Chapter 1143 Prepare to Counterattack
Completely disrupting the Yuantu Prairie and preventing the Taiyi Sect from developing this area is only the first step in the plan of these big merchants.
If the above scenario occurs, it will fully prove that the Taiyi Sect is really incompetent. It is actually unable to control the situation on the Yuantu Prairie and allows the barbarians from outside the territory to harm the human cultivators.
Taiyi Sect cannot bear the responsibility of protecting the human race and is not qualified to own territory like Yuantu Prairie.
At this time, it is the turn of these big businessmen to come out and pretend to be good people.
Yuantu Prairie was originally an area controlled by human cultivators, and there were numerous cultivating forces here.
However, later barbarians from outside the territory invaded on a large scale, and all the cultivation forces on the prairie were wiped out.
Countless mountain gates were captured, and countless cultivators and mortals were killed wantonly.
Facing the irresistible foreign barbarians, a large number of cultivation forces could only retreat continuously.
They were forced to leave their homes and flee their territory, fleeing to the nearest territory of the Jiuqu Alliance.
The edge areas of the Yuantu Prairie, especially the areas bordering the Jiuqu Province, are the main gathering places for these cultivation forces.
In the era of the Jiuqu Alliance, these cultivation forces were the first line of defense against the barbarians outside the territory.
At that time, the Jiuqu League did not treat them all as cannon fodder, but still provided assistance to them as much as possible.
The Jiuqu Alliance also uses various means to encourage various cultivation forces within the alliance to establish strongholds in that area.
In order to arrange a retreat, the original Taiyi Sect tried to find a way to acquire a territory there.
After experiencing the Jiuqu League era, it is now under the rule of the Dali Dynasty.
After so many years of ups and downs and various changes, most of these cultivation forces have disappeared. Only a few remnants are still lingering on, but they have long since ceased to exist.
Datong Merchant Alliance and other large merchants easily contacted these remaining sects and controlled them all without spending much money.
From a historical perspective, these sects were all the original owners of the Yuantu Prairie.
When the time comes, merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance will support these sects in order to help them return to their homeland, rebuild the sect, and allow these sects to return to the Yuantu Prairie.
At that time, Taiyi Sect's rule in Yuantu Prairie had begun to collapse.
After these sects returned to the Yuantu Prairie, they were able to stabilize the situation very quickly.
They will appear as saviors, drive away the strong barbarians, and save the human cultivators who were killed by the barbarians.
On the outside, it has the reputation of human justice, and on the inside, it has the full support of big merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance.
These sects will slowly suppress the power of Taiyi Sect, and eventually completely crowd out the Yuantu Prairie.
These sects were originally the puppets of large merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance.
They control the Yuantu Prairie, which means these big businessmen control this place.
The above are the enemy's conspiracy deduced by Meng Zhang and several elders of the sect based on various intelligence and information.
Of course, there are still many details missing. They still don't know some of the enemy's specific plans.
However, with such derivation results, Meng Zhang and the others were very satisfied.
After finding out the enemy hiding behind, it's time to consider how to resist the enemy's attack and how to fight back.
Because of the suppression by Governor Zhang Weineng and the legal restrictions of the Dali Dynasty, these large merchants did not directly attack the Yuantu Prairie under the control of Taiyi Sect, but borrowed the power of the fleeing barbarian strongmen.
Due to the hunting of powerful barbarians organized by Meng Zhang during this period, their most powerful attack method was neutralized by Meng Zhang without causing much damage.
Meng Zhang himself also knew that although many of the fleeing barbarian warriors had been eliminated after many pursuits, there was still a long way to go before they could be killed and completely eliminated.
Meng Zhang was now afraid of the fate and did not dare to continue to use the secret technique to calculate their whereabouts. The hunting of these powerful barbarians could only come to an end temporarily.
Fortunately, after this period of setbacks, they have fully experienced the power of Taiyi Sect. These remaining barbarian strongmen should not dare to come out to cause trouble easily for the time being.
Yuantu Prairie should have a short period of peace, and all major cultivation forces will have a peaceful time to develop.
Of course, unless these powerful barbarians are completely eliminated, the Yuantu Prairie will not usher in true peace.
The pursuit of these powerful barbarians cannot be relaxed, but must be intensified.
Before finding a way to alleviate the disaster, Meng Zhang tried his best not to use the magic of heaven to make calculations.
He could only organize a team of monks and strengthen patrols on the Yuantu Prairie, trying to deter the remaining powerful barbarians.
After losing the means of strong barbarians, large merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance, as long as they do not want to directly go to war with the Taiyi Sect, need to find other ways and means to attack the Taiyi Sect.
Although he had unintentionally neutralized the enemy's most powerful attack, Meng Zhang would not just sit there and wait for the enemy to continue to think of ways to attack Taiyi Sect.
He must immediately counterattack, disrupt the enemy's deployment, and let the enemy see the power of Taiyi Sect.
As a cultivator force under the Dali Dynasty, Meng Zhang cannot directly attack big merchants such as Datong Merchant Alliance.
In the eyes of the senior officials of the Dali Dynasty, large merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance who have been loyal to the dynasty for many years and know the ins and outs of it are obviously more reliable than the Taiyi Sect.
Once the two sides meet, the blame will probably mainly fall on Taiyimen.
Since he could not directly attack large merchants such as Datong Merchant Alliance, Meng Zhang had to choose his attack targets carefully.
Without spending much thought, he selected the group of cultivation sects controlled by Datong Merchant Alliance and others as the target of Taiyi Sect's counterattack.
Speaking of which, this group of cultivation sects and the Taiyi sect have no grudges. They themselves are also victims of the invasion of barbarians from outside the territory, and they can be said to be innocent.
But when they join Datong Merchant Alliance and other big merchants, stand on the opposite side of Taiyi Sect, and become pawns for the enemy to attack Taiyi Sect, then they can only be Taiyi Sect's enemies.
Meng Zhang would never be merciful to his sect's enemies, let alone use ruthless killing methods.
Getting rid of this group of sects who are on the wrong side can not only disrupt the enemy's plans and make them lose their excuse to interfere with the Yuantu Prairie, but it can also scare the enemy and make them think carefully about the consequences of going against the Taiyi Sect.
After selecting the target, Meng Zhang ordered An Moran, the secret hall elder of Taiyi Sect, to mobilize the secret hall disciples to actively explore information related to these cultivation sects.
For example, their specific positions, and how strong are their respective sects?
How many monks do they have, and what level is the strongest among them?
The monks in Taiyi Sect, especially the members of the war hall, also secretly began to mobilize.
