Chapter 176: New Situation


    Ruan Dadao was surprised to see that Meng Zhang, who had just sessfully built his Foundation, was already so aggressive. The Taiyi Sect is now not only not a target for others to merge with, but has also taken the initiative tounch external conquests and annexations. As a result, the surrounding situation became chaotic, with various cultivation forces forming alliances and attacking each other.


    After several months, the situation began to rify. The Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain gained the most from the destruction of Twin Sess Valley. Although they were not as powerful as Twin Sess Valley, they had a rich heritage and many disciples, including some experts. With the tacit approval of the Flying Swan Sect, except for the Twin Sess Valley''s main gate, which was upied by the Flying Swan Sect, most of the other territories fell into the hands of these two forces.


    The allied forces of these two families swept through the area, attacking and conquering cities, and breaking through most of Twin Sess Valley''s strongholds. Any Twin Sess Valley disciples who dared to resist were killed. Due to Flying Swan Sect''s deep hatred for Twin Sess Valley, these two families were determined to eliminate all of Twin Sess Valley''s remaining forces and refused to ept any Twin Sess Valley disciples who wanted to join them. They even sent out special pursuit teams to hunt down Twin Sess Valley disciples who were on the run.


    The surviving Twin Sess Valley disciples scattered and fled, and Taiyi Sect took the opportunity to absorb many of them. Although Forest Spring Watch had Guang ZhiDaoist Master, a Gold Core Daoist Master, they did not benefit from the situation and instead retreated. As long as the matter between Guang ZhiDaoist Master and Flying Swan Sect was not resolved, Forest Spring Watch had to be cautious and avoid provoking Flying Swan Sect. They were afraid that the elders in their sect might act impulsively and destroy Forest Spring Watch.


    Even though Forest Spring Watch was tempted by the legacy left by Twin Sess Valley, they did not dare to reach out and take it at this time. In addition to directly controlling a rtively prosperous area, Twin Sess Valley also had many vassal forces that ruled over some remote and impoverished areas. These areas were now under the control of forces such as Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect.


    After many years of changes, there were originally more than a dozen vassal forces. After several months of war, only four Foundation Building sects remained. Qiaoshou Sect and Golden de Sect joined forces and became the most powerful force, swallowing up most of the vassals that originally belonged to Twin Sess Valley.


    The once powerful Forest Mountain School adopted a strategy of retreat and did not directlypete with the allied forces of Qiaoshou Sect and Golden de Sect. They only took the spoils of war near their own territory and did not expand further. If it were not for Meng Zhang''s sessful Foundation Building, the originally weak Taiyi Sect would have long been a target for others to merge with.


    Meng Zhang, as a Foundation Building cultivator, naturally had some influence. He gathered many loose cultivators, Twin Sess Valley''s remaining cultivators, and other survivors of destroyed forces. With his army of misceneous troops, he was able to intimidate others. Commanding his subordinates, Meng Zhangunched attacks everywhere and gained a lot of benefits, upying many territories.


    For major cultivation forces, territories are the foundation of their existence. The more territories they have, the more prosperous they are, and the more resources they can provide for cultivation. Therger the territories and the more people there are, the more disciples they can recruit.Qiaoshou Sect and Golden de Sect''s alliance first swept through the Refining Qi sects. After finishing, they found that Taiyi Sect, which had been left alone, was also expanding. Now, a new situation has formed. Qiaoshou Sect and Golden de Sect are the strongest, Forest Mountain School is more than capable of protecting itself, and Taiyi Sect appears to be the weakest.


    Outside, after Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain swallowed up Twin Sess Valley''s direct territories, they also had their eyes on the territories of their vassals and were ready to act at any time. Although these vassals'' territories were poor, every little bit counts.


    Qiaoshou Sect, Golden de Sect, Forest Mountain School, and Taiyi Sect are facing the pressure from Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain. What should they do? At this time, the usually conservative Forest Mountain School sent out envoys to visit the other three sects. The envoy proposed that the four sects join forces to maintain their independent status and resist Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain.


    To be honest, among the four forces, there were some who had considered joining Liu Family or Green Bamboo Mountain, but they could not gain enough support within their own sects. Liu Family''s actions were vicious, and the vassal forces under them were not having a good time. As for Green Bamboo Mountain, they appeared kind but were actually cruel and ruthless. A few years ago, they wiped out the Yang Family, one of their vassal forces, just for a treasure, and their reputation was ruined.


    Now, it seems that although Twin Sess Valley was a bit domineering in their actions, they were not particrly harsh, and their disciples could still maintain some face. After experiencing the feeling of being in charge, who would want to be a vassal again?


    The envoy from Forest Mountain School visited the three sects and gained their support, making the leaders of the three sects, Dawei, interested. The most critical issue now is whether the four sects can resist the joint forces of Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain. If the strength gap is toorge, they may surrender early. Being a servant and suffering a bit is better than losing their lives. After all, cultivators who would rather die than surrender are few, and those who are wise enough to recognize the situation are the mainstream.


    A few dayster, Taiyi Sect''s Sect Master Meng Zhang, Golden de Sect''s Foundation Building elder Ruan Dadao, and Qiaoshou Sect''s elder Aunt Jin all came to Forest Mountain School. The two Foundation Building elders of Forest Mountain School, Xu Yishan and Lin Shenpo, received them.


    Today''s meeting is rted to the next decision of the four sects. If they make the wrong decision, they may face the danger of being wiped out. This is a major event that concerns the life and death of the sects. The Refining Qi period Sect Masters of the three sects cannot make the decision alone. They must invite the Foundation Building cultivators who are the real leaders of their sects.


    Meng Zhang, who is the youngest and a Foundation Building cultivator, continues to serve as Taiyi Sect''s Sect Master after building his Foundation. He is very ambitious and believes that Taiyi Sect''s ultimate goal is not just to be a Foundation Building sect.


    After secret discussions among the Foundation Building cultivators, they quickly made a decision. ording to intelligence analysis, the strength of the four sectsbined is not weaker than that of Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain. Surrendering to them is not an option. They will fight first and then see what happens.


    Next, the four sects began to mobilize their disciples, preparing for war. The movements of the four sects could not be hidden, and Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain also began to mobilize their disciples and move forward, ready to act at any time.


    This region has maintained peace for many years, but with the destruction of Twin Sess Valley, one battle after another is breaking out. Soon, the decisive battle that will determine the fate of this region will begin.
