The two people who entered the hall were Shen Herong and Ao Kong.
"That's right."
Zhang Dongyun said, "He's in Yangning County."
Shen Herong raised his eyebrows slightly. "Very close. It seems that he's also concerned about us."
"Big brother, where is that bastard in Yangning County?" Ao Kong gritted his teeth.
"Let Twelfth Sister take you there," Zhang Dongyun said.
Ao Kong turned to Shen Herong. Shen Herong nodded. "It'll be easier to find him once we narrow it down."
She asked again, "Big brother, did the news come from the Eastern Tang?"
"That's right. So don't rush after you go there."
Zhang Dongyun said, "If I'm not wrong, the Eastern Tang people have already gone there."
"They want to understand us through Yang Li." Shen Herong smiled.
Ao Kong curled his lips. "It's good to let them fight each other, but I'd rather kill that bastard Yang Li with my own hands."
"Let's go and take a look first," Shen Herong said goodbye to Zhang Dongyun. "Big brother, let's go and take a look first."
Zhang Dongyun nodded. Shen Herong and Ao Kong then left.
Only Zhang Dongyun was left in the Daming Palace. He was deep in thought.
At this time, the Idle Sky Palace and the Divine Pivot Palace received the news one after another.
There were demons in Yuanhe County that seemed to be of the dragon species.
Zhang Dongyun was a little surprised when he heard the news.
Yuanhe was located in the north of Longbei County. It was originally a county under the rule of the Beiqi Dynasty and was under the influence of the Icefire Valley.
When Chang 'an wiped out the Icefire Valley, it also occupied more than half of their original territory and officially stepped into the territory of the Beiqi Dynasty.
However, relatively speaking, the most valuable place was the Xihai County in the north.
Whether it was the refined iron ore of Icefire Valley or the precious products such as Rest Beacon Iron, they were all in West Sea County.
That place was also the focus of contention between Chang 'an and the Northern Qi Dynasty.
As Chang 'an's current sphere of influence, Yuanhe County, compared with Xihai County, was already at the rear.
Why were there demonic cultivators causing trouble here?
Were they from Northern Qi?
For a moment, Zhang Dongyun felt a little strange.
Later on, the Idle Sky Palace sent over more information.
The other party did not seem to be a demonic cultivator who cultivated demonic blood transformations, but a true earth dragon.
A Great Demon.
Just like the Demonic Cultivators, there were very few high-level Great Demons in both the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
After hearing the news, Zhang Dongyun clicked his tongue in wonder.
However, he quickly realized something else.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a free trial of guarding.
Last time, Blood Shadow and the others took down Fa Xin in Hexi County because they had no choice. They couldn't let the old monk convert all the people in Hexi County. They didn't take action until they entered the Invincible City.
Therefore, Zhang Dongyun could only watch Blood Shadow and the others take down Fa Xin outside the Invincible City.
Now, it didn't matter.
Blood Shadow was about to go to Yuanhe County in person, but Zhang Dongyun stopped him.
"Tell the children to exercise."
Then, Yongse, who was in a daze, was taken to Yuanhe County by Huiming.
"Senior Brother, what are we going to do?" The little monk looked confused.
Huiming took him across the sky. "There is a Great Demon causing trouble among the people and harming them. We are going to subdue it."
Hearing this, the little monk shrank his neck. "What if we can't defeat it?"
"If we can't defeat it, we can try to lead it to Longbei County. At that time, the masters of Chang 'an will help us," Huiming answered patiently.
Yongse heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Then, he felt a little embarrassed. "Senior Brother, my cultivation is low. I don't know how much help I can give."
"It's okay. His Majesty and Mr. Dark Cloud asked you to come with me just to let you broaden your horizons." Huiming smiled. "I won't let you take risks easily. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
The little monk hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Senior Brother, is my master okay?"
Huiming sighed softly. "His body is fine, but he is not free. He is now imprisoned."
"Then, when will Master be released?" Yongse asked again.
Huiming hesitated for a moment. He couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
According to the rules of Chang 'an, captives or criminals had to work to atone for their crimes and sincerely repent. They had to bow to Chang' an before they could regain their freedom.
With Fa Xin's stubbornness, he might not have any hope even if he died.
"I'm not sure about this," Huiming said sadly.
Seeing this, Yongse blinked and didn't continue to ask.
Huiming changed the topic and discussed Buddhism with him. In the end, he found that although the little monk didn't understand many of the daily principles, he was sometimes quite intelligent when it came to understanding Buddhism.
No wonder Fa Xin thought so highly of him. However, Yongse hadn't been enlightened yet. There were some barriers that he needed to understand himself.
Once he fully understood, he could soar to the sky at any time.
In the literal sense, he could soar to the sky.
Huiming had seen people who didn't have any Buddhist cultivation at all. Once they had an epiphany, their cultivation realm directly rose to the fifth or even the sixth realm, where they could fly in the sky.
Yongse might be the same in the future.
However, when he thought of his master, Fa Xin, Hui Ming also had a headache.
The two of them chatted along the way. They crossed two to three thousand miles and arrived at Yuanhe County.
