"The Twelve Kings of Hell were active in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent about thirty to forty years ago. Their cultivation and strength are extraordinary."
The Nine Saints Palace elder reported to the youth in white. "Four of them cultivate martial arts, five of them cultivate demonic arts, two of them are Taoists, and one of them is a Confucian."
The youth in white nodded. "I've heard that there should be five fourteenth-level cultivators among them, right?"
"His Majesty is wise. That was the case back then." The Nine Saints Palace elder hurriedly said, "Later, I heard that they suffered a huge setback. Many of them were forced to reincarnate and cultivate again. But now that they have made a comeback, I believe that they have mostly recovered. They might even be stronger than before."
"Oh?" The youth in white looked up at him.
The Nine Saints Palace elder hurriedly replied, "According to the news we received, the Sword Demon Su Po, who is ranked seventh among the Twelve Kings of Hell, was originally at the thirteenth level of cultivation. But now that he has reappeared, he has reached the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm."
"I see."
The youth in white nodded. "Indeed, he is not an opponent that you can deal with."
The Nine Saints Palace elder bowed respectfully. "His Majesty, please help us."
The youth in white in front of him was an old demon who had been famous for many years. He was the Nine Infants King, Gui Nanshan, who dominated the North Continent.
The Nine Saints Palace's lineage in the Southern Wilderness of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent originated from him.
Strictly speaking, the youth in white in front of him could be considered their ancestor.
The pressure from Chang 'an was too much for the Nine Saints Palace to bear. They could only plead with their ancestor to take care of their disciples in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
"Based on what you said, if the Twelve Kings of Hell really come down south again, the Southern Wilderness will not be able to resist them for long."
"Nine Infants King," Gui Nanshan said unhurriedly. "If you come to me, I'm afraid the Southern Wasteland is already under Chang 'an's control."
The Nine Saints Palace elder froze on the spot when he heard this.
Gui Nanshan shook his head slightly. "Your so-called Dragon City has sent you a message. That means that the person in charge of Dragon City, whether dead or alive, is no longer of any use. The rest of you will not be able to resist them either."
The old man in front of him looked depressed. "His Majesty, what's next …"
Gui Nanshan waved his hand, "Go back to the Dong Sheng Divine Prefecture first and find out what's going on with the Nine Holies Palace. Come back and report to this old man."
The Nine Holies Palace elder fell silent.
What the other party wanted him to find out was obviously whether the Nine Saints Palace had surrendered to Chang 'an, been destroyed, or had fled to fight as a guerrilla.
"Yes, I will follow His Majesty's orders. I will return to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent." The Nine Saints Palace Elder had no choice but to bow to Gui Nanshan and leave.
The Nine Infants King, who looked like a youth in white, watched the other party leave quietly. His gaze turned towards the direction of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and did not retract for a long time.
The people from the Nine Saints Palace could not possibly know that while they were facing a life-or-death crisis in the Southern Wilderness of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, the North Continent was not peaceful either.
This place was also welcoming a turning point in its history.
Even the Nine Infants King, Gui Nanshan, who was an old demon of the Fourteenth Tier, felt as if he was in a raging tide.
He did not retract his gaze from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. After a while, he suddenly said, "Go back and find out what's going on. Report back as soon as possible."
Beside him, a middle-aged man appeared. He was handsome and had a sharp aura.
If anyone in the Central Plains of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent saw him, they would recognize him. He was the former leader of the Shushan Southern Sect, Han Feiyu, who had disappeared from the Central Plains for a long time.
The Shushan Southern Sect was destroyed because of the Twelve Kings of Hell.
Only Han Feiyu and a few others managed to escape.
After that, Han Feiyu contacted the Golden-Winged Great Roc and other Southern Wilderness experts to head north to the Central Plains to deal with Chang 'an together.
During the battle of the Nine Peaks Academy, he was intercepted by the Shushan Sect Leader, Gu Pu.
After that, Han Feiyu rarely appeared in the Central Plains. No one knew where he went.
Not only did he leave the Central Plains, he even left the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and went all the way to the North Continent.
But now, it was time for him to return.
"Rest assured, Elder Gui. I understand."
After hearing Gui Nanshan's words, Han Feiyu nodded slightly.
Gui Nanshan continued, "You already know the situation here. After returning to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, don't cause any trouble."
"I understand. I won't delay Your Majesty's important matters." Han Feiyu cupped his hands at Gui Nanshan. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared into the air.
