On the riverbank, other than the original Eastern Tang army, another group of Tang Army soldiers had arrived.
Together with them were a Confucian and a Taoist.
The former was the Vice Principal of White Horse College, Yue Chunsheng.
The latter was the Elder of Green Cloud Temple, Taoist Huang Ye.
The two seventh realm experts were currently standing together with the Tang Army soldiers, gazing at the dragon boat in the distance.
"I didn't expect Li Jie to have also broken through to the ninth realm."
Taoist Huang Ye said softly.
White Horse College's Vice Principal Yue Chunsheng shook his head. "In the end, it's still King of Tang who's more skilled."
"Dahe Longmen is just the beginning. What's more important is Longbei Commandery in the west." Taoist Huang Ye asked, "Will Principal Hong go to Longbei Commandery?"
Yue Chunsheng said, "After Hong Shi returned to Eastern Tang, he studied at the back of the mountain of the academy. I didn't manage to meet him before I came out, but I believe that the others in the academy have already informed him of what happened here."
He looked at Taoist Huang Ye and asked, "What about your Monastery Head?"
Taoist Huang Ye said, "Brother Monastery Head said that after Dahe Longmen is destroyed, he will go to Chang 'an to take a look."
Yue Chunsheng nodded. "That's for the best."
"I heard that Mr. Zhao Ning has been killed. I feel deeply sorry for him." Taoist Huang Ye sighed.
Yue Chunsheng's expression was calm. "Jiuping's desire for benevolence was met with benevolence. We will carry on his legacy and destroy Chang 'an."
Daoist Yellow Leaf nodded. His next words were almost inaudible, "The royal family of the Eastern Tang also harbors unfathomable motives towards our two clans. Mr. Yue and Headmaster Hong must be investigated."
"I understand." Yue Chunsheng nodded.
The two of them stopped talking and looked at the dragon boat on the distant river.
At the bow of the dragon boat, the River Dragon King Li Jie faced the King of Tang fearlessly.
"In life, there are things to do and things not to do. I can only accept His Majesty's kindness."
When King of Tang heard this, he didn't get angry. He just raised his hand and waved it in the direction of Old Prince Li Dong.
The long spear in Li Dong's hand suddenly flew out and landed in King of Tang's hand.
"Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish."
With that, he waved the long halberd in his hand.
A piercing aura instantly enveloped everyone in the Dahe Longmen.
Compared with Li Yi and Li Dong, the power of the Four-sided Halberd in King of Tang's hand was like heaven and earth.
Among the four elders of the Dahe Longmen, except for the Eighth Realm "Turbid Wave Flood Dragon" Zhang Chong, the other three elders of the Seventh Realm were all frightened and uneasy in the face of King of Tang's power.
Sect Leader Li Jie silently activated the Dragon Gate Mystic Method. Invisible airflows swirled around him like a roaring river, directly dispelling the pressure brought by King of Tang. Only then did his fellow disciples behind him feel much more relaxed.
"Let's go!" Li Jie shouted and took the initiative to meet King of Tang.
Zhang Chong and the other three fled the dragon boat in all directions.
They also had a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If they were seen through by the Tang Army, they would break out of the encirclement, rescue the disciples on the land, and break through again to fight their way out of the encirclement of the Tang Army.
However, they didn't know that King of Tang would come to the river in person.
Right now, the five of them couldn't even protect themselves, so they could only take a risk.
Sect Leader Li Jie took the initiative to meet King of Tang. Although it was dangerous, Zhang Chong and the other three could only endure the pain and use the opportunity that Li Jie had created for them to escape.
Without them, it might be easier for Li Jie to escape alone.
On the shore, Taoist Huangye and Yue Chunsheng looked on coldly and didn't intend to help.
Green Cloud Temple and Dahe Longmen didn't get along. Although there was a chance to hit them when they were down, Taoist Huangye was also afraid of Eastern Tang royalty.
White Horse College's Yue Chunsheng didn't have any conflict with Dahe Longmen.
He came here just to watch the Eastern Tang fight. His target was the next important point, Chang 'an.
The battle on the river was fierce.
A Level-7 Dahe Longmen elder died on the spot. His blood dyed the wide river red.
Zhang Chong and the other three people were all injured. They barely managed to break out of the encirclement, but they were still pursued by experts like Yan Xishi and Situ Jinsheng.
Li Jie was lucky to have broken through to Level-9. Although he couldn't defeat King of Tang, he still had a chance to escape.
In order to reduce the burden on Zhang Chong and the others, he deliberately escaped in the opposite direction to lure away his biggest enemy, King of Tang and Li Xuanxin.
"Don't let these traitors go."
As expected, King of Tang kept a close eye on Li Jie. He only instructed his son before he left.
Old Prince Li Dong followed closely behind to pursue River Dragon King.
Prince Muhira and Li Yi hurriedly shouted, "Yes, Father!"
He had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Dahe Longmen. This made him anxious and uneasy.
When he heard King of Tang's order, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
King of Tang gave him another chance.
Li Yi immediately returned to the shore and commanded the army to pursue the Dragon Gate successor.
King of Tang found out about the Dahe Longmen's plan to escape by land. Most of the disciples, including the women and their families, were intercepted and killed by the Tang Army.
Zhang Chong and the others, who had finally rushed back, quickly met up with the main force and began to break out of the encirclement.
Li Yi, Situ Jinsheng, Zheng Tianfeng, Yan Xishi, and Daoist Zhichen led the army to pursue and intercept them.
On the way, Gao Yu, the master of the Hidden Pavilion, met up with Li Yi and the others.
"Lord Gao, you've kept me in the dark for so long."
