While Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying were making various preparations to kill True Lord Yue Feng, the situation in the Jiuqu League was undergoing great changes.

The Jade Sword Sect, which had long wanted to break with the Qingyuan Sect and break away from the Jiuqu Alliance, finally stopped hiding it and began to act openly.

The Jade Sword Sect withdrew its elders, elders and all disciples stationed in Jiuqu City, publicly announced its withdrawal from the Jiuqu League, and would no longer have any relationship with the Jiuqu League.

The forces of the Jade Sword Sect completely withdrew from the south of the Jiuqu Alliance and retreated to the north where the Jade Sword Sect's headquarters is located.

The Jade Sword Sect will use the area where the Huanglian Sect's mountain gate is as the dividing line to draw a clear boundary with the Qingyuan Sect, and from now on it will exclusively occupy the northern part of the Jiuqu League.

The public break between the two giant sects has greatly affected the major cultivation forces within the Jiuqu Alliance.

Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, all the major cultivation forces were forced to take sides and fell into the two camps.

Generally speaking, most of the cultivation forces in the south follow the Qingyuan Sect, while most of the cultivation forces in the north belong to the Jade Sword Sect.

Of course, there are still some cultivation forces who have not taken sides yet. They are either waiting for a price, or making a last-ditch effort to prevent the Jiuqu Alliance from splitting.

A force like Sihai Commercial Bank, which started out as a trader, was very reluctant to see the Jiuqu Alliance split. Even though they knew it was useless, the senior officials of Sihai Commercial Bank were still running around trying to bridge the differences between Qingyuan Sect and Jade Sword Sect.

True Lord Yue Feng of the Huanglian Sect was wavering between the Yujian Sect and the Qingyuan Sect, waiting for a price. Xu Mengying, on the other hand, had been staying at the Taiyi Sect during this period, making no public appearances or expressing her stance.

There are also some forces with the True Lord of Yuanshen who are still waiting and watching. However, as the situation develops, their neutral status cannot be maintained for too long.

For example, the Shangguan family in the north of the Jiuqu League, Wu Rift Valley and other Yuanshen forces have a relatively detached status due to historical reasons, and they are still waiting to see how the situation develops.

The Dark Alliance branch still has not expressed its position at this time.

The Dark Alliance branch has already broken with the Dali Dynasty, and of course it does not want to see the Jiuqu Alliance split, weakening the power to resist the Dali Dynasty.

However, the Dark Alliance branch has no ability to prevent the Jiuqu Alliance from splitting.

The Dark Alliance branch agrees with the Jade Sword Sect's position, but is also unwilling to offend the Qingyuan Sect too much.

The Dark Alliance branch also has many strongholds, located in the south of the Jiuqu Alliance and within the sphere of influence of the Qingyuan Sect.

In the view of Red Pig True Lord and others, if the Dali Dynasty really invades the Jiuqu League, the Qingyuan Sect and its subordinate forces will also be a valuable resistance force.

Among the top leaders of the Jiuqu Alliance, there are also many monks who are casual cultivators. Other monks are just that. Several Yuanshen True Monarchs have become the objects of competition between the two sides.

For example, Zhenjun He Luo did not hesitate to stand on the side of Qingyuan Sect. Zhenjun Xuanfeng, however, remained closed-door and did not express his position easily.

Almost overnight, such a large force as the Jiuqu League fell apart and fell into a confrontation between the north and the south.

Of course, for such a large power, it does not mean that splitting can be done easily. There are still many problems that need to be resolved.

The industries, resources, materials, etc. in Jiuqu League need to be divided.

Even if the Jade Sword Sect is willing to make concessions on these things, it will not give them all the advantage of the Qingyuan Sect.

In line with the wishes of the Jade Sword Sect, the two parties decided to cut it off as soon as possible and break up peacefully. However, the Qingyuan Sect was unwilling to accept all this.

Qingyuan Sect is the largest sect in the Jiuqu League and the actual master of the Jiuqu League.

