Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 590: Aftermath
Zhenjun Qinglan left with peace of mind. He was not worried at all that after he left, the three of them would go against his will and start fighting again.
He has enough confidence in Qingyuan Sect and his own deterrent power.
Looking at the back of True Lord Qinglan flying further and further away, the remaining three people looked at each other, none of them interested in speaking.
True Lord Yue Feng glanced at True Lord Jin Li with an unkind expression, snorted coldly, and left like this.
On the other hand, True Lord Xuanfeng had no intention of continuing to embarrass True Lord Jin Li. After chatting with her for a few words, he said goodbye and left.
Zhenjun Yue Feng was unwilling to give in, and Zhenjun Jinli was equally unwilling.
If it weren't for the situation, she wouldn't be willing to let go of True Lord Yue Feng so easily.
However, after becoming a soul, she will live a long life, and she will have plenty of time to settle accounts with True Lord Yue Feng in the future.
A few days ago, when Gu Yue Huaidie was discussing with Zhenjun Jin Li, he pointed out the current situation.
Although True Lord Yue Feng and True Lord Xuanfeng are relatively marginalized figures in the Nine-Bend Alliance, they are the True Lords of the Soul of the Nine-Bend Alliance after all.
Unless Zhenjun Jinli escapes far away from the area near Jiuqu League, he will not be able to confront them head-on.
Gu Yue Huaidie made a suggestion to let Zhenjun Jin Li join the Jiuqu Alliance.
Anyway, True Lord Jin Li has no restrictions such as sects and families. After joining the Jiuqu Alliance, not only can he resolve the crisis from True Lord Yue Feng and True Lord Xuanfeng, but he also has many other benefits.
Zhenjun Jinli is not a person who is so stubborn that he cannot recognize the situation, and he is not willing to just run away in despair.
Gu Yue Huaidie's suggestion became a practical plan.
Zhenjun Jinli thought for a while, discussed with Meng Zhang for a long time, and after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, she accepted Gu Yue Huaidie's suggestion and agreed to join the Jiuqu Alliance.
Zhenjun Qinglan of Qingyuan Sect has always been the biggest backer behind Da Feng City. There is even a marriage relationship with the Lu family in charge of Da Feng City.
Dafeng City is one of the few important trading towns in the Jiuqu League, with a huge amount of wealth flowing through it. If there is no powerful person like Qinglan Zhenjun to look after him, a group of Jindan Zhenren alone will not be able to defend this foundation.
Of course, the Lu family and the Gu Yue family have never been short of offerings to True Lord Qinglan. True Lord Qinglan also received a large amount of cultivation resources from Gale City.
The various actions of True Lord Yue Feng have seriously damaged the interests of Da Feng City. The Lu family had already received a lot of eye drops from True Lord Qinglan.
In the Jiuqu Alliance, at least on the surface there are rules. It is hard for anyone to fault what True Lord Yue Feng did, and it is not easy for True Lord Qinglan to step forward rashly and interfere in the internal affairs of the Yellow Lotus Sect.
Even for Qingyuan Sect Yuanshen monks, it is a taboo to interfere in the internal affairs of other sects.
After Gu Yue Huaidie received Zhenjun Jinli’s reply, she contacted the Lu family and asked the Lu family to come forward to invite Zhenjun Qinglan and invite Zhenjun Jinli to join the Jiuqu Alliance.
True Lord Jin Li is also a True Lord of the Soul after all, so it is reciprocal to send a True Lord of the Soul from the Jiuqu Alliance to receive her.
Zhenjun Qinglan is a particular person. He has received so many benefits from Da Feng City on weekdays, but he still has to help when it is time to help.
Zhenjun Jinli has stayed around the Endless Sand Sea for so many years and is not a figure of unknown origin. With the Qingyuan Sect's method of gathering intelligence, True Lord Qinglan already had some understanding of True Lord Jin Li.
It’s not that True Lord Qinglan is required to fight to the death with other True Lords of Yuanshen, but that he is asked to invite True Lord Jinli to join the Jiuqu Alliance. This is not a difficult task.
Furthermore, joining the Jiuqu Alliance will bring many benefits to True Lord Qinglan.
Looking at the overall situation, Jiuqu League has faced increasing external pressure over the years and really needs to strengthen its strength.
A force as powerful as the Jiuqu Alliance cannot ignore the fighting power of a True Lord of the Soul.
