The relationship between Tianyi Sect and the Nanliang Dynasty was not harmonious and even deeply contradictory.
But when facing Chang'an City, they could not just bow their heads like Lushan Palace and Chuyang Temple.
If the headmaster of the Tianyi Sect, Master Konghai, had previously pretended to defect to Chang'an City and act as an internal support for Yingxiao, he immediately stopped thinking about this after seeing the fate of Zicheng Mountain in Western Chu and Liyang Temple in Western Zhou Dynasty.
As a result, he suffered constant blows from enemies even bigger than Nanliang.
Facing the Nanliang Dynasty, Tianyi Sect could still support itself along the coast.
But facing Chang'an, Tianyi Sect could only shrink to the distant sea with all its strength.
If you run a little full, you may be blocked by Yun Mo and others.
The meteorite doesn't like water, but it doesn't chase it into the sea.
But with Yunmo and Zheng Tianfeng, two ninth-level masters, Kukai Zhenren was no match for one against two, so he could only run away.
Now with the addition of Fu Jingbo, the head of the Nanshan Sect, Kukai Master has no thoughts at all.
The Tianyi Sect's power shrank significantly, and many people were captured or forced to surrender.
This once-number one Taoist sect in Nanliang has now completely disappeared from Nanhai and has become history.
Only Kukai Zhenren and other powerful people at the top managed to escape.
But now he still has to face the pursuit of Chang'an masters.
Right now, Master Kukai can only hope that Yingxiao will show up as soon as possible and lead a group of masters from the Immortal Family of Taiqing Palace to defeat the city of Chang'an.
Otherwise, if this continues, he will have to seriously consider whether to simply surrender to Chang'an, which would have a better outcome.
After Mr. Wu Yun gave the order, Fu Jingbo immediately went south to join the encirclement and pursuit of Kukai Zhenren.
However, after Yu Shaohai lost contact, Chengbei Taoist and Shi Ke returned to the land of Guliang, stabilized the place, and transformed the land of Guliang into Chang'an management in accordance with Chang'an regulations.
As for Yan Shenghua, he can only work as a coolie in Chang'an for a while.
Eastern Tang, Western Chu, Western Zhou, and Nanliang were gradually brought under Chang'an's control, and four of the seven Eastern Xinjiang kingdoms were eliminated.
Chang'an's power to swallow up the world is no longer concealed at all.
The remaining three dynasties in Eastern Xinjiang began to feel uneasy.
Members of the three royal families felt almost suffocating pressure.
…………
The northernmost part of the Northern Qi Dynasty also faced the deserted sea.
However, because of the extreme cold, people from the Northern Qi Dynasty used to call this place the North Sea or the Ice Sea.
On this day, a purple auspicious cloud appeared above the ice sea.
On the purple cloud, stood a Taoist priest in white.
The young Taoist priest dressed in white looked into the distance and stood silently.
After an unknown amount of time, his eyes finally flashed slightly.
In the distance, on the ice sea full of ice floes, another purple auspicious cloud gradually appeared.
The young Taoist priest stepped forward and said, "Brother Gusong, you have finally arrived."
"Killing an ancient sea ray from the Starlight Realm on the way will delay the journey a little."
The visitor stood on the purple clouds, also wearing a white robe. He looked to be between thirty and forty years old, with three long beards and an immortal air.
"Junior Brother Gumu, are you sure that the Chang'an City you mentioned contains people above the ninth level?" Master Gusong asked.
The young Taoist priest nodded: "Probably there is more than one."
Master Gu Song said: "Then you and I may not be able to securely win over each other."
"What senior brother said is exactly what I am concerned about." The young Taoist priest replied: "So, let's not take action yet."
"What are your plans next?" Gu Songzhen walked to the purple cloud at the opponent's feet.
The young Taoist priest took Master Gusong with him: "In Jiufeng Academy, a disciple of Wenzong who wrote books came here to look for someone. His fellow disciples may also be trapped in Chang'an. We can look for him together."
Master Gu Song nodded: "This is the best thing."
Ziyun passed through the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty and flew to the southeast.
Finally, they arrived at the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and went to a private school in the field to find Liao Ping, a student of Jiufeng Academy.
Liao Ping stayed here, but the local owner only regarded him as an ordinary scholar and did not know his true identity.
After saying hello to the other party, Liao Ping came out and met with brothers Gu Mu and Gu Song.
"It turns out that Taoist priest Gu Song is here. I have admired him for a long time." Liao Ping greeted him.
Master Gu Song also nodded slightly: "I have also admired Mr. Liao's name for a long time."
After listening to the young Taoist priest's explanation of his purpose, Liao Ping said: "Chang'an has a tendency to devour the Eastern Border area, which should not be underestimated. I also agree with Taoist Gu Mu that the opponent may be more than one master above the ninth realm, or... "
He paused for a moment, and then continued: "There are more skilled masters than the three of us."
He is a master in the first realm of Confucianism and writing, also known as the tenth realm of Confucian practice.
The two Taoist priests in front of him were similar to him in cultivation. Both of them were in the first realm of Taoist Yuanshen, the realm of transformation into gods.
According to the algorithm of superposition of nine realms, it can also be called the tenth realm of Taoist practice.
Chang'an City is mysterious and powerful, which makes Liao Ping wary.
He had previously thought that the opponent was surrounded by multiple ninth-level masters, or that a tenth-level master took action to capture Zhang Zhongxing.
