Master Luo Ye took out a map, which showed the areas where the human pets raised by Golden Tiger had been.

The three Jindan Masters need to search these places separately to find the traces left by the predecessors of the Zijin Sect, so that they can choose a place to set up an ambush.

While Meng Zhang looked at the map, he asked someone to call Shi Changqing over.

The ancestor of the Shi family is a loyal vassal of the Zijin sect, and he may know some useful information.

Shi Changqing was brought to the three Jindan Masters and was extremely respectful, not even daring to speak out loud.

In the past, Shi Changqing defected to Meng Zhang and made the Shi family become a vassal of the Taiyi Sect. To a large extent, he had no choice but to feel unwilling to do so.

As Meng Zhang formed the golden elixir and returned, all the little thoughts in Shi Changqing's heart disappeared.

At Meng Zhang's age, as long as he doesn't die in an accident, he still has at least five to six hundred years to live.

Such a long time, even if Meng Zhang's cultivation level no longer improves, is enough to develop Taiyi Sect into a powerful sect that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Feihong Sect.

The ancestors of the Shi family were vassals of the Zijin sect, and now the Shi family has become a vassal of the promising Taiyi sect. There is nothing unacceptable about it.

After Meng Zhang formed the elixir, his natural supernatural powers and his mental powers also advanced.

Ordinary monks in the foundation building stage, as long as they have not practiced any special secret techniques, will have difficulty escaping his mind reading.

Although he did not deliberately read Shi Changqing's mind, the change in Shi Changqing's mentality was still not hidden from Meng Zhang.

Cultivators naturally pursue freedom and are unwilling to be restricted. The emergence of sects in the world of cultivation is already a limit.

No matter how strict the sect's management is, it is impossible to control all aspects of cultivators in the same way that ordinary officials manage ordinary people.

Especially Taoist sects, due to the influence of Taoist ethos, are even more loose in management.

A bloated and huge Taiyi Sect is not only difficult to manage, but also does not meet Meng Zhang's expectations. A territory that is too vast is also difficult to manage carefully and fully develop.

Supporting some reliable vassal forces can not only serve as the wings of Taiyi Sect and share many of Taiyi Sect's burdens. It can also more efficiently develop territories that Taiyi Sect cannot take care of.

As long as the Taiyi Sect remains strong and has a crushing advantage over the vassal forces, there is no need to worry about the loyalty of these vassal forces.

Faced with Meng Zhang's inquiry, Shi Changqing answered honestly, not daring to hide anything.

Although the Shi family was a loyal vassal of the Zijin sect back then, it was not the core after all. It was impossible for the Zijin sect to leak some important sect secrets to vassal families like the Shi family.

Regarding the questions asked by Meng Zhang about the True Monarch of the Purple Gold Sect's Yuanshen, Shi Changqing had no idea.

Shi Changqing's reaction was not beyond Meng Zhang's expectation. He was just trying to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

He waved Shi Changqing to retreat, but focused his attention on the map given by Master Luo Ye.

Suddenly, Meng Zhang's eyes narrowed and he focused on one place.

The place on the map is less than 300 miles away from Taiyi Gate and Laoshan Gate. It is a seemingly inconspicuous barren slope.

This place, even after decades, is still fresh in Meng Zhang's memory.

Back then, when Meng Zhang was still a young monk in the Qi refining stage, God General Houtu discovered a first-order spiritual vein there. Above the small spiritual vein, there was a hidden monk's cave.

Meng Zhang once went to explore the cave with General Houtu.

There, they met a group of casual cultivators.

According to the observation of General Houtu, the leader of this group of casual cultivators is a human pet raised by monsters.

After everyone entered the cave, the restrictions in the cave were triggered. God General Houtu risked his life to escape with Meng Zhang.

Later, God General Houtu told Meng Zhang that the methods in that cave involved too high a level of power, and even the Golden Core Stage monks might not be able to use such methods. Therefore, he did not tell Meng Zhang the specific circumstances.

Meng Zhang is now a Jindan Master after all. Even if he doesn’t have the means to crack it, he must be qualified to know about it. Moreover, this place involves the layout of the three Jindan Masters against Jin Hu, and it may be related to the seniors of the Zijin Sect. In any case,

, Meng Zhang needs to figure it out.

In the past, because Meng Zhang's cultivation level was too low, Houtu God would always hide something from him. Every time Meng Zhang asked about the past events of the Taiyi Sect, he would always talk about him.

The question this time was not about the old affairs of the Taiyi Sect, but about other things. God General Houtu would not continue to hide himself.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhang sent someone to invite the Houtu God to see him.

Speaking of which, after Meng Zhang formed the golden elixir and returned to the sect, he had not had a chance to have a good chat with the Houtu God General.

If there is a chance, Meng Zhang really wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with God General Houtu and learn more about the Taiyi Sect's past from him.

While waiting for General Houtu to arrive, Meng Zhang, Gu Yue Youlan, and Luo Ye Zhenren continued to check the map.

Just from the map, I really can't tell much about it.

I just know that the human monks sent by Golden Tiger have their footprints almost all over the endless sand sea, walking around and reaching many places.

They must be looking for something, but they just don't know if they can find anything.

The three of them discussed it but had no idea.

Master Luo Ye's original plan was to create some strange phenomena there and let the news spread, no matter what mysteries were in these places.

With Jin Hu's attention to those places, he will definitely pay attention to their movements frequently. When he hears the news of strange phenomena, he will probably not be able to help himself and come to investigate.

At that time, it was time for Master Luo Ye and his helpers to surround and kill him.

However, Meng Zhang felt that Master Luo Ye's plan was a bit too crude and needed to be improved. Moreover, he himself was also very interested in the arrangements left by Master Yuanshen of the Purple Gold Sect.

While the three of them were discussing, General Houtu came over.

God General Houtu has been in the mountain gate recently, and he respects the leader Meng Zhang enough. As long as it is not involved in certain matters, he almost obeys Meng Zhang's words.

Upon hearing the news of Meng Zhang's summons, he rushed over immediately.

Meng Zhang did not shy away and directly talked about the incident in front of Master Luo Ye and Gu Yue Youlan.

Hearing Meng Zhang talk about this matter, General Houtu told him bluntly.

His cultivation back then was far from recovered, and his eyesight was not sharp enough to see through the layout there, so he almost got trapped in it.

Because he discovered that that place involved great power at the ultra-distant golden elixir stage, he did not approach that place again even though his strength began to slowly recover.

Houtu Divine General was originally a very cautious person. He felt that the Taiyi Sect had fallen to this point and it was really inappropriate to get involved in some powerful arrangements.
