The Golden-Winged Great Roc was unable to move. With Ao Kong grabbing its neck, its eyes rolled back and it fainted.
Ao Kong sneered and dispersed the Dual Heaven Devil Prison. Then, he grabbed the Golden-Winged Great Roc and returned to the eastern border.
As he neared the coast of the Eastern Border, he removed his ape-dragon form and returned to the pure appearance of the Illusion Heavenly Dragon.
Seeing this, Zhuo Zui and the others who were near the island immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were secretly shocked.
Isn't Mr. Long a little too strong?
Even the giant roc was captured alive by him.
Huan Tianlong grabbed the Golden-winged Great Roc with one of its front claws, and released the other claw, revealing a ball of thick ink.
The thick ink dispersed, revealing Qi Mo's appearance.
Qi Mo had just lost his perception of the outside world. When he saw Huan Tianlong, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he hurriedly expressed his thanks, "Thank you for saving me, Mister Long."
"Why did this bird capture you?" Huan Tianlong asked.
Qi Mo was at a loss. "I don't know either …"
Huan Tianlong saw that she didn't seem to be lying, and that she really didn't know anything, so he didn't ask anymore, "Continue what you were doing before."
With that, he grabbed the Golden-winged Great Roc and flew away.
Zhuo Zui, Li Jie and the others looked at each other, strange expressions on their faces.
They had indeed crushed Yang Ting, Zhang Bining, and the others without any suspense, capturing and killing them.
However, the sudden arrival of the Golden-winged Great Roc disrupted everything.
Devouring Yang Ting's flesh and blood, sweeping in all directions, and capturing Qi Mo. It was completely like a natural disaster, making it hard for people to resist.
But in the blink of an eye, the previously incomparably arrogant golden-winged roc was captured alive.
Chang 'an was indeed unfathomable.
Even if there were sudden chaos, they would be able to set things right in time.
This caused Li Jie, Zhuo Zui, and the others to inwardly sigh in admiration.
As long as they could do their job well, there was nothing to worry about.
A strong sense of confidence surged in everyone's hearts.
"Escort the prisoners. Let's go back."
Zhuo Zui was the first to speak.
Just now, when the Great Peng attacked, the situation became chaotic.
However, they did not fail to live up to Chang 'an's trust. They managed to hold their ground in time and did not allow the people of Western Zhou and Western Chu to escape.
Purple City Mountain's Headmaster, Zhang Bining, was killed on the spot.
Meanwhile, the other Ninth Realm expert, Jia Zhang, was captured alive.
The rest were either captured or killed. Very few managed to slip through the net.
Encountering the Giant Peng Bird was a force that far exceeded their level of strength, making it hard for them to resist.
But without the roc, Li Jie, Zhuo Zui, and the others were able to keep their minds calm and not be affected by anything unexpected. They continued to focus on completing their tasks.
In the Daming Palace in Chang 'an, Zhang Dongyun nodded approvingly.
Master Zhang was very satisfied with the performance of Li Jie, Zhuo Zui and the others this time.
He was also very satisfied with the system's harvest.
Although Yang Ting had been eaten by the Golden-winged Great Roc, he had been captured by Zhuo Zui and Li Jie before he died.
With the addition of Zhang Bining and Jia Zhang, Chang 'an had successfully completed a defense mission.
[Random Defense Mission 8.4 — Capture or kill Purple City Mountain's Headmaster, Zhang Bining, Xuanhe Academy's Great Scholar, Jia Zhang, and Yang Clan's Patriarch, Yang Ting, who are enemies of Chang 'an.]
[The City Lord's subordinates have killed Zhang Bining, Jia Zhang, and Yang Ting, who are enemies of Chang 'an. Random Defense Mission 8.4 has been completed. Obtained 3,000 experience points to upgrade.]
Although he had immediately spent 3,000 experience points to temporarily raise Ao Kong to the Eleventh Realm, Ao Kong had immediately earned back those 3,000 experience points after taking down the Giant Peng Bird.
Compared to the Ninth Realm cultivators, the increase in reward points for enemies of the Tenth and Eleventh Realms was very gratifying.
Take this Giant Peng Bird as an example.
The First Realm Demon Emperor, which was the Tenth Realm of the Demon Clan's cultivation, the Golden Peng Bird, was worth 2,000 experience points.
The Second Realm Demon Emperor, which was the Eleventh Realm of the Demon Clan's cultivation, the Golden Peng Bird, was worth 3,000 experience points.
Of course, correspondingly, temporarily raising Ao Kong, who was in the Tenth Realm, to the Eleventh Realm also required 3,000 experience points.
However, raising Ao Kong, Shen Herong, Chu Yaoguang, and the others could be said to be a sure win.
They could basically guarantee that they could crush opponents of the same realm.
In the same realm, those who could contend with them were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Most people could already burn incense and worship their ancestors if they could escape from them.
Just like this time, although raising Ao Kong cost 3,000 experience points, Ao Kong would earn them back steadily. At least, he would not suffer a loss.
Zhang Dongyun calculated for a moment. He currently had a total of 21,600 experience points.
After deducting the 14,000 points that were necessary for the next upgrade and expansion, he still had 7,600 points available.
Of course, the more of such things, the better.
Zhang Dongyun was gradually coming to a realization.
The first time he fused with the fragment of the Immortals, he activated the new function of the Defender mission, which made it much easier for him to earn experience points.
