Chapter 567: Burdened with Troubles

Chapter 567: Burdened with Troubles

The place known as Hundred Grass Slope was originally a continuous range of mountains. However, due to the explosion of the magic tool Myriad Layers Peak, a massive explosion destroyed many peaks and disrupted the earth's veins, causing drastic changes in the terrain. When Deep Earth Spirit General organized manpower to repair the Third Rank spirit vein there, he also modified the local terrain to facilitate the next stage of development.

Now, the main terrain in that area consisted of rolling and undulating slopes. With the magic tool Hundred Grass Pavilion placed there, Meng Zhang chose this name for the place. He regarded Hundred Grass Slope as a crucial stronghold, second only to the sect's main gate, and worked hard on its construction. Besides setting up the Third Rank Mountain Protection Great Formation, he also planned to have the Gold Core Daoist Masters from the sect take turns guarding the place.

While Wen Qiansun was arranging the Third Rank Mountain Protection Great Formation at Hundred Grass Slope, Meng Zhang remained at the Grand Lion Ridge. Apart from his daily cultivation, he accumulated calculation tallies to use for the Grand Evolving Fortune.Rêađ latest cha/p/ters at novelhall.com

Meng Zhang became a Grand Master of Heavenly Calculation after entering the Gold Core stage for a long time. After upgrading the Grand Evolving Fortune, it took almost half a year to accumulate a single calculation tally, and the number of tallies required varied based on the complexity of the matter being calculated.

In times of insufficient calculation tallies, Meng Zhang could also use his own life force as a substitute. As a mid-stage Gold Core cultivator, he had at least six to seven hundred years of lifespan. During critical moments, sacrificing a little life force was acceptable.

Currently, Taiyi Sect was in a standoff with Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch, while Flying Swan Sect joined forces with Taiyi Sect. The situation appeared stable, but Meng Zhang still had hidden concerns.

He was not yet worried about True Monarch Profound Wind and True Monarch Mountain Peak. What concerned him most was whether Flying Swan Sect would actively try to join True Monarch Profound Wind or True Monarch Mountain Peak.

In fact, when Meng Zhang realized it was difficult to join the Jiuqu League in Great Wind City, he also entertained thoughts of joining True Monarch Profound Wind or True Monarch Mountain Peak. After all, there were no unresolvable deep-seated grudges between Taiyi Sect and the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs. If he could use True Monarch Tian Zhu's true situation as leverage, perhaps he could gain acceptance from the two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

However, after he had these thoughts, his Diviner's Spiritual Awareness stopped him in time. He had a foreboding feeling that if he really went through with it, he would face a terrible outcome.

Jin Li Daoist Master and the others had previously agreed on a unified statement to the outside world, claiming that all Huang Family cultivators died at the hands of Demonic Cultivation forces. However, the Huang Family members were unwilling to accept such a simple explanation. With their Gold Core Patriarch dead and the elite cultivators suffering heavy casualties, the result was too tragic for them to bear.

Huang Family was, after all, a member of the Jiuqu League and not a rootless, insignificant family. A group of Huang Family cultivators went to the higher-ups of the Jiuqu League to complain, and the higher-ups, bound by the alliance, couldn't turn a blind eye to the matter.

Since Huang Family was stationed in Great Wind City, the higher-ups of the Jiuqu League handed the troublesome matter over to Lu Family to handle. Since Huang Family had joined the war under Jin Li Daoist Master's command, Jin Li Daoist Master naturally bore the greatest responsibility.

The three forces that joined the war together, namely Northern Desert Qi Family, had been exterminated, while Flying Swan Sect now held their territory and had limited interactions with Great Wind City. As Taiyi Sect had a close relationship with Gu Yue Family, Lu Family had to give some face to Gu Yue Family.

Lu Family's cultivators approached Jin Li Daoist Master and asked for an explanation. Jin Li Daoist Master stuck to her original statement: all Huang Family cultivators died at the hands of Demonic Cultivation forces, bravely and gloriously. As for the specific details of the cultivators' deaths, she kept it vague.

This explanation was obviously unsatisfactory to the Huang Family members, who were unwilling to let the matter go. Lu Family couldn't just drop it due to their alliance with Taiyi Sect.

Lu Family gradually sent several Gold Core Daoist Masters to create trouble for Jin Li Daoist Master under the pretext of exchanging experiences. They were not a match for Jin Li Daoist Master alone but relied on their numerical advantage, ganging up to bully her.
