CHAPTER 830: RUMORS

Under the leadership of Meng Zhang, Taiyi Sect

Under the leadership of Meng Zhang, Taiyi Sect is becoming more distinctive.

Due to Meng Zhang's own style of doing things, the entire sect has developed its own code of conduct.

Through organizations like the Hanhai Alliance, Taiyi Sect has gained control over numerous cultivation forces.

To effectively command these forces, a strict order and rules are necessary.

Meng Zhang believes that Taiyi Sect's treatment of these vassal forces is generally fair, with rewards and punishments administered appropriately.

Especially with the existence of Taiyi Sect's Secret Hall, it serves as a strong deterrent to those with ill intentions.

When necessary, Taiyi Sect also possesses powerful means to carry out punitive actions.

In recent years, Meng Zhang has gradually withdrawn from the daily affairs of Taiyi Sect, leaving the management to his senior disciple, Niu Dawei.

Taiyi Sect is facing formidable external enemies in the form of the Dali Dynasty, extraterritorial Barbarian Clan, and the potential arrival of extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan.

These powerful adversaries have the ability to annihilate Taiyi Sect, making it essential for Meng Zhang to handle the situation with caution.

After Jin Li True Monarch joined Taiyi Sect, there was no immediate action taken against the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan. The situation remained the same.

Meng Zhang's attention has shifted elsewhere, focusing on the situation with Jade Sword Sect.

The invasion of extraterritorial powerhouses is also a significant concern for the Dark Alliance branch.

Red Pig True Monarch and Jade Rabbit True Monarch actively participate in this matter and keep Book Mountain True Monarch informed of the progress in real-time.

On this matter, Book Mountain True Monarch and Meng Zhang share all the information, enabling him to stay updated.

Upon their return to the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain frontlines, Xiao Jiansheng and his group did not keep it secret, and news about the situation quickly spread.

Knowing that the extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan might launch a large-scale invasion, the hearts of those in the Jiuqu League were filled with anxiety, and many lost their will to continue fighting against the Dali Dynasty.

With their sect facing threats, many of them began to contemplate retreat.

Xiao Jiansheng relayed the relevant information to Purple Yang Holy Sect, awaiting the decision of the sect's high-ranking members.

Under the relentless attack of the Dali Dynasty's North Sweeping Grand Army, the Jiuqu League was struggling to hold on.

Facing internal and external pressures, Jade Sword True Monarch, who had always been strong-willed, had to make concessions.

Ignoring Xiao Jiansheng's opposition, he sent envoys to proactively contact the Dali Dynasty's North Sweeping Grand Army and truthfully inform them about the impending large-scale invasion by the extraterritorial demons and Spirit Clan.

This piece of news surprised the overall commander of the army, Grand Marshal Zhang Wei.Last time, Prince Feng Xia Houfeng, who was severely injured by Xiao Jiansheng, has been in seclusion for quite some time. Although his injuries have not fully healed, they have stabilized enough for him to communicate with the outside world.

Zhang Wei, being unable to keep such important matters a secret, specifically informed Xia Houfeng.

According to Xia Houfeng's thoughts, he should seize the opportunity while the Jiuqu League is in turmoil and lacks fighting spirit, and launch a full-scale attack to break the Jiuqu League in one fell swoop.

As for the so-called Extraterritorial Invader, it is definitely not going to fare well against the mighty Dali Dynasty.

However, Zhang Wei has a more far-sighted perspective than Xia Houfeng.

Having experienced repeated setbacks, the Jiuqu League is now at its weakest and no longer poses a threat.

Completely wiping out the Jiuqu League would not bring significant benefits in reality; instead, it would leave the Dali Dynasty to face the Extraterritorial Invader alone.

As per the conventions of the Cultivation World, if the Dali Dynasty were to destroy the Jiuqu League and become the master of the vast nearby territory, they would have the responsibility of ensuring that this territory is not occupied by the Extraterritorial Invader.

The Dali Dynasty's territory is vast, and it currently faces formidable pressures from various aspects.

Gaining an advantage over the Jiuqu League should not lead to a direct reduction of pressure from other areas.

After careful consideration and communication with the rear, Zhang Wei formulated a new strategy.

Zhang Wei personally received the envoy sent by Jade Sword Sect and delivered a long-winded speech about the righteousness of the Human Clan, expressing the Dali Dynasty's willingness to ceasefire with the Jiuqu League and unite against external threats.

However, he also requested that Purple Yang Holy Sect cease their covert actions, allowing the Dali Dynasty to concentrate its forces and prioritize dealing with the Extraterritorial Invader.

The envoy from Jade Sword Sect took Zhang Wei's attitude back and reported to Jade Sword True Monarch.

Jade Sword True Monarch found himself in a real dilemma.

Jade Sword Sect cannot act as the master of Purple Yang Holy Sect, and in the eyes of Purple Yang Holy Sect, the entire Jiuqu League is not worth mentioning.

Zhang Wei's request is simply impossible for him to fulfill.

Helplessly, Jade Sword True Monarch had to swallow his pride and seek Xiao Jiansheng's help.

The actions of Purple Yang Holy Sect against the Dali Dynasty were part of a major plan devised by the upper echelons of the sect, and even Xiao Jiansheng could not oppose it.

Moreover, in his heart, Xiao Jiansheng is not willing to negotiate with the Dali Dynasty.

For him, the Extraterritorial Invader is just a minor ailment, while the Dali Dynasty is the real internal threat.We cannot allow a moment of respite for an internal threat just for the sake of dealing with a minor ailment.

Xiao Jiansheng's attitude left Jade Sword True Monarch feeling helpless.

On Zhang Wei's side, he had already guessed that Jade Sword Sect would not be able to influence Purple Yang Holy Sect.

His intention was to have the Dali Dynasty occupy the moral high ground and claim the credit for the great ceremony.

Although such credit might not have practical significance in many cases, many major sects still value it.

Especially the Holy Land Sect that rules the entire Grand Dust World, at least on the surface, pays attention to such matters.

Soon, various rumors spread from the vicinity of the Dali Dynasty.

Extraterritorial invaders are about to launch a large-scale invasion of the Grand Dust World, and the Dali Dynasty was originally preparing to resist actively, but Purple Yang Holy Sect is hindering their efforts from behind...

Similar rumors spread far and wide, reaching the core of the Middle-Earth Continent from its edges.

The effect of these rumors has not manifested yet, but they have allowed people to witness the power of the Dali Dynasty.

Meng Zhang, who has been keeping an eye on the situation, finds the Dali Dynasty's approach somewhat perplexing.

Spreading rumors, forcing the other party to comply, and stirring up trouble—Meng Zhang had used such methods in the past.

But one must consider the target of the rumors. It's Purple Yang Holy Sect we are talking about. How could they back down because of mere rumors?

In Meng Zhang's mind, he still hopes for a temporary truce between the Dali Dynasty and the Jiuqu League.

With the strength of both sides, even if they don't cooperate and only defend their own territories, they can still make the Extraterritorial Invader retreat empty-handed.

Although the Jiuqu League is struggling against the Dali Dynasty, their strength is not weak.

Without interference from the Dali Dynasty, it wouldn't be much of a problem for the Jiuqu League to mobilize twenty or so Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

Based on his previous battles with foreign powerhouses, Meng Zhang believes that the enemy's strength is also limited.

Otherwise, Jin Li True Monarch wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long within the small world.

If the Dali Dynasty continues to wage war without a ceasefire with the Jiuqu League and keeps drawing the majority of their combat power, these Extraterritorial Invaders will truly become unstoppable.
