With Zhou Shengkao as a witness, Gu Dashan seemed useless.
However, this time, after all, it was Meng Zhang who begged Shi Weiming, and he also tried his best to help. If he changes his mind midway, it will not only damage the relationship between the two parties, but also damage Meng Zhang's credibility.
Therefore, Meng Zhang still used Gu Dashan as a witness.
Anyway, for Shi Weiming's sake, this person offered a friendly price, which only required an appearance fee of two hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Compared with Zhou Shengkao's appearance fee of 3,500 spirit stones, this price is very conscientious.
Shi Weiming arranged for the two to meet.
Gu Dashan is a tall old man with a kind face.
Meng Zhang got in touch with him and found that this person was not difficult to get along with.
When discussing with Zhou Shengkao, Meng Zhang was originally prepared to use his telepathy to read his mind.
But first of all, Zhou Shengkao, like him, was a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, so it was difficult to read too detailed information.
Secondly, after all, we were at Shan Ying's residence at that time. Who knows if Shan Ying was paying attention behind his back.
Therefore, Meng Zhang suppressed his curiosity and did not read Zhou Shengkao's thoughts.
Now facing Gu Dashan, Meng Zhang couldn't help but use his psychic powers to read his mind.
The result was very satisfying to Meng Zhang. Gu Dashan had good conduct and would do things well after receiving the spirit stone.
In addition, Meng Zhang also discovered something related to Gu Tanghai in Gu Dashan's heart.
Meng Zhang secretly wrote down this incident to see if there would be any opportunity to benefit from it in the future.
After coming out of Mingshafang City, Meng Zhang led Li Xuan and Zhang Zhanlin back to Chaoyangpo without stopping.
Returning to Chaoyangpo, Meng Zhang handed him the items Wen Qiansuan entrusted him to buy, and then everyone got into the intense drill.
Time passed quickly, and the fifteen days passed by in an instant.
On the day of the battle between the Zhao family and Taiyimen, a large number of spectators gathered around Chaoyangpo early in the morning.
These spectators come from all directions, some are members of the surrounding cultivation forces, some are casual cultivators who often move around, and there are even tourists from further afield.
On the tallest hills nearby, it was almost a sea of people.
Two cultivating forces publicly engage in a battle. This is really a good show.
The melon-eaters just had to move out their benches and take out their melon seeds.
Meng Zhang and the disciples of the Taiyi Sect stood behind the protective formation and were ready.
A flying boat flew into the sky, accompanied by several red-feathered eagles.
The flying boat and the red-feathered eagle landed on a hillside not far away.
There are children of the Zhao family who have arrived here in advance and have taken up space, waiting for the arrival of the large group of people.
Zhao Jiudou appeared on the hillside with Zhao Dong and a group of Zhao family members.
This hillside was designated in advance as a location for witnesses from both sides to watch the battle.
Shortly after Zhao Jiudou and others appeared, Meng Zhang came to the hillside with a cold face and waited with him for the arrival of witnesses from both sides.
The first ones to arrive were the sect leader of the Flying Eagle Sect, Chen Zhentian, and the heads of several surrounding small forces.
As soon as they appeared on their monster beast mounts, they came directly behind Zhao Jiudou.
Zhao Dong glanced at Meng Zhang with a look of interest, and thought to himself: It doesn't matter if this boy Meng Zhang is good at swordsmanship. The Taiyi Sect is too weak and does not have the connections of the Zhao family.
"Master Meng, where are the witnesses invited by your Taiyi Sect? Could it be that you can't invite anyone?"
Meng Zhang was too lazy to deal with such a small person, so he lowered his status out of thin air.
After a while, Gu Dashan rushed up the hillside on a monster mount.
"I'm sorry, Master Meng, I met some old friends on the road and exchanged a few words with each other, so I was almost late."
"It's still early, Senior Gu came just in time." Meng Zhang said with a smile.
Gu Dashan is also a celebrity in the nearby area. As soon as he appeared, many people recognized his identity.
After Gu Dashan greeted Meng Zhang, he waved to some acquaintances, and then came to Meng Zhang's side.
Gu Dashan, who had a foundation-building monk as his backer, made the witnesses invited by the Zhao family feel a little embarrassed.
If there is a dispute later, it seems a bit unworthy to confront the nephew of a foundation-building monk just for the sake of a little friendship with the Zhao family.
Of course, no matter how arrogant Gu Tanghai was, he would not directly come to embarrass these forces because of his nephew's grudges.
However, if you really offend the foundation-building monks, you can make these forces very sad by just doing something.
Zhao Jiudou's expression remained unchanged, and he greeted Gu Dashan gracefully.
A clear sound of cranes came from the sky. A blue crane and a yellow crane flew to the top of the hillside and landed quickly.
Jin Qigu, the head of the Qiaoshou Sect, and Ruan Yuan, the head of the Golden Knife Sect, whom Meng Zhang had met in the Linshan Sect, got off the crane and came to the crowd.
Crane-type monsters are flying monsters that human cultivators often ride.
In the endless sand sea where cultivation resources are very poor, those who can raise flying monsters can at least be regarded as small rich.
Meng Zhang was also very envious. The flying monster mount was very cool and practical to ride on. He really wanted to get one for himself.
Meng Zhang, who was having random thoughts in his mind, like Zhao Jiudou, said hello to the two heads respectively.
The head of the Qiaoshou Sect, Jin Qigu, still has the same temperament as a talkative aunt, greeting people around her with some enthusiasm.
Seeing Gu Dashan next to Meng Zhang, he said with a smile: "Old Gu, you are collecting money to do things for others this time. You just like to make small money, and you are too short-sighted."
"Tell me, how many spiritual stones have you defrauded Master Xiaomeng this time?"
As soon as Jin Qigu finished speaking, a cold snort came.
"snort."
"I dare to make any money, and I am not afraid of getting into big trouble that day and losing myself in it."
Ruan Yuan, the head of the Golden Knife Sect, said neither yin nor yang.
Qiaoshou Sect and Golden Knife Sect were both sects with foundation-building monks, and they would not care about a casual cultivator like Gu Tanghai.
If Gu Tanghai himself were here, Jin Qigu and Ruan Yuan might still give him some face. Gu Dashan was just Gu Tanghai's nephew, so he really didn't take him seriously.
Gu Dashan's face didn't look good, and he felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have taken a trip into this muddy water.
When Jin Qigu saw Meng Zhang, she said directly and carelessly: "Headmaster Xiao Meng, I was originally very optimistic about you. But how could you do such a stupid thing and actually seize the Zhao family's spiritual veins."
"Let's do this. You return the spiritual veins to the Zhao family and apologize again. For the sake of the old lady, the Zhao family will probably not pursue it."
"If I hadn't really liked you, I wouldn't have helped you like this."
"How about it, do you think what the old lady said makes sense?"
