When Meng Zhang commanded the expeditionary army to start taking action, Yang Xueyi also organized an army of monks, starting from the area where Maple Leaf Mountain City is located, and slowly extending towards this side, trying to connect the two distant areas.
Meng Zhang not only dispatched monks at the level of True Lord Yuanshen to investigate intelligence, but sometimes he even went out to investigate in person many times regardless of his identity as the leader of the army.
For some unknown reason, there are no large groups of monsters gathering in the surrounding area, let alone powerful monsters.
In addition to the small groups of monsters wandering around, there are also some cultivators who have established nests in the ruins of Shanmen.
On the one hand, Meng Zhang ordered to continue to strengthen the investigation, and on the other hand, he sent out multiple teams of monks to continue to exterminate these monsters.
The main force of the army did not dispatch easily and was still stationed in the base.
Although it was only a temporary base, Meng Zhang still ordered a lot of resources to be invested in its construction.
According to Meng Zhang's plan, even if the demon disaster in the Daheng cultivation world is extinguished, this base must be preserved as much as possible.
In the future, all it takes is one team of monks to be stationed here to pose a huge threat to the aquatic tribe in Jiuqu River.
This was not the first time Meng Zhang commanded an army to go on an expedition.
Facing an unprecedented enemy, he was cautious enough, and his first principle was safety in everything.
After the expeditionary army arrived in Daheng Cultivation World, there has been no major movement.
Although small-scale battles continued, the progress was actually not great.
Meng Zhang is not afraid of Ziyang Shengzong urging him.
I will not accept the order of the foreign king. Under the current situation, it is Ziyang Holy Sect who needs his own help to extinguish the demonic disaster. And as the commander of the army, he should also have such command power.
Although in the army, in addition to the monks from the Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Dao Alliance, there are many monks from other cultivation forces, such as the recruited monks from the Datong Merchant Alliance, who have a deep grudge against the Taiyi Sect.
However, Meng Zhang's orders could still flow unimpeded among the army.
Meng Zhang was basically able to enforce orders and prohibitions, and no one dared to openly disobey military orders.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost three months since the expeditionary army arrived in Daheng Cultivation World.
The expeditionary army seemed to have limited results, but Meng Zhang carried out the original battle plan step by step, basically without interference from the outside world.
At this time, Xiao Qiao of the Purple Sun Sect finally contacted Meng Zhang through a special communication device.
During this period of time, Xiao Qiao has not been idle, and has been actively running around in the Daheng cultivation world.
Relying on the name of Ziyang Shengzong, he successfully contacted the remaining cultivation forces in the Daheng cultivation world.
Especially the principals of the remaining three giant sects have had serious conversations with Xiao Qiao.
Bairi Zhenjun, the leader of Bairi Valley, Cangsong Zhenjun, the supreme elder of Songfeng Sect, and Shanji Zhenjun, the leader of Wanhe Mountain, are currently the three most powerful cultivators in Daheng.
The development of the demonic disaster to such a serious level has far exceeded their expectations.
When they indulged or even cultivated monsters, they never thought that they would suffer the consequences and play with fire and burn themselves.
Even before the entire Xiang family was demonized, they did not realize the seriousness of the problem and thought that everything was under control.
However, after the Xiang family became a demon, the situation deteriorated so quickly that they were unable to react.
Faced with the huge catastrophe, the three cultivation forces all made similar reactions.
They fully reduced the strength of their respective sects, tried their best to strengthen the defense near the mountain gate, and abandoned everything else.
In this way, although they ensured the safety of their own mountain gate, they also lost the last chance to quell the demonic disaster by relying on their own strength.
It's not that they were really that stupid, let alone that they didn't foresee the consequences.
It's just that at the critical moment, the selfish mentality of cultivators in them, and they only care about preserving their own strength.
The three giant sects are all like this, let alone other cultivation forces.
Taking advantage of the fact that the major cultivation forces began to shrink with all their strength and only focused on the chance of self-preservation, the monster side also completed a rough integration.
The higher the level of the monster, the smarter it is. Many high-level monsters are smarter than many humans.
However, most monsters cannot escape the constraints of their nature.
Their brutal and bloodthirsty nature often overshadows their rationality.
This makes them often impulsive, rash and unable to make correct decisions when acting.
Moreover, there is often a deep wariness between different groups of monsters. Even if they temporarily join forces to fight against the enemy, they will not last long.
But no matter what, with the intelligence of those high-level monsters, they still know that unity makes them stronger.
Especially after the human cultivation forces retreat to the mountain gate, they must gather powerful forces to break the mountain gate with strong defense.
The head of the Xiang family, Xiang Huanan, was demonized by the Lord of the Moli Palace. This was both a punishment and a method of the Lord of the Moli Palace.
After being demonized, Xiang Huanan retained most of his memories and sanity during his lifetime.
The power that the Lord of the Demon Plow Palace left in his body allowed him to temporarily escape from the shackles of the monster's instinct.
In the valley that demonized South China, despite Meng Zhang's efforts to kill, there were still many Yuanshen Lords who luckily escaped and then completely turned into monsters.
Before Xiang Huanan was demonized, he was a great monk in the later stage of Yuanshen. After being demonized, his strength has not decreased but increased.
He first united the monsters in the valley, and then gained the allegiance of the monsters on Xiang's territory.
He was originally the head of the Xiang family, and with the power given by Master Moli, he could easily subdue the demonized Xiang family members.
As one of the four giants in the Daheng cultivation world, the Xiang family has many monks and strong men emerge in endlessly.
Once they are all demonized, they will become a large and powerful army of monsters.
Xiang Huanan led this army and began to slowly conquer and integrate the different groups of monsters scattered throughout the Daheng cultivation world.
Among the monsters that prey on the weak, the level of strength is particularly important.
Xiang Huanan has the aura left by the demon god, Lord of the Demon Plow Palace, and can easily subdue those wild monsters.
The movement to South China was very smooth and did not encounter much resistance.
Except for a few monsters who stayed away from him, most of the monsters in the entire Daheng cultivation world had become his subordinates.
The monsters that were originally so scattered were now under unified command.
What this means, any cultivator with some brains should understand.
The monster's movements were not disguised at all.
The human cultivators soon became aware of this situation through various means.
Let alone ordinary cultivators who feel that the situation is over, even people like True Lord Bai Ri and True Lord Cangsong feel that disaster is imminent.
