What was happening between the Dahe Longmen and the Chen family was soon known to the outside world. The news gradually spread throughout the Eastern Border and the Central Plains.
After the initial hesitation, the various sects of the Eastern Border began to make changes.
The major forces of the Central Plains were also secretly paying attention.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched all of this with interest.
Chen Yu, Ma Kun, and the others gave up on the idea of establishing their own sects. Instead, they let mohist cultivators gradually integrate into the various forces from the bottom. This was a good idea.
Although this caused mohist cultivators to be in a subordinate position in the various sects and clans, it was not without benefits at the beginning.
Not only Chen Yu, but also Ma Kun and the others were not interested in power.
This was actually beneficial to their current development.
As for the future, it would depend on how far they developed.
From the current point of view, their decision was also beneficial to further maintaining the transcendent position of the Hall of Heavenly Works as the central department of Chang 'an City.
Seeing that Chen Yu and the others were gradually getting on the right track, Zhang Dongyun retracted his attention.
The hall he was in seemed to have infinite space. Even if a huge rock was placed in it, it still seemed empty.
Dragon patterns appeared on the surface of the huge rock, as if there was a real dragon coiling on it.
The awe-inspiring aura emanating from it made people's hearts pound.
Cultivators of higher realms would not be affected, but if ordinary mortals or cultivators of lower realms saw this huge rock, they would be affected by it and hallucinate as if they were really seeing a dragon coiling on the rock.
Zhang Dongyun stood on top of the rock, his hands in front of him, forming a fist stance. He stood there motionlessly.
Slowly, the dragon shadow coiling on the huge rock rose and began to revolve around him.
The large amount of Spirit Qi that the Invincible City's system provided also landed on Zhang Dongyun's body.
As Zhang Dongyun breathed in and out, the Spirit Qi and the dragon shadow were refined by him. The cycle repeated.
After combining the wonders of the Coiling Dragon Rock, Zhang Dongyun's martial arts cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. He could continue to maintain his previous speed and sprint towards a higher realm.
While Master Zhang was concentrating on his cultivation, the Central Plains was still in turmoil.
While Grand Purity Palace being broken through caused the Great Gan Imperial Dynasty, Great Feng Imperial Dynasty, Central Mountain Temple, Spiritual Light Temple, and other places to feel insecure, it also intimidated Northern Mang's people.
They were confronting Chang 'an City on the original Ning Dynasty's territory. At this moment, people's hearts were in turmoil.
Further north, in the Desolate Sea to the north of the Central Plains, there were also people who could no longer sit still.
The leader of the Six Banes of the North Sea, the 'Demon Scaled-Dragon King' Tan Ping, had gathered everyone in the secret Sea Mansion.
Other than the "Blood Emperor" Zheng Ximing, the rest of the Six Evils of the North Sea were all present, including Hui Xing.
"I believe everyone has heard a lot, seen a lot, and thought a lot over the past few days."
Tan Ping's tone was calm, but he went straight to the point, "The time for us to return to the Central Plains has finally arrived. What's left now is to see how we should deal with it. If anyone has any opinions, feel free to speak your mind now. Let's talk openly and honestly so that we can set the rules for what's to come."
"Evil Thunder" Song Rui, ranked fourth among the "Six Villains of the North Sea", was the first to speak calmly. "Big brother, you can make the decision. I'll do whatever you say."
Tan Ping nodded at him, and then looked at the others.
"Black Cloud Deity" Tu Lin, ranked fifth, smiled. "I'll also follow big brother's lead."
Hui Xing said, "Since we've already spoken our minds, then let's not beat around the bush. Forgive me for being blunt, but if you want to join Northern Mang, count me in. If you want to join Chang 'an, then forgive me for taking my leave. Please don't take offense."
Tan Ping's expression was calm as he nodded. "What about the others?"
"Big brother, let me say something."
"Bone Devil" Jiang Zhe, ranked third among the Six Evils, said Slowly, "It's better for us to join Northern Mang."
Tan Ping's expression was calm. "Why?"
"Northern Mang seems to only have the Great Emperor, and they don't have as many people as the Twelve Kings of Hell. However, he killed the fourteenth level Northern Mang's Emperor Wei on the spot. Although Chang 'an has breached Tai Qing Palace, Peng Ziling escaped. Although the Twelve Kings of Hell have many people, they're not as powerful as they used to be."
Jiang Zhe continued, "This doesn't even include Peng Ziling's purposeful retreat from Middle Earth, allowing Northern Mang and Chang 'an to fight each other. Then, he'll find a chance to counterattack."
Tan Ping didn't comment. "Continue."
Jiang Zhe continued, "On the other hand, the Twelve Kings of Hell trust each other the most. As for Northern Mang, the Great Emperor's subordinates are ranked. With big brother's cultivation and strength, you can fight for a spot or two."
Tan Ping listened quietly, and then looked at the others. "What do you think of third brother's idea?"
"Starshark King" Xiang Chen, ranked last among the Six Villains, said, "Big brother, I think third brother's words are reasonable."
Song Rui shook his head. "Everything is good in Northern Mang, except for one thing."
Jiang Zhe smiled and asked, "Fourth brother, please enlighten me."
"The bad thing about Northern Mang is that it's more likely that they can't defeat Chang 'an."
