Inside the Dubhe Hall, Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Dark Cloud and summoned the head of the Hu family, Hu Yinghua, as well as the traitor of the Green Cloud Temple, Gu Hechuan.
"Take down Yunzhong County in the east."
Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Hu Yinghua and said calmly, "That will be the new home of the Hu family. As for Chaohe County, you will return there sooner or later."
"Yes, Sir," Hu Yinghua replied calmly.
The Hu family moved to Chang 'an as a whole. Naturally, they hoped to find a suitable place to settle down, develop their family business, and revive their family.
Previously, Hu Ming went to Hexi County to establish his family business. However, the land he occupied was later transferred to other people.
He didn't take a single cent and used his position to establish his family business in exchange for Chang 'an's help in rescuing the Hu family.
Now, if the Hu family wanted to establish a foothold, they had to establish and fight for it themselves.
Yunzhong County was located to the east of Chang 'an. It faced the inland of the Eastern Tang dynasty.
If the Eastern Tang dynasty wanted to attack, this county would be the first to bear the brunt.
However, there was no such thing as having the best of both worlds.
Hu Yinghua also believed that if there was an attack, Chang 'an wouldn't sit back and do nothing.
"Take down Longnan County in the south," Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Gu Hechuan and said.
Gu Hechuan nodded. "Yes, Sir."
More than half of Longnan County was already within Invincible City's territory.
However, Zhang Dongyun still asked Gu Hechuan to take his men there bit by bit.
This way, it wouldn't be convenient for the outside world to determine the truth about Invincible City.
The Hu family had two Seventh Realm masters, Hu Yingjie and Hu Yinghua, so the larger Yunzhong County was given to them.
"Hu family, take the Right Guard's team there." Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Gu Hechuan. "You take the Left Guard's team to Longnan."
Hu Yinghua and Gu Hechuan replied in unison, "Yes, Senior."
Zhang Dongyun was in the process of establishing Chang 'an's sixteen guards, which were beginning to take shape.
The first to lay the foundation was the Left Army Guards. The source of the soldiers mainly came from the Longbei Tang Army led by Du Kun and Gao Qi in the past.
Currently, he was fighting alongside Chen Jiezhi, Wan Li, and the others in Hexi Commandery.
Most of the Eastern Tang experts and Tang Army in Hexi had been wiped out.
Among them, the number of surrendered Tang Army soldiers in Hexi had gradually increased over the past few months, and many of them had gradually pledged allegiance to Chang 'an.
After all, as Hexi fell under Chang 'an's control, their families in their hometown had also fallen under Chang' an's rule.
On one hand, the surrendered Tang Army soldiers no longer had any worries. On the other hand, Chang 'an treated the people well. When news of their hometown reached the soldiers' ears, they became even less burdened by the fact that they had pledged allegiance to Chang 'an.
The Right Guard was mainly established by the surrendered Tang Army soldiers in Hexi.
The Left Army Guards were relatively few in number at the moment. They were the old soldiers of Hexi and Longbei, mixed with some of the surrendered Tang Army soldiers who came to Chang 'an with Li Yi, Situ Jinsheng, and the others.
The Tang Army was the group that chased the Dahe Longmen all the way from Heluo to Chang 'an. In the end, they were all annihilated.
Most of their families in their hometown were still in Eastern Tang. Therefore, although they had surrendered and become captives, many of them were still afraid of attacking Eastern Tang for Chang 'an.
Only a small number of them, who were either not stingy or had no attachments, joined the Chang 'an army.
Zhang Dongyun didn't force the surrendered soldiers who had misgivings.
After all, as Invincible City expanded, these people would sooner or later become fish in a pond.
The Hu family immediately gathered their capable clansmen and then joined the Right Guard. They set off together and headed east.
Gu Hechuan was not a commander without an army. In addition to the Left Army Guards, he also brought along another helper.
Previously, he was acquainted with the Secret Pavilion in Eastern Tang. It was the commander of the Secret Pavilion who had fallen in Chang 'an before him, Phantom.
Phantom had been working as a coolie in Chang 'an for about half a year. Now, he had followed the example of his two subordinates of the Secret Pavilion, Gu Hechuan and Purple Sun. He obediently surrendered and worked for Chang' an.
Therefore, Gu Hechuan and Phantom, who used to work for the Secret Pavilion in Eastern Tang together, became partners again. They led the Left Army Guards and left Chang 'an to the south.
Longling was deep in the mountains, which separated Longbei County and Longnan County. That was how the two counties got their name.
For cultivators, it might be possible to fly over, but for ordinary people, it was a natural moat that separated the two counties.
However, since it was now Master Zhang's mountain, the road naturally had to be repaired.
After all, he had a lot of manpower and large machines under his command.
Although the road was still a little rough, it could still allow many people to cross the mountains and pass through.
Therefore, Gu Hechuan and Phantom led the Left Army Guards all the way through the outer city walls, out of the city gate, and set foot on the land of Longnan County.
Zhang Dongyun looked at all of this with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
Then, he projected Mr. Dark Cloud again and arrived at the Divine Punishment Palace.
This time, there was no need to go to the abyss dungeon. Instead, he went to a side hall in the palace.
There was a person standing in the hall.
"Sit."
Mr. Dark Cloud passed by him and sat down first.
Only then did the person who was standing and waiting sit down next to him.
"I have returned to Qingxia Mountain to bring my wife here. I hope that Senior can disregard our past grudges and save her."
