Zheng Tianfeng, the head of the Zheng family, looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi frowned: "The news I got before went north."
The King of Tang personally pursued and killed Li Jie, the leader of Dahe Dragon Gate, but Li Jie was defeated and had no choice but to escape.
If he did not fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty King, it would not be easy for the Tang Dynasty King to kill him. The two sides pursued and fought all the way towards the northern border of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
It's thousands of miles away from Longbei County.
However, in view of the fact that the King of Tang suddenly came to the river and concealed it from everyone's ears, everyone in Longbei County and Dongtang now had hope in their hearts.
Maybe the king will come again, suddenly appear in Chang'an, and catch the enemy by surprise?
The head of the Situ family, Situ Jinsheng, looked at Yi Ruyi, who had never made a move before.
"Master Qingye and Dean Hong, when will they arrive?"
Along the way, those who were chasing the descendants of Dahe Longmen, the elder of Qingyunduan, Taoist Huang Ye, and the vice president of Baima Academy, Yue Chunsheng, did not take action, as if they were just here to watch the battle.
It was not until Chen Jiezhi, Xu Xingzhi and others appeared in Chang'an City that Taoist Huang Ye and Yue Chunsheng took action one after another and joined the besieging camp.
"The last time Pindao contacted the mountain gate, the master brother has left the mountain gate." Huangye Taoist replied.
Yue Chunsheng also nodded: "Master Hong has left the academy. Although Yue does not know his current whereabouts, he should be arriving in Longbei soon."
Situ Jinsheng nodded when he heard this: "If that's the case, that would be great."
Li Yi snorted: "Go to Qinzhou City to practice."
The vast army of the Eastern Tang Dynasty immediately entered Qinzhou Prefecture.
The people of Qinzhou were overwhelmed by the sudden arrival of the Tang army.
Li Yi settled down and felt unhappy.
Taoist Zhichen sat aside and said calmly: "Last time, we only had the eighth realm, Zi Ri. This time, there are so many of us, and we are still hesitating. It's a pity."
Li Yi drank heavily and said nothing.
Taoist Zhichen looked at him: "If Your Highness attacks the city now, I am willing to go with you."
Situ Jinsheng said from the side: "There may be masters of the ninth level in Chang'an City."
Li Yi glanced at his uncle, finally put down his wine glass and nodded.
Situ Jinsheng's meaning is very clear.
Everyone had hit a wall when dealing with Li Jie in the Ninth Realm before, and now it is equally risky to attack Chang'an rashly.
For Li Yi, who aspires to be the heir apparent, he cannot afford to suffer two consecutive losses in a short period of time.
Let Dahe Longmen and his party get support and escape into Chang'an, and there is already the risk of being questioned again.
What's more, he secretly killed Gao Yu.
Under this situation, if Li Yi made any mistakes in his travels, it would be difficult for Li Yi to get through with the king of Tang.
Staying outside Longling, not daring to step inside, made the proud Li Yi feel aggrieved.
He had just received news of the demise of the Hu family.
The person who made the contribution was none other than the crown prince Li Hong.
I thought I could suppress the opponent in one round this time, but I didn't expect that I would miss again and again, and instead the opponent would regain his momentum.
How could the proud and arrogant Li Yi swallow his breath?
But he knew that Situ Jinsheng was speaking cautiously, and he should listen to it at this time.
He couldn't afford another failure.
Li Yi calmed down again and thought of more aspects.
His father, who was already good at driving wolves and devouring tigers, used White Horse Academy and Qingyun Temple to deal with Chang'an City.
In turn, Chang'an City was also used to weaken the two most prestigious holy places of Confucianism and Yiyi.
When the master of Qingyun Temple and the dean of Baima Academy were not present, Li Yi led his men to attack Chang'an first, which was tantamount to messing up the plan of the king of Tang Dynasty.
By then, even if we win, I'm afraid it won't gain much points in the eyes of King Tang.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Yi was not only not depressed, but also sweating from behind.
Although he was afraid, he was very happy.
Li Yi and Situ Jinsheng looked at each other.
The head of the Situ family's eyes were as calm as water.
Looking at Li Yi, he knew that Li Yi had woken up.
Trying to show off one's strength and risking an attack on Chang'an would really mean a life-and-death struggle, but it would be his Situ family and Li Yi's cronies who would contribute, which would only damage their own strength.
Afterwards, the king of Tang Dynasty might be displeased, and it was true that he lost his wife and lost his troops.
"Many disciples of Wangzhen Guan are trapped in Chang'an. The Taoist priest is anxious. I can understand it."
Li Yi calmed down and comforted Taoist Zhichen: "But for now, Master Qingye of Qingyun Temple and Dean Hong Xiao of White Horse Academy will arrive soon. Let's wait for them."
Taoist Zhichen nodded: "That's fine."
Dong Tang and his party stopped in the capital city of Qinzhou and did not approach the Longling Mountain area rashly.
Chen Jiezhi and others, together with a group of Dahe Longmen warriors, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that the Tang army was no longer pursuing them.
After everyone from Dahe Longmen entered the mountain, they all felt incredible when facing the majestic city walls in the mountain.
And such a city is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside, which is even more shocking.
However, what shocked them the most was the dazzling light above their heads after entering the inner city.
Looking up, there seemed to be a much lower sun in the sky.
In the sunshine, it looks like a palace, like a fairyland in the sky.
"Junior sister Shang, what is that?" Han Zhe, the elder of Dahe Longmen, couldn't help but lower his voice when faced with such a scene.