What’s more important is that True Lord Qinglan came forward to invite True Lord Jinli to join the Jiuqu Alliance. In the future, True Lord Jinli will be regarded as a figure of his faction in the alliance, which will add some points to his faction. strength.
As for taking the opportunity to cause trouble for True Lord Yue Feng, it has become a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
To show his solemnity, True Lord Qinglan made a trip in person, which gave True Lord Jin Li a lot of face and also resolved the dispute between her and True Lord Yue Feng.
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, after True Lord Qinglan comes forward, at least on the surface, the two sides must cease fighting and cannot continue to fight.
Seeing True Lord Yue Feng and True Lord Xuanfeng leaving one after another, True Lord Jin Li also returned to the Taiyi Gate.
Joining the Jiuqu League is not a bad thing for her.
In the world of cultivation, even those as tyrannical as Lord Tianzhu still collude with the dark alliance. The lonely Jin Li Zhenjun joined the Jiuqu League and had a backer.
Of course, after enjoying the benefits, you also have to pay the price. In the future, she will inevitably serve for the Jiuqu Alliance.
In the Baicao Slope, the Jindan monks from the Gu Yue family and the Lu family are waiting for True Lord Jin Li.
This time Dafeng City used the matchmaker to form a relationship with Jin Li Zhenjun. In the future, among the Jiuqu League, Gale City will have an extra backer.
The monks from Gale City explained the internal situation of the Jiuqu Alliance to Jin Li in detail, especially some taboos.
Of course it will not be that simple for a True Lord of Yuanshen to join the Jiuqu Alliance.
After preparations are complete, Jin Li Zhenjun will go to the Jiuqu League, where there is still a lot of red tape waiting for her.
According to the wishes of True Lord Qinglan, a grand ceremony must be prepared to show that the Jiuqu Alliance attaches great importance to and welcomes True Lord Jinli.
Although the war has ceased, there is still a lot of aftermath work to be done on the Taiyimen side.
The invading monk army had already retreated and returned to the endless sand sea.
After learning that True Lord Jin Li had joined the Jiuqu Alliance, Master Xiaolian commanded his troops to retreat and restored the border with Taiyimen to the pre-war state. All the territory that was originally occupied was vomited out.
As for the Huangsha Ridge, the Feihong Sect has been destroyed, and the Fire Cloud Sect naturally accepts everything that has happened.
With the current situation of endless sand sea, the Yellow Lotus Sect’s Hedong branch occupies most of the territory including Feihong Mountain, and it is the most prosperous territory.
The Fire Cloud Sect occupies the area around Huangsha Ridge, which is a bit of a drink.
Zhenjun Yue Feng left in anger because of Zhenjun Jin Li's affairs, and did not interfere with the affairs of the Endless Sand Sea for the time being.
The war supervising monks from the Yellow Lotus Sect’s mountain branch also left the Endless Sand Sea one after another because the war was over.
Of course, the Hedong sub-altar is still under the control of True Lord Yue Feng. Not only does it have to hand over a large amount of offerings, but it also has to follow his orders.
Although Taiyi Gate suffered heavy losses, they managed to hold on to the gate and slowly regained their lost ground after the enemy retreated.
With the fall of Huangshaling, the Feihong Sect was wiped out.
Originally, Feihong Sect still had some low-level disciples stationed at Luochen Hill. But after the fall of Huangshaling, these disciples fled without fighting and fled far away from the endless sand sea.
Meng Zhang was very strategic in his actions. He did not let Taiyi Sect directly occupy Luochen Hill, but gave this place to Qiaoshou Sect.
In the eyes of the Jindan Sect, Luochenqiu is indeed a little barren. But Qiaoshou Sect was originally just a foundation-building sect. The only Jindan cultivator in the sect was not trained by the sect, but was a disciple of True Lord Jin Li.
Zhenjun Jin Li is also a person who misses his old relationship. Because of the death of Zhenren Fei Shi, he always felt that he owed the Feihong Sect a favor. She also promised in public that after achieving Yuanshen, she would take good care of the Feihong Sect.
But I really didn’t expect that after she became a soul, the Feihong Sect would be wiped out.
After so many years of training, Meng Zhang has become well versed in human relations and has become a good person.
After all, Feihong Sect was originally a large sect that ruled the endless sand sea, with many disciples. Even if the mountain gate is captured and massacred, some fish that have slipped through the net can still be found.
