Including the leader Qingpeng Zhenren, everyone in the Qinglian sect was shocked at this moment.
They really couldn't figure out whether Cao Ranran and Lin Ying in front of them had hidden their strength before showing it now, or whether they really had some special means to improve their own realm.
But at the moment, everyone in the Qinglian Sect could not be surprised, because Lin Ying's sword had already struck his head.
Above the Qinglian Sect's mountain gate, Qinglian was in full bloom, blocking Lin Ying's sword with all its strength.
Master Qingpeng's expression also became solemn.
After just one round of fighting, he was already sure that Lin Ying in front of him must have hidden his own cultivation.
The talisman on his forehead should have the effect of sealing and concealing it.
No matter whether you take drugs or use other methods, if you temporarily improve your cultivation level, it is impossible for the opponent to be so smooth and immediately able to control the powerful power of the Martial Emperor who aspires to the highest level.
Lin Ying in front of him at this moment seemed to be a veteran master who had been immersed in the realm of aspiration for many years.
The method of temporary improvement may give the opponent corresponding power levels and magical changes, but it cannot give the opponent rich experience and adaptability skills that suit oneself.
From this point of view, the old Confucian man next to him should be in the same situation.
Qingpeng Zhenren relied on the advantageous position of the mountain gate to deal with Lin Ying's offensive with ease.
But his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
"Chang'an is righteous and your Majesty is magnanimous. Those who surrender will not be killed." Cao Ranran said from a distance.
As soon as he said these words, not to mention how the Qinglian sect reacted, Lin Ying, who was the main attacker on Chang'an's side, suddenly seemed to have reached a higher level of cultivation.
Even though Qingpeng Zhenren relied on the large formation, he began to find it difficult to parry.
It is exactly the subtle words and great meaning of the Confucian master who established the state of speech.
Cao Ranran blessed Lin Ying with magical powers, and Lin Ying's sword energy suddenly became more powerful and changeable.
Master Qingpeng saw this scene with a solemn expression.
If the two people in front of him rely on drugs or other means to temporarily improve, then he can easily win as long as he slowly delays it until the other party's drug has taken effect or time has passed.
But now these two people in front of me, no matter how you look at it, they are all real masters of the Eleventh Realm.
Continuing the stalemate with them will undoubtedly be detrimental to the Qinglian Sect.
If the opponent has more powerful people coming to support them, the Qinglian Sect may not even have anywhere to run.
It’s better to seize the opportunity to break out of the encirclement now... Master Qingpeng sighed inwardly.
As the leader of the Qinglian Sect, Master Qingpeng was naturally reluctant to give up the Shanmen Paradise that his family had run for many years.
But if he ends up in a situation where the entire sect is wiped out, he will be even more sorry to the ancestors of all generations.
Thinking of this, Master Qingpeng no longer held back, and while notifying his disciples to prepare for a breakout, he took back all his outer bodies to his original form.
Then, he raised both hands upward.
Suddenly, twelve o'clock green light flew into the sky.
These blue lights flew into the air, spread quickly, and turned into twelve lotus terraces.
These are the Twelve Green Lotuses, the magical weapon passed down by the Qinglian Sect through the generations, and they are also Qingpeng Zhenren’s trump card.
The twelve green lotuses flew up together, immediately blocking Lin Ying's sword energy.
If we rely on the mountain defense formation to face the enemy together, Qingpeng Zhenren is sure to defeat Lin Ying.
Even if the other party has the blessing of Cao Ranran's gentle words and righteousness, it will be the same.
But now that Qingpeng Zhenren is determined to break out of the encirclement, it is naturally impossible for the mountain guarding formation to evacuate with him.
He kneaded the magic formula with one hand and pointed towards the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain with the other hand.
Suddenly, the huge green lotus covering the mountain gate turned into an ocean-like wave of blue light in an unprecedented manner, spreading in all directions and almost submerging the land for hundreds of miles.
Lin Ying slashed out with his sword, which was like dividing the sea, and immediately cut through the blue ocean.
But his sword energy was quickly blocked by Master Qingpeng wielding the Twelve Green Lotus Treasures.
Cao Ranran then expanded his family, country, and world, and pretended to be all the other Chang'an people present, thereby avoiding the remaining tide of the blue light ocean.
Master Qingpeng took this opportunity to escape with a group of Qinglian disciples.
Unfortunately, Lin Ying refused to give him this opportunity.
With the blessing of Cao Ranran's gentle words and great righteousness, he made a chain of swords.
The vast sword energy actually seemed to turn into clouds and mist covering all directions, surrounding everyone in the Qinglian Sect.
Qingpeng Zhenren used twelve green lotuses to firmly isolate the clouds and mist, and tried to move forward.
But after a slight delay, Cao Ranran waited for the other Chang'an masters to avoid the sea of blue light, and then they all caught up.
Lin Ying and Cao Ranran teamed up to surround Qingpeng Zhenren and did not give the other party a chance to escape.
Instead, Tangshe Yuixing, Zhuo Zui, Li Jie and others quickly captured the rest of the Qinglian faction.
Except for the leader Qingpeng Zhenren, the Qinglian Sect has no other Taoist practitioners above the ninth level.
At this time, faced with the siege of Tan Snake Meteorite, Zhuo Zui and Li Jie, how can they withstand it?
Soon the entire army was wiped out.
After they dealt with the other members of the Qinglian sect, they began to assist Lin Ying and Cao Ranran.
In the past, Master Qingpeng could not take the attacks from the tenth realm cultivators to his attention, and he could even deal with them by just creating a few external incarnations.
