A disciple of a large sect like Xiao Qiao is always so self-righteous.

Once he has determined something in his mind, he will stick to it and stick to it.

Now, he thought that the monster army's attack on Meng Zhang was just a bait, so that he could lead the army to rescue him, and then take the opportunity to ambush the army he led on the way.

What Meng Zhang encountered was not the main force of the monster army. The main force of the monster army had been preparing to ambush him.

"Meng Zhang is a loser. He just encountered a group of monsters and got into chaos. He asked for help randomly and almost ruined everything."

With resentment in his heart, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but cursed in front of everyone, as if he had completely forgotten that Meng Zhang had saved him, and he was full of gratitude to Meng Zhang at the beginning.

As for why the monsters did not retain their main force in both directions, it was because Xiao Qiao believed that the monster army did not have such strength.

If the monster army was really so powerful, it would have come directly to the door and wiped out the remaining monks in the Daheng Cultivation World.

He still believes that as long as the expeditionary army led by Meng Zhang successfully joins forces with him, and both sides join forces, they can defeat the monster army.

In this way, Xiao Qiao, who thought he had seen through the monster's conspiracy, remained silent and ignored the situation on Meng Zhang's side.

In order to avoid greater losses, he did not even send out the reconnaissance team.

Meng Zhang used space teleportation and took Zhenjun Nanzhu with him. After getting rid of Xiang Huanan, he quickly reunited with the evacuated human monks.

After escaping the pursuit of the monsters, the water tribe army and the human monks fled far away in one breath before finding a safe place to stay temporarily.

This is a huge lake with several large and small rivers converging here.

The human monks were treating their injuries and recuperating on the shore next to the lake.

The water tribe army is also slowly reorganizing itself in the lake.

After this battle, not only the human monks suffered heavy losses, but the water tribe army also paid a heavy price.

The Shui Tribe army actually participated in the war for a short period of time, but in just such a period of time, it lost almost a quarter of its troops.

The strength of the monster was beyond everyone's expectations. The mermaid prince, who was still somewhat dedicated to exorcising monsters, became sluggish.

When Meng Zhang and Nanzhu Zhenjun came to join them, they saw a large number of defeated soldiers below? Meng Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The total number of the expeditionary force on this expedition exceeded 30,000.

But many of the low-level monks are just making up the numbers and have little combat effectiveness.

In addition, many conscripted production monks who are good at alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making are also placed in the logistics department of the army. If they are not forced to go to the battlefield, they will not be asked to go to the battlefield.

And the more than 5,000 monks dispatched this time? Not only are they elites, but they are basically fighting monks.

After this battle? It was just a rough count? The remaining number was less than a thousand.

Of course, many monks fell on the battlefield and were separated from the group.

If you are extremely lucky, some monks may survive.

Defeated this time? The expeditionary army was seriously weakened.

Of course? This defeat was also related to Meng Zhang’s selfish thoughts.

If he had not thought of preserving his strength, but had brought the entire expeditionary army over, the outcome would have been hard to say.

But Meng Zhang did not do this, and selected cannon fodder monks in advance.

That's because Meng Zhang always remembers one thing firmly, that he is the leader of Taiyi Sect? Taiyi Sect is his foundation.

What if he led the entire expeditionary force and encountered an ambush like this? A battle with monsters.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the expeditionary army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

If all the Taiyi Sect monks were lost? Even if the monsters were defeated and the demonic disaster was quelled? That would be of no benefit to Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang is willing to participate in the battle to quell the demonic disaster? The premise is that the Taiyi Sect monks cannot suffer too much loss.

Not enough Taiyi Sect monks? Not to mention that he can’t control the territory of Daheng Cultivation World, he can’t even hold the Jiuqu Province.

Meng Zhang knew even more clearly that it was precisely because he had the powerful Taiyi Sect under him that he was of sufficient use value in the eyes of the Purple Sun Sect.

If you don't use your brain and use all the strength in your hands, it will be really difficult to gain a foothold in the future.

On the other hand, even if the demon disaster spreads again, even to the Jiuqu Province, as long as you have enough strength at hand, you can completely abandon the current foundation and start a new business somewhere else.

Moreover, after Xiao Qiao's unreliability was exposed this time, Meng Zhang could no longer fight monsters with confidence and had to watch his own back.

Ziyang Shengzong sent monks like Xiao Qiao to take charge of the overall situation. In order to protect himself, Meng Zhang tried his best to preserve his strength.

Now that he was separated from the monster and the communication device could be used normally, Meng Zhang contacted Xiao Qiao again.

The communication had just been restored, and before Meng Zhang had time to speak, he was greeted by Xiao Qiao's accusation.

Xiao Qiao accused Meng Zhang of being too timid and only knowing how to preserve his strength.

When encountering a monster, I didn't even understand the monster's strength, so I hurriedly asked for help, almost missing an important event.

Meng Zhang was stunned for a moment, almost confused by the scolding.

Both the human monk army and the water tribe army suffered heavy losses and managed to escape. Could all this be faked?

Xiao Qiao didn't listen to Meng Zhang's explanation at all, and just scolded him, thinking that Meng Zhang was easy to bully.

After scolding, Xiao Qiao gave the order directly without waiting for Meng Zhang to react.

Meng Zhang was asked to lead his army to join him as soon as possible. We must not waste any more time.

If Meng Zhang delayed the military flight, don't blame him for not remembering the old relationship.

Meng Zhang was too lazy to argue with him, knowing that it would be useless.

Meng Zhang ended the call directly without caring about Xiao Qiao's possible reaction.

Meng Zhang gave him face for the sake of the Purple Sun Sect.

Since the other party was so rude, he wouldn't be polite either.

Meng Zhang could see clearly that the losses incurred in this battle were enough to silence the Purple Sun Sect.

Even if Xiao Qiao wanted to put pressure on Meng Zhang through the sect, Meng Zhang would still have something to say.

Now Meng Zhang still has a lot of use value, and the senior officials of Ziyang Holy Sect must not be so indiscriminate and blindly favor Xiao Qiao.

Apart from the Ziyang Holy Sect, Meng Zhang simply ignored Xiao Qiao.

Meng Zhang doesn't even have the thought to deal with Xiao Qiao now, let alone accept his random orders.

When the Shui Tribe army and the human monks have finished resting, Meng Zhang will lead everyone to retreat and return to the Shui Tribe's lair.

It wasn't just Meng Zhang's army of monks who suffered huge losses this time.
