He had been in this world for a long time. He had seen many people kill, and he had killed many with his own hands.
Zhang Dongyun suddenly realized that when he killed Emperor Feng, Wang Jie, his state of mind did not fluctuate much.
Back then, he still needed the Earth Heart Seal and the Mirror Lake to stabilize his state of mind.
Now, he did not need the help of martial arts mantras anymore.
Should he say that he was becoming more and more like the Evil Emperor of the past?
When this thought arose, Zhang Dongyun had a strange feeling in his heart. He shook his head slightly, and his attention returned to the city in front of him.
This was the capital of Middle Earth's Liu family, Daxuan Dynasty.
After the Dahan, Dajing, and Dayin Dynasties, Daqian and Dafeng Dynasties were all destroyed in a day.
Of the six dynasties in Middle Earth, only Xuan Dynasty was left.
However, this time, Zhang Dongyun did not make a move immediately.
In the city, someone's heart was touched by him.
Soon, a figure appeared in front of him alone.
"Liu Chengyu of Xuan Dynasty greets the City Lord of Chang 'an." The person bowed deeply to Zhang Dongyun.
Liu Chengyu was the current Emperor Xuan, the ruler of Daxuan Dynasty. He was at the thirteenth realm of martial arts.
Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly, "You have decided?"
Emperor Xuan Liu Chengyu bowed again, "From today onwards, there is only Daxuan Dynasty. I am willing to pledge my loyalty to Your Majesty. Please guide me."
Zhang Dongyun said, "Very good. Later, someone will come to coordinate the details with you."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Liu Chengyu responded, he added, "Your Majesty, there are people from Prison Dragon Sect and Dabei Temple on the sea recently."
Prison Dragon Sect and Dabei Temple were famous sects in the western region.
Liu Chengyu and Daxuan Dynasty were guarding the western border of Middle Earth, facing the western region.
Although it was far away from the Huang Sea, the western region's infiltration of Middle Earth had never stopped.
Previously, Liu Chengyu and Daxuan Dynasty had always regarded the western region as their biggest threat.
Of course, it was now proven that Chang 'an City was far more ferocious than the western region.
However, neither Liu Chengyu nor the Imperial Liu Family had participated in the ambush against the Twelve Kings of Hell back then.
Now that Chang 'an's influence had swallowed the world, they bowed their heads to Chang' an, unlike the Feng Dynasty, the Qian Dynasty, the Jing Dynasty, and the Ning Dynasty.
If anyone was to be blamed, it would be Emperor Xuan, Liu Chengyu himself. He needed to change from being the ruler of a region to someone else.
If Liu Chengyu could convince himself that the Great Xuan Dynasty would submit to Chang 'an, it would not be a problem.
"Prison Dragon Sect, Dabei Temple …" Zhang Dongyun waved his hand, "You mean them?"
Following his words, dozens of people flew through the air and landed in front of him and Liu Chengyu.
Liu Chengyu stared blankly for a moment, he looked carefully and found a few familiar faces among them. They were the Elders of Prison Dragon Sect and Dabei Temple.
The Great Xuan Dynasty had interacted with both of them in the past. They had collected intelligence on the other party and had also gained something.
Even if Liu Chengyu had not seen them in person, he had seen their portraits.
He willingly submitted and bowed to Zhang Dongyun. "Your Majesty's divine might is boundless. Cheng Yu admires you."
On the other side, the people who were captured were all dumbfounded.
Especially the Elders of Prison Dragon Sect and Dabei Temple, who were the leaders.
They had brought their juniors to investigate the changes caused by the battle between Xian Kaiyang and Su Po on the sea.
The people from their sects had spread out to search. The two leaders stayed behind and took charge of the situation.
In the end, before they could find anything, they were suddenly in a trance. The people from the two sects, including the two Elders, were all brought here.
They were still curious about where they were at the moment.
Zhang Dongyun's face was shrouded in the light, making it hard to see clearly.
However, they recognized Emperor Xuan Liu Chengyu, one of the rulers of the Six Great Dynasties of Middle Earth.
Could it be that they were all brought to Middle Earth in a trance?
"After interrogating them, report back to the city."
Zhang Dongyun handed them over to Liu Chengyu. Liu Chengyu hurriedly took them.
Actually, Zhang Dongyun already knew what they knew.
Through these people, Zhang Dongyun understood the current situation of the Western Regions.
It was still the world of Buddhism. There were many temples, countless believers, and countless experts.
Among them, there were two people that Zhang Dongyun had to be careful of.
One was the Abbot of Dabei Temple, Master Huai Yong.
The other was the Abbot of Sensual Temple, Master Xian Kong.
Both of them were at the fourteenth level of Buddhist cultivation, which was also the fifth level of Buddhist Dharmakaya. They were high monks who had already cultivated Boundless Dharmakaya.
Both of them had participated in the incident of the Immortals.
To be precise, the Four Great Holy Monks of the Western Regions had participated in the battle.
Although the Twelve Kings of Hell had suffered, they did not gain any benefits. Of the Four Great Holy Monks, only Huai Yong and Xian Kong returned alive.
Moreover, both of them were severely injured and took a long time to recover from their injuries.
It was because of this that another fourteenth-level expert of the Western Regions took the opportunity to rise.
He was the current leader of the Caged Dragon Sect, Jie Feng, who called himself the Dragon Emperor.
The rise of this martial arts expert was slightly easier for the Buddhists to accept compared to the Taoists, Demons, and Diabolism.