When he saw Gao Yu, Li Yi's tone was meaningful.
Gao Yu sighed. "His Majesty summoned me urgently, and I've been traveling with His Majesty. Under His Majesty's watch, I naturally couldn't leak any information to Your Highness."
Li Yi snorted and didn't say anything more.
While the army was in chaos, he found an opportunity to avoid Gao Yu and contact Murong Ting in private.
"Murong, it seems that my good intentions have all gone down the drain!"
Murong Ting looked around and finally said, "It's not that I didn't want to remind Your Highness, but I didn't know about this matter."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows. "What did you say?"
"I know that Li Jie, the leader of the Dragon Gate, has improved his cultivation and the Dragon Gate's real escape plan. It's not much earlier than Your Highness."
Murong Ting said softly, "This information came from the master's own sources."
Li Yi's eyes were full of suspicion. "You're saying that there are people in the Hidden Pavilion, and Gao Yu knows about it but you don't?"
Murong Ting laughed self-deprecatingly. "Maybe the master wants to do something himself."
Li Yi narrowed his eyes. "It seems that I've underestimated the Lord Gao. I wonder what he wants to do?"
Some people in the outside world only suspected and guessed, but Li Yi knew very well that the Lord Gao of the Hidden Pavilion was actually surnamed Li, not Gao.
Li was the Li family of the Eastern Tang royalty Li family.
Murong Ting shook his head gently. "I don't know, but …"
He hesitated for a moment.
Li Yi immediately looked over and said, "Since you've already opened your mouth, don't hesitate."
Murong Ting let out a long sigh. "However, Your Highness does need to be careful. It's not that the master didn't have a chance to tell you about what happened today, but … he chose not to tell you."
Li Yi heard this and sneered, but did not say anything.
His eyes flashed with a fierce light. After a while, he looked at Murong Ting again. "It seems that the Lord Gao doesn't trust you, Murong. Murong, why don't you carefully consider my previous suggestion?"
Murong Ting fell silent again.
Li Yi did not rush him.
He believed that Gao Yu suddenly opened another source of information and hid it from Murong Ting. This made Murong Ting feel a sense of crisis.
In this way, Murong Ting would naturally make a choice.
When Li Yi saw Gao Yu again, there was no change in his expression. He was still smiling.
However, Prince Muhira had already begun to think in his heart. In this chaotic situation, it was the best opportunity to kill that ungrateful bastard.
Murong Ting still kept a low profile and did not attract attention. He quietly followed behind Gao Yu as a guard.
However, when he looked at Li Yi and Gao Yu talking and laughing, deep in his eyes, he could not help but flash slightly …
The people of Dahe Longmen fled west.
At this moment, they had no better place to go.
There was only one place left.
Chang 'an City!
In the process of their escape, in Chang 'an City, Shang Jie and Wen Hu received an urgent message from their masters.
The two of them were shocked and hurried to Tianshu Hall to see Mr. Dark Cloud.
"If you enter Chang 'an, you must abide by the rules of Chang' an." Mr. Dark Cloud looked at the two of them. "Anyone, understand?"
Shang Jie hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Old Master. Everyone in our sect will abide by the rules of Chang 'an. We will not dare to violate them.
However, there are many masters in the Eastern Tang now. Our disciples have been besieged and chased all the way. We have suffered heavy casualties. We hope that Chang 'an can send masters to rescue and bring our disciples into the city. "
"Sure." Mr. Dark Cloud nodded.
Blood Shadow was cultivating in seclusion, so Zhang Dongyun did not touch him. He only asked Chen Jiezhi, Xu Xingzhi, and the director of the Tingshan Academy, Wan Li, who had recovered from his injuries, to lead the team and follow Shang Jie to meet the people of Dahe Longmen.
The Tingshan Academy was grateful to Chang 'an for taking them in. Secondly, they had a common enemy when the disciples of Dahe Longmen were being chased by the Eastern Tang. They immediately asked to follow the director.
Watching the group of people leave Chang 'an, Zhang Dongyun, who was in Daming Palace, smacked his lips.
Being able to bring as many people of the Dahe Longmen back to Chang 'an as possible would be of great help to him in completing his construction task.
However, if these cultivators left the city and some of them died outside, it would not be good.
It was really a dilemma … Zhang Dongyun sighed.
But then again, there had been no news from the Hu family after they returned.
Could it be that Hu Yinghua stood me up?
Zhang Dongyun frowned.
He had been thinking about the Hu family's many martial arts practitioners.
However, this matter did not bother him for long.
A few days later, Hu Ming came to see Mr. Dark Cloud with a long face.
"You're saying that Hu Yinghua went back to secretly deal with his business and was preparing to bring people to Chang 'an, but there was a traitor in the Hu family who told the Eastern Tang?"
Mr. Dark Cloud stared at Hu Ming.
Hu Ming's face was full of bitterness. "Li Hong, the heir of the Eastern Tang Empire, and the Grand Commandant of the Eastern Tang Empire led troops to besiege the ancestral land of the Hu family. The traitor in the family cooperated with them. In the end, the Hu family was defeated by the Tang Army. Many people died. My eldest uncle was captured. I heard that he was going to be taken back to Luyang City."
Mr. Dark Cloud's expression did not change. "It seems that many people in the Hu family are hostile to Chang 'an."
Hu Ming hurriedly said, "That's not the case. Please believe me. My eldest uncle and many people are loyal to Chang 'an. It's just a small group of people who betrayed us."
Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently, "Let's wait and see."
Hu Ming said helplessly, "Yes, senior."
In the projection, Mr. Dark Cloud was calm. In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun patted his forehead in annoyance.
If the Hu family did not come, his construction task might be lacking.
