After Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Dark Cloud and led Zhang Chong, Han Zhe, and the others down the mountain, he issued an order to the System.
Now, it was time to expand.
With Zhang Dongyun's order, a golden light that only he could see surged in Chang 'an for the fourth time. Then, it extended outwards.
As the golden light expanded, the wider world was completely under his control. It was as if it was a part of his body.
The previous expansion had been to the north. It had officially gone beyond the Dragon's Ridge Mountain and entered the plains.
This time, to the south, the range of Invincible City had also gone beyond the Dragon's Ridge Mountain and entered the southern hills and plains.
The entire central part of the Dragon's Ridge Mountain, which was 256 kilometers wide from east to west, was completely included in Invincible City.
And this fourth expansion, to the north, continued on a large scale beyond the mountain area.
Qin State Prefecture was officially included in Invincible City …
[The System's coverage area has been expanded. Do you want to immediately expand the actual city to be the same size as the System's current coverage area?]
No.
Zhang Dongyun ordered the System as he projected Mr. Dark Cloud down the mountain.
[After the fourth expansion, the city's scale can temporarily not be the same as the System's current coverage area.
However, the city's scale will change to the System's coverage area after the third expansion.
And at the latest, by the fifth expansion, the city's scale will at least change to the System's coverage area after the fourth expansion, and so on.]
Zhang Dongyun grunted.
"Just like last time, build the original city walls at the original location of the second expansion.
Visually, maintain the current city walls at the original location and do not change. In the future, it will be the first layer of the outer city.
The city walls at the boundary of the third expansion will be the second layer of the outer city. "
[As you wish.]
In the Dragon's Ridge Mountain, the original inner city and outer city remained unchanged.
When Mr. Dark Cloud, Zhang Chong, and the others came out of the mountain, they saw a golden light shining on the plains outside the mountain area. A city rose from the ground.
This time, the city walls were more than 50 kilometers long.
A part of them was still in the mountains, causing the Dragon's Ridge to shake again. Many places collapsed.
The northern city wall stretched across the plains.
The farmers and herdsmen nearby were all dumbfounded when they saw this miraculous scene.
Their first reaction after regaining their senses was to kneel down and worship the miraculous scene in front of them.
The Dahe Longmen were also shocked.
Some of them had heard from Wen Hu that Chang 'an City was born out of thin air. It rose from the ground and was built in an instant, as if it was the work of a God.
However, after witnessing it with their own eyes, many people were still dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.
"Your Majesty's remarkable powers are boundless."
It was not until Mr Dark Cloud stopped and bowed toward the mountain that the people of Dahe Longmen snapped out of their daze.
Although they had just arrived at Chang 'an today, many people were still in awe. They imitated Mr. Dark Cloud and bowed to the mountain.
In the distant Qin Prefecture, Li Yi and the others were also alarmed.
The earth trembled slightly as if there was an earthquake.
The tremors originated from the Dragon's Ridge.
"Have the people of Chang 'an made a move yet?" Li Yi frowned. "Quickly investigate the situation."
His subordinate immediately left to carry out the order.
Jingyue Pavilion Master Yan Xishi turned to look at Green Cloud Temple's Taoist Huang Ye and White Horse College's Yue Chunsheng.
"Is there still no news from Enlightened Master Qing Ye and Principal Hong?" Yan Xishi asked solemnly.
Yue Chunsheng replied awkwardly, "I can't contact Hong shi at the moment, but he should be here soon."
"Senior Sect Leader should be here soon as well," Taoist Huang Ye turned to Li Yi and asked, "Is His Majesty still pursuing Li Jie?"
Li Yi's face darkened. He didn't answer the question. Instead, he ordered the generals under his command, "Tell everyone to be alert and prepare for battle."
The generals nodded and hurriedly left to organize the troops.
Li Yi and the others stood where they were. No one said a word. They fell into an awkward silence for the time being.
After a period of time, the scouts who were sent to investigate the situation hurriedly reported back.
"Your Highness, the war falcons at the front have relayed a message. Ninety li south of the Qinzhou City, a city wall suddenly appeared!"
Li Yi and the others were astonished. "Why didn't they report this earlier? What are the scouts doing?! "
"Your Highness, they said that after asking the hunters, herdsmen, and farmers in the vicinity, the city wall suddenly appeared out of nowhere. In just a few breaths, it rose from the ground, reaching a height of three zhang," the subordinate reported with a stuttering voice. Even the subordinate himself was perplexed by the matter.
