The Nine Peaks Academy was located in the east of the Central Region. There were nine peaks near the lake.
The peaks weren't steep, but they were famous for their beautiful scenery.
The entire academy was divided into nine branches, and each of them was located on the top of the nine peaks.
Day and night, the literary talent would soar to the sky.
During the day, it looked like smoke, and at night, it looked like a light beam.
The academy had only been in the city for 20 years, but it was now a sacred place of Confucianism that could be compared with the Saint Evolution Mansion.
However, because of this, someone had come to find them.
Most of the teachers and students in the academy weren't on the mountain right now. They were by the lake at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, the literary talent there was soaring to the sky.
Although it looked like a discussion between scholars, the dangers involved were no less than that of a martial artist's saber and sword.
On the first peak of the nine peaks, a scholarly old man looked at the literary gathering by the lake with a calm expression.
Beside him, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the old man to speak.
The scholarly old man's attention seemed to be on the literary gathering below.
Compared to the young man mentioning the Chang 'an of the Eastern Border, the Saint Evolution Mansion was indeed hostile, and the threat was imminent.
Just as the young man was thinking, the scholarly old man suddenly spoke.
"Contact Kuohu to come back."
The old man looked at the literary gathering below and said without looking back, "Let him deal with it first."
The young man was slightly surprised.
Mr. Kuohu was the title of Grandmaster Shen Hao of the third peak of the Nine Peaks Academy.
He was also the nephew of the old man in front of him.
He was the young man's sixth uncle.
"Granduncle, do you mean to summon my sixth uncle back to deal with the Chang 'an matter?" The young man confirmed again.
The old man turned his head calmly, but he didn't speak. He just looked at the young man quietly.
The young man hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll contact my sixth uncle right now."
Shen Hao was studying outside now.
The scholarly old man didn't summon him back when the Saint Evolution Mansion came.
The old man cared about the Chang 'an, right?
He was still here watching the literary gathering, so it seemed that the Saint Evolution Mansion's matter was more important.
The old man didn't care, right?
He purposely summoned Shen Hao back.
"Granduncle, the news from the Tai Qing Palace also lacks details. What's the origin of the so-called Chang 'an?"
The young man couldn't help but ask, "The Eastern Border is so barren. How can they produce experts above the ninth level? Don't tell me there's someone who couldn't stay in the Central Plains and ran over there to become a tiger among the monkeys? "
Shen Tianxian, the Dean of the Nine Peaks Academy and the Family Lord of the Shens, didn't turn his head this time.
"Let Kuo Hu investigate this matter."
The young man responded and immediately retreated.
After he left, Shen Tianxian frowned slightly. The calm expression on his face was no longer there.
The Supreme Purity Palace didn't mention the twelve Yama-Kings of the past.
As such, the Nine Peaks College had limited information about Chang 'an.
However, Shen Tianxian suddenly had an ominous premonition.
There was no beginning, no end, no evidence, no clue.
But Shen Tianxian's heart was haunted by it.
At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, in the Daming Palace of Chang 'an, Zhang Dongyun was watching the light and shadow in front of him.
"He escaped back to the Supreme Purity Palace?"
This time, the image reflected Shen Herong's current face.
She took off the Azure Sky Eye from her head and placed it in front of her.
"Eighth Sister and Eleventh Brother were one step behind. Eleventh Brother is sulking."
They had been reincarnated and re-cultivated. Their current cultivation and strength were not enough to attack the Supreme Purity Palace.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Dongyun looked calm. "Come back first."
Shen Herong nodded. "Brother, don't worry. We won't take the risk. I'll persuade Eleventh Brother."
Zhang Dongyun nodded. Then, he reached out and waved his hand in the air. The image temporarily disappeared.
He stood up from the throne and walked to the center of the hall. Then, he silently operated his magic skills to nourish his domineering aura.
Slowly, with the support of the massive amount of Spiritual Qi provided by the system of Invincible City, his body and spirit were constantly honed and improved.
From the ninth to the tenth realm, or rather, from the ninth realm to the Martial Emperor Realm, it was much more difficult than before.
Countless people were stuck at this level.
To some extent, it could even be said that it might be slightly easier to break through from the first realm to the second realm of the Martial Emperor Realm.
However, Zhang Dongyun was not worried about this.
The Evil Emperor Sutra had a trick that was beneficial for martial artists to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.
With the help of Invincible City, it was difficult for Zhang Dongyun to encounter a bottleneck in his comprehension.
Now, he only needed a little time to constantly nourish his Qi and blood.
When he finally broke through a certain limit, everything would fall into place.
Slowly, Zhang Dongyun stopped cultivating after cultivating for half a day.
He sat back in his seat and looked at the system's mission list while deep in thought.
[Construction Mission 8.1 — The city has expanded and the population has increased. The security problem is complicated. It needs to be unified and a more complete and detailed law enforcement department. City Lord, please further plan the expansion.]
Seeing this construction mission, Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly.
When the Heaven Punishment Palace was first built, the city was still very small.
After that, as the city expanded, the Heaven Punishment Palace's criminal law enforcement and city defense functions were gradually separated.
Now, it was necessary to further divide and arrange the internal system of the Heaven Punishment Palace.
The area covered by Invincible City was already extremely large.
The area surrounded by the city walls alone was more than a dozen counties and tens of millions of square kilometers.
