Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Yang Maoran quietly. After a while, he nodded slightly. "Very good."
Slowly, he said, "His Majesty loves the people, and we strive to imitate him. As long as the people of Nanliang sincerely submit to Chang 'an, Chang' an will accept them.
The people of Chu, Tang, and Liang will all be treated equally by Chang 'an.
I know you don't care about personal power, position, or fame, but His Majesty has set the rules. Those who have done well will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished.
In the process of Chang 'an conquering Liang, those who have done well will be greatly rewarded. "
Yang Maoran said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, thank you for your magnanimity. I am already old and do not have many years left to live. I truly do not care about personal glory and fame. As long as Chang 'an treats the people well, I will be able to rest in peace even if I have to donate my old bones in the process of Chang' an conquering Liang."
"Go back and prepare," Mr. Dark Cloud said. "If there is a need, I will contact you."
Yang Maoran bowed. "Thank you, Mr. Dark Cloud."
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded slightly to Song Bin, and Song Bin immediately took Yang Maoran out.
Having received Chang 'an's promise, Yang Maoran was happy, but he did not lose his composure. He continued to disguise himself to avoid attracting attention.
After returning to Nanliang, he had to continue carefully planning.
Chang 'an's rise made all of Nanliang uneasy.
Xiao Kun, an expert of the imperial family, and Lu Chen, the Headmaster of Cicada Academy, were already trapped in Chang 'an. All of Nanliang was now indecisive.
Chang 'an had first attacked the Eastern Tang, then attacked Western Chu, and now was at war with Western Zhou. They were clearly showing signs of wanting to conquer the world.
Under these circumstances, King Liang, Xiao Keye, was naturally uneasy.
Without the lips, the teeth would be cold. Should they take the risk and join forces with Northern Qi and Western Zhou to attack Chang 'an?
All of Nanliang, or perhaps King Liang himself, had yet to make a decision.
This might be the second most important choice King Liang faced in his life.
The first time was when he killed his brother and usurped the throne. The second time was when he faced Chang 'an now.
Of course, King Liang hadn't made up his mind yet when it came to external matters, but he didn't hesitate at all when it came to internal matters.
No matter what decision he made, he had to avoid a fire in his backyard.
The Barren Thunder Sect of Western Zhou, the Sword-hidden Villa of Western Chu, and the Xuanhe Academy were all examples.
All of Nanliang was already in a state of panic. King Liang was wantonly purging the country of dissidents.
The teachers and students of Luo Qing Academy had kept a low profile for several decades, but King Liang still hadn't forgotten about them.
Right now, Luo Qing Academy was under heavy surveillance and siege.
If it weren't for the fact that the eighth realm Principal Yang Mengran, who was already over a hundred years old, had personally taken action, or if it were someone else from the academy, they would not have been able to escape the surveillance of Nanliang's sentries.
A storm was brewing in Nanliang, and it was still brewing and expanding.
After a while, it would be even more difficult for Yang Mengran to sneak out.
He had also gone through a lot of hardships on this trip, and now he had to rush back to Nanliang as soon as possible.
Who knew if King Liang would suddenly pay them a visit?
Zhang Dongyun sighed as he watched the other party leave Invincible City.
Some people said that like-minded people would die for their bosom friends.
There really were such people in the world.
Yang Mengran had endured for more than twenty years for the sake of Xiao Zhaoyuan. Now that he finally had the chance to overthrow Xiao Keye, he did not hesitate to take the risk again.
He had indeed disregarded his own life and death.
However, if I hadn't come to this world with Chang 'an City, would he have waited forever for the chance to come?
After all, the former King of Tang, Li Xuanxin, and the former King of Chu, Xiang Qianqiu, were both even harsher and crueler monarchs than Xiao Keye.
On the other hand, King Chen next door was not much better than Xiao Keye.
Zhang Dongyun sighed inwardly. He leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the ceiling of the main hall.
However, he quickly thought of something.
In the next moment, Zhang Dongyun's projection of Mr. Dark Cloud appeared in Chang 'an City's Heaven Punishment Palace.
As Mr. Zhang's mount, Earth Dragon Falling Star did not usually stay in Sky City, but in Heaven Punishment Palace.
When Mr. Zhang was not looking for him, he was responsible for guarding Heaven Punishment Palace.
Sometimes, Earth Dragon Falling Star would go to the courtyard outside Heaven Punishment Palace to show himself.
As a member of the Dragon Clan who was abnormally fierce, he was simply the most suitable signboard for Heaven Punishment Palace. He was full of deterrence to the people in Chang 'an, making them fear Heaven Punishment Palace and not dare to take risks easily.
However, he hadn't seen the Earth Dragon Falling Star for a long time now.
In Heaven Punishment Palace, there was a hall specially set aside for him to rest and cultivate.
Earth Dragon Falling Star, who had been cultivating in seclusion here, finally came out today.
A terrifying aura instantly filled the entire Heaven Punishment Palace.
Some of the prisoners imprisoned in Heaven Punishment Palace were terrified because of it.
Many of them were so scared that their legs went soft and they collapsed to the ground.
The Flying Serpent was mainly frightened.
Earth Dragon Falling Star cultivated the technique that Zhang Dongyun provided to him, and he succeeded in reaching a higher level.
He was originally at the peak of the Eighth Realm of the Demon Clan, the Heaven Reaching Realm.
Otherwise, the little monk Hui Ming would not have been forced to run away when he was in the Seventh Realm.
