Chapter 849: Assassination Attempt
In the name of the Jade Sword Sect, Jade Sword True Monarch sent out invitations to the main representatives of various cultivation forces within the Jiuqu League.
Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain was previously the frontline against the Dali Dynasty, where cultivators from major cultivation forces gathered. Although most of them had withdrawn after the ceasefire, a small number of them were still symbolically stationed there.
Despite the temporary truce with the Dali Dynasty, the Jade Sword Sect did not relax its defenses in the area around Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain. Elite Sword Cultivators were deployed year-round in the vicinity.
Jade Sword True Monarch, along with figures like Xiao Jiansheng, resided on Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain permanently. Over time, it had become the temporary headquarters of the Jiuqu League.
Jade Sword True Monarch extended an invitation to the main representatives of various cultivation forces in the Jiuqu League, explicitly stating that the purpose of the gathering was to discuss strategies for combating the Extraterritorial Invaders who occupied Cloudmist Great Lake.
The news of the invitation had already spread, and Meng Zhang, as the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, naturally received it and accepted without hesitation.
Although Meng Zhang had some rebellious thoughts towards the Jade Sword Sect, he still maintained a façade and refrained from openly confronting them for the time being.
Determined to handle things discreetly, Meng Zhang decided to attend the meeting alone, without bringing any other disciples along. Shortly before the gathering began, he left the frontline camp of Taiyi Sect and flew alone towards Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain.
Flying a considerable distance, almost leaving the Endless Sea of Sand, Meng Zhang suddenly sensed a strong warning.