The actual area covered by the system outside the city walls was even larger than the territory of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The population under its jurisdiction was already calculated in "100 million" units.
The Heaven Punishment Palace's manpower had been constantly expanding, but now it seemed a little bloated, dragging down work efficiency.
It was imperative to further divide and plan.
Not to mention the problems of prisons and trials, just the law enforcement department should be divided into security, economic, and even high-violence arrests.
After the Heaven Punishment Palace's influence expanded to the entire Eastern Border, it also needed to be specifically divided into the responsibilities of the various directors.
While thinking, Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Dark Cloud into the Heaven Punishment Palace and began to work on the specific reform plan.
While Chang 'an City was undergoing internal changes, the external forces were also continuing to expand.
The Eastern Border had already fallen into the hands of Chang 'an.
Now that they were expanding, they naturally couldn't cross the sea to the Central Plains.
However, the vast desolate sea around the Eastern Border hadn't completely calmed down yet.
The Eastern Sea's Longtian Island was directly sunk by the Flying Snake Meteor and disappeared from the sea.
On the islands of the Southern Sea, more and more experts of Chang 'an City began to appear.
Fu Jingbo, the Sect Leader of the Southern Mountain Sect and a female Martial Emperor of the Ninth Realm, had been tracking the Sect Leader of the Tianyi Sect in the South Sea.
The Tianyi Sect had been destroyed, and only a few high-ranking members such as Zhenren Konghai were still fleeing.
The sea was vast and boundless, and Zhenren Konghai had been operating in the South Sea for many years.
He was focused on hiding and escaping, and Fu Jingbo, who was also at the Ninth Realm, couldn't find his whereabouts.
Fortunately, there were weak members of the Tianyi Sect successively surrendering to the Chang 'an City and confessing some clues about Zhenren Konghai. Therefore, Fu Jingbo didn't lose his whereabouts and could continue to pursue him.
She walked on the sea and arrived near a deserted island.
The closer the island was to such a place, the more likely it was to be a temporary stop for Zhenren Konghai.
Fu Jingbo was about to step forward when her eyes suddenly flashed.
A large forest suddenly appeared on one of the deserted islands.
On the surface of the sparse islands, hundreds and thousands of towering trees suddenly rose from the ground, and the tall treetops covered the entire island.
In the forest, there seemed to be a faint fog.
When Fu Jingbo saw this, a thought immediately flashed through her mind.
The people of the Southern Chen Fulu Palace.
Yes, the Southern Chen Dynasty is no longer here, only the Land of the Old Chen.
Fu Jingbo then saw a water dragon suddenly break through the forest and fly into the air.
The person on the water dragon was Zhenren Konghai.
The person who attacked him was the Sect Leader of the Fulu Palace, Zhenren Huifang.
"Fellow Daoist, why must you make things difficult for I?"
As Zhenren Konghai spoke, he made a hand seal.
As a result, countless water dragons rose from the sea around the island and surrounded them from all directions.
At the same time, the sea began to rise, and the tide rushed into the forest, causing the trees to be washed down one after another.
"Let's not talk about the fact that I have to follow the orders of Chang 'an. Fellow Daoist, you, Zicheng Mountain, Green Cloud Temple, Li Yang Monastery, and Jade Embracing Mountain are the same. Fellow Daoist, I's visit today is not wrong." Zhenren Huifang smiled.
He flicked his finger, and purple fog rushed out from the forest on the island.
The thin mist actually managed to block the surrounding seawater.
At the same time, the fog flew into the sky and turned into countless vines, whipping the water dragons that came from all directions, and at the same time, wrapping around Zhenren Konghai.
Zhenren Konghai did not say anything else, his index and middle fingers were like a sword, and swept in the air.
From between him, a line of water flew out, like a sword cutting through the air.
The Endless Primordial Water was condensed into a line, and immediately showed an invincible power.
The purple fog was all cut off by Zhenren Konghai's line of water.
Zhenren Konghai took the opportunity to escape, but a mighty sword light appeared in front of him, forcing him to retreat and dodge.
With a sword in hand, Fu Jingbo's aura was imposing. The Southern Mountain Sect's Southern Mountain Sword was in her hand, and a grand aura spread in all directions.
"Thanks to Scholar Fu's persistence, I could find him." Zhenren Huifang said with a smile.
Fu Jingbo nodded and did not say anything.
Her attention was on Zhenren Konghai, and she immediately slashed out with her sword.
Zhenren Huifang also used his Fulu Palace's spell to besiege Zhenren Konghai.
Zhenren Konghai was fighting one against two, and he was suddenly in a difficult situation, unable to resist.
However, there was water everywhere, and it was his home ground.
Although he could not defeat Fu Jingbo and Zhenren Konghai, he still looked for an opportunity to escape.
Fu Jingbo slashed at him with her sword, but the old Daoist's body turned into flowing water, and the sword light only cut the water apart.
Zhenren Konghai used the sea below to escape with the Dao of Water Escape.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a hundred meter long terrifying "moonlight" slashed down in front of him, forcing Zhenren Konghai out from the bottom of the water.
Zhenren Konghai looked carefully, and saw that the master of the Mirror Moon Tower, Yan Xishi, was already in front of him.
"The situation on the sea is really complicated, and it's convenient for you."
Yan Xishi looked at Zhenren Konghai quietly: "But our Chang 'an has more people."