Gui Nanshan continued to look in the direction of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. After a while, he retracted his gaze and disappeared.
…
In the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, Zhang Dongyun had been waiting for a long time. The result disappointed him.
Whether it was the Nanzhan Department Continent or the North Continent, there was no movement.
As for the Suanni Tribe and the Nine Saints Palace in the Southern Wilderness of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, the people behind them did not seem to care about their survival.
This made Master Zhang, who was looking forward to catching a big fish, very disappointed.
What made him even more disappointed was that even the Youhuai tree, which was planted on the eastern coast of the Western Region, did not catch any big fish from the Western Region.
He only managed to catch some small fish and shrimps who came to inquire about the situation.
Thinking that even the smallest mosquito was meat, Zhang Dongyun accepted them all with a smile. However, it was still far from his expectations.
However, if the East was not bright, the West would be bright. Since there were no powerful opponents here, Master Zhang did not waste this day of temporary expansion.
While waiting for the others, he carefully scanned through the vast area of Invincible City like a sieve.
After sifting through it, he basically scooped up all the rare treasures in the Southern Wilderness, Northern Mang, Middle Earth, Eastern Border, and the surrounding vast seas.
To be honest, after so many years of development, the treasures that could be plundered had already been plundered by various heroes.
There were very few things that had yet to be discovered.
Only Zhang Dongyun, with the help of the Invincible City's system, could have some gains.
What made him happy was that there was no lack of natural treasures that were beneficial to his own cultivation.
A day passed. As Zhang Dongyun counted his gains, he felt that the area of Invincible City had shrunk back to its original size when it was expanded for the eighth time.
Northern Mang, Southern Wilderness, most of Middle Earth, a corner of the Western Region, and the vast seas around the continents disappeared from Master Zhang's perception.
He sat in the Daming Palace in Chang 'an City and could not help but touch his chin.
This kind of experience was relatively unfamiliar to him.
In the past, with each expansion, Zhang Dongyun felt that his range of perception was constantly expanding, and he could see everything around him.
Today was the first time he experienced the feeling of shrinking in reverse.
The feeling was quite novel, but for Master Zhang, it was not very wonderful.
He, who was used to controlling everything, suddenly lost control of some things.
For example, the residence of the Twilight Mist Tree Demon.
Master Zhang felt rather regretful that he did not manage to wait for the other party to return after a day.
"Eleventh Brother, make a trip to the Southern Wilderness."
He summoned Ao Kong and ordered, "When you arrive, don't alert the enemy. Be patient and wait for a few days."
Ao Kong did not object to his order, but he was curious. "Who is so important to you?"
Zhang Dongyun shook his head. "She is not important to us, but Eighth Sister's Galaxy Silk should be from this demon."
Ao Kong's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Hey, what a pleasant surprise!"
Zhang Dongyun nodded. "So, make this trip."
Ao Kong smiled. "No problem. Watch me wait for the tree."
"Take this with you." Zhang Dongyun waved his hand, and a ball of light appeared out of thin air and flew to Ao Kong.
The thing wrapped in the ball of light was not solid, but something similar to flowing water. It was green and opaque.
Ao Kong sniffed, and his eyes lit up even brighter than before.
"Boss, is this the Blue Sea Soul?" Ao Kong's face lit up. "I haven't seen this for many years. I even looked for it in the past, but I returned empty-handed."
Zhang Dongyun's tone was nonchalant. "I found it by chance. Take it and absorb it."
The ball of green liquid wrapped in light was called the Blue Sea Soul. It came from the endless Desolate Sea.
But even in the Desolate Sea, it was extremely difficult to give birth to the Blue Sea Soul.
In the recent few hundred years, it had never appeared in the world, as if it had disappeared.
The Blue Sea Soul was very useful to demonic cultivators.
For Ao Kong, it was a treasure that only existed in legends, but he had never obtained it.
With this treasure, it would be very beneficial to his cultivation.
Even with the vision of the Ape Dragon King, he was pleasantly surprised when he saw it.
"Boss, you also have demonic cultivators in this city. Can you share some of the Blue Sea Soul with them?" Ao Kong looked up at Zhang Dongyun and asked.
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand casually. "You don't have to worry about them. These are all yours."
"I won't be polite with you, boss."
Ao Kong laughed loudly. He opened his mouth and swallowed the ball of light.
Since Zhang Dongyun said so, then Ao Ying and He Sanyang should also have a share. He didn't need to worry anymore.
