Perhaps worried that Meng Zhang would misunderstand, Fei Jiang Daoist Master did not insist on his offer after Meng Zhang declined it. In order to show the goodwill of the Flying Swan Sect, Fei Jiang Daoist Master offered many benefits. For example, the territory of Twin Success Valley and Green Bamboo Mountain, which the Flying Swan Sect had long been unable to manage, were now handed over to the Taiyi Sect. Additionally, Fei Jiang Daoist Master hinted that the Taiyi Sect should handle the other cultivation forces around them, such as the Land Walk Sect.

Of course, the Taiyi Sect could not go too far and had to maintain the face of the Flying Swan Sect. Although they had no intention of annexing these sects, with Fei Jiang Daoist Master’s hint, Meng Zhang could now begin his next plan.
In just a few words between the two Gold Core Daoist Masters, the ownership of a large area of land and the fate of many cultivation forces were decided. Of course, Fei Jiang Daoist Master did not offer these benefits without any requests. He vaguely hinted that he hoped Meng Zhang would join the Flying Swan Sect’s camp, either to fight against the Fire Cloud Sect or to help resist the invasion of the Demon Wind Gobi monsters.
Fei Jiang Daoist Master was not willing to sell out his benefits for nothing, and Meng Zhang kept praising him with kind words, but when it came to when he would participate in the battle, there was no definite answer. Fei Jiang Daoist Master was straightforward and had a hot temper. He was already displeased with Meng Zhang’s hesitation, despite his efforts to show goodwill.
At this moment, Niu Dawei, Meng Zhang’s senior disciple from the Taiyi Sect, shouted loudly, "Luo Ye Daoist Master is here to visit." Most of the people present had never heard of Luo Ye Daoist Master, but since she was called a Daoist Master, her status was self-evident.
Luo Ye Daoist Master’s timely arrival helped Meng Zhang out of his predicament. After apologizing to Fei Jiang Daoist Master, Meng Zhang took the initiative to greet Luo Ye Daoist Master. "I have seen Luo Ye Senior. I will never forget the guidance you gave me."
Luo Ye Daoist Master not only pointed Meng Zhang in the right direction, but also taught him the "Form the Core" experience, which was of great help to him. "Don’t be so polite. Your achievements today are also due to your own opportunities. It was because you helped me first that we were able to establish a good relationship."
After exchanging a few words, Meng Zhang introduced Luo Ye Daoist Master to Fei Jiang Daoist Master. Fei Jiang Daoist Master looked at Meng Zhang with some suspicion, not knowing when he had met Luo Ye Daoist Master. He was also unclear about Luo Ye Daoist Master’s background. However, in his eyes, every Gold Core Daoist Master was a person who could not be ignored.
Luo Ye Daoist Master nodded slightly at Fei Jiang Daoist Master and sat down not far from him. If Meng Zhang had an unknown Gold Core Daoist Master as a strong ally, the Flying Swan Sect’s attitude towards him would have to be readjusted.Fei Jiang Daoist Master secretly muttered to himself, originally thinking that Meng Zhang was just a lucky guy who barely succeeded in forming the core. He was alone and had not yet entered the circle of Gold Core Daoist Masters. Unexpectedly, he was not simple at all.
What surprised Fei Jiang Daoist Master even more was that just when he thought that Luo Ye Daoist Master was Meng Zhang’s trump card, Niu Dawei shouted again, "Gu Yue Family Heart Butterfly Daoist Master has arrived."
Upon hearing the name Gu Yue Huaidie, Fei Jiang Daoist Master couldn’t help but change his expression. The Flying Swan Sect was very familiar with their old neighbor and biggest business partner, Great Wind City. Fei Jiang Daoist Master was well aware of the status of the Gu Yue Family in Great Wind City and the position of Gu Yue Huaidie within the Gu Yue Family.

Previously, rumors had circulated among the surrounding cultivation forces of the Taiyi Sect that Meng Zhang had a close relationship and frequent dealings with the Gu Yue Family. When these rumors reached the ears of the high-ranking members of the Flying Swan Sect, they scoffed at them. The Gu Yue Family’s status was far beyond what Meng Zhang, a mere individual, could aspire to. At most, there might have been some business dealings between the Taiyi Sect and the Gu Yue Family. Meng Zhang, however, shamelessly claimed to have a special relationship with the Gu Yue Family.
In reality, it was nothing more than taking advantage of the ignorance of the country bumpkin to boost his own reputation. But now, with the important figure of the Gu Yue Family, Gu Yue Huaidie Daoist Master, attending Meng Zhang’s Gold Core celebration, it indicated that Meng Zhang was not a dispensable existence in the eyes of the Gu Yue Family.
After apologizing, Meng Zhang left the side of Luo Ye Daoist Master and Fei Jiang Daoist Master to warmly welcome the esteemed guest, Gu Yue Huaidie. Gu Yue Huaidie was not alone but accompanied by her disciple, Gu Yue Youlan. Meng Zhang greeted both Gu Yue Huaidie and Gu Yue Youlan with respect. The two parties had interacted multiple times before and had a good relationship. Without much formality, Meng Zhang led them to the side of Fei Jiang Daoist Master and Luo Ye Daoist Master.
Seeing the familiar interaction between Meng Zhang and Gu Yue Huaidie Daoist Master, Fei Jiang Daoist Master felt a sinking feeling. His concern was no longer Meng Zhang, but the Gu Yue Family. If Meng Zhang truly joined forces with the Gu Yue Family and they, through the Taiyi Sect, wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Endless Sea of Sand, it would spell trouble for the Flying Swan Sect.
There were differences in strength among the Gold Core sects. Although the Flying Swan Sect was the dominant force in the Endless Sea of Sand, it was due to special circumstances. In terms of actual power, the Flying Swan Sect was not outstanding among the Gold Core sects. Their ability to dominate the Endless Sea of Sand in the past and drive out the forces of the Fire Cloud Sect and the Yellow Lotus Sect East River Branch relied not solely on their own strength.
Leaving aside past events, even now, the strength of the Fire Cloud Sect surpassed that of the Flying Swan Sect. Despite having the advantage and the assistance of the Northern Desert Qi Family, the Flying Swan Sect was already struggling to resist the invasion of the Fire Cloud Sect. The strength of the Gu Yue Family was not inferior to that of the Fire Cloud Sect. If the Gu Yue Family, as a fresh force, also wanted to meddle in the affairs of the Endless Sea of Sand, the Flying Swan Sect would likely have no choice but to surrender.
Although his mind was filled with countless thoughts and uncertainties about Gu Yue Huaidie’s intentions, Fei Jiang Daoist Master remained polite on the surface, even with a hint of flattery, warmly greeting Gu Yue Huaidie. Gu Yue Huaidie, too, did not display the arrogance of a cultivator from a major family and exchanged a few polite words with Fei Jiang Daoist Master before engaging in conversation with Luo Ye Daoist Master.
While others were unaware of Luo Ye Daoist Master’s background, Gu Yue Huaidie had some understanding of Luo Ye Daoist Master and the Dark Alliance behind her.
