Shen Herong quickly returned to the Grand Ming Palace.
"Big Brother?" She looked at Zhang Dongyun.
"It's Seventh Brother's sword." Slowly, Zhang Dongyun nodded.
The sword in his hand looked ordinary, but in fact, its sword qi could topple mountains and overturn seas.
It was the Celestial Item Sword that accompanied Sword Demon Su Po in the past.
Shen Herong took a deep breath. "Seventh Brother's sword actually fell in the Tai Qing Palace …"
"It's not surprising."
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently. "Master Peng of the Tai Qing Palace is powerful, and he sits on the mountain guarding the Tai Qing Palace. It's not surprising that Seventh Brother couldn't take it down alone."
"Big Brother means that after the incident in the Immortals, Seventh Brother went to the Tai Qing Palace alone?" Shen Herong's swollen eyes flashed.
In the Immortals, in addition to Ying Xiaowo, Yang Li, and other traitors, Shen Herong, Ao Kong, and others were also attacked by foreign enemies.
Among them, was the Tai Qing Palace, which had always been low-key!
It was also after the Twelve Kings of Hell destroyed the Pure Yang Palace and the incident in the Immortals that the Tai Qing Palace became high-profile and dominated the Taoist sects of the Central Plains.
If Su Po came to the Tai Qing Palace after that, did it mean that he went to avenge his sworn brother and sister?
"Soon, we will know the whole story." Zhang Dongyun said.
Shen Herong nodded and sat down in the hall.
After a while, Mr. Dark Cloud walked into the hall. "Your Majesty, Miss Twelve."
"What did you find?" Zhang Dongyun asked.
"Your Majesty, the Celestial Item Sword was indeed lost when its original owner attacked the Tai Qing Palace. It was suppressed and sealed by the Tai Qing Palace's leader, Peng Ziling."
Mr. Dark Cloud replied. "It happened thirty years ago. Although the other party left the Celestial Item Sword behind, Peng Ziling was also seriously injured because of this battle. It took him more than twenty years to recover."
Slowly, Zhang Dongyun nodded.
Speaking of which, it had been almost two years since he had transmigrated to this world.
It had been nearly 32 years since the incident in the Immortals.
As for Su Po, it was about thirty years ago when he entered the Tai Qing Palace, two years after the incident in the Immortals.
But before that, he had already severely injured Chu Yaoguang …
As Shen Herong listened, he frowned slightly. "Did he tell you the result of this battle? Where did Seventh Brother go?"
Mr. Dark Cloud shook his head. "This person doesn't know the details either. He only said that Peng Ziling, the leader of the Tai Qing Palace, defeated them."
Hearing this, Shen Herong fell silent.
Zhang Dongyun asked, "Do you think it's not Seventh Brother's style?"
"Yeah …"
Shen Herong nodded slightly and replied while thinking, "When Seventh Brother makes a move, he always fights to the death. Of course, I don't want him to fight to the death. But according to Seventh Brother's usual style, no matter what his purpose is, it's really unusual for him to retreat after encountering a setback after coming to Tai Qing Palace."
Zhang Dongyun said, "The truth will be revealed when we find him."
He looked at Mr. Dark Cloud. "Is there anything else useful?"
Mr. Dark Cloud replied respectfully, "Just like what the people of the Nine Peaks Academy said last time, the Tai Qing Palace is still fighting with the Zhengyi Sect. Since the Hierarch Peng Ziling is personally involved, the Tai Qing Palace has the upper hand.
Shen Herong's eyes lit up. "Peng Ziling is not at the gate of Tai Qing Palace?"
She turned to look at Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun felt his scalp tingle.
Needless to say, he knew what this Twelfth Sister was thinking.
Shen Herong, Ao Kong, and Chu Yaoguang were all present. Due to their own reasons, none of them had regained their peak cultivation in the past.
But Big Brother had no problem.
Previously, I still had to consider the emptiness of Chang 'an and the time-consuming problem of attacking the Tai Qing Palace. But now that the Tai Qing Palace's Cult Leader, Peng Ziling, is not here, Big Brother only needs to make a simple round trip, and Ying Xiao in the Tai Qing Palace will be easily captured.
Zhang Dongyun smiled bitterly in his heart.
Before Invincible City covered the Central Region, with his current strength, he could go to other places in the Central Region, but going to Tai Qing Palace would be a suicide mission.
Since the incident in the Immortals, most masters in the Central Region, including the Twelve Kings of Hell, had withered.
Peng Ziling, the Tai Qing Palace's Leader, was one of the few top masters in the Central Region.
Otherwise, Tai Qing Palace would not be able to suppress the Zhengyi Sect.
But then again, if Su Po had not come and caused Peng Ziling to recuperate for many years, Tai Qing Palace would have gone to war with the Zhengyi Sect.
While Zhang Dongyun's thoughts were running wild, his expression did not change.
Mr. Dark Cloud said, "Twelfth Miss, although Peng Ziling is not in Tai Qing Palace now, according to Daoist Yun Luo, Ying Xiao also has plans to leave the palace after I gave him the Heavenly Sword. He might not be in Tai Qing Palace now."
Shen Herong lost interest when he heard this. "I see."
The person she cared about most was Ying Xiao, who had also betrayed everyone.
She was not so anxious about the Tai Qing Palace that had attacked them in the Immortals.
