The Way of the Immortal Master

Because of Meng Zhang's series of actions, Zhang Weineng was completely cut off from all foreign aid.

Zhang Weineng can only rely on the strength in the camp to fight against the coalition forces of Taiyimen and Shuizu.

Zhang Weineng couldn't say how long the camp without reinforcements could last.

Niu Dawei, as the head disciple of the Taiyi Sect, was placed with high hopes by Meng Zhang and carefully cultivated.

He has had many experiences of being alone, commanding the army under his command with ease.

Because the raid team from Taiyi Gate came too fast, not only did Zhang Weineng's camp not have much preparation, but he also had no time to gather the troops scattered throughout Jiuqu Province.

An important pillar of the Dali Dynasty in the Jiuqu Province is the Zhenbei army under Zhang Weineng.

But what Zhang Weineng can command now is only a part of the Zhenbei army.

In other important strongholds in Jiuqu Province, such as Yujian Mountain, the original mountain gate of Yujianmen, many partial divisions of the Zhenbei Army have been stationed, and a lot of strength has been dispersed.

The sudden rebellion of the Shui tribe caught the Zhenbei army by surprise.

The rebellion near the limit caused heavy casualties to the Zhenbei army stationed around.

Due to the ambiguous attitude of the local comprehension forces, the local garrison is also difficult to mobilize.

Taiyimen's follow-up reinforcements are rushing to the south of Jiuqu Province continuously, launching fierce attacks along the way.

Even if they were scattered throughout the Jiuqu Province, the forces still loyal to the Dali Dynasty were busy coping with the subsequent waves of Taiyimen's offensive, and were unable to support Zhang Weineng's camp.

After Niu Dawei contacted the Mermaid King, he quickly formed a temporary coalition.

Due to the destruction of Jiuqu City and the interruption of communication with Dali Dynasty, Zhang Weineng has not been able to get enough supplies.

Even with the help of big merchants such as the Datong Business Alliance, he can barely maintain the supply of supplies for his army.

Facing the threat of the Ziyang Sacred Sect, he should not wantonly raid the Jiuqu Province, so as not to cause panic and affect the rule of the Dali Dynasty over the Jiuqu Province.

There were not enough resources to build a new big city. This camp, which was originally a temporary emergency camp, had to be preserved and became a semi-permanent building, which has been used until now.

Although the camp is protected by a fourth-tier mountain guard formation, it has many loopholes.

Zhang Weineng himself never intended to make this camp impregnable.

In his heart, he is more inclined to take the initiative to attack and fight actively.

The battalion, which was already deficient in defense, faced a real challenge in the face of the coalition forces of Taiyimen and Shuizu.

Although Niu Dawei is outside the camp, information from all sides is being continuously passed to him.

He knew that his plan was implemented very smoothly, and everything was carried out according to the original plan.

On other fronts, the Taiyimen side has a great advantage.

Niu Dawei, who was granted the right to make decisions on the fly by Meng Zhang, did not forcefully launch an attack on the camp regardless of the cost.

Instead, let Wen Qiansuan find out the weakness of the big camp's defense formation, launch targeted attacks, minimize his own losses, and slowly consume the enemy's strength.

The mermaid king's thoughts were not on the big camp in front of him.

He at least divided more than half of the Shui tribe army to capture the stronghold of the Dali Dynasty and seize more territories, with the focus on occupying the territory on both sides of the Jiuqu River.

The reason why the mermaid king dispatched troops so happily this time was because of the benefits promised by the envoy of the Ziyang Sacred Sect, apart from the consideration of quelling the evil disaster.

During this battle, all the territories captured by the Mermaid King led the Aquarium army will belong to the Aquarium permanently after the war.

Mermaid King's desire to leave a way out on the Jiuqu Province was not entirely an excuse to deceive Zhang Weineng.

He really wanted to occupy enough territory in the Jiuqu Province to house the aquarium.

If the evil disaster in Daheng Cultivation Realm continues to spread and cannot be subsided in time, the aquarium in the upper reaches of the Jiuqu River may slowly migrate to the territory of Jiuqu Province.

The long Jiuqu River runs through the territory of Jiuqu Province, with many tributaries and wide waters.

There is enough land here to accommodate the relocated aquarium.

The environment here is also suitable for aquarium survival.

The Mermaid King, who had other thoughts, naturally didn't pay all his attention to the battle in front of him.

Of course, the mermaid king still has a minimum of rationality, knowing that if he doesn't break the big camp in front of him and completely wipe out the official power of the Dali Dynasty, he will not be able to occupy the territory of Jiuqu Province with peace of mind.

The old and cunning Zhang Weineng never imagined in advance that because of a moment of carelessness, he actually led the wolf into the house like this.

Originally, Xiao Liang promised the territory of Jiuqu Province to Meng Zhang long ago.

According to the conditions he gave in the Heavenly Palace, after the event is completed, the Taiyi Gate can not only rule the Jiuqu Province, but also wantonly expand in the Daheng Cultivation Realm.

But the envoy of the Ziyang Sacred Sect actually connived at the expansion of the Shui tribe in the Jiuqu Province.

Marrying one daughter twice is definitely not a momentary negligence, but a stratagem of the Ziyang Sacred Sect.

For Yuanshen sects like Taiyi Sect, no matter how respectful Meng Zhang was, Ziyang Sacred Sect still had instinctive defenses.

Introducing the power of the Shui tribe in Jiuqu Province is a restraint on Taiyimen.

The vast territory of Jiuqu Province is enough to give birth to many Yuanshen sects, and the Taiyi sect is absolutely not allowed to dominate.

The main goal now is to eliminate the influence of the Dali Dynasty in Jiuqu Province first, and then Ziyang Shengzong will use the power of Taiyimen to quell the evil disaster.

So many things, Ziyang Shengzong did it very covertly, and even used the hands of the Shui tribe to compete with Taiyimen for territory.

After everything is over and the overall situation is settled, it is conceivable that the Ziyang Sect has more means to restrict and control the Taiyi Sect.

Of course, everyone in the Taiyi Sect, including Meng Zhang, knew nothing about it.

Even if Meng Zhang knew it now, he had already boarded the thief ship of Ziyang Shengzong, and he could not get off the ship halfway, so he could only grit his teeth and endure, acquiescing to the status quo.

The Taiyi Gate team led by Niu Dawei and the Shui Tribe army led by the Mermaid King began to attack the camp in front of them in turn.

The combination of the two is much stronger than the Zhenbei Army and other monks in the camp.

Perhaps in terms of low-level combat power, Niu Dawei and the others are much weaker.

But in terms of top-level combat effectiveness, Niu Dawei and the others have an absolute advantage.

The Mermaid King has the strength of the late Yuanshen, and Zhenjun Nanzhu is a great monk in the late Yuanshen, not to mention Zhenjun Qiaomei and Zhenjun Hansong.

Zhang Weineng, the only great monk in the late Yuanshen period in the camp, was seriously injured and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

After the war started, he appeared in front of everyone, commanding and issuing orders one by one, and personally commanding and organizing the defense of the camp.

But from the beginning to the end, he avoided direct confrontation with the hostile monks of the same rank.

Even if he really couldn't escape and had to make a move, he used the power of the fourth-order mountain protection formation to fight Zhenjun Nanzhu and the others.
