These two Second Rank flying boats were rented temporarily by Meng Zhang at a high price through the black market channels. The various cultivators of Green Bamboo Mountain were entangled, leaving no one to intercept the flying boats.
The flying boats were very fast and arrived in the blink of an eye, landing next to the mortal camp of the Yang Family. After days of torment, the surviving mortals of the Yang Family numbered no more than three hundred. Most of them were so badly tortured that they could barely move, lying helplessly on the ground. Many were on the brink of death, awaiting their fate.
The flying boats had not come to a complete stop when the Taiyi Sect cultivators jumped down from them one after another. If these mortals had to rely on themselves, they wouldn't even have the strength to move, making it difficult to board the flying boats in a timely manner. Fortunately, these Taiyi Sect cultivators were well-prepared. Though their cultivation bases weren't high, each of them had a role to play.
These Taiyi Sect cultivators took out a large number of talismans and used them on the crowd in the camp. Rain charms, healing spells, and rejuvenation techniques continuously fell upon the mortals. Those mortals who were on the verge of death began to regain their spirits one by one.
Cultivators were naturally stronger than ordinary people, and after the Taiyi Sect cultivators cast spells like divine strengthening and body enhancement on themselves, their strength increased significantly. They carried, supported, hugged, and backed up each mortal, sending them onto the flying boats.
Some mortals who were in relatively better condition and could move on their own didn't need assistance and voluntarily rushed towards the flying boats.
The operation proceeded smoothly, taking much less time than expected. When all the mortals were safely aboard the flying boats, the two Second Rank flying boats immediately took off and flew toward Singing Sand City.
Second Rank flying boats had a much larger capacity and were faster than First Rank flying boats. In the blink of an eye, the two flying boats disappeared without a trace.
Having successfully rescued all the mortals, Meng Zhang and the others had achieved their objective and had no need to continue the fight. On Yang Family's side, Yang Xueyi had intentionally held back and hadn't used her full strength.
Deciding to retreat was relatively easy now. Although Yang Xueyi was young, she held considerable authority among the Yang Family cultivators. Under her strict orders, even if they were unwilling, the Yang Family cultivators had to abandon the fight and begin to withdraw.
After driving away the Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators, Yang Xueyi and her group boarded the First Rank flying boat. The flying boat had been hovering in the air and easily changed direction to fly away.
The Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators on the mountaintop were all Foundation Building stage cultivators and naturally couldn't fly. They could only watch helplessly as the enemy's flying boats departed.
Seeing the flying boats approaching their direction, Meng Zhang knew it was time to retreat. They already had the upper hand, so leaving was not difficult.
Wen Qiansun and the others vigorously waved their Nine Palace Windfire Banners, cooperating with Meng Zhang and Jue Ying to force the enemies back. Then, one by one, they orderly and quickly boarded the flying boat.
Under normal circumstances, the First Rank flying boat could accommodate about ten cultivators. In this urgent situation, they had to squeeze together to fit everyone on board.
After everyone was aboard, the flying boat immediately flew toward Singing Sand City. This First Rank flying boat was originally a high-quality gift sent by Forest Mountain School Sect Master Xu Chengxian, so its speed was impressive. It vanished into the horizon while the Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators watched with unwilling gazes.
The Second Rank flying boat couldn't be used for the time being, and the people present were all Refining Qi stage cultivators. Even if some of them had talismans for wind control or levitation, they could only move awkwardly in the air and couldn't catch up with the flying boats' speed.
In the sky, the two elders of Green Bamboo Mountain watched in frustration as the enemies escaped and successfully rescued all the mortals. Old Man Bamboo Stick was furious with this humiliation.
Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle had no intention of fighting to the death with the Green Bamboo Mountain cultivators. They were just doing a job for money and were satisfied with fulfilling their employer's request. As long as the Green Bamboo Mountain elders didn't intend to interfere with their mission, they would act carelessly, seemingly indifferent to the battle.
But if the Green Bamboo Mountain elders intended to meddle with the situation below, Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle would take it seriously and use their full strength to trap the enemy firmly. They each had their own trump cards, and if Old Man Bamboo Stick or the bamboo spear elder got distracted for even a moment, they would suffer a great loss.
Several times before, Old Man Bamboo Stick and the bamboo spear elder could only face their opponents honestly without any chance to distract or deal with them.
When Meng Zhang and the others successfully escaped, Old Man Bamboo Stick could no longer hold back his anger.
"You Twin Success Valley scoundrels, I'll fight you to the death!"
Before he finished speaking, Old Man Bamboo Stick raised his bamboo stick and pounced on Bald Eagle. In Old Man Bamboo Stick's eyes, only Twin Success Valley, with whom Green Bamboo Mountain had a long-standing feud, would dare to interfere in their affairs.
The Foundation Building stage cultivators in the surrounding area had different backgrounds, so it was normal that they couldn't recognize each other. These two individuals were obviously hiding their true identities to avoid being recognized.
Facing Old Man Bamboo Stick, Bald Eagle exclaimed, "What do you mean, old man? Why are you going all out against us? We have no grievances or enmities between us."
While uttering these strange words, Bald Eagle also displayed his true strength. His body moved agilely in the air, even more flexible than a real eagle or falcon.
Of course, Bald Eagle had no intention of fighting Old Man Bamboo Stick to the death. He was just using his nimble body movements to lead him on a wild goose chase in the sky.
Lone Wolf, who was facing the bamboo spear elder, sensed his opponent's attitude and knew that there was no real intent to fight. So, the two of them tacitly exchanged punches without the intention to engage in a serious battle.
