The guards, soldiers, Qingbokgung, and disciples of the Cheng family who came with King of Tang, Li Xuanxin, and the others were all stunned.
The scene before them was beyond their understanding.
King of Tang, Li Xuanxin, and a level-nine martial artist were crushed to death by the eleven celestial rivers that fell from the sky.
The river water hit the ground and changed the landscape.
A huge lake was created at the foot of Six Springs Mountain. The lake was so vast that it seemed to be even bigger than Six Springs Mountain.
Many of the Eastern Tang people who were standing far away couldn't dodge in time. Under the turbulent water, they were almost swallowed by the lake and sank to the bottom of the lake with King of Tang.
Li Xuanxin, who was probably the most powerful martial artist since the founding of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, was buried in the lake.
Lin Ying, the leader of Misty Sky Peak who was also a level-nine martial artist, was nailed to the ground by ten rainbows that fell from the sky.
The illusory rainbow light was even sharper and more solid than the edge of his sword.
Although Lin Ying was still alive, he was covered in blood and dying. He couldn't even move his little finger.
The level-eight Taoist Taoist, Taoist Priest Heavenly Flame, wasn't as lucky as him.
Of the three fiery meteors that fell from the sky, one destroyed his spell, one destroyed his dharma idol, and one destroyed his physical body.
From the outside to the inside, from big to small, his body and soul were destroyed. Nothing was left.
The level-eight Confucian scholar, Cheng Qing, head of the Eastern Tang Cheng family, was in the same situation.
Four bolts of purplish-gold heavenly lightning struck down and instantly turned him into ashes.
Whether it was his literary talent or his body and soul, everything was turned into nothing and disappeared from this world.
The level-eight Northern Qi martial artist Gao Tianxuan's body was left in this world.
But the six ice blades completely destroyed his life force and sealed his body in ice.
It wasn't just the outer layer of ice that covered his body.
All the water in his body had been frozen into ice.
This even caused his body to distort and deform.
Through the layer of ice, his appearance didn't look real.
Other than Lin Ying, there was another person who managed to survive, and that was Nanliang's Xiao Kun.
His body and abdomen were pierced by the five divine spears formed by the storm. Just like Lin Ying, he was nailed to the ground.
However, even though his life was spared, Xiao Kun was similarly unable to move.
He felt countless wind blades cutting into his body from the five wounds, causing him to be unable to muster any strength.
On Liuquan Mountain, Shen Herong was also amazed.
She was not shocked by Zhang Dongyun's strength, but by his technique.
"Big Brother, those words of yours do have some hints of Confucian cultivation in them."
"There is no end to learning." Zhang Dongyun's tone was indifferent.
Shen Herong laughed and said, "Little sister likes these four words."
She stood up and clapped her hands. "Since Big Brother is making a move, then Little Sister will be lazy."
After that, he left Six Springs Mountain and returned to Chang 'an.
At the foot of the mountain, Mr. Dark Cloud bowed to Chang 'an and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have disturbed you."
"Clean it up." After Zhang Dongyun said that, his voice was no longer heard.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mr. Dark Cloud said respectfully.
Then, he turned to look at Lin Ying and said, "You're not bad. You're willing to take risks for your fellow disciples and won His Majesty's appreciation. Your life is spared."
Lin Ying wanted to say something, but she found that she couldn't even open her mouth now.
Mr. Dark Cloud didn't want to continue listening to her.
He turned to look at Xiao Kun and said, "You're the only one who knows what's good for you."
The muscles at the corner of Xiao Kun's mouth twitched, but just like Lin Ying, it was difficult for him to even open his mouth.
The other people from the Eastern Tang who came with them wanted to escape at this time. .
However, Mr. Dark Cloud waved his sleeve, and billowing black clouds spread out and swept everyone away, including Lin Ying and Xiao Kun.
Gao Tianxuan, who had turned into an ice sculpture, stayed where she was and became a part of the scenery by the lake.
Mr. Dark Cloud then stepped on a black cloud and returned to Chang 'an with a group of captives.
When he returned to Chang 'an and met Blood Shadow, who had stayed behind to guard the place, he nodded and said, "Thank you for looking after the place."
Blood Shadow didn't get angry because the other party had done a meritorious deed and he hadn't gotten anything.
On the contrary, the Old Devil seemed to be in a good mood.
Blood Shadow wasn't displeased with Mr. Dark Cloud's return to the city to take over Dubhe Hall again.
In the Old Devil's view, His Majesty valued the person in charge more than a hired thug.
In the past, this position had belonged to Mr. Dark Cloud.
And Blood Shadow was usually in charge of sweeping out and defending against enemies.
But this time, the positions of the two sides had been swapped.
Although Mr. Dark Cloud quickly took over the command center again, the mere act of swapping positions showed that His Majesty's thoughts had changed.
As long as Blood Shadow continued to perform well, and this kind of adjustment became more frequent, there would be a day when the situation would be reversed.
Because of this, Blood Shadow was full of fighting spirit.
At this moment, he firmly believed that he was right to not care about temporary gains and losses.
Time would tell everyone who was His Majesty's most trusted aide!
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun looked at Blood Shadow and smiled slightly.
Do your best!
He collected his thoughts and turned to look to the side.
Ao Kong was sitting listlessly in a chair.
Opposite him, Shen Herong smiled and said, "Eleventh Brother, don't worry. We'll find Yang Li sooner or later."
"That bastard is a coward." Ao Kong looked up at the sky and sighed. "I should have ignored what those people thought and caught him on the spot!"
