Mr. Luanshan, Lu Xian, was not a member of the Kong Family, but he was also an important figure in the Sacred Evolution Mansion.
He was highly knowledgeable and had married the daughter of the Kong Family. He was an outstanding figure recruited and cultivated by the Sacred Evolution Mansion.
Lu Xian, like the members of the Kong Family, could represent the Sacred Evolution Mansion.
What was his purpose for visiting the Zhao Family Dynasty?
Chu Chaowen pondered as he followed the others to the Fengming City.
Normally, the Sacred Evolution Mansion and the Zhao Family Dynasty would work together to suppress the Nine Peaks Academy.
But at this time, it was not necessarily the case.
The Sacred Evolution Mansion and the Nine Peaks Academy had just stopped fighting. They had a common enemy, Chang 'an.
Of course, the Sacred Evolution Mansion might have secretly cooperated with the Zhao Family Dynasty to continue to target the Nine Peaks Academy.
However, could there be another possibility?
Was it possible that they all came for Chang 'an?
Chu Chaowen couldn't help guessing.
They might have gotten the news that the Southern Sect of Mount Shu also wanted to make trouble for Chang 'an, so they invited him to plan together.
When they arrived at the Fengming City, Chu Chaowen's guess was confirmed.
"Mr. Luanshan," Lu Xian came here to discuss with the Zhao Family Dynasty to suppress the Nine Peaks Academy. But the more urgent thing was to deal with the sudden and aggressive Chang 'an.
Now they were counting on the conflict between Chang 'an and the Nine Peaks Academy, so they were not in a hurry to make a move.
But at least they had to find out the truth inside and outside Chang 'an first.
For most people in the Central Region, the biggest problem facing Chang 'an was that it was too mysterious.
At present, everyone only knew that Chang 'an came from the Eastern Territory, and there were many masters above the Nine Territories.
But who was the City Lord of Chang 'an? Who were the people in Chang' an? What did they want to do in the Nine Territories of the Central Region?
All these were mysteries now.
In the past, if any force in the barren Eastern Territory dared to set foot in the Central Region so arrogantly, the Zhao Family Dynasty, the Sacred Evolution Mansion, or the Southern Sect of Mount Shu would have pushed it into the sea, beaten it all the way back to the Eastern Territory, and then killed it there.
But now all signs showed that Chang 'an was not ordinary.
Thus, everyone became cautious.
Everyone was pondering the situation first, trying to figure out the actual situation of Chang 'an. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy could they decide what to do next.
However, everyone fell into deep thought as to where to start …
Chang 'an City, which was coveted by various forces in the Central Region, was now in full swing.
In addition to the disciples of the Barren Thunder Sect, Mingyuan Academy, and other forces who were the first to go west, more and more people in Chang 'an City volunteered to go to the Central Region.
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand and allowed everything.
Regardless of what the Zhao Family Dynasty really thought, at least on the surface, Chang 'an and the Zhao Family Dynasty were in a honeymoon period.
Other than Jiangdong Road, which had been occupied by Chang 'an as their first base of operations after landing, they gradually began to obtain large amounts of resources from the Zhao Family through trade and commerce.
Some of the rare treasures were transported back to Chang 'an in the Eastern Border by sea.
At this moment, in the Daming Palace, a certain City Lord surnamed Zhang was playing with a plant root that looked like a bamboo joint in his hand.
It looked like a bamboo branch, but it was blood-red. There were streaks of blood on its surface, flashing with strange light, like the blood vessels of an animal.
This treasure was called Bamboo Kylin, which was a special elixir of the Central Region. It had never been seen in the Eastern Border.
If a martial artist refined and swallowed it, he could greatly improve his Qi and blood.
For Zhang Dongyun, it was the elixir that he needed most at the moment.
He was not in a hurry to refine it into elixir or swallow it directly. Instead, he waved his hand.
So, a blood-red bamboo branch fell from the sky, from the Daming Palace, and fell into the medicine field of Chang 'an below.
Under the effect of the Invincible City's system, this bamboo branch immediately regained its vitality and turned into a blood-red bamboo forest.
After the Bamboo Qilins were reproduced in large quantities, City Lord Zhang took his time to casually pick and enjoy them.
He slowly felt that his Qi and blood were further condensed.
Slowly, the door of the Martial Emperor's Pursuit of the World was gradually appearing in front of him and opening.
At this time, someone suddenly asked for an audience.
With Zhang Dongyun's permission, the little monk Hui Ming appeared in the Daming Palace.
"I've been away from my master for a long time. I want to return to the Central Region to visit my master and fellow disciples. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to do so." Hui Ming put his palms together and bowed to Zhang Dongyun.
"Go."
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently.
A young scholar at the side passed a letter to Huiming with a smile. "Pass this letter to your master, Master Kongru."
"Yes," Hui Ming replied and stepped forward to take the letter.
He had heard that Chang 'an was very resourceful.
Although the little monk had never explicitly mentioned his master's origin, he was not very surprised that Chang 'an knew the truth.
After watching Hui Ming's figure leave, Shen Herong, who looked like "Mr. He", smiled. "This little monk does look a little like his master."
Zhang Dongyun also smiled and did not say anything.
There was also related information in the memory left by the Evil Emperor.
Master Kongru was one of the elders of the Leiyin Temple. However, he did not get along well with the Leiyin Temple in the early years, so he left the temple early.
After the Leiyin Temple was destroyed, the scattered monks established the Zhongyue Temple, Lingguang Temple, and Bodhi Temple.