Meng Zhang spent a lot of effort to find some Feihong Sect disciples who were living outside. They found a second-level spiritual vein and a blank territory in Yaofeng Gobi, allowing them to rebuild the Feihong Sect.
Survival and death in the world of cultivation can be regarded as a benevolent thing no matter what. Meng Zhang's generosity fully demonstrates Taiyi Sect's demeanor as a righteous sect.
After the reconstruction, the Feihong Sect naturally joined the Hanhai Dao League and became a member of the Taiyi Sect.
Of course, Meng Zhang did this not just out of good intentions, but also for other considerations.
Putting Feihong Sect, the former overlord of the endless sand sea, under your nose, you can monitor its movements at any time, and you can also use this to warn the Taiyi Sect and let them know what will happen after the sect declines. Even the dominant sect would still fall to this level.
More importantly, doing so fully took care of Jin Li Zhenjun's mood.
Zhenjun Jinli has become the soul, and the Taiyi Sect needs her care to survive and develop under her wings.
Back then, Meng Zhang and the others accompanied True Lord Jin Li into the small world of the Zijin Sect and faced True Lord Zhu Zi's distraction. True Lord Jin Li had promised in advance that after she broke through to the Yuanshen stage, she would definitely protect the Taiyi Sect.
Jin Li Zhenjun is a person who keeps her word, and Meng Zhang also believes in her promise. But Taiyi Sect can never completely count on a promise.
If there is an opportunity to please her, make her feel happy, and make her think better about her family, why not do this kind of thing?
Something like affection will become weaker and weaker as time goes by. In addition to constantly maintaining a relationship with her, Meng Zhang also had to find ways to bind both parties with interests.
If Taiyi Sect only asks for things without giving anything in return, Jin Li Zhenjun will inevitably have some thoughts after a long time.
The Qiaoshou Sect has always been loyal to the Taiyi Sect, but this war also suffered heavy losses, with almost all of its elite members lost.
Giving Luochen Qiu to Qiaoshou Sect can not only reward Qiaoshou Sect for its contribution and efforts, but also allow Zhenjun Jinli to acquiesce in Taiyi Sect’s handling of Feihong Sect.
As the newly promoted True Lord Yuanshen, True Lord Jin Li may not be able to obtain a third-level spiritual vein for the use of his disciple Jin Qiaoer.
There is only one Golden Elixir Master in Qiaoshou Sect, Jin Qiaoer, and Luochen Qiu is enough for her practice.
After solving the problems of Feihong Sect and Qiaoshou Sect, the remaining internal affairs of the sects, as well as the Hanhai Dao Alliance, have become very simple.
Everything has its own rules to follow, and it is nothing more than rewards based on merit and support and comfort. Meng Zhang ignored the specific details and left them to his eldest disciple Niu Dawei to handle.
The army of monks led by Master Xiaolian was busy besieging Baicao Slope and did not bother to attack cities and plunder lands everywhere. Therefore, Yaofeng Gobi's territory has basically not suffered much damage.
The foundation is still there, even if the monks suffer a greater casualty, as long as there is enough time, they can still slowly recover.
The golden elixir monks in Gale City saw that the situation here was slowly stabilizing, and they were sure that there would be no new changes, so they said goodbye and left.
The Taiyi sect sent them off warmly, and Meng Zhang was extremely grateful to them.
After experiencing such twists and turns, within the Jiuqu League, Taiyi Sect and Hanhai Dao League were regarded as members of the Gale City group.
Zhenjun Jin Li has been staying in Baicao Slope, watching Meng Zhang handle various aftermath matters.
Meng Zhang was thoughtful and thorough, which made True Lord Jin Li very satisfied.
Zhenjun Jinli has always been impatient to deal with various complicated mundane affairs. The experience of working under Zhenjun Tianzhu still makes her feel bored.
Low-level monks need the care of high-level monks, and high-level monks also need low-level monks to work for themselves.
There is no fourth-level spiritual energy in this world. If True Lord Yuanshen wants to absorb enough spiritual energy, he must first go to the Nine Heavens to collect the essence of the Nine Heavens, and secondly, go to the void outside the territory to find inspiration.
Zhenjun Jinli cultivates in the small world of the Zijin Sect, consuming the essence of the Nine Heavens stored in her body.
These Nine Heavens Essence are not only her own savings, but also the legacy left by her master and the gift from True Lord Tianzhu before his death.
When she broke through the Yuan Shen stage, most of these nine days of essence were consumed.
