Sect Master's Immortal Journey-Chapter 723: Proposition

But when it truly comes to a life-and-death situation, with no other choices left, many cultivation sects would bow their heads for the sake of survival. Comparatively, instead of being directly exterminated, they might choose to seek refuge with the Dali Dynasty and endure it for a while, which is also an acceptable option.

As the Dali Dynasty's military forces are at their peak, having just defeated the Three Sects Alliance, the Jiuqu League is facing internal divisions at this critical moment. In contrast, regardless of the relative strengths of the two sides, the state of the Jiuqu League gives them a lower chance of victory.

If possible, Meng Zhang would secretly establish a connection with the Dali Dynasty, leaving a path for the Taiyi Sect to retreat. However, this idea has been kept deep in his heart and hasn't been revealed to anyone.

Currently, Taiyi Sect is still under the protection of Jade Sword Sect. If they act recklessly, it will only bring disaster to the Taiyi Sect.

The main point Luo YeDaoist Master wants to address is not about certain cultivation forces within the Jiuqu League secretly collaborating with the Dali Dynasty but rather the future of the Dark Alliance branch within the Jiuqu League.

After the Dali Dynasty gained control of its own Dark Alliance branch, they utilized their resources and power to expand towards other Dark Alliance branches in the surrounding regions. The Dark Alliance branch located across the Severing Mountain Range actively chose to join the Dali Dynasty, playing a significant role in the Dali Dynasty's war against the Three Sects Alliance.

Now, the Dali Dynasty continues its expansion and sees the Jiuqu League as its next target for conquest. The Dark Alliance branch within the Jiuqu League must make a decision.

The Dali Dynasty has already sent envoys to the high-ranking members of the Dark Alliance branch on this side, proposing favorable cooperation conditions. If the Jiuqu League's Dark Alliance branch willingly joins the Dali Dynasty and cooperates in the conquest of the Jiuqu League, there will be significant rewards and benefits in the future.

However, within the Jiuqu League's Dark Alliance branch, there are conflicting factions and differing opinions, making it difficult to reach a decision in the short term. Despite their considerable strength, they cannot act decisively due to the internal disagreements.

Luo YeDaoist Master's faction maintains close ties with the Dark Alliance headquarters and has always followed their commands. However, regarding the matter of the Dali Dynasty, the headquarters has not given clear instructions and only advised them to act according to the situation and prioritize their self-preservation.

While one faction is eager to join the Dali Dynasty as allies, another faction firmly insists on maintaining their independence and refuses to bow to the Dali Dynasty. This conflict within the Dark Alliance causes headaches for Luo YeDaoist Master and her disciples.

Luo YeDaoist Master also worries that if the Dark Alliance delays its decision for too long, news of their collaboration with the Dali Dynasty might leak. In that case, sects like the Jade Sword Sect might take preemptive action against the Dark Alliance branch to eliminate potential internal threats.

Meng Zhang agrees with Luo YeDaoist Master's concerns. Many of the rules in the Cultivation World apply only to peaceful times and are not suitable for the current tense situation. Regardless of what choice the Dark Alliance branch makes or which side they lean towards, it would be better than their current appearance of neutrality with internal conflicts.

Meng Zhang, having known Luo YeDaoist Master for many years, has interacted with many cultivators from the Dark Alliance branch. He has some understanding of their strength.

This faction possesses considerable power and can achieve many things if they act proactively. Whether they succeed or fail, there are many ways they can preserve themselves. However, if they delay making any decision, they will miss valuable opportunities.

Luo YeDaoist Master has come to see Meng Zhang this time to seek his opinion and to act as a mediator between her own faction and the Taiyi Sect. In the current changing situation, the Taiyi Sect needs friends, and Luo YeDaoist Master's group, urgently requiring external support, is a perfect match.

Luo YeDaoist Master hinted at her intention, and Meng Zhang readily agreed, hoping that the two sides could form an alliance quickly and face the future together.

Meng Zhang also knows that if it weren't for his timely achievement of the Primordial Spirit, even with a good relationship with Luo YeDaoist Master, he might not be considered for such significant alliance matters by those behind Luo YeDaoist Master.

