Since Jiuqu Province became the territory of the Dali Dynasty, the officials of the Dali Dynasty began to slowly establish a strict monitoring system.
The Governor-General ruled the entire province and had full authority over this matter.
On weekdays, there are often official patrol teams belonging to the Dali Dynasty, traveling around the province and conducting strict inspections.
The garrison troops stationed in various places are even more responsible for defending the territory and must shoulder the important responsibility of maintaining stability in various places.
However, in order to launch an expedition against Daheng Realm last time, Governor Zhang Weineng mobilized most of the forces of Jiuqu Province.
Garrison troops and patrol envoys from various places joined the conquest army.
The conquest army first lost more than half of its troops in Daheng Cultivation World.
The remaining half, led by Zhang Weineng, fought against the invaders from outside the territory and suffered heavy losses.
By now, Governor Zhang Wei was able to gather the remaining troops and station them not far from the destroyed Jiuqu City.
The local defense force in Jiuqu Province has been severely weakened, making it difficult to control various places in a limited manner.
Of course, the main thing that was weakened was the official power of the Dali Dynasty.
There are many cultivators in various places who have not been recruited.
These cultivation forces responded quickly and filled the gap left by the lack of official power in the Dali Dynasty.
Taiyi Sect's three wind-hunting ships flew through the sky without encountering any obstacles.
The official power of the Dali Dynasty can only guarantee daily patrols in a few key areas.
The route chosen by these three wind-hunting ships avoided those bustling areas and chose inaccessible areas.
These areas were not the focus of the Dali Dynasty. Even if the local cultivation forces discovered traces of the wind-hunting ships, they would not take the initiative to ask for trouble.
These three wind-hunting ships were originally engraved with special symbols belonging to the Taiyi Sect.
The signs were temporarily obscured ahead of the operation.
Three mysterious Tier 3 warships were speeding past, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with.
The custom in the world of cultivation is that everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles.
As long as it's not for their own family, almost no one will mind their own business.
The three wind-hunting ships soon penetrated deep into the south of Jiuqu Province and quickly approached their target.
The location of those cultivation forces is just to the east of the south of Jiuqu Province.
Although the southern part of Jiuqu Province has always been rich in resources and far more prosperous than the northern part, it also has many barren lands.
The eastern region in the south of Jiuqu Province is a notoriously barren land.
Spiritual veins are scarce, resources are scarce, and many places are not suitable for mortals to survive...
As outsiders, it would be very difficult for those cultivating forces to gain a foothold. They couldn't even hope to get their hands on the real sacred land.
They originally had a certain strength, but after staying in this barren land for a long time, they had no other income and could only slowly consume the savings left by their ancestors.
The other wealthy places in the south of Jiuqu Province are all owned by their owners.
A bunch of cultivation forces that don't even have the True Lord of Yuanshen have no ability to seize food from the tiger's mouth.
When the Dali Dynasty began to rule this place, the situation stabilized, and the classes began to solidify. This group of cultivation forces had no way to rise.
Their situation is becoming more and more difficult day by day, and there is no other way out except to seek refuge with big merchants such as Datong Merchant Alliance.
The reputation of Taiyi Sect spread far and wide, and even the powerful cultivation forces in the south of Jiuqu Province were unwilling to provoke it.
If they were not forced into a desperate situation, these cultivation forces would not dare to become enemies of the Taiyi Sect if they were really forced to do so.
Datong Merchant Alliance and other large merchants made a lot of promises and provided a lot of support, so they dared to risk their lives and wealth in a last-ditch effort.
In the world of cultivation, no one has ever cared about the so-called innocent, let alone those who died unjustly.
Many times, just a trivial matter can lead to the destruction of a family.
Maybe a low-level monk would be killed if he accidentally glanced at a high-level monk.
As for vendettas caused by conflicts of interest, there are countless.
Whether it was the Jiuqu League back then or the current Jiuqu Province, on the surface it looked orderly and peaceful.
But the various fighting and disputes behind the scenes have never stopped.
Especially in some remote places, some cultivation families or sects may even be mysteriously wiped out.
The murderers who wiped out the family were either wandering bandits or lawless cultivators. Even more, it will be pushed to the demon cultivator.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, this is the conclusion of the official investigation.
Those who were destroyed were all small sects and small families that were not popular. They could not make waves at all and had no impact on the overall situation of Jiuqu Province.
The current situation in Jiuqu Province seems to be stable, but there are turbulent undercurrents inside.
Taking advantage of the chaos of war, Taiyi Sect destroyed several indifferent cultivation forces, and Zhang Weineng did not easily embarrass Taiyi Sect.
After the three wind-hunting ships entered the eastern area, they encountered no cultivators on the road.
Looking down from high in the sky, the crowds below are becoming increasingly sparse.
When the three wind-hunting boats arrived near their destination, the target was unknown.
On the land not far ahead, there are endless hills.
Between the hills are large areas of wilderness.
There is only a little bit of green on the wasteland.
Huge ravines cut these wastelands into pieces.
The area in front is where the mountain gate established by this group of cultivators is located.
For Jiuqu Province, they are originally immigrants.
Only by uniting and staying together can we gain a foothold in Jiuqu Province.
Their mountain gates are not far from each other, and they often keep in touch with each other.
If a family is attacked, a beacon warning will be issued immediately.
The other families will promptly send reinforcements to rescue.
If it is a general invasion force, such defense methods can work.
No matter how remote this place is, it is still the land of Jiuqu Province and is still under the jurisdiction of the Dali Dynasty.
When the enemy invades and they send out a distress signal, the officials of the Dali Dynasty will not ignore it.
As long as they can hold off the enemy and hold on until the official power of the Dali Dynasty arrives, there will be hope.
Especially after joining large merchants such as Datong Business Alliance, they received a lot of care.
But today, they will face an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
How long they can persist depends on their fate.
Meng Zhang knew that if no accident occurred, a tragic massacre would occur here.
A pity suddenly rose in his heart, but was quickly thrown away.
Now that they have made a choice, they must bear the consequences.
Maybe deep down in his heart, Meng Zhang didn't necessarily want to commit cruel killings.
But this is a battle in the world of cultivation, and there is no room for any soft-heartedness.
