After killing Zhou Wang and capturing Liyang Temple Master Xiao Pengcheng, Zhang Dongyun no longer personally involved himself in the Western Zhou war.
After he returned to Chang 'an, he sent Meng She to continue to the Western Zhou front line to help. Thus, the Chang' an army was unstoppable.
Zhang Dongyun interrogated Xiao Pengcheng, who was captured alive.
The results of the interrogation confirmed his previous conjecture.
Ying Xiaowo had indeed been temporarily living in Liyang Temple, living in seclusion.
Yang Li's previous conjecture was correct.
However, about two days before Chang 'an arrived, Ying Xiaowo had left Liyang Temple.
As for his specific whereabouts, Xiao Pengcheng did not know the truth.
Zhang Dongyun was able to block Yang Li because he guessed that Yang Li could only gamble that Ying Xiaowo was at the Zhou-Chu border.
If Yang Li wanted to ask for help from Ying Xiaowo, this was the only place he could go.
If he went to Northern Qi and other places, Shen Herong, who had locked onto his position, would catch up to him before he even arrived.
But did Ying Xiaowo go to the Zhou-Chu border to see Zicheng Mountain's Headmaster, Zhang Bining?
Zhang Dongyun was also somewhat uncertain about this.
He could only order Yun Mo, Purple Sun, and the others in the Chang 'an army to strengthen the offensive.
In the end, Zhang Bining led the disciples of Zicheng Mountain, the former Headmaster of Xuanhe Academy, Jia Zhang, and the Western Chu royal family to retreat again and again.
In the end, they retreated to the capital of Western Zhou, Qiyang City.
After Qiyang City was breached, they followed the Western Zhou royal family to break out of the encirclement and retreat further west.
The masters of Chang 'an continued to pursue, not relaxing for a moment.
However, in the process, they did not see Ying Xiaowo appear at all.
Did he really not go to see Zicheng Mountain's Zhang Bining, or did he feel that it was not the right time for him to appear?
Zhang Dongyun thought for a moment and did not think about it anymore.
Right now, knowing that Ying Xiaowo had returned to the Eastern Border was the most important information.
If the other party wanted to investigate and secretly came to Chang 'an, that would be the best result.
If the other party did not come, with his profound cultivation, most people would not be able to find him.
Zhang Dongyun's attention was now on another side.
"What do you think?"
He asked.
The corpse of a giant wolf was placed in the hall in front of him.
The giant wolf was as big as a small mountain, but the space in the hall seemed to be limitless. It could actually accommodate it.
Beside the huge wolf corpse stood a smaller girl. Their sizes were completely disproportionate.
The girl's expression was solemn. After observing the back of the giant wolf's neck for a while, she turned to look at Zhang Dongyun. "There are cross-shaped wounds. One of them should be your work, Big Brother."
Zhang Dongyun nodded. "That's right. I left it for him in the Immortals."
Shen Herong, who looked like a girl, nodded with a serious expression. She then turned her head and looked at the back of the wolf's neck for a while.
"The other wound looks familiar too. It looks like it was left by … seventh brother?"
She looked back at Zhang Dongyun again.
Zhang Dongyun stood up from his seat, walked down the stairs, and came to Shen Herong. "When and under what circumstances do you think this wound was caused?"
Shen Herong shook her head. "The Immortals opened for a limited time. It was a rare opportunity. Seventh brother was in closed-door training. The eleven of us had no time to wait for him, so we had to enter the Immortals first. After that, many foreign enemies attacked us.
I once … suspected that seventh brother was alone outside. I wondered whether he was really in closed-door training and whether he had summoned other foreign enemies. "
She sighed and said, "Later on, when I thought about it, Seventh Brother had always been straightforward and upright. He shouldn't have used such underhanded tricks. However, when I was reincarnated for the first time, I was in the Central Region, but Seventh Brother didn't show up. He disappeared like us."
Zhang Dongyun listened quietly and did not ask more about her experience during her first reincarnation. "What do you think happened between him and Yang Li?"
"I'm more willing to believe that seventh brother despised Yang Li and attacked him out of anger."
Shen Herong said slowly, "But we can't rule out the possibility that they were both traitors and had conflicts with each other."
Zhang Dongyun nodded and looked at the corpse of the giant wolf. "Write it down. We'll look for him later. When we find him, the truth will come out."
"Brother, you're right."
Shen Herong's literary talent condensed into a blank piece of rice paper.
Then, this piece of paper was printed on the wound on the back of the giant wolf's neck.
Soon, a large cross appeared on the paper with thick ink and heavy colors.
Shen Herong put the paper away carefully.
"Brother, how is the child?" The girl put away the paper and asked Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun casually pointed a finger.
A figure fell on the ground.
It was He Sanyang, who had fallen into Yang Li's hands.
His broken arm was as good as new.
However, his whole body was still unconscious and in a deep sleep.
The skin on his body surface was flat, unlike the bulging and twisting blood vessels before.
"The injury has healed. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise."
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently.
Shen Herong walked to He Sanyang's side, pressed her small hand on his forehead for a moment, and then moved to his chest.
After a while, she nodded slightly. "The fragment of the Immortals is really special. Yang Li and Brother Eleven have both touched the fragment, but the magic of the formation is different.
Fortunately, Brother Eleven has already laid a good foundation for this child. If Yang Li's Sirius bloodline came in first, he would have died.
