Xie Han, the head of the Xie family, was already one of the few martial arts masters outside the royal family in the Western Chu Dynasty.
Basically, besides Wu Xiao, the owner of Hidden Sword Villa, he ranks first.
When Chang'an occupied Western Chu, the Xie family was one of the people who took the initiative to open the door to welcome them.
"Hidden Sword Villa has been destroyed?" Mr. Wu Yun asked.
Xie Han, the head of the Xie family, replied: "I, together with Brother Ling and Brother Lu, jointly attacked Hidden Sword Villa."
The owner of the villa, Wu Xiao, is dead. Although there are other masters in the villa, they cannot withstand the Xuanhe Academy, the Ling family, and the Xie family who join forces to encircle and suppress him.
"Hidden Sword Villa martial arts inheritance is good at disappearing and hiding its whereabouts, so it has escaped a few fish that slipped through the net."
Ling Qingfeng, the head of the Ling family, said from the side: "I, Brother Xie, Brother Lu and others will step up the investigation."
It's impossible not to investigate.
For their own sake, they must do their best.
They worked together to destroy Hidden Sword Villa, but the martial arts inheritance here was good at hidden assassinations.
If the disciples of the other sect come back to take revenge, they, the leaders with high cultivation level, are not afraid, but they also have to worry about the disciples and their families.
Therefore, they will definitely try their best to eradicate the problem.
Zhang Dongyun was naturally not worried about this. After projecting Mr. Wuyun to praise the other party a few words, he let them go their separate ways.
Then, he made Mr. Wuyun disappear in the Tianshu Hall and project himself in the Tianpu Hall.
Xiao Pengcheng, Xu Yunming and others will continue to be locked up for now.
Mr. Wu Yun came to the Heavenly Punishment Hall to meet someone else this time.
"Have you thought it through?" He looked at the man in front of him and asked calmly.
The man said solemnly: "I am willing to serve Chang'an. I dare not raise conditions with Chang'an. I just hope that your majesty and sir will be compassionate and open-minded."
Mr. Wu Yun said calmly: "Then it depends on your own performance."
The man bowed to him: "Tang Ze is willing to die for Chang'an."
He is none other than Tang Ze, the former secret guard commander of the Western Chu Dynasty, a master of the eighth level of the Demonic Blood Cloud Peng Transformation, and has already cultivated into a demon soul.
When he came to Chang'an before, he was detained for no apparent reason, and he felt unwilling and angry.
But as time passed, he gradually realized the magic and power of Chang'an.
While there is a faint yearning in my heart, I am also more worried about the Western Chu Dynasty.
He felt that Xi Chu could not stop Chang'an's offensive.
The news I learned later also confirmed this.
The King of Chu died, and Chang'an captured Western Chu.
There was no hatred in Tang Ze's heart.
Practicing the devil's path has made him cold-natured and hard to have feelings for anyone.
But he still has his own principles.
The King of Chu was kind to him, so he devoted himself to serving Western Chu for many years to repay his kindness.
The other party is now dead, and he is unable to avenge him, so he can only do the next best thing, hoping to preserve the blood of the other party's heirs.
To achieve this, only if you are useful to Chang'an and make contributions to Chang'an can you have room to plead for mercy.
Therefore, Tang Ze took the initiative to ask for Chang'an's surrender.
He had been doing hard labor for a long time, so Zhang Dongyun let him go.
"However, you must keep in mind that those who are willing to surrender to Chang'an will be exempted from death penalty."
Mr. Wu Yun said lightly: "Those who are stupid and stubborn will only die."
Tang Ze said in a deep voice: "I understand."
Mr. Wu Yun nodded: "Go back to the land of Chu, there is room for you to show your talents."
"...Yes, sir."
Tang Ze was slightly surprised.
The other party actually has a certain attitude of not trusting people when they are employed and not trusting people when they are not used.
With this thought, Tang Ze also made up his mind to live up to the trust of the other party.
He is emotionally indifferent, even cold-hearted, but he adheres to several principles, including repaying kindness and honoring his words.
Tang Ze said no more words, and after bidding farewell to Mr. Wu Yun, he returned to his old place in Chu.
As the former commander of the royal secret guard, his status in Western Chu was equivalent to Yang Li's previous role as the leader of the secret pavilion in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The former Dark Night Emperor of Western Chu returned to his homeland of Chu, where guerrillas were hidden everywhere. Those who were dissatisfied with Chang'an were immediately attacked.
It would be much easier for Tang Ze to find them out than Ling Qingfeng, Xie Han and others.
Zhang Dongyun left the matter to the other party and stopped worrying about Xi Chu's affairs.
He began to focus more on construction tasks and improving people's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although the mission requirements only mention the rule of Chang'an, strictly speaking, it is only the coverage of the system, which is more than a dozen counties.
But since the Western Zhou Dynasty, Western Chu and the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty now respect themselves and obey their orders, then the people in these places should naturally benefit from Chang'an's policy.
The land area of the three dynasties was extremely huge.
Its population is an astronomical figure.
However, City Master Zhang doesn’t have the habit of taking matters into his own hands.
He prefers to set general directions and policies and then leave specific matters to his subordinates to complete.
As for him, apart from the task of building the temple, he concentrates on practicing.
From the eighth realm to the ninth realm, there is another big threshold.
Many martial arts practitioners have been stuck at this level for a long time.
It was with his guidance that Xiyunmo broke through the long-standing bottleneck.
