Thanks to the large-scale construction of long-distance transmission arrays by the Dali Dynasty, transportation between the Dali Dynasty's mainland and Jiuqu Province has become extremely convenient.
Meng Zhang took Sun Shengdu and Sun Pengzhi with him and teleported them to Jiuqu City through the long-distance teleportation array without spending much time.
After arriving at Jiuqu City, Meng Zhang was not in a hurry to return to Taiyimen, but went to visit Governor Zhang Weineng first.
This was a requirement of etiquette, and Meng Zhang also wanted to take this opportunity to inform him of some information to avoid possible troubles in the future.
Meng Zhang had only been away for a few months, but when he returned, his identity was completely different.
Although Jiuqu Province is isolated outside, it has always maintained close contact with the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.
Zhang Weineng had known for a long time that Meng Zhang joined the Five Penal Guards, killed Ouyang Huajin in a public competition, received the protection of Dali Temple Minister Han Yao, and was later received by Emperor Bawu.
Zhang Weineng became more concerned about Meng Zhang.
Now Meng Zhang is no longer just a sect leader under Jiuqu Province, but has an official status in the Dali Dynasty and has a backer in the court.
When Meng Zhang went to the Governor's Mansion this time, he found that the people here treated him very differently, and they obviously respected him more.
He didn't wait too long and met Governor Zhang Weineng very easily.
After Zhang Wei met Meng Zhang, his attitude was very kind. He never mentioned anything about the past.
The Five Punishment Guards are a major force in hunting down demon cultivators in the Dali Dynasty. No matter how stupid Zhang Weineng is, he will not hand over the handle to Meng Zhang.
If Meng Zhang discovered the fact that he was trying to spread demonic items and reported it to Han Yao, Zhang Weineng would definitely be in a lot of trouble.
Even though this was an official act of the Dali Dynasty, there was an instruction from the middle and high-level officials behind it. But once this kind of thing is exposed, the senior officials of the Dali Dynasty will immediately distance themselves from each other, and maybe even push Zhang Weineng out as a scapegoat.
Zhang Weineng was also very worried about Han Yao, the minister of Dali Temple.
Although Han Yao is much younger than Zhang Weineng, he is far above him in terms of cultivation and status in the court.
Especially since Han Yao was in the center, he could naturally look down on local officials like Zhang Weineng.
Now that Zhang Wei can no longer ask Meng Zhang to spread demonized items, Meng Zhang can communicate with him happily.
Compared to Han Yao, the sword prince Ouyang Jian was better than Han Yao in every aspect.
Since Meng Zhen had enmity with Ouyang Jian, Zhang Weineng did not want to have too much involvement with him, lest he accidentally get involved in the grudge between them.
Originally, Zhang Weineng was optimistic about Meng Zhang and felt that Taiyi Sect had great utilization value. He also intended to befriend Meng Zhang and even cultivate Meng Zhang.
Now, Zhang Weineng stays away from Meng Zhang.
Zhang Weineng was very polite and full of praise to Meng Zhang on the surface, but on the inside he was very distant.
Meng Zhang didn't take it seriously. The county magistrate was not as good as taking charge now. No matter what, he should not take the initiative to make enemies with Zhang Weineng.
Meng Zhang and Zhang Weineng said a few polite words before telling them their missions.
He was ordered by Han Yao, the Minister of Dali Temple, to investigate the demonic cultivators hidden in Jiuqu Province as a Wu Xing Wei, hoping to get the cooperation of the Governor's Office.
Even if he didn't want to offend Han Yao, Zhang Weineng instinctively didn't like it when the other party extended his hand to his own territory.
Zhang Weineng and Meng Zhang had a quarrel, saying that Jiuqu Province was always in order and there were basically no magic cultivators hiding here.
If there is really a demon cultivator, the Governor's Mansion is capable of killing it, so it won't take Meng Zhang's help.
Meng Zhang's original intention was not to compete with Zhang Weineng for power and control over the demon cultivators.
He just stated his mission and identity and informed Zhang Weineng in advance.
Meng Zhang had nothing to argue with Zhang Wei. After chatting for a while, he took the initiative to say goodbye and left.
Seeing that Meng Zhang was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Zhang Weineng was very satisfied.
It's a pity that he and Ouyang Jian have taken on a blood feud, and they don't know when the other will take revenge.
Little did Zhang Weineng know that Ouyang Jian and Meng Zhang had a tacit understanding in the underworld, and to a certain extent they became people in the same boat.
Ouyang Jian also had to deal with the trouble from Emperor Bawu, and he really had no time to take care of other things.
At least for a long time, Meng Zhang didn't have to worry about retaliation from Ouyang Jian.
After meeting Governor Zhang Weineng, Meng Zhang took Sun Shengdu and the others and teleported directly back to Xiongshi Ridge through the long-distance teleportation array in Jiuqu City.
Without hiding their whereabouts, they arrived at the territory of Taiyimen. The news that Meng Zhang had returned from the Dali Dynasty immediately spread throughout the territory.
Although it had been less than a year since he left Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang felt as if he had been away for a long time because he had experienced a lot of things.
His deep feelings for the sect made him full of concern for the sect.
Meng Zhang took Sun Shengdu and the others and flew all the way back to the grassy slope of Taiyi Gate Mountain Gate.
When the leader returns, the top management of the sect will naturally come to greet him.
After a lot of red tape, the welcome to Meng Zhang ended.
Meng Zhang introduced Sun Shengdu and the others to the upper echelons of the sect.
The Sun family members had already moved to the Taiyimen territory before and were properly settled.
Sun Shengdu was the True Lord of Yuanshen and took the initiative to seek refuge. Meng Zhang would certainly not treat him badly.
Sun Shengdu, like Zhenjun He Luo, is a guest of Taiyi Sect and enjoys similar treatment.
Sun Pengzhi is currently treated like an ordinary elder in the sect. He had to wait until he showed stronger abilities and gained Meng Zhang's approval before he could become the mastermind of the Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang had not left Taiyimen for a long time. On weekdays, he would stay in seclusion for more than this amount of time.
During this period of time, nothing major happened in the door, and everything in the door was operating normally.
According to Meng Zhang's arrangement, Niu Dawei and Yang Xueyi took turns sitting in the Tiangong.
Now Niu Dawei is in charge of the Tiangong, and Yang Xueyi is in charge of the gate.
As a rare fourth-level talisman maker in Jiuqu Province, Yang Xueyi rarely had time to spare and spent a lot of time making fourth-level talismans.
Over the years, Taiyi Sect has accumulated a lot of precious materials.
For example, the leaves of the fourth-order sacred tree that Meng Zhang asked for from True Lord Changchun last time are excellent materials for making fourth-order talismans.
Although Meng Zhang has not received accurate news, he has vaguely guessed that the Dali Dynasty may be expanding outwards again.
From the intelligence analysis he knew, the Daheng cultivation world was probably the next target of the Dali Dynasty to conquer.
Among the territories of the Dali Dynasty, Jiuqu Province is the closest to Daheng Cultivation World.
Once a war breaks out between the Dali Dynasty and the Daheng cultivation world, Jiuqu Province will most likely be involved.
From now on, Taiyi Sect will prepare for war in a low-key manner.
Yang Xueyi was sitting in the gate, and she happened to be leading the Futang in the gate, making all kinds of talismans to prepare for use in war.
