Ao Kong could not be compared to Shen Herong.
He had no interest in interacting with mortals, nor did he care about them.
To be more precise, it was already the result of Zhang Dongyun, Shen Herong, and the others' admonishment that the Great Demon King did not kill the innocent. When he was in a bad mood, he would not cause a bloodbath for thousands of miles.
It was wishful thinking to expect him to love and work hard for the common people.
Letting him go to the Wu Ming World was mainly to hold the fort.
No one below the 15th level could match him, even if they outnumbered him.
If a 15th level expert came, he could deal with them and wait for reinforcements.
As for 16th level experts, the Annihilation Sword Sect did not have any.
A force with 16th level experts would not set their sights on the Wu Ming World, which had nothing to do with them. They would only come to Chang 'an in the Yan Huang World.
Therefore, it was enough for Ao Kong to hold the fort in the Wu Ming World.
Zhang Dongyun had to get the Wu Ming World back.
If the Annihilation Sword Sect ran away, so be it. If they did not, he would go on a killing spree in Chang 'an.
Even if the Senluo Sword Sect had no intention of doing so, Chang 'an had to be established there.
To establish a foothold there, be it in terms of governance or intimidation, he had to interact with the locals of the Wu Ming World, including the Senluo Sword Sect and the other sects in the Wu Ming World.
At the same time, he had to interact with the local people.
These were things that Ao Kong was not good at and did not care to do.
Of course, Chang 'an City needed capable people to lead a whole team of people to take charge.
In terms of ability, Zhang Dongyun's most capable subordinate was Prince Yin Lou Ning.
Lou Ning and Lou Yu had contributed a lot to the development of Chang 'an in the Yan Huang World. It was no less than opening up new territory.
However, after some consideration, Zhang Dongyun decided to give others a chance to train.
In the end, he chose the Shushan Sect leader, Gu Pu.
Objectively speaking, Gu Pu could not be considered outstanding in terms of governance.
He was actually the same as the Senluo Sword Palace's Palace Master Feng Qi. They were both obsessed with sword cultivation in their early years.
It was only after the great change that they began to work hard, no longer being obsessed with one person and one sword. Instead, they placed importance on the development of their own sect, seeking a foothold and regaining their glory.
Gu Pu improved rapidly in this aspect.
Previously, when Chang 'an City had just occupied the Aparagodaniya Continent, he was in charge of the local garrison duty.
The person who cooperated with him at that time was Ao Kong.
This time, leading the team to Wu Ming Realm together could be considered a walk in the park. Both sides had a rough understanding of each other, so there was no need for them to work together.
On the other hand, in the Wu Ming World, martial arts were basically revered. Most of the famous sects and holy lands cultivated martial arts.
Among the many Martial Dao Sacred Grounds, more than half of them were Sword Dao.
In the entire Wu Ming World, more than half of the top experts were martial artists who used the sword.
Gu Pu was also a peak Martial Monarch who cultivated the Sword Dao. If he went there and handled things well, it would be easy for him to turn the situation around.
As a martial artist who cultivated in the way of the sword, although he was full of vigor, he just happened not to have an unruly temperament.
Everything could be said to be perfect.
Apart from that, there was another decisive factor …
"I will follow Your Majesty's imperial edict."
Gu Pu, who came under the imperial edict, bowed to Zhang Dongyun. "I will arrange for people to gather and set off with Mr. Eleven as soon as possible."
After he left Da Ming Palace, he immediately gathered his capable subordinates as expected.
"I heard that the Wu Ming World is a world of Sword Dao. His Majesty ordered you to go and preside over it. In addition to making the best use of people's talents, it is also a great grace."
A Shu Mountain elder said, "I wonder if you can bring more young disciples of our sect over. Even if they can't learn much, it's good to broaden their horizons."
Gu Pu said, "Let's first complete the task given by His Majesty. After the situation in the Wu Ming World stabilizes, we will consider other things."
The group of Shu Mountain elders all agreed. "Sect Master is right."
Gu Pu looked around at everyone and said earnestly, "His Majesty has never mistreated people like us who have worked hard to complete the task. He has thought about it carefully. We only need to follow and execute it seriously."
Everyone vaguely heard that Gu Pu seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words. For a moment, they were all thoughtful.
Xiao Peng suddenly thought of something. "Sect Master, in recent years, His Majesty seems to have arranged for you to handle various affairs. Other than trusting you, is there any other deeper meaning?"
Gu Pu looked at Xiao Peng with a look of approval. "That's right. His Majesty's eyes are like torches. He can see ten thousand miles away. When I was still looking at flowers in the fog, he had already seen through it. If I want to improve my Sword Dao, I must be tempered by endless worldly affairs."
When the people of Shu Mountain heard this, they were all shocked.
Gu Pu had already understood the meaning of Zhang Dongyun's advice. "In recent years, I seem to be buried in affairs and have separated my time and experience. But to me, this is actually the real hope of reaching a higher level of diligent training."
Xiao Peng and the rest took a deep breath. "His Majesty … is really unfathomable. He sees through everything."
Slowly, Gu Pu nodded. "Yes …"
When he first went to the Aparagodaniya Continent, he thought it was a coincidence. He had misunderstood Zhang Dongyun's meaning.
But this time, when he was sent to the Wu Ming World, Gu Pu was completely convinced that everything was under Zhang Dongyun's control.
His Majesty's arrangement was a solid reminder to him.
While Gu Pu was shocked, he was even more determined to calm his mind and start from the bottom.
In this way, he could serve Zhang Dongyun.
At the same time, he could sharpen his Sword Dao.
Whether it was public or private, they all pointed in the same direction.
Sometimes, Gu Pu could not help but think that this could be considered his luck.
In the Great Ming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched as Gu Pu and his fellow sect members, Tian Xuan, left.
Sensing the conversation between Gu Pu, Xiao Peng and the rest of the Shu Mountain people, Master Zhang only smiled slightly.
Gu Pu still had potential to be unearthed.
It wasn't just because he still set challenging Su Po as his goal and continued to move forward, he was full of ambition and drive. At the same time, it was also because he really did have the hope of reaching a higher level.
The key was to find the right method.
Shu Mountain's Sword Dao could be said to be a very pure sword technique. Moreover, it was constantly improving.
But they also had their own bottlenecks.
If they wanted to break through, they needed more worldly affairs to temper themselves.
This might stain their swords with impurities or even filth.
But only by breaking through this level could they be reborn from the ashes.
After this level of tempering, they could reach a higher level.
In the short term, there might not be any hope, but it was not impossible for Gu Pu to break through to the Martial Emperor realm in the future.
The other party had always been cautious and conscientious, so Zhang Dongyun naturally did not hesitate to help him along.
Gu Pu and Ao Kong went to the Wu Ming World to establish a foothold. It was also very important for Zhang Dongyun and Chang 'an City.
Zhang Dongyun refreshed his construction mission list:
[Construction Mission 12.1 — Invincible City is about to cover a complete world and begin to expand into the universe. City Lord, please establish an outpost in the current universe.]
Looking at the mission description, he should only need to establish a fulcrum.
If the situation was right, this fulcrum might become a ready-made satellite city in the future.
Thus, it was equivalent to laying the foundation for the future expansion of the universe.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
