Chapter 308: Removing firewood from under the pot

Meng Zhang personally received these loose cultivators and used Mind Reading to read their thoughts one by one, ensuring that they had no ulterior motives. Those who were identified by Meng Zhang were naturally accepted by Taiyi Sect. However, Meng Zhang did not directly absorb these loose cultivators into Taiyi Sect. Taiyi Sect was no longer the same as before and did not need to resort to desperate measures. The standards for recruiting disciples had become higher.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Taiyi Sect originally had a Hengyuan Building in Singing Sand City, which was Taiyi Sect's main commercial organization in the city and was managed by Zhang Zhanlin, the adopted son of Li Xuan. Meng Zhang handed over all these absorbed loose cultivators to Zhang Zhanlin, who would serve Hengyuan Building. In Meng Zhang's plan, Hengyuan Building was to Taiyi Sect what Flying Swan Building was to Flying Swan Sect. As Taiyi Sect's commercial organization, Hengyuan Building had to keep growing and expanding its influence outward.

Meng Zhang was lenient in his standards for these loose cultivators, as long as they were not too evil or hostile to Taiyi Sect, they were absorbed into Hengyuan Building. These people would serve Hengyuan Building, and if they were loyal and worked hard enough, they would have the opportunity to join Taiyi Sect as formal disciples after passing many tests. For now, they could only be considered peripheral members of Taiyi Sect.

As for those loose cultivators who were unwilling to pledge allegiance to the Shi Family or join Taiyi Sect, or those whom Taiyi Sect did not value, Meng Zhang did not trouble them. Taiyi Sect had just occupied such a large territory and needed to appease people's hearts. It was not appropriate to rashly resort to killing. As long as the various loose cultivators did not violate the laws of Singing Sand City, they could stay here safely and come and go freely.

Jin Qigu, who returned to Singing Sand City with Meng Zhang, did not stay here but directly began to patrol this vast territory to ensure peace around them. While Meng Zhang and Jin Qigu were busy stabilizing the rear, Shangguan Longyan, the Sect Master of Earthfire Sect, also received a letter from Guang Hui Daoist, the Sect Master of Forest Spring Watch.

When facing Flying Swan Sect, Forest Spring Watch and Earthfire Sect were natural allies. Now that Forest Spring Watch was under siege, Earthfire Sect should not sit idly by. However, Shangguan Longyan also had his own difficulties. The Grand Elder, Daoist Master Roaring Blaze, was not present, and even as a Sect Master, Shangguan Longyan could not make many decisions.

Deep Earth Spirit General did not disappoint Meng Zhang. After a long time of surveying, he finally proposed a feasible plan to weaken or even break the mountain protection formation of Forest Spring Watch. The mountain protection formation of Forest Spring Watch consumed a large amount of spiritual energy every moment it operated. The mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch was located on a Second Rank spirit vein, which continuously provided spiritual energy to the mountain protection formation to maintain its operation.

Deep Earth Spirit General fully utilized his expertise as a Geomancer and surveyed the specific direction of the Second Rank spirit vein. Spirit veins generally spread along the underground veins. An excellent Geomancer could explore the specific location of the spirit vein by following the underground veins. If the vein was cut off, Deep Earth Spirit General could use Geomancer secret techniques to influence the flow of spiritual energy in the spirit vein and stop it from providing spiritual energy to the mountain protection formation.

Without the spiritual energy provided by the Second Rank spirit vein, Forest Spring Watch would need to consume a large amount of spiritual stones every moment to maintain the operation of the mountain protection formation. The stock of spiritual stones in Forest Spring Watch was limited. Even if Forest Spring Watch was wealthy and had a deep foundation, it could not withstand this kind of consumption. When the spiritual stones were exhausted, the mountain protection formation would lose its source of spiritual energy and naturally collapse.

Without the support of the mountain protection formation, the cultivators inside Forest Spring Watch would not be able to resist the joint forces of Taiyi Sect and Qiaoshou Sect. After listening to Deep Earth Spirit General's plan, Meng Zhang was very grateful. Fortunately, with Deep Earth Spirit General, they could come up with this plan to take away the firewood from under the pot.

Meng Zhang convened all the Foundation Building cultivators and explained Deep Earth Spirit General's plan to them before assigning tasks. The task of the Foundation Building cultivators was to closely monitor the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch and prevent the cultivators inside from causing trouble. The Refining Qi cultivators of the two sects were mobilized to dig around and cut off the veins according to Deep Earth Spirit General's instructions.

After the arrangements were made, all the cultivators began to act according to the plan.
