Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 724: Unexpected
When Gu Yue Huaidie saw Meng Zhang, she felt very complicated.
When the two met for the first time, Meng Zhang was still a young monk in the foundation building stage. Gu Yue Huaidie deliberately took care of Meng Zhang because of her friendship with the seniors of the rebuilt Taiyi Sect.
She never imagined that the juniors in the Foundation Establishment stage that she looked down on back then would one day become a being that she needed to look up to.
Over the years, Gu Yue Huaidie has made great progress in her cultivation, and is now a monk in the late Golden Core stage. But this bit of progress is nothing to mention in front of Meng Zhang.
In the world of cultivation, the most important thing is to respect the strong. Although Gu Yue Huaidie was Meng Zhang's elder, she still showed a very humble attitude in front of a True Lord of Yuanshen and paid homage to Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang did not accept Gu Yue Huaidie's courtesy and turned sideways with a warm smile on his face.
He did not continue to call the other person senior. Instead, he called him "Huaidie Zhenren" as a peer.
The place where the two met was a secret stronghold of the Gu Yue family outside Gale City.
This place is off the beaten path, and generally no one will bother you.
No matter what the relationship between the two was before, Meng Zhang is now the True Lord of Yuanshen and is a first-class big shot in the entire Jiuqu League.
When Gu Yue Huaidie faced Meng Zhang, it was unavoidable to be cautious. The relationship between the two may never be the same again.
Meng Zhang lowered his profile and chatted with Gu Yue Huaidie for a while, reminiscing about old times. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost settled, I slowly started to get to the point.
Meng Zhang pretended to be casual and mentioned casually that there was also a Gu Yue family in the Dali Dynasty, which seemed to be highly regarded by the royal family of the Dali Dynasty.
Everyone’s surname is Gu Yue. I wonder if the Gu Yue family in Dafeng City is related to the Gu Yue family in Dali Dynasty.
Gu Yue Huaidie has faced the questions raised by Meng Zhang many times.
Whether it was the relationship between Taiyi Sect and the Gu Yue family or Meng Zhang's current cultivation level, it was difficult for her to hide this issue.
Although the core secrets of the Gu Yue family are difficult to disclose to outsiders, Meng Zhang can know some ordinary inside information.
Gu Yue Huaidie slowly began to tell Meng Zhang.
The Gu Yue family has many branches and is widely distributed. From the Middle Earth Continent all the way to the Jiuqu League, there are branches of the Gu Yue family.
There is a strong competitive relationship between the various branches of the Gu Yue family. The relationship between some branches is even worse than that of enemies.
In the world of cultivation, the various branches of the Gu Yue family do have their own masters.
But these branches will never collude with each other and betray their respective masters.
The Gu Yue family still has a good reputation in this regard.
The branch of the Gu Yue family in Dafeng City and the branch in the Dali Dynasty have no contact or collusion with each other. Of course, there is no grudge between the two parties.
If both parties want to communicate, as long as one party is willing to bow his head first, the other party will not deliberately make things difficult, and may even provide some conveniences because of their common origin.
The branch that Gu Yue Huaidie belongs to has firmly maintained its position for many years and has always stood firmly on the side of the Jiuqu League.
This situation has not changed even after the Dali Dynasty rose and became the number one enemy of the Jiuqu Alliance.
The consistent style in the world of cultivation is to kill three thousand by mistake rather than let one go. After knowing that there was also a Gu Yue family under the Dali Dynasty, the top leaders of the Jiuqu Alliance would restrict and strictly guard the Gu Yue family even if they did not immediately eliminate them.
However, precisely because the Dali Dynasty was too powerful, the Jiuqu Alliance did not take any action against the Gu Yue family.
Even if there is no contact between different branches of the Gu Yue family, there are still ways to connect.
The branch where Gu Yue Huaidie is located has a more or less close relationship with the branch from the Dali Dynasty.
If we can get through the branch of the Gu Yue family here and catch up with the branch of the Dali Dynasty, it will be a shortcut to contact the senior officials of the Dali Dynasty.
Facing the prestigious Dali Dynasty, the Jiuqu Alliance has a low chance of winning.
Not to mention ordinary forces starting to look for a way out, even those major sects also have such thoughts.
Under this situation, the Gu Yue family in Gale City not only has great utilization value, but also cannot be offended rashly.
Listening to what Gu Yue Huadie said, Meng Zhang had a better understanding of the situation of the Gu Yue family.
The Jade Sword Sect has long advocated an all-out war with the Dali Dynasty and is the most determined militant faction within the Jiuqu Alliance. They even had to break with their millennium allies because of their different stances.