But now it seems that it may be more unusual.
"There are rumors in the Western Zhou Dynasty that have been flowing here." Liao Ping said: "I heard that a golden-winged roc in the Xinghui realm also died in Chang'an."
The young Taoist priest nodded: "I have heard this news, and it may not be groundless."
Liao Ping said: "I have contacted the academy, but I don't know how many people can come to help."
The young Taoist priest was not surprised by this.
On the way here, he heard his fellow apprentice Gu Songzhenren mention that there was a conflict between Jiufeng Academy and Yansheng Mansion in China.
Liao Ping didn't say it clearly, but the two brothers Gu Mu and Gu Song could understand his inner difficulties.
Because we all share the same problem.
Their master's sect, Taiqing Palace, was currently at war with another Taoist holy land.
After hearing Master Gu Song's euphemistic expression, Liao Ping frowned slightly: "Is it possible that there is nothing we can do about Chang'an City?"
"Not really."
The young Taoist priest said: "There is a place we can try."
He pointed to the guide.
Liao Ping suddenly said: "You mean, the golden-winged roc?"
The young Taoist priest nodded: "Yes, the Golden-winged Dapeng is now showing off its power. I heard that some of their disciples died in Chang'an City, and they will definitely not tolerate it."
Liao Ping nodded at first, but then frowned: "That's true, but is it possible that the Taoist priest has a relationship with the Golden-winged Dapeng?"
"I have never dealt with them." The young Taoist shook his head.
Liao Ping smiled bitterly: "Me neither."
He looked at Master Gu Song again, and Master Gu Song also shook his head: "How can a poor Taoist collude with evildoers?"
Liao Ping sighed: "Of course I know that the two Taoist priests will not collude with the demon clan, but how can we inform the Golden-winged Dapeng clan now?"
"Send the message back and ask the disciples for help. Let's see if we can contact you through a few rounds of contact."
The young Taoist priest said: "We just need to let Dapeng know, and they will naturally send their own people to Chang'an."
Liao Ping nodded: "That's all we have to do."
Master Gu Song said: "Pindao has already contacted his master, and also asked Mr. Liao to contact Jiufeng Academy to find a solution."
"That's natural," Liao Ping said.
He took out a scroll from his sleeve and unfolded it.
There is a poem written on the scroll.
When brothers Furumu and Furumatsu met, they were not concerned about the content of the poem, but about the handwriting.
They knew that this was a master from Jiufeng Academy who could see words as if they were faces, so they gave it to Liao Ping to carry with him.
If Liao Ping has something to do, he can pass it on to his elders through this calligraphy and painting.
At this moment, the scholar spoke directly to the calligraphy and painting.
Then the magic marks on the handwriting suddenly started to move.
The writing on it did not change, but ink flowed from the words, and a word was written in mid-air:
"read"
Liao Ping said respectfully: "The disciple is incompetent, so I'm bothering the teacher."
Then, he respectfully put the calligraphy and painting away.
"Let's just wait patiently." Liao Ping sighed.
Master Gu Song nodded.
The young Taoist priest said: "Don't set foot in the Chang'an area easily, but we can walk around the rest of the eastern border, and maybe we can make other discoveries."
Liao Ping and Gu Songzhen nodded: "That's fine."
The three of them first traveled around the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
…
At the same time, Zhang Dongyun, who was in Chang'an City, projected Mr. Wuyun to receive guests from the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Tianshu Hall.
The Wei family is one of the seven great families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Wei Kunxuan, the elder of the Wei family, handed over to Mr. Wu Yun: "Wei Kunxuan of the Wei family has met Mr. Wu Yun."
"No gift."
The old man in black said calmly.
After Wei Kunxuan thanked him, he explained: "The head of the family originally intended to visit in person, but the Sima family has been keeping a close eye on me recently. Sima Xuan has visited my Wei family's ancestral home twice in a row, each time unexpectedly, to prevent him from coming again for the third time.
, the head of the family has no choice but to stay at the ancestral home and ask the old man to come to Chang'an to meet the Chang'an City Lord and Mr. Wu Yun."
The so-called "Sima family" in his mouth refers to the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Sima Xuan is the current King of Jin.
Wei Chong, the head of the Wei family, is a great scholar in the ninth level. The Wei family also ranks first among the seven great families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The Wei Kunxuan who came here secretly to meet him is also a great scholar in the eighth realm, the realm of governing the country.
However, facing Chang'an's tendency to swallow up Eastern Xinjiang, they are now beginning to make new choices.
In short, the Wei family wants to change ships.
"Everyone in the family hopes to abandon darkness and embrace the light, bathing in the glory of Chang'an." Wei Kunxuan said respectfully.
Mr. Wu Yun nodded slightly: "Chang'an tolerates everyone who is loyal to the center and abides by Chang'an's rules. Naturally, your Wei family is no exception. However, in the near future, I need to see your sincerity."
Wei Kunxuan quickly replied: "Sir, please rest assured that everyone in our Wei family will definitely satisfy His Majesty and you."
After a short pause, he said: "Sima Xuan is still evil-minded and tries to resist Chang'an Tianwei.
During these days, he had been secretly communicating with the Gao family in the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Chen family in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and at the same time invited experts from various families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Regarding my Wei family, we have been monitored by many parties and tested repeatedly."
When Mr. Wu Yun heard this, he smiled faintly: "The fight between trapped beasts, the dying struggle."
