While the demons in the Nanzhan Section Continent were moving, the demons in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent were also moving.
In the Southern Wilderness, the Black Sky Snake, Sea Fire Tiger, Suanni, Roc, Colorful Peacock, Youhuai, and other demons started the largest migration in history.
They didn't move to the West Region, but to the west and south.
They went deep into the Huang Sea between the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and the Nanzhan Section Continent.
The demons were the main force of Chang 'an City's infiltration into the Huang Sea.
Demons against demons.
Of course, there was a possibility that a portion of the Demon Clan would defect to the Southern Viewing Department Continent.
After all, it was humiliating for some vicious demons to be controlled by humans.
They would rather fight with other demons than be controlled by humans.
But Zhang Dongyun wasn't worried about that.
Such demons were the minority after all.
If there were, he could use the talisman on them to understand the enemy's situation.
Most of the demons didn't dare to do that.
On the one hand, Zhang Dongyun's power in the Southern Wilderness was too strong. It was deeply engraved in their souls and bones.
They didn't believe that the Nanzhan Section Continent could resist Zhang Dongyun and the City of Chang 'an.
Why should they do that when they were doomed to failure?
After all, not every demon had to be stubborn to the end.
On the other hand, the leader of the Youhuai Clan, Cang Hui, gave them hope.
It was said that Cang Hui was the strongest among the 13th realm in the Southern Wilderness and was only a step away from the 14th realm.
But the Grass Demon had a long cultivation period. Even if he was close, it would take decades or centuries.
But after he joined the City of Chang 'an, he was guided by the City Lord of Chang' an. In just one year, he successfully crossed the chasm and reached the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm, reaching the All Creation Realm.
This gave the other demons something to aspire to in their hearts.
After all, Cang Hui was not alone.
There were countless masters in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, such as Gu Pu, Cheng Yang Zhenren, and Long Te. They all broke through their bottlenecks and rushed to higher realms because of the City of Chang 'an.
Cang Hui's existence proved that the City of Chang 'an treated all demons equally. The demons could also get the same treatment and rewards as the humans.
As long as he could make meritorious contributions to Chang 'an, anything was possible.
Under Zhang Dongyun's carrot-and-stick approach, some of the Demon Clans were even more proactive than the humans. They advanced towards the Nanzhan Department State, striving to expand the territory of Chang 'an City.
"Mister, some of our disciples have snuck into the Nanzhan Department Continent and contacted the Blood Hornless Race."
A middle-aged man in black reported to Mr. Dark Cloud respectfully in the Tianshu Hall in Chang 'an.
Mr. Dark Cloud, who was projected by Zhang Dongyun, nodded slightly. "What's the result?"
The middle-aged man answered, "The other party is still hesitant. I'm going to sneak into the Nanzhan Section Continent to meet him and persuade the Blood Mantis Clan to surrender to our Chang 'an City."
"Then go do it."
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded and said calmly, "Fu Huan, you're good. You work hard. The whole city of Chang 'an can see it."
This middle-aged man was the leader of the Black Sky Snake Clan, Fu Huan. He was a Realm 13 Great Demon in human form.
When he heard Mr. Dark Cloud's words, he was instantly overjoyed.
"After you go to the Nanzhan Department State, regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, just report it to Jie Feng."
Mr. Dark Cloud continued, "Jie Feng is building the Overseas Protectorate. You guys should assist him from the side."
"Yes, Mister."
Hearing this, Fu Huan's heart skipped a beat.
It seemed like the rumors from before were true.
Chang 'an City was going to build the Overseas Protectorate.
Currently, under the rule of Chang 'an, there were five Protectorates, corresponding to the five realms of the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
However, out of the five Protectorates, only three had Protectorates in charge. The other two positions of Northern Mang and Southern Wilderness were vacant.
The Protector of the Eastern Border was a demon that the City Lord and Chang 'an City had followed since they started. His name was Blood Shadow.
His cultivation wasn't high, and it was rumored that he was currently working hard to reach the second realm of the Demon Dao True Body.
However, there weren't many experts in the Eastern Border, so he was able to hold the fort with his cultivation.
Blood Shadow was His Majesty's trusted aide, so no one dared to underestimate him.
His existence was also a role model to let everyone know that as long as they were loyal to Chang 'an City, His Majesty wouldn't forget about them.
Whether this was true or just a ploy, Fu Huan felt a sense of yearning every time he thought about it.
Someone similar to Blood Shadow but different was Prince Yin, Lou Ning, who had just been promoted from Northern Mang Protectorate to Central Plains Protectorate.
The similarity was that he had followed His Majesty for even longer than Blood Shadow. He was someone who had followed His Majesty when the Twelve Kings of Hell were running amok.
The difference was that his cultivation was much higher than Blood Shadow's.
It was rumored that he was about to break through to the 14th realm.
Even without seniority, just his cultivation was enough to take on the role of Protector.
Previously, he was the Northern Mang Protectorate, but after leaving his post, there was a vacancy. Now, he was the Protector of Central Plains.
As for the Southern Wilderness, where Fu Huan came from, although the position of Protector was still vacant, he felt that there was already a candidate.
