The Way of the Immortal Master

A disciple of a big sect like Xiao Qiao is always so self-righteous.

Once he has decided on something in his heart, he will insist on it and stick to it.

Now, he thinks that the monster army's attack on Meng Zhang is just a bait, and he wants to lead the army to rescue him, and then take the opportunity to ambush the army led by him on the way.

What Meng Zhang encountered was not the main force of the monster army. The main force of the monster army had been preparing to ambush him.

"Meng Zhang is a waste, just encountered a group of monsters, and he was in a mess, asking for help indiscriminately, and almost ruined the big thing."

Under the resentment in his heart, Xiao Qiao couldn't help cursing in front of everyone, as if he had completely forgotten that Meng Zhang had saved him, and he was also full of gratitude to Meng Zhang at the beginning.

As for why the monsters didn't retain their main force in both directions, it was because Xiao Qiao believed that the monster army didn't have such strength.

If the army of monsters really had such a strong strength, they would have come directly to the door and wiped out the remaining monks in the Daheng Cultivation Realm.

He still believes that as long as the expeditionary army led by Meng Zhang successfully joins forces with him, and the two sides work together, they can defeat the monster army.

In this way, Xiao Qiao, who thought he had seen through the monster's conspiracy, remained on the sidelines, ignoring Meng Zhang's situation at all.

In order to avoid greater losses, he didn't even send out any more scouting teams.

Meng Zhang used space teleportation, and together with Zhenjun Nanzhu, got rid of Xiang Huanan, and soon joined the evacuated human monks.

After getting rid of the monster's pursuit, the aquarium army and the human monks fled far away in one breath, and only found a safe place to stay temporarily.

This is a huge lake, where several large and small rivers converge.

The human monks were recuperating and recuperating on the shore beside the lake.

The aquarium army is also slowly rectifying in the lake.

After this battle, not only the human monks suffered heavy losses, but the Aqua army also paid a heavy price.

The Shui army didn't really participate in the battle for a long time, but in such a short period of time, they lost almost a quarter of their strength.

The strength of the monster was beyond everyone's expectations, and the son of the Mermaid King, who had made some contributions and exorcised the monster's mind, also became sluggish.

When Meng Zhang and Zhenjun Nanzhu came to meet up, looking at the large area of ​​remnant soldiers and defeated generals below, Meng Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The total number of expeditionary troops on this expedition exceeded 30,000.

However, many of the low-level monks are just making up numbers and have no combat effectiveness.

In addition, many of the conscripted production monks who are good at alchemy, refining tools, and talisman making are also arranged in the logistics department of the army. If it is not a last resort, they will not be asked to go to the battlefield.

And the more than 5,000 monks dispatched this time are not only elites, but also basically combat monks.

After this battle, it was only a rough count, and the remaining number was less than a thousand.

Of course, many monks fell on the battlefield at that time and were separated from the brigade.

If luck is too good to go against the sky, some monks may survive.

With this defeat, the expeditionary army was seriously injured.

Of course, this defeat is also related to Meng Zhang's selfish distractions.

If he had brought the entire expeditionary army here instead of saving his strength, the outcome would be hard to say.

But Meng Zhang didn't do this, and he chose the cannon fodder monk in advance.

That's because Meng Zhang always firmly remembers one thing, he is the head of the Taiyi Sect, and the Taiyi Sect is his foundation.

If he leads all the expeditionary troops out, encounters such an ambush, and fights against the monsters.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the expeditionary army must have suffered heavy losses.

If the monks of Taiyimen lost all of them, even if the monster was defeated and the evil disaster was quelled, it would not be good for Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang is willing to participate in the battle to quell the evil disaster, but the premise is that the Taiyimen monks will not suffer too much loss.

Without enough Taiyi sect monks, he would not even be able to hold the territory of the Daheng Cultivation Realm, even the Jiuqu Province.

Meng Zhang knew even more in his heart that it was precisely because he had the powerful Taiyi sect under him that in the eyes of Ziyang Shengzong, he had enough use value.

If you don't use your brain and use up all the strength in your hands, it will be really difficult to gain a foothold in the future.

Conversely, even if the evil disaster spreads, it even spreads to the Jiuqu Province. As long as you have enough strength at hand, you can completely abandon your current foundation and start a new business elsewhere.

Moreover, after Xiao Qiao's unreliability was exposed this time, Meng Zhang couldn't rest assured to fight monsters, and had to watch his own back.

The Ziyang Sacred Sect sent monks like Xiao Qiao to preside over the overall situation. In order to protect himself, Meng Zhang wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible.

Now that he was separated from the monster and the communication magic weapon can be used normally, Meng Zhang contacted Xiao Qiao again.

The communication had just resumed, and before Meng Zhang had time to speak, Xiao Qiao was greeted with a scathing accusation.

Xiao Qiao accused Meng Zhang of being too timid and only knowing how to preserve his strength.

When encountering a monster, I didn't even know the strength of the monster, so I hurriedly asked for help, and almost missed a big deal.

Meng Zhang was stunned for a moment, almost bewildered by the scolding.

Both the human monk army and the aquatic army suffered heavy losses, and they managed to escape with great difficulty. Can all this be faked?

Xiao Qiao didn't listen to Meng Zhang's explanation at all, and just scolded him, thinking that Meng Zhang was easy to bully.

After scolding, Xiao Qiao gave the order without waiting for Meng Zhang to react.

Want Meng Zhang to lead the army to join him as soon as possible, there must be no further delay.

If Meng Zhang delays the military plane, don't blame him for not missing the old love.

Meng Zhang was too lazy to argue with him, knowing that it was useless to argue.

Meng Zhang ended the call directly, not caring about Xiao Qiao's possible reaction at all.

Meng Zhang gave him face because of Ziyang Shengzong.

Since the other party is so rude, he is not polite.

Meng Zhang could see clearly that the losses incurred in this battle were enough to shut Ziyang Shengzong's mouth.

Even if Xiao Qiao wants to put pressure on Meng Zhang through the sect, Meng Zhang has something to say.

At present, Meng Zhang still has a lot of use value, and the senior officials of Ziyang Shengzong must not be so indiscriminate and blindly favor Xiao Qiao.

Leaving Ziyang Sacred Sect, a mere Xiaoqiao is not considered by Meng Zhang at all.

Meng Zhang didn't even think about dealing with Xiao Qiao now, let alone accepting his random orders.

After the Shui tribe army and the human monks have finished their rest, Meng Zhang will lead everyone to retreat together and return to the Shui tribe's lair.

It wasn't just Meng Zhang's army of monks who paid huge losses this time.

With the huge loss of the Shui Clan army and the monsters in the Black Jade Forest, this matter may not end so easily.