As a sword cultivating sect, the Jade Sword Sect is impatient of fighting for power and profit.

Since the establishment of the Jiuqu League, the Qingyuan Sect has been responsible for the internal affairs of the Jiuqu League, and the Jade Sword Sect has been responsible for external conquests. This division of labor and cooperation has ensured the stability of the Jiuqu League.

Regarding the issue of dealing with the Dali Dynasty, the Qingyuan Sect repeatedly rejected the Yujian Sect's proposal to start a war. In the eyes of the Yujian Sect, this was because the Qingyuan Sect had crossed the line and violated the minimum consensus between the two parties.

That's why the Jade Sword Sect wanted to separate from the Qingyuan Sect.

The Qingyuan Sect originally controlled almost the entire Jiuqu Alliance. Now that the Jiuqu Alliance is split, both the territory and the cultivation power have been reduced by almost half. It is impossible for the Qingyuan Sect to accept it.

One party wants to break up peacefully, but the other party feels that they have suffered a loss and insists on holding on and not letting go.

Between the two giant sects, even if they break up, there will be no peace.

If it weren't for the imminent threat from the Great Li Dynasty outside and the full persuasion from the Sihai Trading Company internally, the two giant sects might have gone full force.

When all the major cultivation forces in the Jiuqu League are taking sides, Taiyi Sect will naturally not make any exceptions.

The Taiyi Sect has long been included in the Yujian Sect's camp and serves the Jade Sword Sect. What they want to express now is their attitude of breaking with the Qingyuan Sect.

On the Yaofeng Gobi, there were originally some cultivation forces, which were arranged here by Qingyuan Sect's True Lord Qinglan.

In the past, Meng Zhang was unwilling to break up with True Lord Qinglan, so he tolerated the existence of these cultivation forces. Now, the Taiyi Sect must faithfully follow the Jade Sword Sect, so naturally there is no need to give face to True Lord Qinglan.

Meng Zhang always left room for action. He did not do anything absolutely perfect, but gave two choices.

These cultivation forces either drew a clear line with True Lord Qinglan, swore allegiance to Taiyi Sect, and became vassals of Taiyi Sect from then on.

Either give up everything in Yaofeng Gobi, be sent out by Taiyi Menli, and leave Yaofeng Gobi honestly.

What surprised Meng Zhang was that in addition to most of the forces being forced to move away, there were actually a few forces that were willing to stay.

But what are the thoughts of keeping these people? They will become vassals of Taiyi Sect in the future. Taiyi Sect will naturally have ways to slowly train them.

Around the Taiyi Sect, the Gu Yue family, which controls Gale City, has long been in the Jade Sword Sect's camp, so needless to say.

Forces such as the Huoyun Sect and the Huanglian Sect's Hedong Branch are still waiting for the decision from the True Lord Yuanshen behind them.

The three major sects that fled from the Hengjue Mountains to the Jiuqu League all sided with the Jade Sword Sect without exception.

They are at odds with the Dali Dynasty, so of course they must support the Jade Sword Sect, which is the most resolute in resisting the Dali Dynasty.

Generally speaking, after the two giants, Jade Sword Sect and Qingyuan Sect, broke up, they stood together as a tripartite. Most of the cultivating forces took sides one after another, while a small number of cultivating forces had ambiguous attitudes.

There is another thing that many people know well but no one has revealed, that is, many of the cultivation forces in the Jiuqu Alliance are secretly connected with the Dali Dynasty.

Both the Jade Sword Sect and the Qing Yuan Sect are aware of this situation, but they seem to be unable to come up with a feasible solution.

If they hadn't reached an agreement at the beginning, maybe even the Taiyi Sect would have hooked up with the Dali Dynasty.

Meng Zhang understands this situation and is very worried about the current situation of the Jiuqu League.

However, even though he is already the True Lord of Yuanshen, he is still powerless in this kind of matter.
