Among the Twelve Kings of Hell in the past, five of them practiced martial arts.
Other than Lei Han and Su Po, who practiced both martial arts and demonic arts, the other three specialized in martial arts.
The first was the Evil Emperor, Ming Tonghui.
The third was the Azure Emperor, Ye Qingpeng.
The eighth was the Astro Emperor, Chu Yaoguang.
At that time, Chu Yaoguang was still at the 13th level, one step away from the 14th level of peak Martial Emperor.
As for the Evil Emperor and the Azure Emperor, they were both at the 14th level of martial arts.
When the two of them dominated the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and became famous in the Yanhuang World, they were recognized by most as the top martial artists in the Yanhuang World.
The Evil Emperor became famous earlier and was even more powerful.
The Azure Emperor's rise was even more sudden. Compared to the Evil Emperor, he kept a low profile, but no one dared to underestimate him.
Even if the Evil Emperor could defeat him, it would not be easy, and he did not have a 100% chance of winning.
In particular, the Azure Emperor had always been reserved. At that time, the brotherhood was very close, and no one doubted him.
But now that they thought about it, no one could be sure that the Azure Emperor did not hold back.
After the incident in the Immortals, he had disappeared from the Yanhuang World.
"He's in the Southeastern Yang Sky?" Zhang Dongyun looked at Chu Xinglin and asked calmly.
Chu Xinglin answered, "Yes."
He met Zhang Dongyun's gaze calmly and his expression was a little rueful. "It should be said that this Qing Emperor had already appeared in the southeastern Yang Heaven a few years ago. However, at that time, he used a fake name, Xu Fuyao. I and my fellow students in the Heavenly Lake Academy only recently found out by accident that he had been to the Eastern Heaven's Yan Huang World and had a history with City Lord Ming and the others.
Zhang Dongyun listened quietly. After Chu Xinglin finished, he said, "Xu Fuyao may not be a fake name."
Chu Xinglin could hear the playfulness in Zhang Dongyun's tone.
Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "From the moment I met him, I knew that he was not from the Yanhuang World. But now it seems that his hometown is further away than I expected."
Far away from the Eastern Heaven.
Most of the Twelve Kings of Hell did not have a master.
As for the Azure Emperor, Ye Qingpeng, from the moment he appeared in the Yan Huang Realm and made a name for himself, he was already a top Martial Emperor who stood above countless people.
His origin was a mystery.
Even the rest of the Twelve Yama Kings only knew that he came from beyond Flameyellow Heaven.
Ye Qingpeng never mentioned much about his hometown. He only said that his hometown had declined and he had no relatives or friends to worry about.
The others didn't want to get to the bottom of this and force him to answer.
Everyone might have their own secrets.
It was just like how Chu Yaoguang didn't mention the past of the Big Dipper Sect back then.
However, now that he heard Chu Xinglin mention what happened in the southeastern Yang Tian, Zhang Dongyun had a feeling that that might be where Ye Qingpeng came from.
"Over the years, he has returned to the southeastern Yang Heaven and is now the Azure Emperor," Chu Xinglin continued.
When Zhang Dongyun heard this, he immediately understood.
Generally speaking, once a martial artist reached the thirteenth or fourteenth realm and was called an emperor, they could be considered worthy of their title.
However, the meaning behind Chu Xinglin's words was clearly not limited to this.
The message was that Ye Qingpeng, or Xu Fuyao, had achieved the second-level Martial God Realm, which was the sixteenth level of the Martial Path, the Ancient Monarch Realm.
Not only did he rule over a part of the world and dominate a part of the world, but he was also an emperor of the past and the present, an expert who occupied the long river of time.
After the incident in the Immortals, many years had passed since Zhang Dongyun transmigrated to this world.
After so many years, Ye Qingpeng's cultivation had not remained stagnant, but had improved greatly.
Moreover, since the other party could improve to this level, his martial arts skills must be even purer.