Now, with Zhang Dongyun's guidance, this Earth Dragon had made great progress and reached the Ninth Realm of the Demon Clan, the Spirit King Realm.
Human cultivators were more used to calling him a Demon King.
Falling Star, who had become a Spirit King, was no longer what he used to be.
The characteristics of the Dragon Clan on him had almost disappeared.
What replaced them was a terrifying serpent with wings.
A Flying Serpent!
Falling Star had the blood of both the Flying Serpent and the Dragon Clan. Usually, he could use most of the innate supernatural powers of the two clans, but they were weaker than those of the pure Flying Serpent or the True Dragon.
But now, with Zhang Dongyun's guidance, he had purified his bloodline and almost completely transformed into a real Flying Serpent.
Now, there were still some characteristics of the Dragon Clan left, so others could still see that he was a mixed-blood.
But if he could go one step further and become a Demon Emperor, then he could completely purify his bloodline and become a real Flying Serpent.
Zhang Dongyun could guide him to become a True Dragon and also to become a Flying Serpent.
There was naturally a reason why he was like this now.
Mr Dark Cloud's figure appeared in front of Falling Star the Flying Serpent. "Not bad. You didn't slack off in your cultivation."
"Thank you for your guidance, Sir. Thank you for your help." Falling Star the Flying Serpent lowered its huge head.
Although he had suffered at the hands of Mr Dark Cloud before, and had even been ordered by the other party to block other people's mounts, now he was relieved.
But at this moment, Yun Xing's heart had already let go of the past. Facing Mr. Dark Cloud, he was more grateful.
The Dharma Access that the other party had taught him had benefited him greatly.
If not for this, he would not have been able to break through to the Ninth Realm so quickly.
Previously, he had indeed been standing at the peak of the Eighth Realm, but there had been too many humans and demons like him since ancient times.
Many of them could not break through the final bottleneck and step into the Ninth Realm in their entire lives.
If not for Mr Dark Cloud's guidance, Falling Star knew that he would not have been completely hopeless at the Ninth Realm, but he definitely would not have been able to take this step now.
Moreover, the other party had even guided him to purify his own bloodline at the Ninth Realm, so that his combat power at the same realm would increase even further.
"Mr. Zhang has praised you for your conscientiousness and steadiness in carrying out your task."
Mr Dark Cloud said, "Meritorious deeds are rewarded, and wrongdoings are punished. Everything you've done before is the reward you deserve."
Falling Star the Flying Serpent lowered its head again. "Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"You're now a Flying Serpent, but there's still a chance for you to reach a higher level," Mr Dark Cloud said.
Falling Star the Flying Serpent's eyes lit up. "Please enlighten me, Sir."
"A reward corresponds to a contribution." Mr Dark Cloud smiled, which was rare.
Falling Star immediately understood. "Please give me your orders, Sir."
Mr Dark Cloud ordered, "Smooth Wind and Rain doesn't need you, but the Flying Serpent can revive the earth.
In the coming days, you don't have to stay in the Divine Punishment Palace. Go to the earth and travel to every inch of land under the rule of Chang 'an.
If Mr. Zhang needs you, he will summon you back. "
Hearing this, Falling Star the Flying Serpent breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was an Earth Dragon, he yearned for the earth. Now that he had turned into a Flying Serpent, his nature was even more so.
If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't even want to go to the earth.
Being able to roam freely on the earth was like a vacation to him.
It was much better than being a prison guard or a mount for others.
Although he knew that Chang 'an wanted him to go underground to help fertilize the land and make it fertile, it was also a pleasure for Falling Star.
In this way, they could get what they needed. It couldn't be more perfect.
Of course, if Mr. Zhang summoned him, he would still have to be his mount. But Mr. Zhang rarely went out, so he believed that such a thing would not happen often.
For a moment, Falling Star the Flying Serpent considered taking the opportunity to run away.
But when he thought of Mr Dark Cloud's hint that he could reach the Demon Royal Realm and the mysterious and powerful power in Chang 'an, Falling Star the Flying Serpent gave up the idea.
If he ran away, it was hard to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
If he stayed here, at least he didn't have to worry about the golden-winged roc …
If he continued to improve his cultivation like this, he might be able to take revenge on the roc in the future.
Thinking of this, Falling Star the Flying Serpent calmed down.
"Yes, Sir." After bowing to Mr Dark Cloud, Falling Star went underground and kept swimming in the vast land under the rule of Chang 'an.
Under the influence of this, the land under the rule of Chang 'an became more and more fertile.
The farmers and people were pleasantly surprised.
Many people subconsciously thanked God.
But soon, they were taught by the "Star Luo" scattered all over the place that the City Lord of Chang 'an was God. They should thank the City Lord of Chang' an.
As a result, praises were heard everywhere.
If the System could provide a measurement of the loyalty of the subjects, Zhang Dongyun believed that this time, the loyalty would definitely soar, or even go off the charts.
The cheers and transmission of the people of Chang 'an even began to affect the people of the surrounding dynasties.
The common people all over the place either questioned or envied.
As for the high-level officials of all places, they all changed their expressions when they talked about Chang 'an.
In the land of Western Zhou, the news kept spreading.
In the end, it reached the ears of a monk.
The monk was a traveling monk from another place.
In addition to begging for alms, he inquired about some information by the way.
For example, he asked if there were two monks, one old and one young, who had come to Western Zhou.
The monk was patient and low-key. He walked around the land of Western Zhou.
In the end, he really found out that there were two monks, one old and one young, heading east.
