Sect Master's Immortal Journey-Chapter 721: Branch

Gu Yue Family and Lu Family are both dominant families in Great Wind City. In all aspects, Gu Yue Family is second only to Lu Family. In the world of cultivation, there is no place for those who are content to live a peaceful life as good people. Meng Zhang doesn't believe that Gu Yue Family is willing to forever remain subordinate to Lu Family, meekly accepting their position as the second power for a thousand years. If there is powerful external support, would Gu Yue Family not covet the position of the city lord of Great Wind City? If there is an opportunity to replace Lu Family's status, would Gu Yue Family not be tempted?

Although Taiyi Sect has a close relationship with Gu Yue Family, Meng Zhang has had many dealings with them before. However, after achieving the status of Primordial Spirit True Monarch, this is the first time he has contacted Gu Yue Family with a specific purpose in mind. Despite becoming a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, Meng Zhang has not become arrogant or careless. He continues to act with caution and thoughtfulness.

Before taking action, Meng Zhang specifically sent a message to Daoist Master Luo Ye, asking for her help in gathering deep-level intelligence about Gu Yue Family.

Furthermore, he did not place all his hopes on the black market. Instead, he assigned An Moran, an elder of the Secret Hall from Taiyi Sect, to contact the intelligence system of Jade Sword Sect and try to obtain assistance from them.

Don't assume that Jade Sword Sect, being a Sword Cultivator sect, is a group of straightforward and naive Sword Cultivators. Even if Jade Sword Sect is powerful, it would not have survived in the Cultivation World until now if that were the case. Any sect that wants to survive and grow in the Cultivation World cannot avoid the dark side.

Within Jade Sword Sect, there are also cunning and malicious individuals, like old foxes skilled in calculation and schemes. With a history of over two thousand years, Jade Sword Sect is second only to Azure Origin Sect within Jiuqu League. Over the years, Jade Sword Sect's influence has extended covertly to all aspects and corners of Jiuqu League and even deep into the edge of the Middle-Earth Continent.

Most Hall Masters of Taiyi Sect's branches are cultivators at the Foundation Building stage. After these Hall Masters advance to the Gold Core stage, they often pass the Hall Master position to other Foundation Building stage disciples and take on the role of elders. However, within Taiyi Sect, there are a few branches where the Hall Master position is held by a Gold Core stage elder.

Even after forming a Gold Core, An Moran did not resign as the Secret Hall Master and continued to be responsible for all affairs of the Secret Hall. In fact, as the number of Gold Core stage cultivators in Taiyi Sect increased, there were more outstanding individuals among the Foundation Building stage disciples. Some Foundation Building stage disciples serving as Hall Masters found it difficult to suppress other elite Foundation Building stage disciples within their own branch. As a result, Taiyi Sect has started to gradually adjust the positions within the sect. For instance, An Moran's elder sister, An Xiaoran, after forming her Gold Core, still held the position of Hall Master in Pill Hall while also being a Gold Core elder.Taiyi Sect has now become a subordinate of Jade Sword Sect, wholeheartedly serving the interests of Jade Sword Sect. Naturally, Jade Sword Sect will offer some benefits to Taiyi Sect. Setting aside the deepening of the exchange and cooperation between the two sects, the sharing of information and intelligence is a very natural thing.

Meng Zhang and Elder Beast Fury collaborated to kill two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs from New Beast King Mountain, and later, Meng Zhang also wiped out a group of Lu Family cultivators, including Lu Haosheng. This served as a reliable proof of allegiance to Jade Sword Sect.

In the eyes of the higher-ups in Jade Sword Sect, Meng Zhang is considered a reliable ally. As long as Meng Zhang's requests are not too excessive, Jade Sword Sect will try to fulfill them. Moreover, Meng Zhang's plan to use Gu Yue Family to replace Lu Family aligns with the interests of Jade Sword Sect, so there is no reason for them not to support it.

The exchange between Taiyi Sect's Secret Hall and Jade Sword Sect is not just for the current mission, nor is it solely for gathering intelligence about Gu Yue Family. Although An Moran is silent and not good with words, he is skilled in handling matters. With his abilities, he should be able to gain a lot from these exchanges.

Before getting any response from Jade Sword Sect, Meng Zhang's old friend, Daoist Master Luo Ye, came to visit first. It had been many years since they last met, and Meng Zhang had already become a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, which made Luo Ye Daoist Master quite emotional.

Fortunately, Meng Zhang is not the kind of person who puts on airs, nor does he act like a high and mighty Primordial Spirit True Monarch. He still treats Luo Ye Daoist Master with the attitude of an old friend and warmly welcomed her.

After receiving Meng Zhang's message, Luo Ye Daoist Master mobilized her resources and used the black market channels to gather the information Meng Zhang wanted to know. When she came to visit, she not only brought this information but also had important matters to discuss with Meng Zhang.

According to Luo Ye Daoist Master, Gu Yue Family has an extraordinary background and is a complex cultivation family. The branch of Gu Yue Family in Jiuqu League is only one part of the entire family. There are other branches of Gu Yue Family in Dali Dynasty and even on Middle-Earth Continent.

Due to time constraints and the lack of seamless cooperation between various branches of the black market, Luo Ye Daoist Master couldn't obtain detailed information about the true roots of Gu Yue Family. However, she collected the most information about the branch of Gu Yue Family in Jiuqu League.

Shortly after Jiuqu League was established, one branch of Gu Yue Family moved here. After thousands of years of development, they, along with Lu Family, established the foundation of Great Wind City.

From the information collected, Great Wind City's Gu Yue Family can be considered a decent Gold Core family. However, in the eyes of true powerhouses, they are not particularly outstanding. Even a newly promoted Primordial Spirit like Meng Zhang could easily overpower Gu Yue Family.

Additionally, Luo Ye Daoist Master managed to gather some information about the branch of Gu Yue Family serving in Dali Dynasty through the contacts between various black market branches. It seemed that this branch had gained the trust of the royal family and had many members holding high positions. The overall strength of the family was much stronger than the branch in Jiuqu League, making them one of the important cultivation families in Dali Dynasty.

As for the information about the branch of Gu Yue Family on Middle-Earth Continent, Luo Ye Daoist Master had not yet received any reports from her subordinates.

After listening to the information brought by Luo Ye Daoist Master, Meng Zhang was quite surprised. He had heard that Gu Yue Family had an extraordinary background, but he didn't expect the extent of their involvement to be so extensive. Dali Dynasty is a major adversary of Jiuqu League, and Jade Sword Sect decided to break away from the league because Azure Origin Sect was unwilling to go to war with Dali Dynasty and other similar actions. Moreover, if there is a branch of Gu Yue Family serving Dali Dynasty, it raises significant questions about the trustworthiness of the branch in Great Wind City.
