Sect Master's Immortal Journey-Chapter 731: Confused

Meng Zhang's cultivation of internal energy was extraordinary, and his expression remained unchanged. He didn't get angry at Wen Dong's disdain but instead privately reflected on his own mistakes.

He understood that in order to compete, he needed to demonstrate Taiyi Sect's strength to the Dali Dynasty, making them aware of the huge loss they would suffer by rejecting him. Only then would the members of the Dali Dynasty, including Wen Dong, start to value Taiyi Sect and consider granting it a proper position.

The overall strength of the Dark Alliance was almost second only to the Holy Land Sect in the Middle-Earth Continent. Even as a branch, it possessed power surpassing that of ordinary Primordial Spirit sects.

Whether for the sake of face at the Dark Alliance's headquarters or out of fear of its branch's strength, the Dali Dynasty would highly regard them and offer various advantages to win them over.

The situation for Taiyi Sect and the Dark Alliance branch was different. So far, neither Meng Zhang, the Sect Master, nor the entire Taiyi Sect had demonstrated the strength that would make the Dali Dynasty take them seriously.

Having grasped this truth, Meng Zhang knew that today's contact should end here. He couldn't obtain what he wanted from the Dali Dynasty at this point.

Of course, Meng Zhang didn't make the trip in vain. At least, he showed goodwill and made an early contact with the Dali Dynasty. When the Dali Dynasty truly valued him in the future, they would likely come to him proactively.

Although a bit reluctant, Meng Zhang maintained a minimum level of courtesy when facing Wen Dong.

After briefly exchanging words with Wen Dong, Meng Zhang took the initiative to bid farewell.

Watching Meng Zhang's departing figure, Wen Dong narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

Being entrusted by the Dali Dynasty with important tasks to operate within the Jiuqu League, Wen Dong was by no means a shallow person. His cultivation base was profound, and his combat power was formidable, especially his mastery of escape techniques. Even when facing attacks from several Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, he had the means to survive.

As for his way of doing things, it was even more cautious and meticulous.

Before entering the Jiuqu League, Wen Dong had already thoroughly researched all kinds of information about it through the intelligence system of the Dali Dynasty. After entering the league, he gained even deeper insights through his own first-hand experiences.

Meng Zhang himself was unaware that Wen Dong valued Taiyi Sect and him, a young Primordial Spirit True Monarch, far more than he had imagined.

The reason Wen Dong still treated Meng Zhang with such arrogance was partly due to Dali Dynasty's custom of treating ordinary cultivators seeking to join with such an attitude. Currently, the Dali Dynasty held an absolute advantage, and it was impossible to readily treat every random person who sought to join with great importance or to negotiate with them.

Even if Wen Dong valued Meng Zhang somewhat, he wouldn't recklessly change the long-standing and effective customs.

Secondly, in Wen Dong's mind, there was the intention to test Taiyi Sect and see to what extent Meng Zhang's thoughts could reach. If Meng Zhang demonstrated his value in the future, he would naturally receive corresponding treatment. However, based on Meng Zhang's performance today, there was nothing extraordinary and he didn't leave a deep impression on Wen Dong.

Being a Primordial Spirit True Monarch indeed placed one at the upper echelons of the Cultivation World, making them valuable to attract. However, from another perspective, the Dali Dynasty was formidable and had numerous Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. They wouldn't lack for one or two more.

If Meng Zhang continued to perform this way, even if he joined the Dali Dynasty, he wouldn't attain a high position.

As a secret envoy sent by the Dali Dynasty to the Jiuqu League, Wen Dong's mission was not just negotiations with the Dark Alliance branch. He was tasked with using various means, including coercion and enticement, to create divisions within the Jiuqu League, preventing the major cultivation forces from uniting against the Dali Dynasty.

The high-ranking officials of the Dali Dynasty were skilled in strategy, adept at seizing opportunities, and knew how to leverage their advantages. After thoroughly defeating the Three Sects Alliance, although they suffered losses, they still had the power to wage war with the Jiuqu League. However, they didn't rush into an all-out attack. Instead, they maintained pressure without launching a real offensive, which was a highly sophisticated strategy.

By not attacking immediately, the Dali Dynasty gave some cultivation forces a sense of luck and a chance to avoid confrontation. It also provided more time for various cultivation forces to weigh the pros and cons and carefully analyze the relative strengths of both sides.

The Dali Dynasty's actions, while seemingly allowing the Jiuqu League time to resolve its internal issues, directly led to the accelerated split between the Jade Sword Sect and the Azure Origin Sect, fostering further division within the Jiuqu League.

Currently, the Jiuqu League was in a state of panic, lacking fighting spirit, and everyone was busy seeking a way out for themselves. No one would easily trust their former allies. Even the staunch pro-war Jade Sword Sect found it challenging to gain the trust of other cultivation forces.

The situation within the Jiuqu League was deteriorating continuously, and internal division was only a matter of time.

When that time came, the Dali Dynasty would be faced with a fragmented Jiuqu League, saving them a great deal of effort. There were farsighted wise individuals within the Jiuqu League who saw through the Dali Dynasty's sinister intentions, but at this stage, the situation was difficult to reverse.

The two behemoths, Jade Sword Sect and Azure Origin Sect, would no longer trust each other, and other cultivation forces were caught in a web of mutual suspicion.

Wen Dong, who had infiltrated the Jiuqu League in secret, aimed to deepen this mistrust and accelerate the internal division of the Jiuqu League.

Meng Zhang, leaving the Dark Alliance secret base, was also well aware of the situation before the Jiuqu League. However, with his current strength and position, he couldn't influence the overall situation. Even when he was just a small cultivator, he often felt powerless in the face of adversity. Now, as a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, he still felt helpless against the vast tide of events.

The overall situation was irreversible, and he had no power to change the fate of the Jiuqu League. He could only hope to protect himself and Taiyi Sect amidst the tumultuous storm.

Initiating contact with the Dali Dynasty's envoy didn't bring any substantive benefits. Wen Dong's attitude left Meng Zhang unsure of his next step, plunging him into a state of confusion.

He didn't know where to go from here, and it was indeed a headache-inducing dilemma.
