When Ruan Dadao walked away, Gu Tanghai was still standing at the door of the hall, watching him leave.
Meng Zhang walked over in a few steps and greeted him warmly: "Brother Gu, what a coincidence that I meet you here."
When Gu Tanghai saw Meng Zhang, his face was full of smiles, "Master Meng, you are actually free to come to Fangshi today. I must treat you well."
"There's no need to entertain. That old guy Ruan Dadao just left here. I wonder what his plans are?" Meng Zhang asked directly.
Gu Tanghai did not answer Meng Zhang's question directly.
"Brother Meng, don't worry too much. What Brother Ruan is planning will be of great benefit to you and me."
"You don't have to worry. In half a month, Taoist Master Guanghong will convene everyone to discuss this matter. By then, you will know what is going on."
After listening to Gu Tanghai's words, Meng Zhang couldn't continue to ask questions. I just secretly warned myself not to be excluded from everyone.
Meng Zhang chatted with Gu Tanghai for a few more words before returning to Taiyi Gate.
Ever since Lin Quanguan began to expand, Meng Zhang felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart. Not only did he strengthen his cultivation, he also did not relax in supervising his disciples.
Several disciples in Taiyi Sect who were favored by Meng Zhang did not disappoint Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang's founding disciple Niu Dawei has only been on the path of cultivation for a little more than a year, and he has already reached the second level of Qi refining.
Not only have Yang Xueyi and Wen Qiansuan made great progress in their cultivation, they have also made in-depth research on the various cultivation arts that they are good at.
In addition, there are also a few more disciples in the late stages of Qi refining in the sect, who can barely be used.
Nowadays, the stalls in Taiyimen are very large, which is the time to hire people.
If disciples in the sect want to earn more contributions to the sect, they need to complete various sect tasks. No one can be an exception.
In the short term, it seems that it has delayed the cultivation time of these disciples. But in fact, the process of completing the sect's mission is itself a kind of training for the disciples in the sect.
Since Gu Tanghai has said it for half a month, he can know the specific situation. Meng Zhang was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Half a month later, Gu Tanghai sent a message, saying that he asked Meng Zhang to go to Mingshafang City to discuss important matters.
When Meng Zhang arrived at Mingshafang City, he saw a group of familiar faces. The principals of several surrounding sects have already arrived.
Taoist Priest Guanghong also arrived at Mingshafang City earlier. Different from the last gathering, Taoist Master Guanghong was high-spirited and had a somewhat dignified demeanor.
Now Lin Quanguan is the real owner of Mingshafang City. Taoist Priest Guanghong and Gu Tanghai said a few polite words, then acted as their masters and presided over the discussion.
After everyone entered the meeting hall and sat down, Ruan Dadao stood up mysteriously and said, "Everyone, there is another guest attending our meeting today."
After explaining to everyone, he shouted to the back, "Brother Zhao, everyone is here and waiting for your appearance."
A figure beyond Meng Zhang's expectation walked out from behind the meeting hall.
Seeing this person, Meng Zhang, who had always been calm, almost couldn't help shouting.
Zhao Jiudou, didn't he say that all the monks from the Zhao family had died at the hands of the ghost monks? Why is he still alive and here?
Wait, isn't Zhao Jiudou a monk in the Qi Refining Stage? When did he succeed in building the foundation and become a monk in the Foundation Building Stage?
Sensing Zhao Jiudou's state, Meng Zhang couldn't help but change his expression.
Meng Zhang finally calmed down and glanced at the field.
Everyone was not surprised at all. They had obviously known about Zhao Jiudou's existence for a long time. Apparently, he was the only one who was kept in the dark.
Meng Zhang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he felt rejected by everyone.
"Everyone here should know Brother Zhao, so I don't need any introduction."
"What I want to tell you is that Brother Zhao worshiped under Senior Zhao Liefeng, the elder of the Feihong Sect's battle hall, and is already a disciple of the Feihong Sect."
Ruan Dadao said with a happy face.
Judging from his proud look, it seemed that he was the one who became a disciple of Feihong Sect.
Zhao Jiudou walked up to the crowd and bowed.
"Long time no see, everyone. You may still remember Zhao."
"Back then, the evil thieves from Shuangfeng Valley colluded with the ghost monks. They not only wiped out the entire Zhao family, but also hunted down and assassinated my Zhao family members in the territory of Feihong Sect. Unfortunately, the family leader and all the elders died at the hands of the ghost monks. Fortunately, Zhao was saved by his master and escaped."
Seeing Zhao Jiudou chatting there with a proud look, Meng Zhang felt more and more uncomfortable.
Although the Zhao family was wiped out by Shuangfenggu, he also played a big role in spreading rumors.
Most importantly, the Zhao family's ancestral land, Fuzhao Valley, is now the mountain gate of Taiyi Gate.
Although this was a trophy taken from Shuangfenggu, Zhao Jiudou had a grudge against him before, and now that he had climbed a high tree, he probably wouldn't let this go easily.
As for voluntarily handing over Fuzhao Valley, that is simply impossible. If Zhao Jiudou really wanted to embarrass himself, then he would have to fight.
Fortunately, Taiyi Sect is currently regarded as a vassal of Lin Quanguan, and Feihong Sect disciples should not openly borrow the power of Feihong Sect to oppress themselves.
Meng Zhang clearly remembered that the news he received that year was that the ghost monks took advantage of the internal strife of the Zhao family and killed all the remaining monks of the Zhao family in one fell swoop.
But I didn't expect that the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yanbei, would die, and so many elders of the Zhao family would also die, except for Zhao Jiudou. Not only did he not die, he was also accepted as a disciple by Zhao Liefeng, the elder of the Feihong Sect's war hall. This is obviously the standard protagonist template.
The ghost monk was also useless. He actually let a mere Zhao Jiudou escape, leaving himself in big trouble.
Zhao Jiudou didn't know Meng Zhang's change of mind, so he kept talking about it.
Meng Zhang listened for a while, and found out that Zhao Jiudou's words were nothing more than an angry scolding of how Shuangfenggu had committed such a heinous crime back then, and how he was so blessed that he survived the catastrophe and instead joined the Feihong Sect.
Zhao Jiudou rambled for a long time before finally getting to the point. It turned out that he wanted to call on several forces present to join forces to hunt down the remnants of Shuangfeng Valley.
The news that there are remnants of Shuangfeng Valley fleeing is not a secret. The back-up plans secretly arranged by Shuangfenggu cannot be hidden from the eyes of Feihong Sect.
Now Zhao Jiudou is calling on everyone to work together to completely eliminate Shuangfeng Valley. It may not only be his family feud, but also the Taiyi Sect.
Before Zhao Jiudou finished speaking, he received unanimous support from everyone. Even Meng Zhang didn't expect that Shuangfenggu would be so hated by others. Once he was in trouble, he would be pushed down by everyone.
