Zhuo Zui fought as he retreated, looking for an opportunity to shake off Emperor Zhou's pursuit.
After the other members of the Barren Thunder Sect broke out of the encirclement, they quickly hid themselves again.
This time, it was Zhuo Zui's sudden display of his Ninth Realm cultivation that had caught the Western Zhou Dynasty off guard.
The next time they encountered a similar situation, Emperor Zhou and the Western Zhou people would be on guard, and it would be difficult for Zhuo Zui and the Barren Thunder Sect to break out of the encirclement like this time.
After escaping with great difficulty, they immediately hid themselves to avoid being surrounded by the Western Zhou people again.
Zhuo Zui himself was a Ninth Realm master. If he wanted to hide, it would be harder for the Western Zhou people to catch him.
"Arrest all the Barren Thunder Sect disciples. Don't let any of them go."
Emperor Zhou ordered coldly, "Keep them alive so that we can deal with Zhuo Zui in the future."
The people around him answered in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhou looked into the distance and frowned slightly. "Zhuo Zui, you're really something. Even I thought you were insignificant. Instead, you've become a big problem."
"His Majesty, will this thief hide in Chang 'an?" The people around him pondered and made guesses.
"Whether he goes to Chang 'an or not, keep an eye on the east and south," Emperor Zhou ordered.
"Yes, His Majesty," the people answered in unison.
…
While Western Zhou was under attack from both front and rear, Zhang Dongyun was relaxed and happy in the Daming Palace in Chang 'an.
Before this, he had killed Xiang Qianqiu, the King of Chu, with his own hands and completed the Guardian Quest.
[Random Guardian Quest 7.4 — Kill or capture Xiang Qianqiu, the King of Chu, who has entered the city.]
[The City Lord has killed Xiang Qianqiu, who has entered the city. Random Guardian Quest 7.4 has been completed. Obtained 1,000 experience points to level up.]
Then, Li Qiong, Lin Ying, Yun Mo, and the others killed their way into Western Chu and successfully triggered the Guardian Quest.
[Random Guardian Quest 7.8 — Capture or kill Xiang Ling, the Prince of Yunyang of the Western Chu Dynasty, who has become an enemy of Chang 'an.]
[The City Lord's subordinates have killed Xiang Ling, who has become an enemy of Chang 'an. Random Guardian Quest 7.8 has been completed. Obtained 700 experience points to level.]
[Random Defense Mission 7.9: Capture or kill Wu Xiao, the master of Sword-hidden Villa who is an enemy of Chang 'an.]
[Castellan's subordinate has killed Wu Xiao, the enemy of Chang 'an. Random Defense Mission 7.4 completed. Obtained 1,000 experience points to level up.]
Adding up the various Guardian Quests and Guardian Quests' rewards, Zhang Dongyun had accumulated a total of 10,500 Guardian Experience Points.
The system's requirement of 10,000 experience points for the seventh expansion had now been met.
As for the construction mission, after completing Mission 7.1, he received 2,000 points. In addition to the 600 points he had before, he now had a total of 2,600 points. He was still far from reaching 10,000 points.
Zhang Dongyun rubbed his forehead.
After triggering the Guardian Mission, it would be much easier to accumulate the Guardian Experience Reward.
It was a pity that the experience points for construction missions had to be earned slowly.
It would be perfect if the two could be interchangeable.
Zhang Dongyun shook his head.
In the next moment, he suddenly had a thought and focused his attention on the Sky Castle below the Daming Palace.
There was a youngster cultivating there, who had just broken through a cultivation realm.
Speaking of which, breaking through from the first realm to the second realm didn't seem to be a big deal.
However, this youngster had just started cultivating the Demonic Path not long ago, and he already had such achievements. It was really extraordinary. Master Zhang hadn't misjudged him before.
In the Sky Castle, a youngster with a scar on his forehead was silently cultivating the Demonic Path.
Under the surface of his skin, there was an extremely mournful and terrifying state.
It was as if there were strange worms constantly moving under his skin.
After a long time, the youngster stopped cultivating, and the surface of his body returned to its original state. The mournful and terrifying appearance just now could no longer be seen.
The youngster was He Sanyang, who had followed Ao Kong to cultivate the Demonic Path's Illusory Sky Dragon Transformation.
He stood up and looked down at his body.
Just now, he had also seen the abnormal changes in his appearance and was inwardly shocked.
Was the Demonic Path all like this?
No wonder other cultivators rejected it.
It was like turning oneself into a monster …
Or rather, turning a human into a demon.
He Sanyang secretly sighed in his heart.
However, he had long since stopped regretting taking this path.
If he was still a little hesitant before, after he quickly entered the sect, formed the Demonic Path's blood seed, and stepped into the first realm of the Demonic Path, he was convinced that Mr. Dark Cloud, who had brought him back, and that hateful master, hadn't lied to him.
He really was a genius in cultivating the Demonic Path.
Although He Sanyang wanted to cultivate martial arts more, he really didn't have the talent.
However, compared to his interests, he was more concerned about whether he could quickly become stronger and obtain power.
Since the Demonic Path was suitable for him, then he would cultivate the Demonic Path and become a demon.
As for the danger of losing his mind because of the demon blood and losing control of his mind, the youngster still believed that man could conquer nature. He would definitely be able to overcome it with his own spiritual will.
Ao Kong's reaction to his idea was, "Haha …"
The problem of losing control of the demon blood was not something that could be solved by the cultivator's own will.
The stronger the will, the more intense the loss of control would be.