Now, there is a chance for him to have both the Sirius bloodline and the Heavenly Dragon bloodline, like Brother Eleven, to have two bodies. "
Shen Herong looked up and smiled. "It's just that Brother Eleven wants to pass on the bloodline of the Mountain-moving Demonic Ape to him. It's difficult this time."
"It's not like Eleventh Brother hasn't improved over the years."
Zhang Dongyun smiled faintly. "Who said that having two bodies is the limit?"
Shen Herong also smiled and nodded. "The little guy has already broken through to the Third Realm. When Brother Eleven comes out of seclusion, you can personally guide him in his cultivation."
"Of course."
Zhang Dongyun said, "Brother Eleven is his master. How can others overstep their boundaries?"
He waved his hand, and He Sanyang's figure disappeared from the main hall.
The mountain-like body of the demonic wolf was also moved away.
Shen Herong's smile disappeared. "Big Brother, I plan to try to find Ying Xiao's whereabouts."
"Be careful." Zhang Dongyun didn't stop her.
"Don't worry, Big Brother." Shen Herong said goodbye to him and left the main hall.
Zhang Dongyun continued his cultivation.
After a while, in the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Chang 'an was full of good news.
A Blood Phoenix flew into Chang 'an and landed in the City in the Sky, where it transformed into an old man in red.
The old man had a serious expression on his face as he walked up the stairs to the Daming Palace, which was even higher up in the sky.
After asking for an audience, he received Zhang Dongyun's permission to enter the palace.
"Zhuo Zui has been reunited with his father?" Zhang Dongyun's voice was dignified and ethereal.
Blood Shadow replied respectfully, "Zhuo Zui has kept his mouth shut. The Western Zhou Dynasty has always thought that he was the leader of the Wildthunder Sect. He was ambitious and didn't dare to submit to the royal family, so he rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty.
Because of this, his father has been imprisoned in the Western Zhou Imperial Prison. Although he was tortured every day, his life was preserved.
When the Western Zhou royal family finally gave up on Qiyang City and broke out, they planned to massacre all the prisoners in the Imperial Prison.
However, Zhuo Zui and the others rebelled in advance and broke into the Imperial Prison. Because of this, Zhuo Zui's father wasn't killed. Now, Zhuo Zui has specially requested that his father be sent to Chang 'an to recuperate. "
Zhang Dongyun said, "The reunion of flesh and blood is a joyous occasion. His request has been granted."
"Your Majesty is magnanimous. This old servant thanks Your Majesty on behalf of Zhuo Zui."
After a moment of silence, Blood Shadow bowed again. "This old servant asks for Your Majesty's forgiveness. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me."
Zhang Dongyun's tone was unruffled. "Speak."
Blood Shadow said in a low voice, "This old servant is incompetent. I couldn't take down Prince Ji Fang of Zhou, which alarmed Your Majesty to personally take action. I truly deserve to die ten thousand times."
Blood Shadow had seen Zhang Dongyun's real appearance before.
However, like Shen Herong and Ao Kong, he had thought that Zhang Dongyun's real body was the Evil Emperor's doppelganger.
When he had first heard that there was a so-called "Mr. Zhang" among the people who had entered the City in the Sky with him, the old devil hadn't reacted.
But when he really saw Mr. Zhang, how could he not understand who he was?
But since His Majesty had made such arrangements, there had to be a deeper meaning. Thus, when Blood Shadow met Zhang Dongyun in public, he resisted the urge to salute him.
On the surface, he even had to pretend that he was somewhat afraid of the other party.
In the eyes of the people around him, it was as if he regarded Mr. Zhang as a competitor.
Seeing Zhang Dongyun personally defeat Prince Ji Fang of Zhou and the head of Liyang Monastery, Xiao Pengcheng, the old devil's first reaction wasn't joy like the others.
Instead, he was filled with horror.
It was as if he could feel His Majesty's dissatisfaction with him.
After Zhang Dongyun left, Blood Shadow didn't dare to follow him.
He could only work harder in the following process of attacking Western Zhou.
Now that they had taken Western Zhou's capital, Qiyang City, and had pushed back the other side continuously until they were almost forced into the sea, Blood Shadow finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief. He returned, trembling with fear, to beg for forgiveness from Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun looked quietly at the kneeling Blood Shadow, but didn't say anything.
The silence made the old devil's heart clench even more, and he almost couldn't breathe.
After a long while, Zhang Dongyun finally opened his mouth. "Know your shame and be brave. Both are useful."
Blood Shadow hurriedly kowtowed again. "This old servant understands. Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Dongyun said, "Western Zhou has basically been pacified. You don't have to worry about the rest. Go into seclusion and cultivate for a while."
Blood Shadow hurriedly replied, "As Your Majesty commands."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, the rest of Western Zhou …"
After Zhang Dongyun returned to Chang 'an, Blood Shadow became the commander-in-chief of the attack on Western Zhou.
Although the most powerful person in the formation was the Ninth Realm Flying Snake Yun Xing, as well as Yun Mo and the others who were also at the Ninth Realm, as one of the Five Masters of Sky City, everyone still had to be courteous to Mr Blood Shadow and obey his orders.
Blood Shadow had now returned to Chang 'an. Although the overall situation of the war on the Western Zhou Dynasty's side had been settled, the dust hadn't completely settled yet.
Chang 'an already had many experts in Western Zhou's army, but they still needed a commander so that everyone could be coordinated.
"Let Zhuo Zui handle the affairs of Zhou's people first," Zhang Dongyun casually instructed.
