As rumors that were unfavorable to Meng Zhang and the Taiyi Sect spread rapidly, people in the south of Jiuqu Province suddenly became panicked, and dissatisfaction with the Taiyi Sect was rapidly accumulating.
If it were just a pure rumor, it would certainly not have such an effect.
In fact, many of the so-called rumors spoken by these Taiyi Sect monks are true.
Meng Zhang recruited cultivators from major cultivation forces in the south of Jiuqu Province to join the expeditionary army, with the original intention of using them as cannon fodder.
During the battle where he was ambushed by an army of monsters, Meng Zhang had an ominous premonition beforehand, so he brought mainly monks recruited from other families, leaving the Taiyi Sect and vassal monks in the temporary camp.
That defeat resulted in heavy casualties, indeed a lot of cannon fodder was lost.
Many monks in the expeditionary army, such as Lord Shui Ling and others, were very dissatisfied with Meng Zhang at that time.
However, due to Meng Zhang's great strength, they dared not speak out in anger.
Especially after Meng Zhang killed the demonized Xiang Huanan, no one bothered about this issue anymore.
Although they are far apart, Daheng Cultivation World and Jiuqu Province have always maintained a certain degree of contact.
Especially after Meng Zhang led the expeditionary army, communication between the front and the rear has been very smooth.
As this news came back, the remaining monks from the major cultivation forces were very dissatisfied with Meng Zhang.
When Meng Zhang started recruiting monks from all parties, everyone was mentally prepared. Most of their own monks would be used as cannon fodder by the Taiyi Sect.
But when it really happened, everyone still felt inexplicably angry.
His fellow disciples, elders, relatives and friends died on the battlefield, and all the responsibilities were attributed to the Taiyi Clan.
If the difference in strength wasn't too big, and Meng Zhang and Taiyi Sect were sufficiently intimidating, there might actually be guys who weren't afraid of death and would have jumped out to rebel.
With these real situations as the basis, the rumors that Meng Zhang wanted to cut off the inheritance of the major cultivation forces and completely achieve the fate of Shunchang not only spread quickly, but were also quickly accepted by everyone.
The southern part of Jiuqu Province was originally a newly conquered territory by Taiyi Sect, and there was no stable rule at all. Now that there are people who are deliberately provoking it, and coupled with the losses of the expeditionary army, there is suddenly a tendency to become somewhat turbulent.
Although on the surface, no one dares to come out and openly oppose the Taiyi Sect. But secretly, undercurrents have already been surging, and countless conspiracies and plots against the Taiyi Sect have begun to be planned.
Meng Zhang didn't have a good solution for this situation.
The only way to completely solve these problems is to find the enemies hiding in the dark as soon as possible and kill them all. Then, by using this to frighten cultivators from all sides, peace can be restored to the Jiuqu Province.
Unfortunately, although Meng Zhang has mastered a lot of clues so far, there is still a long way to go before he can find out the whereabouts of Zhenjun Wen Dong and others.
Using the clues he had, he used the Dayan Divine Calculation again and made a deduction.
During this derivation process, he once again had a confrontation with the mysterious Tianji master, Lu Gangfeng.
The result was similar to last time. Although Meng Zhang gained the upper hand in the confrontation, due to the timely cover by the opponent, Meng Zhang could not deduce the opponent's whereabouts.
In desperation, Meng Zhang had no choice but to end the deduction.
Since it is not feasible to use the secret technique to deduce now, then the only way is to let all the monks take action and try to collect as many clues as possible.
Of course, Meng Zhang must also make full use of the manpower at hand.
True Lord Shui Ling and True Lord Xuanfeng were surrounded by his orders.
Especially Lord Shui Ling, she is familiar with the situation of Lord Wen Dong and others, and she is a local snake in the south of Jiuqu Province.
Meng Zhang repeatedly urged her to help collect and provide more clues.
True Lord Shui Ling did not disappoint Meng Zhang, and soon provided another very important clue.
Inside Shuiling Pavilion, there was a female Jindan cultivator who once had a close relationship with a junior of Zhenjun Wen Dong.
According to the Golden Elixir female cultivator, she met this junior of Wendong Zhenjun again not long ago.
After receiving Meng Zhang's order, Lord Shui Ling took active action to track down the whereabouts of Lord Wen Dong and others.
As soon as she heard about this from the golden elixir female cultivator in the sect, she hurried over to inform Meng Zhang.
After hearing the report from Lord Shui Ling, Meng Zhang without any hesitation asked Lord Shui Ling to take him to the place where the two met.
Meng Zhang, who was anxious to leave, took True Lord Shui Ling and True Lord Xuanfeng with him and teleported to the destination together without notifying the others.
Over a large river in the south of Jiuqu Province, accompanied by an obvious spatial fluctuation, Meng Zhang appeared with True Lord Shuiling and True Lord Xuanfeng.
Lord Shui Ling pointed to the river below and told Meng Zhang that there was a secret cave at the bottom of the river, which was their destination this time.
With such a close distance, Meng Zhang did not use space teleportation again, but led True Lord Xuanfeng and True Lord Shui Ling to fly towards the river in a swaggering manner.
Flying above the water, the three of them flew to the bottom of the river without any delay. They didn't even need to cast the water-avoiding spell.
Along the way, the river automatically moved around, giving way to a wide channel.
This big river is not only very large, but also extends a very wide distance, and the bottom is very deep.
The bottom of the river is thousands of feet above the water.
Following the direction directed by Lord Shui Ling, the three of them flew to the bottom of the river, and sure enough they found a hidden cave at the bottom of the river.
The entrance to the cave is very secretive, and there are special means to cover it outside.
Fortunately, the three of them are all Yuanshen True Lords, and they can easily spot the target when they are so close.
Meng Zhang took the lead and led everyone to the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that Meng Zhang had already taken half a step forward and was about to enter the cave, he suddenly stopped.
Meng Zhang looked around with confusion, and just as he was about to make a move, there were loud noises all around.
Huge stone monuments suddenly emerged from the bottom of the river, rising continuously, and soon reached the water above.
The river water around Meng Zhang and the others seemed to be boiling, constantly rolling and surging, shaping all kinds of strange shapes.
Light masks appeared out of thin air, completely surrounding Meng Zhang and the others.
Faced with such a huge change, Meng Zhang not only did not show the slightest panic, but his face was full of disdain.
"I can't hold my breath anymore."
"You should wait until I enter the cave before you start."
Meng Zhang's words were clearly heard in all directions.
His confident look was so contagious that the two people, True Lord Xuanfeng and True Lord Shui Ling, who suddenly encountered a huge change and thought they were hiding in their homes, quickly calmed down.
