Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Meng Zhang's attention is on another piece of information, which is the journey of the Jiuqu League delegation on the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle side.

Currently, Taiyi Sect is still making a living on the Jiuqu League's territory and naturally needs to pay enough attention to various major events of the Jiuqu League. The changes in the situation of the Jiuqu League and its surroundings will affect Taiyi Sect's living environment.

This time, Jiuqu League dispatched three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, leading the delegation to Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, attempting to establish contact with the power there and jointly resist the expanding Dali Dynasty.

According to the original plan of the Jiuqu League's high-level, the best scenario would be for Jiuqu League and Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle to form an alliance to jointly confront the Dali Dynasty. In the worst case, effective communication with the major forces in Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle is necessary to obtain some assistance from them.

Although the intelligence capabilities of Maple Leaf Mountain City are limited and unable to obtain specific details about the Jiuqu League delegation, the rumors circulating on the market seem to indicate that the results of the delegation's mission are not very promising.

It appears that the major forces in Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle are not very welcoming to the arrival of the Jiuqu League delegation. The delegation encountered obstacles everywhere and couldn't meet with the true top-level cultivators of Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle.

Even if certain forces treated the Jiuqu League delegation cordially out of respect for the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, they were not interested in further cooperation with the Jiuqu League.

Although Jiuqu League cultivators are unfamiliar with the environment there, the Four Seas Commercial Firm has been rooted in Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle for many years and wields considerable influence.

Despite attempting to communicate through the channels of the Four Seas Commercial Firm, the Jiuqu League still didn't make much progress in their mission.

The three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs do not have the luxury of wasting time here. Eventually, the Jiuqu League delegation left a few representatives behind to continue contacting and communicating with the major forces of Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle, while the majority of the delegation, led by the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, is preparing to return to the Jiuqu League.

Upon hearing this news, Meng Zhang temporarily put aside everything in Maple Leaf Mountain City and, together with Extreme Sword Spirit General, set off for Tiger Mountain City to rendezvous with the Jiuqu League delegation.

Meng Zhang has his own considerations for this extra step. Firstly, he plans to leverage Taiyi Sect's Sect Master's influence within the delegation to contact well-informed individuals and obtain the latest information about the mission.

Considering the threat posed by the Dali Dynasty to Jiuqu League, Taiyi Sect would also be affected. Any foresighted Jiuqu League cultivator would surely be concerned about matters related to this.

Secondly, Meng Zhang is boarding the Fourth Rank Cloud Boat of the delegation to return to Jiuqu League to avoid easily exposing Taiyi Sect's secret of possessing the Mother-Child Transmission Disc.

This secret might not be entirely unknown. During the previous battle between Taiyi Sect and the Sea Clan's army, they used the Mother-Child Transmission Disc to send reinforcements from Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, Hundred Grass Slope, to Red Rock Valley.

Although there was the protection of a Third Rank defense great formation, the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs might not have been able to see the specific situation inside Red Rock Valley clearly. However, Jin Li True Monarch is more familiar with Taiyi Sect's situation, and she might suspect the existence of a secret method of instantaneous transmission.

Jin Li True Monarch is a magnanimous person who wouldn't bother to pry into Taiyi Sect's secrets.

With the protection of Jin Li True Monarch, True Monarch Azure Mist also didn't delve deep into this matter at the time. Besides, there shouldn't be anyone else who could guess that Taiyi Sect possesses a means of instantaneous transmission.

The Mother-Child Transmission Disc is a true strategic tool that relates to Taiyi Sect's layout and troop movements. To protect this secret, Meng Zhang is willing to pay a significant price. Disciples of Taiyi Sect who were transported through the Mother-Child Transmission Disc were all placed under strict orders not to leak any information.

Similarly, the cultivators from the Hanhai Dao Alliance who used the Mother-Child Transmission Disc were also prohibited by Taiyi Sect disciples from disclosing anything about it. In all honesty, if it weren't for the fact that those cultivators from the Hanhai Dao Alliance fought for Taiyi Sect and suffered heavy casualties, Meng Zhang would have ordered them to be silenced.

However, fortunately, he still had certain boundaries in his heart, and these cultivators didn't know the specifics of the Mother-Child Transmission Disc, so he didn't issue such a cruel order.

No matter what, Taiyi Sect used various means and paid a considerable price to keep the secret of the Mother-Child Transmission Disc well protected. As the Sect Master, Meng Zhang is willing to endure a bit of inconvenience and delay to protect this secret.

After arriving in Tiger Mountain City with Extreme Sword Spirit General, Meng Zhang boarded the Fourth Rank Cloud Boat and set off on the journey back to Jiuqu League. Taking advantage of his status as a member of the delegation, Meng Zhang moved around on the Cloud Boat and finally had the nerve to approach Daoist Master Zhu Liangyu.

Zhu Liangyu had previously resolved a conflict between Meng Zhang and the Daoist Master Mountain Garden. Afterwards, he even received instructions from his master, True Monarch Profound Wind, not to get involved in the dispute between Yellow Lotus Sect and Meng Zhang. He was told to act as if he knew nothing about the dispute.

When Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General returned to the delegation on time, the Daoist Master Mountain Garden and others who had conflicts with Meng Zhang were still missing. Zhu Liangyu keenly sensed that something might be amiss, but he was unwilling to stir up trouble and pretended not to see this matter. He consoled himself, thinking that perhaps Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others missed the rendezvous with the delegation and found another way to return to Jiuqu League or had other matters to attend to in Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle.

When Meng Zhang took the initiative to approach him, Zhu Liangyu received him with a cold face. Fortunately, Meng Zhang didn't give him a hard time; he only inquired about some matters regarding the delegation's mission. These things weren't really earth-shattering secrets. Although the Jiuqu League's high-level didn't publicize them deliberately, capable cultivators would always find a way to know.

Zhu Liangyu didn't conceal anything and told Meng Zhang the truth. The results of the Jiuqu League delegation's mission were worse than the rumors. The major forces in Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle were very hostile towards the Jiuqu League. It was already good enough if they didn't become enemies, let alone forming an alliance with Jiuqu League.

The delegation encountered cold reception and obstacles everywhere. If it weren't for the presence of the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, the delegation might have suffered accidents by now. As for the reasons for this situation, no one in the Jiuqu League delegation knew. The level of animosity Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle showed towards Jiuqu League was beyond everyone's expectations.

As a member of Jiuqu League, Meng Zhang began to have a vague sense of unease. This feeling partly came from his Diviner's Spiritual Awareness and partly from analyzing the situation.
