhang coldly said, "Your seniority means nothing before me. If you want to pass through here, show me your skills."

He Luo True Monarch knew that words wouldn't resolve the issue, so he stopped talking and simply acted. With a wave of his hand, his flying sword unsheathed, and a grand waterfall of sword energy descended from the sky, aiming fiercely at Meng Zhang.

He Luo True Monarch, as a seasoned Primordial Spirit True Monarch, had brought out a Fourth Rank flying sword. Although Meng Zhang didn't possess any Fourth Rank magic tools, he fearlessly met the attack head-on.

Launching the Great Divine Ability Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword, black and white sword energies intertwined and clashed with the Fourth Rank flying sword.

He Luo True Monarch suddenly produced a token, and fiery threefold true flames manifested out of thin air, rushing towards Meng Zhang one after another.

Meng Zhang activated the Sun Moon Treasure Pearl above his head, emitting a brilliant light that fixed the threefold true flames in mid-air.

Both Meng Zhang and He Luo True Monarch immediately displayed their Divine Abilities, showing no mercy towards each other. The two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs fought fiercely in the high sky not far from Great Wind City. Since they were both members of the Jiuqu League, they restrained the power of their attacks to limit the battle's impact and avoid affecting a wide area.

Meng Zhang's interference blocked Lu Family's most significant reinforcements, preventing external support from approaching Great Wind City. Thus, the Lu Family was left to fend for themselves against the joint forces of the Gu Yue Family and Taiyi Sect. Lu Family, with their backs against the wall, couldn't hold out for much longer. Their rule over Great Wind City was on the brink of being overturned.

Outside Great Wind City, Meng Zhang and He Luo True Monarch's battle intensified. He Luo True Monarch was much older than Meng Zhang, having achieved Primordial Spirit True Monarch status long before Meng Zhang even began struggling for survival. He Luo True Monarch's cultivation base was astute, and he had accumulated considerable experience from numerous encounters, which allowed him to easily bring out two Fourth Rank magic tools.

Lacking any Fourth Rank magic tools but relying solely on his Great Divine Ability to confront his opponent, Meng Zhang inevitably began to fall behind.

Though He Luo True Monarch gradually gained the upper hand, he grew increasingly wary of Meng Zhang. Despite only having achieved Primordial Spirit recently, Meng Zhang's understanding of the Heavenly Dao was not inferior to that of He Luo True Monarch.

Meng Zhang's main cultivation path, Yin Yang Grand Dao, ranked among the highest-level innate Grand Daos in the world. In terms of level, it surpassed the Water-Fire Grand Dao by far.

The sky first darkened, then suddenly lit up. "Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Transformation" was the name of the cultivation method Meng Zhang was currently focused on, and it was also the name of a Dao Technique that he derived from it.

A Dao Technique allowed one to mobilize the power of the Grand Dao and influence the rules of heaven and earth with a particular spell. Having recently comprehended this Dao Technique, Meng Zhang was now using it for the first time in battle.

The Dao Technique of the same name as his primary cultivation method displayed tremendous power. The Yin-Yang power emerged in the sky, and chaotic streams of black and white energy swept through, forcefully suppressing the water and fire elements.

Under the impact of the Yin Yang Grand Dao's power, the Water-Fire Grand Dao's strength began to falter and retreat.

The contest of Grand Dao powers was straightforward, relying on each side's comprehension of the Grand Dao and their accumulated understanding of the Heavenly Dao. It had little to do with True Essence, magic tools, or other factors.