Master Kongru was one of the founders of the Zhongyue Temple.
"Later, it was still the same. Kong Ru did not get along with the Abbot of the Zhongyue Temple, Kong Yuan. In the end, Kong Ru left the temple again."
Shen Herong shook his head gently. "After that, no one knew where he went. But later, I heard that he had a disciple who traveled Jianghu."
Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly.
Shen Herong's reincarnation in his previous life was Shen Qian. Before that, she had been in the Central Region with the rise of the Shen family and the Nine Peaks Academy.
However, that was more than ten years ago.
At that time, Hui Ming was still wearing open-crotch pants.
Kong Ru's disciple should be Hui Ming's Senior Fellow Apprentice.
He once said that in addition to his master Kong Ru, he had two Senior Fellow Apprentices.
"Let him be," Zhang Dongyun said indifferently.
Shen Herong also nodded.
Master Zhang's vision covered the entire area of Invincible City.
At this time, Hui Ming of Chang 'an had not left the area of Invincible City.
"Junior Fellow Apprentice Yongse, do you want to go back to the Central Region with me?"
Hui Ming looked at the younger Yongse and asked.
Yongse shook her head. "I'll stay here to accompany my master. I hope we can go back together one day."
She looked up at Hui Ming and said hesitantly, "Senior Fellow Apprentice, are you coming back?"
Hui Ming laughed. "Of course, I'm just going back to visit my master and Senior Fellow Apprentice. I'll be back soon."
"Oh, then Senior Fellow Apprentice, come back quickly." Yongse said embarrassedly, "Chang 'an is pretty good. It's just that there aren't many Buddhist disciples like us."
"Then we'll meet again." Hui Ming smiled and waved his hand. He said goodbye to Yongse and left the city.
He passed through layers of city walls, crossed the land of the Eastern Border, and came to the coast of the Western Sea of the Eastern Border.
When Hui Ming crossed the sea from the Central Region to the Eastern Border, he was surrounded by danger with his cultivation of the seventh realm.
If it wasn't for the exquisite Buddhist Dharma that he cultivated, he might have died at sea.
Now that the young monk's cultivation had improved, the safety of crossing the sea had greatly increased.
However, he no longer crossed the Desolate Sea alone. Instead, he took the Chang 'an's ship from the Eastern Border to the Central Region.
As Little Monk Hui Ming stood on the deck and looked at the array formation that moved with the ship on the surface of the sea and stopped the storm in the Desolate Sea, he felt extremely emotional.
Even though he had heard about it before, seeing it with his own eyes still shocked him.
Although Hui Ming had followed Master Kong Ru since he was young and often accompanied the lamp and the ancient Buddha, his knowledge was not shallow.
Even the Central Region's Tai Qing Palace and the Righteous Sect, and even the Pure Yang Palace in the past, had never had a Daoist array formation that could move.
Chang 'an was really magical.
To be able to dominate the Eastern Border, it was nothing in the eyes of the people from the Central Region.
However, to be able to surpass the major Holy Lands of the Central Region was a completely different concept.
At this moment, Little Monk Hui Ming had no choice but to continuously recite Buddhist scriptures. Only then was the spiritual altar in his heart clear up once more.
The array not only protected the ship from the terrifying waves, but it also greatly increased the ship's speed.
According to Hui Ming's estimation, this speed was not inferior to the flying of seventh and eighth realm experts. It was not a problem to travel ten thousand miles in a day.
He listened to the conversation of the ship workers. Hui Fang, Chen Yu, and the others were constantly trying and would soon have new results.
At that time, the array would be even more effective than it was now.
When Hui Ming heard this, he couldn't help but be fascinated.
After the ship docked, he disembarked and went to Wanghai City to see Li Jie, Zhuo Zui, and the others who were managing Chang 'an here. Then, he left the Zhao Family Dynasty's Jiangdong Road.
Hui Ming headed north, so he didn't have to travel too far.
His master Kong Ru's place of seclusion was within the Zhao Family Dynasty's territory.
In the secluded mountains, there was an ancient temple that looked ancient but was clean and complete.
A young monk who looked to be in his twenties or thirties was sweeping the floor outside the ancient temple.
He seemed to have sensed something and raised his head.
Soon, Hui Ming's figure appeared on the mountain path.
When Hui Ming saw him, a smile appeared on his face, "Second Senior Apprentice-Brother!"
"Little Junior Apprentice-Brother is back."
The monk also looked happy, "Where did you go on this trip? How was your harvest?"
"It's a long story. Let me talk about it later." Hui Ming rushed out of the temple, "Where are Master and Eldest Senior Apprentice-Brother?"
"Master is receiving guests."
The smile on the monk's face faded a little, "Senior Apprentice-Brother … left."
Hui Ming sharply noticed that the other party seemed to have something he couldn't say.
An ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Judging from what Second Senior Apprentice-Brother meant, Eldest Senior Apprentice-Brother didn't go out to gain experience as usual.
"What happened?" Hui Ming hurriedly asked.
The young monk wanted to say something, but hesitated, "After Master is done with the guests, you go and see Master first. Later, I'll talk to you in detail. In short … it's a long story."
Hui Ming nodded silently.
At this moment, the other party turned to look into the temple.
A similarly young monk walked out from the door.
At the same time, a calm voice came from the temple, "Hui Jing, send the guests off on behalf of Master."
Hui Jing, who was sweeping the floor, put down the broom and put his palms together, "Senior Apprentice-Brother Hui Jue, please."
