Out of his trust in the Purple Sun Sect, the Mountain Ridge True Monarch fully supported Xiao Qiao almost unconditionally.
But what Xiao Qiao did, especially after the last expedition led by Meng Zhang was attacked by monsters, Xiao Qiao not only failed to provide timely reinforcements, but instead blamed Meng Zhang, which made the True Lord of the Ridge very dissatisfied.
The True Lord of Mountain Ridge supported Xiao Qiao because Xiao Qiao organized an army of monks to work hard to quell the demonic disaster.
However, because of his own selfishness, Xiao Qiao started an internal strife with Meng Zhang, which weakened his ability to fight against monsters. The True Lord of the Ridge was really disappointed.
Next, a series of arrangements made by Xiao Qiao's elder Xiao Liang were even more excessive.
These arrangements completely exposed their selfishness and may affect the overall situation of fighting against monsters.
The Lord of Mountain Ridge sincerely wants to quell the demonic disaster in the Daheng cultivation world.
In his opinion, Meng Zhang is more reliable than Xiao Qiao when it comes to fighting against monsters.
That's why he secretly came over to meet Meng Zhang behind Xiao Qiao's back.
The True Lord of Mountain Ridge wanted to contact Meng Zhang personally to see what he thought about the current situation.
Judging from the words of the True Lord of the Mountain Ridge, this person can be regarded as a man of the right path, and there is room for cooperation on many matters.
Of course, Meng Zhang would not believe him easily just because of what the Mountain Ridge True Monarch said.
After listening to the narration of True Lord Shanji, Meng Zhang did not directly respond to True Lord Shanji, but asked another question.
When he destroyed the demon fetus, Meng Zhang only destroyed the physical body of Lord Shanzhong and allowed his soul to escape.
After that, in order to mess up the situation and mix things up, he sent people to spread rumors, which also said that Shanzhong Zhenjun's physical body was destroyed and his soul escaped.
But later, news of Lord Yamazhong's death soon spread in the Daheng cultivation world.
Based on Meng Zhang's impression of Lord Shanzhong, this person does not seem like the kind of person who is willing to obediently enter the underworld.
Even if the physical body is destroyed and only the soul is left, this person will most likely continue to stay in the world of the world.
The question Meng Zhang asked was about the whereabouts of Lord Shan Zhong after he escaped.
The True Lord of Mountain Ridge only hesitated for a moment before happily responding to Meng Zhang's question.
Lord Yamashige was originally a very suspicious person and did not trust his fellow disciples very much.
In particular, Lord Yamazhong usually acts domineeringly and arbitrarily, and many monks in his sect dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
After his body was destroyed, he did not come into contact with other people in the sect and only secretly met with his confidant Shanliang Zhenjun.
Later, news came out from Shanliang True Lord that not only his body was destroyed, but his spirit was also seriously injured and he was about to lose his strength.
After the funeral arrangements were made, Lord Yamashige died completely.
Shanliang Zhenjun relied on his usual authority and Shanzhong Zhenjun's will to overpower the leader of Shanzhong Zhenjun.
Lord Shanjige also doubted the life and death of Lord Shanzhong at first.
But when I thought about it, no matter how discordant they were on weekdays, we were all members of the same sect and we were also the leader.
When Wanhe Mountain is being pressed hard by the Songfeng Sect, what the sect needs most is unity. Even if True Lord Shanliang is fighting for power with True Lord Shanliang, he should not lie about this kind of thing.
Therefore, Lord Shanjige not only believed the news that Lord Shanshige was dead but also allowed it to spread.
Of course, there is also the selfishness of the True Lord Mountain Ridge.
After the news of Lord Yamashige's death spread, it would help him, the leader, regain control of the sect.
Anyway, the news of Lord Shanzhong's death has completely spread within the Wanhe Mountain Gate, and even throughout the Daheng cultivation world.
Even if Lord Shanzhong is really not dead and makes a comeback in the future, Lord Shanzhong can just deny it and say that the other party is an evil heretic pretending to be a demon.
When the True Lord of the Mountain Ridge spoke of this part, his tone was a bit vague and unclear.
Meng Zhang is also the leader of a sect. Although there is no such fierce power struggle within the Taiyi Sect, there are many similar dramas in the world of cultivation, and Meng Zhang has seen it before.
Therefore, he understood the meaning of True Lord Mountain Ridge very well.
The Lord Mountain Ridge was so frank, which actually made Meng Zhang trust him a little more.
At the same time, Meng Zhang also had some doubts in his heart.
He clearly remembered that when he fought against Yamazhong, Lord Yamazhong took the initiative to self-destruct his body to cover his soul's escape.
His soul escapes very quickly, and even if he is affected by the self-destruction, the injury will not be too severe.
With the state of his soul, he would definitely not collapse.
Could it be that Lord Yamashige was actually faking his own death? Then why did he do this?
Of course, Meng Zhang was not too worried about this issue.
Perhaps Yamashigema's spirit encountered another accident after escaping, so it was severely damaged.
It is also possible that the soul of Lord Yamashige took the initiative to enter the underworld because he wanted to embark on the path of ghosts and gods.
True Lord Shanliang spread the news of his death to avoid some troubles and to prevent True Lord Shanzhong's former enemies from visiting.
In any case, a Shanzhong Zhenjun who only has his soul left, whether he fakes his death or enters the underworld and transforms into a ghost or god, cannot pose a great threat to Meng Zhang.
Moreover, the news of Lord Shanzhong's death has long been spread in the world of Daheng cultivation.
Even if True Lord Shanzhong appears again in the future, the one who is most anxious should be True Lord Shanjing, not Meng Zhang.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhang put the issue aside.
He just reminded the True Lord of the Ridge. When he fought against Lord Yamazhong, he only destroyed his physical body and did not cause any harm to his soul.
After hearing Meng Zhang's reminder, the face of the Mountain Ridge Master couldn't help but change.
He didn't know the true condition of Shanzhong Zhenjun's soul before. He thought that even if the other party was not dead, his soul should be damaged, so he chose to believe that the other party was dead.
Now Meng Zhang's reminder reminded him of some secrets within the sect.
If Lord Yamashige's soul is really intact, then the worst outcome is likely to occur.
As the legitimate leader, who has completely mastered the power of Wanhe Mountain, he will never allow Shanzhong Zhenjun to come back from the dead.
Soon, Lord Ridge's face returned to normal.
If Lord Shan Zhong really comes back from the dead, the monks inside Wanhe Mountain will not be trustworthy due to the prestige accumulated over the years.
On this issue, Meng Zhang is the most trustworthy ally.
The True Lord of the Ridge is a very decisive person.
If he had some other thoughts before, now because Lord Yamazhong is likely to fake his death, he decided to win over Meng Zhang in case of emergency.
The True Lord of Mountain Ridge made a decision after just thinking about it for a moment. Between Xiao Qiao and Meng Zhang, he completely fell in favor of Meng Zhang.
Without Meng Zhang opening his mouth, he took the initiative to inform Meng Zhang of Xiao Qiao's secret arrangements.
