The head of Qingxia Villa, Yun Mo, didn't care about Zheng Tianfeng's efforts.
He stood outside Northern Qi's capital, quietly watching the Gao family slowly walk towards destruction.
Gao Zhao and Gao Zhong couldn't stop Daoist Zhichen and Zheng Tianfeng.
Just as Zheng Tianfeng was about to take down Gao Zhong, a giant brush appeared, outlining the endless city walls. It displayed a powerful defensive power, blocking Zheng Tianfeng's attack.
When Zheng Tianfeng saw this, he did not care about anything else and pushed out with his palm. It was truly a case of using brute force to defeat ten people.
The city wall collapsed, and even the huge brush that was flashing with brilliance was sent flying backwards.
Before Northern Qi's Prime Minister Qin Bo 'an could save Gao Zhong, Zheng Tianfeng was already in front of them.
After a glance, Yun Mo's gaze turned to the other side.
Over there, another Eighth Level Confucian appeared.
The Grand Tutor of Northern Qi was also the head of Donghai Academy, second only to Shuofeng Academy, Xia Ning.
The Grand Tutor of Northern Qi came near Daoist Zhichen and Gao Zhao.
Xia Ning used a giant brush to write articles and create a prison.
The person trapped in the prison wasn't Daoist Zhichen.
It was King Qi's third son, Gao Zhao!
Gao Zhao blocked with Scarlet Thunder while glaring at the other. "Grand Tutor Xia! Has Northern Qi ever let down Donghai Academy? "
Xia Ning's expression was calm. He nodded at Gao Zhao and then looked at Daoist Zhichen and Yun Mo. "The Gao family of Northern Qi has treated Donghai Academy and I well. However, they have offended Chang 'an and are indeed guilty. I am willing to give up the darkness and join the light. However, on account of Northern Qi's kindness in the past, I would like to ask the two of you to show mercy and not kill them."
"It's good for you to give up the darkness and join the light."
Daoist Zhi Chen said, "However, your decision to forsake the darkness and join the light can only protect yourself and the Donghai Academy. It does not include pleading for mercy for others. We will not show mercy to anyone who goes against Chang 'an."
He looked at Xia Ning: "I's words have been clear. Does Dean Xia want to change his mind?"
Xia Ning sighed and silently retreated to the side.
Seeing this, Daoist Zhi Chen nodded. "A wise choice."
As he spoke, a cloud of smoke enveloped Gao Zhao within the cage.
Gao Zhao wanted to speak again, but he was already shrouded by the smoke.
For a moment, only the red Thunder Light could be seen flickering in the smoke.
The Thunder Light disappeared.
On the other side, facing the Ninth Realm Zheng Tianfeng, Qin Bo 'an and Gao Zhong were also having a hard time dealing with him.
If Qin Bo 'an had wanted to run away, Zheng Tianfeng wasn't 100% confident that he could make him stay.
But now that Zheng Tianfeng had closed in on him, his chances of escaping were slim.
Yun Mo watched all of this from a distance. Seeing that Northern Qi was fated to be unable to make any more waves, he said, "I'll leave this place to you two. I'll go somewhere else."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and led the people from the Azure Dawn Villa away.
In the Northern Qi Dynasty, the royal family was naturally the backbone of the resistance against Chang 'an.
Although Chang 'an's reputation was growing, a county official was still inferior to a current ruler.
The Gao Dynasty had dominated the eastern and northern borders for many years and still had some influence.
Therefore, there were still many forces on the ground of the Northern Qi Dynasty who obeyed the royal family's decree and resisted Chang 'an's move north.
Misty Sky Peak, which had long pledged allegiance to Chang 'an but still had a deep grudge against Chang' an on the surface, sent a list back to Chang 'an after investigating all of this.
Yun Mo and the others had a list for this trip north. If they needed it, they could just follow the map.
The first place Yun Mo chose was Shuofeng Academy.
In comparison, Yuquan Peak had suffered a great loss due to the internal strife. Almost all of their top cultivators were dead.
The only Eighth Realm cultivator was the new Sect Leader, King Qi's third son, Gao Zhao.
However, Gao Zhao was also in Northern Qi's capital and had already been dealt with by Daoist Zhichen.
Yun Mo didn't pick a pushover like Yuquan Peak. Instead, he went straight to Shuofeng Academy, which had more experts.
However, when he and the disciples of the Azure Dawn Villa arrived at the main courtyard of Shuofeng Academy, they found that it had already been taken over.
The plaque that fell to the ground had the words "Shuofeng Academy" written on it, but it was now broken in two.
Yun Mo glanced at the mark and felt the sword intent within. He felt a sense of familiarity and immediately knew who had arrived first.
Sure enough, after sensing his arrival, a person walked out of the academy.
It wasn't a Confucian scholar, but a martial artist.
A Ninth Realm martial artist like Yun Mo.
Misty Sky Peak's Sect Leader, Lin Ying.
"I won't go to the capital to compete with everyone." Lin Ying cupped his fists at Yun Mo.
Yun Mo calmly returned the greeting. "We're all working for Chang 'an."
Inside Shuofeng Academy, the disciples of Misty Sky Peak were cleaning up.
The North Wind Academy students who were lucky enough to survive were all locked up.
After Yun Mo bade farewell to Lin Ying, he could only settle for the next best thing, which was to take over Yuquan Peak.
A total of four Ninth Realm experts went on a rampage in the vast land of Northern Qi, either subduing or uprooting the sects and families that were originally loyal to the Northern Qi royal family.
Chang 'an's army gathered up north and defeated one Northern Qi army after another, then occupied the Northern Qi Dynasty's territory.
