Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 630: Surprise attack

In order to avoid stumbling into the battleground of the Sea Clan and the demonic beasts, Meng Zhang and the other five individuals did not advance in a straight line. Instead, they took a big detour and entered deep into the Demon Wind Gobi from the side.

Although this added a considerable distance to their journey, the six Gold Core Daoist Masters traveled at full speed and quickly reached their destination.

When they arrived outside Red Rock Valley, the Hanhai Daoist Alliance had just completed their mobilization, and cultivators from various factions were not yet fully assembled.

At this moment, they were unaware of the situation at the rear and were only acting according to the pre-established plan.

When Zheng Chao had escaped from this place, even in the midst of fleeing for his life, he had the foresight not to forget to investigate the situation of Red Rock Valley for future use.

He had some knowledge about the surroundings of Red Rock Valley. On normal days, there was a Sea Clan army stationed here, led by two or three Third Rank Sea Clan commanders.

The intelligence level of the Sea Clan was much higher than that of the demonic beasts. While in the sea, their combat talents were even more remarkable.

Cultivators had developed a splendid cultivation civilization and created a sophisticated and strict system known as "cultivation hundred arts" throughout their long history.

Similarly, the Sea Clan possessed its own unique civilization. Although they did not have the concept of "cultivation hundred arts," they also refined elixirs and manufactured weapons.

Regarding formations, the Sea Clan had a completely different system from cultivators but had a mysterious heritage of their own.

After occupying Red Rock Valley, they knew that this place was of vital importance. Naturally, the Sea Clan would manage it well and maintain tight defenses.

Red Rock Valley served as a crucial supply depot for the Sea Clan. Most of the resources needed for frontline operations were gathered here and then distributed to the front lines.

Injured Sea Clan members from the great battle were also sent here for recuperation.

To defend this place, the Sea Clan not only stationed a large number of soldiers and Third Rank experts but also set up a Third Rank defensive great formation.

The Sea Clan's formation system was born in the sea and was best deployed in places with abundant water vapor. Even if they were away from the sea, it was still preferable to be in the vicinity of rivers and streams with ample water vapor to unleash the maximum power of the formation.

However, the Demon Wind Gobi, as its name implied, was an extremely arid place with a scarcity of water vapor.

Red Rock Valley was a rare oasis within the Demon Wind Gobi and originally had a large lake nearby. However, during the previous battles to conquer this place, the lake had suffered severe damage and had almost turned into a ravine.

The Sea Clan did not have enough time to repair the surrounding environment and could only forcefully set up their defensive great formation.

Even without the advantage of favorable terrain, they could still manage to extract some utility from the great formation.

The demonic beasts had been completely defeated and were continuously retreating, unlikely to launch a counter-attack.

For the Sea Clan, this was merely a habitual reinforcement of the defense of important areas. They didn't actually believe that any enemies would come to attack this place.

When Meng Zhang and the six Gold Core Daoist Masters arrived at Red Rock Valley, the defenses here were actually quite weak.

With no time for thorough reconnaissance, they had to move swiftly. The key to this plan was speed. They must seize Red Rock Valley before the Sea Clan could react and establish a preliminary defense system.

The six Gold Core Daoist Masters did not conceal their presence and boldly approached Red Rock Valley from the high sky.

Six blurred figures streaked across the sky as Meng Zhang led the group, appearing above Red Rock Valley.

Before the group even reached their destination, one of them fiercely struck downward with their sword.

Although it takes time to slowly gather spirit materials, and there hasn't been much free time, the Shocking Thunder Spirit General hasn't been able to create a new magic tool for Meng Zhang. However, he has strengthened Meng Zhang's original magic tools.

Both the Fierce Yang Sword and the Shadow Killing Sword have been infused with precious spirit materials and greatly enhanced in power, becoming more handy to use.

Sensing the approaching enemies, the Sea Clan in Red Rock Valley has not reacted yet, and the defensive great formation set up here has spontaneously activated.

A water curtain surged into the sky, blocking the path of the group.

The sword shadow transformed into a blazing sun, heavily colliding with the water curtain, creating intense ripples.

The people following Meng Zhang all took action, vigorously attacking the defensive great formation in front of them.

The term "Sea Clan" is a general term, and within the Sea Clan, there are many completely different racial groups.

Among them, the superior races, due to their extraordinary talents and strong collective strength, naturally become the rulers and nobility of the Sea Clan.

The Sea Clan army attacking the Demon Wind Gobi this time is led by three major superior races.

The Merfolk Human Clan has a half-human, half-fish appearance, with a human upper body and a fish tail below. They often appear as handsome men and beautiful women, seemingly not posing much of a threat.

In reality, the Merfolk Human Clan not only possesses strong innate spell talent but also has extremely high intelligence, being renowned as the wise individuals within the Sea Clan. In the Sea Clan's army, they often serve as strategists.

The Sea Patrolling Yaksha race has a blue-faced, fierce, and terrifying appearance, with a huge and oppressive figure. They possess divine strength and robust physical bodies, and are fierce and ferocious in character.

In the Sea Clan's army, the Sea Patrolling Yaksha serve as the brave and valiant generals, the vanguard charging forward fearlessly.

If the Merfolk Human Clan and the Sea Patrolling Yaksha race are considered the nobility of the Sea Clan, then the True Dragon race is the true royal family within the Sea Clan, the supreme existence.

So far, no members of the True Dragon race have appeared on the battlefield. Only the joint forces of the Merfolk Human Clan and the Sea Patrolling Yaksha race have been enough to defeat the demonic beasts that have dominated the Demon Wind Gobi for thousands of years.

Meng Zhang and his six companions have chosen a perfect time to attack Red Rock Valley.

As the assault on the demonic beasts approaches its final stage, the Sea Clan forces and strong individuals originally stationed in Red Rock Valley have mostly been mobilized to the frontline for the final extermination.

Now, only a small number of Sea Clan troops remain in Red Rock Valley. The only Third Rank expert present is a Sea Patrolling Yaksha.

This Sea Patrolling Yaksha had charged too recklessly during the previous battle, resulting in serious injuries that forced him to retreat for healing. He was currently in seclusion in Red Rock Valley, overseeing the area.

With the impending demise of the demonic beasts, the Sea Clan is now considering how to deal with the aftermath. They would never have expected an enemy to suddenly launch a surprise attack on Red Rock Valley at this time.

Meng Zhang and his companions' surprise attack happened to strike at the Sea Clan's weak spot, catching them off guard.

Although the Sea Clan set up a Third Rank defensive great formation in Red Rock Valley, firstly, the great formation was not suitable for this environment, limiting its power significantly. Secondly, there were not enough people to operate the great formation, so its power couldn't be fully utilized.

When the six Gold Core Daoist Masters took action, it was like a storm of fierce attacks. Within moments, the defensive great formation began to crumble.

The Sea Patrolling Yaksha, who was still in seclusion healing, was alarmed and hurriedly came out to the outside.
