On the river bank, in addition to the original Eastern Tang Army, there was another group of Tang Army, who were following them.
The person with them was Yi Ru.
The former is the vice president of White Horse Academy, Yue Chunsheng.
The latter is the elder of Qingyun Temple and Taoist Huangye.
The two masters of the seventh level were standing together with the soldiers of Tang Dynasty, looking at the dragon boat in the distance.
"Unexpectedly, Li Jie also broke through to the ninth realm."
Taoist Huangye said softly.
Next to him, the vice president of White Horse Academy, Yue Chunsheng, shook his head: "After all, it is the King of Tang who is superior."
"Dahe Longmen is just the beginning. What's more important is Longbei County in the west." Taoist Huang Ye asked: "Dean Hong, will you go to Longbei County?"
Yue Chunsheng said: "After Master Hong returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, he studied in the back mountain of the academy. Yue was not able to see him before he came out, but other people in the academy believe that he has been informed of what happened here."
He looked at Taoist Huang Ye: "Where is the master of your sect?"
Taoist Huangye said: "Brother, the headmaster, has said that after the Dahe Longmen is destroyed, he will go to Chang'an to have a look."
Yue Chunsheng nodded: "This is the best thing."
"I am deeply sorry to hear that Mr. Zhao Ning has been killed." Taoist Huang Ye sighed.
Yue Chunsheng's expression was calm: "Jiu Ping has sought benevolence and gained benevolence. We will inherit his ambition and break the Chang'an Demon Cave."
Taoist Huang Ye nodded, and then spoke in a voice that was almost imperceptible: "The royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty also has ulterior motives for our family. Mr. Yue and Dean Hong must be investigated."
"I understand what the Taoist Master said." Yue Chunsheng nodded slightly.
The two stopped talking and looked at the dragon boat on the river in the distance.
On the bow of the dragon boat, Li Jie, the Dragon King of the Great River, faced the King of Tang directly without fear:
"In life, there are things to do and things not to do. I have no choice but to accept His Majesty's good wishes."
When the King of Tang heard this, he was not angry, but raised his hand and struck towards the old prince Li Dong.
Li Dong had a spear in his hand, and he immediately flew out and fell into the hands of King Tang.
"In that case, I will help you."
After saying that, he waved his sword in his hand.
The fierce momentum immediately enveloped everyone in Dahe Longmen.
Compared with Li Yi and Li Dong, the power of these four armies in the hands of the Tang king was really very different.
The four elders of Dahe Longmen, except Zhang Chong, the "Turbo Wave Dragon" of the eighth realm, and the remaining three elders of the seventh realm, all felt frightened and uneasy when faced with the power of King Tang.
The sect leader Li Jiemo performed the Dragon Gate Xuan Gong, and invisible air currents swirled around him, like a roaring river. The pressure brought by the Tang Dynasty was eliminated head on, and the fellow sect members behind him felt much more relaxed.
"Let's go!" Li Jie shouted and took the initiative to greet King Tang.
Zhang Chong and four others scattered and fled the dragon boat.
They planned to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and if the Tang army saw through it, everyone would break out of the encirclement, rescue all the disciples on the land, break through again, and fight their way out of the tight encirclement of the Tang army.
It's just that they didn't know before that King Tang actually came to Dahe in person.
Right now, the five of them can't protect themselves, so they can only take a risk.
The leader of the sect, Li Jie, took the initiative to fight against the King of Tang. Although it was dangerous, Zhang Chong and the other four disciples had no choice but to reluctantly take advantage of the opportunity that Li Jie had fought for, one by one.
Without them, it might be easier for Li Jie to escape alone.
Taoist Huangye and Yue Chunsheng on the bank looked on with cold eyes, showing no intention of taking action.
Qingyun Temple is at odds with Dahe Longmen. Although there is an opportunity to add insult to injury, Taoist Huang Ye is also afraid of the Eastern Tang Dynasty royal family.
Yue Chunsheng of Baima Academy has no conflict with Dahe Longmen.
He came here just to watch Dong Tang take action, his target was the next focus, Chang'an City.
Above the river, the battle was fierce.
An elder from the Dahe Dragon Gate of the seventh realm died on the spot, his blood staining the wide river surface red.
Zhang Chong and the other three people were all injured and managed to break through. Yan Xishi, Situ Jinsheng and other masters were still chasing them.
Fortunately, Li Jie broke through to the ninth realm before. Although he was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, he still had a chance to escape.
In order to reduce the burden on Zhang Chong and others, he deliberately fled in the opposite direction to distract his biggest enemy, Tang Wang Li Xuanxin.
"Don't let these rebels go."
As expected, the king of Tang Dynasty also kept a close eye on Li Jie and only gave instructions to his son before leaving.
The old prince Li Dong followed closely behind, chasing the Dragon King of the River together.
Muping County Prince Li Yize quickly said loudly: "Yes, father!"
He suffered a big loss in front of Dahe Longmen, which made him feel restless.
At this time, after listening to King Tang's instructions, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The king of Tang gave him another chance.
Li Yi immediately set off to return to the shore, command the army, and hunt down the descendants of Longmen.
Dahe Longmen's plan to break out and evacuate by land was discovered by the Tang king, and most of his disciples, including women and children, and their families, were intercepted and killed by the Tang army.
Zhang Chong and others, who finally came back, quickly joined the large army and began to break out of the encirclement.
Li Yi, Situ Jinsheng, Zheng Tianfeng, and Yan Xi, Zhichen Taoist led an army to pursue and intercept them.
On the way, Gao Yu, the master of the dark pavilion, met with Li Yi and others.
"Pavilion Master Gao, it's so hard to hide this from me."
When Li Yi met Gao Yu, his tone was meaningful.
