In Meng Zhang's heart, there has always been a hidden worry.
Zhang Weineng, the governor of Jiuqu Province, suddenly lost his mind and insisted on operating the Taiyi Sect first in order to unify the human cultivation forces in the entire Jiuqu Province.
Although this possibility is very small, Zhang Weineng should not be so irrational.
If Zhang Wei can take action against Taiyi Sect, even if he wins, he will pay a heavy price and give opportunities to foreign enemies such as invaders from outside the territory.
But if he is determined and insists on making peace with the outside world first, then the Taiyi Sect will be in big trouble.
Meng Zhang thought for a while and felt that he couldn't just tolerate Zhang Weineng. You still have to flex your muscles and show your strength. Let him know that the Taiyi Sect is no longer what it used to be.
If he wants to win the Taiyi Sect, it will definitely cost him more than he gains, and he will knock out all his big teeth.
As for how to act, it can not only show strength and make Zhang Weineng fearful, but also not completely intensify the conflict between the two parties and lead to a complete fall out, this needs to be carefully considered.
Meng Zhang summoned a group of senior officials in the sect, including Sun Pengzhi, the dog-headed military advisor, to discuss the matter.
Since Sun Pengzhi joined Taiyi Sect, his performance has been good and he has made many contributions.
He is resourceful and often provides constructive suggestions.
Although Meng Zhang has not relented yet, he asked him to be the mastermind of Taiyi Sect. But many times, his opinions will be listened to.
Sun Pengzhi will also actively participate in key occasions like this where important matters are discussed.
This not only allows him to listen to his valuable opinions, allows him to participate in major events, but is also an exercise for him.
After everyone discussed it, they came up with many suggestions.
Finally, Sun Pengzhi gathered everyone's opinions and formulated a plan for Meng Zhang to use.
Meng Zhang himself also participated in the discussion, and of course he would not object to it.
Meng Zhang issued the order as the leader, and the entire Taiyi Sect immediately took action.
Meng Zhang personally went to the Huanglian Sect to meet his old friend Xu Mengying.
Over the years, Xu Mengying has gained a lot of benefits in the Heavenly Palace, and most of them have been spent on the sect.
The Huanglian Sect was originally an old sect from the Jiuqu League era, with a long history and rich heritage.
During the time of the old leader Xu Huanshan, he was once qualified to participate in the struggle between the Qingyuan Sect and the Jade Sword Sect.
Although after a series of changes, the sect was divided internally and began to weaken.
However, after Xu Mengying came to power, she worked hard to revive the sect and adopted various methods.
Up to now, although the Huanglian Sect still has many problems, it can be regarded as an out-and-out Yuanshen sect and is gradually returning to its heyday.
Not to mention anything else, just from the top level of the door, Xu Mengying has long been a monk in the middle stage of Yuanshen. Xu Daoran has been sitting in the Tiangong all year round, and his cultivation has been steadily increasing.
As far as Meng Zhang knew, there seemed to be several Jindan monks in the Huanglian Sect who were trying to break through to the Yuan Shen stage.
As long as one of these people succeeds, the third True Lord of Yuanshen will appear in Huanglian Sect, and his strength will be greatly increased.
The Huanglian Sect has grown in strength over the years, but its close relationship with the Taiyi Sect remains unchanged.
This is not just the close relationship between the two helmsmen, Xu Mengying and Meng Zhang, but also the interests.
The Huanglian Sect can gain too many benefits from Taiyi Sect.
Of course, for the Taiyi Sect, having allies like the Huanglian Sect can greatly enhance the power of control.
After Meng Zhang was promoted to a great monk in the late Yuanshen period, Governor Zhang Weineng still maintained a good relationship with the Taiyi Sect on the surface, but he secretly made a lot of small moves.
The official power of the Dali Dynasty was secretly infiltrating into the Huanglian Sect and other sects.
The envoys sent by Zhang Weineng also actively attracted the Huanglian Sect, Changchun Guan and other sects, trying to win them to their side.
Of course, because of the prestige that Meng Zhang has established over the years, the controllers of these sects have no intention of betraying the Taiyi Sect for the time being.
But Meng Zhang couldn't just watch this happen without reacting at all.
If Zhang Wei is allowed to use his methods, these sects will definitely become alienated from Taiyi Sect in the long run.
Now, Meng Zhang is solving the problem once and for all.
Meng Zhang came to see Xu Mengying this time because there were many things that required her cooperation.
The two had a long and sincere conversation, and Meng Zhang also made a lot of promises.
Xu Mengying has been a loyal supporter of Meng Zhang for so many years. Even though Zhang Weineng sent an envoy and offered a very high price to win over her, she did not waver.
This is not just because of the life-and-death friendship between the two, but Xu Mengying has always seen it clearly.
To the Dali Dynasty, the Huanglian Sect would always be an outsider. After using it, it will be discarded like worn out shoes.
Once the Huanglian Sect develops and grows, like the Taiyi Sect, and shows enough power to threaten the rule of the Dali Dynasty, it will be secretly rejected and hostile by the Dali Dynasty like the Taiyi Sect today.
However, Taiyi Sect always needs the support of Huanglian Sect and will always regard it as its most important ally.
After Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying have reached an agreement, they can implement their plan.
Meng Zhang sent invitations to the four sects of Changchun Guan, Jiqiao Sect, Huolie Mountain and Wurift Valley.
He invited the principals of the four sects to go to Baicao Slope, the mountain gate of Taiyi Gate. He had important matters to discuss with them.
Among them, the three sects of Changchun Guan, Jiqiao Sect and Huolieshan are all Meng Zhang's predestined allies.
As for Wukai Valley, although he has never dealt with the Taiyi Sect, True Lord Wukai also greatly offended Meng Zhang.
But Master Meng Zhang had a lot of them, so he still gave Wu Rift Valley one last chance.
If Wu Rift Valley understands the situation, it can continue to exist in Jiuqu Province, and maybe it can develop further.
But if Wu Rift Valley doesn't know how to live or die, then there is no need to exist.
On the appointed day, Xu Mengying and Meng Zhang had already arrived at Baicao Slope of Taiyimen Mountain Gate.
True Lord Changchun of Changchun Temple, True Lord Jiqiao of Jiqiao Sect, and True Lord Huolie of Huolie Mountain all arrived here on time.
Only True Lord Wukai of Wurift Valley ignored Meng Zhang's invitation and ruined his last chance.
Needless to say, True Lord Changchun and True Lord Jiqiao had already been subdued by Meng Zhang. Not to mention being submissive, at least he obeyed and did not dare to disobey Meng Zhang's orders.
True Lord Huolie has always been unruly and hot-tempered. He is not a fool. He also knows not to confront Meng Zhang head-on.
In the past, when everyone discussed matters together, they would mostly rely on their elders to get more benefits, and never dared to really cause trouble.
Later, Meng Zhang's ruthless means of annihilating the Shangguan family frightened him so hard that he did not dare to have other ideas.
Now that Meng Zhang has become a great monk in the later stage of Yuanshen, he has the ability to crush everyone present.
True Lord Huolie not only came here honestly, but he also lowered his eyebrows and was very low-key.
