Master Kong Ru broke into the mountain and escaped unscathed. He even took away the Acalanatha Vajra Prayer Beads.
When the news spread, the entire Middle Earth was shaken.
The Sacred Evolution Manor and the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain were especially affected.
Master Kong Ru came from the Zhongyue Temple, so he showed some mercy and didn't hurt or kill anyone.
However, it was a different story for the Sacred Evolution Manor of the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain.
His action was to tell the world that monks would protect their disciples. They shouldn't bully the weak and kidnap their disciples.
However, the Sacred Evolution Manor and the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain were also angry.
Together with the Zhongyue Temple, the three sects had lost three 12th realm successors.
Although their vitality wasn't greatly damaged, it was at least a serious injury.
Of course, the Zhongyue Temple was the first to feel the pain.
Hui Jue was the most outstanding disciple of this generation in the Zhongyue Temple. He was young and had outstanding cultivation strength, and he had potential to be unearthed.
Although the Zhongyue Temple didn't say it explicitly, he was basically the next abbot.
Now that he was killed in Chang 'an, his fate unknown, it was enough for the Zhongyue Temple to vomit blood.
Moreover, they lost the Acalanatha Vajra Prayer Beads and lost blood again.
The Zhongyue Temple's misfortune could only be consoled by the Sacred Evolution Manor of the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain, but they were also furious.
"Who is he scaring?"
On the main peak of the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain, an old man was furious.
The Southern Sect Master Han Feiyu was calm. "Calm down."
Everyone calmed down.
Only the old man was still furious. "We can put aside Kong Ru's matter, but we can't just let Chaowen and Chang 'an go!"
"The priority is not the east, but the north."
Han Feiyu shook his head. "I misjudged. I hoped to obtain the secret of the scabbard from Chang 'an, but now it seems that we have to put the east aside and focus on the north. We can't make new enemies in a short time."
Including the old man, the higher-ups of the Southern Sect of Shu Mountain sighed helplessly.
"The Sword Qi of the Northern Peak has dissipated, and the Sword Demon is missing."
Someone said, "It's a pity that the Heavenly Treasure Sword was destroyed by him. We don't have enough confidence to attack now."
The Sword Qi of the Southern Peak was still there, so they weren't worried about the Northern Sect's counterattack.
But now, they were in a situation where they had more than enough to defend, but not enough to go in. This gave everyone a headache.
Han Feiyu said, "Although we should focus all our efforts on the north, we can't be rash."
He instructed everyone, "Keep an eye on the movements in the north. They will definitely put in effort to find the Sword Demon. At that time, we might have a chance."
"Yes, Sect Master." Everyone from the South Sect answered in unison.
…
It was a different scene in the Saint Evolution Mansion.
"With Eldest Uncle holding the fort, Kongru wouldn't have the guts to come here and act impudently," a middle-aged scholar said with a faint smile.
Beside him, his wife gently shook her head. "Abbot Kong Yuan, together with the Buddhist prohibitions in the Zhongyue Temple, as well as several magic treasures in the temple, still failed to keep Kongru. Instead, he lost the Acalanatha Vajra Prayer Beads. It seems that Kongru has made great progress over the years."
The smile on the man's face disappeared. "Actually, Kongru is not the key. The key is still Chang 'an City."
He took a deep breath, "Or rather, the Twelve Yama-Kings of Hell!"
The woman nodded slightly. "Judging from the current news, there are at least two or three of them. However, most of their strength and realm don't seem to have recovered to their heyday."
The man said in a deep voice, "As long as one of them has recovered to their heyday, Eldest Uncle will have to take action personally."
The woman said, "It's a pity that there is still too little news about Chang 'an. We are all like looking at flowers in the fog. The city of Chang' an seems to be quite strict about blocking the news in this regard."
Hearing the meaning of his wife's words, the middle-aged scholar's eyebrows moved slightly. "You mean, the other party is actually guilty? That's why they have to keep the news strictly and pretend to be mysterious. "
The woman pondered and said, "To be honest, I don't dare to make any guarantees. It's also possible that Chang 'an is a fake and a fake."
The middle-aged scholar nodded slightly.
After a short while, he suddenly asked, "Have you heard the news from Shu Mountain in the southwest?"
"You mean that the Sword Demon Su Po hid in the North Peak of Shu Mountain and reappeared in the world?"
"That's right."
"Think about it carefully. Although it's a bit unexpected, it's not impossible."
Hearing this, the middle-aged scholar raised his eyebrows slightly. "Oh?"
The woman nodded. "I've dealt with the leader of Shu Mountain's North Sect, Gu Pu, who was also the former leader of Shu Mountain. At that time, Shu Mountain had not yet split.
This person is like his name. In his mind, he probably doesn't hold a grudge against the Sword Demon for severely injuring him and causing Shu Mountain to split.
This person is obsessed with the way of the sword. To him, the Sword Demon is a good opponent that he dreams of.
I don't know if they will appreciate each other, but Gu Pu took in the hidden Sword Demon in the North Peak of Shu Mountain and studied the way of the sword with him. This kind of thing is something he would do. "
The middle-aged scholar said, "The news I heard was that Han Feiyu of the South Sect secretly learned the Sword Demon's swordsmanship. Instead, he guarded the demon himself, Gu Pu, and focused on studying Shu Mountain's swordsmanship."
"That's normal. He must want to get up from where he fell." The woman said.
Slowly, the middle-aged scholar nodded.
