After the Feihong Sect withdrew its troops from Yaofeng Gobi, the Taiyi Sect has been paying attention to the Feihong Sect's movements.
Taiyi Sect, as a newly emerged Jindan Sect in the Endless Sand Sea, still has a lot of homework to make up. Intelligence capability is a very important one.
Compared to Feihong Sect, which has a deep foundation, Taiyi Sect is far behind in this aspect.
Of course, Feihong Sect is not without its weaknesses and flaws.
The Feihong Sect has ruled the endless sand sea for so many years and has accumulated a large number of potential enemies. Some monks who were dissatisfied with Feihong Sect gradually began to communicate secretly with Taiyi Sect.
After a lot of hard work, Taiyi Sect slowly figured out some of Feihong Sect’s movements.
Sure enough, as Meng Zhang guessed, when Feihong Sect withdrew its troops from Yaofeng Gobi last time, everything he reported to him was all lies.
What happened to the Fire Cloud Sect was just an excuse.
At the border between the Fire Cloud Sect and the Feihong Sect, small conflicts continued as before, but large-scale battles never broke out.
The three seriously injured Jindan Masters of the Huoyun Sect have not recovered yet. Chiyan Masters alone cannot do anything to Feishi Masters.
After Feiyu Zhenren and Feijiang Zhenren led the army back, they began to take a long rest.
The most troublesome male lion demon general on Yaofeng Gobi's side has been eliminated, and the Taiyi Sect acts as a barrier to block the threat from Yaofeng Gobi. The Fire Cloud Sect has not yet recovered its vitality and cannot pose much of a threat to the Feihong Sect.
Seizing the rare moment of peace, Feihong Sect began to recover quickly.
The Feihong Sect has a very deep foundation and has many hidden family backgrounds. After experiencing such huge consumption over the years, we can still use a lot of resources.
The lost disciples began to be slowly replenished, and new Qi Refining Stage and even Foundation Establishment Stage disciples began to slowly emerge.
As long as the Feihong Sect can develop steadily for hundreds of years, it is difficult to say about the Golden Core Stage monks, but the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage monks can basically complete the complement.
Feihong Sect cheated Taiyi Sect this time, not because they had any grudge against Taiyi Sect. What's more, as the ruler of the Endless Sand Sea, the Feihong Sect was instinctively wary of the Taiyi Sect and made a subconscious move.
Meng Zhang, who was trapped in Yaofeng Gobi, knew that he could not fall out with Feihong Sect now. With his temperament, he would not do nothing.
Two years after Qin Hongying settled in Xiongshi Ridge, the situation on the Yaofeng Gobi side was still relatively stable. Under Meng Zhang's instruction, Taiyi Sect made some big moves.
The Taiyi Sect took the lead and included the surrounding cultivation forces to establish a large alliance called the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
Sects including Qiaoshou Sect, the traditional ally of Taiyi Sect, and Tuxing Sect, which had long surrendered to Taiyi Sect, all joined the Hanhai Taoist Alliance very enthusiastically.
In Meng Zhang's view, directly annexing surrounding forces or turning these forces into vassals of Taiyi Sect are not good solutions.
In the form of establishing an alliance, unite all the surrounding cultivation forces. The methods should be softer and the appearance should be better-looking.
At least on the surface, all members of the alliance have equal status, and everyone is an ally.
And each sect and family can preserve its own inheritance.
In addition to these cultivation forces, Taiyi Sect will also include individual cultivators from all walks of life who meet the conditions into the alliance.
In the eyes of some so-called discerning people, Meng Zhang is just a rising star, and the Taiyi Sect will become the new overlord of the endless sand sea.
It's too late to burn the cold stove now, but you can still get some benefits by taking refuge in time.
Including several original vassal families of the Taiyi Sect, a total of nearly thirty cultivation forces have joined the Hanhai Dao Alliance, and casual cultivators from all walks of life have joined enthusiastically.
Among them, the remnants of the Dihuo Sect who had openly resisted the Feihong Sect and were almost destroyed, also joined the Hanhai Dao Alliance in the name of the rebuilt Dihuo Sect.
After Meng Zhang let the remnants of the Dihuo Sect go, they had always been honest and did not dare to have the slightest dissent.
They guarded a first-level spiritual vein and struggled to maintain the inheritance of their sect.
Meng Zhang has now publicly pushed out the Earth Fire Sect. In addition to disgusting the Feihong Sect, it is also sending a message to other cultivation forces. Even the Dihuo Sect, a sect that is extremely hated by the Feihong Sect, the Taiyi Sect has the ability to protect it and keep its legacy alive.
If the Dihuo Sect has always been loyal to the Taiyi Sect and served the alliance honestly, there may not be a day when it will be revived.
The establishment of the Hanhai Taoist Alliance was not a whim of Meng Zhang's, but he had already had such ideas and arrangements.
Unify all the surrounding cultivating forces, pool all resources, strengthen the alliance, always be open to the outside world, and compete with other sects including the Feihong Sect.
As the only Jindan sect among these cultivation forces, Taiyi Sect takes the dominant position without hesitation. Meng Zhang, the leader of the Taiyi Sect, as a real Jindan, is also the highly anticipated candidate for the alliance leader.
Meng Zhang needs to stay on the Yaofeng Gobi side for a long time and has no time to travel. So he sent his eldest disciple Niu Dawei to take charge of various specific affairs of establishing the Hanhai Taoist Alliance.
Niu Dawei himself is very capable. After these years of experience, he is fully capable of handling this matter properly on his own.
Meng Zhang's third disciple, An Moran, also went into seclusion to build the foundation shortly after his sister An Xiaoran established the foundation, and successfully broke through.
After consolidating his cultivation, he also came to Xiongshi Ridge and served under Meng Zhang.
Feeling that the Taiyi Sect's intelligence capabilities are insufficient, and with the establishment of the Hanhai Dao Alliance, the number of enemies inside and outside the Dao Alliance will gradually increase.
Meng Zhang had long planned to establish a special portal for spying on intelligence and secretly handling some dirty work that was inconvenient for the Taiyi Sect to come forward.
This hall was named Dark Hall by Meng Zhang. It was an extremely important hall within the Taiyi Sect and must be managed by Meng Zhang's trusted cronies.
An Moran has been a disciple of Meng Zhang for many years. He has a calm personality and is extremely calm. He is a young man who can be of great use.
Meng Zhang handed over the work of preparing the secret hall to An Moran.
In addition to providing full help himself, An Moran was allowed to use Taiyi Sect's resources. Meng Zhang also sent a special message to Master Luo Ye, asking his old friend Jueying to come to Yaofeng Gobi.
Jueying and Meng Zhang are truly old friends and have the experience of fighting side by side.
Even after Meng Zhang became Master Jindan, he never forgot this friendship, let alone looked down on the other person.
After Jueying received the news, she quickly came to Yaofeng Gobi to meet Meng Zhang.
Not seen for many years, Jueying's cultivation has entered the late stage of foundation building. I guess it won't be long before she reaches the golden elixir stage.
After the two reminisced about old times, Meng Zhang entrusted her with an important task.
Meng Zhang hopes Jueying can help An Moran set up a secret hall and give An Moran various pointers.
Jueying was born in the Dark Alliance and was a very good assassin and spy. What she has learned is very suitable for this job.