The True Lord of Yuanshen is not an immortal who does not eat the fireworks of the world. He also has a great demand for external things.
After Zhenjun Jinli breaks through to the realm of Yuanshen, he will consume more of the essence of the Nine Heavens.
Of course it is not possible to just sit back and have nothing in sight. After his cultivation is completely stable, Jin Li Zhenjun will also go to the Nine Heavens to collect the essence of the Nine Heavens.
The life of True Lord Yuanshen is long, but there are also many things that consume time. A retreat and a trip can easily consume tens or even hundreds of years.
There are many monks from Taiyi Sect working for her and collecting various resources for her, which can greatly save her time.
Maybe Jin Li Zhenjun is not aware of this yet. Once her interests are completely connected with those of the Taiyi Sect, she will know that she and the Taiyi Sect need each other, and both will benefit from their cooperation.
In his spare time while dealing with various affairs, Meng Zhang also took the initiative to meet with True Lord Jin Li many times. When she was in a good mood, he would make some insinuations and ask about her experience in breaking through the Yuan Shen stage.
The Dharma should not be taught lightly, and the experience and tips for breaking through the Yuan Shen stage are the most core secrets in any practicing sect. Loose cultivators regard it as a treasure and will never leak it.
Zhenjun Jin Li has been friends with Meng Zhang for many years and is very optimistic about him. But when this level of confidentiality is involved, there is no human kindness to talk about.
Zhenjun Jin Li was still concerned about Meng Zhang’s face and did not refuse bluntly. Rather, the words are vague and some general principles are explained. Then he slowly changed the topic and talked about other things.
Meng Zhang is a well-informed and knowledgeable person. He does not stalk him, but gives up when he sees fit.
Zhenjun Jinli did not stay in Baicao Slope for too long before returning to the small world of Zijin Sect.
It was there that she broke through the Yuanshen stage, so she regarded this place as her blessed place.
Zhenjun Jinli decided to live in that place for a long time in the future and use it as his permanent dojo.
Since the truce, not only has True Lord Yue Feng not continued to come to entangle, the Hedong Branch and the Huoyun Sect have also been honest and have not had any disputes with the Taiyi Sect.
True Lord Jin Li is practicing in seclusion in a small world, practicing various magical powers, and mastering the unique methods of True Lord Yuanshen.
The Taiyimen side also ushered in a good time of peaceful development.
After a life-and-death battle, facing a desperate situation, and suddenly getting a turn for the better, Meng Zhang was deeply moved.
He has been reciting Taoist scriptures and comprehending Taoist scriptures for many years, and his spiritual awareness has become increasingly sharp.
Shortly after Jin Li Zhenjun left, he also put down all his affairs and began to practice in seclusion in order to achieve a breakthrough.
There are many examples in the world of cultivation of people who have experienced life-and-death battles, made breakthroughs before the battle, or made breakthroughs afterward.
Shortly after Meng Zhang went into retreat, some monks from Taiyi Sect also went into retreat one after another.
Zheng Chao, the leader of the war hall who played a major role in the war and relied on the power of the mountain guard formation to defeat the Jindan monks, was seriously injured and dying at the end of the war.
Meng Zhang did not hesitate to take out the most precious healing elixir in the warehouse, and several Jindan masters took turns to help, which saved his life.
Seeing that Zheng Chao has already damaged his foundation, it is difficult for the Ether Yi Sect to provide effective treatment with its current methods. Meng Zhang shamelessly begged True Lord Jin Li to take action, thus saving Zheng Chao's cultivation.
Zheng Chao slowly recuperated from his injuries in the sect. When his injuries were about to recover, he was moved. He immediately ignored his injuries and began to retreat in order to complete the goal that he failed to complete in the last retreat and break through to the golden elixir stage. .
Zheng Chao did not stay in seclusion for long this time, but after practicing in seclusion for eight years, he formed a golden elixir and successfully came out of seclusion.
Taiyi Sect has once again added a Jindan Zhenren, and its strength has greatly increased.
Meng Zhang spent eleven years in seclusion before finally coming out.
After leaving seclusion, Meng Zhang’s cultivation reached the late stage of Jindan.
The masters of the late Golden Core stage are the most powerful among the Golden Core monks.
Zhenjun Yue Feng has not set foot in this place since he left the Endless Sand Sea last time. However, his control over the endless sand sea and the Hedong Branch of the Yellow Lotus Sect has not weakened at all.