Li Yi and the others found it hard to believe. "How is that possible? Could it be that they are making up an excuse to cover up their negligence? "
The head of the Zheng family, Zheng Tianfeng, pondered and said, "Could it be that the scouts didn't discover the city wall in advance because it was covered by Taoist magic? But the city wall was built long ago. It was only now that the enemy dispersed the magic that the city wall was visible to everyone?"
As he spoke, he looked at Daoist Zhichen, the head of the Fuzhen Guan Monastery.
Among the four major Taoist sects in the Eastern Tang, Fuzhen Guan Monastery was famous for its cloud and fog magic.
"It's not impossible." Daoist Zhichen Slowly nodded.
Situ Jinsheng, the head of the House of Stuart, said cautiously, "Be careful when you anticipate the enemy. Don't be careless."
He looked around at the crowd and said, "Have you forgotten that this so-called Chang 'an City suddenly appeared in Longling Mountain? It had never happened before."
The expressions of the people around him became serious.
Situ Jinsheng looked at Li Yi and said, "Your Highness, the situation has changed. We'd better be careful and not start a fight. We'll talk about it when His Majesty and President Hong arrive."
Li Yi took a deep breath and said, "Let's quickly report the changes here to Father …"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted.
A subordinate rushed in and reported, "Enemy attack!"
"Who?" Li Yi asked.
"There are people from the Dahe Longmen and others …"
As he spoke, the expressions of the Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm experts changed slightly.
Li Yi and the others turned to look. Outside the Qinzhou Prefecture City, there were already noises of people and horses, and even screams and cries of pain.
Sure enough, there was an enemy attack.
They rushed out of the city and saw that the Tang Army's encampment outside was in complete chaos.
An old man in black led the way. His biting cold aura intimidated thousands of Tang Army soldiers and made them throw away their armor and suffer a crushing defeat.
Zhang Chong, Han Zhe, Shang Jie, and the others followed by his side. Their killing intent soared into the sky, mixed with ferocious baleful aura, and they forcefully opened up a smooth path among the thousands of soldiers and horses.
"Are they from Chang 'an City?"
Li Yi asked in a deep voice.
He didn't even look at Zhang Chong and the other Dahe Longmen disciples. He only stared at the old man in black at the front.
"Those who surrender will be spared from death."
Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently. He didn't answer Li Yi's question, but Li Yi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Li Yi gathered his killing intent and fought against Mr. Dark Cloud.
Situ Jinsheng, Yan Xishi, and the others did the same.
But they found that their killing intent couldn't fight against Mr. Dark Cloud at all.
Under the intimidation of the old man in black, more and more Tang Army soldiers began to put down their weapons and surrender or flee.
The generals of the Tang Army who led the troops were completely unable to rally the morale of their troops and control the collapse of their soldiers.
Around Mr. Dark Cloud's body, thick black clouds and mist spread out and surrounded the Qin State Prefecture from all directions.
These black clouds didn't hurt the people in the city. Instead, they protected them.
At the same time, they blocked the way of Li Yi and the others.
"Your Highness, let's go!" Situ Jinsheng shouted in a low voice. The black spear in his hand turned into a black dragon and rushed to the black clouds blocking the way.
Li Yi cursed inwardly and had no choice but to break out of the encirclement with Si Tu Jin Sheng. Yan Xishi and the rest did the same.
"Take them down."
Mr. Dark Cloud said in a casual tone.
Zhang Chong and the others around him answered in unison and immediately rushed to Li Yi and the others.
They all saw how the black clouds protected the people. They felt more and more that Chang 'an was different from the Eastern Tang. It seemed to be acceptable to obey orders in such a place.
However, that was a problem to think about in the future. Now, they had to take revenge.
Previously, the Dahe Longmen were chased by the Eastern Tang army all the way. Many of their friends and relatives died.
Now that the tables had turned, it was time for them to take revenge.
Zhang Chong rushed to the leader, Li Yi, with the big knife in his hand. The knife light was like a waterfall and the momentum was like a surging river.
Li Yi was furious. He wanted to fight back, but Situ Jinsheng took Zhang Chong's attack first and told Li Yi to run.
