Chapter 564: Dealing


    From the Endless Sea of Sand to the nearby Great Wind City, and even throughout the entire Jiuqu League, countless cultivators were eagerly discussing the rumors about True Monarch Tian Zhu. Even beyond Jiuqu League, these rumors reached the ears of True Monarch Profound Wind and True Monarch Mountain Peak, who were still in seclusion recovering from their injuries.


    Based solely on these rumors, which were difficult to distinguish as true or false, it was impossible to determine True Monarch Tian Zhu''s current situation. However, the existence of these rumors itself showed disrespect towards True Monarch Tian Zhu, a lofty Primordial Spirit True Monarch who was not someone to be casually discussed or entertained.


    The origin of these rumors started from the Endless Sea of Sand, where True Monarch Tian Zhu did not react to them, allowing them to spread unchecked. There must be some problem with this situation.


    True Monarch Profound Wind and True Monarch Mountain Peak were not daring to guess that True Monarch Tian Zhu might have died. They assumed that he was seriously injured during the battle with the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit, and his condition was not good, leaving them with no strength to inquire about other matters.


    But they couldn''t be certain of their assumptions and had no way to discern the truth. If they dared to investigate in person, it might be a true gamble for their lives, especially considering True Monarch Mountain Peak''s understanding of True Monarch Tian Zhu. He could indeed be setting a trap to lure them in.


    In the recent battle, although True Monarch Mountain Peak and True Monarch Profound Wind managed to escape, True Monarch Tian Zhu had broken True Monarch Mountain Peak''s spine, filling them both with fear and dread.


    Even if their injuries had healed, they still wouldn''t dare to face True Monarch Tian Zhu again.


    However, they couldn''t simply ignore True Monarch Tian Zhu''s situation. They needed to know his current state to make proper preparations and find an exit strategy.


    Therefore, both True Monarch Mountain Peak and True Monarch Profound Wind sent their subordinates'' Gold Core Daoist Masters to secretly go to the battlefield in the Deadly Sea of Sand to investigate the situation.This kind of reconnaissance mission was extremely risky and equivalent to cing their lives on the line. If True Monarch Tian Zhu was in good condition and confronted them despite their senior status, those Gold Core Daoist Masters who went to investigate wouldn''t have a good ending, and their lives might be at risk.


    Even the most loyal subordinates to the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs held resentment towards being forced to dance on the edge of a knife like this.


    Of course, the will of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch could not be disobeyed. Several Gold Core Daoist Masters were forced to embark on this journey.


    Their first target of investigation was the battlefield from the recent battle. To avoid trouble, they deliberately avoided Taiyi Sect''s territory and sneaked into the Deadly Sea of Sand from another direction.


    When they arrived near the recent battlefield, the remaining power of the Grand Dao was still surging and colliding there. This kind of power belonged to the level of Primordial Spirit True Monarchs and was not something a group of Gold Core Daoist Masters could contend with. Even if they were daring enough to risk their lives and approach for inspection, they were quickly injured by the residual power of the Grand Dao and had to retreat temporarily.


    During this time, Jin Li Daoist Master often roamed around this battlefield. Whenever she encountered these Gold Core Daoist Masters trying to investigate, she didn''t bother to talk and directly attacked.


    With her Gold Corepletion level of Cultivation Base, unless facing a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, she could be said to be invincible among Gold Core cultivators. Even when outnumbered, she still had the upper hand, killing the Gold Core Daoist Masters and forcing them to flee in a miserable state.


    At this rate, in a short period, the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs had no way to obtain any intelligence about True Monarch Tian Zhu''s true condition.


    As long as the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs didn''t directly take action, Taiyi Sect and Flying Swan Sect could still hold on and temporarily avoid being destroyed.


    Meng Zhang had discussed with the higher-ups in the sect, and they believed that the truth about True Monarch Tian Zhu''s condition would eventually be exposed. Taiyi Sect couldn''t sit and wait for their doom; they had to take advantage of the current rare breathing space to n ahead and find another way out.


    After a thorough discussion, they felt that, considering the current situation in the surrounding area, the best choice for Taiyi Sect was to find a way to join Jiuqu League and be a member, obtaining the protection of the league.


    After confirming the n with the others, Meng Zhang left Grand Lion Ridge alone and headed to Great Wind City to visit Gu Yue Family.


    Although Meng Zhang had already developed a rift in his heart, on the surface, Taiyi Sect and Gu Yue Family were still very close friends.


    He didn''t rashly visit Gu Yue Huaidie. As the strategist of Gu Yue Family, Gu Yue Huaidie was astute, sensitive, and a Diviner. Meng Zhang was afraid that if he discussed Taiyi Sect joining Jiuqu League with her, she might be able to draw information out of him and expose the true and false aspects of Taiyi Sect.


    This time, Meng Zhang intentionally chose a time when Gu Yue Huaidie was absent to visit Gu Yue Family.


    After arriving at Gu Yue Family, he received a warm wee from the members of Gu Yue Family. The business between Taiyi Sect and Gu Yue Family had grown bigger and everyone had gained many benefits from it.


    Although True Monarch Mountain Peak and True Monarch Profound Wind''s defeat in the Deadly Sea of Sand was kept secret, the well-informed Gu Yue Family still managed to obtain some relevant information.


    Gu Yue Family couldn''t help but admire True Monarch Tian Zhu''s strength, and they also couldn''t help but take a closer look at Taiyi Sect. After all, Taiyi Sect served under True Monarch Tian Zhu, participated in several major battles, and made significant contributions.


    Gu Yue Family sent their elders to receive Meng Zhang and many other cultivators from the sect, actively participating in the reception. They either directly asked or beat around the bush, trying to get detailed information from Meng Zhang about the battle that day and the current situation of True Monarch Tian Zhu.


    Beforeing to Gu Yue Family, Meng Zhang had already considered being asked this question and had prepared how to respond.


    Meng Zhang''s answer was straightforward. He only participated in the first half of the battle. After all the foreign enemies were driven away, True Monarch Tian Zhu engaged in a one-on-one battle with the Fifth Rank Earth Spirit.


    The power of the two figures was too overwhelming, directly mobilizing the power of the Grand Dao to confront each other. They didn''t like having others watching from the side, and when they started, they had no scruples.


    Meng Zhang and the others didn''t dare to stay nearby, fearing they would be injured by the aftermath of their battle. They fled far away from the battlefield to avoid the sharpness of the Grand Dao.


    As for the oue of the battle, Meng Zhang and the others had no idea.


    They hadn''t witnessed the scene of the battle, nor did they dare to approach the battlefield entangled with the power of the Grand Dao.


    As for whether True Monarch Tian Zhu won or lost, whether he was alive or dead, or where he went, it was not something a group of Gold Core Daoist Masters like them could find out.


    Meng Zhang''s lie didn''t deceive the people of Gu Yue Family, and he never expected that the lie could solve all the problems.


    Although they knew that what Meng Zhang said was not entirely true, the people of Gu Yue Family didn''t push too much due to concerns about the presence of True Monarch Tian Zhu. They also didn''t want to provoke a confrontation with Meng Zhang over it.
