"The emergence and growth of Chang 'an is because of the Immortals?"
Saint Lu looked at Anan Bodhisattva.
Bodhisattva said, "At least, it has a lot to do with it. But now we don't know how much they got from the Immortals and what they got."
Saint Lu put his hands behind his back and muttered to himself, "If we leave them alone, we will never know what they have. And … as time goes by, I'm afraid there will be more changes."
Bodhisattva Anan said, "You're right. We may be a step behind."
A step behind would mean a step behind.
Arhat Kongshan sighed slightly in his heart.
When Saint Lu heard his description, he could tell that Chang 'an City's strength was obviously increasing greatly.
Otherwise, Chang 'an wouldn't have been so stable in the Yanhuang World. They would have gradually expanded from the Dongsheng Divine Prefecture and gradually suppressed the Saint Evolving Mansion and Buddhism.
If they had the ability to defeat so many masters above the 14th realm at the beginning, they would have unified the Yanhuang World in the blink of an eye. It would be faster than the Extermination Sword Sect unifying the Wu Ming World.
But unfortunately, they couldn't stop them at their initial stage.
What was more troublesome was that this growth trend was likely to continue.
"A Daoist once mentioned that Chang 'an's biggest reliance might be the Daoist array." Bodhisattva Anan said, "Now that I think about it, Chang 'an's expansion is gradual. That Daoist's guess is not unreasonable."
Saint Lu expressed his doubts. "Most Daoist arrays borrow the power of the universe and utilize the geographical advantage. If Chang 'an is relying on arrays, then the Yan Huang World won't be able to support such a powerful array.
Drawing on the power of the universe and stars will cause a huge commotion. Although my disciples are not talented, they should be able to see it from afar. They can't continue to run into it. "
Bodhisattva Anan said, "This might be the contribution of the Immortals' Fragment."
Saint Lu said firmly, "We can't ignore it. Bodhisattva, are you willing to go to the Yanhuang World with me?"
Bodhisattva Anan nodded, "Of course, but we can't be too hasty. To be safe, it's better to find some fellow Daoists to discuss countermeasures."
Saint Lu glanced at Arhat Kongshan. "Didn't you say that Benevolent Bodhisattva wouldn't participate?"
Bodhisattva Ananda said, "Someone from the Taiyi Sect was also trapped in Chang 'an."
Saint Lu shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Hong Qing isn't around. I'm afraid the Great Celestial Sect won't be able to contact him for the time being."
"That is indeed the case. However, with the help of fellow daoists from Extreme Celestial Sect, it will be beneficial for us to break the formation."
Bodhisattva Ananda said, "In addition, the Taiyi Sect is facing a calamity. We're lending a helping hand. When Fellow Daoist Hong Qing returns in the future, we'll meet again."
Saint Lu raised his eyebrows slightly. "Zhao Kuangming? Has he found a way to break the Extreme Celestial Sect's Four Symbols Creation Formation? "
Bodhisattva Ananda smiled bitterly. "I just received the news that the Extreme Celestial Sect's Four Symbols Creation Formation might have been lost … Yes, it might have been lost in the World of Yan Huang. The news was leaked. His Majesty, Emperor Song, went to the Extreme Celestial Sect. The mountain gate of the Extreme Celestial Sect has already been breached, and the disciples are fleeing in all directions."
Saint Lu didn't reveal a gloating expression on his face. Instead, he looked solemn. "So Shaoqing, Mingxuan, and the others went to Yan Huang with the Four Symbols Creation Formation. If the Extreme Celestial Sect is careless this time, Fellow Daoist Hong Qing's orthodoxy will be ruined."
But to be honest, the Extreme Celestial Sect couldn't be blamed entirely.
Before he came to the Doushi Academy, most people didn't realize that the situation was so serious. The World of Yan Huang's Chang 'an was actually so powerful.
Even Saint Lu himself felt that the danger premonition in his heart wasn't without reason.
If the Extreme Celestial Sect wanted to blame someone, they could only blame Spiritual Master Xue and the other Celestial Lords for not coming out in full force to set up the formation.
But in fact, the formation set up by Spiritual Master Shaoqing and the other Heavenly Lords was already quite brilliant.
Chang 'an City could break the formation and take it all down. It was very likely that there was a 17th realm expert in charge.
If the Extreme Celestial Sect was really worried about Emperor Song's attack, they might as well bear with the World of Yan Huang's anger and not let the Four Symbols Creation Formation's formation leave the mountain.
In the end, they still underestimated Chang 'an City. They thought that Spiritual Master Shaoqing and the others would be able to take down Chang' an easily with the formation's formation.
In the end, they didn't rely on either side and lost everything.
"I want to go and mediate. Saint, please persuade His Majesty Emperor Song together," Bodhisattva Ananda said.
Saint Lu nodded. "Alright."
After a slight pause, the tall man said, "I remember that you mentioned before that there were the so-called Twelve Kings of Hell in the World of Yan Huang?"
He looked at Arhat Kongshan. Arhat Kongshan put his palms together. "Saint, that's right. However, among the Twelve Kings of Hell, there were one, seven, eight, eleven, and twelve in Chang 'an. The other two and three are missing. The sixth, Lu Xueyuan, converted to Buddhism and was killed because of Chang' an. The ninth, Benefactor Ying, also died in the hands of the people of Chang 'an."
Arhat Kongshan pondered and replied, "The fifth, Benefactor Lei, and the tenth, Benefactor Yang, may have died because of the internal strife among the Twelve Kings of Hell, but it's not confirmed yet. As for the fourth, Benefactor Li, although he joined forces with the Buddhist Sect, his mind is mysterious and his true intentions are hard to predict. We still have to be careful."
Saint Lu said calmly, "Find him and investigate his background. As for the other two whose whereabouts are unknown, we must find them too."
He looked at Bodhisattva Ananda. "Carefully screen the Eastern Firmament. Find out all the signs similar to what happened in the World of Yan Huang."
Bodhisattva Ananda nodded. "You're right."
When the City of Chang 'an rose in the World of Yan Huang, they didn't notice it in time. As a result, they couldn't get rid of it now.
Whether it was Saint Lu or Bodhisattva Ananda, they didn't want something similar to happen again.
The World of Yan Huang was enough of a headache for them.
They didn't want any accidents to happen behind their backs when dealing with the City of Chang 'an in the World of Yan Huang.
When the Immortals collapsed, everyone scattered. There was no lack of people like Li Shulou and Lei Han who were scattered in the void.
The two of them gradually went back to the World of Yan Huang, but there were still people whose whereabouts were unknown.
They couldn't treat these people as dead.
Who knew if they had the so-called fragments of the Immortals in their hands?
If they left them alone, they might become a disaster.
Even if they had to focus on dealing with the City of Chang 'an for the time being, they had to at least grasp the information of the remaining people.
Arhat Kongshan said, "Benefactor Lu Xueyuan, who is also Martial Niece Jinghua who converted to Buddhism, said before she was killed that Daoist Li of Taoism could open the door to the ruins of the Immortals. It might not be done by Daoist Li alone. There might be another Daoist master behind him."
Saint Lu was expressionless. "It can't be Daoist Hongqing. If he came back, it's impossible for him to sit back and watch his mountain gate be destroyed by Zhao Kuangping."
Slowly, Bodhisattva Ananda said, "Maybe it's a Daoist from outside the Eastern Firmament?"