"We can't ignore Lu Xian's matter." The woman sighed. "Your sister comes here every day to cry and complain."
The middle-aged scholar also felt helpless.
Lu Xian was his brother-in-law, and they were very close.
This time, Lu Xian represented the Sacred Evolution Mansion, but he didn't return. Naturally, the Sacred Evolution Mansion was in chaos, not just his wife.
"It's useless to be anxious. This time, the enemy is extraordinary."
The middle-aged scholar said, "However, there must be more people from the Zhao Family Dynasty."
The woman understood. "Zhao Shuo should have made a decision now."
…
Magnificent Emperor Zhao Shuo was indeed very irritated now.
However, he also knew that he needed to make a decision.
Chang 'an City was outside of the Tai Qing Palace, the Spiritual Light Temple, the Nine Peaks Academy, and the Sacred Evolution Mansion.
Now, undercurrents were surging in Heartland, and it was gradually forming a powerful alliance against Chang 'an City.
However, no one cared about the Nine Peaks Academy.
It was the same for the Sacred Evolution Mansion.
In all these years of fighting with the Nine Peaks Academy, they had never lost a successor of the Twelfth Realm.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Zhao Family Dynasty to use Chang 'an City to target the Nine Peaks Academy.
It would be better for the Nine Peaks Academy to join forces with others to target Chang 'an City.
Unfortunately, both the Nine Peaks Academy and Chang 'an City's bases in Heartland were in the Zhao Family Dynasty.
The upcoming battle would probably involve a lot of people.
Zhao Shuo sighed and called for his servant. "Pass my order. Send a letter to the Nine Peaks Academy."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant immediately obeyed and left.
Undercurrents were surging in Heartland.
Master Zhang, who was far away in the Daming Palace in Chang 'an City, was happy to see this happen.
His main focus now, besides cultivating, was on how to complete the construction mission.
Subduing a dynasty … Zhang Dongyun flipped through the related matters of Heartland that Shen Herong, Huijing, Huiming, Kong Yuan, Li Yeyu, and Perfected Yun Luo talked about and chose a suitable target.
At present, it seemed that Magnificent Emperor Zhao Shuo was not someone who would easily bow down.
There was little hope that he would lead the Zhao Family Dynasty to surrender like the Southern Chen Dynasty.
What about the other five dynasties?
Zhang Dongyun continued to choose. As he read, he suddenly froze.
When he came back to his senses, he quickly combed through the memories left by the Evil Emperor. "… Is it that person?"
Zhang Dongyun rubbed between his eyebrows. "If it's him, it'll be easy. But more than 30 years have passed. Who knows if people have changed?"
He put down his hand. "But it's worth paying attention to."
A certain City Lord surnamed Zhang was making his own plans when he suddenly received an urgent report from Heartland.
Someone who wanted to overthrow the Zhao Family Dynasty secretly contacted Chang 'an, hoping to see the City Lord of Chang' an.
When Zhang Dongyun heard the news, he smiled faintly and allowed the person to come to Chang 'an.
The person first met Mr. Dark Cloud in the Tianshu Hall in Chang 'an.
"Please introduce me." The person seemed to know the rules and asked for Mr. Dark Cloud's help.
Mr. Dark Cloud looked calm as he sized up the newcomer.
The person looked to be in his thirties, but his real age should be more than that.
The person was tall and strong. His eyes were resolute and heroic, but there was a hint of hardship.
As he stood there, he vaguely looked like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiling.
"Are you a descendant of the Long Family?" Mr. Dark Cloud asked calmly.
"I'm Long Te." The tall man clasped his hands.
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly.
Through the Evil Emperor's memories, he knew something about this.
It was not surprising that the Long Family wanted to overthrow the Zhao Family.
The history of the Great Jing Dynasty was short, only 30 to 40 years.
But its predecessor, the Great Jing Dynasty, had a longer history.
But if one looked back, the Great Jing Dynasty also had a beginning.
Its beginning was quite legendary. The Zhao Family of the Great Jing Dynasty gained the eastern part of Heartland by abdicating to the previous dynasty.
But the dynasty that was abdicated to an important minister was more tragic.
The so-called abdication was, of course, not voluntary.
And the emperor of the previous dynasty was surnamed Long.
He was the ancestor of Long Te in front of Mr. Dark Cloud.
After that, when the Zhao Family sat in the eastern part of Heartland, the Long Family appeared and disappeared, like a shadow in the dark.
After the Zhao Family's initial abdication, they gradually revealed their fangs, and the Long Family suffered heavy casualties.
And some of the descendants of the Long Family began to work harder and harder to restore the dynasty.
They could not be cut off all this time because of the secret support of the other dynasties.
The Zhao Family Dynasty knew about this, and they had done similar things many times. Everyone had a tacit understanding.
In recent years, the descendants of the Long Family had become more and more unpopular in the Zhao Family Dynasty, causing the Zhao Family to constantly exterminate them.
"You're the current master of the Long Family?" Mr. Dark Cloud looked at him and asked.
Long Te nodded. "I'm ashamed."
Mr. Dark Cloud asked, "The Long Family has its own family martial arts that can help you become a Martial Emperor."
Long Te was silent for a moment, then answered, "Our family is thin at the moment. In order to lead the family to fight against the Zhao Family, only the capable can be the master.
My martial arts talent is limited, but I have some experience in the cultivation of the demonic path. In order to improve my strength, I can only take this path. "