That person was the villa master of Qingxia Mountain Villa, Yun Mo. He cupped his fists and bowed to Mr. Dark Cloud. "Senior, I will do my best."
"Since I promised to give you a Reincarnation Pill, I will not go back on my word," Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently. "Don't forget what you said."
"Thank you, Senior!"
Yun Mo bid farewell and left Chang 'an City with permission.
Looking at the city walls that surrounded the entire Qin State Prefecture, Yun Mo felt as if he was about to suffocate.
He tried his best to calm down and left Chang 'an, heading southeast.
As an Eighth Realm martial arts expert, he was alone and deliberately hid his whereabouts. He did not alert anyone in the Eastern Tang and quietly returned to his home, Qingxia Mountain.
Yun Mo, who was overjoyed to be able to reunite with his wife and fellow disciples and was also worried about his wife's injury, suddenly felt dizzy before he even got close to Qingxia Mountain.
He saw many people gathered at the foot of the mountain.
He was familiar with all kinds of people.
After careful observation, he realized that they were actually some of the surrounding sects.
In the past, these places had to worship Qingxia Mountain Villa as their common master.
But now, they actually dared to surround Qingxia Mountain Villa?
Yun Mo was furious.
However, he was worried about his injured wife and disciples on the mountain, so he was not in the mood to waste time with the small fries at the foot of the mountain.
Yun Mo flew directly into the mountain.
Then, he saw martial artists from various sects surrounding Qingxia Mountain Villa.
If one had to name them, these sects were not weak. The leaders were all at the sixth level.
If there were no major forces like the three academies, four paths, five sects, and six families, a sect led by a Sixth Realm cultivator could already lead a county.
After all, the generals guarding the Eastern Tang were only Sixth Realm cultivators. They needed to mobilize troops to suppress such sects.
However, even if several sects joined forces, it was still impossible for them to challenge the massive Qingxia Mountain Villa.
Unless, like now, there was an internal problem in Qingxia Mountain Villa.
The Eighth Realm Villa Master, Yun Mo, went out and did not return for several months.
The Seventh Realm Villa Master's wife was also seriously injured and bedridden.
Most of the other Sixth Realm elders in the villa followed Yun Mo out to capture the Mountain Moving Demonic Ape and Huan Tianlong.
There were not many experts left in the villa.
Qingxia Mountain Villa's inheritance was exquisite, and its disciples could fight against many of these sects.
However, the other party had too many experts and prepared a large number of crossbows for an attack.
It was indeed like an old saying.
Trash like them, I can beat up ten of them!
However, there were twenty of them …
Qingxia Mountain Villa, which was in a weakened state, found it difficult to fight against so many.
"Madam Yun, you don't have to bluff. There are rumors that Villa Master Yun died in Chang 'an. You can't wait for him to come back. Why don't you surrender early and avoid hurting our friendship?" someone shouted toward the villa.
However, only a ray of green light answered him.
The sect master drew his saber to block, but the green light drilled a hole in his saber!
He hurriedly dodged to avoid the same fate as his saber.
"This woman's strength is even weaker than before. Surround them and kill them!" The man shouted loudly.
The surrounding people shouted in unison.
Seeing this, Yun Mo's expression turned cold. She was about to attack when her expression changed slightly.
Suddenly, colorful lights flashed between heaven and earth.
Thus, everyone present fell into a daze.
The shouting stopped abruptly. Everyone opened their mouths in a daze, but no sound came out.
Their eyes were also dazed as they looked forward, losing focus.
Yun Mo's expression was still serious and did not ease up. She looked at the sky.
There was an auspicious cloud there, and a Daoist priest sat on the cloud with an immortal aura.
"Lianzhen Technique …"
Slowly, Yun Mo said, "Daoist Zhi Chen's Dharma spells are profound. You're even better than your reputation."
The Daoist priest was the head of Fuzhen Guan Monastery, Daoist Zhichen.
He smiled and said, "I have also heard of Villa Master Yun's great name."
Yun Mo sensed that the souls of all the people attacking the villa below were suppressed by the Lianzhen Technique. However, none of the people in Qing Xia Villa were attacked by the Dharma spells.
This made him sigh in relief.
Yun Mo seemed to have thought of something and looked at Daoist Zhichen. "I heard that you also participated in the battle of Chang 'an?"
"I became a citizen of Chang 'an earlier than Villa Master Yun."
Daoist Zhichen smiled faintly and said, "It's just that in order to avoid the Eastern Tang royalty from taking revenge on the monastery, I've always kept it a secret and lived in seclusion in Chang 'an.
This time, I was asked by Daoist Dark Cloud to help Villa Master Yun protect Qing Xia Mountain, so I've been secretly staying in the mountain for nearly two months.
However, I hope Villa Master Yun can forgive me. In order to prevent the news from reaching the Eastern Tang royalty, I still don't want to appear. However, these people attacked the mountain too quickly today, so I had no choice but to act.
It's a pity that I didn't notice Villa Master Yun's return earlier. Otherwise, I still wouldn't have revealed myself. "
Yun Mo was slightly stunned. Then, he bowed to Daoist Zhichen. "Thank you for your hard work, Daoist Zhichen."
"Villa Master, you're too polite." Daoist Zhichen smiled. "Please keep I's secret, Villa Master, so that I can retreat with success."
"Of course." After saying that, Yun Chen held his spear in his hand.
Then, the sky was filled with green light. It fell like a storm.
The enemies standing outside the villa were like wheat fields that had been hit by a storm. They fell in droves.
