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 Shuangfeng Valley. Even though their strength was much inferior to Shuangfeng Valley, they still had rich heritage and accumulation. He has 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 allied 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 Shuangfenggu, these two families killed all the remaining forces of Shuangfenggu and would never accept the refuge of Shuangfenggu disciples. Moreover, a special pursuit team was dispatched to hunt down the fleeing Shuangfenggu disciples.
The surviving Shuangfenggu disciples fled in all directions, and Taiyi Sect took the opportunity to absorb many of them.
Although Lin Quanguan had a Jindan master named Guangzhi, he did not gain any benefit at all. Instead, he shrank.
As long as the matter between Guangzhi Zhenren and Feihong Sect is not resolved, Lin Quanguan will have to put his tail between his legs and behave. 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 Shuangfenggu, 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 self-destructed. Of course, new forces are 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 cultivators from Shuangfeng Valley, and the fish that slipped through the net from other destroyed forces. Meng Zhang gathered up many of the remaining defeated soldiers, 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 more territory there is and the richer it is, the more cultivation resources it can provide. The larger the territory and the larger the population, the more disciples can be provided.
The combined forces of the Qiaoshou Sect and the Golden Knife Sect first swept through all the Qi Refining Sects. When they were done, they found that the Taiyi Sect, which had been put aside, was not idle either. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we 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 remaining 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 powers, it is not that no one has ever thought of joining the Liu family or Qingzhu Mountain. But it is difficult for these people to gain 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 mention it. He seems kind, but is actually mean and vicious. In the past few years, he wiped out the vassal Yang family simply because of a treasure, and his reputation was quite bad.
Now it seems that although Shuangfenggu behaves a bit domineeringly, it is not particularly harsh, and it is probably acceptable in terms of face.
After having tasted the feeling of being the master of one's own country, 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. It is better to be a slave and suffer a little than to lose your life in vain. After all, there are only a few cultivators in the world of cultivation who would rather die than surrender, and the mainstream is the outstanding ones who understand current affairs.
A few days later, Meng Zhang, the leader of the Taiyi Sect, Ruan Dadao, the old foundation-building leader of the Jindao Sect, and Aunt Jin, the elder of the Qiaoshou Sect, came to the Linshan Sect at the same time.
Two foundation-building elders from 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 in secret and quickly made a decision.
According to intelligence analysis, the four families joining forces are not much weaker than the Liu family and Qingzhushan. No one is willing to surrender like this. Let's do it first before talking about it.
Next, the four sects began to mobilize their disciples and prepare their troops for war.
Of course, the movements of the four sects could not 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.
The area remained largely peaceful for many years, with one battle after another breaking out as Twin Plenty fell.
Soon, the battle to determine the fate of this area will begin.