However, there were still some cracks in Buddhism's influence in the Western Regions.
Fortunately, Xie Feng was a patient person who kept a low profile. In many matters, he followed the decisions of the Buddhist School. He even accepted the title of Buddhist School's outer court Guardian Heavenly King. Therefore, in the Western Region, Prison Dragon Sect and the Buddhist School were able to coexist peacefully.
However, with more than thirty years of recuperation, Buddhism in the Western Regions had gradually recovered. Not only had Abbot Huai Yong and Abbot Xian Kong recovered from their injuries, but the younger generation of experts had also emerged.
As time passed, it was possible for Buddhism in the Western Regions to produce another fourteenth-level monk.
At that time, it was hard to say what the Caged Dragon Sect's situation would be like now.
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that there was no external influence.
But now, the chaos in the Central Plains had also implicated the Western Regions.
Peng Ziling, the leader of the Tai Qing Palace, had suddenly caused chaos in the Western Regions.
The threat of a fourteenth-level Taoist expert was far greater than the threat of a fourteenth-level martial arts expert to Buddhism in the Western Regions.
Of course, Peng Ziling, Huai Yong, and Xian Kong were all acquaintances.
Compared to Xie Feng, who had risen after the incident in the Immortals, the two Buddhists and Daoists had more in common.
They had the same enemy.
It was the city of Chang 'an that had just chased Peng Ziling and the Tai Qing Palace from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.
They were the Twelve Kings of Hell of the past.
When the enemies of the past came back to settle the score, the Buddhists in the Western Regions could not care less about the local conflicts.
The most important thing for them at the moment was to unite and defend against a stronger enemy.
Through these captives, Zhang Dongyun also knew that the people of the Tai Qing Palace had kept a low profile after hiding in the Western Regions.
The ordinary people did not even know that such a Taoist holy land had moved to the Western Regions.
This was also the tacit understanding between Peng Ziling, Abbot Huai Yong, and Abbot Xian Kong.
The Tai Qing Palace felt that Dabei Temple and Sensual Temple had helped them find a suitable place to stay in the Western Regions for these Central Plains Taoists to settle down and recuperate.
Unfortunately, although the ninth expansion of Invincible City had reached the eastern edge of the Western Regions, it had not been able to expand the Tai Qing Palace's foothold.
According to the news and rumors obtained by Prison Dragon Sect and Dabei Temple, the entire Tai Qing Palace, from Sect Leader Peng Ziling to a group of young disciples, lived in seclusion in the Western Region. They were as low-key as quails and rarely went out.
However, the Tai Qing Palace had purchased a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures through various channels.
According to the analysis of Abbot Huai Yong and others, it should not be for alchemy.
It was more likely to be for refining some kind of magic weapon.
However, Caged Dragon Sect and Dabei Temple had not been able to find out what Peng Ziling was refining.
But there was no doubt that he was preparing for the battle with Chang 'an.
Zhang Dongyun did not care much about this.
He could not wait for Old Taoist Peng to succeed in refining the magic weapon and then confidently come to Chang 'an to seek revenge.
This also included Kong Shengzhen, the Prefecture Lord of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture, and the Qian Emperor Song Jun.
The former did not return to the Central Plains after being severely injured by Su Po. Currently, the whereabouts of the people from the Sacred Evolving Prefecture were unknown.
It was very likely that he had also gone to the Western Regions to hide.
However, due to time constraints, the captives from the Western Regions this time had not received any news.
As for the Qian Emperor Song Jun, after leaving his dynasty and retreating from Kunyang City, he headed west without looking back.
Han Xiao chased after him all the way until Song Jun finally escaped to the Western Regions.
After hearing Han Xiao's report, Zhang Dongyun ordered the other party not to pursue further.
After all, there was no Guardian Points reward for capturing this guy, so there was no need for Han Xiao to go deeper into the tiger's den.
After receiving Zhang Dongyun's order, Han Xiao returned immediately.
Master Zhang sent out an order to the world to summon people to Chang 'an for an audience.
For example, the former Sect Master of the Northern Sect of Mount Shu. Gu Pu.
After the destruction of the Southern Sect of Mount Shu and the escape of Han Feiyu and a few other fish that escaped the net, the Mount Shu Sect could be said to be reunited to some extent.
Although they had helped Chang 'an before, they had vaguely shown a respectful attitude in terms of leadership.
However, they might have been able to persist in the past, but now that the entire Central Plains had fallen into the control of Chang 'an, the Mount Shu Sect had to make a formal choice.
"Or, like the Tai Qing Palace, stay away from Mount Shu and leave the Central Plains."
Gu Pu's gaze swept across the faces of the elders of the sect. "Or, bow down and submit. Chang 'an is not like the Feng Dynasty, and the City Lord of Chang' an is not like Wang Jie. If we bow down, it will be real and not superficial."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Everyone was a little unwilling to leave their hometown and give up the foundation of the sect that had been established for many years.
After all, they did not have a deep hatred for Chang 'an like Peng Ziling, Song Jun, and Wang Jie.
On the contrary, the relationship between the two sides was actually not bad.
At the moment, they were not in a fatal disaster, but they had to flee. No matter what, it was a little too unfair.
But if they did not leave, it meant that they had to formally submit to the other party and listen to the other party's orders in the future.
They listened to the tone and the announcement.
For the hot-blooded martial artists, it was a real blow.
This made it difficult for the people of Mount Shu to make up their minds for a while.
"What do you think, Sect Master?" someone asked with difficulty.
