Chapter 607: South


    Currently, themercial channels of the Taiyi Sect have prated deep into the Jiuqu League, covering most of its regions. Even within the headquarters of the Jiuqu League, Jiuqu City, under the efforts of the Elder Yang Xueyi, they have managed to open up a new situation.


    However, despite these efforts, the Taiyi Sect has still struggled to gather the required Void Nether Stone. Meng Zhang sought help from the Gu Yue Family, and though they sincerely offered assistance, the supply of Void Nether Stone remained scarce. In fact, the Gu Yue Family itself requires a substantial amount of Void Nether Stone for regrly refining a batch of spatial magic tools. Giving even a small portion to the Taiyi Sect was considered a face-saving gesture for Meng Zhang.


    As the repair progress of the Mother-Child Transmission Disc is rapidly advancing and almostplete, there is still a sense of urgency for Meng Zhang, as they haven''t collected enough Void Nether Stone.


    At this moment, an old and long-lost friend visits the Taiyi Sect''s mountain gate, the Hundred Grass Slope, to pay a visit to Meng Zhang. This old friend is none other than Jue YingDaoist Master, who has been a close friend of Meng Zhang for many years.


    Despite being busy with various matters, their friendship has not faded over the years. Meng Zhang always feels indebted to both Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master, their two master-disciple friends. Jue YingDaoist Master''s visit is not just for catching up but also to help resolve Meng Zhang''s troubles.


    It turns out that Meng Zhang ordered the full collection of Void Nether Stone in the sect, which unavoidably involved using the Secret Hall''s intelligence channels. The person in charge of the Secret Hall, An Moran, did his best but couldn''t provide much help. Therefore, he took the initiative to contact Jue YingDaoist Master from the Dark Alliance.


    Back when Jue YingDaoist Master was in the Taiyi Sect, he helped establish the Secret Hall and provided valuable training and experiences to An Moran. Their simr personalities and temperaments led to a master-friend rtionship during their time together.


    They exchanged contact information and asionally kept in touch with each other.


    This time, with no better solutions, An Moran had to seek help from Jue YingDaoist Master. The influence of the Dark Alliance spread throughout the entire Grand Dust World, with branches everywhere. The ck market not only serves as the external face of the Dark Alliance but also acts as a crucial channel for the alliance''s interactions and trades with the outside world.Various forces in the Cultivation World often find a need for the ck market, as it offers many advantages. Meng Zhang, having grown up in the Endless Sea of Sand, could never be separated from the presence of the ck market in that region of the Cultivation World.


    Even now, with the Endless Sea of Sand changing rulers, the previous rulers, Flying Swan Sect, being reced, the ck market''s existence has not been greatly affected. Business continues as usual, but now they need tomunicate with the new rulers.


    Taiyi Sect upies a vast area in the Demon Wind Gobi and is engaged inrge-scale development. Consequently, a ck market has quickly emerged in their new territories.


    Knowing the background of the ck market, Meng Zhang tolerates its existence as long as the rules of the Taiyi Sect are adhered to. This approach reflects a pragmatic attitude of turning a blind eye to the ck market''s existence. Despite any past conflicts between Meng Zhang and the ck market in the Endless Sea of Sand, the ck market remains unaffected within the territories of Taiyi Sect in the Endless Sea of Sand.


    Untilter, the Taiyi Sect continued to grow and expand its influence. The upper echelons of the Dark Alliance made a decision to adjust their operations in the Endless Sea of Sand and Demon Wind Gobi regions. Regardless of whether it was in the Demon Wind Gobi or the Endless Sea of Sand, any ck market organization existing within the territories of the Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Alliance was separated and became an independent entity, with a certain degree of disconnection from the original ck market organizations in the Endless Sea of Sand.


    Due to the friendship between Meng Zhang and Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master, Meng Zhang was always well-informed about the ck market. This move by the Dark Alliance effectively elevated the status of the Taiyi Sect to that of the former Flying Swan Sect. In the future, the interactions between the ck market and Taiyi Sect would require a new approach.


    After this change, any discord between Meng Zhang and the ck market naturally disappeared and became insignificant. The newly integrated ck market organizations within the Taiyi Sect''s territories obediently adhered to the rules of Taiyi Sect, regrly paying protection fees, and actively operating in the underground markets of Taiyi Sect.


    The rtionship between Taiyi Sect and the ck market became harmonious, and Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master could openly lean towards the Taiyi Sect. Previously, when they helped Meng Zhang, it was done through their personal connections. Now, they could fully leverage the power of the ck market to assist the Taiyi Sect, albeit with a certain price to be paid by the sect.


    Upon receiving An Moran''s plea for help, Jue YingDaoist Master mobilized her forces and used the channels of the ck market to gather Void Nether Stone. Both Jue YingDaoist Master and Meng Zhang were Gold Core Daoist Masters, and their young ages indicated promising futures. Their positions within the Dark Alliance gradually elevated, and ordinary members of the alliance were reluctant to provoke them without cause.


    The Dark Alliance''s influence was vast, and the ck market was practically ubiquitous. It existed in various ces, including the Crossing Severing Mountain Range to the south, within the Dali Dynasty, and even further south within the Middle-Earth Continent. There were even rumors within the Dark Alliance that the ck market existed even in the territories of Holy Land Sects.


    As the Jiuqu Leaguecked Void Nether Stone, they sought help from the south. After Jue YingDaoist Master activated the Dark Alliance''s forces, they quickly received a response. A ck market branch in the south offered to sell a portion of the Void Nether Stone to the Taiyi Sect at a fair price, but the sect needed to do a favor in return.


    Upon meeting Meng Zhang, Jue YingDaoist Master didn''t bother with pleasantries and quickly exined the situation. Before Meng Zhang could ask, she directly stated what the Taiyi Sect needed to do to obtain the batch of Void Nether Stone.


    In the Yuantu Great Prairie, there used to be a flourishing situation with numerous cultivation forces and cultivators of various sizes. However, the extraterritorial Barbarian nunched a sudden and fierce attack, catching the local cultivation forces and the ck market off guard. Many cultivation forces were wiped out under the onught of the Barbarian n, and the Barbarian n upied arge portion of the Yuantu Great Prairie.


    During the fall of many cultivation force''s mountain gates, the ck market branches in the Yuantu Great Prairie also suffered heavy losses and lost many crucial strongholds. One of these strongholds was the location of the ck market''s treasury. The attack happened too quickly, and the cultivators from the ck market had no time to transfer the items from the treasury. Before the stronghold fell, they could only use secret techniques to hide the treasury, preventing it from being discovered by the Barbarian n''s army.
