Chapter 576 Northern Expedition to Changqing

After Taiping Dao and the Nine Provinces formed an alliance, neither side was in a hurry to announce their alignment.

The news that Taiping Dao had merged with the Nine Provinces was only circulated among the higher echelons of the sects; apart from the School Leaders, no one else was aware.