In short, they would only stop when they were defeated.
Since ancient times, the only exception was probably Ao Ying.
He Sanyang had stepped into the Demonic Path through Ao Kong's blood. The negative effects on his mind and the loss of control of his mind would be waiting for him as his cultivation base improved.
However, the discovery that Ao Kong could break the convention of the Demonic Path's cultivators by using his own blood to successfully turn someone into a demon made Zhang Dongyun, Shen Herong, and Ao Kong even more interested.
He Sanyang had formed the Demonic Path's blood seed. Now that the blood seed had sprouted and spread throughout his body, it was a sign that he had succeeded.
However, the youngster had been criticizing his master, Ao Kong, these days.
After He Sanyang had formed the blood seed, Ao Kong no longer cared about him. He went into closed-door cultivation and left He Sanyang alone to explore the Spatial Illusory Dragon Scripture.
If He Sanyang had not asked Ao Ying for advice, he would have wasted a lot of time exploring on his own.
He Sanyang left his residence and stretched his body.
However, before he could relax, a black cloud floated in front of him all of a sudden.
Mr. Dark Cloud's voice came from the black cloud. "Come down to Sky City and meet me at Dubhe Hall."
He Sanyang was grateful to Mr. Dark Cloud.
Although Mr. Dark Cloud had made fun of him back in Yin Chuan City, he had given him a chance to change his fate.
He Sanyang followed the light pillar and landed on the ground. He then met Mr. Dark Cloud in Dubhe Hall.
"Take these things and go to the Land of Old Chu."
Mr. Dark Cloud gave He Sanyang a small pot and two jade slips.
At the same time, there were a few huge rocks beside him. "Take a few Thunder Dragon Colt with you."
He Sanyang replied, "Yes, Sir."
He was stunned when he heard about the Land of Old Chu. Then, he was secretly shocked.
He was originally from the Eastern Tang, but now the hundreds of counties in the Eastern Tang had become the Land of Old Tang.
As the name implied, didn't the Land of Old Chu mean that the Western Chu Dynasty was also finished?
Because of Chang 'an?
In the short days after he came to Chang 'an?
After He Sanyang was secretly shocked, he felt a burst of eagerness in his heart.
Now, he was also a person from Chang 'an!
"Give the spiritual fruit in the pot and five Mountain God Rocks to Yan Xishi, Zheng Tianfeng, Li Qiong, Chen Jiezhi, and Hu Yinghua."
Mr. Dark Cloud continued, "Give the two jade slips to Purple Sun and Daoist Zhichen. Do you understand?"
He Sanyang replied, "I understand. Please rest assured, Sir."
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded slightly. "Understood. Let's go."
"Yes, Sir."
He Sanyang paused for a moment and then said, "Sir, if you don't mind, can you ask someone to do me a small favor?"
"Go ahead." Mr. Dark Cloud's tone was calm.
"I want to send some letters to my old friends in Liaozhou Prefecture of Qingyue County," He Sanyang replied.
Mr. Dark Cloud glanced at him. "You can go back on your way this time."
He Sanyang shook his head slightly and said firmly, "I'm not successful in cultivation. I don't have the face to go back and show off. I have to make some small achievements so that I can return home in glory."
Mr. Dark Cloud looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Go to the Courier Yard and tell them that I agree."
He Sanyang was overjoyed. "Thank you, Sir!"
He said goodbye to Mr. Dark Cloud and went to the Courier Yard first. He wrote the letters and asked someone to send them out.
Then, he took the six Thunder Dragon Colt that were arranged for him and rode one himself. He took the remaining five Thunder Dragon Colt, one for each Mountain God Rock.
The six Thunder Dragon Colt immediately took to the air and left Chang 'an, heading southwest.
He first arrived at Ying Yun City, the capital of the West Chu Dynasty.
Li Qiong was in charge of the center of the city and was in charge of digesting the land of Chu in Chang 'an.
Li Qiong saw He Sanyang and the Mountain God Rock and Xuanyuan Fruit he brought. His breathing quickened.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Mr. Dark Cloud."
He took the things and bowed to He Sanyang solemnly.
Even if He Sanyang was only at the Second Realm of the Devil Path.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please stay in the city for a few days. I'll hold a banquet to welcome you." Li Qiong's attitude was sincere.
He Sanyang saw this and had a strange feeling.
He didn't feel smug because a Level-8 powerhouse was so respectful to him.
The young man heard Li Qiong's words of gratitude to the Castellan and Mr. Dark Cloud very clearly.
He deeply understood that his current treatment was brought to him by Chang 'an.
This made the young man feel more and more eager to improve his strength and status.
'One day, I'll be able to make important people respect me with my own strength …'
The demon blood seed in the young man's heart kept jumping and seemed to be stronger than before.
He Sanyang didn't want to miss the wealth and prosperity that he had yearned for in his life.
"I still have to deliver His Majesty's rewards to the other seniors, so I won't stay any longer. Please forgive me."
He Sanyang had learned a lot of etiquette in Chang 'an these days. At this moment, he said goodbye to Li Qiong politely.
He changed his route from Ying Yun City to the north and approached the border between Western Zhou and the old Chu.
Here, Chang 'an's army was confronting the Zhou army.
Daoist Zhichen, Purple Sun, and the others were here.
Originally, the Western Zhou powerhouses on the other side had gradually adapted to Chang 'an's attacks.
However, as time passed, they were shocked to find that the Chang 'an powerhouses on the other side were getting stronger as the battle went on.