Gao Yu sighed: "Your Majesty summoned you urgently, and then I walked with you all the time. Under his nose, naturally no news came out to Your Highness."
Li Yi snorted and said nothing more.
When the army was pursuing chaos, he looked for opportunities to avoid Gao Yu and contacted Murong Ting privately:
"Murong, it seems that all my good intentions have been wasted!"
After Murong Ting looked around for a while, he finally said: "It's not that the official didn't remind His Highness, it's that the official didn't know about this incident."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, I know that the leader of the Dragon Gate, Li Jie, has improved his cultivation level and that the Dragon Gate's true escape plan was not much earlier than your Highness."
Murong Ting said softly: "This information comes from the line mastered by the Pavilion Master himself."
Li Yi's eyes were full of suspicion: "You mean, there are people in the secret cabinet. Gao Yu knows about it, but you don't know about it?"
Murong Ting smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe, the master of the pavilion wants to do something personally."
Li Yi narrowed his eyes: "It seems that I underestimated Pavilion Master Gao before. I wonder what kind of career he wants to do?"
Some people in the outside world just suspected and speculated, but Li Yi knew very well that the master of the dark pavilion, Gao, was actually named Li and not Gao.
Li is none other than Li from the Li family of the royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Murong Ting shook his head gently: "I don't know, I know, but..."
He hesitated slightly.
Li Yi's eyes immediately glanced over: "Since you have already opened your mouth, don't hesitate."
Murong Ting took a long breath: "However, Your Highness really needs to be careful. It is not that the Pavilion Master has no chance to tell you what happened today, but... he chose not to tell you."
When Li Yi heard this, he sneered a few times but said nothing.
A fierce light flashed in his eyes. After a while, he looked at Murong Ting again: "It seems that Pavilion Master Gao no longer trusts you Murong. Murong might as well consider my previous proposal carefully."
Murong Ting was silent again.
Li Yi didn't rush him either.
I believe that Gao Yu suddenly opened another intelligence line and concealed the matter from Murong Ting, which naturally gave Murong Ting a sense of crisis.
In this way, Murong Ting will naturally have a choice.
When Li Yi saw Gao Yu again, there was no abnormality on his face and he was still laughing and joking.
But Prince Muping had already begun to think in his mind that this time of rebellion was the perfect opportunity to kill that ungrateful bastard.
Murong Ting remained quiet and low-key, not attracting attention, quietly following behind Gao Yu, acting as a guard.
But when he watched Li Yi and Gao Yu chatting and laughing, his eyes could not help but flicker slightly...
Everyone in Dahe Longmen fled westward.
At this moment, they have no better place to go.
The only choice, there is only one place.
Chang'an City!
During their escape, Shang Jie and Wen Hu received an urgent call from their master in Chang'an City.
The two were shocked and hurriedly went to Tianshu Hall to ask for Mr. Wuyun.
"When you enter Chang'an, you must abide by the rules of Chang'an." Mr. Wu Yun looked at the two of them: "Anyone, do you understand?"
Shang Jie said quickly: "Old sir, please rest assured that everyone in our sect will abide by the rules of Chang'an City and will never violate them.
But now there are so many masters from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, who are besieging and chasing us all the way. Our disciples have suffered heavy casualties. I hope Chang'an can send masters to rescue and escort our disciples into the city."
"Okay." Mr. Wu Yun nodded.
The Blood Shadow Old Demon was in seclusion and practicing hard. Zhang Dongyun did not touch him. He only called Chen Jiezhi, Xu Xingzhi and Wan Li, the dean of Tingshan Academy who had recovered from his injuries, to lead a team and go with Shang Jie to meet the people of Dahe Longmen.
Everyone in Tingshan Academy was grateful for the kindness of Chang'an City for taking them in. Secondly, they felt the same hatred towards Dahe Longmen disciples being hunted down by the Eastern Tang Dynasty. They immediately asked for orders and went out with the dean.
Seeing a group of people marching out of Chang'an and into the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smacked his lips.
Being able to bring as many people as possible from Dahe Longmen back to Chang'an will naturally be of great benefit to him in completing his construction tasks.
But if these practitioners in the city originally went out of the city, it would be a bit unsightly if someone died outside.
It’s really confusing... Zhang Dongyun sighed.
But having said that, when the Hu family went back, there was no movement.
Could it be that Hu Yinghua is letting me go?
Zhang Dongyun frowned.
He has also been thinking about the fact that the Hu family has so many martial arts practitioners.
However, this incident did not worry him for long.
A few days later, Hu Ming came to see Mr. Wu Yun with a sad face.
"You mean, Hu Yinghua went back to secretly handle the property and was going to bring people to Chang'an, but there was a traitor in your Hu family and he reported to Dong Tang?"
Mr. Wu Yun looked at Hu Ming.
Hu Ming's face was full of bitterness: "Li Hong, the crown prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the Taiwei of the Eastern Tang Dynasty led troops to surround the ancestral land of the Hu family. The traitors in the family cooperated with them inside and outside. The Hu family was finally defeated by the Tang army. Many clan members died. The uncle was captured. I heard that he would be taken back to Luyang City.
.”
Mr. Wu Yun's expression remained unchanged: "It seems that many people in the Hu family are hostile to Chang'an."
Hu Ming said quickly: "That's not the case. Please believe me, sir. My uncle and many people have their hearts set on Chang'an, but it's just a small group of people who are eating the inside out."
Mr. Wu Yun said calmly: "Let's see and then talk."
Hu Ming was helpless: "Yes, senior."
Mr. Wuyun in the projection was calm, while Zhang Dongyun in the Daming Palace slapped his forehead in annoyance.
If the Hu family doesn't come, there may be a big gap in his construction tasks.
