The saintess of the Huanglian Sect showed great sincerity, and Meng Zhang had a certain degree of caution in his heart, but this did not affect the cooperation between the two.
The two talked secretly for a long time and reached some agreements. They agreed on how to cooperate in the future and how to jointly fight against True Lord Yue Feng.
On some key issues, both of them made oaths to prevent each other from betraying.
Although there are definitely ways to avoid the inner demon oath in the world of cultivation, there is a certain price to pay.
After the two made the inner demon oath, at least the other party could not easily break the promise.
After the conversation, Meng Zhang took the initiative to say goodbye without staying here any longer.
When he walked to the door, Gu Yue Huaidie was standing quietly by the door of the courtyard. Meng Zhang and her nodded to each other, and then left the courtyard.
In the next few days, nothing else important happened.
On March 15th, Qingyuan Sect held a grand ceremony for True Lord Jin Li in the center of Jiuqu City, where the Elders of Jiuqu League resided.
This ceremony was very lively and there were many guests. Most of the prominent figures in the Jiuqu League were present.
Even if the monks from all walks of life don't give face to True Lord Jin Li, they can't help but praise the Qingyuan Sect.
There were more than ten people participating in the ceremony.
True Lords of Yuanshen, such as True Lord Yue Feng and True Lord Xuanfeng, who had grievances with True Lord Jin Li, also attended the ceremony generously.
There are countless other Jindan Zhenren and the leaders of the sect.
The daily affairs of the Qingyuan Sect are in charge of the headmaster Yuanyi Zhenren. This ceremony was handled by him from beginning to end.
Three supreme elders came from Qingyuan Sect, True Lord Qinglan, True Lord Qingfeng, and True Lord Qinglang. It can be said that they gave True Lord Jinli enough face.
Meng Zhang and everyone from the Taiyi Sect stood together with the Da Feng City monks and attended the ceremony together.
Not long after the ceremony began, a sharp-eyed monk discovered a big problem.
Another giant of the Jiuqu League, the Jade Sword Sect did not send anyone to attend the ceremony.
Not to mention figures like the leader, True Lord Jade Sword, not even the low-level disciples of the sect showed up.
Some clever monks have begun to feel that something is wrong.
Although the two giants, Jade Sword Sect and Qingyuan Sect, occasionally have disagreements, they both know the bottom line and have always fought without breaking through.
The top leaders of the two major sects all know that taking the overall situation into consideration, at least in terms of face, they still have to maintain the unity of the Jiuqu Alliance.
Although during this period, Yujianmen and Qingyuan Sect had serious differences on the issue of whether to go to war with the Dali Dynasty. However, the Jade Sword Sect caused such an incident, but it did not save any face for the Qingyuan Sect, except that it did not openly betray them.
As the ceremony progressed, more and more monks noticed this problem.
Many monks who were concerned about the overall situation of the Jiuqu Alliance were worried and began to feel uneasy.
And some ambitious and ambitious people feel even more strange.
True Lord Yue Feng had long noticed that the monks from the Jade Sword Sect had not appeared. When he saw the slightly gloomy look on his old rival, True Lord Jin Li, he smiled without hesitation.
The absence of the Jade Sword Sect monks not only made the Qingyuan Sect monks unhappy, but also Jin Li Zhenjun was a little dissatisfied.
Master Yuan Yi, the head of the Qing Yuan Sect, let out bursts of hearty laughter.
"Why are these sword cultivators acting like children and getting angry with me? What can I say about them?"
"The sword cultivator has this bad temper, and if something doesn't go his way, he'll show off his face."
Qinglan Zhenjun answered with a smile, with the expression of an adult who was made dumbfounded by his own child.
As soon as the two Qingyuan Sect monks interrupted, the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed. The monks who were whispering below all shut up knowingly.
The senior officials of Qingyuan Sect seemed not to be affected by this episode, and they continued to do whatever they were supposed to do, and held the ceremony as usual.
In such an occasion, Meng Zhang could not say anything, but secretly remembered in his heart to be more prepared for the uncertain relationship between the Jade Sword Sect and the Qingyuan Sect.
Meng Zhang first formed elixirs on the site of Jade Sword Sect, and later visited the golden elixir monks of Jade Sword Sect.
Although he deliberately made friends and tried hard to curry favor, he was unable to establish friendship with the Jade Sword Sect.
However, in his impression, the Jade Sword Sect monks he had come into contact with were not as aloof as he imagined, nor were they as domineering as was common among sword cultivators.
The Jade Sword Sect quietly did something like this today. I wonder what their intention was?
Not to mention the doubts in Meng Zhang's heart, after a lot of complicated procedures, the preparatory part of the ceremony was completed.
Taoist sects like Qingyuan Sect adhere to Taoist style in everything they do. To put it nicely, it is called not forgetting the true nature, but in fact it is too concerned with red tape and too focused on formality.
Next, Jin Li Zhenjun, the newly promoted Yuanshen Zhenjun, showed his magical powers to everyone and opened a forum to teach the Dharma.
True Lord Jin Li was not afraid of the situation, and he took action lightly, but showed the power of True Lord Yuanshen.
When he opened the forum to lecture on the Dharma, although he talked about some broad and profound things, he still talked about them in such a way that he was talking about golden lotuses and the sky was full of flowers, making him look like a man of Taoism.
After Jin Li Zhenjun's Dharma Assembly, the ceremony came to an end, and it was time for everyone to have free activities.
True Lord Qinglan took True Lord Jinli and introduced to her the other True Lords of Yuanshen in the Jiuqu Alliance.
Meng Zhang also accompanied the monks from Da Feng City to get acquainted with the monks from all walks of life in the Jiuqu League.
The ceremony took most of a day before it was over.
After that, until night, there were many monks calling friends and socializing everywhere.
In the few days after the ceremony, Jin Li Zhenjun and Meng Zhang were busy socializing.
Whether it is the newly promoted True Lord Yuanshen or the powerful Taiyi Sect, many people are interested.
The threshold for becoming True Lord Yuanshen is too high, and not everyone is qualified to get through. So Meng Zhang's place suddenly became crowded with many visitors.
After the ceremony, more than half a month passed before the monks from all walks of life left Jiuqu City. Meng Zhang was relieved.
During this period of time, he was very busy. All day long, there are endless social activities.
Although I have made friends with many monks, they are not close friends and they are just familiar to each other.
Even if there are many monks who have great friendship value, such a public occasion is not suitable for deep conversation.
After the ceremony, Jin Li Zhenjun officially became a member of the Jiuqu Alliance.
According to convention, all the True Lords of the Yuanshen in the alliance are given the title of Elder.
The newly joined Jin Li Zhenjun is no exception and has become a veteran of the Jiuqu Alliance.
There is a special Council of Elders in the Jiuqu League, which is the highest authority in the league. It has supreme authority and directs all major events in the league.
The leader of the Qingyuan Sect, Yuanyi Zhenren, is also the current leader of the Jiuqu Alliance. He, the leader of the alliance, was appointed by the Council of Elders.
