The Way of the Immortal Master

Meng Zhang did not rush to explain, but instead acted as if he had said, "I have said all, you can believe it or not."

The Qixiang Demon Saint, who originally did not believe Meng Zhang, could not help but think more when he saw Meng Zhang like this.

In the cultivation world, Meng Zhang has always been famous for keeping his word and keeping his word.

It is precisely this kind of person with good reputation that once he starts to deceive people, he often makes the deceived people unprepared, and he can easily succeed.

Last time in Guixu, Qixiang Demon Saint was also deceived by Meng Zhang for this reason.

Later, because of his unwillingness in his heart, he secretly followed Meng Zhang, which led to a series of events afterwards.

Now, although Meng Zhang did not say it explicitly, his words were hinting that the ancient treasure Demon Slaying Platform fell into the hands of Peng Zhengjinxian.

Qixiang Demon Saint thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had never heard of any major grievances between Meng Zhang and Peng Zhengjinxian.

The only conflict between them was the last incident in Guixu.

At that time, Qixiang Demon Saint himself was also present and was a participant.

If Meng Zhang wanted to make enemies with Peng Zheng Jinxian and frame him, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Meng Zhang's reputation has always been that he is not a narrow-minded person. He did not suffer any loss in the last conflict. Instead, he took advantage of the other party and ruined the other party's good deeds.

Moreover, the small group that Peng Zheng Jinxian belongs to is famous, and Qi Xiang Yao Sheng has heard of it for a long time.

Meng Zhang should not provoke the other party for no reason, right?

...

Qi Xiang Yao Sheng thought a lot, and had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He didn't know whether he should believe Meng Zhang.

From a rational point of view, he should not believe Meng Zhang.

Not only did the other party have a history of deceiving him, but the other party also had no goodwill towards the demon clan.

But in his heart, he was too eager for the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform.

Last time, he was just a little bit away from getting the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform.

Lu Wei Yao Sheng not only told him how to use the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform to create a secret realm and how to activate the secret realm, but also promised to hand over the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform to him.

It was only later that Yan Sen Jin Xian pushed him too hard, which made him miss the opportunity.

He hated Yan Sen Jin Xian extremely in his heart.

After knowing that he was suppressed by Meng Zhang and He Tu Jin Xian, he shouted that he deserved it.

The stronger emotion in his heart was deep resentment.

Seeing that he was only one step away from getting the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform, but he missed it, he was really regretful afterwards.

Many times, he couldn't help thinking in his heart.

If he didn't run away in a hurry, and stayed to find the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform, would the result be different?

Originally, he ran to ask Meng Zhang with the idea of ​​just in case, but learned the whereabouts of the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform from him, and he even felt a little bit of lost and found it.

His strong resentment in his heart and his extreme desire for the Ancient Treasure Demon Slaying Platform made him want to believe the other party even though he knew that Meng Zhang was likely to deceive him.

Many times, liars can only deceive the other party by saying what the other party wants to hear.

The deceived only believe what they want to believe.

This is true for mortals, and even the strong men at the Golden Immortal level cannot avoid this mentality.

Although the Qixiang Demon Saint controlled his expression very well, Meng Zhang still guessed that he had been moved.

At this time, Meng Zhang did not strike while the iron was hot, but took a step back.

He told the Qixiang Demon Saint that he did not want to make enemies with him because of the misleading incident in Guixu last time, so he revealed some of his experiences at the time.

As for who the ancient treasure demon beheading platform fell into, or whether it was completely destroyed when the secret realm exploded, he was not very clear.

After saying this, Meng Zhang pretended to be impatient, and quickly said goodbye to the Qixiang Demon Saint, and left here in a hurry.

Looking at Meng Zhang's leaving figure, the Qixiang Demon Saint wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Meng Zhang had said all he could, and even if he kept the other party, he couldn't ask for more information.

As for taking Meng Zhang down and forcing him to question him, he couldn't do it at all.

Instead of wasting time on Meng Zhang, it is better to communicate with Peng Zheng Jinxian to see if he can find out anything from him.

If Peng Zheng Jinxian really got the ancient treasure Demon Slaying Platform, he is willing to pay enough to exchange it.

If Peng Zheng Jinxian denies it, it means that Meng Zhang is lying and cheating him again. He will settle accounts with Meng Zhang in the future.