The Taiyi Sect now belongs to the Jade Sword Sect’s camp, so it is not appropriate to get too close to the Gu Yue family, lest others doubt the Taiyi Sect’s position.
In front of Gu Yue Huaidie, Meng Zhang did not hide these thoughts and spoke them out casually.
After hearing Meng Zhang's words, Gu Yue Huaidie couldn't help laughing. What she laughed at was that Meng Zhang was too naive, not experienced enough, and didn't know enough about the intrigues in the world of cultivation.
However, as soon as she laughed a few times, Gu Yue Huaidie stopped abruptly.
Now that Meng Zhang is the True Lord of Yuanshen, he is not something he can make fun of.
If it were another Jindan Daoist who dared to be presumptuous in front of Yuanshen Zhenjun, he would be slapped to death without any injustice.
Meng Zhang is not a small-minded person, and he has not long since achieved Yuan Shen, so he has not yet adapted to the change in status. His attitude towards acquaintances such as Gu Yue Huaidie is still the same as before.
He saw Gu Yue Huaidie laughing, and instead of blaming the other party, he cast a questioning look.
There were some things that Gu Yue Huaidie was not prepared to reveal.
First of all, she is not the kind of person who talks a lot and is very capable of keeping secrets.
Secondly, revealing secrets at will will bring disaster to yourself and the Gu Yue family.
However, she remembered the time when she first met Meng Zhang.
At that time, she used the secret technique to calculate Meng Zhang, but she was unable to calculate any results.
She instinctively felt that Meng Zhang was extraordinary and was carrying a big secret.
Otherwise, she would not take care of Meng Zhang so deliberately just because of her friendship with the ancestors of the Taiyi Sect.
Later, she entered the endless sand sea and had a pleasant cooperation with Meng Zhang.
Although due to changes in the situation, the relationship between the Gu Yue family and the Taiyi Sect has gone back and forth. But from the beginning to the end, Gu Yue Huaidie carefully maintained her relationship with Meng Zhang and was never willing to offend him.
Although I have always been optimistic about Meng Zhang, Meng Zhang always comes up against expectations and brings surprises again and again.
Now that Meng Zhang has become the True Lord of Yuanshen, it is worthy of Gu Yue Huaidie’s heavy investment in him.
Gu Yue Huaidie thought for a while before revealing the inside story to Meng Zhang.
In fact, some cultivation forces within the Jiuqu League who knew the origin of the Gu Yue family had contacted the Gu Yue family either explicitly or covertly, and inquired about the various branches of the Gu Yue family, especially the Da Feng City branch and the Dali Dynasty. relationships between branches.
They hinted intentionally or unintentionally that they hoped to establish contact and have good communication between the Dafeng City branch and the Dali Dynasty branch.
If the situation develops to a certain extent, they may need to contact the Gu Yue family of the Dali Dynasty through the Gu Yue family of Dafeng City to leave a retreat for the Dali Dynasty.
Among these cultivation forces who want to reserve a retreat include the leaders of the Jiuqu Alliance.
Meng Zhang responded casually, thinking that Gu Yue Huaidie was talking about the Qing Yuan Sect.
But what Gu Yue Huaidie said shocked Meng Zhang and he couldn't believe it.
The one who wants to contact the Dali Dynasty through the Gu Yue family is actually the Jade Sword Sect, which has always been the most determined main war sect.
If he had known that Gu Yue Huaidie would not deceive him at this time, Meng Zhang would have doubted her intentions.
That was the Jade Sword Sect, which had been clamoring for an all-out war with the Dali Dynasty many years ago.
There are many cunning people among sword cultivators, but in general, sword cultivators can still be consistent on the surface. Therefore, in the world of cultivation, although sword cultivators are often called sword madmen, their credibility is much better than that of other cultivators.
When did these thick-browed swordsmen become so cunning and want to collude with the enemy? Meng Zhang couldn't help but spit out the Three-Character Sutra.
Under the strong request of the Jade Sword Sect, the Gu Yue family in Dafeng City will try to contact the branch of the Dali Dynasty. However, the Gu Yue family here will not bow to other branches easily.
Although Gu Yue Huaidie did not explain clearly what the various branches of the Gu Yue family were fighting over.
But she told Meng Zhang that this kind of competition is very important. If it was not a last resort and faced with the crisis of the family's demise, they would not voluntarily bow to other branches and withdraw from the competition.
Therefore, before the Jiuqu Alliance was defeated by the Dali Dynasty and completely defeated, the Gu Yue family in Gale City was a member of the Jiuqu Alliance and would never betray them.
Meng Zhang’s other mind could not read Gu Yue Huaidie’s thoughts. The other party not only mastered the superb secret technique of locking the heart, but he was also a secret master.
However, based on his personal feelings, Gu Yue Huaidie probably didn't lie.
