"Bring all the outsiders who are following them back to the city as well."
Old Demon Blood Shadow replied, "This old servant will follow Your Majesty's orders."
Behind him, Purple Sun and the others also answered loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
No more sounds came from the palace.
Mr. Dark Cloud walked up to Blood Shadow. "They've entered Longbei County and are returning to Qin State Prefecture. Eighth Realm martial artists are following them."
Old Demon Blood Shadow grunted. "If Your Majesty has any orders, just leave them to this old man."
He bowed to the palace again and left Daming Palace first.
Purple Sun and the others also bowed to the palace.
It was the first time the four of them came to Daming Palace, so they could not help but feel excited.
Although the order to follow Blood Shadow made them feel a little uneasy, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. They all followed behind Blood Shadow obediently.
Purple Sun looked at the blood-red figure in front of him, his eyes flashing.
After being captured by Chang 'an, he was tortured by Mr. Dark Cloud.
However, after falling into Blood Shadow's hands, he suffered a lot. He still shuddered when he thought about it.
Now, he even let the other party climb over his head.
Purple Sun was angry and resentful.
Just as he exited Daming Palace, Old Demon Blood Shadow suddenly turned around and gave him a cold glance.
Purple Sun quickly lowered his eyes and lowered his head at the same time.
Blood Shadow looked at him for a moment, then looked away and turned around again.
Purple Sun Old Demon let out a long breath and continued to follow behind the other party.
After being freed from the shackles, he regained his freedom. However, the negative effects of the demonic power eroding his mind also reared its head, and he often felt a violent and bloodthirsty impulse.
However, the last bit of reason in his heart warned him that he must endure it now.
He had to do everything honestly and follow the orders of Chang 'an City, including taking orders from Blood Shadow.
This was not only for the sake of his own safety. At the same time, it was also for the sake of obtaining a higher-level demonic inheritance like Old Demon Blood Shadow.
After that, he would have the chance to settle the score with Blood Shadow sooner or later …
Like Purple Sun, Gu Hechuan was captured by Chang 'an before. Then, he abandoned the Eastern Tang and surrendered to Chang' an.
Now, being able to leave Chang 'an for real and breathe the air of freedom again made the Taoist slightly excited.
A thought suddenly arose in his mind.
Should he take this opportunity to escape?
However, the moment this thought appeared, it was immediately dispelled by Gu Hechuan.
The Green Cloud Temple was still around and he was alone. It was inevitable that he would have to face the Green Leaf Taoist Master's purge.
There was not much difference between hiding in the Eastern Tang Secret Pavilion or hiding in Chang 'an.
In Chang 'an, he might even obtain more advanced Taoist magic and obtain the Thundercloud Ruyi that he had been dreaming of.
Obviously, working for Chang 'an was the most beneficial.
Moreover, there were many masters in Chang 'an. If he escaped, he could be caught at any time.
At that time, he might not even have the chance to do manual labor. He would be directly executed and serve as an example to the other captives.
Gu Hechuan's mind was only slightly shaken, but he immediately calmed down and followed Blood Shadow and Purple Sun out of Chang 'an.
In the land of Longbei County, Shen Herong and the others were gradually approaching the territory of Qinzhou.
Behind them, the people of Qingxia Villa were still chasing.
However, Yun Mo and the others seemed to be a little hesitant.
Although they were still a few hundred miles away from Longling Mountain and the legendary Chang 'an, Longbei County was already under the rule of Chang' an by the Eastern Tang.
The pursuit made the people of Qingxia Villa feel uneasy.
Mu Hongyuan, who was following behind them, was also anxious. He secretly cursed the people of Qingxia Villa for being so useless that he could not find a chance to take advantage of them.
While Mu Hongyuan was anxious, his heart suddenly stirred.
He looked into the distance and found a familiar sword intent approaching this area.
Mu Hongyuan's eyes flashed and he took the initiative to approach. The other party's sword intent was indeed the Sword Dao of Misty Sky Peak that he was very familiar with.
The other party was also startled when he saw Mu Hongyuan approaching. He was curious that the other party was an elder of a higher realm.
