CHAPTER 770: SEEKING HELP

Meng Zhang suddenly recalled that Gu Yue Huaidie from the Gu Yue Family had mentioned before that many cultivation forces had secretly contacted the Dali Dynasty through the Gu Yue Family's connections, and even the Jade Sword Sect seemed to be involved.

Initially, Meng Zhang had intended to ask for help from the Gu Yue Family to contact the Dali Dynasty. However, after hearing Gu Yue Huaidie's words, he became cautious and suspected that the Jade Sword Sect might be trying to lure out their enemies.

Now, a group of cultivation forces had been accused of colluding with the Dali Dynasty and eliminated, while the Gu Yue Family, which controlled Great Wind City, remained unscathed. It seemed that his initial speculation was quite accurate.

Since his own faction was not involved in these matters, Meng Zhang put them aside and began focusing on other things.

With more and more cultivators from the Jiuqu League and the Dali Dynasty gathering around the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain, a large-scale decisive battle seemed imminent.

Jade Sword Sect issued a conscription order, strengthening their recruitment efforts among various cultivation forces in the rear.

Although Meng Zhang was still in seclusion recovering from his injuries, both the Taiyi Sect and the Hanhai Alliance had already dispatched many cultivators to form elite teams in response to Jade Sword Sect's conscription.

Fortunately, the Taiyi Sect was located in the far rear, and the conscripted cultivators were mainly responsible for transporting supplies and maintaining the rear order. Only a small part of them were directly sent to the frontlines.

The Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were the main force in the upcoming major battle. Given the disadvantaged position of the Jiuqu League, they had to urgently mobilize the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs from the rear to the frontlines.

Meng Zhang also received an urgent order, and his time was running out.

Before the outbreak of the major battle, regardless of his state of recovery, he had to go to the frontlines to participate in the war.

In both public and private matters, Meng Zhang couldn't back down.

He had to use some secret techniques, disregarding potential risks, to accelerate his own recovery.

The Jiuqu League was facing a life-and-death crisis, and Jade Sword Sect was also going all out, trying to squeeze the potential of the Jiuqu League.

Jade Sword Sect was making efforts to bribe some Primordial Spirit True Monarchs among the loose cultivators, hoping to get them to join their camp.

Even some traditionally neutral sects and families like Flawless Valley and the Shangguan family adhered to the agreement with the Jiuqu League's predecessors and dispatched elite cultivators to the frontline to confront the Dali Dynasty.

On the side of the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain, the forces of both sides were becoming stronger, and the situation was getting increasingly tense.

However, neither side rushed into war.

As the Jiuqu League was already at a disadvantage, they naturally wanted to delay the time as much as possible, mobilizing forces from all over, and even seeking help from the outside world to obtain reinforcements.

As for the Dali Dynasty, their military strategy had always been to refrain from action until they had gathered enough strength. They would not act rashly without absolute certainty.

Meng Zhang's injuries were rapidly improving, and he tried to maintain contact with several familiar friends.

The Dark Alliance's branch had openly sided with the Jade Sword Sect, declaring their opposition to the Dali Dynasty.

Red Pig True Monarch and others had also gathered a group of cultivators to join the battle at the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain.

The Gu Yue Family in Great Wind City had long been mobilized to transport supplies and maintain order in the northern region of the Jiuqu League, ensuring stability in the rear.

Meng Zhang received a personal letter from Elder Beast Fury of the Beast King Mountain.

Elder Beast Fury had already led a group of cultivators to the Yellow Lotus Holy Mountain.

He was already injured and getting old.

Faced with this major battle, he had a premonition of the ominous outcome.

In his letter to Meng Zhang, he asked that if anything happened to him on the battlefield, he requested Meng Zhang, out of their friendship, to take care of the Beast King Mountain.

This kind of letter was not only sent to Meng Zhang but also to every Primordial Spirit True Monarch with whom he had a connection.

Meng Zhang deeply understood Elder Beast Fury's feelings and could empathize with him.

Soon after, he would also set foot on the unpredictable battlefield of life and death. He also had a Taiyi Sect that worried him.

The Jade Sword Sect did not forget about Jin LiTrue Monarch, who had been in seclusion in the Purple Gold Sect's small world.

Previously, Jin LiTrue Monarch had been defeated by Fei GuoTrue Monarch, which led her to resign from her position in the higher echelons of the Jiuqu League. However, she remained a member of the Jiuqu League and still had her responsibilities to shoulder.

The envoys sent by the Jade Sword Sect to Mirage Desert were also unable to contact Jin LiTrue Monarch.

It seemed that she had completely closed off that small world using some kind of technique, cutting off all connections with the outside world.

Unless several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs were dispatched, preferably those well-versed in the Space Grand Dao, joining forces might forcefully open a passage to that small world.

Given the current situation, the Jade Sword Sect couldn't possibly achieve this.

The front-line situation was so tense; where could they spare a few Primordial Spirit True Monarchs?

The envoys of the Jade Sword Sect left Mirage Desert in anger.

Before departing, they left harsh words: if Jin LiTrue Monarch had planned this beforehand and intentionally avoided battle, the Jade Sword Sect would never spare her.

Meng Zhang wanted to resolve the situation but didn't know where to start.

This Jin LiTrue Monarch was really going too far; how could she cause such trouble after going into seclusion?

Although for a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, going into closed-door cultivation for hundreds of years was not a big deal in terms of lifespan. However, she had coincidentally chosen this time when the Dali Dynasty was invading on a large scale, and now she couldn't be reached. No wonder the envoys of the Jade Sword Sect were unhappy.

Meng Zhang had no good way to handle this; he could only wait until Jin LiTrue Monarch came out of seclusion to address the issue.

In terms of lifespan, Meng Zhang could definitely afford to wait.

Meng Zhang's injuries had finally healed, and just as he was preparing to head to the front line, the Fire Cloud Sect's Sect Master, Daoist Master Firecloud, came to visit.

With Meng Zhang's current identity, not anyone could meet him at their will. Even the Senior Disciple of the Sect Master, Niu Dawei, could only see him reluctantly.

Daoist Master Firecloud had come this time to seek shelter from the Taiyi Sect.

True Monarch Profound Wind, who had always been the backing of the Fire Cloud Sect, had made a decision some time ago and joined the Dali Dynasty.

Fire Cloud Sect also wanted to follow True Monarch Profound Wind and join the Dali Dynasty. However, Fire Cloud Sect's sect gate and territory were in the north of the Jiuqu League, and it wasn't feasible to move such a large sect with so many disciples.

The bloody massacre carried out by the Jade Sword Sect's Xing JianTrue Monarch was still fresh in their minds, and the Fire Cloud Sect didn't want to test the Jade Sword Sect's tolerance.

So, Daoist Master Firecloud came to see Meng Zhang and requested him to speak on behalf of the Fire Cloud Sect to the Jade Sword Sect.

In return, Fire Cloud Sect offered to become a vassal of the Taiyi Sect, pledging allegiance to Taiyi Sect, just as they had obeyed True Monarch Profound Wind before.

There had been many grudges and grievances between Fire Cloud Sect and Taiyi Sect in the past.

Back when Fire Cloud Sect was a Gold Core sect threatening the Endless Sea of Sand, Taiyi Sect was just a small insignificant sect.

Unexpectedly, just a few hundred years later, Fire Cloud Sect had no choice but to kneel before Taiyi Sect and seek its protection as Taiyi Sect had grown to a level where it was beyond their reach.
