Without the protection of the fourth-level protective formation, the combat effectiveness in the camp immediately plummeted.
The monks who had received Zhang Weineng's order long ago dispersed and broke out in all directions.
In fact, in such a battle, only high-level monks can really fight their way out and break out.
Those low-level monks, unless they were extremely lucky, would not be able to escape from the battlefield.
Zhang Weineng never expected that his own large forces could break through.
The formation collapsed and the camp was breached. The morale of the Zhenbei army stationed in the camp immediately dropped sharply, and the military was completely demoralized.
Although Zhang Wei was able to take the initiative to stay and organize the final resistance, hoping to gain a chance of survival for the monks who broke through.
However, he was seriously injured and persisted in the formation for more than a month. His injuries continued to worsen and his energy continued to drain.
Mermaid King and Nanzhu Zhenjun are both very interested in killing opponents like Zhang Weineng.
Now that Zhang Weineng is in such poor condition, it is a good opportunity for them to take action.
Zhang Weineng soon fell into a siege. He was so overwhelmed that he no longer had the energy to care about others.
The Zhenbei army in the camp fell into chaos and was unable to form a military formation. Naturally, it also lost its last resort against high-level monks.
The largest number of people in Zhenbei's army were low-level monks, who at this time became the target of massacre by the enemy.
Zhang Weineng was killed by the Mermaid King and Nanzhu Zhenjun before the camp was completely destroyed.
Finally, he no longer had to witness the complete collapse of his own side and the brutal slaughter of his army.
The camp, which had lost all power of resistance, completely fell. Most of the monks in the camp died in battle, and a few were captured.
Zhang Weineng's final persistence still has a certain value.
Because he attracted the main attention of the coalition forces, many monks in the camp took advantage of the chaos to escape and fled far away.
Before the war was completely over, there was a conflict between the Shui Tribe and the Taiyi Sect monks.
First, the Shui tribe insisted on executing all the captured monks. For the sake of fellow human monks, the Taiyi Sect wanted to keep the captives temporarily.
Next, after several large warehouses in the camp were discovered, the Shui Tribe and the Taiyi Sect monks almost went to war to compete for the spoils.
Before Zhang Weineng died, he once tried to pull someone on his back. But it was too weak and the goal was not achieved.
Of course, his counterattack before his death was not ineffective at all.
Mermaid King and Nanzhu Zhenjun both suffered moderate injuries.
In particular, the Mermaid King was regarded as a traitor by Zhang Weineng, who was regarded as the culprit of his family's downfall and was given special care.
After the conflict between the Shui Tribe and the Taiyi Sect monks, Niu Dawei originally thought that the two sides were allies, and that there would be room for continued cooperation when quelling demonic disasters in the future.
But the attitude of the Shui Tribe was so arrogant that he felt that he could not give in too much.
As a result, Niu Dawei quickly prevented the conflict from intensifying, but he still maintained an unyielding attitude on many issues.
The Mermaid King was superior to Niu Dawei because of his cultivation and status, and he was also unwilling to give in.
Master Nanzhu was just an outsider and was unwilling to intervene in the dispute between the two. He pretended not to see anything and hid far away.
The Mermaid King initially wanted to use his cultivation to subdue Niu Dawei, but Jin Li and other monks in the middle stage of Yuan Shen all stood up one after another.
The Mermaid King thought about the injuries on his body, weighed one and two, and finally reached a compromise.
The two sides divided up all the spoils of war in the camp and jointly sent manpower to guard the camp.
Then the coalition forces disbanded, and each side began to sweep away the surrounding Dali Dynasty strongholds to seize territory and various resources.
Before attacking the camp, the Mermaid King allocated half of his troops to sweep the surrounding areas and enclose the territory.
Relying on this advantage, the Shui tribe gained the upper hand first.
At this time, the Taiyi Sect also discovered Shui Tribe's plot.
The Shui Tribe is not only here to help eliminate Zhang Weineng, but also to seize the territory of Jiuqu Province. It seems that the Shui tribe is going to take root in Jiuqu Province.
According to the promise of Ziyang Shengzong, Jiuqu Province should clearly be the territory of Taiyi Sect.
The matter was so important that Niu Dawei did not dare to make the decision without authorization and quickly informed Meng Zhang.
After the camp was breached, Meng Zhang received the news immediately.
At this time, there is no need to continue to intercept True Lord Qinggu.
However, Meng Zhang still chatted with True Lord Qinggu for a while and actively gave him advice.
Qinggu Zhenjun can completely take advantage of this opportunity to hide himself.
As long as the Dali Dynasty cannot contact True Lord Qing Gu, they will naturally have no way to give him orders and will not disturb his cultivation.
Qinggu Zhenjun had no intention of going against the Taiyi Sect, so he broke up with Meng Zhang.
After Meng Zhang received Niu Dawei's message, he hurried over to join him.
After driving the Void Cauldron and teleporting twice, Meng Zhang appeared in front of Niu Dawei.
At this time, the situation in the entire Jiuqu Province was very good for the Taiyi Sect.
The camp was breached and news of Zhang Weineng's defeat soon spread throughout Jiuqu Province.
Except for a few die-hards of the Dali Dynasty who are still resisting, all cultivators know that the situation in Jiuqu Province has changed, and Taiyi Sect is about to take over.
At this time, anyone who is not a fool should know what choice to make.
Every family of cultivators began to actively contact Taiyi Sect; countless cultivators tried to establish relations with Taiyi Sect; Taiyi Sect welcomed countless cultivators who expressed their surrender...
After eliminating the official power of the Dali Dynasty, these things all happened naturally and had been expected by Meng Zhang.
But the actions of the Shui Tribe were really beyond his expectation.
The Shui Tribe is so recklessly competing for territory with the Taiyi Sect and snatching food from the Taiyi Sect. It is obviously not a sudden move, but a premeditated plan.
Regardless of their strength or situation, the Shui Tribe is inferior to the Taiyi Sect.
If the Shui Tribe dares to do this, there must be support behind it.
Meng Zhang has been in the world of cultivation for many years and has seen many tactics and intrigues.
He boldly guessed that behind the actions of the Shui Tribe, there must be the tacit approval and even connivance of the Purple Sun Sect.
As for why Ziyang Holy Sect did this, Meng Zhang understood it very well.
Any cultivation force will impose certain restrictions on its vassals and will never allow them to grow and develop unscrupulously.
The Ziyang Holy Sect clearly wants to introduce the power of the Shui Tribe into the Jiuqu Province to contain the Taiyi Sect and prevent the Taiyi Sect from becoming dominant.
Put Meng Zhang in the position of decision-maker of Ziyang Holy Sect, he will still make such a decision.
I understand, but Meng Zhang will not accept it so easily.
No matter what, he had to react in a certain way and couldn't act too cowardly.
