Shen Herong stepped into the main hall.
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand casually.
Shen Herong, who looked like a little adult, did not treat him as an outsider.
He walked to a high chair and jumped onto it with his back facing the chair.
"Do you think he's a friend or a foe?" Zhang Dongyun asked instead of answering.
Shen Herong knew that his big brother was not asking about whether the demonic ape was a friend or foe.
At that time, the demonic ape was violent and out of control. Its mind was filled with bloodlust and destruction. It was just a pure killing machine.
That was a problem that all demonic cultivators had to face.
Under the influence of demonic blood, it was easy for people to lose their rationality.
This was the case for the more orthodox divine beast bloodlines such as the Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Baize, and Xiezhi, not to mention the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape, Blood Phoenix, Purple Sun Flood Dragon, Great Dark Bat, and other vicious beast bloodlines.
Blood Shadow was also violent and bloodthirsty. It was just that with Zhang Dongyun restraining him, his behavior was not obvious.
The "Blood Phoenix Scripture" taught to him was to make it easier for him to cultivate the Blood Phoenix Transformation. It could reduce the possibility of him losing himself, but it did not change his bloodlust.
Purple Sun's cultivation of the Purple Sun Flood Dragon's transformation went without saying. It was crazy and warlike. Most of the time, it was just forcibly suppressing it.
Hu Ming's cultivation of the Great Dark Bat's transformation was the same.
Although he was friendly and nostalgic to the Hu family, it was not necessarily the same for others.
It was not without reason that the Demonic Path cultivators, in the Righteous and Evil Paths, were defeated by a single pole. The entire ship was considered to be Evil Paths.
There were definitely some who were wronged, but most of them were not good people.
And this was under the condition that they could control themselves.
When they were lost in the boiling demonic blood and lost control, they could be even more violent and cruel than ordinary great demons.
Ao Kong's transformation into the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape was a classic example.
It did not distinguish between friend and foe. It was a killing machine that destroyed all living things in front of it.
If the same Mountain Moving Demonic Ape was thrown in front of him, he would kill it first.
Zhang Dongyun and Shen Herong were very clear about this.
Naturally, there was no point in discussing it.
When Zhang Dongyun asked Shen Herong what he thought, he was asking whether the "Ape and Dragon King" Ao Kong, who was ranked eleventh among the Twelve Kings of Hell, was an enemy or a friend?
Was he a traitor?
"I'm not sure …"
Shen Herong could not give an answer for the time being.
However, Ao Kong's reaction at that time was not optimistic.
To a certain extent, the Great Banyan Mountain was a secret signal.
Back then, the twelve sworn siblings had been there together.
At that time, it was Ao Kong himself who suggested that if they were separated in the future, they could reunite there.
When they were at Yaoshan Mountain in Yechuan Prefecture, Shen Herong saw that Ao Kong was out of control, so he mentioned this to see how Ao Kong would react.
In the end, it made Ao Kong furious.
This could mean that he was also betrayed back then, and that was why he was filled with resentment.
However, the other possibility was that he was the traitor himself. Now that he suddenly reunited with the sworn siblings he betrayed, he became hostile.
Coupled with the fact that he did not have such a big reaction when he heard Yang Li's name, it was even more difficult to judge.
"It's possible that he really did not know that Yang Li betrayed us, but it's also possible …"
Shen Herong shook his head slightly.
"By the looks of it, he did not reincarnate, but looking at him now, it's obvious that he's heavily injured. It's also difficult to say who injured him and caused him to lose his way now."
Shen Herong sighed. "I really want to believe Eleventh Brother, but what if … he was injured by someone like us?"
Zhang Dongyun, who had transformed into Evil Emperor, was expressionless. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Next time, bring him back, and we'll know the truth."
Shen Herong said, "Previously, he ran amok in Ye Chuan County, but we gave him a hard time. Based on the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape's nature, he might leave Ye Chuan County."
"I'll order Dark Cloud and the others to continue collecting information about the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape's rampage," Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
Shen Herong thought about it. "Big Brother, do you also think that he won't transform into the Illusion Sky Dragon now?"
"Ape and Dragon King" Ao Kong had the bloodlines of two Great Demons. If he included the Ape and Dragon Transformation that he created himself, he could actually manifest three Demonic Dao transformations at the same time.
However, when he appeared in Ye Chuan County previously, the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape seemed to have turned the tables on him.
Shen Herong found it strange at that time. Now, he guessed that it might have something to do with Ao Kong's injuries.
"We can't rule out the possibility that he'll change again," Zhang Dongyun said. "But it's better to keep his identity a secret."
Ao Kong was far away in Ye Chuan County. Zhang Dongyun observed that it was indeed not as convenient as Ao Kong being in Invincible City.
However, since he was in Invincible City, his eyesight would not be bad.
Through his Azure Heavenly Eye, he was sure that Ao Kong's injuries were very special.
There seemed to be a special shackle in the depths of Ao Kong's soul.
This shackle not only made it difficult for Ao Kong to unleash his abilities, but it also affected his bloodline.
The reason why Ao Kong lost control and was affected by the Demonic Ape's blood was very likely because of this shackle. It interfered with the balance between his ape and dragon bloodlines. As a result, he could not manifest the Illusion Sky Dragon and could only manifest the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape.
Therefore, like Shen Herong, he suspected that Ao Kong could only transform into the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape now.
Of course, if Ao Kong encountered other changes, there was still a possibility that he could transform into the Illusion Sky Dragon.
However, if he directly instructed Blood Shadow, Chen Jiezhi, and the others to gather information about the two Great Demons at the same time, people might link it to the Ape and Dragon King.
