Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 193: Enduring patiently

As the leader of the Righteous Path in the Endless Sea of Sand, the Flying Swan Sect is not lacking in ruthless methods. When it's time to take action, they show no mercy, and they do not hesitate to act decisively. The recent fate of Twin Success Valley once again proved the power of the Flying Swan Sect.

Over the years, Fei YuDaoist Master, a prominent figure of the Flying Swan Sect, has been secretly hiding in this area, never revealing himself to the public. Similarly, Fei JiangDaoist Master has been concealed in the nearby region, remaining elusive.

In his daily life, Fei YuDaoist Master spends most of his time alone in seclusion. However, one day, an urgent Flying Swan Sect cultivator arrived outside his quiet chamber, seeking an audience with him.

"Lao Jian, is there something important you wish to discuss?" Even though Lao Jian is an Inner-Sect Disciple of the Flying Swan Sect, and has successfully reached the Foundation Building stage many years ago, he still shows the same level of respect as he did when he was a junior Refining Qi cultivator in the presence of Fei YuDaoist Master.

"Daoist Master, the four sects have invaded Twin Success Valley, and both Green Bamboo Mountain and Liu Family suffered heavy defeats. Now, they have reached the foot of Green Bamboo Mountain, and it seems that Green Bamboo Mountain may not be able to withstand the attack. If they proceed with their assault, the Green Bamboo Mountain faces the risk of annihilation."

"Some of our disciples on reconnaissance duty have inquired whether we should offer assistance. After all, Green Bamboo Mountain has had a close relationship with our Flying Swan Sect and has been submissive over the years."

Without receiving Fei YuDaoist Master's permission, Lao Jian does not dare to rush in. After reporting outside the quiet chamber, he silently awaits Fei YuDaoist Master's decision.

After a moment inside the chamber, Fei YuDaoist Master's voice can be heard. "Lao Jian, after all these years, why haven't you made any progress? You still can't distinguish between what matters more and what matters less. Forest Spring Watch Guang Zhi is the real threat to our Flying Swan Sect."

"I deliberately restrained our sect and instructed you all to endure patiently, aiming to make this scoundrel lower his guard and inadvertently reveal his whereabouts."

"You acted recklessly to save Green Bamboo Mountain, and you seem satisfied with that. But if you disturb Guang Zhi, it will lead to a disaster."

Fei YuDaoist Master's tone remains gentle, without much reproach. Nevertheless, Lao Jian is frightened and quickly kneels down, saying loudly, "Disciple is confused and nearly jeopardized Daoist Master's grand plan. Please forgive me, Daoist Master."

"It's alright, don't assume such a posture. Just remember one thing – the squabbles between those little worms, who wins or loses, are irrelevant to the overall situation. Your task is to silently observe and not intervene."

"Disciple will heed Daoist Master's command," Lao Jian respectfully replies.

"Very well, you may leave. If there's no urgent matter, don't disturb me easily."

After Lao Jian withdraws, he discusses Fei YuDaoist Master's instructions with some fellow disciples and conveys the message to those who are monitoring the situation.

Meanwhile, inside the quiet chamber, Fei YuDaoist Master begins to contemplate carefully. As a fellow Gold Core Daoist Master, he fully understands the difficulty of dealing with Guang Zhi. Over the years, the Flying Swan Sect has refrained from any major actions and has not intervened in the conflicts between the other sects. This approach is meant to create an impression that the Flying Swan Sect does not intend to solve the issue with Forest Spring Watch through force but rather wants to force them into submission through relatively peaceful means.Flying Swan Sect and Forest Spring Watch don't have to be in a life-and-death struggle; they can coexist peacefully. If Guang Zhi receives this information and voluntarily reveals his whereabouts, then the Flying Swan Sect will take further actions. However, such matters cannot be rushed; they need to be handled slowly. With the lifespan of a Gold Core Daoist Master, they can spend decades or even centuries carefully calculating and strategizing in their conflicts.

At the foot of Green Bamboo Mountain, there was a small debate among five individuals. Ruan Dadao coveted the wealth of Green Bamboo Mountain and strongly advocated attacking and plundering the place completely. Aunt Jin might have some reluctance, but considering the alliance between the two sides, she didn't directly oppose Ruan Dadao. Shi Weida had some concerns, fearing that annihilating Green Bamboo Mountain might attract interference from the Flying Swan Sect. Lin Shenpo held a neutral stance on the matter, merely testing the Flying Swan Sect's bottom line with this expedition.

By gradually escalating the situation step by step, Forest Spring Watch perfectly aligned with the Forest Mountain School's plans. Meng Zhang, who had remained silent, suddenly turned his head and activated his Deception Breaking Eye, peering into a distant cloud formation. After just a glance, he immediately averted his gaze to look elsewhere. A while later, Meng Zhang said, "Alright, we have achieved our goal with this expedition and received the rewards from Dan Yihu as promised. The spoils of war we gained are not bad. I suggest we stop here and avoid unnecessary risks. Date Spice Oasis still has many treasures waiting for us to claim."

Shi Weida received Meng Zhang's support, and with the opposition of two others, they decided not to continue their attack on Green Bamboo Mountain. Aunt Jin's support was not steadfast, and Lin Shenpo remained neutral. Consequently, Ruan Dadao, with no one else to support him, had no choice but to join the others and head back.

In the distance, a Foundation Building cultivator said to their companion, "Isn't that kid Taiyi Sect's Sect Master, Meng Zhang? Did he spot us just now?"

"Taiyi Sect is just an insignificant, low-level sect. Their so-called Sect Master is nothing more than an undeserving leader of a mediocre sect. How could this kid, with no real ability or merits, see through our sect's profound hiding techniques?"

"But I've heard that Taiyi Sect also has a long history and a significant background."

"So what if their ancestors had a prestigious sect? The descendants turned out to be worthless, leading to the decline of the sect. These insignificant sects are probably just slightly stronger than loose cultivators."

Leaving behind their minor dispute, Meng Zhang and the others' departure from Green Bamboo Mountain marked the end of the conflict. On the side of Date Spice Oasis, Dan Yihu from Twin Success Valley had long since sneaked nearby, finding a concealed spot to hide. As Meng Zhang and the other five chased after Elder Zhujian and left, Dan Yihu quickly went underground, using the Earth Escape Spell to stealthily enter Date Spice Oasis.

After Dan Yihu entered Date Spice Oasis, the joint forces of the four sects completely occupied the place. However, they were initially busy looting the surface treasures and later got into disagreements, agreeing to divide the spoils through individual competitions. For a long time, they didn't have time to dig into the ground or pay attention to what was hidden beneath. In reality, a group of Refining Qi cultivators would have a hard time detecting the whereabouts of a Foundation Building cultivator intentionally hiding their presence.