Zhang Dongyun is currently practicing on his own, with a body gifted with spiritual stone jade, superb secret books, and a large amount of spiritual energy from Invincible City. Of course, it is not as difficult as others.
However, some water grinding work is still needed.
He slowly polished his evil spirit and prepared to condense his royal domineering energy.
You don’t know how long the sun and the moon last when you practice.
In this way, about three months have passed.
During this period, some people are happy and some are worried.
After Yun Mo, the owner of Qingxia Villa, there is another martial arts ghost hero in the eighth realm, Zheng Tianfeng, the head of the Zheng family, who successfully broke through to the ninth realm and began to condense the domineering power of the king.
Zheng Tianfeng has stayed in the eighth realm for almost thirty years.
This bottleneck has always stuck with him. Seeing that he is getting older, entering senility, and his energy and blood are gradually declining. Zheng Tianfeng has even given up thinking in the past few years, feeling that he has no hope of the ninth realm in this life.
But the Xuanyuan Fruit and Mountain God Rock given by Chang'an City changed his fate.
After several months of hard work and practice, he finally succeeded in breaking through his calmness and reached the ninth realm.
Zheng Tianfeng was overjoyed, and the Zheng family was equally overjoyed.
This was an unimaginable situation in the Eastern Tang Dynasty in the past.
After this incident, the Zheng family's loyalty to Chang'an City has reached a high level as a whole.
When other people saw this, they were also envious in their hearts, and they all hoped that they could make great achievements like Zheng Tianfeng, Taoist Zhichen, Ziri Laomo, the owner of Jingyue Tower Yan Xishi, and then reach the sky in one step.
However, Ren Yichao from Lingxiao Sect was not in a good mood anymore.
He went to the Snow Mountain again and met with the leader Ning Heng.
However, Ning Heng and others still refused to surrender to Chang'an.
Faced with the siege of Xueshan by the He family and Dahe Longmen, they were forced to retreat to the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Of course, Ning Heng and others were not willing to bow to the Northern Qi Dynasty.
But the Northern Qi Dynasty is currently busy waging war with Chang'an, so it may not be able to drive them away.
Maybe even borrow their strength.
At that time, they will have room to move around, so that they will not be like a real person under the eaves, relying on others to breathe.
Chang'an, on the other hand, stopped pursuing them after they retreated into the Northern Qi territory.
Although Chang'an and the Northern Qi Dynasty are currently at war in the west, Chang'an does not seem to have any plans to open a second front.
Ling Xiao sent Ning Heng and others to temporarily avoid disaster and gain some stability.
Ren Yichao stayed in Daxue Mountain, and for the first time he resisted returning to Chang'an.
To be more precise, he should be afraid of returning to Chang'an.
He is not afraid of Chang'an punishing him, but he is afraid of Chang'an ordering him to deal with Ning Heng and others with his own hands.
But after a brief period of confusion, Ren Yichao strengthened his belief and returned to Chang'an.
"If sir gives orders, I will always be ready to join the pursuit."
After returning to Chang'an City, Ren Yichao's mood had completely calmed down and he no longer hesitated.
"If you have this intention, it's the best thing to do."
Mr. Wu Yun said calmly: "Right now, there is no rush."
In the main hall, someone else walked into it: "I want to go back to Wutian Peak in person."
The visitor turned out to be Lin Ying, a ninth-level martial arts master and the head of Wutian Peak, a famous martial arts school in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
"The Northern Qi royal family must be secretly watching our sect. If Junior Brother Chen and the others go back, the risk is too high if they are discovered."
Lin Yingyan said: "It would be better for me to go there myself."
Mr. Wu Yun heard this and nodded: "I hope your fellow disciples can make the right choice. In the land of the Tang Dynasty, you must have heard about what happened to the Hu family last year?"
"Sir, don't worry, Lin." Lin Ying nodded.
Mr. Wu Yun waved his hand: "Go."
When Chang'an City had just replaced the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the other six dynasties in Eastern Xinjiang were not particularly shaken.
But in less than half a year, Chang'an once again won the Western Chu Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty.
A small part of the entire Eastern Xinjiang continent is under control.
This was a huge shock to the four kingdoms of Northern Qi, Eastern Jin, Southern Chen, and Southern Liang.
Right now, there are undercurrents surging within the major dynasties.
The royal family is naturally facing a formidable enemy.
However, some famous forces within the four dynasties have various thoughts.
Chang'an treats ordinary people kindly, which may not touch some people very much.
However, Yunmo and Zheng Tianfeng, who were originally in the eighth realm, successively broke through to the ninth realm.
Gu Hechuan, who is in the seventh realm, breaks through to the eighth realm.
The news came one after another, which touched the nerves of many people.
Can one person make progress by accident? Is it still accidental that many people in a row make progress in just half a year?
This made many people feel secretly alive.
The Northern Qi Dynasty, which was at war with Chang'an, was no exception.
Of course, the royal family is working hard to unite all the major sects in the country to fight against Chang'an.
But the ideas of these sects are different.
On this day, a snow gull flew over Yuquan Peak.
Snow Ou went straight into the elixir recipe of Master Miaoqing at Yuquan Peak.
As soon as it fell into the hands of Master Miaoqing, the snow gull turned into real ice and snow.
But writings appeared on the ice and snow.
Master Miaoqing looked at the words and pondered for a long time without saying a word.
The door of the alchemy room opened, and Taoist Feishuang, the first disciple of Master Miaoqing, walked in:
