Chapter 174: Strain

Chapter 174: Strain

For a sect with a Gold Core Daoist Master, if they don't have absolute certainty to annihilate the Gold Core of the opposing side, they should not easily start a war of extermination. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

Flying Swan Sect had suppressed the Qi Family of the Northern Desert for many years, engaging in small-scale battles and causing significant casualties, but they had never launched a full-scale war for this very reason.

Regardless of whether Flying Swan Sect was willing or not, Guang Zhi Daoist Master had already become a Gold Core Daoist Master. Since he was now a Gold Core Daoist Master, he was entitled to both the good and bad treatment that came with it.

After the internal turmoil within Flying Swan Sect calmed down, some people proposed actively recruiting Guang Zhi Daoist Master to prevent him from running to the Qi Family of the Northern Desert and altering the power balance in the Endless Sea of Sand.

In the world, there are no forever friends, nor forever enemies.

Guang Zhi Daoist Master had plotted against Flying Swan Sect, causing them to suffer heavy losses and lose face, but all that was already in the past.

People must learn to look forward. As the ruler of the Endless Sea of Sand, Flying Swan Sect should prioritize their interests and not let emotions sway their decisions.

This viewpoint surprisingly gained popularity within Flying Swan Sect.

Of course, the voices of opposition were louder.

Cultivators sought enlightenment with a single thought. If Guang Zhi Daoist Master really transformed and became a member of Flying Swan Sect, there would be many cultivators within Flying Swan Sect who would fail to achieve enlightenment.

Cultivators were not heartless, desireless immortals. The cultivators of Flying Swan Sect had not reached the level of being completely emotionless. They couldn't forget the humiliation they had just suffered so quickly.

And so, Flying Swan Sect found itself embroiled in internal disputes. As for Forest Spring Watch, apart from increasing surveillance, there were no further actions taken.

The Liu Family, a major force, took the opportunity after Twin Success Valley's demise to quickly seize control of Twin Success Valley's territory and absorb its legacy.

The news from the black market was indeed highly accurate, even being able to glean information about the internal debates within Flying Swan Sect.

After Meng Zhang obtained this information and analyzed the current situation, he quickly made a decision.

As long as the internal disputes in Flying Swan Sect were not settled, there would be no further actions. As long as Guang Zhi Daoist Master existed, Flying Swan Sect would be in a dilemma.

Twin Success Valley was the regional overlord, possessing a large amount of resources and numerous vassal forces.

Now that Twin Success Valley was no more, a huge vacuum had appeared in the surrounding areas.

Meng Zhang's successful Foundation Building had also elevated Taiyi Sect to the level of a Foundation Building sect gate, granting them the qualifications to join the fray.

Taiyi Sect should take advantage of this opportunity to expand its sphere of influence and strengthen its own power. This way, no matter how the situation changed, they would have more capital.

Twin Success Valley also had experience in raising various types of monster birds, so there was no need to specifically raise the Scarlet Feathered Eagle.

The Scarlet Feathered Fluid produced in recent years was used to raise some immortal cranes and other monster birds.

The spirit fields of the Zhao Family were not left uncultivated in Twin Success Valley but were carefully tended to by skilled spirit farmers.

After Twin Success Valley scattered and broke through the siege of various groups of cultivators, they also gained many spoils of war, including the majority of the Zhao Family's treasury.

Apart from some resources being transported back to Twin Success Valley, there were still plenty of various resources left in the treasury to continue the operation here.

Moreover, in Fuzhao Valley, there happened to be a Second Rank flying boat carrying goods. Even in sects like Twin Success Valley, Second Rank flying boats were not abundant.

Now, all these resources fell into Meng Zhang's hands, becoming spoils of war for Taiyi Sect.

Regarding the captured Twin Success Valley disciples, Meng Zhang did not give them too much trouble.

Now that Twin Success Valley had been destroyed, they were all homeless. If they were willing to join Taiyi Sect, as long as they swore loyalty, they could become members of Taiyi Sect.

For those who didn't want to join Taiyi Sect, they could leave their storage bags and depart from here cleanly.

As a result, about half of them left with only the clothes on their backs, leaving this place. Perhaps these Twin Success Valley disciples still had some pride and looked down on Taiyi Sect, which was once their vassal.

The other half of the disciples agreed to join Taiyi Sect.

Meng Zhang knew that these people had no choice but to join Taiyi Sect under the circumstances and had no real loyalty to Taiyi Sect. As soon as there was a slight setback, these people would be the first to leave the sect.

However, Meng Zhang had his own plan for keeping these people.

Taiyi Sect was currently like a giant swallowing prey, having consumed a large amount of territory, and was lacking available manpower. If they were to proceed with the steady cultivation of trustworthy direct disciple descendants, it would take an unknown amount of time.

Currently, Taiyi Sect needed to seize territories, and naturally, they needed to rapidly increase the number of disciples.

Meng Zhang not only recruited a large number of loose cultivators, but also considered the scattered disciples of Twin Success Valley to be excellent candidates for recruitment.

Disciples trained by sects like Twin Success Valley had a higher quality than ordinary loose cultivators and possessed great potential.

As for how to ensure their loyalty and how to use them, Meng Zhang had his own methods.