If it was just the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape, it would be fine.
"Then we can only wait patiently for news now."
Shen Herong sighed. "It's a pity that the Daoist priest of the Green Cloud Temple caused trouble, otherwise he might have brought Eleventh Brother back."
She raised her head and looked at Zhang Dongyun. "This person came for Chaoyan's Pure Yang Immortal Soul. It looks like he is determined to get it, and it doesn't look like he is snatching a disciple."
Zhang Dongyun raised three fingers. "Three possibilities."
He put one finger away. "First, the Green Cloud Temple is related to the Pure Yang Shrine of the past."
Then he put another finger away. "Second, the Green Cloud Temple may be related to the Supreme Purity Palace."
According to the Evil Emperor's memories, the Supreme Purity Palace was a Daoist holy land that was known as the Pure Yang Palace in the past.
Both sides belonged to Daoism and had conflicts. They loved and hated each other for many years.
Until the Pure Yang Palace was broken by the Twelve Kings of Hell, the grievances between the two Daoist holy lands came to an end because of a third party.
But if Chen Chaoyan was really the reincarnation of a master of the Pure Yang Palace, it was not impossible for the Supreme Purity Palace to keep an eye on her.
"Third …" Shen Herong continued Zhang Dongyun's words. "Ninth Brother …"
Zhang Dongyun nodded.
In the past, the "Pure Yang Banished Immortal" Ying Xiaowo, who was ranked ninth among the Twelve Kings of Hell, was the orthodox disciple of the Pure Yang Shrine, who betrayed the sect.
After the incident of the Immortals 30 years ago, Ying Xiaowo also lost contact and had not appeared in the world for 30 years.
Whether he was a traitor or not, it was difficult to conclude now.
Shen Herong looked at Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun seemed to know what she wanted to ask and shook his head directly. "Chen Chaoyan is not Old Ninth."
Shen Herong nodded silently.
"Dark Cloud will soon pry open that Daoist priest's mouth." Zhang Dongyun said.
"Big Brother, you have troubled me." Shen Herong took a deep breath. "Then I will go back to the academy first. If there is any news, Big Brother will inform me."
"Go." Zhang Dongyun nodded.
Watching Shen Herong leave, Zhang Dongyun leaned back in his chair.
A moment later, a compass appeared in his hand.
This was the tool Taoist Michito, or Green Cloud Temple, used to find Chen Chaoyan.
It was a very unique magic tool that seemed to be specially used to find people or things related to the former Pure Yang Palace.
Green Cloud Temple had already used this gadget to find a lot of gains.
However, most of them were small objects scattered outside after the destruction of the Pure Yang Palace in the past.
This time, finding Chen Chaoyan was a big surprise for Taoist Michito.
In the hands of Mr. Dark Cloud, or Zhang Dongyun, the old Daoist priest had no room to resist.
If Zhang Dongyun wanted to keep it a secret and slowly extract information, he could take his time to deal with him.
If it was more urgent and he wanted to know the truth immediately, no one could resist under the power of Invincible City.
However, Taoist Michito did not know all the information.
All he knew was that a traveling Daoist priest had visited Green Cloud Temple in the past.
It was under the other party's guidance that Green Cloud Temple had made great progress in recent years, faintly surpassing the other three famous Eastern Tang Daoist sects.
However, for this help, Green Cloud Temple also had to reciprocate.
The content was to help the other party continue to search and collect people or things related to the Pure Yang Palace in the past.
The compass also came from that traveling Daoist priest.
Every few years, the other party would come again.
In addition to continuing to guide Green Cloud Temple, he would take away the things collected by Green Cloud Temple.
Most of the time, only the Green Cloud Temple's abbot had contact with the other party, so Taoist Michito did not know the other party's specific origin, but he was not a person of Eastern Tang.
However, Green Cloud Temple had instructed several of the temple's upper echelons to find the Pure Yang relics. The relics were secondary, the main point was to find the reincarnation of the former Pure Yang master.
If they could find it, the other party would reward them greatly. Compared to what Green Cloud Temple currently had, it was not worth mentioning.
For this reason, Taoist Michito put in so much effort and risked offending Chang 'an City to try to take away Chen Chaoyan.
Zhang Dongyun squeezed out what he wanted from Taoist Michito, but this information was obviously too general.
It seemed that more information had to be obtained from the Green Cloud Temple's abbot … Zhang Dongyun thought silently.
While Master Zhang was thinking about the abbot, in the Green Cloud Temple on Qingyun Peak in Nanxiang County of Eastern Tang thousands of miles away, several old Daoists were also thinking about Taoist Michito.
"Cangye Shibo sent a letter, asking for the reincarnation of the Pure Yang from Chang 'an City. This is really dangerous."
A middle-aged Daoist priest frowned, "I just received news that when the Eastern Tang attacked Chang 'an, Purple Sun in the team had already cultivated the Devil Soul and reached the eighth realm of the Devil Path."
"He's dead. Senior Brother Cang Ye went to Chang 'an alone. The situation is not good." An old Daoist priest next to him also frowned, "Quickly inform him to come back."
"I've already sent the letter, but I don't know if it's in time."
"Uncle Master Cang Ye brought Thundercloud Ruyi with him. At least he can escape and protect himself …"
Everyone was anxious, but the news that came later made their anxiety a reality.
"Cangye Shibo was detained by Chang 'an City." The middle-aged Daoist priest suggested, "We can only ask the abbot to come out as soon as possible."
The others agreed and went to see the abbot of Green Cloud Temple.
