Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 635: Grey Horse Plain

Zheng Chao flew a long distance to the west and didn't find any trace of the Sea Clan army. He guessed that the Sea Clan army had probably gone to the east to play around.

After confirming that there were no new Sea Clan forces coming from the sea to the west, he began his journey back and rushed towards Red Rock Valley.

Red Rock Valley is a strategically significant key location that requires concentrated efforts for defense. Whether it's Meng Zhang, who is stationed in Red Rock Valley, or Shocking ThunderSpirit General, who flew to the east to scout the enemy's situation, they have no idea that the Sea Clan is about to completely deal with the demon beast forces in the Demon Wind Gobi.

About eight thousand miles to the west of Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope, lies an endless expanse of flatland. This place is called Grey Horse Plain, the largest plain within the Demon Wind Gobi and an important habitat for the demon beasts.

Now, this place has become the battleground for the final showdown between the demon beasts and the Sea Clan army. The demon beasts have suffered one defeat after another and retreated all the way to Grey Horse Plain. If they continue to retreat to the east, they will enter the territory of Taiyi Sect.

The reason the demon beasts stopped retreating is not because they fear the power of Taiyi Sect, but because they have other reliance and believe they still have a chance to turn things around.

Within the vast territory of the Demon Wind Gobi, the paradise of the demon beasts, a group of Third Rank demon beasts alone cannot hold onto this treasure land. To the east of Demon Wind Gobi, which is now Taiyi Sect's territory, used to be the territory of the Fourth Rank demon beast, White Lion Demon King.

After failing to kill the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit and getting heavily injured during meditation, White Lion Demon King has not had a Fourth Rank demon beast in control here. The matters in this area have been related to the conflicts between the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit and True Monarch Tian Zhu, so no external forces have ventured into this place.

After a series of events, such a vast territory has unintentionally become Taiyi Sect's territory, a result of both Taiyi Sect's luck and the good fortune of Meng Zhang.

To the west of Demon Wind Gobi, there is also a powerful Fourth Rank demon beast in control. This demon beast is the Long-nose Monster King.

Long-nose Monster King and White Lion Demon King are complete opposites in personality. White Lion Demon King is aggressive and ambitious, always seeking expansion. On the other hand, Long-nose Monster King is mild-mannered and lazy, never wanting to get involved in any troubles.

Long-nose Monster King spends most of its time sleeping in its own lair, rarely going outside and being unwilling to interfere in the affairs of Demon Wind Gobi.

Within Demon Wind Gobi, apart from White Lion Demon King, only some older Third Rank demon beasts are aware of the existence of Long-nose Monster King. As for cultivators from the outside world, they know very little about it.

Taiyi Sect has occupied such a vast area in the east of Demon Wind Gobi and has always secretly aimed to gain control of the western part of Demon Wind Gobi. However, from top to bottom, including Sect Master Meng Zhang, they are unaware of the existence of Long-nose Monster King.

Being a Monster King with such a low profile, Long-nose Monster King can be considered an anomaly among the demon beasts.

The Sea Clan army daring to invade Demon Wind Gobi naturally means that they have thoroughly understood the situation here. Not only do they know about the existence of Long-nose Monster King, but they also consider it their primary enemy.

In the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Sea Clan, as long as Long-nose Monster King is not eliminated, the Sea Clan army cannot securely occupy Demon Wind Gobi, no matter how many victories they achieve. After the Sea Clan army invaded Demon Wind Gobi in force, two powerful individuals arrived at Long-nose Monster King's lair and trapped it inside.

Poor Long-nose Monster King, who usually keeps to itself, has now fallen into trouble. It has always been peaceful, without any ambitions, and has never caused trouble. It has no grudges or conflicts with the Sea Clan, nor any intentions of causing trouble for them. However, the high-ranking members of the Sea Clan think otherwise and will not let it go.

Battles between Fourth Rank powerhouses are often prolonged and it's challenging to determine the winner in a short period. Although their battle has not lasted as long as the one between True Monarch Tian Zhu and Fifth Rank Earth Spirit, it has still continued for over a hundred years. With the increasing involvement of Sea Clan's powerful individuals, the outcome of this battle is about to be decided.

The demon beasts on the side of Demon Wind Gobi have suffered heavy casualties, and only a few Third Rank demon beasts remain. Currently, among the Third Rank demon beasts, the most senior is Long-hair Demon General, who is leading the remaining forces of the demon beasts in their final resistance on Grey Horse Plain.

Originally, Long-hair Demon General served under White Lion Demon King and was not in the same group as the demon beasts loyal to Long-nose Monster King. However, due to the heavy casualties among the Third Rank demon beasts, there are few remaining, and only it has the ability to gather the last remaining demon beast army.

Long-hair Demon General's lair has long been destroyed by the Sea Clan army, and its offspring have suffered significant losses. While the lifespan of demon beasts is longer than that of cultivators of the same rank, at the age of Long-hair Demon General, there are not many years left for it to live.

Having reached the end of its life, Long-hair Demon General has given up on fleeing and is now leading the remaining demon beasts in their last stand. The low-level demon beasts with limited intelligence are ignorant and are only being driven by the higher-ranked demon beasts. The higher-ranked demon beasts with sufficient intelligence are still resisting here because they hold on to the last glimmer of hope.

As the Sea Clan army surrounds the remaining demon beast army and corners them in Grey Horse Plain, the high-ranking members of the Sea Clan see annihilating the demon beasts in front of them as an effortless task.

In the sky, a swordfish-shaped flying boat appears. At the bow of the flying boat stands a Third Rank merfolk powerhouse, Hai Pofeng, the commander of this Sea Clan army. Just now, he received a message from his clan's ancestors that the most significant threat to the Sea Clan, Long-nose Monster King, has been jointly killed by their clan's ancestors and the Sea Patrolling Yaksha clan.

After more than a hundred years of struggle, the victory has finally been determined, and their greatest enemy has completely fallen. However, Hai Pofeng's face doesn't show much joy. The news of this victory came too late, which led to a wrong decision he made earlier.

If this news had come a bit earlier, he might have already been on his way back. The news of the sudden conquest of Red Rock Valley by Human Clan cultivators had reached him. He had two choices: one was to leave some forces to deal with the demon beasts, lead the main army to meet up, retake Red Rock Valley, and eliminate the Human Clan cultivators. The second option was to ignore the actions of the Human Clan cultivators and go all out to defeat the last remaining demon beast army in front of him.

Hai Pofeng chose the second option because, with Long-nose Monster King's presence, he always considered the demon beasts as their greatest enemy. As for the Human Clan cultivators, their background was unknown, and it was not appropriate to rush into a battle with them while the demon beasts were not yet resolved.
