Chapter 753: 7 Pink Clouds Light Robe

Meng Zhang is a trustworthy person and generally keeps his promises. He wouldn't make empty promises and then break them.

Since Xu Mengying fulfilled her promise to help him expel the Sea Clan, he naturally wanted to return the favor by helping her to kill the True Monarch Mountain Peak.

However, the Book Mountain True Monarch, who played a significant role in the previous battle, seemed hesitant at this moment. Helping Meng Zhang deal with the Sea Clan was acceptable as it involved confronting an alien race and defending the honor of the Human Clan. But when it came to the True Monarch Mountain Peak, which was a member of the Jiuqu League, he couldn't get involved.

Ever since their last experience, the Dark Alliance had internal divisions, and they also clashed with the Dali Dynasty, putting them in an adversarial position.

At this point, they had to stick closely to the Jiuqu League and firmly stand on their side to have any chance against the Dali Dynasty.

In fact, the Red Pig True Monarch had already contacted the higher-ups of the Azure Origin Sect and Jade Sword Sect to express their willingness to cooperate.

The Dark Alliance's branch wouldn't get involved in the disputes between the Jade Sword Sect and Azure Origin Sect, but when it came to opposing the Dali Dynasty, they would be reliable allies of the Jiuqu League.

In this situation, despite Xu Mengying's assurance that the plan to kill the True Monarch Mountain Peak was highly confidential and wouldn't be leaked, the Book Mountain True Monarch politely declined to participate for the sake of caution.

Extraordinary events could lead to unexpected outcomes, and no one could guarantee the success of killing the True Monarch Mountain Peak. If he were to escape, it would undoubtedly impact the relationship between the Dark Alliance's branch and the Jiuqu League.

With Book Mountain True Monarch unwilling to be involved, only Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying were left to take action.

The True Monarch Mountain Peak had achieved the Primordial Spirit level before them and had received guidance from True Monarch Tian Zhu, making him a formidable cultivator. He possessed all the abilities expected of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

It would be quite challenging for Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying alone to kill him.

Taiyi Sect was now part of the Jade Sword Sect's camp, and the True Monarch Mountain Peak was still up for grabs. It wouldn't be difficult for Meng Zhang to kill him, and even if the news leaked, it wouldn't have a significant impact on him or Taiyi Sect.

However, for Book Mountain True Monarch and the Dark Alliance's branch, which was pursuing mutual trust with the Jiuqu League, this was not an opportune time to get involved and affect the bigger picture.

So, Book Mountain True Monarch bid farewell and left, emphasizing that he knew nothing about Meng Zhang and Xu Mengying's future plans.

After Book Mountain True Monarch left, Xu Mengying felt dissatisfied but had no other choice.

Meng Zhang did have some hidden cards, but he was considering whether he should use them to kill the True Monarch Mountain Peak.

Xu Mengying probably knew that Meng Zhang was her greatest reliance at the moment. Although he had promised to help, she was unsure if he would risk everything, unlike the resolute Book Mountain True Monarch.

For some unknown reason, Xu Mengying had an inexplicable confidence in Meng Zhang.

After much contemplation, she finally made up her mind and decided to offer the Fourth Rank magic tool inherited by her sect in exchange for Meng Zhang's full assistance.

Despite being a Primordial Spirit True Monarch for so long, Meng Zhang had never possessed a Fourth Rank magic tool. Now that Xu Mengying was willing to use one to bribe him, he readily accepted the offer.

Yellow Lotus Sect had a history of over two thousand years, and they had always had a Primordial Spirit True Monarch among them.

After years of accumulation, the sect still possessed several Fourth Rank magic tools. Although Yellow Lotus Sect had been in a state of factual division for years, various important items, including Fourth Rank magic tools, were kept in the Main Altar.

Even though True Monarch Mountain Peak had many supporters within the Yellow Lotus Sect's Main Altar, after Xu Mengying achieved the Primordial Spirit level, she held the highest authority within the Main Altar.

Xu Mengying provided a list detailing the current Fourth Rank magic tools possessed by Yellow Lotus Sect. Meng Zhang knew that Xu Mengying would surely keep some in reserve, and the ones she took out wouldn't be the entire inventory of Yellow Lotus Sect.

Meng Zhang carefully reviewed the list but didn't find any Fourth Rank magic tool that particularly suited him or aligned with his cultivation techniques and Grand Dao. Fourth Rank magic tools were not common goods and were never useless. Each of them was the result of predecessors expending much effort to refine and slowly evolve.

Meng Zhang realized that what he currently lacked the most was a life-saving magic tool. He had sufficient means to defend against regular attacks, but what he needed was a magic tool that could protect him in adverse situations.

Among the defensive magic tools listed, there were only 1-2, and Meng Zhang didn't need to hesitate much before choosing the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe.

This Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe was mainly made of thousand-year ice silkworm silk and sun essence golden thread, refined with the radiance of the Nine Heavens and the qi of the Nine Heavens.

When a cultivator wearing the robe encountered an attack, colorful clouds would spontaneously manifest on the robe's surface to resist various attacks. Additionally, if the cultivator activated it, the robe could emit colorful radiance to dispel various Grand Dao forces.

Upon seeing Meng Zhang's choice of the Rainbow Dawn Glow Robe, Xu Mengying's face was filled with reluctance, but she had no other reliable assistants besides Meng Zhang. The matter of killing the True Monarch Mountain Peak was of great significance to her, and she was willing to pay a huge price to make it happen. While she felt heartache at losing one of the Fourth Rank magic tools from the sect's inventory, she reluctantly accepted it.

Xu Mengying asked Meng Zhang to wait at Taiyi Sect's mountain gate while she made a special trip back to Yellow Lotus Sect's Main Altar.

For any sect, Fourth Rank magic tools were considered precious treasures, and Yellow Lotus Sect was no exception. Even the Sect Master and Saintess needed to inform the elders before using any of the Fourth Rank magic tools kept in the sect's treasury.

However, at this moment, the oldest elder of the sect, Xu Haoran True Monarch, had died during meditation, and other elders were anxious and uncertain. Xu Mengying easily made her way to the secret treasury and obtained the access talisman from the guarding elder without any hindrance.

Inside the treasury, she saw several Fourth Rank magic tools floating in the air. Xu Mengying wasted no time and collected all of them. Some of the Fourth Rank magic tools tried to resist, but Xu Mengying suppressed them effortlessly with her Primordial Spirit cultivation base. Since she held the position of the sect's Saintess, the tool spirits of these magic tools didn't resist too fiercely.

Among these Fourth Rank magic tools of Yellow Lotus Sect, none were as troublesome as Taiyi Sect's Void Cauldron. Xu Mengying took these magic tools not to steal from her own sect, but because she didn't want these magic tools to somehow fall into the hands of True Monarch Mountain Peak.

According to her knowledge, there were many high-ranking figures within the Main Altar who held a high regard for True Monarch Mountain Peak. Some had secret dealings with him, and others had even pledged their allegiance to him long ago.