Perhaps, in order to express the family's position and gain Meng Zhang's trust, Gu Yue Huaidie exaggerated in her words. But overall, she is quite believable.
After hearing what Gu Yue Huaidie said, Meng Zhang gave up his original plan.
He originally wanted the Gu Yue family to replace the Lu family and take complete control of Gale City.
But since the Gu Yue family involves so many cultivation forces, even the Jade Sword Sect has to contact the Dali Dynasty through the Gu Yue family. If the Gu Yue family were to replace the Lu family, the movement would be too big.
The Gu Yue family should keep a low profile now and avoid attracting too much attention.
However, we have already arrived, and the two parties had a good chat. Meng Zhang did not conceal his purpose of coming, but stated his original plan.
What Meng Zhang didn't expect was that Gu Yue Huaidie would be very positive after hearing Meng Zhang's plan.
Gu Yue Huaidie clearly told Meng Zhang that the Gu Yue family was very interested in moving to the next level.
A major change in the Jiuqu Alliance is imminent, and the Gu Yue family needs to increase its strength to adapt to the situation. If they can completely control Gale City, the Gu Yue family will have an extra bargaining chip in the future.
As for Meng Zhang’s worry that being too eye-catching would attract the interference of True Lord Qinglan, Gu Yue Huaidie also had his own excuse.
Many cultivation forces in the Jiuqu Alliance want to contact the Dali Dynasty through the Gu Yue family to reserve an escape route for themselves.
When someone asks for something, they will most likely acquiesce to the Gu Yue family's actions.
As for True Lord Qinglan of Qingyuan Sect, even if he wanted to interfere, the Jade Sword Sect would not allow him to do so. Even if the Jade Sword Sect doesn't take action, Meng Zhang should be able to block True Lord Qinglan.
Being able to deal with the two True Lords of the Soul in the New Beast King Mountain, Meng Zhang should be considered a master among the True Lords of the Soul.
When Gu Yue Huaidie talked about this matter, she praised Meng Zhang very much.
There are many understanding people in the world of cultivation.
The death of the two True Lords of the New Beast King Mountain, and the annexation of the New Beast King Mountain by the Old Beast King Mountain. During this period, Meng Zhang deliberately concealed his whereabouts and never appeared in public.
However, as the Taiyi Sect was the beneficiary of these events, a knowledgeable person can deduce the role Meng Zhang played in them after a little analysis of Meng Zhang.
What's more, the origins of the Gu Yue family are mysterious, they have some unknown powers, and they have some secret information, which is normal.
Since Gu Yue Huaidie said that there is no problem in replacing the Lu family, Meng Zhang naturally hopes that the Gu Yue family will take action quickly.
Meng Zhang has never been a magnanimous person, let alone interests. Since the Lu family participated in the conspiracy of the two soul masters of New Beast King Mountain back then, whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally, find Shuyuan www. Whether zhaoshuyuan.com knew it or not, Meng Zhang would not let them go.
Meng Zhang supported the Gu Yue family to replace the Lu family. Gu Yue Huaidie was very happy and discussed with Meng Zhang how to act.
From Gu Yue Huaidie's words, Meng Zhang could clearly feel that the Gu Yue family had already had various plans against the Lu family.
It seems that the Gu Yue family has long been dissatisfied with its status as the second oldest child in ten thousand years.
For a long time, the Gu Yue family and the Lu family have been happily cooperating with each other to keep Dafeng City in order.
Who would have thought that the Gu Yue family had long had different ambitions and wanted to replace the Lu family.
The Lu family is powerful and has the backing of True Lord Qinglan. Of course it could not be shaken before.
But now that Meng Zhang, the True Lord of Yuanshen, has directly intervened, the Gu Yue family will naturally seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and fight hard.
As long as True Lord Qinglan does not intervene, Meng Zhang will not take action directly. However, he can provide all aspects of help to the Gu Yue family.
Meng Zhang only discussed a general idea with Gu Yue Huaidie. As for the specific details of the operation, the Gu Yue family and the Taiyi Sect monks need to discuss it slowly and in detail.
Originally, after hearing that the Jade Sword Sect wanted to connect with the Dali Dynasty through the Gu Yue family, Meng Zhang had the same idea in his mind, hoping that the Gu Yue family could help the Taiyi Sect contact Dali. Dynasty.
Anyway, with so many sects having different aspirations and actively leaving a way out for themselves, it’s not a big deal to have one more Taiyi sect.
But when the words were about to come out, Meng Zhang instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Although he didn't understand what the problem was for the time being, he still swallowed the unspoken words.
This matter is not urgent. There will be opportunities in the future. It is better to consider it carefully before acting slowly.
