Chapter 1242 Grand Ceremony
Everyone gathered together and came to the sect hall of Taiyi Sect.
After a few routine greetings, Meng Zhang stopped talking nonsense and went directly to the topic.
He invited the four sects of Changchun Temple, Jiqiao Sect, Huanglian Sect and Huolieshan Sect to formally join the Hanhai Taoist Alliance led by Taiyi Sect.
Of course, because these four sects were originally independent Yuanshen sects, unlike the current members of the Hanhai Dao Alliance, they are basically all vassals of the Taiyi sect.
After they joined the Hanhai Dao League, their status was naturally different.
Meng Zhang offered very good conditions to recruit these four sects.
After they join the Hanhai Dao League, they have a high status, a certain degree of autonomy, and can enjoy many benefits.
As for the specific details, the monks from several sects can slowly negotiate with Taiyi Sect in the future.
In short, Meng Zhang will not let everyone suffer.
Everyone joins the Hanhai Dao Alliance and truly becomes a family with the Taiyi Sect. In the future, we can help each other and deal with the outside world together.
Compared to the nameless little alliance before, the Hanhai Dao Alliance is more majestic.
In the past, Meng Zhang established an unknown small alliance in order to unify the cultivation forces in the north of Jiuqu Province.
Although Meng Zhang is the leader of this small alliance, he does not have much control over the entire alliance.
At the beginning of the establishment of the minor alliance, various cultivation forces were still very afraid of the Taiyi Sect. Not only were there many restrictions on the leader, Meng Zhang, but even the headquarters of the alliance was placed on the Huanglian Holy Mountain, the headquarters of the Huanglian Sect.
After these cultivation forces join the Hanhai Dao Alliance, they will never be in the same situation as before.
As the leader of the Hanhai Taoist Alliance, Meng Zhang has absolute authority over the various cultivating forces under his command. He can forcefully order them, and none of them dare to disobey.
In fact, Meng Zhang has been controlling the previously unknown small alliance through various means, and has been continuously strengthening his ties with various cultivation forces.
Huanglian Sect has the closest relationship with Taiyi Sect. Changchun Guan and Jiqiao Sect are increasingly inseparable from Taiyi Sect, and Huo Lieshan is unwilling to confront Taiyi Sect head-on.
After experiencing the battle to eliminate the Shangguan family, this small alliance has actually been completely controlled by the Taiyi Sect, but it lacks a name.
Now that everyone has officially joined the Hanhai Dao Alliance, we have officially become a group.
Xu Mengying of the Huanglian Sect had reached an agreement with Meng Zhang before.
True Lord Jiqiao of Jiqiao Sect and True Lord Changchun of Changchun Temple did not dare to disobey Meng Zhang's wishes.
True Lord Huolie is not a fool. Knowing the current situation, he cannot help but refuse.
Finally, all the True Lords of Yuanshen present represented their respective cultivation forces and expressed their willingness to join the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
Strike while the iron is hot. After everyone agreed, Meng Zhang immediately announced that he would hold a grand ceremony to celebrate everyone's joining.
Originally, it might be that Lord Huolie and others were interested in delaying the discussion for a while about their future status and treatment in the Dao Alliance.
But in the face of Meng Zhang's pressing pressure, they had no choice but to delay.
After Lord Huolie and the others agreed to join the Hanhai Dao Alliance, they immediately rushed back to the sect to discuss with the senior leaders of the sect.
Since they knew that joining the Hanhai Dao Alliance was inevitable, they naturally had to work hard to obtain various benefits for their sect.
Several sects have sent special teams to the Taiyi Gate to discuss the specific matters of joining the Hanhai Dao Alliance with the Taiyi Gate.
They were negotiating intensively, and many details had not been settled before the grand celebration began.
At Baicaopo, Taiyimen Mountain Gate, Taiyimen showered invitations, inviting guests from all over the world to come and participate in this celebration.
Except for Wu Rift Valley, all the cultivation forces in the north of Jiuqu Province have become members of the Hanhai Dao Alliance.
The guests invited this time were mainly the major cultivation forces in the south of Jiuqu Province. Among them, the representative of the official forces of the Dali Dynasty, Governor Zhang Weineng, was also invited.
All major cultivation forces in the southern Jiuqu Province bought the favor of the great monk Meng Zhang and sent envoys to congratulate him.
Even casual cultivators like Zhenjun Xuanfeng came to congratulate him in person despite serving in official positions in the Dali Dynasty.
Governor Zhang Weineng certainly did not want to see the cultivation forces in the north of Jiuqu Province basically wiped out by the Taiyi Sect, and almost all of them joined the Hanhai Taoist Alliance.
But at this time, he didn't have the ability to forcefully stop it.
He wouldn't force a war with Taiyi Sect because of this matter.
Although he is a provincial governor with great power, he still cannot act arbitrarily and has to face many constraints.
Especially now that the situation is delicate, many cultivation forces in the south of Jiuqu Province need his comfort.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Weineng sent Zhenjun Wen Dong as his envoy to attend the ceremony.
As for large foreign merchants such as the Datong Merchant Alliance, Meng Zhang treated them as if they did not exist. If anything happened, he would never say hello.
While holding the ceremony, Taiyimen also did something else.
Under the organization of the Dark Hall monks, Taiyi Sect conducted a top-to-bottom cleanup within its own sect and within the Hanhai Taoist Alliance, and comprehensively eliminated the monks who colluded with the official Dali Dynasty.
Taiyi Sect is okay, the rules in the sect are strict, and the monks all know the importance. However, there are many monks in the Hanhai Dao League who have done some things they shouldn't have done.
As the leader of the secret hall, An Moran took full charge of this operation.
Meng Zhang didn't want to go to war, let alone conduct a bloody internal purge.
Taiyi Sect is nominally a cultivation force under the Dali Dynasty.
Whether it is a disciple of the Taiyi Sect or a monk of the Hanhai Taoist Alliance, it is only natural for them to have normal interactions with the official monks of the Dali Dynasty.
Of course, there must be someone among them secretly colluding with each other and betraying information about Taiyi Sect and Hanhai Dao Alliance.
Even many exchanges of interest and various transactions are unavoidable.
An Moran followed Meng Zhang's wishes and did not blindly expand the scope of the attack.
Some monks who did something too obvious and betrayed the interests of the Hanhai Dao Alliance became targets of killing chickens to scare monkeys.
An Moran cleaned up a small number of monks and warned and shocked the rest.
Antang's actions this time showed the attitude of the upper echelons of Taiyi Sect, especially Meng Zhang.
The Dali Dynasty was an outsider, maybe even an enemy.
When interacting with monks from the Dali Dynasty, it is best for everyone to have a bottom line and not to cross it easily.
Meng Zhang did not like the official power of the Dali Dynasty, and showed some hostility.
All the monks in the Hanhai Dao Alliance were warned and knew how to behave in the future.
Suddenly, the Hanhai Dao League began to slowly cut off official ties with the Dali Dynasty.
The members of the Hanhai Taoist Alliance who had originally befriended the official monks of the Dali Dynasty were busy severing contacts with each other and drawing clear boundaries.
