Chapter 853: Seeking Refuge
Before, Wen Dong True Monarch would meet with Meng Zhang in the wilderness. This was the first time he took the initiative to visit him.
Fortunately, the frontline camp of Taiyi Sect was mainly filled with Taiyi Sect disciples, which allowed Meng Zhang to meet him discreetly.
However, Wen Dong True Monarch seemed to pay no attention to Meng Zhang's complaints. As soon as they met, he informed Meng Zhang of the news that Xiao Jiansheng had led the cultivator army to attack Cloudmist Great Lake but returned empty-handed.
This incident had only recently occurred, and neither Taiyi Sect's intelligence channels nor the Dark Alliance's branches had transmitted the news yet.
After listening to Wen Dong True Monarch's account, Meng Zhang made a preliminary judgment.
Jade Sword Sect's situation was dire, and it seemed unlikely that Jiuqu League could survive much longer.
Originally, Jiuqu League was much weaker than Dali Dynasty's North Sweeping Grand Army. They managed to hold their ground against the enemy thanks to Xiao Jiansheng's leadership and support from the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle.
Now, with Xiao Jiansheng's departure filled with resentment and Bai Zhengyu True Monarch leaving with the reinforcements, even though North Sweeping Grand Army withdrew a significant portion of their forces, Jiuqu League's internal stability had been compromised. They could no longer concentrate their strength as they did before.
In this matter, the extraterritorial demons and the Spirit Clan, occupying Cloudmist Great Lake, inadvertently helped Dali Dynasty greatly. Though colluding with Extraterritorial Invaders was a taboo in the Cultivation World, Dali Dynasty had always been audacious and unscrupulous. If they were involved with the Extraterritorial Invaders, it wouldn't be surprising.
