Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 679: Clean

Just a moment ago, while everyone was discussing matters in the sect's main hall, the Extreme Sword Spirit General took the opportunity to leave alone and went to a secluded place outside Maple Leaf Mountain City.

The higher-ups of the sect were all wiped out, and there was no one presiding over the Third Rank mountain protection great formation. Moreover, the Jiang Family had provided Meng Zhang and the others with a talisman to enter and exit the great formation. At this moment, no one could stop the Extreme Sword Spirit General within Maple Leaf Mountain City.

He silently arranged a set of Mother - Child Transmission Discs nearby, then activated the power of the earth veins to activate the sub-disc and established contact with the main disc set up on Hundred Grass Slope, at the mountain gate of the Taiyi Sect.

In fact, this was the first time they used this set of Mother - Child Transmission Discs to teleport over such a long distance. The last time they teleported from Hundred Grass Slope to Red Rock Valley, the distance was only thousands of miles. This time, they teleported from Hundred Grass Slope to Maple Leaf Mountain City, covering a distance of over 200,000-300,000 miles.

This treasure did not disappoint the Extreme Sword Spirit General and successfully connected to the other end at Hundred Grass Slope, although there was some significant loss of Void Nether Stone.

At Hundred Grass Slope, there were people guarding the Mother - Child Transmission Discs constantly. Upon receiving the signal sent by the Extreme Sword Spirit General, a Gold Core Daoist Master immediately teleported over.

After a brief communication, the Taiyi Sect quickly took action.

Currently, the Gold Core Daoist Masters of Taiyi Sect were mainly distributed in two places: the mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope, and Red Rock Valley. Only a few Gold Core Daoist Masters were stationed elsewhere. These two places were both connected by the Mother - Child Transmission Discs, enabling instant teleportation.

Before leaving Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang and the Extreme Sword Spirit General had specifically explained to the high-ranking members of the sect. So during this time, the Gold Core Daoist Masters of Taiyi Sect did not travel outside or wander around; they mostly stayed in these two locations.

Since both locations were protected by Third Rank defense great formations, even if the Gold Core Daoist Masters temporarily left, it wouldn't have a significant impact. As for the Foundation Building cultivators, there were several hundred in Taiyi Sect, and they could be easily mobilized.

A few Gold Core Daoist Masters led a group of Foundation Building cultivators and were the first to teleport over. The next batch of reinforcements was still assembling nervously.

The Extreme Sword Spirit General, along with this group of reinforcements, arrived directly in the sect's main hall, appearing before Xu Mengying and the others.

Although they still didn't know how Meng Zhang managed to bring such an elite force here, when Xu Mengying saw the appearance of the Extreme Sword Spirit General's group, she knew her plans had failed.

She was a very astute person. Now that she knew the situation was beyond her control and her original plans were no longer feasible, she didn't linger and immediately abandoned the original plan, coming up with a new calculation.

Instead of trying to overpower Taiyi Sect and gain control of Maple Leaf Mountain City, she sought to negotiate with Meng Zhang for more benefits.

Xu Mengying indeed proved to be pragmatic and immediately made the most advantageous choice for her side. Although the reinforcements from Taiyi Sect had arrived, as outsiders, they needed Xu Mengying's strong cooperation to quickly gain control of the situation in Maple Leaf Mountain City. Especially since Taiyi Sect couldn't afford to be exposed and needed to maintain the façade of Maple Leaf Mountain City to establish a foothold in the region. Consequently, the two parties quickly reached a new agreement.

Next, the Sect Master of Maple Leaf Mountain City, Zhao Yude, and the cultivators from the Jiang Family collaborated fully with the Taiyi Sect cultivators to carry out a sweeping cleanup throughout the entire city. The process quickly began, leaving no one within the sect unaffected.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Taiyi Sect cultivators, with Zhao Yude's assistance, gained partial control over the Third Rank mountain protection great formation. After some effort, three Gold Core Daoist Masters had been eliminated, and Wen Qiansun and Deep Earth Spirit General managed to decipher the great formation and obtain its complete authority. With the mountain protection great formation activated, Maple Leaf Mountain City was sealed off entirely, preventing anyone from entering or leaving and leaving no room for escape.

The three Gold Core Daoist Masters' families were the first targets of the cleansing. From top to bottom, regardless of age, gender, or cultivation base, the entire families were wiped out. In the past, Meng Zhang might have shown some reluctance, but after experiencing the trials and tribulations of the Cultivation World for many years, he had become hardened enough to make tough decisions when necessary. In Cultivation World, the extermination of families and clans was not uncommon. What happened in Maple Leaf Mountain City today was merely a very ordinary operation.

For Taiyi Sect to completely control Maple Leaf Mountain City and eliminate any potential threats, certain actions had to be taken. Just putting on the facade of a righteous sect would not secure their foundation. The upper echelons of Maple Leaf Mountain City were all wiped out, leaving mostly mediocre cultivators behind. In contrast, their enemies were an elite force led by Gold Core Daoist Masters, who already controlled the mountain protection great formation and had the geographical advantage.

However, Taiyi Sect cultivators weren't just mindlessly slaughtering. They also used the opportunity to absorb the power of those who surrendered. The Jiang Family was already under their control, and other smaller families that could be easily subdued, along with some discerned useful cultivators, were spared from the massacre.

Killing didn't take much time; it was the discernment of surrendering individuals and absorbing useful cultivators that required careful consideration. Taiyi Sect had accumulated rich experience in how to assimilate and integrate surrendering individuals. Soon enough, Taiyi Sect gained full control over Maple Leaf Mountain City and its territory.

Externally, Maple Leaf Mountain City's name remained unchanged, but internally it had become a branch of Taiyi Sect. A group of cultivators skilled in handling similar situations was sent by Taiyi Sect to organize and manage the city, maintaining the appearance of normalcy.

To the outside world, especially neighboring forces, rumors were deliberately spread, suggesting that internal conflicts and fierce clashes had occurred within Maple Leaf Mountain City's major families. In the end, the defeated ones were either cleansed or expelled, while the victorious faction took over, becoming the new rulers of Maple Leaf Mountain City. Such power struggles and internal turmoil were not uncommon in the Cultivation World.

Although the sudden events in Maple Leaf Mountain City seemed a bit surprising, they were not entirely unacceptable. As the surrounding cultivation forces digested and accepted the situation, with time passing, everyone would gradually forget about these events. In the end, except for those directly involved, few would care about these matters.
