Before Yan Xi finished speaking, a fourth person appeared in front of Master Kukai.
The visitor said nothing, but looked at Master Kukai with a smile.
But the old Taoist priest felt a greater threat from him than Yan Xi, Huifang Zhenren, and Fu Jingbo.
"Prince Chen?"
Master Kukai looked at the other person and spoke slowly.
Chen Mengyang in front of him smiled slightly: "There is no longer a Nanchen monarch at this meeting. There is only Chen Mengyang, the head of the Chen family under the rule of Chang'an City."
Master Kukai took a deep breath.
Both in the ninth realm, Chen Mengyang's strength is even higher than that of Huifang Zhenren, Yan Xishi, and Fu Jingbo.
If not, how could he have been the king and hegemon in the Nanchen realm in the past?
Naturally, Chen Mengyang's cultivation strength was also higher than that of Kukai.
Facing Chen Mengyang alone, he had no choice but to run away.
Now led by Chen Mengyang, surrounded by a total of four Ninth Realm masters, Kukai Master could no longer escape even if he wanted to.
"The poor man surrenders."
Master Kukai said simply: "Pindao is willing to return to Chang'an with you and accept any punishment."
After he finished speaking, the four people around him said nothing and just looked at him quietly.
Master Kukai suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Chang'an has no clear request for you. You must be captured alive."
Yan Xi said coldly: "Among the seven regions in Eastern Xinjiang, Qi, Liang, Jin, and Chen have not decided on the position of general manager. We will use your merits to find a position."
Master Kukai's expression changed: "Are you worried that Pindao will compete with you?"
Yan Xi glanced at Chen Mengyang and said, "There are already too many people."
After saying that, he raised his hand, and immediately the sword light of nearly a hundred meters turned into a "crescent moon" and slashed at Master Kukai again.
When Master Kukai was trying to escape, Master Huifang attacked again from behind.
Fu Jingbo, who had been chasing him, did not take action at this time, but just watched from a distance.
Chen Mengyang seemed to have no intention of taking action. He stood beside him, smiling and saying nothing.
However, when Master Kukai was struggling to withstand the attacks of Master Yan Xishi and Master Huifang, the former King Chen suddenly moved.
He instantly approached Master Kukai.
Between the two, a water curtain suddenly rose as a barrier.
But Chen Mengyang shattered the opponent's protective true water with one punch.
His fist broke through the water curtain, and then hit Kukai Daoist.
Master Kukai had no time to use his water escape and was severely injured by the punch on the spot.
When his whole body was bleeding, he wanted to regain his strength, but the light of Yan Xi's sword was already in front of him.
Master Kukai shouted with astonishment.
The blood on his body actually combined with the sea water and turned into a blood-red water dragon, blocking the sword light.
But soon, a faint purple mist floated in, and Master Kukai was suddenly fascinated, and his soul was suppressed by Master Huifang's Taoism.
His expression temporarily stagnated in place.
At this moment, two figures flashed past him.
One is Yan Xishi holding a round shield.
One is Chen Mengyang who throws punches.
Two ninth-level martial arts masters squeezed Kukai's figure in the middle.
Then, the soul and body of Kukai, who was already seriously injured, were immediately destroyed.
Its flesh and blood were torn apart and exploded into blood mist.
Yan Xishi's shield and Chen Mengyang's fist collided together after destroying the life and body of Master Kukai.
Chen Mengyang stood still and watched the blood mist flying in all directions.
Yan Xi's figure was shaken back.
The flying blood mist splashed more and more in his direction.
However, the small round shield seemed to turn into a huge shield that covered the sky and the sun, blocking all the blood mist from splashing on Yan Xishi's body.
"Brother Chen is very skilled."
Yan Xishi put away his weapon and looked at Chen Mengyang calmly.
The smile on Chen Mengyang's face did not diminish, and he looked around at Master Hui Fang and Fu Jingbo: "Master Kukai's head will be recorded in the accounts of the four of us and divided equally."
Yan Xi said at the time: "Brother Chen's habit of dominating one party has not been completely changed. How the credit is recorded in the account is up to the four of us. Report the situation truthfully and Chang'an will have a fair judgment."
When Chen Mengyang heard this, the smile on his face disappeared.
However, he was not angry because of this, but solemnly bowed his fist to Yan Xishi:
"It was Chen who overstepped his bounds. Thank you, Master Yan, for reminding me."
Yan Xiang shook his head expressionlessly: "Brother Chen, there is no need to thank Yan, because Yan will also truthfully report your arrogant behavior just now."
Chen Mengyang said: "As it should be."
He glanced at Master Hui Fang.
If Yan didn't report it back then, Master Huifang would definitely report it later, so he couldn't avoid this disaster.
Now I just hope that Chang'an won't get angry because of this.
For him and the former Nanchen royal family, this time was a lesson.
The four of them immediately left the South China Sea and returned to the land of Eastern Xinjiang.
The news was quickly sent back to Chang'an City.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun didn't need to report to them, but he basically knew everything.
Because Chen Mengyang and others have his mark on them.
Through the mark on the other person's body, he witnessed the entire process of Kukai's death.
However, what disappointed him was that Master Kukai did not trigger the defense mission.
Maybe it was because the other party was not actually hostile to Chang'an, but was only trying to survive, so he resisted.
