Chapter 213: For a long time does not see
After Ruan Dadao walked far away, Gu Tanghai remained standing at the entrance of the hall, watching him leave. Meng Zhang walked a few steps over and warmly greeted him, "Brother Gu, what a coincidence to meet you here."
Gu Tanghai, upon seeing Meng Zhang, had a smile on his face. "Sect Master Meng, you actually came to the market today. I must entertain you properly."
"No need for any special treatment. What's with that old guy Ruan Dadao? I wonder what scheme he's up to now," Meng Zhang asked directly.
Gu Tanghai didn't answer Meng Zhang's question directly. "Brother Meng, you don't need to worry. The plans Ruan brother is making will be beneficial to both of us."
"Don't worry too much. Half a month from now, Guang HongDaoist will gather everyone to discuss the matter. By then, you'll know what's going on," Gu Tanghai reassured him.
Hearing Gu Tanghai's words, Meng Zhang decided not to press further. However, he felt cautious, not wanting to be excluded from the group.
Meng Zhang chatted with Gu Tanghai for a while before returning to Taiyi Sect. Since Forest Spring Watch started expanding, Meng Zhang had been feeling a sense of urgency. Not only did he intensify his cultivation, but he also pushed his disciples to improve.
The disciples Meng Zhang had faith in didn't disappoint. His senior disciple, Niu Dawei, had achieved the Refining Qi Second Layer in just over a year of cultivation. Yang Xueyi and Wen Qiansun made great progress in their Cultivation Base and also delved deep into their respective cultivation arts.
Furthermore, there were several disciples at the Refining Qi Late Stage, barely ready for practical use.
Taiyi Sect had grown substantially, and it was the right time to utilize its resources. Disciples needed to complete various sect missions to earn more contributions, and no one was exempted from this.
At first glance, it seemed like this approach might have delayed their cultivation, but completing sect missions was also a form of training for the disciples. Since Gu Tanghai said that in half a month, they would know the specifics, Meng Zhang patiently waited for the time to come.
After half a month, just as Gu Tanghai had said, a message came summoning Meng Zhang to Singing Sand City for an important discussion.
When Meng Zhang arrived at Singing Sand City, he saw a group of familiar faces. Representatives from several other sects had already gathered, and Guang HongDaoist was present as well. Unlike the last meeting, Guang HongDaoist looked spirited and carried himself with the aura of a prominent master.
Now, Forest Spring Watch truly controlled Singing Sand City. After exchanging pleasantries with Gu Tanghai, Guang HongDaoist took the lead in presiding over the meeting.
Once everyone had taken their seats in the main hall, Ruan Dadao mysteriously stood up and said, "Fellow colleagues, we have another guest joining our meeting today."
After explaining to everyone, he called out, "Brother Zhao, everyone is here; it's time for you to make an appearance."
A figure Meng Zhang didn't expect walked out from behind the hall. Seeing him, Meng Zhang, who was usually composed, almost couldn't hold back a shout.
Zhao Jiudou, weren't all the cultivators from Zhao Family supposed to have died at the hands of Ghost Path cultivators? How was he still alive, and why did he appear here?
Wait, Zhao Jiudou was just a Refining Qi cultivator. When did he manage to achieve Foundation Building and become a Foundation Building cultivator?
Sensing Zhao Jiudou's state, Meng Zhang couldn't help but have a drastic change in expression. After regaining his composure, he scanned the surroundings.
Everyone else seemed unsurprised; evidently, they had known about Zhao Jiudou's presence in advance. It seemed that he was the only one kept in the dark.
Meng Zhang's face turned incredibly gloomy, feeling as though he was being rejected by everyone present.
"Everyone present should be familiar with Brother Zhao, so there's no need for further introductions from me," Ruan Dadao said with a pleased expression. He seemed to revel in the fact that Zhao Jiudou had become a disciple of the Flying Swan Sect's War Hall elder, Zhao Liefeng.
Zhao Jiudou proceeded to greet everyone, "Long time no see, I believe you all still remember me."
"Back then, the evildoers from Twin Success Valley colluded with Ghost Path cultivators. Not only did they wipe out my Zhao Family, but they also hunted us down, even ambushing my Zhao Family members within the territory of Flying Swan Sect. Our family head and elders all tragically died at the hands of the Ghost Path cultivators, but I was fortunate to be saved by my master, escaping the disaster."
Listening to Zhao Jiudou talking non-stop, Meng Zhang's unease grew. Although Twin Success Valley was responsible for annihilating Zhao Family, his spreading of rumors had played a significant role in it.
What's more, the Ancestral Ground of Zhao Family, Fuzhao Valley, was now the main gate of Taiyi Sect. While it was a prize taken from Twin Success Valley, Zhao Jiudou, with a grudge against him, probably wouldn't let this matter go easily.
As for voluntarily handing over Fuzhao Valley, it was simply impossible. If Zhao Jiudou really wanted to cause trouble, then there would be a confrontation.
Fortunately, Taiyi Sect was currently a vassal of Forest Spring Watch, and it was unlikely that Zhao Jiudou, as a disciple of the Flying Swan Sect, would openly oppress him with the power of their sect.
Meng Zhang distinctly remembered the information he received previously; Ghost Path cultivators had utilized internal strife within Zhao Family to kill all remaining cultivators. Surprisingly, Zhao Jiudou survived, not to mention he became a disciple under Flying Swan Sect's War Hall elder, Zhao Liefeng. It seemed like he followed a standard protagonist's path.
That Ghost Path cultivator was useless. Zhao Jiudou managed to escape, leaving behind a huge problem.
Zhao Jiudou was unaware of Meng Zhang's change of heart and continued speaking endlessly.
Meng Zhang listened, and it was nothing more than Zhao Jiudou angrily condemning Twin Success Valley and glorifying his own fortune, surviving great difficulties and eventually joining Flying Swan Sect.
Zhao Jiudou talked for a while before finally getting to the point. He wanted to rally the forces present to team up and completely wipe out the remnants of Twin Success Valley. It wasn't a secret that Twin Success Valley had remnants fleeing, and the traps they set couldn't escape the eyes of Flying Swan Sect.
Now, Zhao Jiudou was calling for everyone to act together and eradicate Twin Success Valley once and for all. It seemed that besides settling his personal vendetta, there might be Taiyi Sect's interests involved as well.
Zhao Jiudou's words received unanimous support from everyone, including Meng Zhang, who Unexpectedly realized that Twin Success Valley had become so detested and abandoned, their allies scattered as soon as trouble arose.