After thinking it over, Qi Xiang Yao Sheng did not stay here and left directly.

Meng Zhang, who seemed to have been far away from here, secretly appeared not far away and followed him secretly.

After these years of practice, Meng Zhang's cultivation has improved rapidly and has caught up with and surpassed Qi Xiang Yao Sheng.

As the number one force in the void, the Taoist sect has many advantages in its cultivation system, surpassing many cultivation systems and races in the void.

In most cases, Jinxians with the same cultivation are stronger than Yao Sheng.

Taoist Jinxians often have more means and more magical powers.

Once Meng Zhang, a Jinxian with top inheritance, catches up with Qi Xiang Yao Sheng in cultivation, he will surpass Qi Xiang Yao Sheng in every aspect.

Especially in recent years, he has gone deep into the chaos many times, and his ability to restrain his breath and hide his tracks has been greatly improved.

He is now secretly following the Qixiang Demon Saint, and the other party has not noticed it at all.

Peng Zhengjinxian and his group are not low-key, and their tracks are not difficult to find.

Originally, the Qixiang Demon Saint wanted to go directly to Peng Zhengjinxian to ask, but he thought of the fact that the relationship between the demon race and the Taoist sect was not harmonious, and he had a conflict with the other party in Guixu before.

Although the conflict was misled and exploited by Meng Zhang, Peng Zhengjinxian was not an open-minded person, and he probably did not have a good impression of the Qixiang Demon Saint.

The Qixiang Demon Saint hesitated for a moment and decided to use courtesy before force, and try to avoid conflict with the other party.

Although everyone is of the same level, the Taoist Jinxian is stronger than the demon race demon saint.

It is said that Peng Zhengjinxian's small group is also famous for its arrogance.

Not to mention the demon race, even the Taoist fellows do not think much of it.

The Qixiang Demon Saint just came to the door, and it was a small matter to get a cold shoulder, but he was afraid that it would delay the business.

Although the Taoist sect and the demon race are often hostile, many members of both sides have contacts and even collusion in secret.

The Strange Elephant Demon Saint was going to find a middleman so that he and Peng Zheng Jinxian could sit down and have a good talk.

He began to think about who would be the middleman, and soon he had a target.

When the Strange Elephant Demon Saint was running, Meng Zhang had been secretly following behind.

He and Qian Yuan Jinxian had long anticipated the other party's actions after he met with the Strange Elephant Demon Saint, and had made certain responses.

Now Meng Zhang has been keeping an eye on the Strange Elephant Demon Saint, and many things will be handed over to Qian Yuan Jinxian to do.

While Meng Zhang was busy tracking the Strange Elephant Demon Saint, Tai Miao in the underworld also began to calm down and began to think about some major things.

In the previous external expansion actions, with the support of some Taoist forces, Tai Miao's side won a great victory, basically achieved its goal, and seized a lot of new territories...

Hostile forces such as the Earth Mother God System, the Red Sea God System, and the Yunmen Sect all suffered considerable losses and had to retreat temporarily.

Those Hades who hindered Meng Zhang's expansion did not end up in person in the end.

After the failure of the agent they supported, they seemed to have accepted this result and did not take any more actions.

This is also a normal state of fighting in the underworld.

The struggle between the underworld kings is often a proxy war, and the underworld kings rarely participate in the war directly.

Tai Miao, the underworld king, has too little experience, insufficient accumulation, no strong enough subordinates, and no capable agents.

Therefore, many times he had to go down and fight early.

When he became stronger in the future, there would not be many times when it would be his turn to take action personally.

Those underworld lords who were targeted by Tai Miao for expansion, after losing external aid, could not resist Tai Miao's attack with their own strength.

Not to mention, after Tai Miao received support from the Taoist sect, the strength of his army increased greatly, and there were many high-level ghosts and gods, including powerful gods in the late stage of the gods.

Those underworld lords either surrendered or were crushed by Tai Miao directly...

The newly occupied territories of Tai Miao are not small, and compared with his original territories, these newly occupied territories are obviously much richer, with more production, and more ghosts and gods living on them...

Tai Miao's subordinates already have rich experience in how to consolidate the newly occupied territories, govern, track down the remaining enemies, suppress disobedience, etc.

However, these newly occupied territories are far away from his original territories, separated by large tracts of wasteland.

