Meng Zhang had heard of the name of the Golden Crow Lamp since he was a child.
When the Taiyi Sect was still a vassal of the Feihong Sect, Taiyi Sect's foundation-building masters held this second-level high-grade magical weapon. They fought for a while and achieved impressive results, creating a great reputation for this magical weapon. .
Later, the mountain gate of Taiyi Sect was breached by a sand monster. All the elites in the sect were lost, the disciples suffered heavy losses, and the sect was on the verge of extinction.
The three foundation-building monks who broke out did not dare to stay where they were and decided to flee to a more desolate and remote place.
They escorted the remaining disciples of Taiyi Sect all the way and fled towards the remote north, until they fled into the area ruled by Shuangfeng Valley.
The last three foundation-building monks of Taiyi Sect have been seriously injured and are about to expire. They cannot hold on for much longer.
At that time, the Taiyi Sect also had no successors, and it was a time when there was no successor.
Without the foundation-building monks, it would be impossible to preserve this prestigious magical weapon, and it might even lead to the destruction of the family.
Therefore, the monks in the foundation-building period of Taiyi Sect at that time dedicated this magical weapon to Shuangfeng Valley, in exchange for which Taiyi Sect became a vassal of Shuangfeng Valley and obtained the protection of Shuangfeng Valley.
Since then, Taiyi Sect has existed as a vassal of Shuangfenggu for hundreds of years. It was not until Meng Zhang took over as the leader that Shuangfeng Valley was destroyed and Taiyi Sect gained an independent status.
When Meng Zhang was growing up, some of the older people in his family mentioned the famous golden crow lamp many times. They all regretted losing this magic weapon.
Meng Zhang didn't care about whether the seniors in the sect made the right or wrong decision, and who took advantage of the other between Taiyi Sect and Shuangfenggu. Meng Zhang didn't care about these past events.
Now that he saw the magic weapon that Taiyi Sect had lost, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
It is really lucky to take back this prestigious magic weapon when we are short of it.
Seeing Meng Zhang's excited expression, Gu Tanghai didn't want to whet his appetite and directly told the whole story.
"Elder Shanhu, I hope that all the leaders will join forces again to invade the original territory of Shuangfeng Valley and recapture the Zaoxiang Oasis."
"As for this magical weapon left by the ancestors of Taiyi Sect, it is a gift to Master Meng."
After listening to Gu Tanghai's words, Meng Zhang immediately calmed down and looked at him meaningfully.
The last time he conquered Mingshafang City, Gu Tanghai took out the central array plate belonging to Shuangfenggu's protective array. Now, he's working as a lobbyist for the remnants of Twin Plenty Valley. It seems that Gu Tanghai has a close relationship with the remnants of Shuangfenggu.
In addition, Gu Tanghai also has connections with the Linshan Sect.
Behind Linshan Sect stood Lin Quanguan. Especially after the demise of Shuangfeng Valley, the Linshan Sect almost openly became a subordinate of Lin Quanguan.
For the remnants of Shuangfeng Valley, what they hate the most is the Feihong Sect, their enemy. The second most hated thing is definitely Lin Quanguan, where the fisherman gets a lot of money.
Shuangfenggu had been planning for many years, but his plan failed and he was exterminated by the Feihong Sect. However, Lin Quanguan took advantage of Shuangfenggu to attract Feihong Sect's attention and took a huge advantage. It was almost like stepping on Shuangfenggu's corpse to rise to the top.
Gu Tanghai was able to have both sides, buying both sides between Shuangfenggu Yiyi and Lin Quanguan. He was really a powerful person.
Meng Zhang, who had always been very wary of Gu Tanghai, did not agree immediately, but started to drag his feet.
"It has only been three years since the war ended. It would be too hasty to start fighting again. This matter is of great importance. Let me go back and think about it."
"As for the gift or not, it's even more ridiculous. I really deserve such a generous gift."
Gu Tanghai saw through Meng Zhang's thoughts and persuaded him, "I'll tell Meng Zhang the truth. They have all agreed to go to war. Now we just have to wait for the reply from Master Meng."
"I've always been a straight-talking person. I can't hide my words, so I just speak out if I have anything to say."
"The reason why Brother Shanhu doesn't come forward himself is because he can't win over this old face and doesn't know how to face the former vassal sect. That's why I let me be the middleman."
"The Golden Knife Sect and the Qiaoshou Sect each accepted a small foundation-building pill. Head Meng can accept this magic weapon with confidence."
"As for the Linshan Sect, they were ordered by Lin Quanguan and wanted to take the opportunity to test the Feihong Sect's attitude and bottom line."
"Master Meng, please rest assured that there is absolutely no danger in this battle. It is just a formality. The Feihong Sect will definitely not interfere easily."
Meng Zhang originally had some doubts in his heart, but after hearing that other companies had agreed to the conditions of a single tiger, he was inclined to agree.
Especially since the Linshan Sect has Lin Quanguan as their backer, their ability to judge the situation is definitely better than their own.
If the Feihong Sect really wanted to intervene, they should have taken action three years ago when the Liu family and the Qingzhushan coalition were defeated.
In the past three years, Feihong Sect has not made any major moves, except for a complete blockade. It seems that Feihong Sect is really afraid of Master Guangzhi and is unwilling to move out easily.
The original territory of Shuangfeng Valley was richer than all the vassal territories combined. Not only the Golden Blade Sect and Qiaoshou Sect coveted such a big fat piece of meat, but even Meng Zhang was jealous.
Now that he had put aside his concerns about Feihong Sect, Meng Zhang agreed.
Gu Tanghai and Meng Zhang agreed on a date to send troops, and Meng Zhang left with the Golden Crow Lantern.
After returning to Taiyi Gate, Meng Zhang called for General Houtu, who had recovered his strength in the foundation building stage. They studied together for a long time and finally determined that there was nothing wrong with this magic weapon.
Meng Zhang was in a good mood after taking back the magical weapon lost by his sect predecessors. Being short of magic weapons, he began to slowly refine the Golden Crow Lamp.
A few days after Meng Zhang returned to Taiyimen, two old friends came to visit him.
Lin Bolin from Lin Quan Guan sneaked out of Lin Quan Guan at some point and secretly came to Taiyi Sect together with Xu Chengxian, the head of Linshan Sect.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Meng Zhang was already a high-ranking monk in the foundation building stage, while Lin Bolin and Xu Chengxian were still Qi Refining monks.
Even though Xu Chengxian was the leader of a faction, he was a little reserved when he saw Meng Zhang. Not only does he not look like a senior, but he is somewhat deliberately trying to please.
Lin Bolin, on the other hand, still had an attitude of neither humbleness nor arrogance, and treated Meng Zhang as before.
In comparison, Meng Zhang liked Lin Bolin's attitude more.
Moreover, Meng Zhang observed carefully and found that Xu Chengxian was old and had lost his vigor early. There was no hope of building a foundation in this life.
Lin Bolin, on the other hand, has a strong foundation and solid cultivation, and his Qi has been polished to perfection. It is estimated that it won't be long before he can try to hit the foundation building stage.
After some pleasantries, Xu Cheng first stated the purpose of their trip. They want to buy the Bai Zang soil mined by Taiyi Sect, preferably with Bai Zang soil crystals.
Ever since Lin Quanguan Guangzhi used the rain from the sky to form elixirs, it didn't take long for the news about the use of Bai Zang's earth minerals to spread throughout the endless sand sea. The secrets that the Feihong Sect had painstakingly kept for many years had become almost universally known.
