Sect Master's Immortal Journey-Chapter 738: Cleans up the gateway
Chapter 738: Cleans up the gateway
Meng Zhang didn't say much; he directly refined the cloak and draped it over himself. Once the cloak was on, Meng Zhang transformed into a blurry figure, perfectly concealing his appearance and form. Even if various Divine Abilities were used for careful observation, they could only see a hazy figure shrouded in mist, unable to see through Meng Zhang's true identity.
They were not far from taking action at this point. Daoist Master Luo Ye didn't conceal anything from Meng Zhang and revealed the adversary he was dealing with. It turned out that within the Jiuqu League's Dark Alliance branch, the internal situation was complex, and factional struggles were intense.
When facing the enticement from the Dali Dynasty, most of the factions in the Dark Alliance had reached a consensus and were willing to cooperate with the Dali Dynasty. However, unbeknownst to them, the Dali Dynasty had already infiltrated the Dark Alliance branch. They had successfully recruited a group of individuals whose influence within the Dark Alliance was significant.
Luo Ye Daoist Master's faction realized their vulnerability against the mighty Dali Dynasty and chose limited cooperation. Their plan was to outwardly submit to the Dali Dynasty and obey some reasonable commands, but maintain their independence and not be fully controlled by the Dali Dynasty.
Upon hearing Luo Ye Daoist Master's description of her faction's intentions, Meng Zhang felt a sudden shock. Earlier, when Luo Ye Daoist Master sought his advice on how to deal with the Dali Dynasty, Meng Zhang had confidently suggested that her faction actively side with the Dali Dynasty to gain greater benefits. Now, it was clear from Luo Ye Daoist Master's account that her faction had already carefully considered the situation and knew they couldn't directly confront the Dali Dynasty. They understood how to negotiate with them and preserve their own independence.
Meng Zhang realized that he was not as strategically astute as he thought. The advice he had given was not as insightful as he believed. He reminded himself not to act presumptuously among the strategists and wise individuals within the Dark Alliance.
In fact, Meng Zhang's thoughts were somewhat self-deprecating. Luo Ye Daoist Master had genuinely sought his counsel, and his advice had indeed been valuable. She had followed his advice, persuaded her faction's leadership, and helped them make crucial decisions and formulate subsequent plans.
Luo Ye Daoist Master was unaware of the complexity in Meng Zhang's mind and continued to narrate the entire sequence of events.
Although the Dark Alliance branch of the Jiuqu League had decided to align with the Dali Dynasty, they didn't want to become genuine vassals or puppets. They were determined to maintain their independence. During negotiations with the Dali Dynasty's envoy, Wen Dong, his attitude remained ambiguous and evasive due to the presence of traitors within the Dark Alliance branch who had completely sided with the Dali Dynasty.
These traitors were obedient to the Dali Dynasty but deliberately caused trouble for the other members of the Dark Alliance branch. Having the upper hand with these traitors' support, Wen Dong believed he had the advantage during the negotiations and was reluctant to make any clear commitments.
Faced with no other option, the high-ranking members of Luo Ye Daoist Master's faction made a painful decision. They had to eliminate those traitors who had fully aligned with the Dali Dynasty to preserve the purity of their organization.
In the Cultivation World, internal strife within cultivation forces was not uncommon. Particularly in organizations like the Dark Alliance, such conflicts often turned bloodier and more brutal.
Meng Zhang had no interest in determining who was right or wrong in this situation, nor did he care about the authenticity of the arguments presented.
Since Meng Zhang had already chosen to align himself with Daoist Master Luo Ye's faction and sought their friendship, he had no choice but to cooperate with their actions. To prevent interference from the Dali Dynasty, the operation to clean house had to be swift and decisive. Once launched, they needed to eliminate the traitors swiftly and efficiently. All battles had to be concluded within the shortest possible time.
The high-ranking members of Luo Ye Daoist Master's faction had coordinated in advance and united most of the Dark Alliance branch's forces. They had devised a meticulous plan to eradicate the enemy completely. Ordinary cultivators were manageable, but dealing with enemy Primordial Spirit True Monarchs presented a more significant challenge. Killing these adversaries' Primordial Spirits was of utmost importance. Letting enemy Primordial Spirit True Monarchs escape would provide them with a chance to turn the tables and create numerous complications.
To ensure they had enough power for decisive strikes, they not only mobilized their own strength but also sought outside help actively. Having known and trusted Meng Zhang for many years, Luo Ye Daoist Master was willing to foster good relations with him, making him a valuable asset for this operation. Luo Ye Daoist Master shared all the details of the impending battle, ensuring that their allies were well-informed, preventing them from going into battle without a clear understanding of the situation.
Having been fully briefed on the plan, Meng Zhang had no objections. He knew that this time, he was just an emotionless fighter, executing whatever tasks his superiors assigned to him. If the plan went smoothly and their side gained the upper hand, he would fiercely strike down their enemies. However, if things took an unexpected turn, and their side fell behind, he wouldn't hesitate to escape when necessary.

After Luo Ye Daoist Master finished briefing Meng Zhang, she hurriedly left, leaving him alone in the cave, waiting in silence. Meng Zhang crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
After about half an hour, a message talisman flew into the cave. Meng Zhang received it and, after reading its contents, stood up and left the cave. Following the instructions on the talisman, Meng Zhang traveled through underground passages, taking twists and turns until he finally arrived at a spacious hall.
In the hall, two cultivators were already meditating at the center. As Luo Ye Daoist Master had described, they were the leaders of her faction - Red Pig True Monarch and Jade Rabbit True Monarch.
Red Pig True Monarch was a tall, heavily built individual with a belly full of fat. On the other hand, Jade Rabbit True Monarch possessed a captivating and alluring appearance, making it almost impossible to associate her with her true identity as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
As Meng Zhang entered, Jade Rabbit True Monarch blinked her alluring eyes, seemingly extending an invitation. But Meng Zhang dared not linger on her gaze and respectfully greeted both of them with a bow. They were senior Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, with profound cultivation bases and inscrutable powers.
