Chapter 329: Questioning
Since the relationship with the Yellow Lotus Sect turned sour, Meng Zhang also spent a lot of effort to investigate the Yellow Lotus Sect.
The Yellow Lotus Sect was powerful, but their internal relationship was not good.
In particular, the East River Branch not only never obeyed the orders of the Main Altar, but also had little contact with the other branches.
Of course, the East River Branch itself was powerful enough to surpass a Gold Core Sect like the Fire Cloud Sect.
The East River Branch was powerful, but they were not without enemies, and they could not act recklessly in Great Wind City.
Meng Zhang and the others, as merchants traveling to Great Wind City, were still safe. At least on the surface, the East River Branch of the Yellow Lotus Sect did not dare to intercept the merchants traveling to Great Wind City.
Great Wind City was a famous trading city, and intercepting merchants would shake the foundation of Great Wind City.
Once such a thing happened, Great Wind City would always investigate it thoroughly. No matter who the other party was, they would not let it go easily.
The flying boat took some time to cross the vast territory of the Taiyi Sect and enter the Green Bamboo Mountain territory.
After the Green Bamboo Mountain was destroyed by the Flying Swan Sect, their original territory was directly occupied by the Flying Swan Sect.
There were no problems along the way, and the flying boat sailed smoothly through here and entered the territory of the Flying Swan Sect's vassal families.
The vassal family territory, which had been in chaos due to the rampant bandits, had now begun to return to peace.
After the Flying Swan Sect put in a lot of effort to crack down on these bandits, these bandits all disappeared, and it was not known if they had fled far away.
The flying boat had encountered several Flying Swan Sect patrol disciples along the way.
These patrol disciples were either riding flying mounts such as cranes, or riding First Rank flying boats, and they occasionally flew through the sky.
The flying boat that Meng Zhang was riding had the Taiyi Sect emblem painted on it.
The Taiyi Sect was no longer a small sect that was unknown in the Endless Sea of Sand.
These disciples recognized the Taiyi Sect emblem and did not stop them, allowing them to pass.
In fact, in the past few years, the Taiyi Sect's Second Rank flying boats had often passed through here to go to Flying Swan City.
After the flying boat passed through the territory of these vassal families and entered the direct territory of the Flying Swan Sect, there were fewer patrol disciples.In the territory of the Flying Swan Sect, there were actually some markets. Especially Flying Swan City, which was a city with a developed economy.
The upper echelons of the sect did some work, and the Taiyi Sect opened a fixed route to Flying Swan City.
Every half a month, a Second Rank flying boat from the Taiyi Sect would take off from Singing Sand City and head to Flying Swan City.
In addition to transporting goods, the flying boat also had a passenger business. Transporting cultivators from all walks of life between Singing Sand City and Flying Swan City.
In order to ensure the safety of the flying boat, each time the flying boat departed, a Foundation Building stage cultivator from the Taiyi Sect would take turns to sit on it.
Now that Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi were leaving the Endless Sea of Sand and heading to Great Wind City, the Taiyi Sect was short of Foundation Building stage cultivators, and had to temporarily borrow Foundation Building stage cultivators from the Qiaoshou Sect to ensure the smooth operation of this route.
With the current relationship between the Qiaoshou Sect and the Taiyi Sect, as long as they paid enough compensation, it was already a very common thing for them to borrow cultivators from each other.
Meng Zhang attached great importance to this route, because the flying boat would transport precious spirit materials back and forth, which were worth a lot of money.
These spirit materials could not be fully consumed by the Taiyi Sect and the nearby cultivation forces. Only by transporting them to Flying Swan City for sale could the profits be maximized.
Of course, Flying Swan City was the top business city in the Endless Sea of Sand, but it was still far from Great Wind City.
At least, in Flying Swan City, all the transactions related to Foundation Building Pill and Foundation Building Pill materials were completely controlled by the Flying Swan Sect. Without the permission of the Flying Swan Sect, not to mention the Foundation Building Pill, even the materials for the Foundation Building Pill, would not be able to be bought here.
The Shi Family had spent countless efforts to collect the materials for refining the Foundation Building Pill, and had exhausted the family's accumulation of hundreds of years.
The Shi Family had worked hard to collect the materials, and let Shi Changqing refine the pill, but only successfully refined three Foundation Building Pills.
Meng Zhang had a faint feeling that the Flying Swan Sect probably didn't want too many Foundation Building stage cultivators to appear in the Taiyi Sect.
Taiyi Sect now occupies more territory than Twin Success Valley did in the past. If Taiyi Sect continues to grow, it is very likely to become the next Twin Success Valley.
Flying Swan Sect cannot attack Taiyi Sect for no reason now, but it can still limit Taiyi Sect by taking some measures.
As long as Flying Swan Sect does not provide Foundation Building Pills to Taiyi Sect, it can control the number of Foundation Building stage cultivators in Taiyi Sect.
Therefore, after Meng Zhang realized this situation, he also completely cut off the idea of asking Flying Swan Sect for Foundation Building Pills.
Flying Swan Sect can only control the trading situation within the Endless Sea of Sand, and Meng Zhang can trade in the Jiuqu League area, which Flying Swan Sect cannot control.
The flying boat did not head for Flying Swan City, but took a detour, deliberately avoiding the direction of Flying Swan City, and flew towards the Jiuqu League area.
Along the way, the flying boat met quite a few Flying Swan Sect disciples, as well as flying boats from Flying Swan Sect's vassal families.
The flying boat did not fly over to greet them, but continued on its original route.
If the territory of the vassal families is also counted, Flying Swan Sect's territory covers an area of ten thousand miles.
Even with the speed of this Second Rank flying boat, it took three days and three nights to fly through Flying Swan Sect's territory.
Further ahead is the border area between Flying Swan Sect and Jiuqu League. Leaving this area will enter the territory of Jiuqu League. Flying Swan Sect's direction towards Jiuqu League is mostly adjacent to Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch. Only a small narrow area is connected to the territory of Great Wind City.
In the border area with Jiuqu League, Flying Swan Sect naturally arranged a strong force for patrolling.
Of course, the main object of defense is still Fire Cloud Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch.
There has never been any enmity between Flying Swan Sect and Great Wind City. On the contrary, because Great Wind City is the main external trading channel for Flying Swan Sect, the two sides have frequent large-scale transactions and close contacts.
Recently, the cultivators of Fire Cloud Sect have been frequently mobilized, and there is a sense of restlessness. In order to prevent Fire Cloud Sect from destroying the shipping lanes and blocking the trade routes between Flying Swan Sect and Great Wind City, Flying Swan Sect has strengthened its patrols in the nearby areas.
When the Taiyi Sect flying boat was about to pass through the border of Flying Swan Sect, it was intercepted by a First Rank flying boat of Flying Swan Sect.
The cultivators on this First Rank flying boat were all guarding the border area with Jiuqu League all year round, and they did not know much about the situation inside the Endless Sea of Sand.
They did not recognize the mark on the Taiyi Sect flying boat, and after stopping the Taiyi Sect flying boat, Meng Zhang patiently reported his identity to them.
Fortunately, Taiyi Sect now has some fame, and they have all heard of Taiyi Sect's name.
A group of Qi Refining stage cultivators actually asked Meng Zhang, a Foundation Building stage cultivator, some questions.
They asked about the origin of Taiyi Sect's flying boat and the destination of this flight.
