Hearing what the disciple of Bifeng Sect said, the merchants and escorts all changed their expressions.
It was obvious that the other side wanted to kill them. Dead men tell no tales.
The surrounding disciples of Bifeng Sect all sneered, drew their swords, and surrounded them.
But at this moment, a voice came from the sky, "How dare you defame the rules of Chang 'an?"
Hearing the voice, the people of Bifeng Sect were shocked. They looked up and saw an old Taoist priest standing in the air.
Seeing this, the disciples of Bifeng Sect all felt a chill down their backs.
The Taoist priest in front of them seemed inconspicuous, but in Qingyue County, he was a cultivation sect and basically everyone knew him.
He was the Elder of Fuzhen Guan, Tang Chi.
In the past, many forces of Qingyue County prayed for the arrival of Chang 'an to destroy Fuzhen Guan.
In this way, they could fill the vacuum left by Fuzhen Guan.
But in the end, Fuzhen Guan turned to Chang 'an earlier than them.
The Abbey Dean even cultivated the body of a Perfected Person, the ninth realm of Taoism, and was one of the deputy directors of the Tang Empire.
Fuzhen Guan was more stable in Qingyue County than before.
Now seeing the Elder of Fuzhen Guan, Tang Chi, the people of Bifeng Sect suddenly trembled and were scared out of their wits.
"Taoist priest …" The leader just opened his mouth to explain, but he was interrupted by Tang Chi.
Tang Chi waved his hand casually, and a cloud fell down and then covered the people of Bifeng Sect.
The people of the caravan were not affected.
"In three days, in the capital of Kunling, these people will be punished. You can send someone to watch the ceremony."
In the air, Tang Chi looked down at the caravan below, "Bifeng Sect will also be punished. You don't have to worry about revenge."
Hearing this, the people hurriedly bowed to Tang Chi, "Thank you for upholding justice."
"I am also a member of Chang 'an, and I daily patrol around Fuzhen Guan. Under the rule of Chang' an, everyone has justice."
After saying this, Tang Chi flew away on the cloud.
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched this scene with interest.
His gaze followed Tang Chi back to the Fuzhen Guan.
After the old Daoist landed on the ground, he handed the Blue Peak Sect's martial artists over to his disciples. After explaining the situation, he went to see Elder Yun Chen.
Ever since Zhenren Zhi Chen had become the Deputy Chief of the Tang Empire, he had spent most of his energy on the old Tang Empire, on Chang 'an.
The daily affairs of his Fuzhen Guan were mainly entrusted to Elder Yun Chen.
The Daoist Canon of Fuzhen Guan had reached a new level, and the whole of Fuzhen Guan had benefited from it.
Apart from the increase in Zhenren Zhi Chen's cultivation level, Elder Yun Chen had also formed his Dharma idol, breaking through from the seventh level to the eighth level.
In addition to dealing with the daily affairs of the sect, Elder Yun Chen's other main task now was to train the next generation of Fuzhen Guan's successors.
After Tang Chi saw him, he reported what had happened earlier.
After Elder Yun Chen heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "You did the right thing. We will not allow something like this to happen in Chang 'an."
Tang Chi asked, "How should we deal with the Blue Peak Sect?"
Elder Yun Chen said, "Chang 'an has always been magnanimous, and we should follow their example. Although we cannot implicate them, we have to keep an eye on the Blue Peak Sect. If they do not know what's good for them and resent us, then we should not show them any mercy."
Tang Chi bowed and said, "I understand."
Elder Yun Chen continued, "The disciples of the sect, including the external forces, must be alert at all times. We must not allow something like this to happen again."
Tang Chi nodded and said, "I understand. I will warn everyone not to be careless, and to be careful with their words and actions."
Elder Yun Chen nodded slightly and asked, "How is Xie Zhao?"
"He has followed Master Blood Shadow back to the City in the Sky."
Tang Chi replied, "Two months ago, he successfully formed an external Aurous Core and reached the sixth level. You were in seclusion, so I did not have time to tell you the good news."
Elder Yun Chen nodded and said, "That's for the best."
He looked at Tang Chi, who looked as old as him, and said with some emotion, "Mr Dark Cloud's guidance, and our sect's integration of the Green Cloud Temple's teachings, has allowed our sect's Daoist scriptures to improve greatly. Everyone has benefited from this. Tang Chi, you still have time. Put more effort into your cultivation."
Other than Zhenren Zhi Chen who had reached the ninth level, Xie Zhao who had reached the sixth level, and Elder Yun Chen who had reached the eighth level, the other disciples of Fuzhen Guan had also improved in their cultivation.
That was why they were able to secure their position as the top Daoist sect in the Land of Tang.
Not only did they surpass the Xuan Yi Sect, but they also overshadowed the Chu's Jade Bull Palace, Zhou's Yunxin Temple, Jin's Forest Mountain Temple and other places.
The Eastern Daoist sects today were led by Fuzhen Guan and the Chen's Fulu Palace.
In the past, they could not even look up to the Fulu Palace.
"I will do my best."
Tang Chi sighed, "It's a pity that my talent is mediocre, and I'm old now. Perhaps I have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime. I only hope that I can contribute to the sect as much as possible."
"You have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage if you lose your desire to improve."
Elder Yun Chen said, "Don't be discouraged and lose your drive. I'm already so old, and I can still improve. You should also correct your attitude."
"I know my mistake, and I will follow your teachings." Tang Chi said.
Elder Yun Chen nodded lightly, and then his snow-white brows furrowed slightly.
"Blood Shadow … Mister, let's not talk about his cultivation for now. After all, he cultivates the Demonic Path, and it won't benefit Xie Zhao."
The old Daoist sighed.
