Sect Master's Immortal Journey-Chapter 722: Told

If there is any collusion between the Gu Yue Family in Great Wind City and the branches of the Dali Dynasty, this would be a hidden danger within the Jiuqu League sooner or later. Taiyi Sect, even if closely related to the Gu Yue Family, must draw a clear line on this matter of right and wrong early on to avoid being implicated.

While Meng Zhang was pondering these matters, suddenly, a thought crossed his mind. Considering the information that even Luo YeDaoist Master could obtain, there was no reason why sects like Azure Origin Sect and Jade Sword Sect wouldn't know about it. Gu Yue Family could stay peacefully in Great Wind City without being removed as internal spies by the Jade Sword Sect, which means there must be something she didn't know in between.

In front of an old friend, Meng Zhang didn't conceal her thoughts much. Luo YeDaoist Master, being from the Dark Alliance organization, had a special knack for reading people.

She roughly guessed Meng Zhang's thoughts and quickly explained, "There seems to be no close interaction between the various branches of the Gu Yue Family. The branch in Great Wind City has never colluded with the Dali Dynasty. They have always guarded their territory there and never engaged in any wrongdoing."

Though the Dark Alliance had strong intelligence capabilities and knew many deep secrets of the Cultivation World, Luo YeDaoist Master was only a high-ranking member in the organization, not truly at the top level. Her authority was limited, and she couldn't access all sorts of highly classified information freely.

Furthermore, Luo YeDaoist Master and her disciple Jue YingDaoist Master were not power-hungry individuals. In the Dark Alliance, they didn't actively seek power or aim to gain more authority. As Gold Core Daoist Masters, their status was decent, but their actual influence was limited, and they had access to only a moderate amount of resources.

Luo YeDaoist Master had never hidden any of this from Meng Zhang. Every time Meng Zhang sought her help, she and Jue YingDaoist Master had always gone out of their way to assist with all their heart. So far, Meng Zhang had greatly benefited from their assistance.

Meng Zhang speculated that there were deeper secrets within the Gu Yue Family. Although Luo YeDaoist Master couldn't provide further information, what she had just said was enough to make him cautious and act carefully.

After discussing the matters concerning the Gu Yue Family, Luo YeDaoist Master brought up another issue. This matter was an internal affair of the Dark Alliance, but it was closely related to Meng Zhang and the entire Jiuqu League.

Throughout its existence, the Dark Alliance operated in secrecy, participating in Cultivation World affairs through black markets and other clandestine organizations. The Dark Alliance respected the various dominant powers of the Cultivation World in each region and never directly engaged in or disrupted the ruling order.

Similarly, the various branches of the Dark Alliance did not actively align with other forces. However, the basic principles the Dark Alliance had adhered to were now facing serious challenges. Within the territory of the Dali Dynasty, the influence of the Dark Alliance still existed, with black markets operating in various locations.

The Dali Dynasty allowed the existence of the Dark Alliance's influence for its own purposes. The power of the Dark Alliance, especially its hidden strength, was highly coveted by the Dali Dynasty. Many years ago, the Dali Dynasty had established various connections with its internal Dark Alliance through various means, gradually infiltrating their influence into the organization.

Dark Alliance is a massive force with numerous branches, but the organization is bloated and unwieldy. Whether in terms of its organizational structure or the limited power at its core, Dark Alliance is destined to struggle to control each of its branches. Especially in recent years, the power of Dark Alliance's branches in various regions has grown significantly. Some remote branches have even shown faint signs of independence.

However, until now, no Dark Alliance branch has dared to openly declare independence. One reason is that all the branches fear the power at the core, especially the top experts of the Dark Alliance headquarters, who have the strength to sweep through any branch. Another reason is that each branch requires the reputation of Dark Alliance. With this reputation, they can gain numerous benefits and operate more conveniently.

Inside the various Dark Alliance branches, factions abound, making the situation exceedingly complex. The Dark Alliance branches within the territory of the Dali Dynasty have been completely infiltrated by the Dynasty. While they may not have an official affiliation, they are, in practice, entirely under the control of the Dali Dynasty, becoming a sharp blade in the Dynasty's hands.

Interestingly, for some reason, the Dark Alliance headquarters has not intervened in the situation. According to Luo YeDaoist Master's speculation, the headquarters might either be deceived by the branches and unaware of the true situation, or they have secretly reached an agreement with the Dali Dynasty, tacitly allowing this state of affairs to exist. Given the intelligence capabilities of the Dark Alliance headquarters, the first possibility seems unlikely.

The Dali Dynasty's influence over the Dark Alliance branches in its territory not only grants them more powerful dark forces but also enables them to infiltrate other Dark Alliance branches. It's evident that the expansion of the Dali Dynasty is directed towards the territory of the Jiuqu League.

Before launching a full-scale war against the Jiuqu League, the Dali Dynasty has already employed many means to penetrate the Jiuqu League's internal affairs and influence various aspects of it. According to Luo YeDaoist Master, some cultivation forces within the Jiuqu League have already established connections and even colluded with the Dali Dynasty.

Meng Zhang finds this situation unsurprising. In the Cultivation World, any cultivation force with some history and foundation knows the importance of leaving themselves a way out when facing a crisis. Even Taiyi Sect has placed hidden pieces like Maple Leaf Mountain City within the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle.

Though Taiyi Sect currently follows the Jade Sword Sect loyally, presenting the image of a faithful subordinate, when push comes to shove and they have no other choice for survival, Taiyi Sect would not hesitate to abandon the Jade Sword Sect.

Dali Dynasty has always held a hostile attitude towards cultivation sects and has even extinguished many of them during its rise to power. Even those cultivation sects that have allied with the Dali Dynasty, with a few exceptions, have not lived easy lives. The Dali Dynasty is extremely harsh toward the cultivation sects under its rule, demanding excessively, and at the slightest disagreement, they would annihilate the entire sect.

Dali Dynasty's reputation precedes it, and unless there is absolutely no other choice, hardly any cultivation sect would willingly choose to submit to the Dali Dynasty.
