Chapter 768 Unity
Originally, the strength of the Jiuqu Alliance was not as good as that of the Dali Dynasty. Now that the south has fallen, nearly half of the cultivation forces have been destroyed. The north, under the leadership of the Jade Sword Sect alone, will probably be even more difficult to fight against the Dali Dynasty.
When the nest is overturned, there will be no intact eggs. If the entire Jiuqu Alliance is destroyed, Taiyi Sect will not be able to survive alone.
When that time comes, will the Dali Dynasty still let Taiyi Sect go?
At this time, Meng Zhang even felt a little regretful in his heart. Did he take the wrong side? If he had endured the harsh conditions and agreed to join the Dali Dynasty and Taiyi Sect when he first came into contact with Wen Dongzhenjun.
Will there be a better future?
This thought flashed through Meng Zhang's mind and was quickly thrown away.
Now that the matter has come to this, what's the use of thinking about it anymore?
Besides, even if it comes to the last moment, Taiyi Sect cannot protect its territory on the Yaofeng Gobi and Endless Sand Sea. On the other side of Daheng Cultivation World, Meng Zhang has reserved a retreat for Taiyi Sect.
However, if it really comes to that step, Taiyi Sect will suffer extremely heavy losses. Not to mention being knocked back to its original shape, at least the sect's hundreds of years of accumulation will be in vain, and many aspects will have to start from scratch.
Moreover, looking at the expansion momentum of the Dali Dynasty, if the Jiuqu Alliance fails to stop its expansion, the Daheng Cultivation World may be its next target of conquest.
It was useless to think about these things now, Meng Zhang returned his mind to expelling the power of the avenue from his body and treating his injuries.
When he was above Nine Heavens, with Xu Mengying's help, his injuries had stabilized. He only needed a little hard work and slow cultivation before he could fully recover.
Later, in order to save Zhenjun He Luo and others, they had to take action with injuries, which resulted in more injuries. Now they have to spend more time treating their injuries.
Fortunately, it seems that the Jade Sword Sect can stabilize the situation for the time being and does not force Meng Zhang to go to the battlefield.
During his free time while recovering from his injuries, Meng Zhang casually browsed through the batch of classics he brought back this time.
Originally, he thought that the Bamboo Rhythm Picture was his biggest gain this time. With the Taiyi Sect's inherited classics, he really didn't think much of other classics. At most, he only used them as a reference.
But after a cursory look at these classics, he realized that he had greatly underestimated this pile of things.
The senior Yuanshen who left this pile of classics is really a great talent. There are two complete sets of exercises in the Yuanshen stage. There are also detailed descriptions of the cultivation in the Yuanshen stage.
In particular, some of the secret magic powers and cultivation tips recorded in it were of great help to Meng Zhang.
In addition to the cultivation techniques, it also contains a lot of content on the various arts of cultivation, from alchemy to weapon refining, it covers almost everything and is extremely detailed.
Now that time is limited, Meng Zhang did not have time to slowly read and organize these classics. He only took a rough look at them and put them in the Menzhong Sutra Pavilion, and then slowly packed and organized them when he had time.
No wonder Lord Yue Feng tried his best to seize these classics.
With these classics, not only are they enough to make up for his shortcomings in cultivation techniques, but they can even serve as the basis for re-establishing a brand new sect.
While Meng Zhang was in seclusion to recover from his injuries, the situation in the Jiuqu League continued to change.
After the Dali Dynasty conquered the southern part of the Jiuqu League, they did not stop their conquests, but continued to march north.
The army broke through all obstacles along the way and arrived at the Huanglian Sacred Mountain, the main altar of Huanglian Sect.
At this point, the Dali Dynasty finally encountered resistance.
After returning to Huanglian Holy Mountain, Xu Mengying, the saint of Huanglian Sect, announced the death of True Monarch Yue Feng.
True Lord Yue Feng colluded with the Dali Dynasty, betrayed the Jiuqu Alliance, and attempted to ambush her, but she has successfully counterattacked.
True Lord Xu Haoran, who had only a few days to live and was quietly waiting for death, saw the situation in the Jiuqu Alliance change dramatically, and he still stepped forward to help Xu Mengying stabilize the situation within the Huanglian Sect.
Although many people in the Huanglian Sect General Forum were still half-convinced by the news that True Lord Yue Feng was dead, Xu Mengying relied on her cultivation at the Yuan Shen stage to forcefully subdue everyone and take control of the power of the General Forum.
After taking control of the Huanglian Sect's main altar, Xu Mengying sent her cronies to spread the word to separate the altars in various places.
As long as the local branches obey the main altar, she will forget about it and accept the local branches again.
Without True Monarch Yue Feng to stand in the way, Xu Mengying, as True Monarch of Yuanshen, is still very authoritative and has gained some verbal support from different circles.
The long-missing elder of the Hedong branch, Xiaolian Zhenren, suddenly appeared and took the initiative to seek refuge with Xu Mengying. He returned to the Hedong branch with Xu Mengying's cronies, regained control of the Hedong branch, and made the Hedong branch loyal to Xu Mengying.
The Huanglian Sect's Hedong branch itself is also a very powerful large-scale branch. Under its influence, more branches fell in favor of Xu Mengying.
At this time, the army of the Dali Dynasty was attacking the city in the south of the Jiuqu League and mopping up the disobedient people.
Some of the Jiuqu League's branches in the south were forced to surrender, while others gave up everything and moved to the north.
To be honest, with the harsh attitude of the Dali Dynasty towards various cultivating forces, I am afraid that few cultivating forces would be willing to take refuge.
The consistent style of the Dali Dynasty is not a secret, and the top leaders of all major cultivation forces have heard about it.
Especially after the hostility between the Dali Dynasty and the Jiuqu League, in the territory of the Jiuqu League, there were dedicated people who went around to publicize how the Dali Dynasty was cruel and cruel, how cruel it was, and how it cruelly treated the cultivators under its rule...
In the south of Jiuqu League, on the land newly conquered by the Dali Dynasty, many cultivators who were unwilling to accept the rule of the Dali Dynasty began to flee north in a hurry.
When Xu Mengying unified the entire Huanglian Sect, she also made her position clear and chose the Jade Sword Sect's camp.
At the beginning, True Lord Yue Feng was wavering between the Qingyuan Sect and the Jade Sword Sect. He was waiting for a price to sell, but he secretly defected to the Dali Dynasty.
As soon as Xu Mengying came to power, she took the initiative to join the Jade Sword Sect and invited the Jade Sword Sect monks to settle in Huanglian Holy Mountain to help fight against the invasion of the Dali Dynasty.
Xu Mengying's attitude is exactly what the Jade Sword Sect desires.
In fact, after receiving the news of the Qingyuan Sect's sudden change, the Jade Sword Sect had already started taking action.
The Jade Sword Sect ordered all the major cultivation forces in its camp to prepare for the war with all their strength, and also recruited a number of Yuanshen True Lords.
After receiving Xu Mengying's invitation, Fei Guozhen of the Jade Sword Sect first led a group of Yuanshen Lords to settle in Huanglian Holy Mountain. Then the army of monks organized by the Jade Sword Sect arrived one after another to help the Huanglian Sect build a defense line.
The monks who escaped from the south were also intercepted near Huanglian Holy Mountain. After identification, only a few were able to continue their journey north.
Most of them were recruited by the Jade Sword Sect and joined the temporary defense line as garrison monks, preparing to resist the invasion of the Dali Dynasty.