"There's something that can cheer us up," Zhang Dongyun said indifferently.
Shen Herong turned to look at him. "Big Brother, have you interrogated that Taoist priest?"
Zhang Dongyun nodded. "As we expected, the disciple of Tai Qing Palace who ordered the Green Cloud Temple to search for the Pure Yang relics should be Ying Xiao's reincarnation. His Taoist name Gu Mu Ken can be real, but it could also be an alias."
Hearing this, Ao Kong's attention was instantly drawn to this side. "He's also in Eastern Tang?"
Compared to the recently learned traitor Yang Li, Ao Kong undoubtedly had a deeper impression of Ying Xiao Wo.
Even when he lost his mind because of the demon blood, he still remembered Ying Xiao Wo.
"He's not in Eastern Tang now."
Zhang Dongyun said, "However, the Green Cloud Temple sent him a message earlier, but we don't know if he didn't receive it or if he refused to come to Eastern Tang."
"Maybe he's in some special grotto-heaven, so the message hasn't reached him yet." Shen Herong guessed, "It's also possible that he's already here, but he hasn't shown himself. Instead, he's secretly observing."
Zhang Dongyun shook his head inwardly.
It was hard to say where Yang Li was hiding in the beginning.
However, the Six Springs Mountain where King of Tang and the others were captured and killed, as well as the vast area around it, were all covered by Invincible City.
If Ying Xiao wanted to observe in secret, he wouldn't be too far away.
If he came, he would most likely be covered by Invincible City. Zhang Dongyun would have captured him on the spot.
He didn't find any treasures similar to the Azure Sky Eye on the Green Cloud Temple people or the others.
From the looks of it, Ying Xiao most likely didn't come to Eastern Tang.
Or perhaps, he was staring at Yang Li and ignored King of Tang and the others as they approached Chang 'an.
"Boss, can we send him another message and trick him to come here?" Ao Kong's expression was ferocious.
"He only left a talisman for Green Cloud Temple for communication." Zhang Dongyun shook his head.
The talisman was burned by Green Leaf Perfected Cultivator. Not even ashes were left.
Otherwise, Master Zhang would have a way to recreate it.
Ao Kong patted the armrest of his chair, his face full of annoyance. "What a pity!"
"It's okay," Zhang Dongyun said, "It's better if we can catch them quickly, but they won't be able to escape in the end."
Ao Kong let out a long breath, then nodded gently.
Off to the side, Shen Herong seemed to be deep in thought. "Big Brother, Eleventh Brother, Ying Xiao, since I'm in the Eastern Tang and asked the Blue Cloud Monastery to help him search for the Pure Yang relics, then wouldn't he also have puppets in the other dynasties of the Eastern Frontier to help him search for people and items?"
The cultivators of the Eastern Frontier mainly focused on martial arts, Confucianism, and Taoism. Other than the four famous Taoist schools of the Eastern Tang dynasty, the other dynasties also had famous Taoist schools.
"It's not impossible."
Zhang Dongyun said, "All the Daoist sects that have suddenly risen in recent years, have revived, or are leading the group are all suspicious. I have already ordered people to investigate."
Shen Herong and Ao Kong both nodded.
"By the way, Big Brother, have you built another city in the sky between Daming Palace and Chang 'an?" Shen Herong asked with a smile.
Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "This is just the beginning. We'll go higher and higher."
Shen Herong and Ao Kong both smiled. "I'm willing to go with you, Big Brother."
Zhang Dongyun leaned back in his chair.
Influenced by the views of his previous life, he treated the common people well.
But there were some things that he was slowly getting used to.
For example, in this world, the difference between people could be bigger than the difference between a man and a cow.
Everything was slowly changing, and everyone needed to get used to it.
Just like Chang 'an City now.
When the fourth outer city was built, it would further shock everyone who knew about it.
Because this was a city that was 1,536 kilometers from north to south and 1,024 kilometers from east to west.
The four walls were like the Great Wall.
As for the true range of the system's current coverage …
[City Lord: Zhang Dongyun
Current range: 4,096 kilometers from east to west, 6,144 kilometers from north to south, 2,048 kilometers above, 2,048 kilometers below the ground
City Wall range: 1,024 kilometers from east to west, 1,536 kilometers from north to south]
The size of all the spaces had increased by four times.
The current land area had increased by 16 times, reaching a total of 25.165,824 square kilometers.
Previously, it covered more than half of Longbei County and Longnan County.
Now, not only did it cover all of Longbei County, but it also exceeded the territory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and stepped into the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
To the north of Eastern Tang Longbei County, to the north of Hexi County, and to the north of Yunzhong County were the Northern Qi Dynasty's Yuanhe County, Yuanxi County, and Yunbei County.
These three counties were all covered by Invincible City.
Furthermore, parts of Xihai County to the north of Yuanhe County, Tianmo County to the north of Yuanxi County, and Xianglian County to the north of Yunbei County were also included in the Invincible City system.
To the south, it "swallowed" all of Longnan County.
In addition, it "swallowed" Zhaoyuan County to the west of Longnan and south of Hexi. It covered Yuanning County to the southwest of Longnan and south of Zhaoyuan, which was also the northwest border of Eastern Tang.
It "swallowed" Guangwu County to the south of Longnan County.
It "swallowed" Qingyue County to the south of Yunzhong County.
Previously, Shen Herong, Chen Jiezhi, and the others went all the way south. After passing through Longnan County and Guangwu County, they arrived at Yechuan County.
Now, the northern part of Yechuan County was also covered by Invincible City.
