Chapter 1288 Retreat to heal wounds(1/2)
After Meng Zhang left, he carefully looked behind him along the way to make sure no one was following him, and then he flew to the place he had agreed with Taimiao.
At this time, Meng Zhang didn't know that Zhang Weineng hated him very much and had a murderous intention towards him.
Zhang Weineng's ambush on Xiao Jiansheng had been planned for a long time and cost a lot of money.
Faced with such a powerful enemy as the Ziyang Holy Sect, the Dali Dynasty found it difficult to find allies in the world of cultivation.
Zhang Wei was able to deceive the water tribe in Jiuqu River and let them board the Dali Dynasty's pirate ship.
Although the water tribe is not a good ally, it is better than nothing.
In order to ambush Xiao Jiansheng this time, he spent a lot of effort to get the Shui tribe to agree to help.
In addition, the True Lord Yuanshen who betrayed Xiao Jiansheng was also an important pawn placed by the Dali Dynasty in the Daheng cultivation world.
If it weren't for the special circumstances and urgent matters, Zhang Weineng would not have the right to use such a chess piece.
But after such a chess piece was exposed, he was killed on the spot by Xiao Jiansheng. This was really a tragic loss.
After putting in so much effort and seeing success imminent, he fell short because of Meng Zhang's relationship. One can imagine Zhang Weineng's hatred for Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang didn't know Zhang Weineng's mood, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
He flew all the way and soon met up with Taimiao at the appointed place.
Tai Miao and Xiao Jiansheng have been waiting for Meng Zhang for a while.
Seeing Meng Zhang appear, Xiao Jiansheng was finally relieved.
He knew enough not to ask about the relationship between Meng Zhang and this ghost, and waited for Meng Zhang's arrangements.
After all, Tai Miao's body is closer to that of a ghost and is not suitable for staying in the human world for a long time.
Meng Zhang took the Void Cauldron handed over by Tai Miao, and first sent Tai Miao back to the underworld, and then came back with Xiao Jiansheng and teleported all the way back to Maple Leaf Mountain City.
After arriving at this place, it was barely safe for the time being.
During this process, Xiao Jiansheng remained silent.
When they arrived at Maple Leaf Mountain City, Meng Zhang took the initiative to ask, and the two began to chat.
Meng Zhang learned the general story of his ambush from Xiao Jiansheng.
Xiao Jiansheng also learned about Zhang Weineng's situation in Jiuqu Province from Meng Zhang.
Although Xiao Jiansheng escaped with his life this time, he was seriously injured and had already been injured to his origin.
If you don't want to be cut off from this path, and if you want to retain the hope of going further, you need to heal your wounds.
Xiao Jiansheng was a kind-hearted person. He was grateful for Meng Zhang's life-saving grace and revealed a lot of information to him.
Because the injury on his body could not be delayed and he needed to retreat immediately, Xiao Jiansheng just hurriedly told Meng Zhang a few words.
He told Meng Zhang to be careful of Zhang Weineng. Zhang Weineng came to Daheng Cultivation Realm this time. In addition to ambushing him, Zhang Weineng should have other intentions.
As for what the intention is, Meng Zhang needs to find out for himself.
In addition, the situation within the four major cultivation giants in the Daheng cultivation world is not quite right. In addition to secretly indulging monsters, they may have other conspiracies.
Finally, Xiao Jiansheng revealed a secret to Meng Zhang that was not a secret.
The Purple Sun Sect has strong control over the monsters in the Black Jade Forest.
Since the last time he met Meng Zhang, he has restrained the monsters in the Black Jade Forest and told them not to harass Maple Leaf Mountain City.
The main force of monsters in the Black Jade Forest will not take the initiative to attack Maple Leaf Mountain City.
However, because the monsters are always scattered, a few low-level monsters will harass them from time to time, which is inevitable.
From now on, Meng Zhang no longer needs to waste so much energy on guarding against the Black Jade Forest.
Even if Xiao Jiansheng didn't say anything about this, Meng Zhang could have guessed it.
When the Dali Dynasty's conquest army just teleported to Daheng Cultivation World, it was attacked by the black jade forest brigade of monsters.
At that time, many people speculated whether the Purple Sun Sect had any means to control the monsters in the Black Jade Forest.
Later, Zhang Weineng formed an alliance with the Shui Tribe of Jiuqu River and also had the purpose of targeting the Black Jade Forest.
Meng Zhang originally had many questions to ask, such as Ziyang Shengzong's layout in the world of Daheng cultivation and what his next plan was.
But Xiao Jiansheng was busy in retreat, so he couldn't delay others.
Xiao Jiansheng did not waste any more time, so he chose a secret room in Maple Leaf Mountain City and began to retreat for healing.
At this time, Meng Zhang had time to slowly think about the pros and cons of saving Xiao Jiansheng.
The benefits are of course visible. Xiao Jiansheng's attitude towards Meng Zhang just now made Meng Zhang feel sincerity.
He only had contact with Xiao Jiansheng twice, but Meng Zhang had a general understanding of his character.
