Chapter 641: Storm
After both sides reached an agreement, the remaining task was how to implement it. Jin LiTrue Monarch sent a message talisman, detailing the causes and consequences of the matter and the content of the agreement, to Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang, who was stationed in Red Rock Valley, successfully received Jin LiTrue Monarch's message talisman. After reading its contents, he first wore a wry smile on his face, followed by a wave of fear.
For many years, he had dominated the region, personally developing Taiyi Sect to its current state. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't proud and complacent. But because of his inflated ego, feeling extraordinary and looking down on everything, Meng Zhang made a grave mistake this time.
He failed to thoroughly investigate the Sea Clan's military situation before taking the initiative to mobilize the entire sect's strength for battle. What's even more unforgivable is that he didn't communicate with Jin LiTrue Monarch beforehand.
In the message talisman, Jin LiTrue Monarch didn't hide her discontent. She was the biggest supporter of Taiyi Sect at present, and losing her support would be catastrophic for the sect. If her dissatisfaction escalated, it would be a major disaster for Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang warned himself inwardly that he must learn from this lesson and never be so careless in the future.
Of course, he wouldn't dwell on past mistakes any longer. His immediate task was to defend Red Rock Valley with all his might. The agreement among the several powerful figures made Meng Zhang furious.
Since when did Taiyi Sect become someone else's bargaining chip? It seemed obvious to True Monarch Azure Mist and other Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, but it infuriated Meng Zhang.
Outsiders would always be outsiders, and they couldn't be relied upon forever. As long as Taiyi Sect didn't have its own Primordial Spirit True Monarch, it would be under someone else's control.
Meng Zhang suppressed his anger and convened several Gold Core Daoist Masters within Red Rock Valley. He laid out the agreement between the powerful figures without any reservations.
The Gold Core Daoist Masters were all dissatisfied, but they were all people who knew what was important. After a few complaints, they quickly put this matter aside and discussed how to deal with the current situation together.
Regardless, Taiyi Sect couldn't afford to fail; they must hold onto Red Rock Valley. Otherwise, the cost of failure would be too high, and Taiyi Sect would undoubtedly suffer severe damage.
Since defending Red Rock Valley became a consensus, they began strategizing and decided to utilize the entire sect's resources for the defense. This crucial battle would leave no room for reservations. Besides the existing defensive measures, they would continue to strengthen their defenses. They would use all the treasures in the sect's treasury that could be of use.
While Jin LiTrue Monarch transmitted the message to Meng Zhang, the Sea Clan side also conveyed the latest information to the nearby Sea Clan army near Red Rock Valley.
After arriving near Red Rock Valley, the Sea Clan army had been reinforced by several Third Rank experts who arrived from various places, which significantly boosted their strength.
However, seeing that the Human Clan cultivators had already set up a Third Rank protective great formation and had a tight defense, Hai Pofeng, the commander of the Sea Clan army, did not act rashly.
Shortly after, Niu Dawei led the Hanhai Daoist League cultivator army and joined forces with the cultivators from Beast King Mountain, forming a coalition army. They followed closely and established their formation less than a hundred miles away from the Sea Clan army, waiting vigilantly.
Seeing that the cultivators in Red Rock Valley were not making any moves and had no intention to attack, Hai Pofeng originally planned to leave a detachment of troops to monitor Red Rock Valley's actions and concentrate the main force of the army to eliminate the Human Clan cultivators following them.
The golden light surrounding Red Rock Valley became even more intense, almost as substantial as solid gold. From a distance, it seemed as if the entire Red Rock Valley had been cast in gold.
The surging giant waves and the descending water dragons directly collided with the golden light, shaking it for a moment, but it held firm. The waves and water dragons dispersed into a downpour.
Hai Pofeng, observing from afar, had no expression on his face. This was just the first wave of attack, and the Sea Clan army had even more powerful means to use.
Next, the Sea Clan army launched one tactic after another, launching a relentless assault on Red Rock Valley.
The Six Spirits Golden Light Formation was originally a Third Rank defensive great formation, and now it not only had enough Gold Core Daoist Masters presiding over it but also numerous Taiyi Sect cultivators working together within the formation.
No matter what tactics the Sea Clan employed or how fierce their attacks were, they couldn't fundamentally shake the great formation.
Taiyi Sect wasn't just sitting back and taking hits; the Six Spirits Golden Light Formation had some means of counterattacking, even though its offensive power was ordinary.
The Gold Core Daoist Masters guarding the formation's eyes seized opportunities to unleash the power of the great formation, releasing bursts of golden light that directly targeted nearby Sea Clan army formations.
Two of the closest army formations directly suffered the impact of the great formation's attack. The protective water screens outside the formations were shattered, and the golden light momentarily enveloped the Sea Clan soldiers. Many of them fell to the ground, spewing blood, their lives hanging in the balance.
This counterattack from the great formation was already anticipated by the Sea Clan's high-ranking members, and this small number of casualties was negligible.
The subsequent army formations reinforced their defenses, easily blocking the great formation's counterattacks.
The Sea Clan army formations took turns advancing and continuously launched attacks on Red Rock Valley, maintaining constant pressure on them.
Taiyi Sect was well-prepared for the fierce Sea Clan attacks, and relying on the power of the great formation, they were not worried at all.
The morale of the spirited Taiyi Sect cultivators was high, and with the great formation's protection, they engaged in a heated battle with the Sea Clan army.
On the first day of the battle, the Sea Clan army suffered numerous casualties, while the Taiyi Sect cultivators remained unharmed, sheltered behind the great formation.
However, as the war continued and the intensity of the battles increased, Taiyi Sect cultivators could not continue to remain unscathed. Before long, they started feeling the heavy pressure.