As for seeking Meng Zhang's opinion, she carefully pondered the matter. Even though Taiyi Sect currently aligns with the Jade Sword Sect camp, and the Dali Dynasty can be considered their enemy, Meng Zhang does not show any bias based on Taiyi Sect's stance.

He suggests that the high-ranking members of Luo YeDaoist Master's faction should engage in more contact with the Dali Dynasty, understand their strength, reputation, and test their bottom line, striving for more favorable conditions.

In Meng Zhang's mind, given the current struggle between the Dali Dynasty and the Jiuqu League, if the Jiuqu League doesn't possess any hidden cards, it seems that the Dali Dynasty has a slightly better chance of winning. Since Taiyi Sect is currently part of the Jade Sword Sect camp, if Luo YeDaoist Master's faction joins the Dali Dynasty, the two sides can exchange information and take care of each other.

Although they belong to different camps, the two sides can complement each other and become each other's escape route.

Within the Dark Alliance branch, there must be intelligent individuals who can form an independent faction. Meng Zhang has never expected to hide his thoughts from others. Being secretive not only appears petty but also makes it difficult to gain trust. Therefore, Meng Zhang openly shared his ideas and thoughts with Luo YeDaoist Master.

Meng Zhang was candid about his proposal, acknowledging that although it was somewhat self-interested, it would benefit everyone and not harm the interests of Luo YeDaoist Master's faction.

After a lengthy discussion between Luo YeDaoist Master and Meng Zhang in Taiyi Sect, they reached various agreements before parting ways. Luo YeDaoist Master took Meng Zhang's words back to her own faction's high-ranking members.

However, after Luo YeDaoist Master left, Meng Zhang hesitated about contacting the Gu Yue Family. He needed to know the relationship between the different branches of the Gu Yue Family in Great Wind City and whether the Great Wind City branch had sided with the Dali Dynasty.

Since Luo YeDaoist Master couldn't provide detailed intelligence, Meng Zhang pinned his hopes on An Moran, hoping that he could gather useful information from the Jade Sword Sect.

An Moran didn't disappoint Meng Zhang and succeeded in establishing contact with the Jade Sword Sect. Taiyi Sect was open about their intentions, clearly stating their desire to connect with the Gu Yue Family, overthrow the Lu Family's rule, and gain full control of Great Wind City.

In the eyes of the Jade Sword Sect, as long as the Jiuqu League hasn't completely collapsed, the Gu Yue Family won't betray them voluntarily. The numerous branches of the Gu Yue Family are mostly in a competitive relationship with each other, which can sometimes be fierce and even cruel.

Taiyi Sect wants to rally the Gu Yue Family to bring down the Lu Family and control Great Wind City, which is a significant matter. They need to be prepared, as some Taiyi Sect high-ranking members worry that if the Gu Yue Family succeeds, the defeated Lu Family might seek help from True Monarch Azure Mist, escalating the conflict and possibly triggering a civil war within the Jiuqu League.

However, Meng Zhang chooses to trust the Jade Sword Sect. He believes that the Jade Sword Sect will not let the newcomers face the wrath of the Azure Origin Sect, no matter what their considerations are.

Even though Meng Zhang doesn't want an internal war within the Jiuqu League at this time, he won't let these concerns hinder his actions.

After extensive discussions with the high-ranking members of Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang personally contacted the Gu Yue Family cultivators. He chose Gu Yue Huaidie, an old friend from the Gu Yue Family, as the first person to meet.

Gu Yue Huaidie, as the Gu Yue Family's strategist, holds a high position within the clan and has significant influence in many matters. Convincing her would make subsequent actions much smoother.

Meng Zhang is also aware of Gu Yue Huaidie's secret as a Diviner. He doesn't intend to use this secret to threaten her, but there might be ways to use it to his advantage.

Taiyi Sect and the Gu Yue Family have a close relationship, with many commercial exchanges between them. Taiyi Sect disciples easily made contact with the Gu Yue Family to arrange a meeting.

Shortly thereafter, Meng Zhang secretly arrived at the Gu Yue Family's branch outside of Great Wind City and met Gu Yue Huaidie in secret. Before achieving Primordial Spirit, he could meet with the high-ranking members of the Gu Yue Family openly. Now, as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, he had to act covertly and surreptitiously, which was quite ironic.
