The Way of the Immortal Master

After Meng Zhang left Huojingfang City, he rode on the Red Feather Eagle and flew in the direction of Feihongzong.

As the ruler of the endless sand sea, Feihongzong, theoretically speaking, the entire land of the endless sand sea, except for the territory of the Qi family in Mobei, can be regarded as the territory of Feihongzong.

Feihongzong's territory can be roughly divided into three categories.

The most affluent area in the endless sand sea is the territory directly under Feihongzong, which is directly managed by Feihongzong.

Every spiritual vein and every oasis there belonged to Feihongzong.

Around the territory directly under Feihongzong is the territory of Feihongzong's vassal family.

These vassal families are closely related to Feihongzong, and they are also subject to Feihongzong.

They are trusted by Feihongzong and exist as Feihongzong's outer fence.

Far away from the Feihong Sect, in a remote place on the edge of the endless sand sea, it was once the territory of Shuangfeng Valley and other sects.

This kind of sect is nominally subject to Feihongzong, but they are very independent.

They don't have much loyalty to Feihongzong except for offering offerings and accepting Feihongzong's recruitment to a limited extent.

Generally speaking, Feihongzong would not easily interfere with the internal affairs of these sects unless necessary.

Influences such as the original Linquan Temple, Liu Family, and Dihuomen all belong to this category.

Of course, Feihongzong didn't completely ignore these comprehension forces.

They set up strongholds on the territory of these forces, and obtained a lot of benefits through commercial organizations such as Feihonglou.

Secretly, spies were placed to secretly monitor every move of these forces.

In addition, sects that are closely related to the Feihong Sect, such as Qingzhu Mountain, are nailed into these areas like nails. Often create troubles and balance the surrounding forces.

Of course, after Lin Quanguan became the Jindan Sect, it was recognized by Feihongzong, and the area it occupied was completely independent from Feihongzong.

The vassals of Linquan Temple like Taiyimen are no longer under the control of Feihongzong.

The Red Feather Eagle flies very fast. It took only half a day to get away from Huojingfang City and the territory of Dihuomen.

Dihuomen is bordered by Feihongzong. After leaving the territory of Dihuomen, they entered the territory of Feihongzong.

Feihongzong's territory is extremely vast, and it is also the most affluent place in the endless sand sea.

Even in the desolate desert, there are patches of oases here, and there are many mortal business travelers.

In remote places like Dihuomen and Linquanguan, mortals dare not travel far alone. Without the protection of practitioners, the mortal oasis cannot protect itself.

But within the territory of Feihongzong, mortals can freely travel between various oases. There are frequent exchanges between various oases.

On each oasis, there are large and small regimes established by mortals.

These regimes surrendered to Feihongzong and managed mortal affairs for Feihongzong.

The monks of Feihongzong will not interfere in the world of mortals unless necessary.

Generally speaking, the territory directly under Feihongzong can be regarded as a prosperous and prosperous world.

Of course, this was the situation before the Sand Monster Rebellion.

After the destruction caused by the Sand Monster Rebellion, Feihongzong's territory was no longer as good as before.

Although he had already obtained information on the status quo of Feihongzong's territory from the black market, and was already mentally prepared, after entering Feihongzong's territory, what he saw and heard along the way still amazed Meng Zhang and made him regret endlessly.

The prosperity of the past has already become history.

Along the way, Meng Zhang saw oases that had turned into ruins.

The oasis is full of devastation, and there is no popularity.

The former residents, whether they were cultivators or mortals, either died at the hands of the sand monsters, or left their homes and went far away.

In fact, cultivators are better at surviving, and they still have a chance to escape after the oasis falls.

Ordinary mortals, facing the army of sand monsters, are not even qualified to be cannon fodder, and have no power to fight back. They are completely like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Moreover, these oases are slowly degrading due to the sand monsters completely destroying the spiritual veins.

It won't be long before these oases will completely disappear from the land, and all of them will become deserts.

The destructive power of the army of sand monsters opened Meng Zhang's eyes.

Whether it was when Shuangfeng Valley was still there, or when the sand monster chaos occurred near Linquan Temple recently.

Firstly, the army of sand monsters was limited, and secondly, the sand monsters were wiped out in time, so the area of ​​damage caused was not large.

The scale of the sand monster chaos that Feihongzong encountered this time was simply too terrifying.

Even the Jindan sect, as powerful as Feihongzong, suffered such heavy losses. If Feihongzong did not exist, the entire endless sand sea might have fallen.

At this time, Meng Zhang felt that Feihongzong, the ruler of the endless sand sea, had made great contributions to the endless sand sea, and was simply indispensable.

The territory directly under Feihongzong and the territories of some closely related vassal families are actually intertwined and wrapped up in each other.

If any precious practice resources, such as various minerals, are found on the territory of the vassal family. Feihongzong will occupy that place and set aside a nearby area as Feihongzong's direct territory.

Or if a vassal family became extinct, or made a mistake and was expelled or even exterminated by Feihongzong, the territory would also be taken back by Feihongzong.

This canine-toothed territorial form, in addition to making the relationship between the two closer, also allowed Feihongzong's tentacles to penetrate deeply into the depths of the vassal families.

Along the way, Meng Zhang passed many oases that had been turned into ruins. I don't know whether it belongs directly to Feihongzong or a vassal family of Feihongzong.

Even those oases that resisted the army of sand monsters paid a heavy price during the war.

The sand monster rebellion has been pacified, but these oases with greatly reduced defenses have become the targets of various rogue cultivators, especially bandits in rogue cultivators.

Feihongzong's direct territory is better, but those vassal families who are not strong enough are miserable.

All kinds of casual cultivators swarmed in, and the better ones were just extortion. If you are brave, you will have to break the protective circle directly and grab it.

Not long after the natural disaster passed, another man-made disaster occurred. The people on this land are in bad luck.

When Meng Zhang passed an oasis, he encountered a group of bandits who were robbing an oasis.

Originally unwilling to be troublesome, Meng Zhang, who was about to leave, looked down and found that after the gang of bandits killed the cultivators defending the oasis, they not only robbed wantonly, but also murdered ordinary people.

The Taiyi Sect is also a well-known and upright sect, and Meng Zhang, the head of the sect, is naturally an orthodox monk.

Seeing this scene aroused Meng Zhang's chivalry.

Therefore, Meng Zhang played the role of a chivalrous man who encountered injustice once, and experienced a lot of addiction to being a chivalrous man.

A group of bandits in the Qi refining period were easily killed by him.

Ignoring the gratitude and kowtow of the people in the oasis, Meng Zhang drifted away.

It's really a bit of a deal, brush off the clothes, and hide the taste of merit and fame.
