Zhang Weineng can no longer be entangled in Wu Rift Valley's destruction, and can even acquiesce in the crime Meng Zhang has laid on Wu Rift Valley. But he would never give up this small world to Meng Zhang.
The Dali Dynasty from which Zhang Weineng was born was far more powerful than the Taiyi Sect in its heyday. Zhang Weineng also had a lot of information that Meng Zhang didn't know.
This small world can play a huge role in his hands.
Compared with the Taiyi Sect, which has a shallow knowledge, Zhang Weineng is better able to fully explore the value of the small world.
Although Jiuqu Province and the mainland of the Dali Dynasty cannot communicate directly, Zhang Weineng can still enter the Heavenly Palace.
As long as he has enough resources, he can also exchange various cultivation items from the Heavenly Palace to maintain his army.
Seeing that Meng Zhang and Zhang Weineng were both determined to win this small world, and the conflict was about to break out, a monk flew from behind Zhang Weineng.
This is a female cultivator, and she is Shuiling Zhenjun, the leader of Shuiling Pavilion.
Shuiling Pavilion, as the main Yuanshen sect in the south of Jiuqu Province, defected to the Dali Dynasty relatively early and was able to serve as the leading party.
Therefore, Shuiling Pavilion received better treatment from the Dali Dynasty, and in the process of the Dali Dynasty conquering the Jiuqu League, it took the opportunity to obtain many benefits.
As the representative of the southern cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province, Lord Shui Ling has always been on good terms with the Dali Dynasty, and he still has some respect with Governor Zhang Weineng.
Zhang Weineng had not spoken before, just using his secret skills to secretly spy on the crack.
With his vision and knowledge far surpassing that of Meng Zhang, he discovered the existence of that small world early on.
Then, he secretly communicated with his cronies and prepared to take the opportunity to occupy the small world.
Although Lord Shui Ling was not a direct descendant of the Dali Dynasty, he had a special status, so Zhang Weineng still told her.
Meng Zhang himself did not expect that Xu Kongzi, who had never approached him, would actually speak up and tell him about the existence of that small world.
Meng Zhang and Zhang Weineng refused to give in to each other, but Shuiling Zhenjun did not want to see a war break out here due to some considerations.
Lord Shui Ling came between the two of them and got straight to the point without saying any nonsense.
"Both of you, are you really ready for an all-out war?"
"No one can tell the internal situation of that small world, and you have never sent anyone to enter."
"Are you going to fight for a small world whose internal conditions are unknown, no matter the cost?"
The few words of Lord Shui Ling just touched the hearts of Meng Zhang and Zhang Weineng.
They all guessed that this small world was of great value and could provide many cultivation resources.
But after all, they have never seen the internal conditions with their own eyes, and they cannot tell the specific value of this small world.
Under the current circumstances, if we start a war for the small world, both sides may lose.
Given the situation in Jiuqu Province, both sides need to retain enough strength to cope with the situation.
Although Zhang Weineng believes that his own strength far exceeds that of the Taiyi Sect, the powerful foreign invaders and the Ziyang Holy Sect, which has not taken action so far, are enemies that he cannot ignore.
Even if Zhang Weineng leads an army to destroy Taiyi Sect, he will not be the final winner.
Zhang Weineng and Meng Zhang just tried a few tentative moves.
Although both sides had great reservations and did not show their true abilities, they both had a certain understanding of each other's strength.
Zhang Weineng believed that he could defeat Meng Zhang, but he was not sure about keeping him.
Meng Zhang is even more self-aware and knows that he is no match for Zhang Weineng.
The two people who were originally at odds with each other felt a little regretful in their hearts.
When they were riding a tiger and couldn't get off, Lord Shui Ling handed over the steps, and of course they wanted to use them to get off.
The tense situation between Zhang Weineng and Meng Zhang has eased.
Still, they won't make too many concessions.
Lord Shui Ling continued: "That small world should be the hiding place of the divine descendants for many years. None of us know how many divine descendants are hidden in it and what kind of strength these divine descendants have."
"The small world has been run by the gods for many years. There may be many agencies and numerous ambushes inside." "It will not be easy for anyone to take over this small world."
"In my opinion, why don't we all cooperate to win the small world first, and then divide the spoils according to the amount of our contribution."
Not only did Lord Shui Ling prevent them from starting a war, he also made a seemingly feasible proposal.
The words of Lord Shui Ling greatly moved both Zhang Weineng and Meng Zhang.
The strength of the Taiyi Sect was far inferior to that of the Governor's Mansion.
If serious losses occur during the process of conquering this small world, the consequences will be truly unimaginable.
Meng Zhang even guessed in his heart. If there are powerful gods among the descendants hidden in the small world, the strength of the Taiyi Sect alone may not really be able to win the small world.
Zhang Weineng is also unwilling to suffer too many casualties in the process of conquering the small world.
He wants to retain his strength as much as possible to deal with various challenges faced by Jiuqu Province.
Zhang Weineng and Meng Zhang looked at each other and both saw that the other was tempted by Lord Shui Ling's proposal.