Tang Chi said, "As long as we can enter the City in the Sky, there's no harm in it. The spiritual energy there is far more abundant than other places in Chang 'an, and it's good for cultivation.
Xie Zhao also sent a message back saying that Mister Blood Shadow has been cultivating in seclusion recently, so he can ask Mr Dark Cloud for help. Mr Dark Cloud did not refuse. "
Elder Yun Chen nodded. "That's for the best."
Tang Chi added, "But the Abbey Dean may miss the opportunity to enter the City in the Sky because he became the Deputy Director of the Tang Empire."
News had already spread out in Chang 'an that with the unification of the Eastern Border, some people might be rewarded and enter the City in the Sky as the second batch of people.
Naturally, this was a great honor.
Unlike Xie Zhao, Hui Tianyu, Wu Qiong, and the others who entered the city as servants, the second batch of people could not only live and cultivate in the City in the Sky, which was full of spiritual energy, but also symbolize their status.
It symbolized that they were closer to the City Lord of Chang 'an.
However, because the Governors of the various places were permanently stationed, it meant that they automatically gave up the opportunity to enter the City in the Sky.
This was also the price of gaining local power and ruling a part of the world. It could be said that there were gains and losses.
As the Deputy Director of the Tang Empire, Daoist Zhichen was naturally beneficial to the development of the Fuzhen Guan in the former Tang Empire.
On the other hand, unlike others, he could not stay in the center of Chang 'an for a long time.
"As long as there are no major accidents, the Governors of the various places will have the opportunity to enter the City in the Sky in the future."
Elder Yun Chen said, "If they are not dismissed because of their crimes, they may be put in an important position and give up the position of Governor or Deputy Director."
Tang Chi nodded. "If the Abbey Dean can enter the City in the Sky, according to the rules, he should be able to bring ten of his fellow disciples with him."
If they were servants of the Abbey Dean, they would not be real servants.
This was also part of the reward for meritorious officials. Everyone was well aware of this.
"In short, we have to do a good job."
Elder Yun Chen said, "The Chang 'an always keeps his word and rewards those who make contributions. This has been proven by countless examples. So now, it's time for us to prove ourselves to the Chang' an."
Tang Chi lowered his head. "Yes."
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun's gaze crossed thousands of rivers and mountains. He quietly watched this scene with a smile on his face.
Since Fuzhen Guan knew his place, it was naturally for the best.
As for the so-called Bifeng Sect, he would leave it to Fuzhen Guan to deal with it.
Zhang Dongyun naturally wouldn't stop him from publicizing the punishment as an example to others.
His gaze left Qingyue County and scanned the other places in the Invincible City.
Then, as he looked, Zhang Dongyun's gaze became slightly focused again.
His gaze fell on the northeastern part of the Invincible City's territory.
That was where part of the former Land of Qi was located.
It was not so cold now, but there was still a large amount of snow at a certain height in the mountains.
At this moment, there was a great battle going on in the snowy mountains.
Two sword lights flashed back and forth, constantly crossing each other.
They were clearly from the same school of swordsmanship.
However, this was not the time for the brothers to exchange blows, but a life and death battle.
It was not a clean slate. Deep in their hearts, both sides did not want to fight to the death with each other.
Unfortunately, people of different paths could not work together. Not only did they have to go their separate ways, but they also had to fight to the death.
Lingxiao school's Elder, Ren Yichao, was expressionless, but his emotions were unprecedentedly complicated.
His sword followed his heart, and it was difficult for him to unleash his swordsmanship to its fullest. For a moment, he was actually suppressed by his opponent.
His opponent was another Sixth Realm Elder from Lingxiao school.
The other party did not show any mercy. His sword was fierce and ferocious, as if he wanted to stab Ren Yichao to death on the snowy mountains.
At this moment of life and death, Ren Yichao resisted with all his might.
However, the other party's sword suddenly lost its strength.
Ren Yichao saw that his sword was about to cut the other party's neck and hurriedly moved his sword to the side.
Blood splattered, and a wound appeared on the other party's shoulder.
He shook his head repeatedly. "Junior Brother Ren, do you want me to take one more blow before I die?"
"Senior Brother Chu, I …" Ren Yichao's lips were dry.
He said to Fang Yan, "Everyone made different choices. I don't blame you, nor do I blame the others who have sided with Chang 'an. Since I must die, I might as well die in your hands and let you make contributions so that Chang' an can establish itself."
Ren Yichao was silent.
The other party smiled and shook his head. "I don't want you to feel sad in the future, but since you've already come this far, you might as well harden your heart. Otherwise, how will you lead our school and establish itself in Chang 'an?"
Ren Yichao was silent for a moment before he threw his sword to the ground. "Senior Brother Chu, leave. Don't stay in Dongjiang any longer. Go out to sea."
"If I leave now, where can I go?"
The man sighed. "Since you have so much confidence in Chang 'an, then this city will definitely continue to expand in the future. Eastern Tang is not the end, and neither is Dongjiang."
"Senior Brother, come back to Chang 'an with me!" Ren Yichao could not help but say again.
"Don't even think about it. I'm not loyal to anyone other than my master, and I won't listen to anyone else's orders."
The other party said decisively, "If I surrender to Chang 'an now, why didn't I surrender to the Li family of Eastern Tang earlier?"
Ren Yichao was speechless.
"I'm comforted that you care about old ties, but I'm really worried that with your overcautious attitude, even if our school enters Chang 'an, can it last long?"
The other party shook his head. "Killing yourself is really a disgrace to martial artists!"
After saying that, he turned the sword in his hand around and placed it across his neck.
Blood splattered, and he instantly fell to the ground.
Ren Yichao stood silently in the snow, as if he had turned into a motionless ice sculpture.