A ninth-level master is worth a thousand experience points. This time he failed to trigger the mission, which made City Master Zhang quite regretful.
Triggering the defense mission makes you a lot more proactive. You don't have to be limited to the Invincible City, and there is a lot of room for choice. These are all advantages.
The disadvantage is that the punishment is unstable and easy to waste.
Like Kukai Zhenren, if he enters the Invincible City and touches him, as long as he dares to resist, he can trigger the guardian mission and win it, and a thousand points of experience will fall into the pocket of Lord Zhang.
Now that it failed, City Lord Zhang inevitably felt a little melancholy in his heart.
As for the report made by Master Huifang against Chen Mengyang in the Yan year, Zhang Dongyun actually didn't take it too seriously.
Of course Chen Mengyang's actions were against the rules, but I believe that after being taught how to behave a few times, he will later know what he can and cannot do.
Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Wu Yun to handle the matter, and credit was only given to Master Huifang and Fu Jingbo in Yanxi.
In addition to his merits and demerits, Chen Mengyang still had to work for seven days.
The punishment is not too big, but it is enough to alert Chen Mengyang and he will not dare to do it again in the future.
However, Chen Mengyang breathed a sigh of relief because he only worked for seven days and did not affect other people in the former Nanchen royal family.
Now that they had made the decision, their family still actively shed their former royal color and actively tried to integrate into the rule of Chang'an.
So Zhang Dongyun is quite satisfied with them.
As far as he knew, Chen Mengyang and others were busy trying to marry Chen Jiezhi and his tribe.
The Chen family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Chen family of the Southern Chen royal family gradually merged.
There were no conflicts between the two parties in the past. Now they are both under the rule of Chang'an and unite with each other to get what they need.
The Chen family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was an old minister of Conglong in Chang'an City. He had joined Chang'an before it really rose to prominence.
The children of the Chen family have already spread throughout all key departments in Chang'an.
With the current expansion of Chang'an, not only have they not been marginalized, they have even received important tasks and traveled to various parts of Eastern Xinjiang to hold important positions.
Their only regret is that they were unable to secure any of the three general manager positions in Tangdi, including one chief, two mates, and two deputies.
This is more or less related to the cultivation strength of Chen Jie, the current leader of the Chen family in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
When Chen Jiezhi first entered Chang'an City, he was a warrior at the sixth level.
Later, with Chang'an's guidance on the mask, I was able to break through to the seventh level of martial arts.
After that, he made many meritorious deeds, and like Yan Xi, Zheng Tianfeng and others, he was rewarded with Xuanyuan Fruit and Mountain God Rock, which gave him hope to continue to reach higher realms.
But after all, time is still short and savings are limited, so he is still at the seventh level of cultivation strength.
There are too many experts from the Ninth Realm competing for the title of General Manager of the Tang Dynasty, far more than those from the other six regions.
He can't even be ranked in the eighth realm, let alone Chen Jiezhi in the seventh realm.
He had a small chance to win the position of deputy general manager of Zhoudi.
However, in view of the re-emergence of the Chen family in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, which was in need of a leader, he was indispensable, so Chen Jiezhi finally gave up, and the position fell into the hands of Zhang Chong, the elder of Dahe Longmen.
Pang Ge, the general manager of Liang Di, is also in the seventh level, but his situation is special, and Chen Jiezhi is not able to compare with him.
Losing the position of general manager of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Jiezhi and the Chen family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty once again faced a huge problem.
The Chen family was previously wiped out by the royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. The masters withered and suffered heavy casualties. It was very difficult to regain their strength in a short period of time.
They have a chance to rise again, but it will take time.
But the problem is that the speed and scale of Chang'an's rise are too terrifying.
Because the Chen family came to work early, they have people in important positions in many departments.
But as the Chen family continues to develop like this, even if the family's children are not eliminated, they will gradually fall into middle- and lower-level positions.
They do have Chen Chaoyan in Chang'an Center. As long as nothing happens to Chen Chaoyan, the Chen family will always have someone at the top.
But they are short of people in the middle and senior positions.
I am not afraid at the moment, but in the long run, as Chang'an becomes more and more powerful, it will be difficult for the Chen family to maintain their current high position as minister of the dragon.
Chen Jiezhi is sure to break through to the eighth realm in recent years.
But seeing that there were many ninth-level masters in Chang'an City, he and the rest of the Chen family were also anxious.
At this time, another branch of the Chen family, which used to be the Nanchen royal family, extended an olive branch.
The Chen Mengyang clan took effect late and was too far away from the center of Chang'an.
If we can join forces with the Chen family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, we can undoubtedly make up for their biggest shortcomings.
The Chen family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty can also gain something.
As long as Chen Chaoyan is still here, they don't have to worry about the Chen Mengyang family turning against the guests.
What's more, as long as they are given some time, Chen Jiezhi and others are sure to make their family truly strong.
Which one will be more powerful by then is still uncertain...
So, one man was affectionate and the other concubine was interested, and the two sides quickly became friendly.
Zhang Dongyun is very aware of all this, but he doesn't mind.
Both parties came here to be loyal to Chang'an, so naturally he would not stop them, as long as the two Chen families could faithfully complete the tasks entrusted to them by Chang'an.
As the Chen family slowly connected, Zhang Dongyun's eyes turned from the south to the west.