Next, after some bargaining, the two parties reluctantly reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
First of all, Wu Rift Valley colluded with the descendants of gods with the intention of causing trouble to the world of cultivation. Meng Zhang led an army of monks to annihilate them, which was a just act of justice for heaven.
Zhang Weineng also expressed his approval of this statement.
Secondly, all the territories of Wu Rift Valley, including Shanmen, are the spoils of Taiyi Sect.
Zhang Weineng had no objection to this and would not compete with Taiyi Sect.
Of course, after the incident, Taiyi Sect must compensate Zhang Weineng for a batch of cultivation resources.
Over the years, Zhang Weineng secretly supported Wu Rift Valley and gave him a lot of support.
He can't lose his capital, at least he has to get his capital back.
As for the specific amount of cultivation resources Taiyi Sect needs to compensate, naturally there will be further negotiations between the monks under their respective subordinates.
Since there is no problem with the general direction, some detailed issues in the negotiations can also be easily resolved.
Zhang Wei was able to make such a big concession on the matter of No Rift Valley, and even did not hesitate to slap himself in the face. He had only one purpose, which was to get the opportunity to carve up that small world.
That crack and the surrounding area became a public area. The Governor's Mansion and the Taiyi Sect sent people together to sneak into the crack to investigate.
Then the two sides worked together to conquer the small world and destroy the descendants of the gods.
The general principle is to divide the spoils obtained equally.
However, after all battles are over, certain adjustments must be made based on the performance of both parties in the battle and their contribution to this battle.
Meng Zhang and Zhang Weineng had a very hard time talking. Later, the subordinates of both sides joined in. Many Yuanshen Zhenjun talked with each other and argued for a long time before reaching this preliminary agreement.
Neither Meng Zhang nor Zhang Weineng were satisfied with this agreement.
But there is no way. As long as they don't want to start a war immediately, they must make concessions and compromise with each other.
Meng Zhang has been the leader for many years, and Zhang Weineng is far from the top of the dynasty. Both of them have the temperament of mature politicians and know not to act on their own initiative.
The agreement was reached and the matter came to an end for the time being.
Next, it was time to explore the cracks and consider how to attack that small world.
Zhang Wei allowed the leader Hengdao Zhenjun to lead the Zhenbei army back first.
He selected a group of powerful monks from the army and his subordinates to stay, preparing to use them to attack the small world.
A large part of the army of monks who went on this expedition was also dismissed by Meng Zhang.
In addition to some monks embarking on their return journey, there are also some monks who go to occupy the territory of Wu Rift Valley and completely end Wu Rift Valley's rule.
Meng Zhang also left only a small number of monks in the Wurift Valley Mountain Gate.
Of course, the monks who can stay are all carefully selected elites with outstanding abilities in all aspects.
The Taiyi Gate Formation Hall monks who accompanied the army this time set up a simple formation in the area around the crack to temporarily isolate the place.
In this valley, Meng Zhang specially designated a place for Zhang Weineng and his men to temporarily station.
The remaining Taiyi Sect monks' residence is far away from here.
The search team composed of monks from the Taiyi Sect continued to search in the valley.
In addition to collecting trophies and plundering Riftless Valley's accumulation over the years, they also tried to find clues from all aspects to figure out the relationship between the gods and Riftless Valley.
The Riftless Valley monk who fell into the hands of Taiyi Sect was not easy either.
They will be separated and further interrogated by Taiyi Sect's specialized torture monks.
It is not the first time that Taiyi Sect monks have done this kind of thing, conquering cities, conquering other cultivation forces, and dealing with their mountain gates, and they all have very rich experience.
Meng Zhang only needs to give a simple order, and the disciples in the sect will naturally handle everything properly.
Zhang Weineng led a group of men to the temporary area assigned to them by Meng Zhang.
Zhang Weineng knew that conquering that small world and plundering all kinds of precious resources inside was not something that could be accomplished in a short time. It would take a lot of time.
He ordered his men to establish a temporary camp here and prepare for a protracted war.
Among the monks Zhang Weineng left behind, in addition to the direct descendants of the Dali Dynasty, there were also many local monks from the south of Jiuqu Province.
For example, Shui Ling Zhenjun from Shuiling Pavilion and Qianye Zhenjun from Qianye Island were all kept by him.
He originally recruited these local monks to join the army and accompany him to reinforce Wurift Valley.
Now to attack the small world where the gods are hiding, we also need to use their power.
Zhang Weineng has his own plans in mind.
He recruited local monks from Jiuqu Province to join the war. In addition to strengthening his own strength, he also took the opportunity to consume their strength and preserve as many direct monks from the Great Li Dynasty as possible.
Of course, Zhang Wei has rich experience in doing this kind of thing, and he has always been careful not to reveal any flaws or leave any excuses to others.
Lord Shui Ling, Lord Qianye and others are deeply curious about the small world and the descendants of gods, and are willing to stay and see what happens.
They were not completely ignorant of Zhang Weineng's intentions.
