Wen Dongzhenjun did not conceal his purpose of coming, but made his request in the softest words possible.
Governor Zhang Weineng is preparing to lead a large army to attack foreign invaders for the sake of the human race in Jiuqu Province.
As a human monk, Meng Zhang should lead the Taiyi Sect to actively cooperate and fight against the enemy together.
To be honest, Meng Zhang didn't have any objections to fighting against extraterritorial invaders, and he was extremely in favor of it.
However, he believed that now was not a good time to take the initiative to attack.
There are many reasons for this. Speaking from the Taiyi Sect alone, Meng Zhang hopes to have more time for the Taiyi Sect to develop and accumulate strength.
At the very least, we have to wait until the demonic disaster in the Daheng Cultivation World is over and the Taiyi Sect has completely established a foothold there before it can take its turn to deal with the extraterritorial invaders from the Jiuqu Province.
Because Taiyi Sect has strict internal discipline and does a good job of keeping secrets.
Until now, outsiders don't know that Taiyi Sect has invested a lot of power in Daheng Cultivation World.
Although the monster group had taken the initiative to retreat, Taiyi Sect did not continue to send reinforcements.
But in the Daheng cultivation world, Taiyi Sect still retains a strong army of monks.
After all, Taiyi Sect has only been around for a short time, and even the Endless Sand Sea and Demonic Wind Gobi have not yet been completely filled.
A lot of efforts have to be invested in the newly acquired Yuantu Prairie.
Many times, Meng Zhang felt that Taiyi Sect expanded too fast, involved too many directions, and occupied too much territory, making it a bit difficult to take care of everything.
According to Meng Zhang's arrangement, the Taiyi Sect's main focus should be on internal affairs for a long time to come.
As long as there is no foreign invasion, Meng Zhang is not prepared to take the initiative to send troops.
Now Governor Zhang Weineng's request to cooperate with the dispatch of troops went against the interests of the Taiyi Sect and disrupted Meng Zhang's arrangements.
Meng Zhang had long been aware of the purpose of Zhenjun Wen Dong's visit and had already thought of an excuse to evade it.
Meng Zhang told Zhenjun Wen Dong that he very much agreed with Governor Zhang Weineng's actions and was willing to send troops to coordinate operations.
However, he had just broken through to the late stage of Yuanshen, and his realm was far from stable, and his cultivation was still very superficial, let alone familiar with the newly acquired power.
He needs to spend a period of time to consolidate his realm and stabilize his cultivation to avoid regression in his cultivation.
Meng Zhang's words were not entirely excuses.
He hurriedly broke through to the late stage of Yuan Shen in the underground near Yuanshan Temple, relying on the power provided by the Earth Milk Spirit Serum.
After that, he didn't have much time to stabilize his realm, so he was busy chasing down the demon fetus.
After a hard fight, he finally won the victory by taking advantage of Shanzhong Zhenjun's poor condition and the demon fetus being restrained by the Demon-Conquering Mirror.
During the battle, during the process of refining the demon fetus, he became a little familiar with the newly acquired power.
Then, he hurried back to the mountain gate after taking care of the affairs of the four guardian generals.
Now Meng Zhang really needs some time to settle down and sort out his cultivation.
You must know that his breakthrough to the late stage of Yuanshen this time was not done willingly, nor was it a natural breakthrough, leaving many hidden dangers.
It is foreseeable that Meng Zhang will have to pay the price for this for a long time to come.
In order to remedy these hidden dangers, he needs to spend countless time and energy.
After listening to Meng Zhang's excuse, Zhenjun Wen Dong fell into silence.
Of course he knew that Meng Zhang was looking for excuses to shirk.
But what can he do?
Meng Zhang is already a great monk in the later stage of Yuanshen, and the situation has completely changed.
The original method of directly threatening and bringing out Governor Zhang Wei to suppress him was no longer applicable.
If Meng Zhang is really pushed to the opposite side of the Dali Dynasty, then Zhenjun Wen Dong cannot bear the consequences.
With the official power of the Dali Dynasty in Jiuqu Province, even if they could defeat Taiyi Sect, they would suffer heavy losses and it would be difficult to continue their rule.
Wen Dongzhenjun was silent for a while and chose to compromise.
He said that no matter what happened, it was not as important as Meng Zhang's cultivation. Since Meng Zhang wants to continue practicing and consolidate his cultivation realm, there is no need to trouble him during this expedition.
Wen Dongzhenjun tentatively asked again if Meng Zhang himself would not participate in the expedition, if he could send Taiyi Sect monks to cooperate in the battle.
From Zhenjun Wendong's previous concession, Meng Zhang clearly saw his weakness at this time.
Meng Zhang randomly found an excuse and refused to send any monks from his sect to join the battle.
Being repeatedly rejected by Meng Zhang made Zhenjun Wendong very embarrassed.
But form is stronger than people, and he has no better way.
In the end, Wen Dongzhenjun's persuasion failed, and he had to leave Taiyi Gate with regret.
On the surface, Meng Zhang treated Zhenjun Wen Dong very politely and with thorough etiquette.
He personally sent Zhenjun Wendong out of the hall, and called an elder to send him away from the Taiyi Gate.
After Wen Dongzhenjun returned, he told Governor Zhang Weineng all about his experience, Meng Zhang's cultivation, the current situation of Taiyi Sect, etc.
After listening to Wendong Zhenjun's words, Zhang Weineng hesitated for a long time and finally made a very unwilling decision.
The planned attack against extraterritorial intruders was completely cancelled.
Zhang Wei was able to make this decision not just because he lacked the Taiyi Sect's combat power, but because he had other concerns.
In fact, even if the Taiyi Sect does not participate in this battle, with the power he has at his disposal, he is very confident that he can repel the group of extraterritorial invaders and teach them a harsh lesson.
But now that Meng Zhang has become a great monk in the late Yuanshen period, his loyalty to the Dali Dynasty is limited, and he obviously does not obey his orders.
In Zhang Weineng's mind, his defense against Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect has been raised to a higher level.
From now on, Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect will also be the targets of his strict precautions.
His biggest worry was that after the Dali Dynasty's power in Jiuqu Province fell into a battle with outside invaders, Meng Zhang reaped the benefits and became the final winner.
Therefore, he canceled the original plan and instead strengthened the precautions against Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect.
Under the current circumstances, the Dali Dynasty itself will not be able to provide large-scale support to Jiuqu Province for a long time.
Zhang Weineng became the only support for the Dali Dynasty to maintain its rule in Jiuqu Province.
Zhang Weineng, as an important minister deeply trusted by Emperor Bawu, knew many of Emperor Bawu's secrets.
For every additional territory conquered by the Dali Dynasty, Emperor Bawu's power would become stronger.
But similarly, as the territory of the Dali Dynasty decreases, Emperor Bawu will also be negatively affected, and his strength will be weakened.
Compared with the huge mainland of Dali Dynasty, the vast Jiuqu Province is not worth mentioning at all.
However, at the critical moment facing the Purple Sun Sect, Emperor Bawu must maintain his best condition, and any weakening cannot be tolerated.
Zhang Weineng, who has a heavy responsibility, must consider things carefully and consider all possibilities. Even the worst-case scenario must be taken into account.
