The old demon of blood shadow replied respectfully:
"The old slave will tell them to prevent the other party from retreating into the deserted sea and try to encircle and suppress them on the shore."
Zhang Dongyun said "hmm" obediently.
To the east of Dongjiang is the great ocean.
But in fact, there are also large sea areas to the south and north.
It's just that the South China Sea is warm to the feet, and the northernmost border of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the north is a sea of ice.
As the Eastern Xinjiang Continent goes west, the westernmost tip of the Western Zhou Dynasty and even the westernmost tip of the Western Chu Dynasty are also close to the sea.
The ocean going to the west is, according to old legend, customarily called the Wild Sea.
The wilderness stretches endlessly, not much worse than the ocean to the east.
Eastern Xinjiang is far away from the Central Plains where Taiqing Palace, Jiufeng Academy, Zhongyue Temple, Lingguang Temple and other places are located. They are separated by the sea and are far away from each other.
Only high-level practitioners can fly by themselves.
Most of the rest rely on special sea ships to cross the ocean.
However, because the distance is too long and supplies are inconvenient, similar boat trips are extremely rare.
Eastern Xinjiang is not said to be isolated from China, but at least it can be said that there is very little communication between them.
However, there are many islands near the coast of Dongjiang mainland.
Among them, there are many places suitable for people to live.
The royal families of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Western Chu Dynasty still had accompanying people. If it was difficult to gain a foothold on the mainland, they might retreat to the sea.
The natural conditions at sea are harsher than those on land, and there are more interference factors.
Not to mention that ordinary officers and soldiers cannot arrive, there are also many objective obstacles for practitioners to cross the ocean to attack the islands.
Unless you are overwhelmed by strength, it will be far less easy than on land.
However, it must be said that it is not easy on land.
The opponent has more than one Ninth Realm master. Now that they are united together, their strength is actually quite strong.
It's just that none of them can do anything to Tang She, who is also in the ninth realm.
Tan Snake Meteorite practices the method given by Chang'an City, and is quite powerful.
Although he has not completely lost his hybrid characteristics, he can already display some magical powers that only pure-blood snakes can possess, and can fully exert their power.
So Tang She, the leader of Tang Qingxia Villa, Yun Mo, the leader of Zhou Huanglei Sect, Zhuo Sui, the director of Zhou Xiuyuan Academy, Cao Ranran, and four Ninth Realm masters, all pushed across the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The Western Zhou Dynasty could only retreat steadily.
They pushed to the far west of Dongjiang Continent, and when they approached the deserted sea, they were surrounded by a group of masters from Chang'an.
At the critical moment, a savior suddenly came from the sea.
Under the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Biyu Island, a famous martial arts sect that had always been friendly with the royal family and was almost equivalent to legal pirates, always dominated the deserted sea in the west.
At this moment, they rushed to the rescue from the sea in time, so the people who escaped successfully left the shore and entered the sea after paying a certain price of death and injury.
Tang Snake Meteor doesn't like to deal with water. Zhuo Zui, Yun Mo and others pursue him, but they are not familiar with the conditions at sea.
In the end, the other party successfully escaped.
Everyone felt pity and had no choice but to order people to enforce martial law at the seaside and keep a close eye on the movements at sea. Then, they reorganized the inland areas of the Western Zhou Dynasty, completely pacified all parties and restored people's production.
After everything was generally stable, Zhuo Zui entrusted Yunmo and other people from the Tang Dynasty to guard the Western Zhou Dynasty for the time being.
Together with Cao Ranran and other people from the Western Zhou Dynasty, he went to Chang'an to have an audience.
After the Eastern Tang and Western Chu fell into the hands of Chang'an, it was now the turn of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The major sects and forces in the Western Zhou Dynasty began to have different choices.
Like Xianyuan Academy, the number of people who took the initiative to serve in Chang'an began to increase.
There are sects of all sizes, big and small.
Not everyone is qualified to go to Chang'an City to have an audience.
Those who can be selected are all the most influential powerful families and sects in the local area.
Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Wu Yun into the Tianshu Hall.
Here he saw six people.
Five stood and one was forced to kneel.
Mr. Wuyun's eyes first fell on the kneeling old man.
Although the other party was suppressed by Zhuo Zui and could not move, he still glared at Mr. Wu Yun with an unyielding look on his face.
"You are invading our territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if you succeed for a while, you will definitely be wiped out in the future." The old man shouted loudly: "The laws of heaven are clear and retribution will not be good!"
He turned around and glared at the five Zhuo Zui people standing beside him: "None of you who are working for the tiger can escape!"
Mr. Wu Yun looked calm and unmoved, looking at Zhuo Sui.
"Sir, this person is Xu Yunming, the dean of Jingyin Academy. He was captured alive by me. He was stubborn and refused to surrender. I brought him back to ask you to punish me," Zhuo Zui replied.
Mr. Wuyun nodded slightly.
In the Eastern Tang Dynasty, there were three major academies: Baima, Tingshan and Songyang.
There were also three major academies in the Western Zhou Dynasty, namely Xiuyuan Academy, Zhengxiao Academy and Jingyin Academy.
Among them, Xianyuan Academy has never been favored by the Western Zhou royal family.
Few Xiuyuan students served as officials in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and most of them stayed behind closed doors and concentrated on studying.
Zhengxiao Academy and Jingyin Academy have relatively close relations with the royal family.
Both academies had a large number of teachers and students who were officials in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
A large part of the court in the Western Zhou Dynasty were students from these two families.
Among them, there is no lack of Zhou Wang's intention to balance the left and right and use the two major academies to restrict each other.