Or rather, compared to Zhang Dongyun going alone, she was more willing to go with everyone after she recovered her strength.
"Just tell Eighth Sister to be careful," Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
This was the truth. He was not lying to Shen Herong.
The result of Daoist Yun Luo's visit was indeed such news.
As for whether Ying Xiao told Yun Luo the truth, it was hard to tell at the moment.
However, Master Zhang was happy to see this happen. He did not have to think about whether he should go to Tai Qing Palace or not.
Shen Herong thought for a while, then said, "Big Brother, why don't I go to the Central Plains again and look for Seventh Brother Ying Xiao with Eighth Sister?"
"Okay."
Zhang Dongyun flicked the blade of the sword in his hand. "But we'll leave a few days later. Take this with you when you leave."
Shen Herong nodded. "Okay."
Watching the other's departing figure, Zhang Dongyun's finger once again slid over the blade.
What Su Po's situation was was not important to him at the moment.
As long as he could get him into Invincible City, it would be clear whether he was loyal or a traitor.
When the time came, it would be up to him to decide how to deal with him.
The most important thing now was to find his whereabouts and find a way to bring him back to the city.
Fortunately, just like Yang Li back then, Su Po also left behind something related to his name.
If I want to find him, I might have to look for this sword … Zhang Dongyun looked at the Heavenly Item Sword in front of him and thought to himself.
Daoist Yun Luo and Tong Kai had given him a big gift when they visited this time.
Of course, this was not the only gift from these two brothers.
[Random Guardian Mission 8.3: Kill or capture Tai Qing Palace Elder Daoist Yun Luo and Azure Dragon Sect Elder Tong Kai who have entered the city.]
[The City Lord has captured Daoist Yun Luo who has entered the city and killed Tong Kai. Random Guardian Mission 8.3 completed. Obtained 7,000 experience points to level up.]
Triggering a guardian mission was much more difficult than a defense mission.
However, completing the mission did not require leveling up the people in the city, nor did it require spending the original guardian points.
The reward of 7,000 points was a complete gain.
Zhang Dongyun was deeply gratified by this.
In addition to the new 7,000 experience points, he had accumulated a total of 30,600 Guardian Experience Points.
Compared to the 14,000 points needed to level up, it was more than twice as much.
Slowly, Zhang Dongyun exhaled and began to ponder about the construction mission.
Gaining a foothold in the Central Plains did not mean that it could be achieved by killing alone. At the same time, it also required construction.
Just like in the Eastern Border … Zhang Dongyun thought to himself.
…
While Master Zhang was thinking about the Central Plains, there were many people in the Central Plains who were also thinking about him.
Thousands of miles away from the Tai Qing Palace, between a green mountain and clear water, a young Daoist in white clothes was standing in front of a waterfall.
The waterfall in front of him presented a scene.
The white-browed Daoist seemed to be facing him. "The Azure Dragon Sect has sent news. Tong Kai, like Yun Luo, was forcefully taken away from the sect's external body."
"Master, where's the Heavenly Item Sword?" The young Daoist asked.
"Same."
The white-browed Daoist was the clone left behind by the Tai Qing Palace's Sect Master, Peng Ziling. "My connection with this sword was instantly cut off."
"Logically speaking, except for Su Po himself, no one else should have this ability."
The young Daoist pondered. "Could it be that he's also in Chang 'an now?"
"With Su Po's temperament, even if he's in Chang 'an, the situation in Chang' an should be under someone else's control," Peng Ziling said.
The young Daoist seemed to be thinking. "The people in Chang 'an do things steadily and surely, neither too fast nor too slow. Chu Yaoguang and Shen Herong are both here, but they can't suppress Su Po and Ao Kong."
"So it's only Ye and Li left?" Peng Ziling asked.
The young Daoist nodded. "It's still not certain. Speaking of which, I still have doubts about whether Su Po is in Chang 'an or not."
"Let's put the matter of Chang 'an aside for now."
Peng Ziling said, "The matter of the Righteous Sect has reached a critical moment. We can't let it go to waste."
The young Daoist lowered his head. "I'll order people to keep a close eye on Chang 'an."
The old Daoist on the waterfall screen nodded. "Chu Yaoguang didn't find your whereabouts, did he?"
"Thanks to master's help, I could leave without attracting attention."
Slowly, the young Daoist said after a slight pause, "But there's one thing, I don't know if it's just my illusion …"
"Just say it," Peng Ziling said.
The young Daoist said, "I feel that she's a little strange."
Peng Ziling's white eyebrows moved slightly. "You mean she's not on the same side as Ao Kong and Shen Herong?"
"I'm not sure." The young Daoist shook his head. "It's just that I have a strange feeling."
Slowly, Peng Ziling nodded. "Since you said so, it shouldn't be wrong. After I deal with the Righteous Sect, I'll return to the mountain as soon as possible and find a chance to take her down first."
The young Daoist bowed to the waterfall screen. "I wish you success, master."
In the light and shadow on the waterfall screen, the old Daoist nodded slightly. "You're alone outside. Be careful."
"I understand. Don't worry, master."
After the young Daoist bowed, the light and shadow on the waterfall screen disappeared. The waterfall returned to its normal appearance.
He looked at the waterfall and pondered for a moment. Then he turned and left.