The talents selected by Chang 'an's talent selection ceremony also started to be sent to the Northern Qi Dynasty in large batches, establishing a bureaucratic system that was loyal to Chang' an.
The situation in the Northern Qi Dynasty changed rapidly.
The Seven Disasters Abyss, where people from all sides gathered, became peaceful again.
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over from the southeast.
The leader looked somewhat elegant, but the domineering aura of a king faintly leaked out. He was the ruler of a country.
"His Majesty, what's King Qi's intention for asking you to meet here?"
Zhenren Tianlu, the leader of the number one Daoist sect in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, asked. "He took the initiative to invite you, but now he's nowhere to be seen. We have to guard against any changes."
The leader was the current ruler of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Xuan.
He calmly observed the surroundings of the Seven Disasters Abyss. "Everyone, let's look around."
After everyone looked around, someone reported, "His Majesty, there are traces of a battle between masters. It looks like the Wind Snow Blade of the Gao family of Northern Qi made a move. There might also be people from Shuofeng Academy and Xuanming Temple."
"What about their opponents?" King Jin asked.
"His Majesty, I can't tell, but there are remnants of demonic Qi," an Eastern Jin Dynasty guard reported.
King Jin thought for a moment. "Is it the Flying Snake in Chang 'an? Someone from Chang 'an came here too … "
A Daoist priest beside him wearing a cloth robe and hemp shoes said slowly, "Let's expand the search area. It's still not certain whether King Qi is dead or alive."
"You're right, Zhenren Ge," King Jin immediately ordered.
The seemingly inconspicuous Daoist priest beside him was not from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was Ge Xin, the leader of Jade Mountain in the Southern Chen Dynasty.
Ge Xin had always kept a low profile. This time, he suddenly came out of seclusion to represent the King of Chen.
It was also at this moment that King Jin and Zhenren Tianlu found out that Ge Xin had broken through to the ninth level of Taoism and become a Zhenren. His strength was not inferior to Zhenren Huifang of the Southern Chen Dynasty's Fulu Palace, nor to Zhenren Tianlu himself.
The group immediately expanded the search area and looked around.
King Jin's expression was calm, but his heart was heavy.
King Qi invited him to the Seven Disasters Abyss to find the mystery of Li Jie's improvement. They wanted to use this to resolve the threat of Chang 'an.
The pressure that Chang 'an City brought to them was too great.
King Jin, Sima Xuan, had a deep understanding of this.
In the beginning, when Chang 'an had just risen, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had sent people to contact them and even attacked them from both east and west to deal with the Eastern Tang Dynasty together.
When Chang 'an overthrew the Eastern Tang Dynasty and replaced it, the Eastern Jin Dynasty continued to maintain a good relationship.
But at that time, King Jin had already felt uneasy.
When Chang 'an took over West Chu, his uneasiness became a reality.
Now that Chang 'an had taken over Eastern Tang, West Chu, West Zhou, and Nanliang, the uneasiness in King Jin's heart had reached its peak.
He was sure that it would be his and Eastern Jin's turn soon.
Therefore, when the King of Chen was still hesitating, King Jin did not hesitate and agreed to King Qi's suggestion of helping each other to resist Chang 'an.
This huge pressure forced them to unite.
But even so, the mountain-like pressure still made King Jin feel that he could suffocate at any time.
Zhenren Tianlu, the head of the Three Stars Palace, avoided the eyes and ears of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and met with the head of the Jade Mountain Sect, Ge Xin.
"Fellow Daoist Ge, have you met an expert in recent years?" Zhenren Tianlu asked.
Ge Xin turned to look at him and did not say anything.
Zhenren Tianlu said frankly, "We might be on the same path."
Ge Xin's eyes flickered. "Ancient …"
Zhenren Tianlu smiled and nodded. "… Wood."
"Then, did you come here because of Zhenren Ancient Wood?" Ge Xin asked.
Zhenren Tianlu nodded. "That's right. I received a message from Zhenren Ancient Wood, so I came here to take a look."
"So did Taoist Zi Que of the Xuanming Temple?" Ge Xin asked.
Zhenren Tianlu nodded again. "Yes."
While the two were talking, they suddenly found something on the other side.
Ge Xin and Zhenren Tianlu immediately rushed over.
King Jin's expression was solemn.
After observing for a while, they could not help but look at each other.
"I'm afraid that even cultivators in the Ninth Realm can't do this. It looks like …"
"An expert above the Ninth Realm," King Jin said in a deep voice.
"His Majesty, what should we do next?" Zhenren Tianlu asked.
Ge Xin did not say anything.
He and Zhenren Tianlu both thought of the disciple of the Tai Qing Palace who looked young but had a high cultivation base.
"This is the trace of a battle, which means that there are two opposing forces."
King Jin said in a deep voice, "One side may be Chang 'an. Then, the other side is very important to us."
He immediately made up his mind. "Let's follow them and take a look!"
Everyone agreed, and Ge Xin and Zhenren Tianlu did not object.
Everyone followed the traces of a battle and quietly followed.
After searching for a while, they gradually felt the mountains and earth shaking in front of them.
Although King Jin was eager, he did not dare to approach rashly, lest he be attacked.
He was a Ninth Realm martial artist, but the other party might be someone above the Ninth Realm.
"Don't act rashly," King Jin ordered. "Let's wait for a while and get closer. Don't be rash."
The people of East Jin obeyed his order and approached cautiously.
At the same time, another person kept muttering.
"Closer, closer …"
In the Daming Palace in Chang 'an City, Zhang Dongyun replayed the image transmitted by Shen Herong's Azure Sky Eyes and watched it attentively.