The previous expedition cost a lot of money, and it would cost a lot of manpower and material resources to completely bring these lords under Tai Miao's rule.

In addition, in order to reward the various forces of the Taoist sect who came to help, Tai Miao not only owed favors, but also had to give up a lot of benefits.

Such as paying a huge amount of resources and giving up part of the newly occupied territory...

Tai Miao also had to come out to communicate with these strong men who came to reinforce and thank them for their efforts...

In a word, Tai Miao spent a lot of time after the war to finish various follow-up matters, and finally had some free time.

When he was free, he had time to slowly think about this expansion and its consequences.

Through this expansion, he not only attracted a lot of enemies, but also had a preliminary understanding of the ecology and competition between the Hades in the underworld.

Among the many Hades in the underworld, there are loners and gangs...

The relationship between each other is complicated, and it is often difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends, and there are many things like alliances.

Most of the Hades in the underworld often have no goodwill towards the new Hades.

They often instinctively hinder the growth and expansion of other Hades.

Because of Meng Zhang, Tai Miao was incorporated into the Taoist system shortly after he became the Queen of Hades.

When he was expanding abroad before, it seemed that the Taoist forces did not provide him with help at first.

However, as a member of the Dao Sect, he had already started to enjoy various benefits.

The Hades Emperors who belonged to the Dao Sect and the Hades Emperors who were friendly with the Dao Sect would not actively support Tai Miao, nor would they actively hinder him, let alone attack him.

For the sake of the Dao Sect, many Hades Emperors would be cautious and would not act easily even if they disliked Tai Miao and wanted to do something to Tai Miao.

The existence of many Dao Sect Hades Emperors was the greatest support for Tai Miao.

…

It was precisely because of the support of the Dao Sect that Tai Miao did not encounter more obstacles.

This time, the support of the Dao Sect in the underworld played a big role.

He was beginning to consider whether to reach a long-term cooperation agreement with these forces that had come to support him before?

His expansion in the underworld cannot be limited to this time.

After digesting the spoils of this expansion and consolidating the newly occupied territory, he will probably start the next expansion soon.

If he has the support of those Taoist forces, although he may give up a lot of benefits, his own strength will be stronger and the expansion will become much smoother.

In fact, those strong men who came to reinforce Tai Miao this time were very satisfied with Tai Miao's subsequent rewards. They felt that Tai Miao was generous and a good partner.

If Tai Miao continued to cooperate with them, they would not reject it.

Both parties hit it off and were willing to continue to be friends, deepen relations, increase exchanges, and increase more cooperation...

Tai Miao began to slowly experience the benefits brought by the Taoist system.

Of course, while enjoying the benefits of the Taoist identity, he also had to pay.

Those resources and territorial contributions are trivial matters. The biggest contribution is that his future position is basically limited.

He cannot openly harm the interests of the Taoist sect, must keep a distance from the enemies of the Taoist sect, cannot easily become enemies with the friends of the Taoist sect, and must be restricted when choosing the objects of alliance and must obey the overall situation of the Taoist sect...

Of course, the Taoist system is relatively loose in the Yang world, let alone in the underworld.

There are many forces within the Taoist sect, the situation is complicated, and each force has its own interests and considerations...

Taimiao will not completely become a thug and tool of the Taoist sect.

It's just that his future actions and various major policies must be carried out within the framework of the Taoist sect.

For example, if the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect start a full-scale war in the future, he must stand on the side of the Taoist sect and participate in the war, and cannot stay out of it.

On weekdays, he is still relatively free to act, and he only needs to support the Taoist sect on major issues, at least to save face.

In the past, Taimiao was a loner and self-reliant, and at most he got help from the main body Meng Zhang.

Now as a member of the Taoist sect, he has more to rely on and has greater ambitions as he establishes and expands in the underworld.

He is not satisfied with being just one of the many underworld emperors in the underworld. He wants to become a strong and even overlord among the underworld emperors.

He is not satisfied with dominating one side. He wants to be respected and domineering in the entire underworld.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of Buddhism is his next goal to catch up with and the object of emulation.

He knows that although he has not fought head-on with other underworld emperors for the time being, as he realizes his ambitions step by step, he will inevitably become enemies with other underworld emperors and start a head-on war.

If he wants to realize his ambitions, the strength of ordinary underworld emperors is far from enough. It is best to have the invincible strength of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld.
