It was the same for the north and south, but it was still about eight thousand li away from the east.
Hexi County, west of Longbei, didn't need to be mentioned.
Zhaoyuan County, south of Hexi County, and Yuanning County, south of Hexi County, were also included in Invincible City.
But apart from that, there was still Tielun Mountain, which was the border between Western Zhou and Eastern Tang.
Within Western Zhou Dynasty, there were a few counties that were originally connected to Eastern Tang and southwest of Northern Qi. Now, some of them were taken in by Invincible City.
From north to south, there were Moyin County, Moyang County, Tiexi County, Gaotang County, and Sushun County.
These five counties were located west of Northern Qi's Tianmo County, west of Northern Qi's Yuanxi County, west of Eastern Tang's Hexi County, west of Eastern Tang's Zhaoyuan County, and west of Eastern Tang's Yuanning County.
Almost half of the five prefectures of Western Zhou were now part of Invincible City.
And Invincible City expanded eastward. Other than Yunzhong, Yunbei, and Qingyue Counties, it also included Sushan County, which was south of Qingyue County and east of Guangwu County.
Other than that, Xuanyang County, which was south of Yuanning and west of Yechuan, Yuanping County, which was south of Sushan and east of Yechuan, Sushan County, which was east of Guangwu, Huiguang County, which was south of Sushan, Yinning County, which was east of Yunzhong, Yundong County, which was east of Yunbei County, and Chuan County, which was north of Tiangu County, which was east of Xianglian County, and northeast of Yunbei County.
Of course, it also included Yangning County, which was east of Sushan and southeast of Qingyue.
Overall, the Northern Qi Dynasty's Yuanxi, Yuanhe, and Yunbei Commanderies, and the Eastern Tang Dynasty's Hexi, Longbei, Yunzhong, Zhaoyuan, Longnan, Qingyue, Yuanning, Guangwu, and Sushan Commanderies were all included in the Invincible City system.
The Western Zhou Dynasty had five counties, Moyin, Moyang, Tiexi, Gaotang, and Sushun. The Northern Qi Dynasty had five counties, Tianmo, Xihai, Xianglian, Beichuan, and Tiangu. The Eastern Tang Dynasty had seven counties, Yundong, Yinning, Yangning, Xuanyang, Yechuan, Yuanping, and Huiguang.
At present, the scope of the system's coverage already spanned across the three dynasties and almost occupied the entire northwestern region of the Eastern Tang dynasty.
Moreover, this was only under the direct control of the system. Master Zhang could roam freely and be invincible.
His and Chang 'an's influence could be expanded to a wider world!
Previously, when they only occupied half of Longbei and half of Longnan, the surrounding territories of Hexi, Yunzhong, Longnan, and even some territories of the Northern Qi Dynasty had already submitted to Chang 'an.
So, what about now?
Inside the Great Ming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smiled faintly.
In the Alpha Hall, his projection of Mr. Dark Cloud was looking at a middle-aged man and a young man in front of him.
One was a Taoist and the other was a Taoist.
The young man was the ninth son of the King of Tang, Li Xuanxin, the Prince of Duohe in the Eastern Tang, Li Qiong.
The middle-aged Taoist was Meng Shen, the leader of the Xuan Yi Taoist Sect, one of the four famous Eastern Tang Taoist sects.
They were secretly rescued by Shen Herong and successfully escaped back to Chang 'an.
Li Dong, the Old Prince of the Eastern Tang, who had been chasing after them, was captured by Shen Herong.
The battle between the two sides in the Six Springs Mountain was discovered by the Secret Pavilion of the Eastern Tang. They reported it to the King of Tang and the others, so that the King of Tang and his people rushed to the Six Springs Mountain.
The strength of the sentries was limited, so they did not dare to get close. Therefore, they knew the details of the battle.
But in fact, Li Dong was quickly captured by Shen Herong. The sentries who reported the news also failed to escape.
"Li Dong has been captured," Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently, "As for Li Xuanxin, he has been killed."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Li Qiong's expression became a little complicated.
Meng Shen, the leader of the Xuan Yi Taoist Sect, bowed and said, "The City Lord of Chang 'an is very powerful. Li Xuanxin tried to defy him. He only has himself to blame."
Mister Dark Cloud sat down and looked at the two of them. "Li Xuanxin naturally deserves what happened to him today. However, I'm curious as to how the two of you ended up like this."
Li Qiong calmed down and then said, "I was too impatient and greedy. I thought I could plot against my father, but I fell into his trap and got Sect Leader Meng involved."
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded slightly. "You're honest. But your good attitude can't cover up your previous incompetence."
Li Qiong bowed to Mr. Dark Cloud. "My father and granduncle are not here this time. My elder brother Li Yi and uncle Li Xuannian are also punished by Chang 'an. My elder brother Li Hong fled to the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Now, there are no masters of the Eighth Realm in the Tang Empire, including the capital of Luyang.
Please give me a chance to redeem myself and take down the Tang Empire for Chang 'an. "
Mr. Dark Cloud looked at him quietly. "It's true that the Chief of the Eastern Tang Empire belongs to the meritorious. But as you said, the Eastern Tang Empire is now like a fish on the chopping board. Anyone can take it. It's no longer a meritorious service."
Li Qiong bowed deeply again. "I just want to make up for my previous mistakes. Please give me a chance."
Meng Shen also said, "Please give I a chance to make up for my mistakes."
Mr. Dark Cloud glanced at the two of them. After a while, he nodded slightly. "This is your last chance."
Then, he waved his hand lightly.
A small porcelain bottle landed in front of Li Qiong and Meng Shen.
Li Qiong took it and opened it. There were two elixirs inside.