The second time he fused with the fragment of the Immortals, he activated the upgrade function of the Defender, which made the surplus experience points useful.
What if he fused with the fragment of the Immortals a third time in the future?
Would he activate other new functions that would also cost experience points?
At that time, the experience points he had now might not be so abundant.
I should still accumulate more experience points … Zhang Dongyun thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking, Ao Kong returned with the Golden-Winged Roc.
"Eighth Sister's little sister does seem to have a background."
Ao Kong walked into the hall and said, "But the little girl herself doesn't seem to know."
Zhang Dongyun sat high on the throne. "Give the Golden Peng Bird to Dark Cloud and let him slowly interrogate it."
"Okay." Ao Kong nodded.
He gently tapped his forehead with his finger. "Boss, is this what you did with the fragment of the Immortals?"
Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "Yes, I fused a few fragments into one. In the future, we'll see what tricks the Immortals have up their sleeves."
After these days of research and comparing it with the memories left by the Evil Emperor, Zhang Dongyun was now 80% sure that the Immortals didn't shatter because of the internal battle.
Instead, the Immortals collapsed internally.
If not for that, the power of the battle at that time wouldn't have been enough to break it apart.
But if that was the case, there was a problem.
Why did the Immortals have such a change back then?
Ying Xiao, my fragment of the Immortals originally belonged to Ao Kong.
After it was taken back by Zhang Dongyun, Ao Kong himself didn't have the intention to ask for it.
Now that he heard this, he didn't care that his boss occupied all the fragments.
However, there was something else that he was very concerned about. "Although without your help, boss, the thief bird might have escaped, let's still get rid of this, shall we?"
Ao Kong frowned and tapped his forehead with his finger. "It's weird. Boss, do you still not trust me even now?"
"If you doubt someone, don't use him. If you use him, don't doubt him."
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently, "I've given this seal to the people I value. I didn't give it to the others because I doubted their loyalty, but because I didn't trust their ability."
Ao Kong raised his eyebrows. "I'm indeed reincarnated now, but in a few years, I can gradually recover my old appearance."
Zhang Dongyun said, "You're naturally different from the others."
Ao Kong raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled.
Zhang Dongyun was silent for a moment. Slowly, he said, "I don't want to relive what happened 30 years ago, whether it's being betrayed by a traitor or being separated from you."
Ao Kong was even more surprised when he heard this.
But after coming back to his senses, he sighed. "Am I not the same? Forget it, forget it. Do as you wish. "
Ao Kong waved his hand and left the hall. He went to the Sky City and handed the Golden-Winged Great Roc to Mr. Dark Cloud.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Dark Cloud to take the captive and interrogate her.
This Golden-Winged Great Roc actually had limited knowledge about Qi Mo, so he wanted to capture her and take her back to slowly study and interrogate her.
The Great Roc had only seen the calligraphy left behind by someone elsewhere in the past, and felt that the aura contained in it was similar to Qi Mo's.
From this point of view, the owner of the calligraphy that the Great Roc saw was very likely to be the person who enlightened the ink into a spirit.
It was a pleasant surprise that the Great Roc met Qi Mo.
He came here to search for his missing clansman, the Golden-Winged Great Roc that had also been defeated by Ao Kong.
Zhang Dongyun was now seriously considering whether to let this Great Roc spread the news to the rest of his clansmen and lure them here, or to let nature take its course.
While Zhang Dongyun was thinking, Zhuo Zui, Li Jie, and the others returned with the captive.
Of the three Ninth Realm targets, only Jia Zhang was captured alive.
Mr. Dark Cloud, who was projected by Zhang Dongyun, threw him to the mines.
As for the others, they were rewarded according to their contributions.
"Those who sincerely submit will be spared the death penalty."
In the Divine Punishment Palace, Mr. Dark Cloud looked at Tang Ze, one of the Deputy Chiefs of Chu.
"However, those who harbor ill intentions and are capricious cannot be forgiven."
Tang Ze was expressionless, as if he had lost all human emotions, but his tone was serious. "Please rest assured, sir. I will carefully screen them. Those who harbor ill intentions are damaging the credibility of those who sincerely submit. I will not be soft-hearted and will personally eliminate them."
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded slightly. "It's best that you know what to do."
His gaze swept across the other people. "Everyone outside of the Zhou and Chu lands has contributed."
Zhuo Zui and Cao Ranran had calm expressions.
As the Chiefs of Zhou, it was their duty to pacify the enemies on their own land.
However, they had already benefited from Chang 'an.
Zhuo Zui had received guidance from Mr. Dark Cloud and transformed his Desolate Thunder Palm into Nine Heavens Thunder Palm, increasing his strength.
Cao Ranran had also received a calligraphy piece that Mr. He had left behind in Chang 'an. She was immersed in it every day, carefully studying it.
Zhang Dongyun's initial judgment was correct.
Among his subordinates, Zhuo Zui was indeed the closest to breaking through to the Ninth Realm.
About a month later, he really did improve and successfully became a Martial Emperor, reaching the Deer-Chasing Realm.
Li Jie, who also had extraordinary talent and shocking potential, received guidance from Chu Yaoguang and also successfully broke through to the Tenth Realm of Martial Arts.
With two more Martial Emperors under his command, Master Zhang was greatly relieved.
At the same time, news suddenly came from the east.
In the Land of Old Jin, someone had sailed out to sea and found strange traces.
When Zhang Dongyun heard this, he couldn't help but think of Ying Xiaowo.
