Chapter 176 New Situation
Ruan Dadao did not expect that Meng Zhang would become so aggressive not long after he successfully established the foundation.
Not only is the current Taiyi Sect no longer the target of annexation by others, it has also proactively embarked on the road of foreign conquest and annexation.
Next, the surrounding situation first became complicated and chaotic, with various cultivation forces forming alliances with each other and conquering each other.
It took several months for the situation to become clear.
From the destruction of Shuangfeng Valley, the Liu family and Qingzhushan were the ones who benefited the most.
The two forces were originally on the same level as Shuangfenggu. Even though their strength was much inferior to Shuangfenggu, they still had rich heritage and accumulation. They had many disciples, including many masters.
With the tacit approval of Feihong Sect, except for the gate of Shuangfeng Valley which was occupied by Feihong Sect, most of the rest of Shuangfeng Valley fell into the hands of these two families.
The combined forces of these two families swept all the way, attacked the city, and broke through most of Shuangfeng Valley's strongholds. All Shuangfeng Valley disciples who dared to resist were killed one after another.
Because the Feihong Sect deeply hated Shuangfeng Valley, these two families killed all the remaining forces of Shuangfeng Valley and would never accept the refuge of Shuangfeng Valley disciples. They also sent out a special pursuit team to hunt down the fleeing people everywhere.
Disciple of Shuangfenggu.
The surviving Shuangfenggu disciples scattered and fled, and Taiyi Sect took the opportunity to absorb many of them.
Although Lin Quanguan produced the Jindan Master Guangzhi, he did not get any benefit at all and instead shrank away.
As long as the matter between Guangzhi Zhenren and the Feihong Sect was not resolved, Lin Quanguan had to put his tail between his legs and be a good man. For fear of irritating the Feihong Sect, the masters of the sect impulsively destroyed Lin Quanguan.
No matter how much he covets the legacy left by the Double Plenty Valley, Lin Quanguan doesn't dare to reach out randomly at this time.
In addition to directly controlling a relatively wealthy territory, Shuangfeng Valley also has many vassal forces that rule some remote and remote mountains and remote areas.
These remote areas are ruled by forces like Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect.
After years of changes, some families were wiped out by sand monsters, and some lost their inheritance and perished themselves. Of course, new forces were also born.
After so many years, there were originally more than a dozen vassal forces.
After several months of fighting, there were only four foundation-building sects left.
The Qiaoshou Sect and the Golden Knife Sect joined forces and became the most powerful force, swallowing the richest loot and annexing most of the vassals that originally belonged to Shuangfeng Valley.
The Linshan Sect, which was originally the most powerful, adopted a retreat strategy when faced with the alliance between the Qiaoshou Sect and the Golden Knife Sect. Instead of directly competing with them, they just swallowed the results at home and did not expand further.
The Taiyi Sect, which was originally weak, would have become a target for annexation by others if Meng Zhang had not successfully established its foundation.
Meng Zhang became a foundation-building monk, so he naturally gained a certain degree of appeal.
Loose cultivators from all walks of life, the remaining monks from Shuangfeng Valley, and other annihilated forces that slipped through the net. Many remaining defeated generals were gathered together by Meng Zhang. It was a large group of rabble, which could at least be used to bluff people.
Commanding his soldiers and generals, Meng Zhang also attacked everywhere, and really gained a lot of benefits and occupied a lot of territory.
For major cultivation forces, territory is the foundation of their existence.
The larger the territory and the richer it is, the more cultivation resources it can provide. The larger the territory and the larger the population, the more disciples it can provide.
The combined forces of the Qiaoshou Sect and the Golden Knife Sect first swept through all the Qi Refining Sects. After they were done, they found that the Taiyi Sect, which had been left aside, was not idle either. Taking advantage of this opportunity, they also expanded everywhere.
Now, a new situation has taken shape.
The Qiaoshou Sect and the Golden Knife Sect are the strongest, the Linshan Sect can protect itself, and the Taiyi Sect seems to be the weakest.
Outside, after the Liu family and Qingzhushan annexed the direct jurisdiction of Shuangfeng Valley, they were also eyeing the area where their vassals were located and were ready to take action at any time.
The territory of these vassals is a little barren, but mosquito legs are still meat no matter how thin they are.
Qiaoshou Sect, Jindao Sect, Linshan Sect and Taiyi Sect, facing the Liu family and Qingzhushan who are pressing every step of the way, where should they go?
At this time, the Linshan Sect, which had been relatively conservative recently, sent envoys to visit the other three sects.
The envoy of the Linshan Sect proposed that the four families join forces to maintain their independent status and compete with the Liu family and Qingzhushan.
To be honest, among the four forces, it is not that no one has ever thought of taking the initiative to join the Liu family or Qingzhu Mountain. However, it is difficult for these people to get enough support within the sect.
The Liu family acted sinisterly, and the vassal forces under them had a very difficult time.
As for Qingzhu Mountain, let alone it. It looks kind, but is actually mean and vicious. In the past few years, just because of a treasure, it completely wiped out the vassal Yang family, and its reputation was quite bad.
Now it seems that although Shuangfenggu acted a little domineeringly, it was not particularly harsh, and it was probably acceptable in terms of face.
After having tasted the feeling of being the master of one's own affairs, who would still want to be someone's vassal?
The envoy of the Linshan Sect walked around the three sects and gained everyone's support, which greatly moved the leaders of the three sects.
The most critical question now is whether the four sects can resist the Liu family and Qingzhushan's alliance.
If the difference in strength is too far, everyone should surrender early. Being a slave and suffering a little is better than losing your life in vain. In the world of cultivation, there are only a few cultivators who would rather die than surrender, and the heroes who understand current affairs are the mainstream.
.
A few days later, Meng Zhang, the head of the Taiyi Sect, Ruan Dadao, the veteran sect leader of the Jindao Sect, and Aunt Jin, the elder of the Qiaoshou Sect, all came to the Linshan Sect at the same time.
Two foundation-building elders of the Linshan sect, Xu Yishan and Lin Shenpo, came forward to receive everyone at the same time.
Today's meeting is related to the next decision of the four sects. If you make the wrong decision, you will be in danger of annihilation.
The Qi Refining Stage heads of the three sects cannot be the masters of this important matter, which is a matter of life and death for the sect. They must invite the Foundation Establishment Stage monks who are truly in charge.
However, Meng Zhang, the youngest, continued to serve as the leader of Taiyi Sect after establishing his foundation.
Meng Zhang was very ambitious and believed that the Taiyi Sect under his leadership would definitely have more than just a foundation-building sect.
Several foundation-building monks discussed it secretly and quickly made a decision.
According to intelligence analysis, the strength of the four families who have joined forces is not much weaker than that of the Liu family and Qingzhushan. No one is willing to surrender like this, so everyone has to do it first.
Next, the four sects began to mobilize their disciples and prepare their troops for war.
Of course, the movements of the four sects cannot be hidden from anyone. The Liu family and Qingzhushan also began to mobilize their disciples and rushed to the front, ready to take action at any time.
This area has generally maintained peace for many years, but with the demise of Shuangfeng Valley, one battle after another broke out.