Across the endless sand sea, the Yellow Lotus Sect’s Hedong Branch and the Fire Cloud Sect have completely cut off business ties with Gale City.
The caravans setting out from the Endless Sand Sea would rather take a long detour and lose a lot of profits, so they would bypass Gale City and go to the territory of the Yellow Lotus Sect's mountain branch for trade.
Although Hedong Branch is a neighbor of Taiyimen, the two families have never interacted with each other, let alone business contacts.
Both sides intentionally or unintentionally shrank the border line back, and asked the reduced patrol teams to try not to get close to the border line.
The two sides had a blood feud in the last war, but neither side is willing to start the war lightly now, or even to break out into a conflict.
The two sides are in a state of cold war, but they both restrain their respective disciples not to provoke the other side.
True Lord Xuanfeng has no intention of continuing to hate True Lord Jin Li, but he will not rush to make friends with him.
On the surface, the Huoyun Sect’s attitude toward Taiyi Sect is the same as that of the Huanglian Sect’s Hedong Branch. But privately, small groups of monks secretly communicated between the Huoyun Sect and Taiyi Sect from time to time.
These monks are members of the smuggling caravan, conducting smuggling transactions between the two forces.
The Hedong branch played a major role in the last war and suffered the greatest losses. After the war, it is natural to have the largest share of spoils.
Zhenren Chiyan and other senior leaders of the Fire Cloud Sect accepted this arrangement without objection because they were much weaker.
But afterward, seeing that the Hedong branch had the richest trophies and grabbed a lot of various cultivation materials, they would inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts.
As for the Jiuqu League, the sphere of influence has basically been solidified, and it is difficult for the Fire Cloud Sect to obtain more benefits.
Of course, the top management of the sect attaches great importance to the newly occupied territory on the Endless Sand Sea, viewing it as a good opportunity for the sect to rise and reach a higher level.
The Fire Cloud Sect no longer has the mentality of just grabbing a handful and running away, but regards it as a foundation and manages it well in order to obtain long-term benefits.
Unfortunately, the richest area in the endless sand sea is the area near Feihong Mountain. It is firmly controlled by the Hedong Branch of the Yellow Lotus Sect. The Fire Cloud Sect cannot get involved at all and can only secretly covet it.
What's even more egregious is that due to the request of True Lord Yue Feng, the cultivation resources obtained by the Fire Cloud Sect in the Endless Sand Sea need to be sent to the territory of the Huanglian Sect's mountain branch for trading.
This caused the Fire Cloud Sect to lose a large amount of profits out of thin air, and did not receive any benefits.
Zhenren Chiyan went to Zhenjun Xuanfeng to complain to Zhenjun through Zhu Liangyu.
But True Lord Xuanfeng knew that this was related to a big plan of True Lord Yue Feng, and was unwilling to offend True Lord Yue Feng over a trivial matter of the Huoyun Sect, so he did not interfere in the matter.
The area near Huangsha Ridge was the original territory of Feihong Sect. In the endless sand sea, it can't be said to be rich.
In addition to developing this territory, the Fire Cloud Sect also thought of other ways to obtain more profits.
On the one hand, the Fire Cloud Sect wants to restore the original trade exchanges between Feihong Sect and Yuantu Prairie.
But as a newcomer, there was no way out, so this matter did not go smoothly. In a short period of time, the trade with the prairie not only failed to bring benefits to the Fire Cloud Sect, but actually caused the Fire Cloud Sect to lose a lot of money.
On the other hand, the Huoyun Sect secretly made deals with Taiyi Sect through smuggling caravans.
The two families have had many wars, and their hatred is as deep as the sea. But profitable business can transcend hatred.
The territory Taiyi Sect owns in the Endless Sand Sea is very barren, and many of the special resources of the Endless Sand Sea are not produced there.
The Fire Cloud Sect first sent the special resources in their own territory to Taiyi Gate through smuggling caravans.
As the business grew bigger and bigger, he gradually began to make plans to expand his business to the Hedong branch.
The Hedong branch is very concerned about the boundary line with Dafeng City, but it doesn't care much about the boundary line with the Fire Cloud Sect.
The vassal forces on the territory of the Hedong Branch, greedy for huge profits, secretly transported various cultivation resources to the territory of the Huoyun Sect, passed the boundary between the Huoyun Sect and the Taiyi Sect, and entered the Taiyi Sect. The land was eventually sent to Gale City.