"That's the Daming Palace, the residence of the real owner of Chang'an City." Shang Jie also whispered.
Others, including another elder Zhang Chong, were speechless as they looked at the shining palace in the sky.
"Do you all know the rules of Chang'an City?"
Mr. Wuyun said calmly.
Zhang Chong and Han Zhe took the lead, and everyone in Dahe Longmen said in unison: "We are grateful to Chang'an for saving us. If we can stay in Chang'an, we should naturally abide by Chang'an's rules."
Generally speaking, when Dahe Longmen's disciples walk outside, most of them hate evil as much as they hate their enemies, and they try to eliminate violence and live in peace.
The reason why he was unwilling to surrender to the Eastern Tang Dynasty was precisely because he was dissatisfied with the harsh rule of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the fact that the top beam was not straight and the bottom beam was crooked.
When I came to Chang'an, it wasn't like no one raised any objections.
But Shang Jie and Wen Hu's many descriptions dispelled most people's doubts.
Under the rule of Chang'an, it was obviously much stronger than that of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Although the lord of Chang'an City is mysterious and unpredictable, in general, he is considerate and caring for the people.
Although they took in demon practitioners such as Old Demon Xueying and Hu Ming, these people did not cause harm to the common people after entering Chang'an.
This made everyone in Dahe Longmen rather flee all the way and come to Chang'an with heavy casualties than surrender to the royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun nodded with satisfaction.
As the people from Dahe Longmen entered the city, the number of practitioners in Chang'an City increased dramatically.
During this period of time in the city, a large number of first-level beginners were trained. It did not require them to have high potential in the future, as long as they could get started now.
Then call all the people from the Pili Sect and Hanshan Sect who are scattered outside the city into the city.
The number of practitioners here has increased, while many ordinary people there have left Chang'an and returned to their hometowns.
As a result of this ebb and flow, the current number of practitioners in Chang'an City finally reached one percent of the total population.
[The current population of Chang'an is 432,794 people, and the total number of practitioners is 4,331]
[The number of practitioners exceeds one percent of the current population. The city owner completed construction task 4.4 and obtained 2,000 upgrade experience points]
Zhang Dongyun let out a long breath.
The pressure line is up to standard.
Fortunately, some civilians were moved out before.
[The city lord construction task has been upgraded to 5,100 experience points, and the guardian task has been upgraded to 4,300 experience points to meet the fourth city expansion requirements. Do you want to expand immediately? 】
After Zhang Dongyun thought for a while, he gave the answer:
Hold off on expansion for now.
He projected Mr. Wuyun, used the power of Invincible City to virtualize, and gave some miraculous medicine to the injured Chen Jiezhi, Wan Li and others, as well as Zhang Chong, Han Zhe and others from Dahe Longmen, asking them to heal their injuries first.
Zhang Dongyun had already heard the news from Hanshan Sect disciples that Li Yi, Situ Jinsheng and others had stopped in Qinzhou Mansion.
The other party didn't leave, but he didn't enter the mountain either. He was obviously waiting for someone.
The people who have to wait are nothing more than the three masters of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
King of Tang Dynasty.
The Lord of Qingyun Temple.
Dean of White Horse Academy.
Now maybe we can add the Great River Dragon King Li Jie, but the premise is that he who has just broken through to the ninth realm can escape the pursuit of King Tang.
Li Yi and others, Zhang Dongyun was a little hesitant.
Mr. Wuyun in the city did not say anything. Chen Jiezhi, Xu Xingzhi and others were also wondering why Chang'an did not launch a counterattack this time when the Eastern Tang Dynasty had already pressed its army against the border.
Could it be that with so many troops coming to the city this time, Chang'an should be cautious?
But it shouldn't be, not to mention that Mr. Wu Yun is extremely powerful. Even if he is not sure, there is still the city lord himself who can move mountains and seas and has great magical powers.
Others murmured, while Zhang Dongyun was a little confused.
Of course, what he was struggling with was not whether he could take down Li Yi and others, even if the opponent was currently outside the scope of Invincible City.
A certain city lord named Zhang was wondering whether he should wait for the master of the ninth realm to come.
Wait, it would be great to win the ninth realm, but the enemies in the ninth realm have covered Li Yi and others in the eighth realm. The system will not generate tasks for Li Yi and others, which wastes a lot of experience points.
No wait, if we capture these people in the eighth realm immediately, will it scare those in the ninth realm away from coming?
In short, he was worried that he would use too much force and scare the other party...
City Lord Zhang D struggled for a moment, but finally chose to be the first to be safe.
The Mr. Wuyun he projected looked at Zhang Chong and others and said calmly: "Now, I will give you a chance to serve Chang'an, and I will also give you a chance to avenge your shame yourself."
Zhang Chong and others all looked over.
"Follow me down the mountain." Mr. Wu Yun put his hands on his back, stepped on the black clouds, and floated down the mountain.
At the moment, Zhang Chong, the senior and most powerful elder of the Dahe Dragon Sect in Chang'an, took a deep breath: "The disciples of the Dragon Sect above the fourth level, follow Mr. Wu Yun down the mountain with me."
Han Zhe, Shang Jie and others immediately agreed.
The long period of escaping and being chased did not weaken their courage. Instead, it turned into a blazing fire in their hearts.
Zhang Chong and others followed Mr. Wu Yun all the way down the mountain.
But they had just left the Longling Mountains and were about to enter the plains when suddenly dust began to fly on the plains ahead.
A new majestic, seemingly endless city wall appears out of thin air and rises from the ground!