Song Rui said coldly, "Third brother's assumption just now is underestimating Chang 'an too much. Peng Ziling of Tai Qing Palace did run away, but as far as I know, the only one who attacked Tai Qing Palace was Sword Demon, and' Sword Demon 'Su Po wasn't the City Lord of Chang' an.
The one who can suppress Su Po must be stronger than him. In other words, Chang 'an didn't even use half of its strength to attack Tai Qing Palace.
So, how can you be sure that Northern Mang can definitely defeat Chang 'an?
What's more, the other Twelve Kings of Hell have reincarnated, and it's only a matter of time before they return to their former peak. Chang 'an will only become stronger. "
Jiang Zhe smiled. "But they're not the only ones who are getting stronger. Who knows if we won't reach a higher level in the future?
If we don't even have this bit of ambition, no matter if we join Chang 'an or Northern Mang, are we going to live under someone else's roof for the rest of our lives? "
Tan Ping looked at Jiang Zhe quietly and suddenly said, "Third brother seems to be in contact with Northern Mang?"
Jiang Zhe smiled. "It's just a preliminary contact. I've also tried to make contact with Chang 'an."
Song Rui snorted. "It's not as simple as a preliminary contact, right? Third brother seems determined to get the fourteenth realm. Is it because Northern Mang has something you can use, just like how second brother searched for the Coiling Dragon Rock? "
Jiang Zhe shook his head. "Fourth brother, you've wronged me. Am I that kind of person?"
Song Rui sneered at him, not believing him at all.
"I have no problem joining Northern Mang," Hui Xing said quietly.
Sixth brother Xiang Chen also nodded. "Fourth brother, your worries aren't unfounded. But you've forgotten that the Great Emperor has already subdued Old Kong of the Saint Evolving Manor. There are also many strong people in Northern Mang. Besides, we can also improve, right?"
"Scaled-Dragon Demon King" Tan Ping Slowly stood up at this moment.
He didn't get angry. He just glanced at everyone in front of him. "Since we've already made our decision, let's all make a decision together. Those who have decided to join Northern Mang, stand to my left. Those who want to join Chang 'an, stand to my right."
Jiang Zhe, who was originally on his left, stood still.
Hui Xing also stood silently beside Jiang Zhe.
Sixth brother Xiang Chen walked to Jiang Zhe's side.
Fourth brother Song Rui and Fifth brother Tu Lin stood to Tan Ping's right.
Tan Ping sighed softly. "It's a pity that second brother isn't here. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a three-on-three tie. With one more person, we can successfully decide the victor."
As he spoke, the underwater palace shook violently as if the sky and earth were collapsing.
The entire palace turned into flowing water and merged with the sea.
Then, the vast sea surged toward Jiang Zhe and the other two on Tan Ping's left. It seemed to have condensed into a solid form and pressed down from all directions.
Jiang Zhe and the others didn't seem surprised.
A giant ape that was as big as a small mountain but had no flesh and only bones appeared.
His entire body was made of white bones, and at this moment, it actually turned into a translucent crystal, emitting an invisible demonic power.
As the Skeletal Ape opened its arms, the seawater that was surging in all directions was immediately blocked.
Jiang Zhe, Hui Xing, and Xiang Chen took the opportunity to retreat.
"Fighting within the same family, killing each other. How sad …" Jiang Zhe sighed softly like Tan Ping.
However, he didn't slow down at all.
The shadows of the White Bone Demonic Apes appeared one after another, guarding Jiang Zhe.
Almost at the same time, under the surging sea water, many shadows of the Sea-overturning Flood Dragons appeared. They were everywhere and pounced toward Jiang Zhe and the others.
Groups of White Bone Demonic Apes and Sea-overturning Flood Dragons immediately started fighting in the deep sea.
"Have you forgotten where this is?" Tan Ping waved his hand.
The Sea-overturning Flood Dragons were like the masters of the sea. The sea surface of the Desolate Sea within hundreds of miles suddenly became calm and peaceful.
However, at the bottom of the sea, terrifying undercurrents surged and gathered in a limited area, forming a terrifying power that could destroy heaven and earth.
Under the pressure of such power, even though the White Bone Demonic Apes didn't fear Divine Weapons and had infinite strength, they were still suppressed to the point of having difficulty moving.
Moreover, those Sea-overturning Flood Dragons roamed the sea as they pleased, appearing in any direction at any time. The White Bone Demonic Apes couldn't deal with them and were in a difficult situation.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhe didn't panic. He only praised, "Big Brother's cultivation is extraordinary. It seems that he's closer to the 14th realm than I am. I'm really impressed."
He was also a 13th realm Demonic Dao expert.
Normally, it would be easy for him to control the surrounding sea water and various things.
However, facing Tan Ping, who cultivated the Demonic Dao's Sea-overturning Flood Dragon transformation, it was a completely different matter.
Tan Ping seemed to have refined this sea into a part of him.
Jiang Zhe couldn't affect this sea with his Demonic Dao ability. He could only sit and watch the other party control the terrain.
Under normal circumstances, he could only try his best to leave the sea.
Although he said that, Jiang Zhe suddenly waved his hand.
The next moment, a small bowl appeared.
It was a brush washer used by literati to hold water and wash their brushes.
The moment this brush washer appeared, it immediately produced a huge suction force.
The small brush washer seemed to have an endless capacity.
A large amount of seawater was continuously sucked in and disappeared without a trace.
Although Tan Ping's Demonic Dao was domineering, he could only barely resist the brush washer and prevent it from scooping up the sea.
