Lake City is located on a thoroughfare and is the surrounding business center.
There are several great monks in the late stages of Yuan Shen who are stationed in the city all year round, which is enough to ensure safety most of the time.
Even the monks from the Yuanshen sect did not dare to act recklessly in the city.
Meng Zhang hid his true cultivation level and suppressed his aura to the level of a great monk in the later stage of Yuanshen.
Meng Zhang and his party headed to Lake City without any intention of hiding their whereabouts.
Even though Meng Zhang hid his true cultivation level, the strength of this group of people was still something that no one dared to underestimate.
Even in Middle-earth, where there are so many powerful people, almost souls roaming the earth, and golden elixirs are not as good as dogs, such a team led by several great monks is still very rare.
Moreover, the city in the lake is not located in the true core of the Middle-earth continent, it can only be said to be on the edge.
Its overall level of cultivation is not necessarily much better than today's Taiyi Sect.
Due to the joint suppression of the major holy land sects, the number of Yangshen stage powerhouses in the entire cultivation world has always been very limited.
The forces with Yang Shen period monks in charge can dominate even the Middle-earth continent as long as they don't provoke the major Holy Land sects, and no one dares to provoke them easily.
Today's Taiyi Sect, even if it were placed in Middle-earth, no one would dare to look down upon it.
Meng Zhang and his party arrived at Lake City and were immediately warmly received by the monks in charge of the city.
Meng Zhang did not reveal the identity of the head of his Taiyi Sect, only saying that he was an elder of the Taiyi Sect.
With the arrival of such a powerful team of monks, even the three late-stage Yuanshen monks guarding the city were alerted and came out to meet Meng Zhang and the others.
If Meng Zhang and the others had bad intentions and suddenly launched an attack in the city, not to mention capturing Lake City, but at least causing chaos in Lake City and shaking its foundation, there would be no problem.
When the three late-stage Yuanshen monks in the city faced Meng Zhang and the others, they were very polite and tried their best to meet all their reasonable requests.
Meng Zhang and the others came prepared this time, and everyone brought a lot of cultivation materials in their storage instruments.
With the help of the city's senior officials, Meng Zhang and the others quickly completed the transaction and made a good profit.
After purchasing a batch of scarce supplies from the Jiuqu Province, Meng Zhang and the others left Lake City under the welcome of the city's senior officials.
According to what Meng Zhang said before leaving, they still wanted to stroll around and purchase some other supplies.
As soon as they left Lake City, Meng Zhang and the others immediately hid their whereabouts and flew towards the west.
The group of people are all Yuanshen Zhenjun who is proficient in the art of flight, and among them is Meng Zhangzai, who is proficient in the avenue of space.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the area where the target Yanyun Cave was located.
Meng Zhang, who was always cautious, did not lead his men to the Yanyun Cave just like that. Instead, he first found a secret place nearby, and Wen Qiansuan set up a simple magic circle as their temporary foothold.
After temporarily settling down, Meng Zhang, Xu Mengying and Jin Li Zhenjun all changed their images, hid their identities, and started activities in the nearby area.
They used various means to obtain information about Yanyun Cave.
Although Grandma Qiansi provided relatively detailed information when she announced the mission, Meng Zhang didn't fully believe it and still wanted to do some research at home.
With Meng Zhang's strength, he could easily capture an ordinary Yuanshen monk and then find a way to extract a confession.
Of course, the disappearance of the Yuanshen monk is a big deal and will definitely cause a lot of noise.
Meng Zhang selected several Jindan monks and secretly captured them.
Obtain information, erase their memories, and perform a series of actions without anyone noticing.
Xu Mengying majors in the spiritual path and is also proficient in illusion. She is also a good hand at finding out information.
After a lot of work, everyone returned to their starting point.
After summarizing everyone's information, the information provided by Granny Liansi seems to be correct.
The history and experiences of Yanyun Cave are almost known to everyone around.
In the eyes of the surrounding cultivation forces, the Yanyun Cave was a down-and-out Yuanshen sect that was forced to close the mountain to defend itself.
Outsiders have no idea of the true strength of Yanyun Cave.
It seems that it is impossible to know the true situation of Yanyun Cave from the outside.
The Yanyun Cave secretly hides the strong men of the Yang Shen stage, as well as many True Lords of the Yuanshen.
For such a powerful force, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too careful.
Granny Liansi once emphasized that True Lord Yanyun was not as powerful as Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang himself is a strong person in the Yangshen stage, and he knows how difficult it is to kill strong people in the Yangshen stage.
Even if the opponent's strength is not as good as your own, you must have a detailed plan in advance and make various preparations to ensure that you can kill it with one blow.
Especially since there were many doubts in this mission, Meng Zhang had to be more careful.
Since no more valuable information could be obtained from outside, Meng Zhang and the others directly started investigating the Yanyun Cave.
The mountain gate of Yanyun Cave is surrounded by mountains.
A fourth-level mountain protection formation wraps up many surrounding mountains and protects them well.
Ever since Yanyun Cave was declared closed five hundred years ago, the formal disciples of the sect have almost never gone out.
Occasionally, a small number of servants would go out to buy some common daily necessities.
These daily items are mainly edible items such as various spiritual rice and spiritual fruits.
Meng Zhang was a little confused. According to the information provided by Granny Liansi, the leader of Yanyun Cave, True Lord Yanyun, was a strong man in the Yangshen stage. There are less than ten disciples in the sect, and everyone is the True Lord of Yuanshen.
In addition to the Yuqing spiritual machine needed for daily cultivation, these people should not ask for anything from outside. There is no need to purchase so much spiritual food.
As for maintaining servants and the like, there is even less need.
Meng Zhang and the others walked around the mountain gate of Yanyun Cave.
This place is tightly guarded by the mountain protection formation, and there seems to be no flaws.
In fact, with the strength of Meng Zhang's team, they can forcibly break through most of the fourth-level mountain guarding formations.
The large formation in front of them couldn't stop them at all.
Wen Qian was left alone, wandering slowly around the formation.
He must carefully study the reality of this formation to ensure that when necessary, it can be broken at the minimum cost and in the shortest time.
The most ideal situation is to enter the formation quietly without making any noise.
After the Yanyun Cave was closed, it was equivalent to giving up all the original territory.
The surrounding cultivation forces would naturally not be lenient and took the opportunity to carve up and seize the territory that originally belonged to Yanyun Cave.
Of course, Yanyun Cave is also a Yuanshen sect after all. Even if he is down and out, as long as the True Lord Yuan Shen in the sect is still there, no one will dare to look down upon him too much.
There is a large area near the mountain gate of Yanyun Cave that no cultivator forces have come to occupy.
As a result, this place gradually became a buffer zone with no control over the situation.
A small market appeared here, and it slowly became prosperous.
The markets in the area are convenient for selling those shady items.