With this life-saving grace, Meng Zhang will always be cared for by Xiao Jiansheng as long as he does not become an enemy of the Purple Sun Sect.
As for the disadvantage, it makes Zhang Wei Neng hold a grudge.
Anyway, regardless of whether this happened or not, Zhang Weineng was very wary of Meng Zhang and had no good intentions.
If given the chance, Zhang Wei could decide not to let Meng Zhang go easily.
Meng Zhang doesn't feel itchy if he has too many lice, and doesn't worry if he has too many accounts. He doesn't care if Zhang Wei can record today's sum more.
Anyway, neither he nor Zhang Weineng is ready to completely break up with each other now.
However, after what happened today, Meng Zhang's original plan to join forces with Zhang Weineng to attack the extraterritorial invaders in Yunwu Daze should have come to nothing.
Now that Xiao Jiansheng is in retreat to heal his injuries, Meng Zhang cannot rely on the power of the Purple Sun Sect for the time being.
There was no other way, but Meng Zhang still made the choice that most cultivators would make, which was to give priority to preserving his own strength.
Since there is no external help, he is not prepared to fall out with the foreign invaders.
Meng Zhang did not rush back to Taiyimen Mountain Gate, but temporarily stayed in Maple Leaf Mountain City.
First, Xiao Jiansheng was still in seclusion to recover from his injuries, and Meng Zhang was personally sitting here to protect him.
Secondly, Meng Zhang also wanted to know the latest situation in the Daheng cultivation world.
Over the years, Yang Xueyi and Jin Qiaoer have been here for a long time and rarely leave.
Thanks to the efforts of their two true soul masters, the situation around Maple Leaf Mountain City has become stable.
Even the demonic disaster that ravaged most of the Daheng cultivation world barely affected this area.
In addition, the Taiyi Gate Secret Hall sent monks to take over the intelligence system here.
In addition to maintaining internal stability, it also actively sends spies to other areas of Daheng Cultivation World to find out the latest information.
However, under the demonic disaster, the world of Daheng Cultivation is full of war and chaos everywhere. Even the lone Master Jin Dan is in danger of falling when he wanders around outside.
It is difficult for the spies sent by the secret hall to survive outside, let alone find any information.
After so many years of hard work, the Dark Hall has not established an intelligence system throughout the Daheng cultivation world. It has only sent back some scattered information through a few spies.
Judging from the information Meng Zhang has at hand, the world of Daheng cultivation is still the same as it was many years ago.
The demon disaster is raging, and cultivators are attacking everywhere, but they are still unable to completely extinguish the demon disaster.
Xiao Jiansheng has been in the Daheng cultivation world for many years, and even personally led the local monks to fight against the demonic disaster.
The cicada woke up before the autumn wind moved. He must have noticed something before he solemnly reminded Meng Zhang.
But Meng Zhang couldn't even handle the affairs in Jiuqu Province, and he simply didn't have the ability to take care of both here and now.
In the Daheng cultivation world, if he can keep the foundation of Maple Leaf Mountain City and serve as a bridgehead in the future, it is already very good.
If he wanted to do more, Meng Zhang would be powerless.
Not long after Xiao Jiansheng went into seclusion, True Lord Mo Qing came secretly outside Maple Leaf Mountain City, stopped a group of Taiyi Sect disciples, and asked them to inform Meng Zhang that he wanted to see him.
No one in the Taiyi sect dared to neglect the message sent by a True Monarch of Yuanshen, and the message quickly reached Meng Zhang.
This is not the first time that Lord Mo Qing has met with Meng Zhang in private.
Meng Zhang, who had the Void Cauldron in his hand, was also an expert and daring person. He was not afraid of True Lord Mo Qing plotting against him and boldly went to keep the appointment.
The place where Lord Mo Qing and Yue Meng Zhang met was in a barren mountain not far from Maple Leaf Mountain City.
If a soul war breaks out here, the news will easily be transmitted back to Maple Leaf Mountain City.
Don't look at the fact that there are only two Yuanshen Lords in charge of Maple Leaf Mountain City, and they go out from time to time.
It is a pity that Maple Leaf Mountain City and Taiyi Gate Mountain Gate are directly connected by a long-distance teleportation array. If necessary, multiple Yuanshen True Lords can be teleported from there at any time.
Meng Zhang went to the appointment on time, and sure enough he met True Lord Mo Qing there.
When they met secretly in private, Zhenjun Moqing didn't have the tense look he had when they met before. Instead, he was very friendly.
Meng Zhang knew that there were many smiling faces among the demon cultivators, so he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
After the meeting, Zhenjun Mo Qing first casually chatted for a few words, reminisced about old times with Meng Zhang, and made friends, and then said straight to the point, Xiao Jiansheng must have been saved by him.
Meng Zhang knew that there was no point in lying in front of an understanding person like Zhenjun Moqing, but he would not admit it directly and could only respond with silence.
Even if the two get along in private, Meng Zhang, who is cautious, will not give others any leverage.
To be continued...