When they arrived, the local people of the Idle Sky Hall would provide them with the latest information and guide them.
Therefore, Huiming brought Yongse to a mountain.
It was cold and the ground was frozen hard.
However, at this moment, huge cracks appeared on the ground, spreading for hundreds of meters.
There was a faint wave of heat coming from the ground.
Huiming felt the hidden ferocious aura and his expression became serious.
He put down Yongse and asked him to retreat. "It's at least the seventh realm. Be careful."
"Okay." The little monk nodded obediently and then retreated far away.
Huiming looked at the cracks on the ground and then put his palms together. "Buddha is merciful."
In the sky, there seemed to be lotuses appearing. They spiraled and descended, falling into the cracks.
After a while, the ground below started to shake violently.
In the midst of the smoke and fire, the ground bulged and shattered.
A black and red dragon without horns on its head poked its head out of the ground. Then, its entire body rushed out of the ground.
"It's an Earth Dragon." Huiming knew what was going on. He immediately manifested Golden Mount Meru and descended from above, trying to suppress the Earth Dragon.
The Earth Dragon let out a long roar. The scales all over its body opened and closed together. Endless black smoke and fire surged out together.
The smoke and fire seemed to have solidified and also seemed to have transformed into a mountain peak, pushing against Golden Mount Meru from below.
Huiming chanted Buddha's name and punched down. Golden Mount Meru immediately sank and was about to extinguish all the black smoke and fire.
But at this moment, the Earth Dragon suddenly raised its head. Its eyes were bright as if they had turned into pillars of light.
And right above the sky, there was also a faint radiance. It went all the way down and connected with the Earth Dragon's gaze.
Huiming was born with a long history and was very knowledgeable.
When he saw the Earth Dragon's actions, his expression changed slightly and he dodged to the side.
And his Golden Mount Meru was penetrated by the radiance.
This was clearly the extremely important Heaven Reaching Spiritual Light in the cultivation methods of the demon race.
According to the division of the demon race by human cultivators, this was a great demon that had reached the eighth realm, the Heaven Reaching Realm. Its strength was even above Huiming's.
Although the other party was not a True Dragon, it was a dragon species and its cultivation method was not bad.
Huiming's Zhong Yue Temple inheritance only had a 50% chance against this great demon's method. It was difficult for him to gain the upper hand.
At this moment, the decisive factor was the cultivation and experience of both parties.
The great demon was fierce. Huiming calmed down after being shocked and dealt with it steadily.
Now, it was at least easier than when he fought against the Buddhist monk Faxin.
However, there was no hope of defeating or even capturing the other party alive.
He focused his attacks on the snake's eyes, tongue, and other weak points.
Huiming had always attacked openly and would not use such a sinister method.
But he was not doing this to hurt the enemy. In fact, this Earth Dragon had targeted its weak points and protected itself very well. Huiming could not hurt it.
But this action made the Earth Dragon extremely angry. It wanted nothing more than to swallow Huiming alive.
With his goal achieved, Huiming retreated while fighting. At the same time, he gestured for Yongse to return to Chang 'an.
The little monk was obedient and left obediently.
Huiming was relieved and slowly fought with the Earth Dragon.
He suppressed his desire to win and focused on protecting himself. The Earth Dragon could not take him down in a short time.
It was just that Huiming needed to choose a retreat route and retreat to a place where there was no one. Sometimes, he would be forced into a dangerous situation by the Earth Dragon.
Both parties fought and stopped, gradually leaving Yuanhe County and retreating into Longbei County.
After a long time, the Earth Dragon gradually became vigilant. It was unwilling to give chase and had the intention to retreat.
When it was distracted, Huiming punched from afar. The fist force landed below its eyes and almost blinded it.
The Earth Dragon was furious. It suddenly sped up and pounced at Huiming.
Huiming was also slightly shocked. Then, he saw the Earth Dragon suddenly increase its speed and was already in front of him.
At this moment, a faint golden radiance shot out diagonally from behind Huiming.
The Earth Dragon tilted its head slightly and was not hit.
Huiming took the opportunity to avoid a calamity and hurriedly retreated.
He looked back and saw Yongse heaving a sigh of relief.
The little monk's body was surrounded by golden flames. It was extremely dazzling as if the Buddha's light was burning.
However, these flames were quickly extinguishing and disappearing.
Yongse looked left and right and was shocked by the scene he had created.
Huiming rushed over and grabbed him. They quickly flew forward.
Behind them, the completely enraged Earth Dragon chased after them.
"Senior Brother, did you see that? Just now, I … "Yongse was slightly incoherent.
Huiming was not surprised: "Buddha saves people and is merciful. We Buddhist disciples sometimes enter a selfless state in order to save people. It is possible for us to exceed our current mental state."
However, he did not have time to explain to Yongse and could only run forward.
The furious Earth Dragon let out a low roar and burrowed into the ground.
Huiming looked back and was stunned. Suddenly, the ground in front of them broke open!
The Earth Dragon that had burrowed into the ground was already in front of them. It turned around and bit at the two bald heads.