He swallowed so many Blue Sea Souls in one gulp. It was not that he could digest them all now, but he would store them for the time being, and slowly refine them for his own use in the future.
After taking the Blue Sea Soul, Ao Kong said goodbye to Zhang Dongyun and went to the Southern Wasteland. According to Zhang Dongyun's instructions, he found Mu Haze's residence and waited quietly.
Not long after Ao Kong left, Shen Herong returned to Chang 'an.
"It seems that I didn't leave any loose ends."
Seeing Shen Herong who looked like a girl in Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smiled faintly.
Shen Herong also smiled and nodded at Zhang Dongyun. "Big Brother, please don't laugh at me."
There was no need to mention what happened to Shen Yuan, but Wang Che was completely and thoroughly killed by Shen Herong.
Zhang Dongyun always trusted this twelfth sister.
In the past, the Great Confucian and the Great Demon brother and sister became sworn brothers and were regarded as demonic cultivators by the whole world. In some ways, Shen Herong had been wronged.
Once she had made a decision, she was quite decisive and ruthless in her actions.
When everyone attacked the Sacred Evolution Mansion together, they didn't kill them all because of her.
But that was because they still had a relationship at that time.
If they fought again 30 years later, Zhang Dongyun was sure that when the time was right, Shen Herong would definitely wipe out the bloodline of the Sacred Evolution Mansion.
Just like how she wiped out the Shen family with her own hands.
Wang Che was her enemy, so she wouldn't be merciful.
After capturing him alive, she would persuade him to surrender and restore the relationship between master and disciple. This kind of thing would never happen to Shen Herong.
As for letting the other party go, that was even more out of the question.
"However, I have to say that he does have some talent. He didn't fail to live up to your teachings in the past."
Zhang Dongyun said, "If he is willing to go with us, he may be able to inherit your mantle in the future."
Shen Herong was calm and didn't show any emotion. Hearing this, he smiled. "I hope that there are countless people who can inherit my mantle, not one person."
Zhang Dongyun also smiled. "Now, you can try."
Shen Herong nodded.
Now, the dust had basically settled.
The Central Region would be completely under the control of Chang 'an.
"If you want, you can also try the Northern Mang and the Southern Wilderness together."
Zhang Dongyun said, "Just now, I personally went to take a look."
Shen Herong smiled and said, "Since Big Brother is going there personally, there naturally won't be any problems. However, it's better for me to take it step by step."
Zhang Dongyun said, "This is naturally up to you."
Shen Herong wanted to enlighten the world, and Zhang Dongyun had no objections.
Especially the path she took from the foundation, which was discussed with Zhang Dongyun. It was in line with Zhang Dongyun's cultural needs.
To complete the construction task and suppress the illiteracy rate of the ordinary people in the Invincible City, Zhang Dongyun naturally still used the same method and handed this job to Shen Herong.
However, even after the eighth expansion, the Invincible City's territory didn't include the Northern Mang, the Southern Wilderness, or even the Central Region. It was still extremely vast.
The population was even more massive.
The only thing that Zhang Dongyun could be thankful for was that the ocean took up a relatively large part of it.
Otherwise, the population in the Invincible City would be even more exaggerated.
Even now, it was still a difficult task to collectively eradicate illiteracy.
If it weren't for the fact that the Confucian cultivators in this world had all kinds of magical powers, it would be a headache just thinking about it to popularize culture in a short period of time.
The cultural literacy this time might take quite a long time.
Fortunately, this time they took back a fragment of the Immortals, so the Invincible City still had enough time to exist.
Zhang Dongyun hoped to complete the construction task as soon as possible and accumulate enough experience points.
At that time, he could usher in the real ninth expansion.
It was a permanent expansion, not just a temporary one.
"Go ahead, Twelfth Sister. If you need anything, just ask Dark Cloud directly." Zhang Dongyun said, "Oh right, this is for you."
Just like the Blue Ocean Soul he gave to Ao Kong, this time, a ball of light appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Shen Herong.
Shen Herong glanced at it and saw that it was actually a tree branch in the ball of light.
There were a few leaves on the branch that swayed slightly.
Shen Herong recognized it at a glance. "A branch of the Empty Court Tree? I've seen pictures of it in ancient books, but this is the first time I've seen the real thing. I remember that this tree has been extinct for a long time. "
"That's right, I found it by chance. This item is suitable for your Confucian cultivation. Take it and slowly study it," Zhang Dongyun said.