However, when he saw Mu Hongyuan's appearance, the young man's expression changed drastically. "Mu Hongyuan … Mu Hongyuan?!"
Mu Hongyuan approached and smiled. "Judging from your sword intent, you're Senior Wang's successor?"
The young man hesitated.
The order to arrest the traitor Mu Hongyuan was given to every disciple of Misty Sky Peak.
However, he was alone and could not be Mu Hongyuan's match.
Running away in the face of a traitor would also damage the prestige of the sect.
Besides, even if he wanted to run away, he might not be able to escape from Mu Hongyuan's sword.
"Senior Wang is also in Eastern Tang?" Mu Hongyuan smiled. There was no hostility. Instead, he said something that surprised the other party even more. "If Senior Wang is here, take me to see him. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years."
The young man was surprised. "You … What exactly are you …"
"Don't be shy." Mu Hongyuan said, "Isn't this what you want?"
The young man calmed down. "Come with me if you have the guts."
After that, he turned around and walked away.
Mu Hongyuan followed him.
As he expected, there were higher-level elders of Misty Sky Peak here who had noticed the movements of the people of Chang 'an and Qingxia Villa. Therefore, they sent this young disciple to investigate the situation.
However, the elder of Misty Sky Peak here was not the young man's master, but Chen Xingwen.
Seeing Chen Xingwen, Mu Hongyuan frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
Chen Xingwen's cultivation was higher than his. If Chen Xingwen focused on him, it would be difficult for him to escape.
But on the other hand, it was precisely Chen Xingwen's cultivation that made it easier for him to stop Shen Herong and the others. It would be easier for him to fish in troubled waters.
"Brother Chen, long time no see." Mu Hongyuan smiled first.
"It has indeed been a long time." Chen Xingwen remained calm and listened to the young disciple report the cause of the chaos in the distance.
Then, he looked at Mu Hongyuan. "Junior Brother Mu, are you repentant and want to go back to the sect with me?"
Mu Hongyuan smiled. "Even if I'm willing to go back with you now, you don't have time, do you?"
Chen Xingwen asked, "Then what do you want?"
"Senior Brother, you're here on behalf of Northern Qi to gather information about Chang 'an, aren't you?"
Mu Hongyuan said, "Why don't we cooperate?"
Chen Xingwen motioned for the other disciples of Misty Sky Peak to keep quiet. "How?"
"Senior Brother, you've learned about the situation over there," Mu Hongyuan said. "The people in front of us are from Chang 'an. If we take them down and interrogate them, we'll know the inside story of Chang' an."
Chen Xingwen stared at him. "You also want to gather information about Chang 'an?"
Mu Hongyuan nodded. "Exactly."
Slowly, Chen Xingwen said, "We're both taking what we need. You're not atoning for your crime."
"I understand." Mu Hongyuan smiled. "After this matter, I have nothing to say if Senior Brother wants to hunt me down and capture me. I'm just escaping with my own ability."
He looked in the direction of Qin State's government. "But this doesn't affect our cooperation now, right? Senior Brother, please make a decision now. It might be too late. "
"Let us interrogate them first," Chen Xingwen requested.
"No problem," Mu Hongyuan agreed.
Chen Xingwen nodded. "Okay, it's decided."
They immediately sped up and chased after Shen Herong and the others.
Seeing that they had entered Qin State's territory, the martial artist of Qingxia Villa hesitated and asked Villa Master Yun Mo, "Senior Brother, should we still chase?"
"…"
Yun Mo was also hesitant, but in the end, he gritted his teeth. "Chase!"
With that, he increased his speed to the limit and turned into a streak of green light, chasing after Yun Mo. He wanted to overtake him in an instant.
Ink blots spread out in the air to block his path. Yun Mo did not stop this time. He used the tip of his spear to force his way through the blots of ink.
He let out a muffled groan. His face was pale, and his body was covered in ink.
The ink seemed to have a life of its own. It spread continuously on his body like chains, binding his body and suppressing his strength.
Yun Mo gritted his teeth and endured. He stood with his spear horizontally, blocking Shen Herong and the others' path.