But now, he must face the flanking attack of Cao Ranran and Lin Ying, both eleventh level masters, wholeheartedly.
At this time, when they met Zhuo Sui again, Li Jie and the others suddenly acted coldly beside them, and Qingpeng Zhenren felt paralyzed.
Seeing that most of his disciples were captured by Chang'an, and although many were injured, few died, Master Qingpeng sighed secretly: "I am willing to surrender, but please don't make it difficult for my disciples."
"I didn't surrender before, but now I surrender because of Qu Cheng, I may not get such good treatment."
Zhuo Zui said: "Taoist Master Dai Zui needs to be taken to Chang'an. How to deal with it is up to your Majesty and Mr. Wu Yun to decide."
Hearing this, Master Qingpeng became a little angry and said, "If Pindao strikes with all his might, at least half of you here will be buried with Pindao!"
Tangshe Yuxing said coldly: "Then you go and die. I have received great favor from Chang'an and will sacrifice my life to accompany you."
Master Qingpeng looked at him and saw that the snake's two vertical pupils were filled with a cold look, without wavering at all.
He glanced at Lin Ying, Cao Ranran and others.
Although the eyes of the other people were not as cold as those of the Snake Meteor Star, they were all safe and sound.
Seeing this, Master Qingpeng looked at his captured disciples and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "That's it, that's it."
He waved his hand, and the twelve green lotuses came together, but they did not take them back into his hand, but floated in front of Cao Ranran.
Cao Ranran nodded and took over all Qinglian with his own family and country.
Lin Ying came to Master Qingpeng and pointed his sword at him.
Master Qingpeng was not injured.
However, the transformation of the soul suddenly stagnated and was blocked by the invisible sword energy.
"I will send him back to Chang'an, where Lao Cao is here." Lin Yingyan said.
"Headmaster Lin, there is no need to be polite."
Cao Ranran spread his hands, took out twelve lotus flowers that had transformed into ordinary green lotuses, and handed them to Master Huifang standing by.
Master Huifang nodded: "Pindao will return to Chang'an with Master Lin."
When he returns this time, he will also be responsible for the construction of more ships.
Lin Ying, Huifang Zhenren and Chen Yu bid farewell to everyone and escorted the Qinglian sect back to Chang'an City.
In the Daming Palace in Chang'an City, Zhang Dongyun smiled slightly.
After taking down the Qinglian Sect and at least landing within a thousand miles of the port, no one will dare to defy Chang'an.
Chang'an can use this area as its initial foothold for business operations.
As for Qingpeng Zhenren and others, let's work in Chang'an for a period of time as coolies.
Through the talismans left on Cao Ranran and others in the Middle Earth, City Lord Zhang could see that everything was going according to plan.
Shortly after landing in Chang'an, people from the Zhengyi sect also arrived.
With their help, the people on the Great Wall came to China for the first time and gained a foothold faster.
For people of the upright sect, it is not surprising that there are masters such as Li Jie and Cao Ranran in Chang'an.
To be precise, if there were only these people, it would be difficult for the Zhengyi faction to imagine how Chang'an could achieve so many incredible achievements.
But on the other hand, they seem to have an answer.
People from the Zhengyi sect were really surprised when they saw so many disciples from various sects in Eastern Xinjiang who were in the middle and lower realms of cultivation, and even when they saw many mortal craftsmen coming to the Middle-earth together.
Chang'an, how did you bring these people here?
Does it all depend on the effort of top experts?
It's incredible...
The Zhengyi faction was surprised, and the other forces in China were even more surprised.
When the news came out, most of the people in Middle-earth immediately turned their attention to the east.
At this moment, Eastern Xinjiang is unprecedentedly unfamiliar to them.
Taiqing Palace, Jiufeng Academy, and Yansheng Mansion were the first to be affected.
Sure enough, after the news of the invasion of Chang'an City came out, the Taiqing Palace was forced to withdraw its troops.
Peng Ziling, the real person in charge of teaching, returned to his own mountain gate in Taiqing Palace.
The crisis faced by the Zhengyi faction was successfully alleviated.
In order to prevent the Taiqing Palace from suddenly turning back, the Zhengyi faction did not take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
In addition to working hard to regain lost ground and stabilize themselves internally, they also further strengthened ties with Chang'an.
The mystery and power of Chang'an also made everyone in the Zhengyi faction feel uneasy.
In contrast, Yansheng Mansion and Jiufeng Academy, both known as the two most sacred places of Confucianism in China, also had a truce.
Both sides were already in conflict with Chang'an. When they heard that Chang'an had landed, they immediately stopped fighting.
Both are forces in Middle-earth. Faced with a mysterious enemy that suddenly came from outside Middle-earth, both sides almost subconsciously decided to cease fighting with each other first.
As for whether to join forces to deal with Chang'an City first, it doesn't matter right now.
Everyone needs to explore each other and get more information.
Yansheng Mansion is cautious, but the real attitude of the top management of Jiufeng Academy, which knows some of Chang'an's foundation, is actually a little ambiguous.
"Back then we were equivalent to killing her once with our own hands."
Shen Hao sighed: "Now, is there any room for change?"
"Back then, we were deceived by others and made mistakes. In fact, we had a common enemy." Shen Tianxian said, "We should try to welcome her back to the Shen family."
When Shen Hao and several people around him heard this, they all groaned.
After a while, someone broke the silence: "Will she agree?"
Shen Tianxian said: "Sincerity leads to spirituality."
Another person said: "Father, she, or they, must take that thing back."