According to the impression he had left on Zhang Dongyun, this person had reached the sixteenth level of the Martial Path and was definitely far superior to Wei Wan, Tian Gong, and the other ancient emperors.
At least, he was at the level of the head of the Big Dipper, Fu Tianshu.
Considering the existence of the fragments of the Immortals, Ye Qingpeng might have some unexpected changes.
Chu Xinglin said in a low voice, "In addition, the dean of our academy once said that he might already be at the peak of the sixteenth level and is about to advance to a higher level."
Above the sixteenth level was the peak of the Martial God Realm.
Human Emperor.
Hearing this, Zhang Dongyun's expression did not change at all. He asked, "You just said that he has been active in the southeast Yang Heaven for some time under the name of Xu Fuyao?"
Chu Xinglin nodded. "That's right. I'm ashamed to say that although they both use the name 'Emperor Qing', no one connected 'Emperor Qing' Xu Fuyao and 'Emperor Qing' Ye Qingpeng."
Zhang Dongyun nodded and did not say anything.
This was not the fault of the people in the southeast Yang Heaven.
The sixteenth level of the Ancient Emperor and the fourteenth level of the Martial Emperor were completely different concepts.
In one of the worlds in the southeast Yang Heaven, there might even be a peak Martial Emperor who also used the name 'Emperor Qing'.
Of course, after the rise of the Ancient Emperor Xu Fuyao using this name, the other people in the southeast Yang Heaven would definitely pay attention to this taboo.
"The Great Qi Dynasty he established has already fought many times with the Great Xia Dynasty, which originally had a foothold in the southeast Yang Heaven. The momentum of its rise is aggressive." Chu Xinglin introduced to Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun had an interested expression on his face.
Just like the Great Song Dynasty in the east Cang Heaven, there was also a Human Emperor in the southeast Yang Heaven who ruled the vast universe void.
The Emperor Xia of the southeast Yang Heaven became famous even earlier than the Emperor Song of the east Cang Heaven.
If a new martial arts expert rose up in the southeast Yang Heaven and intended to rule a region, Emperor Xia and the Great Xia Dynasty would be the first to suppress them.
However, not only was Ye Qingpeng not subdued, but he also established his own Great Qi Dynasty in a short time. How could this be called 'doing well'?
Not only did he stand tall, but he also recruited many talents, which was why the Great Qi Dynasty was prosperous.
"It was only when the Eastern Cang Heaven sent news about the Yanhuang World and Chang 'an that we guessed."
Chu Xinglin said, "After that, by chance, we confirmed that this Emperor Qing is the Emperor Qing, and Xu Fuyao is Ye Qingpeng."
Zhang Dongyun suddenly asked, "So, does the Tianhu Academy support the Xia Dynasty or the Qi Dynasty?"
Chu Xinglin met Zhang Dongyun's gaze and said calmly, "Under the rule of Emperor Xia, there were fewer wars in the various worlds, and all the countries were safe. Emperor Qing, on the other hand, was overindulging in military aggression. Therefore, we chose to help Great Xia.
Zhang Dongyun didn't care how the other party described himself. He just looked at the other party calmly.
"So, what are your plans for coming to Chang 'an today?"
Chu Xinglin didn't hesitate to help Chang 'an fight with the Great Song Dynasty and offend the Great Song Dynasty.
There was clearly an intention to build a good relationship with Chang 'an.
Did he want to ask Zhang Dongyun and the others to help mediate and persuade Ye Qingpeng to stop causing trouble and retreat from the southeast Yang Heaven?
Or was it that Chu Xinglin and the Tianhu Academy saw Chang 'an as reinforcements and wanted to invite them to help deal with Ye Qingpeng?
Yes, Ye Qingpeng had been in the southeast Yang Heaven for a long time and had already made a name for himself.
Chu Xinglin and the others had reacted when they heard about Chang 'an in the Eastern Firmament, but Ye Qingpeng and his Great Qi Dynasty didn't do anything.