Monk Hui Ming put his palms together. "Please don't force us, Benefactor."
Golden light gathered on his body, and Mount Meru appeared faintly again.
"Leave that Demoness behind. I'll make way immediately," Yun Mo said coldly.
The other people of Qingxia Villa also followed.
The martial artists of Realm Five and above stood in the air, aiming their spears at the cloud that was carrying Shen Herong and the others.
Those who had yet to reach the fifth realm all rode on huge mutated beasts called Sunglow Eagles to guard the outer perimeter.
Chen Xingwen and Mu Hongyuan, who were following from afar, immediately stopped when they saw this.
"Let's get ready," Mu Hongyuan said.
"Okay." As Chen Xingwen spoke, he stabbed his sword at Mu Hongyuan.
Mu Hongyuan had been secretly on guard. He hurriedly dodged. "Brother Chen, you're too impatient. Why don't you wait until we take down the people from Chang 'an before we settle this?"
"I'm not taking you back to the sect to clean you up," Chen Xingwen said coldly. "I'm taking you to Chang 'an as a greeting gift."
Mu Hongyuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly prepared to escape.
However, Chen Xingwen's sword light was like an illusion. It spread out and chased after him.
Shen Herong, Yun Mo, and the others also noticed the battle on Misty Sky Peak in the distance.
However, Yun Mo and the others couldn't care less. They only wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.
However, just as they were about to attack, blood-red and dark-purple lights suddenly flashed in the sky to the west, instantly dyeing half the sky.
A dragon's roar and a phoenix's cry sounded at the same time. However, they both sounded fierce and evil.
Yun Mo and the others' expressions changed slightly.
In the next moment, a blood-red phoenix and a purple dragon appeared at the same time.
Then, Hu Yinghua and Han Zhe, two martial arts experts, arrived. They were accompanied by waves of Green Thunder.
Gu Hechuan, who cultivated Dao, hid in the Thunder Cloud and advanced with the Blood Phoenix and the Purple Sun Dragon.
"How dare you make things difficult for the people of Chang 'an?"
The Blood Phoenix spoke in human language and said coldly, "Take them down!"
The Purple Sun Dragon roared and rushed toward Yun Mo, the Lord of Qing Xia Villa.
Han Zhe and Hu Yinghua attacked at the same time, targeting the people of Qing Xia Villa.
"Let's go!" Yun Mo had no choice but to order the villa disciples to retreat.
Because of his stubbornness, Yun Mo now stood with his spear and covered the retreat of the Qing Xia Villa disciples.
He fought with his spear, and streaks of green light flashed between heaven and earth.
The Purple Sun turned into a "purple sun" and emitted waves of domineering "sunlight" that spread out in all directions.
The green and purple light collided, causing the sky to change color.
Yun Mo was about to attack, but the ink on his body appeared again and restrained his limbs.
His murderous aura surged and scattered the ink.
But this delay had already caused him to lose the initiative and be suppressed by the Purple Sun.
Yun Mo couldn't gain the upper hand against the Purple Sun alone, let alone stop the others.
He could still fight against the Purple Sun, who was at the same cultivation level as him at the Eighth Realm, but the other people of Qing Xia Villa couldn't stop Han Zhe and Hu Yinghua, two Seventh Realm experts.
The Blood Phoenix looked past the people of Qing Xia Villa and looked at Chen Xingwen and Mu Hongyuan, who were fighting in the distance.
"Who dares to cause trouble in Longbei?" Blood Shadow asked coldly.
"Chen Xingwen of Northern Qi's Misty Sky Peak is here to visit Chang 'an and to reconcile the two families."
Chen Xingwen raised his voice as he attacked Mu Hongyuan. "This thief Mu Hongyuan is a member of the Eastern Tang Secret Pavilion. He has offended Chang 'an. I am here to capture this thief and hand him over to Chang' an."
"I am under orders to bring back all the outsiders who are following them."
Blood Shadow glanced at Shen Herong and the others, then looked at Chen Xingwen and said coldly, "Take them all.
"Take them all down first. Bring them back and interrogate them slowly."
