Chapter 813: Chapter 813
He LuoTrue Monarch's character was highly prais
He LuoTrue Monarch's character was highly praised within the Jiuqu League and received the admiration of many. Meng Zhang disregarded his past grievances with He LuoTrue Monarch and extended a helping hand to him, saving him from the pursuers of the Dali Dynasty. This was not only due to a sense of camaraderie against a common enemy but also because of He LuoTrue Monarch's excellent character.
In the current Cultivation World, such a grateful and virtuous person like He LuoTrue Monarch was rare. Meng Zhang didn't expect anything in return but wished to establish a positive relationship with someone like him.
He LuoTrue Monarch did not disappoint Meng Zhang. He not only easily let go of any grudges but also took the initiative to repay the favor.
As far as Meng Zhang knew, He LuoTrue Monarch had escorted True Monarch Azure Mist's Primordial Spirit back to Azure Origin Sect. Along the way, he learned about Qing Gu True Monarch's betrayal and Azure Origin Sect's sudden changes, and he firmly sided with True Monarch Azure Peak.
As for True Monarch Azure Mist's Primordial Spirit, it had not been seen ever since. There were various speculations: some said it had taken over another body, while others claimed it willingly entered the Netherworld, walking the path of a Ghost Deity. But with He LuoTrue Monarch not revealing anything, no one knew the exact truth.
He LuoTrue Monarch's assistance was crucial in helping True Monarch Azure Peak and his disciples escape from the pursuing forces and reach the northern region of Jiuqu League.
Regarding the death of True Monarch Azure Peak, He LuoTrue Monarch had his doubts. He did not hide this fact from Meng Zhang, as keeping things unclear might bring trouble to Meng Zhang.
He wasn't foolish enough to directly accuse Jade Sword Sect of foul play in this matter. Instead, he criticized Jade Sword Sect for not protecting True Monarch Azure Peak, their loyal comrade, and failing to provide timely assistance, which led to his demise at the hands of the Dali Dynasty.
Jade Sword Sect found themselves in an awkward position. There were many cultivators within the Jiuqu League who doubted the circumstances of True Monarch Azure Peak's death, but Jade Sword Sect couldn't easily defend themselves by stating that they would never act against the greater good or plot against True Monarch Azure Peak.
Dealing with someone like He LuoTrue Monarch, who openly expressed dissatisfaction, was challenging for Jade Sword Sect. Although they were currently the dominant force in the Jiuqu League, they couldn't afford to suppress everyone internally, especially with the watchful eyes of White Sun Valley cultivators and Purple Yang Holy Sect from the outside.
He LuoTrue Monarch's voluntary departure was a relief for Jade Sword Sect. The farther away this annoying and nonsensical person went, the better it would be for them.
Unexpectedly, due to the death of True Monarch Azure Peak, Meng Zhang gained a powerful ally. Meng Zhang and He LuoTrue Monarch had no personal grudges; they had fought in the past due to their differing stances, but those unpleasant memories had long been forgotten by both of them.

With He LuoTrue Monarch's help, even if the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan and their Barbarian King Shali Eagle regained their strength and launched a full-scale counterattack, Taiyi Sect would not be afraid.
In a moment of thought, Meng Zhang considered launching an offensive against the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan while He LuoTrue Monarch was present. However, he quickly abandoned the idea as the benefits of such an action would not be significant, even if they achieved a resounding victory.Regardless of whether True Monarch Azure Peak's death is related to Jade Sword Sect or not, the situation in the Jiuqu League does not look good.
In such circumstances, Taiyi Sect naturally needed to preserve its strength as much as possible to deal with future changes.
He LuoTrue Monarch stayed within the Taiyi Sect's main camp.
Meng Zhang admired him to some extent but still couldn't fully trust him, so he remained cautious.
Meng Zhang didn't share his own thoughts with He LuoTrue Monarch; he only said that the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan was powerful, and the timing for launching a full-scale war was not ripe yet, so they needed to continue waiting.
He LuoTrue Monarch's main goal was to leave the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain and not have to face the Jade Sword Sect cultivators anymore, not necessarily to start a war immediately.
As long as Taiyi Sect and the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan remained in a stalemate, He LuoTrue Monarch was content.
With He LuoTrue Monarch as reinforcement, Meng Zhang certainly intended to make use of him.
From time to time, he would showcase their strength and intimidate the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan outside their camp with He LuoTrue Monarch.
Meng Zhang's intimidation had indeed worked.
Originally, after Barbarian King Shali Eagle recovered from his injuries, the two Barbarian Kings would have had some thoughts of counterattacking. However, upon seeing that Taiyi Sect had added another Primordial Spirit True Monarch to their side, they immediately abandoned the idea of a counterattack. They obediently followed the orders of the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan's higher-ups, preserving their strength and avoiding a full-scale war with Taiyi Sect.
True Monarch Grey Mountain recognized He LuoTrue Monarch and knew that he was not weak in power.
He cursed Meng Zhang's luck for attracting such a powerful expert to their side.
With the addition of He LuoTrue Monarch, the balance of power tipped back in favor of Taiyi Sect.
Neither Taiyi Sect nor the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan had any intentions of launching an all-out war.
Both sides continued their standoff, and their small-scale skirmishes became nothing more than entertainment for both parties.
Meanwhile, near the frontlines of the Yellow Lotus Sacred Mountain, closer to the Dali Dynasty's North Sweeping Grand Army, the Dali Dynasty was steadily increasing its strength.
Every few days, the Supreme Marshal Zhang Weineng himself would personally visit the frontlines for inspection.
During this period, he would always have Qing Gu True Monarch accompanying him.
It wasn't a forceful command but rather a polite request, and Qing Gu True Monarch had no reason to refuse. He would accompany Zhang Weineng on each of his visits.
During a recent encounter, Qing Gu True Monarch witnessed Zhang Weineng setting a trap specifically for True Monarch Azure Peak.
When Qing Gu True Monarch saw his fellow True Monarch fall into the trap and be surrounded, facing a life-threatening crisis, he not only couldn't lend a helping hand but had to team up with Zhang Weineng to stop Jade Sword True Monarch and Purple Yang Holy Sect's World Traveler Xiao Jiansheng from coming to rescue him.
Zhang Weineng was ruthless, and Qing Gu True Monarch didn't dare to hold back in front of him. He honestly engaged Jade Sword True Monarch, and it was the first time Zhang Weineng fought against Xiao Jiansheng.
The two sides fought to a standstill, neither gaining an advantage over the other. If anything, Zhang Weineng was slightly at a disadvantage in terms of the overall situation.
But for Zhang Weineng, as long as he blocked the reinforcements and prevented them from rescuing True Monarch Azure Peak, it was a significant victory.
The proud Jade Sword True Monarch and the arrogant Xiao Jiansheng had to watch True Monarch Azure Peak die right before their eyes.
Their dignity and pride were ruthlessly trampled upon.
Everyone present became the object of their hatred, and they were put on their hit lists.