It was as if they didn't care about Chang 'an and the Yan Huang World.
Although there was a traitor among the Twelve Kings of Hell during the incident of the Immortals, Ye Qingpeng's behavior could be explained as he didn't trust Chang 'an, so he didn't make a move.
However, how would Chu Xinglin and the others know that the Great Qi Dynasty had no contact with Chang 'an?
The normal reaction would be to worry that Chang 'an and Great Qi would rise in the Eastern Firmament and the Southeastern Yang Heaven respectively and then join forces.
Chu Xinglin and the Tianhu Academy seemed to be certain that the Great Qi Dynasty and Chang 'an would not be allies, but enemies.
"I'm here to invite the people of Chang 'an in the Yan Huang World to the Southeastern Yang Heaven to help us and the Great Xia."
Sure enough, after Chu Xinglin cupped his hands in salute to Zhang Dongyun, he said such words.
Thinking back to when the other party asked Wei Wan, Xu Jicheng, and the others to ask Ananda Bodhisattva for information, Zhang Dongyun already had a guess in his mind without using Invincible City.
In the face of Chu Xinglin's request, Zhang Dongyun didn't comment. He just looked at the other party quietly.
The other party must have something to say and give him an explanation.
Seeing that Zhang Dongyun wasn't angry, Chu Xinglin calmed down a lot.
He asked softly, "City Lord Ming, do you still remember Abbot Miaoxin?"
Zhang Dongyun's eyes flashed.
"The people of Longxiang Temple in the Western Region were killed back then."
In the Western Region of Dongsheng Divine Prefecture in the Yan Huang World, the Four Holy Monks participated in the incident of the Immortals. In the end, two died and two were injured.
The previous Abbot of Longxiang Temple, Master Miaoxin, died in the Immortals.
To Zhang Dongyun and the others, this was a person who was gradually disappearing in the river of memory.
But it seemed that it wasn't that simple.
Chu Xinglin, who was far away in the Southeastern Yang Heaven, might not have heard of the Buddhist monks in the Eastern Heaven.
But according to what he said earlier, he knew Abbot Miaoxin because of Ye Qingpeng.
The answer was obvious.
"We inadvertently knew the true identity of the Qing Emperor. It was also at that time that we coincidentally saw the secret treasure that the Qing Emperor used to communicate with Abbot Miaoxin in the Yan Huang World. That was how we learned about the incident of the Immortals and some inside information."
Chu Xinglin stared at Zhang Dongyun and said almost word by word, "It's a pity that the secret treasure was destroyed by the Qing Emperor. I couldn't bring it to City Lord Ming. But there were many strange things that happened back then. I believe City Lord Ming will have a conclusion."
The truth …
Although the physical evidence was destroyed, Chu Xinglin was still worried that Zhang Dongyun wouldn't believe him.
But Zhang Dongyun didn't need physical evidence. Through Invincible City, he could judge that the other party was not lying.
During the incident of the Immortals, besides Ying Xiaowo, who was ranked ninth, and Yang Li, who was ranked tenth, Ye Qingpeng, who was ranked third, also betrayed everyone.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dongyun remembered that "Celestial Wolf" Yang Li had mentioned that some people were unwilling to be under others.
At that time, he might have already known that Ye Qingpeng was also a traitor like him.
"We will go to the Southeastern Yang Heaven. But the time may not be as you wish," Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
Chu Xinglin nodded calmly. "Of course. I'm just here to inform City Lord Ming of the details of the incident and express our goodwill."
"Well said." Zhang Dongyun waved his hand. The projection of Mr. Dark Cloud led the other party to rest.
As soon as Chu Xinglin left, two more people appeared in the hall.
Su Po, Shen Herong.
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand in the air again, and three light images appeared.
One of them was the voice of Ao Kong from the Wu Ming World.
"Is it really Ye Laosan?"
