Chapter 430: Trivial


    Meng Zhang didn''t beat around the bush; he directly shared his and Luo YeDaoist Master''s n with Gu Yue Huaidie. It was a rough outline of their intentions. Assisting in dealing with a mere Third Rank demonic beast wasn''t a significant matter for Gu Yue Huaidie. After all, for Human n Cultivators, hunting down demonic beasts was a righteous act, carrying the weight of a just cause. With some consideration, Gu Yue Huaidie agreed to Meng Zhang''s request.


    Once Gu Yue Huaidie agreed to help, Meng Zhang gained greater confidence and could assist Luo YeDaoist Master in resolving the Golden Tiger issue. The coboration among different forces, helping one another to solve problems, brought mutual benefits. However, at this point, it remained a preliminary n for Meng Zhang and Gu Yue Huaidie. To turn this n into an executable strategy, much worky ahead.


    Subsequently, both Meng Zhang and Gu Yue Huaidie sprang into action. Meng Zhang needed to contact Luo YeDaoist Master and inform her of the change in ns, with Gu Yue Huaidie joining as a helper. On the other hand, Gu Yue Huaidie had the more challenging task of persuading the Flying Swan Sect to ept her n.


    After Gu Yue Huaidie departed, Meng Zhang visited the Jiuqu League again and got in touch with Luo YeDaoist Master. Upon meeting, Luo YeDaoist Master didn''t express any dissatisfaction with Meng Zhang''s initiative. In fact, she had also considered that relying solely on herself and Meng Zhang might not be enough to handle the Golden Tiger. However, due to theplex situation in the Endless Sea of Sand, she found it difficult to obtain more assistance from the Dark Alliance. She was still contemting how to temporarily enhance herbat strength. Now, with the good news of Gu Yue Huaidie''s involvement, a major problem was resolved.


    Having Gu Yue Huaidie as a strong reinforcement, Luo YeDaoist Master quickly left the Jiuqu League and apanied Meng Zhang to the Endless Sea of Sand. Back at the Taiyi Sect, while awaiting news from Gu Yue Huaidie, Meng Zhang, as the Sect Master, had to take charge of many important matters within the sect. Niu Dawei, who had temporarily acted as the Sect Master, was relieved of this burden and now focused on handling the daily affairs of the sect.


    As a Gold Core Daoist Master, Meng Zhang''s previous ns began to be implemented one by one. He wholeheartedly embraced the benefits offered by Fei JiangDaoist Master of the Flying Swan Sect. Taiyi Sect cultivators marched openly into the former Twin Sess Valley, where they gathered with their fellow sect members who had secretly taken advantage of the situation. Together, they startedrge-scale construction.


    Even the territory of Green Bamboo Mountain, including its mountain gate, was incorporated into Taiyi Sect. This meant that Taiyi Sect now directly bordered the Flying Swan Sect''s immediate territory. The surrounding cultivation forces were quick to notice the recent changes in the situation. The Flying Swan Sect''s concessions and efforts to win them over prompted them to make their choices.


    These cultivation forces, seemingly affiliated with the Flying Swan Sect, sent representatives to Taiyi Sect, expressing their willingness to pledge allegiance to Taiyi Sect in secret. Taiyi Sect readily epted their allegiance, even though it might be merely symbolic at this point. However, Meng Zhang believed that as the situation developed, with subtle influence over time, Taiyi Sect could gradually and thoroughly absorb these cultivation forces into their system.


    There were numerous cultivation forces of varying sizes in the vicinity, and Taiyi Sect had no intention of annihting them all or forcibly integrating them. As a righteous sect and a dominant power, Taiyi Sect needed to maintain its image. In their destitute days, they could be ruthless and resort to any means, but now as a Gold Core sect and a regional hegemon, they had to handle matters with some finesse.


    This is simr to how Meng Zhang''s past vibrant socialites would wash off their past and take on the identity of a virtuous countryman after reaching a certain level of sess in their careers.


    The entire Cultivation World was still dominated by so-called righteous sects. For Taiyi Sect to further develop, it had to learn from the demeanor of the righteous sects, integrate into their ranks, and be one of them. Taiyi Sect established an alliance in the surrounding area, incorporating all nearby cultivation forces into it. Naturally, Taiyi Sect became the leader of this alliance, able tomand all its members.


    Due to some concerns about the Flying Swan Sect, Taiyi Sect did not overly publicize this alliance. The organization structure of the alliance was also quite loose at the moment, mainly serving as a means of resource exchange and consolidation.


    With a Gold Core Daoist Master in control, Taiyi Sect started to take bolder actions in other aspects as well. It purchased numerous flying boats from Great Wind City, establishing an aerialwork spanning the entire alliance. In addition to the regr flights to Flying Swan City, Taiyi Sect also opened a direct route to Great Wind City. Regr flights from Taiyi Sect to Great Wind City transported various resources from the Endless Sea of Sand, while bringing back resourcescking in the Endless Sea of Sand. This increased the frequency of interactions between people from both regions.


    Taiyi Sect now had a considerable number of Foundation Building cultivators, allowing them to safeguard the safety of these remote flying boats. Previously, as rulers of the Endless Sea of Sand, the Flying Swan Sect monopolized most of the trade with Great Wind City. Almost all resources produced in the Endless Sea of Sand were transported to Great Wind City through the Flying Swan Sect. Simrly, the goods purchased from Great Wind City were mostly sold in Flying Swan City.


    When Forest Spring Watch and its affiliated forces were blocked by the Flying Swan Sect, they had to go directly to Great Wind City for trade. After the downfall of Forest Spring Watch, Taiyi Sect gained the privilege of direct trade with Great Wind City under the tacit approval of the Flying Swan Sect, but the scale was small, and the number of transactions was limited.


    Now, Taiyi Sect''s extensive trade with Great Wind Citypletely shattered Flying Swan Sect''s monopoly and severely damaged their interests. Apart from seeking profits, Meng Zhang''s actions also served as a test for the Flying Swan Sect, to see how much they would tolerate Taiyi Sect and their Gold Core Daoist Master. The result proved Meng Zhang''s conjecture right: the Flying Swan Sect did not react at all and allowed Taiyi Sect to act freely.


    Facing immense pressure from both the Fire Cloud Sect and Taiyi Sect, the Flying Swan Sect was already exhausted and incapable of diverting attention to these matters. With the sect''s survival at stake, even significant interests had to be set aside for the time being.


    Therefore, Meng Zhang released the remaining cultivators from the imprisoned Earthfire Sect. He generously allocated a First Rank spirit vein to them, providing a ce for them to settle down and continue the legacy of the Earthfire Sect. This way, Meng Zhangpletely fulfilled the oath he made to his inner demon years ago.
