When Wen Dongzhenjun conveyed the order before, he did not force Meng Zhang too much, and also said that if the Taiyi Sect was not strong enough, he could ask Governor Zhang Weineng for help.
Now it seems that his attitude is very confusing.
It was through this understatement that Meng Zhang made a misjudgment and exposed his true thoughts.
If there is no spiritual warning, there is no way to use the magic of heaven to deduce the specific situation.
Meng Zhang still acted according to his own ideas and accompanied the Shangguan family in acting, which might really be caught by Zhang Weineng.
Since Zhang Wei was able to make the determination to clean up the internal affairs first, he must have ignored his deeds and his heart, and would not reason with Meng Zhang. He would only judge whether he was loyal by what he did.
As for what Zhenjun Wen Dong said about asking Zhang Weineng for help, it was even more polite nonsense.
It is not yet said whether Zhang Weineng will send help if he asks for help. Just because Meng Zhang was on guard against Zhang Weineng, he would not let him interfere in his own actions.
Now that Meng Zhang knows Zhang Weineng's plan, he will of course put aside other worries and wipe out the Shangguan family as soon as possible.
Meng Zhang was still aware of the apparent power of the Shangguan family.
There are two True Lords of Yuanshen, Shangguan Hui and Shangguan Tu.
Moreover, both of their cultivation levels have reached the middle stage of Yuan Shen.
As the veteran Yuanshen True Monarchs, they have advanced cultivation and strong strength, and they must have many trump cards.
Even in a one-on-one battle, Meng Zhang could defeat them, but he was not sure of killing any of them.
Before the establishment of the Jiuqu Alliance, the Shangguan family was a cultivation family entrenched in this land.
The family's power is huge and its background is unfathomable.
After the Jiuqu League was established, the top management of the Jiuqu League used very good conditions to attract them to join the Jiuqu League.
The Shangguan family has a special status in the Jiuqu League. It is in a semi-independent position and enjoys many privileges.
Of course, it is precisely because of the semi-independent status of the Shangguan family that they cannot fully integrate into the Jiuqu League. Later, when he betrayed the Jiuqu Alliance, he didn't feel any burden at all.
In addition to the two True Lords of Yuanshen, the Shangguan family has an extremely large number of low-level monks and is very powerful.
Coupled with a large number of vassal cultivation forces, the Shangguan family can also easily raise an army of powerful monks.
The Shangguan family's mountain gate is located in a place called Pingding Lake.
There are excellent third-level spiritual veins there, which have been painstakingly managed by the Shangguan family for many years, and there are also protective facilities such as mountain-protecting formations.
If the Taiyi Clan launches an attack on the Shangguan family, once the Shangguan family cannot resist it, they will retreat to the mountain gate and rely on the family's years of accumulation to actively resist.
Even if Taiyi Sect concentrates the strength of the entire sect, I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer there in a short time.
Once the time is delayed for a long time, other changes may occur.
Meng Zhang suddenly had a new understanding in his heart.
The order Zhang Weineng issued this time not only allowed Meng Zhang to prove his loyalty, but also had the intention of consuming Taiyi Sect's strength.
In Zhang Weineng's eyes, the Taiyi Sect was too strong and not reliable enough, so of course it had to be weakened and restricted.
In the current Jiuqu Province, except for the official forces of the Dali Dynasty, no cultivation force has as many Yuanshen True Lords as the Taiyi Sect.
In addition, Meng Zhang also formed a small alliance, and the power in his hands became even stronger.
Although Meng Zhang joined the Five Penal Guards early, he had Han Yao as his backer in the court.
However, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and the matter involves the overall situation of Jiuqu Province. His identity and backing cannot help at all.
Ever since Ziyang Shengzong took direct action against the Dali Dynasty, the situation in Jiuqu Province had reached a very critical juncture.
With Zhang Weineng's character, he will do whatever it takes to maintain the situation in Jiuqu Province, and he will never have any other scruples.
Of course Meng Zhang doesn't want the strength of the Taiyi Sect to be compromised, but it will be very difficult to deal with the Shangguan family as soon as possible.
Taiyi Sect's current strength is relatively scattered, and the True Lords of Yuanshen basically have their own tasks.
Maple Leaf Mountain City and Yuantu Prairie are two places that are inseparable from people.
Meng Zhang didn't want to give up his business results in these two places just because he launched an attack on the Shangguan family.
Meng Zhang thought for a long time and felt that it was really difficult to complete the tasks assigned by Zhang Wei with the power of Taiyi Sect alone.
Meng Zhang sent a letter to Huang Lianjiao and asked Xu Mengying to come over.
Since the war on the Yuantu Prairie ended, Xu Mengying led the army of Huanglian cultivators back to the gate of Huanglian Holy Mountain.
Xu Daoran continued to go to Tiangong to take charge, while Xu Mengying still took charge of the mountain gate.
After receiving Meng Zhang's summons, Xu Mengying put down her affairs at home and hurried to Baicao Slope, Taiyi Gate Mountain Gate.
Not seen for many days, Xu Mengying's cultivation improved again, which made Meng Zhang feel that her momentum had greatly increased.
Xu Mengying's qualifications are not much worse than Meng Zhang's. She comes from an extraordinary background and enjoys many more resources than Meng Zhang.
Not long after Meng Zhang entered the Yuanshen stage, she also became a Yuanshen.
After that, although she was delayed a lot of time due to various affairs of the Huanglian Sect.
But after Xu Daoran achieved Yuan Shen, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Her current cultivation level is also in the middle stage of Yuanshen, which is only slightly inferior to Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying have been friends for many years and have had a life-or-death friendship.
Taiyi Sect and Huanglian Sect have been allies for many years and share many common interests.
Among the several forces in that small alliance, the only truly reliable friend of the Taiyi Sect was the Huanglian Sect.
Meng Zhang has great trust in Xu Mengying, and the friendship between the two parties has been tested for many years.
After meeting Xu Mengying, he just exchanged a few words and then got straight to the point.
Except for his role as a Tianji Master, Meng Zhang had no reservations about anything else.
He told the mission assigned by Governor Zhang Weineng and the hidden intention behind it.
Meng Zhang relied on the intelligence capabilities of the Taiyi Sect to figure out some of the truth behind the secrets.
After listening to Meng Zhang's story, Xu Mengying's face was full of solemnity.
The situation of Huanglian Sect and Taiyi Sect is very similar. They both later defected to the Dali Dynasty. They are not direct descendants of the Dali Dynasty, and they cannot gain the true trust of the Dali Dynasty.
When Jiuqu Province went through great changes, Xu Mengying also had other ideas.
It's just that she was cautious by nature, and Meng Zhang reminded her, so she and Meng Zhang advanced and retreated together, so she didn't show any disobedience.
However, the Huanglian Sect is so big and there are so many disciples in the sect. It is difficult for Xu Mengying to know whether other disciples have done anything misleading.
Due to historical reasons, the factions within the Huanglian Sect are complicated and there are many semi-independent sub-sects. Xu Mengying cannot guarantee that everyone will obey her honestly.
In Zhang Weineng's mind, Huanglian Sect and Taiyi Sect are the same thing.
It's just that the Taiyi Sect was stronger and became the leader, and was tested by Zhang Weineng first.