Internally, this was the case; externally, the king of Zhou supported Zhengxiao Academy and Jingyin Academy, used Confucianism to govern Confucianism, and used it to suppress Xianyuan Academy.
This time when Chang'an attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty, the two families tried their best to be loyal to the emperor and protect the king.
As a result, the dean of Zhengxiao Academy and a small number of teachers and students went to sea with the Western Zhou royal family to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Chang'an.
The dean of Jingyin Academy was captured by Zhuo Sui during the war.
"Throw it to the Heavenly Punishment Hall."
Mr. Wu Yun didn't care about Xu Yunming, the dean of Jingyin Academy, and only ordered Zhuo Sui to take him down.
Xu Yunming was ready to scold him again, but found that he could not make a sound and could only remain silent as Zhuo Sui took him away.
There are four people left in the hall.
One of the elegant old men, after looking at Xu Yunming's appearance, shook his head slightly and sighed.
On the one hand, I feel pity for the other person and feel intolerable; on the other hand, I feel that the other person is insulting and polite.
Mr. Wuyun's eyes fell on this old man.
The elegant old man bowed to him: "Cao Ranran of Xianyuan Academy has met Mr. Wu Yun."
Mr. Wu Yun nodded slightly: "Dean Cao made the right choice and deserves praise."
After Zhuo Zui left with Xu Yunming, the dean of Jingyin Academy, there were four people left in the hall, and only this elegant old man was in the ninth realm.
Mr. Wu Yun knew the identity of the other party without asking.
The dean of Xianyuan Academy, Cao Ranran, was the first master of Confucianism in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"When I come here, I need to apologize to the Lord of Chang'an City and Mr. Wuyun first."
Dean Cao then said: "I once went to Chang'an to govern Hexi County."
Daming Palace Zhang Dongyun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
When people arrived in Hexi County, he, the city lord, didn't know about it, which meant that the other party came before the sixth expansion of Invincible City.
After the sixth upgrade and expansion, the entire Hexi County was included in the system.
Without entering the scope of Invincible City, it would be difficult for City Lord Zhang to discover him.
He is a great Confucian in the Ninth Realm. He keeps a low profile and keeps a low profile. It is difficult for practitioners from Chang'an in Hexi County to detect his whereabouts.
In the Tianshu Hall, the other three people all looked at Cao Ranran with some surprise.
Mr. Wu Yun looked as usual, just looking at the other party quietly.
Cao Ranran said: "I came here alone because I heard about the events in Chang'an, so I wanted to see how the people live here. After seeing it, I found that your Majesty is a really wise king, especially better than Gao Tiankai of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Ji Fang of the Western Zhou Dynasty. As for the Eastern Tang Dynasty
Not to mention Li Xuanxin."
Mr. Wu Yun asked calmly: "If that's the case, why did you wait until now to wake up?"
Cao Ranran smiled bitterly: "Let me laugh, sir. I was injured at the hands of an eighth-level scholar in blue and had to recuperate for some time."
What he said actually contained an element of self-effacement.
The other party was also injured because of him.
However, the other party recovered from his injuries much faster than him.
"King Zhou Ji Fang always keeps a close eye on Lao Chen. During Lao Chen's days, he has to keep a low profile to prevent other teachers and students in the academy from being implicated before Chang'an arrives."
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smiled slightly after hearing this.
The scholar in blue mentioned by Cao Ranran undoubtedly refers to Zhang Zhongxing, a student from Jiufeng Academy.
This guy came from the desert sea in the west and landed in the eastern Xinjiang. Then starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty, he looked for famous scholars to learn from each other.
Or, it should be said that challenge is more appropriate.
Cao Ranran was the first person to practice Confucianism in the Western Zhou Dynasty, so Zhang Zhongxing would not miss it.
After he passed through the Western Zhou Dynasty, he came to the Eastern Tang Dynasty again, and had another fight with Hong Xiao, the dean of Baima Academy.
Later, he had no chance and was directly detained by Zhang Dongyun. Now he is still working as a coolie.
This person was born in Jiufeng Academy in the Middle Earth, and studied under Confucian Wen Zong. He has good talents, and his cultivation ability cannot be underestimated when competing with others.
Although he is in the eighth realm, he does have the strength to fight Cao Ranran in the ninth realm and both sides will suffer.
A middle-aged scribe next to Cao Ranran suddenly said: "Mr. Cao, has that fellow disciple of Kuansheng in blue ever been to your courtyard?"
Hearing this, Cao Ranran nodded: "I've been here before. The old man told him that Mr. Zhang is heading east."
That middle-aged scribe was none other than Wang Xuan, the head of the Wang family in Lianyuan County of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"He also came to Wang's house." Wang Xuan paused and continued: "Next, he continued to go east."
Continuing eastward from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is naturally the land of Chang'an.
Wang Xuan said: "This person's cultivation level is higher than that of the crazy man in blue. At least he is in the ninth realm, the cultivation base of his family."
"No, he is the master." Cao Ranran said solemnly at this time.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun frowned slightly.
In the land of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Zhongxing’s colleagues were not seen coming.
The other party made such a high-profile move and successively visited the gates of Xianyuan Academy and the Wang family. It was obvious that they followed the order of Zhang Zhongxing's challenge.
Baima Academy and Songyang Academy are gone.
But Tingshan Academy is still there, and I haven't heard of him ever visiting.
Where has this kid gone?
etc……
Suddenly an idea flashed in Zhang Dongyun's mind.
Liyang Temple is also located in the eastern part of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and is generally close to the direction of Chang'an.
Ying Xiao, I was at Liyang Temple earlier. Would he have stopped the Confucian master from Jiufeng Academy in the middle of the road?