The Righteous Sect's sect master, Cheng Yang Zhenren.
He was a Yang Spirit and had a powerful magic treasure like the Yiguan Mirror. In terms of strength, he was definitely the strongest in Chang 'an City.
This old Daoist had made many contributions, and his Righteous Sect had opened a mountain in the Southern Wilderness. He was the most suitable Protector of the Southern Wilderness in terms of reward and stability.
Fu Huan walked out of Imperial Pivot Hall and left Chang 'an City. He had mixed feelings.
The Southern Wilderness was originally a place where monsters and demons fought for supremacy, but now, Daoism had the upper hand.
However, he had already decided that the future of the Black Sky Snake Clan wasn't in the Southern Wilderness.
He needed to lead the Black Sky Snake Clan and create a new situation.
Now, he was going to start by conquering the Southern Wilderness.
Many monsters were heading west. Cang Hui of the Youhuai Clan had already taken the lead. Their Black Sky Snake Clan couldn't fall behind.
Fu Huan flew across the Central Plains and the Western Regions to the Desolate Ocean to meet the Caged Dragon Sect Leader, Jie Feng.
"If the Blood Mantis Clan is willing to submit to our Chang 'an, that would be the best. You should contact them quickly."
Jie Feng said, "If they are hesitant, then it's okay. When Chang 'an City steps into the Southern Wilderness, everything will be crushed."
Fu Huan nodded, "I understand."
After discussing with Jie Feng for a while, Fu Huan said goodbye and left.
When he walked out of the door, he turned around to look.
This Caged Dragon Sect Leader was the current Western Regions Protector.
However, now that Jie Feng had been ordered to build the Overseas Protector Office, it was most likely time for him to step down from his position.
From the position of commander of the Western Regions to the Overseas Protector who was still at the frontlines, he didn't know if he should be given an important task or demoted.
However, after Jie Feng left, who would take over the position of Western Regions Protector?
Fu Huan had a vague guess, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
After all, the position of Northern Mang Protector was still empty. It was obviously reserved for rewards.
However, no matter what, Fu Huan wouldn't be able to make it in time.
Now, he could only hope to make a great contribution to fight for a higher position for the Black Sky Snake Clan in Chang 'an … Fu Huan made up his mind and flew towards the southwest.
In Jie Feng's temporary residence, the Elder under his sect also had a worried expression, "Sect Leader, is your departure from the position of Western Regions Protector completely confirmed?"
"Yes." Jie Feng's expression was calm, "I will be the new Overseas Protector Office's Protector Office, so I naturally have to step down from my position in the Western Regions."
Elder Fang wanted to say something but stopped.
Jie Feng said indifferently, "We are the local snakes in the Western Regions after all. Our foundation is much deeper than the righteous faction in the Southern Wilderness, and our influence is also much wider. It's inevitable that the people under us will be arrogant and disrespectful. It's good that I'm leaving now, so I don't have to clean up the sect personally. It's not good for everyone."
Hearing this, Elder Fang smiled bitterly, "Sect Leader, our sect's rules are quite strict …"
"They are, but not enough," Jie Feng said, "Chang 'an's rules are higher than our sect's rules."
Elder Fang lowered his head, "It's our fault for not being strict enough. Sect Leader, you have to suffer …"
"It's not like that." Jie Feng waved his hand, "On the contrary, I'm very satisfied with this arrangement. If His Majesty hadn't given the order, I would've taken the initiative to ask for it."
Elder Fang was slightly stunned, and then he fell into deep thought.
Jie Feng nodded, "The world is vast, and it's the world I've always dreamed of. Once upon a time, I almost forgot about this."
Elder Fang understood and sighed, "Sect Leader, you've worked hard all these years."
Although the Caged Dragon Sect was the top martial sect in the Western Regions in the past, it was suppressed by the Buddhist sects everywhere.
Jie Feng was a genius. He raised the foundation of the Caged Dragon Sect with his own strength and successfully broke through to the Fourteenth Realm, becoming a peak Martial Emperor. He seized the opportunity when the Four Great Holy Monks were either dead or injured, and led the Caged Dragon Sect to rise.
But after the Dabei Temple's Abbot Huai Yong and the Sensual Temple's Abbot Xiankong recovered from their injuries, the Buddhist sects began to clamp down on the Caged Dragon Sect's development.
Huai Yong and Xiankong, the two Fourteenth Realm Buddhist experts, suppressed them, and the Longxiang Temple's Abbot Jing Ge and other rising stars of the Buddhist sects pressuring them. Jie Feng was indeed under a lot of pressure.
He used all his energy to protect himself and the legacy of the sect. He was physically and mentally exhausted.
Now that the shackles were broken, he finally had the time to think about the ambition he had when he was fighting his way through the world in the past.
The position of Overseas Protector was naturally not as important as that of the Western Regions Protector. Moreover, facing the sharpness of the experts of the Nanzhan Department Continent, the North Continent, and the Aparagodānīya Continent, even with Jie Feng's Fourteenth Realm cultivation, it was still very dangerous.
But when he received the news, he was in high spirits. Even his blade seemed to be sharper than before.