Situ Jinsheng's spear was like a dragon, and Zhang Chong's knife was like a stormy sea.
They could be considered enemies meeting, and their eyes were exceptionally red.
Zhang Chong's most serious injury during his escape was when Situ Jinsheng's spear pierced through his body when he was surrounded.
Now that he had Mr. Dark Cloud's help, his injury was healed and he was full of energy again. He wanted to fight Situ Jinsheng.
The two eighth level martial arts experts immediately engaged in a fierce battle, sending sand and pebbles flying everywhere. Every punch and kick they made could split mountains and split rocks.
The other Seventh Realm Elder of the Dahe Longmen, Han Zhe, was also fearless. The sword light in his hand turned into a waterfall as wide as a river and slashed at Li Yi and the others.
The Mirror Moon Tower's Master, Yan Xishi, raised a beam of moonlight in his hand and blocked Han Zhe's sword light.
However, at this moment, a wave of sleepiness suddenly overwhelmed him, causing his consciousness to blur and he almost fell asleep.
Yan Xishi was shocked. He opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar.
The drowsiness that had been entangling him dissipated at once. Turning back to look, he saw a cloud that was flashing with seven-colored radiance in midair. Within the cloud, the figure of Daoist Zhi Chen was faintly discernible.
"Rainbow Illusion Cloud Dharma! Illusion Technique! "
Yan Xishi's gaze turned cold. "Zhichen, you traitor!"
Almost at the same time, Situ Jinsheng, Zheng Tianfeng, and Li Yi all shouted.
Gui Xiong roared. His murderous aura surged and shook heaven and earth.
The four Eighth Realm martial artists attacked together. Their roars were like thunder, and they shook Daoist Zhichen's Dharma so much that it almost dissipated.
Daoist Huangye, Yue Chunsheng, and the others who had been stunned by the Illusion Technique took the opportunity to regain their senses.
However, Daoist Zhichen's Illusion Technique was not without results.
Yan Xishi could still block Han Zhe's sword light in time with his cultivation level one realm higher.
Facing Zhang Chong, who was also at the Eighth Realm, Situ Jinsheng was at a disadvantage after being slightly distracted.
The Master of House of Stuart's left arm was directly chopped off by Elder Zhang Chong of the Dahe Longmen!
Li Yi was furious. He flew to find trouble with Daoist Zhichen.
Zheng Tianfeng pushed his palms forward, intending to break through the black cloud blocking his way and leave this place.
However, when he pushed his palms forward, his vision suddenly blurred. It was no longer the black cloud, but an old man in black.
Mr. Dark Cloud, who was Zhang Dongyun's projection, calmly looked at the old man's palms coming at him.
With one hand behind his back, he reached out with the other to meet Zheng Tianfeng's palms.
However, Zheng Tianfeng felt as if there was a suction force from the old man's palms. It forcefully pulled his palms toward the old man's palms.
Seeing this, Zheng Tianfeng could only use his Mountain Quake Force to push the power of the Mountain Pushing Palm to its limit.
When he pushed out his palms, the air in front of his palms did not escape in all directions. Instead, it seemed to be bound and compressed, becoming harder than iron and stone.
The Zheng family's martial arts were known for their strength, and Zheng Tianfeng, who was at the Eighth Realm, was able to unleash it to its limit.
If his palms landed on the Qin Prefecture's city wall, it would be enough to collapse and shatter it.
However, at this moment, his palms were facing Mr. Dark Cloud's palms.
The result was that Zheng Tianfeng's palms silently began to distort and expand.
In the next moment, his palms exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Bits and pieces of white bones separated from his flesh and blood.
Zheng Tianfeng watched helplessly as the flesh on his palms split open and spread to his wrists and arms.
In addition to the bones in his hands, the bones in his wrists and arms broke inch by inch, all the way to his shoulders.
Both of his arms were twisted into more than a dozen crutches.
The powerful recoil shook Zheng Tianfeng's internal organs so much that they seemed to have shifted positions.
He spat out blood wildly, and his body flew backward.
However, he didn't fly far before he stopped in midair.
His head was grabbed by a palm from the top of his head.
The old man in black still had one hand behind his back, and the other hand grabbed the head of the Zheng family's patriarch as if it were a magic device. He quietly floated in the air toward the others.
