"I'm willing to follow Chang 'an's orders," Ji Qingwen suddenly said.
She knelt down on one knee before Zhang Dongyun on the throne.
Long Chuan's body trembled slightly, and he turned to look at her.
Ji Qingwen didn't say anything. She lowered her head to Zhang Dongyun, waiting for Zhang Dongyun to deal with her.
Zhang Dongyun looked calmly at the two people who were kneeling and standing below, and he was not in a hurry to speak.
Long Chuan stared at Ji Qingwen and stood silently for a long time. Finally, he withdrew his gaze and knelt down on one knee before Zhang Dongyun without saying a word.
Zhang Dongyun didn't care about their etiquette. He said indifferently, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment can't be forgiven. Go to the mortal world and beat them up first, and then deal with them."
Ji Qingwen and Long Chuan were only imprisoned before, and they weren't sent to the construction site to work.
But they had seen other prisoners being taken away to work as coolies, so they knew what Zhang Dongyun meant by going to the mortal world and beating them up.
Long Chuan's face tightened, and endless humiliation rose in his heart.
Killing someone was just a matter of nodding his head to the ground. Being humiliated like this was even worse than being killed on the spot.
But in the end, Long Chuan kept silent and lowered his head to Zhang Dongyun to show his obedience.
Beside him, Ji Qingwen was expressionless and did the same thing. "Yes."
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand, and the two people immediately disappeared from the hall.
When they came to their senses, they were already back in the Divine Punishment Palace.
Later on, more specific arrangements for them would be announced.
Long Chuan was silent and looked at Ji Qingwen.
Ji Qingwen said indifferently, "For His Majesty, can't you bear this little pain?"
Long Chuan finally said, "His Majesty hates the City Lord of Chang 'an to the bone. The City Lord did this to further humiliate His Majesty. If His Majesty knew about this, he would want to kill himself. He wouldn't want to see this situation."
Ji Qingwen turned to look at him with clear eyes and said calmly, "Don't make the decision for His Majesty."
Hearing this, Long Chuan was slightly stunned.
Ji Qingwen's tone didn't fluctuate at all. "Hold on. All we need to do is hold on until His Majesty wakes up. Then, His Majesty will make the decision."
Hearing this, Long Chuan fell into silence again.
Ji Qingwen said, "It doesn't matter whether Chang 'an City is scheming against us or not. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to hold on. For that day to come, we are now loyal to Chang' an. Before His Majesty wakes up, don't have any other ideas. Otherwise, it will only backfire."
After a moment of silence, Long Chuan nodded. "I understand."
Ji Qingwen immediately fell silent.
The two of them fell into silence again. Not long after, the deacon of the Hall of Punishment came and led them to the bottom of the Barren Sea in the east and the deep mountains of the Aparagodānīya Continent to work separately.
Even if they didn't want to, Zhang Dongyun could do whatever he wanted to them as long as they were in Invincible City.
After dealing with Ji Qingwen and Long Chuan, Zhang Dongyun's attention returned to his own cultivation and the completion of the system's construction task.
Obtaining more Desert Star Iron would greatly benefit his cultivation.
However, if he wanted to break through from the thirteenth level to the fourteenth level, he still needed to spend a lot of time and effort.
Master Zhang couldn't help but daydream. It would be great if he could gain more.
Right now, he could only take one step at a time and slowly walk forward.
Of course, compared to other people's cultivation, he was already much faster.
However, now that he had killed his way out of Yan Huang and charged into the universe, the world was much wider than before. Therefore, Master Zhang couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
This kind of emotion wasn't beneficial to cultivation. He needed to slowly get rid of it.
In comparison, the situation in the Wu Ming World was smoother than expected.
In other words, the Wu Ming World had been exterminating the Sword Sect for a long time.
The sword dao inheritance of this sect meant that they weren't enlightened rulers who were constructive and progressive.
Destruction and killing were the eternal themes of the Extermination Sword Sect.
Their need for stability was limited to a certain degree of cohesion and unity within their own sect. They didn't kill each other, and they had to stick together and look after each other.
Just like a sword, besides the sword's edge, there was always the sword's spine.
But to outsiders, the Extermination Sword Sect was just like the sword will they had inherited. They destroyed all things and slaughtered all life.
Although there were no specific statistics, the Extermination Sword Sect had replaced the Senluo Sword Palace in these years. Less than 10% of the total population of the Wu Ming World remained.
In fact, everyone felt that this was an extremely conservative figure.
Looking across the land and sea, the Wu Ming World was a desolate place.
The once densely populated imperial realm had become a desolate wasteland.
Back when the Senluo Sword Palace had attacked the Wu Ming World for the first time, they had been unstoppable. They had quickly taken over more than half of the Wu Ming World. This was because of the strong support of the other surviving sects.
It was a pity that the Extermination Sword Sect was too strong and resilient. They had withstood the Senluo Sword Palace's counterattack and waited for the injured Lin Zhong to recover.
Therefore, the Wu Ming World was once again in a state of chaos.
Not only had the Senluo Sword Palace successors suffered heavy casualties and fled in all directions, but the other surviving powers had also been wiped out.
When Ao Kong, Gu Pu, Fu Yuting, and the others returned this time and looked at the Wu Ming World again, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a barren land.
For Chang 'an City and the Senluo Sword Palace, the Extermination Sword Sect had basically wiped out all the local tyrants for them. Whatever they wanted to do next, they would not face any resistance, either overt or covert.
However, the Wu Ming World, which had suffered a great loss, would need decades or even longer to recover to its former state of producing talents and masters.
For Master Zhang, occupying this place would only give him the resources of the secular world.
In terms of cultivators, apart from the Senluo Sword Palace, there was basically no one here.
There were still some resources related to the Wu Ming World, but to mine them, they would need manpower and material resources. It would not be solved in a short time.
Long Chuan and Ji Qingwen, the two peak Martial Emperors, had first gotten used to the environment in Invincible City. Then, Zhang Dongyun intended to send them to the Wu Ming World to mine …
In short, Gu Pu and the others would face a considerable challenge if they wanted to start work in a poor state.
Master Zhang could only wish them good luck.
He himself also needed some good luck.
For example, the Taiyi Sect, the Doushi Academy, the Blood Kirin Demon Lord, and so on …
At the same time, the Ci Hang Pure Land and the Ananda Pure Land were also included.
The Buddhist Sect was still in the dark about what had happened in the Yan Huang World.
They had sent out many people, eager to know the specific situation.
However, under Zong Tianxuan's sword, no matter how many people there were, it was difficult to take a step forward.
Under the Martial Dao Divine Lord's sealing of the void, one would be trapped in all directions just by standing there.
