Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 670: Plaintive

In the past, Jin Li, the Daoist Master, was powerful and proficient in lightning techniques. The thunderball she crafted with great effort could threaten cultivators at the Gold Core stage.

When Meng Zhang's thunderball was thrown, Xu Mengying, who coincidentally acted in sync with him, also threw a talisman towards the flying boat.

Xu Mengying's talisman reached its target later, landing outside the flying boat and being blocked by its protective formation.

Flashes of light emerged as the power of the talisman and the protective formation canceled each other out.

Meng Zhang's thunderball, unhindered, landed on the surface of the flying boat.

With a loud bang, the thunderball exploded in the abdomen of the flying boat. Not only did it create a large hole in the abdomen, but the explosion also caused significant damage inside.

There was no prior indication, yet the two of them unconsciously executed an almost perfect cooperation.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Even while attacking, their escape speed did not diminish at all.

Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying rushed towards the distance as if their lives depended on it.

Their speed was not slow, and even Extreme Sword Spirit General, who had the lowest cultivation base, managed to keep up with them by using the Sword Escape Technique.

Meng Zhang led the way with the Rainbow Escape Method, while Xu Mengying followed closely behind using the Wind Escape Technique.

Though Extreme Sword Spirit General lagged behind, the distance was not too far, and he closely followed the two in their escape.

Many years ago, due to the relationship with the Clever Machine Sect and its various Mechanical Creations, Meng Zhang developed a keen interest in flying boats, puppets, and other Mechanical Creations.

Not only did Meng Zhang purchase a large number of Mechanical Creations from the Clever Machine Sect, but he also established a Divine Workshop in the sect to repair and replicate various Mechanical Creations.

Meng Zhang was quite knowledgeable about different types of flying boats, especially the propulsion chambers that provided power to them.

His sneak attack with the thunderball happened to damage the flying boat's propulsion facilities, causing its speed to significantly decrease, losing the ability to fly at high speeds.

Without the flying boat for transportation, the eight Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Daoist Master Mountain Garden, with varying strengths, would definitely be spread out during the pursuit, potentially leading to further problems.

If such a situation arose, it would be ideal for them to hunt down the enemies without being picked off one by one and seize the opportunity to strike back.

Although Daoist Master Mountain Garden was somewhat arrogant, he wasn't foolishly conceited. He had a clear understanding of the relative strengths between enemies and allies.

While the damage to the flying boat might require compensation later, the more pressing concern was the impact on the team's mobility, which would limit their actions and create trouble.

Daoist Master Mountain Garden did not command everyone to continue the pursuit.

Xu Mengying might escape for a while, but she couldn't escape forever; sooner or later, she would be caught.

Daoist Master Mountain Garden glanced displeasingly at Daoist Master Smiling Lotus. If it weren't for the latter's hesitation and failure to act promptly, Xu Mengying would never have escaped so easily.

The people from East River Branch could not be relied upon, even though they seemed to have submitted on the surface. In secret, they were still making moves, never truly accepting their allegiance.

Daoist Master Mountain Garden didn't spare Daoist Master Smiling Lotus's face and reprimanded him gently but firmly.

Now, everyone was working for True Monarch Mountain Peak, and there could be no slightest negligence.

With True Monarch Mountain Peak on the verge of unifying the Yellow Lotus Sect and becoming the master of the entire sect, it's crucial for Daoist Master Smiling Lotus not to side with the wrong team at this critical moment.

Daoist Master Smiling Lotus surpasses Daoist Master Mountain Garden in both seniority and cultivation base. If it weren't for the special favor of True Monarch Mountain Peak, could Daoist Master Mountain Garden have attained his current cultivation base and status? Daoist Master Smiling Lotus never really regarded Daoist Master Mountain Garden, who achieved his position through connections, and now, he felt humiliated in front of him, which made him secretly furious.

However, he also knew that now was not the time to argue with Daoist Master Mountain Garden. When one is under someone's roof, they must bow their head. Since East River Branch is under the control of True Monarch Mountain Peak, they must not openly defy its orders or offend its trusted followers.

Daoist Master Smiling Lotus maintained a composed expression and suppressed his anger.

Seeing Daoist Master Smiling Lotus's reaction, Daoist Master Mountain Garden thought that his reprimand had silenced him. The thought of suppressing the senior member of the sect made Daoist Master Mountain Garden feel pleased and triumphant, feeling that he had gained some prestige.

Meanwhile, Yue Yuan wasted a lot of time on empty words before finally starting to plan the next course of action, preparing to continue tracking Xu Mengying.

On the other hand, Meng Zhang and the others had swiftly flown far away, leaving the Yellow Lotus cultists far behind, with no traces of them visible.

After flying for a considerable distance, almost leaving the buffer zone, the three finally stopped and landed on the ground.

Upon landing, Xu Mengying let out a soft sigh filled with sorrow and indistinct loss, a sigh that could move the hearts of listeners and bring tears to their eyes.

However, Meng Zhang remained unmoved and continued to stare at Xu Mengying.

Their recent cooperation in battle and escape did not erase the previous grudges.

Even the previous fight and escape were all due to Xu Mengying's actions.

It was no wonder that women were considered a calamity. The more beautiful they were, the deeper the calamity.

"Unexpectedly, even she betrayed me," Meng Zhang muttered to himself, expressing a sense of disappointment and wounded pride.

Having barely escaped from their pursuers, Xu Mengying immediately realized that someone must have tampered with her belongings.

While escaping, even during high-speed flight, she had carefully checked her entire body and all the items she carried with her.

With some initial speculation, Xu Mengying quickly narrowed down the suspects and identified the true culprits.

Only a few individuals, her trusted followers who had been with her for many years, could have quietly and discreetly tampered with her belongings. Yet, these very people betrayed her.

The betrayal of her closest confidants left Xu Mengying feeling heartbroken and made her realize the dire situation she was in.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation seemed hopeless, these trusted followers would never have dared to betray her.

Regardless of her status as the Yellow Lotus Sect saint or her own strength as a young and powerful Gold Core Daoist Master, she should have had a strong deterrent effect on the people in the sect, making them hesitant to betray her. Yet, they still betrayed her and even placed a tracking device on her belongings, making it impossible for her to escape completely.

Meng Zhang had no idea that in just a short time, Xu Mengying's mind was filled with various thoughts, her heart full of worries and regrets, recalling many things.

In Meng Zhang's eyes, Xu Mengying was merely putting on an act.

He had no time to watch her perform, nor did he wish to continue playing along with her.

Her pitiful and charming appearance might bewitch countless innocent young men, but it had no effect on Meng Zhang. No matter how pitiable or attractive she might be, he wouldn't show the slightest bit of mercy.