"Is this the famous Reincarnation Elixir in Chang 'an? Thank you for the elixir. "
Li Qiong thanked Mr. Dark Cloud. Then, he and Meng Shen each took one of the elixirs.
In the next moment, the two of them immediately felt that their previous serious injuries had healed.
The two of them thanked Mr. Dark Cloud in unison. Then, they bade farewell and left.
After leaving Chang 'an, they rushed all the way back to the Eastern Tang Empire's capital, Luyang City.
When they returned to Luyang City, the people were in a state of panic.
Li Qiong and Meng Shen's return shocked the people in the city.
"It's you two traitors?" An elder of the imperial family shouted angrily.
"It seems that my father has sent a message back. Uncle already knows about me and Sect Leader Meng." Li Qiong's expression was calm.
The elder said bitterly, "You are also a member of the Li Family. As a descendant of the Eastern Tang Royal Family, do you think Chang 'an will let you go?"
"Yes."
Li Qiong nodded. "Chang 'an is bigger than we thought. Not only the city, but also His Majesty's heart. But the premise is that I am loyal to him."
The elder smiled bitterly. "So, now is the time for you to show your loyalty to the rebels in Chang 'an?"
Li Qiong also smiled. His smile was a little complicated but also a little relaxed. "Yes."
Then, he raised his hand and punched out.
The other party met the attack with a four-sided spear, but he was no match for Li Qiong, who was at the Eighth Realm.
Besides, Meng Shen, who was also at the Eighth Realm, was holding the line for Li Qiong.
In the end, it was a one-sided battle.
A large number of people in the imperial family and those who were loyal to the Li Family were wiped out.
Li Qiong had no intention of killing.
In Luyang City, not everyone wanted to fight against him to the end.
After realizing that the situation was hopeless, many of the Eastern Tang officials bowed their heads to Li Qiong, prostrating themselves before him.
"You and I are all subservient to Chang 'an." Li Qiong didn't accept their kowtow. "I'm here on behalf of Chang 'an. I can accept your kowtow. But if you really want to, you can kowtow to the northwest."
The people in front of him looked at each other and finally kowtowed to the northwest in the direction of Chang 'an.
Beside them, Li Qiong said quietly, "After today, there may be Eastern Tang in the world, but there will be no Eastern Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, the people who were kowtowing felt a little lost.
Meng Shen stood beside Li Qiong and said, "The situation here is settled. I want to go to Qingbokgung, Green Cloud Temple, and Fuzhen Guan."
Li Qiong nodded. "Sect Master, please."
Meng Shen flew out of the Royal Capital Luyang Castle on his flying sword and headed straight for the gate of Green Cloud Temple.
On the way, he met up with the disciples of Black Sect who had received his message.
When he went to the capital of Eastern Tang with Li Qiong, Meng Shen had already sent a message to his sect.
The Eastern Tang Dynasty was going to change.
Not only would it change, but it would also change the world!
The Li Family Dynasty would be destroyed.
The inheritance of Taoism on this land would also be reshuffled.
There were three masters of Green Cloud Temple, one Immortal and two Dharma Forms.
Right now, Immortal Qing Ye of the Ninth Realm and Taoist Michito of the Eighth Realm were both captured alive by Chang 'an.
The other master of the Eighth Realm, Taoist Red Leaf, was already dead according to Chang 'an.
From now on, Green Cloud Temple would no longer be the number one Taoist sect in Eastern Tang.
Besides, outside of Green Cloud Temple, Daoist Zhichen of Fuzhen Guan was also captured by Chang 'an.
Taoist Tian Yan, the sect master of Qingbokgung, was dead. The other two Elders of the Seventh Realm, Taoist Jingtong and Taoist Xuanfeng, were also captured by Chang 'an.
As for the Xuan Yi Sect, they had made the right bet.
They had made the right choice, and now it was time to reap the rewards.
In the future, this land would be ruled by the Emperor of Chang 'an.
However, under the rule of Chang 'an, the Taoist forces on this land would be led by Black Sect in the future!
Everyone in the Xuan Yi Sect was excited.
Meng Shen and Li Qiong had already submitted to Chang 'an.
Now that the Li Family Dynasty was gone, Black Sect no longer had any scruples and could act openly.
Liang Zhen, the Elder of the Seventh Realm of Black Sect who was captured by Chang 'an with Li Qiong, had also regained his freedom after a period of work.
Now, he was moving together with Meng Shen. First, they went to Green Cloud Temple.
However, when they approached the gate of Green Cloud Temple, they stopped in their tracks.
"Senior Brother Sect Master, is that … Fuzhen Guan?" Liang Zhen asked uncertainly.
Meng Shen didn't answer immediately. He just looked at the gate of Green Cloud Temple from afar.
There were waves of green lightning there, as if they were currently defending against an external enemy.
Above the mountain peak, there were layers of clouds that covered the sky.
It wasn't strange that the thunder was the thunder of Green Cloud Temple.
However, no matter how Yun, Meng Shen, Liang Zhen, and the others looked at it, it was Fuzhen Guan's famous Dharma Spell from Eastern Tang.
If it was just clouds, it would be fine.
More importantly, there was a colorful cloud in the clouds. No matter how they looked at it, it was Fuzhen Guan's Colorful Fantasy Cloud Dharma Spell.
However, wasn't the Temple Master Daoist Zhichen the only one who had reached the Eighth Realm of Fuzhen Guan and formed the Dharma Spell?
If Zhichen was captured by Chang 'an, then who was the one here?
Had Elder Fuzhen Guan Yunchen broken through and formed the Dharma Spell?
While the people of Black Sect were surprised, a voice suddenly came from the colorful cloud. "Fellow Daoist Meng, how have you been?"
Meng Shen's eyes narrowed. "… Zhichen?"
