Meng Zhang first went to see the Mermaid King.
The Mermaid King uses his strength to bully the small, and relies on his cultivation to bully Niu Dawei. Meng Zhang must be given an explanation.
The Mermaid King's cultivation and strength were higher than Meng Zhang's, but he was a little injured, and Meng Zhang had the Void Cauldron, a magical weapon, and was already in an invincible position.
Meng Zhang stopped the Mermaid King angrily, insisting that he give him an explanation.
Judging from his posture, he seemed to be about to fight if he disagreed.
In full view of everyone, the Mermaid King confronted Meng Zhang without showing any signs of weakness.
Neither party has any intention of taking action, but such a gesture is necessary.
Before their conflict escalated, Lord Nanzhu hurried over and started to make peace between the two, trying hard to persuade both parties to calm down.
Meng Zhang knew that even though the three brothers and sisters of Nanzhu Zhenjun were temporarily living in Taiyimen, in the end, they were always outsiders.
Between the Purple Sun Sect and the Taiyi Sect, their choice has always been very clear.
Using Master Nanzhu's persuasion as a stepping stone, Meng Zhang seemed to leave angrily.
Meng Zhang decided to go to Tiangong to ask for an explanation from Ziyang Shengzong.
Before leaving, he gave Niu Dawei instructions for a long time and made arrangements for the next matters.
In order to stabilize the situation in Jiuqu Province as soon as possible and completely control all the territory, Taiyi Sect can be more lenient.
Especially when there are water tribes competing for territory, the Taiyi Sect must fight against every second.
As long as all the cultivation forces in the south of Jiuqu Province take the initiative to surrender to Taiyi Sect now, all past grudges will be forgotten.
Each cultivation force can retain its original territory and resources.
All their original interests will be preserved.
Among them, those cultivation forces who first surrendered to Taiyi Sect must receive certain rewards.
Those stubborn people must be eradicated resolutely, and there must be no mercy.
Those territories that directly belong to the official Dali Dynasty are the key targets of the Taiyi Sect.
Of course, if the Dali Dynasty monks stationed in these territories are willing to surrender to Taiyi Sect, Taiyi Sect can also accept them generously.
No matter who the monk is, if he wants to surrender, he can only surrender to Taiyi Sect.
If a monk from the human race abandons the human race and goes to collude with the water tribe, he is a human traitor and sinner, and everyone will punish him.
In the south of Jiuqu Province now, the forces headed by large merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance are the largest remaining force.
These big merchants and the Taiyi Sect are old enemies, and there have been many grievances between the two parties in the past.
If something hadn't happened to the Shui Tribe, these big merchants would have been the next targets for Meng Zhang to eliminate.
But under the current situation, Meng Zhang could only put aside his past grudges and tolerate their existence.
Taiyimen sent envoys to contact these big merchants.
As long as these big merchants stay on their own territory and don't come out to cause trouble with Taiyi Sect, Taiyi Sect will acquiesce that they continue to occupy their current territory.
Even after the situation in Jiuqu Province stabilizes, they can continue to do business in Jiuqu Province.
Meng Zhang believed that the conditions he had given were lenient enough and that the concessions he had made had reached the bottom line.
If these big merchants do not care about life and death and really want to fight against Taiyi Sect to the end, then Taiyi Sect will eliminate them all first at all costs.
Zhang Weineng was killed in battle, the Zhenbei army was destroyed, and all the power of the Dali Dynasty in Jiuqu Province was far from being able to stop the Taiyi Sect.
As long as Meng Zhang is willing, he can easily eliminate any of the original forces in Jiuqu Province.
He is just being so magnanimous now out of expediency, in order to minimize Taiyi Sect's losses.
Niu Dawei must lead the monks of the Hanhai Dao League to seize the unclaimed lands in Jiuqu Province due to the collapse of the official power of the Dali Dynasty.
During this process, even if there is a conflict with the Shui tribe, one must be tough enough and determined not to give in.
Of course, if you are tough, you can't really break up with the water tribe, let alone start a fight easily.
How to master this intermediate degree depends on Niu Dawei's skill and wisdom.
After explaining Niu Dawei, Meng Zhang rushed to the Tiangong without delay.
He came to Ziyang Shengzong's residence in Tiangong and met Xiao Liang smoothly.
Xiao Liang didn't make excuses to avoid meeting, which was a good start.
After seeing Xiao Liang, Meng Zhang ignored the pleasantries and went straight to the point and started to sue the Shui Tribe.
Although he knew that the Shui Tribe had the support of the Purple Sun Sect, he would not be stupid enough to tell it.
He just grabbed the Shui Tribe and said that the Shui Tribe was acting recklessly and disobeying the orders of the Purple Sun Sect.
Jiuqu Province was originally the territory promised to Taiyi Sect by the Purple Sun Sect, but the Shui Tribe expanded at will and grabbed the territory.
This clearly means that the Purple Sun Sect is not taken seriously, and it is even more contemptuous of the majesty of the Purple Sun Sect.
Such a crude transfer made Xiao Liang very happy.
He was happy that Meng Zhang was very sensible and knew how to hold on to the Shui Tribe and didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.
Xiao Liang told Meng Zhang helplessly.
The Xiao family has great power within the Ziyang Holy Sect. It is not the only one, there are many forces that can compete with the Xiao family.
The Xiao family has many enemies.
The Mermaid King of the Shui Tribe hooked up with some enemies of the Xiao family and indirectly influenced the top leaders of the Purple Sun Sect.
Originally, relying on the Xiao family's matchmaking, the senior officials of the Purple Sun Sect had already decided to hand over the Jiuqu Province to the leadership of the Taiyi Sect.
However, these enemies of the Xiao family made many slanders to the higher-ups, constantly slandering the Taiyi Sect, believing that the Taiyi Sect was not reliable enough, not loyal enough to the Purple Sun Sect, and was not qualified to occupy the Jiuqu Province.
Xiao Liang was also angry about Taiyi Sect's current experience and the Shui Tribe's actions.
Xiao Liang patted his chest and assured Meng Zhang that he would definitely argue for the Taiyi Sect in front of the senior officials of the Purple Sun Sect and work hard to ensure that the interests of the Taiyi Sect were not harmed.
Immediately, Xiao Liang changed his mind.
Of course, due to the existence of those enemies, he cannot guarantee that his efforts will bear fruit.
In the next battle to quell the demonic disaster, if Taiyi Sect can actively fight and make enough contributions, he will be able to speak for Taiyi Sect.
As for now, the Taiyi Sect and the Shui Tribe are still allies, and there is still much room for cooperation in the battle to quell the demonic disaster.
Both parties should still value peace, try to control themselves, and avoid conflict.
Xiao Liang said a lot, and seemed to be sincere and considerate of Taiyi Sect wholeheartedly.
But in Meng Zhang's opinion, it was all nonsense.
However, Meng Zhang still had to suppress his dissatisfaction and cooperate with Xiao Liang in acting.
Xiao Liang also knew that Meng Zhang knew that he was acting.
However, neither party ruined the friendly atmosphere and cooperated with each other to put on a good show.
