As soon as the magic circle was activated, layers of mist-like fine sand immediately rose up in the hills, covering all the surrounding situations.
Under the cover of fine sand, the surrounding scene became blurry and difficult to see clearly.
Several hillsides surrounded the valley in the middle, and rocks of different sizes began to appear on the periphery of these hillsides.
These stones are transformed by the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins. As the array is deployed for a longer period of time, the accumulated stones will gradually increase.
As long as the enemy breaks into the formation, these stones will be weapons of defense and offense.
Although the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins is basically locked by the magic circle, it is impossible not to leak any spiritual energy.
With the nourishment of spiritual energy, various vegetation will slowly appear around you, and the desert will turn into an oasis.
The slope where the spiritual veins are located was named Chaoyang Slope by Meng Zhang.
The protective array was successfully erected, and Meng Zhang was half relieved. With this first-level high-grade rock formation and sand formation as its support, the Taiyi Sect can completely defeat the weak and the strong, and defeat the many with the few.
Wen Qiansuan's accomplishments in formations were recognized by Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang left him behind to let him familiarize himself with the control of the rocks and sand formation.
There is a huge difference in power between a magic circle controlled by someone and a magic circle controlled by no one.
The disciples in the sect, after finishing their business in Lingtian, were gathered together by Meng Zhang to conduct various drills.
Time passed like this, and the changes outside Chaoyang Slope became more and more obvious.
The scope of the rocky sand formation is limited and can only cover the area around a few hillsides. As for places further away, there is no hope.
The surrounding hills began to slowly turn green. Various vegetation began to appear on the originally desolate desert.
Finally, a passing cultivator accidentally discovered the changes here.
In the Endless Sand Sea, a large amount of vegetation appears on the original desert. The most likely scenario is that new spiritual veins have appeared around it.
This casual cultivator also wanted to come closer, thinking that he could gain some advantages, but was discovered by Meng Zhang and expelled.
Meng Zhang did not kill anyone to silence him because it was not necessary.
This is a place where people come and go, and it is impossible for you to kill every monk who notices the changes here.
Sure enough, two more monks from Shuangfeng Valley passed by here the next day.
The two came closer and found that spiritual veins appeared here and a protective circle was set up, so they began to inquire about the situation.
Meng Zhang could not simply expel the monks in Shuangfeng Valley.
Meng Zhang received them personally and explained them respectfully.
These two Shuangfenggu monks only asked questions in a routine manner, which helped the sect understand the surrounding situations at all times.
The emergence of a new first-level spiritual vein is not a big deal to them, so just ask about it.
However, before leaving, they did not forget to remind Meng Zhang that the newly reclaimed spiritual field has a three-year exemption period. Three years later, according to the number of spiritual fields, it will be handed over to Shuangfeng Valley for enshrinement.
After the two Shuangfenggu monks left, monks passing by one after another discovered the situation here.
Half a month later, the Zhao family finally learned that a brand new spiritual vein had appeared at the junction of their family and the Taiyi Sect.
Soon after, the envoy sent by the Zhao family arrived outside Chaoyang Slope.
The envoy of the Zhao family was Zhao Dong, an old acquaintance of Meng Zhang. Looking at the situation on Chaoyangpo, he felt very depressed.
The Taiyi Sect was so lucky that they were able to discover a brand new spiritual vein. Even if it's just a first-level spiritual vein, it's worth grabbing for the Zhao family.
Meng Zhang did not invite Zhao Dong in, but turned him away. Standing outside the protective circle, he stared at Zhao Dong coldly.
Although I know that words are useless, and both sides will definitely have a fight. But after all, everyone is the so-called decent family, and they are all vassals of Shuangfenggu. The face-saving skills that need to be talked about must be talked about, and the cutscenes that need to be carried out must be carried out.
As a result, the two began to bicker and argue with each other.
The Zhao family's tone is very simple. This is the Zhao family's sphere of influence. It has been invaded by the Taiyi Sect for no reason. The Taiyi Sect must retreat immediately and apologize to the Zhao family.
Meng Zhang's rhetoric was equally simple. This place has been the sacred and indivisible territory of Taiyi Sect since ancient times, and Taiyi Sect will never take a step back.
After you and I talked nonsense for a long time, the negotiation officially broke down.
Zhao Dong said a few harsh words and left immediately.
The next day, Zhao Dong sent a letter of challenge.
Fifteen days later, the Zhao family and the Taiyi sect fought here to decide the ownership of this spiritual vein.
Meng Zhang accepted the letter of war and agreed to start the war.
This approach echoes the rules of Shuangfeng Valley and is also a common method used by the vassal forces under Shuangfeng Valley to resolve disputes.
This kind of open battle has certain rules and restrictions.
No matter how many dirty things you have done in private, whether you kill people, seize treasures, or bully the weak with a gun, in this kind of public battle, you must be upright and cannot lose your noble and upright demeanor, especially you cannot let someone who has always been a face-saving person Shuangfenggu felt ashamed.
In such a battle, many insidious methods cannot be used. Moreover, it is best for the battle to end immediately and not cause a large number of casualties.
Meng Zhang made some calculations and realized that the Houtu God General was now in deep sleep. There were not many Taiyi Sect disciples and their cultivation was even weaker.
Although Meng Zhang had in his hands a second-level talisman obtained from the Li family's secret treasure house, as well as a second-level puppet. But these trump cards cannot be used lightly.
After all, the Zhao family is also a family that has produced foundation-building monks, so they must also have some trump cards in their hands.
If you don't want to escalate the battle easily, you can't use these methods.
What really determines the outcome is the Taiyi Sect disciples.
It has been more than four years since Meng Zhang took over as the head of Taiyi Sect, and some disciples have been admitted to the sect one after another. Now the number of disciples of Taiyi Sect is in double digits after all.
Except for the two disciples who had just started practicing and were not even at the first level of Qi Refining, all other members of the Taiyi Sect, including Taoist Priest Qingling, Wang's father and son, were called to Chaoyang Slope by Meng Zhang.
Except for Meng Zhang, there are a total of fifteen members.
Among them, the ones with the highest cultivation level are Taoist Master Tian Zhen and Qing Ling who are at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Because the main combat strategy is to rely on the formation of rocks and sand to hold on. So Meng Zhang asked Wen Qiansuan, who was proficient in formations, to direct everyone.
Everyone began to get busy and began to practice how to cooperate and how to control the magic circle.
Meng Zhang was not idle either. In addition to completing Wen Qiansuan's commission, he also had to go out for help.
The reason why the Zhao family decided to start the war after the fifteenth day was to allow enough time for both sides to find qualified witnesses.
This can be regarded as another major feature of this type of battle.
The outcome of the battle depends not only on the battlefield, but also on the skills outside the battlefield.
