CHAPTER 839: ENCOUNTER ON THE ROAD

Meng Zhang and Jin LiTrue Monarch flew into the

Meng Zhang and Jin LiTrue Monarch flew into the sky together, beyond the Nine Heavens.

As Meng Zhang was about to step into the Nine Heavens, he suddenly stopped and looked to the side.

Jin LiTrue Monarch reacted just as quickly and immediately assumed a defensive posture.

"Ha ha ha ha ha..."

Accompanied by hearty laughter, Wen DongTrue Monarch, who had been gone for a long time, appeared.

Wen DongTrue Monarch's figure jumped out from not far away and flew in front of Meng Zhang.

At this moment, he had a beaming smile, extraordinarily kind, as if the past grievances between him and Meng Zhang had never existed.

"Sect Master Meng, it's been a long time. You are still as sharp and discerning as ever."

Meng Zhang did not relax his vigilance just because of Wen DongTrue Monarch's friendly attitude.

This guy was like a smiling tiger and was not to be trusted.

Moreover, the Dali Dynasty had a history.

In the past, on the Nine Heavens, the Dali Dynasty had ambushed cultivators from the Azure Origin Sect, marking the beginning of a full-scale invasion.

Wen DongTrue Monarch seemed not to notice Meng Zhang's cautiousness and continued to chat with him as if they were old friends, very relaxed and carefree.

"It's not easy to find an opportunity to have a private conversation with Sect Master Meng."

"I've been nearby for a long time, observing, and finally got this chance to come out and chat with you, Sect Master Meng."

"Jin LiTrue Monarch is not an outsider, so I couldn't resist coming out and having a chat with Sect Master Meng."

Meng Zhang couldn't quite grasp Wen DongTrue Monarch's intentions and just looked at him without saying a word.

Meng Zhang also refrained from making any moves.

If the other party dared to appear before him, it meant they were prepared, and he believed that he and Jin LiTrue Monarch wouldn't be able to take him down for sure.

It would be best not to waste his efforts.

Meaningless battles should be avoided as much as possible.

Wen DongTrue Monarch continued talking to himself.

"Sect Master Meng, we've had a few encounters in the past, but we were each minding our own business."

"In fact, there is no personal grudge between you and me. On the contrary, I really admire Sect Master Meng."

"Especially after learning about your achievements and how you revitalized the declining Taiyi Sect to its current state, I truly admire you."

Meng Zhang remained silent, and Jin LiTrue Monarch didn't make any other moves.

When the Dali Dynasty launched a massive invasion on the Jiuqu League, Jin LiTrue Monarch was still in seclusion within a small world. The two sides had barely had any contact, and naturally, there was no animosity. Řαℕ𝙤ꞖËs

Wen DongTrue Monarch was given the task to infiltrate the northern region of the Jiuqu League and, bearing a heavy responsibility, he put in a lot of effort to find an opportunity to communicate with this important target.

"Sect Master Meng, I admit that I was shortsighted and underestimated you, which prevented us from becoming friends."

"I came here this time to make up for my past mistakes and genuinely befriend you, Sect Master Meng."

Meng Zhang could never have expected that Wen DongTrue Monarch would lower his stance so much and speak with such humility.You should know that Wen DongTrue Monarch is an authentic Mid Primordial Spirit cultivator. Both in terms of Cultivation Base and status, he surpasses Meng Zhang.

It's not easy for him to humble himself like this.

Jin LiTrue Monarch had never interacted with Wen DongTrue Monarch before and didn't know his character.

But to see a Mid Primordial Spirit cultivator with such an attitude was indeed rare.

Meng Zhang didn't let down his guard due to the other's humble attitude. Instead, he maintained a cold and distant demeanor toward him, as if keeping him at arm's length.

Currently, the Jiuqu League has temporarily returned to peace because the Dali Dynasty's North Sweeping Grand Army unilaterally declared a ceasefire and withdrew voluntarily.

Theoretically, the Jiuqu League and the Dali Dynasty are still at war.

As a member of the Jiuqu League, Meng Zhang privately meeting an enemy envoy might raise suspicions of colluding with the enemy.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhang couldn't help but carefully survey his surroundings, checking if Wen DongTrue Monarch had set up any traps.

Wen DongTrue Monarch noticed Meng Zhang's reaction.

He maintained his smile and patiently explained to Meng Zhang.

His visit to see Meng Zhang was highly confidential and absolutely not to be leaked to others.

The commander-in-chief of the Dali Dynasty's North Sweeping Grand Army, General Zhang Wei, has long been aware of Meng Zhang and greatly admires the young junior's achievements.

Over the years, Taiyi Sect has been staying hidden in the Endless Sea of Sand, avoiding any further conflicts with the Dali Dynasty, which is something that General Zhang Wei earnestly hopes will continue.

General Zhang Wei is willing to promise that regardless of how the situation in the Jiuqu League changes and regardless of who wins or loses between the Dali Dynasty and the Jiuqu League, he has no intention of opposing Taiyi Sect.

The Endless Sea of Sand and the Demon Wind Gobi will forever be the territories of Taiyi Sect.

The armies of the Dali Dynasty will never set foot here without Meng Zhang's permission.

If Taiyi Sect encounters difficulties in the future or faces insurmountable obstacles, they can seek help from the Dali Dynasty.

The Dali Dynasty will not demand anything from Taiyi Sect, nor will they interfere in Taiyi Sect's internal affairs.

The conditions Wen DongTrue Monarch offered this time are much more favorable compared to the first time he met Meng Zhang.

If these were the conditions offered during their first meeting, Meng Zhang would have undoubtedly led Taiyi Sect and immediately joined the Dali Dynasty.

With such conditions, the Dali Dynasty essentially asks nothing from Taiyi Sect and instead guarantees the preservation of Taiyi Sect's existing interests.

If the Dali Dynasty truly conquers the Jiuqu League and fulfills these conditions, then Taiyi Sect would be equivalent to an independent vassal state, much better off than being a subordinate of the Jiuqu League.

Under these conditions, what reason would Taiyi Sect have to oppose the Dali Dynasty? And what reason would Meng Zhang have to fight against them?

Wen DongTrue Monarch provided such favorable conditions, and Meng Zhang dared not believe it entirely.

Jin LiTrue Monarch, who was not fully aware of the situation, also felt that Wen DongTrue Monarch seemed sincere.

Of course, Meng Zhang didn't outright reject it and completely fall out with Wen DongTrue Monarch.

Being dissatisfied with Jade Sword Sect and aspiring for independence, this was precisely the time when Meng Zhang needed external assistance.

He couldn't help but suspect in his heart: How could things be so coincidental?

The envoy from the Dali Dynasty actually approached him at this moment and offered such generous conditions.

Although Meng Zhang was tempted, he remained sufficiently calm.

Throughout the conversation, he remained silent, not uttering a word.

He wanted to believe Wen DongTrue Monarch, but he was also worried that there might be some hidden traps in between.

Seeing Meng Zhang's reaction, Wen DongTrue Monarch couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If possible, he really didn't want to take on such a thankless task.

However, it was necessary. The Dali Dynasty was currently facing tremendous external pressure, and it was precisely the time for change.

Especially on the side of the North Sweeping Grand Army, after General Zhang Wei took office, he changed many strategies and abandoned the Dali Dynasty's usual approach.
