Although Ao Kong's question was a question, his tone revealed a hint of certainty.
Zhang Dongyun heard this and felt rather emotional.
Among the Twelve Kings of Hell, not everyone was close to each other.
At least Lei Han, who was ranked fifth, and Ao Kong, who was ranked eleventh, were often at odds.
But the two also had rare moments of agreement.
That was, they were not on good terms with Ye Qingpeng, who was ranked third.
In Ao Kong's view, Ye Qingpeng and Lei Han were too scheming. Whether they were truly of the same mind as the other brothers was a question mark.
As for Lei Han and Ye Qingpeng, to a certain extent, they were of the same gender and repelled each other.
After so many years, after confirming the betrayal of Yang Li and Ying Xiaowo, and after Lu Xueyuan's betrayal, everyone gradually calmed down about the broken brotherhood.
Naturally, there was still anger and even hatred.
But it was not like when it first happened, everyone was in disbelief.
Today, if Ao Kong were to look back and pick out a few suspects of betrayal, besides Lei Han and Yang Li, the person he suspected the most would be Ye Qingpeng.
Although he was not in the Yan Huang World just now, through Zhang Dongyun's arrangements, Ao Kong heard Chu Xinglin's words clearly from the Wu Ming World.
Hearing that Ye Qingpeng had secretly contacted the Buddhists of the Western Region and leaked the news of the Immortals, Ao Kong could now accept it calmly.
Of course, under this calmness, there was anger and killing intent.
"Although Chu Xinglin can't produce any evidence, it's probably not wrong."
Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "These years, I have investigated many times. Chu Xinglin's words can be used as circumstantial evidence."
In the hall, Su Po sighed softly.
Shen Herong frowned slightly at first, but after hearing Zhang Dongyun's words, his expression calmed down.
He looked calmer than Ao Kong.
But behind the calmness was a cold and resolute severing of brotherhood.
In front of Zhang Dongyun, there were three light illusions. One came from Ao Kong, and the other two came from Daoist Yu Qing and Zong Tianxuan.
Zong Tianxuan was as silent as Shen Herong.
After spending so much time with Zhang Dongyun, Shen Herong, and the others, coupled with the influence of Chu Yaoguang's memories, she was now getting closer to Zhang Dongyun and the others. Her relationship with Chu Yaoguang was not inferior to the relationship she had with Chu Yaoguang back then.
Although he didn't have many conflicts with Ye Qingpeng, Ye Qingpeng had betrayed Zhang Dongyun and the others. He had also betrayed Chu Yaoguang's trust.
At this moment, Zong Tianxuan could not help but feel a common enemy.
However, she did not express it in words. She only made up her mind to make another enemy besides Fu Tianshu.
"Later, I'll go to the southeastern Yang Heaven to look for him."
Daoist Yuqing's voice came, "Chu Xinglin persuaded the people of the Song Dynasty to withdraw and mentioned that the people of the Song Dynasty would temporarily give up after Ananda's return. He was just hoping that we would have internal strife with Ye Qingpeng."
Indeed, if Zhang Dongyun and the others were to choose an opponent, the most urgent enemy to settle accounts with would undoubtedly be Ye Qingpeng.
If the Great Song Dynasty really retreated, many people in Chang 'an would immediately kill their way to the Great Qi Dynasty in the southeastern Yang Heaven.
On the other hand, for Ye Qingpeng, at this moment, his most threatening enemy was no longer the Great Xia Dynasty in the southeastern Yang Heaven. It was Ao Kong and the others who wanted to skin him alive.
To be able to sit and watch the two rising forces of the Eastern Cang Heaven and the Southeastern Yang Heaven fight, it was naturally the easiest thing for the old masters of the two universes to do.
To be honest, Chu Xinglin was not trying to sow discord between the Great Qi Dynasty and Chang 'an.
He, and the entire Tianhu Academy, from Sage Yan to the ordinary disciples, were all against the militaristic Great Qi Dynasty that disregarded the people's livelihood.
On the contrary, after hearing some rumors about the Eastern Cang Heaven and Chang 'an, most people in the Tianhu Academy felt that although Chang' an was also domineering, the people under its rule lived in peace and was a rare place of benevolence.
This was also because the Eastern Cang Heaven did not have a good reputation for Chang 'an.
When he arrived at Chang 'an in the Yanhuang World, although he did not visit it in detail, Chu Xinglin was already full of praise.
If Chang 'an City really went on an expedition to the Southeastern Yangtian to compete with the Great Qi Divine Dynasty, then regardless of what the Great Xia Divine Dynasty planned to do, Chu Xinglin had the intention of urging the Tianhu Academy to help Chang' an instead of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.
Chu Xinglin had a thought in mind that he was not ready to say.
Not to mention the Great Qi Dynasty, even the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty were not as good as Chang 'an …
Chu Xinglin did not say this out loud, but Zhang Dongyun already knew it clearly.
However, this did not affect his decision.
"Don't let your guard down on the Song Dynasty."
Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "Some people's stubbornness and stupidity often exceed expectations."
Daoist Yu Qing smiled slightly.
To him, controlling the Primeval Auspicious Cloud, Jiu Xiao Huan Pei, and the Four Symbols Immortal Slaying Formation to fight against the five experts at the same time was dangerous, but it was also an opportunity for a final breakthrough.
Now that Chu Xinglin had interrupted, it was not a good thing.
However, he was a straightforward person in this aspect, so he did not take it to heart.
As for Zhang Dongyun's judgment about the Great Song Dynasty, he agreed with it in his heart.
Daoist Yu Qing knew about the existence of Daoist Xuan Qing.
And the Daoist 17th Realm Peak Grand Luo expert also came from the southeastern Yang Heaven.
He joined forces with the Kui Cow Clan and the Great Song Dynasty, and the current situation became delicate.
Shen Herong finally spoke, "Big brother, with Fourth Brother in the Great Song Dynasty, I would like to leave the Eastern Cang Heaven for a few days and go to the southeastern Yang Heaven."
Su Po said, "I'll go with you."
Zhang Dongyun looked at the two of them, "Seeing is believing. Of course it's good, but you have to be careful. If you have a trace of luck in your heart, it will hurt you."
Su Po and Shen Herong nodded, "Big brother, don't worry. We understand."
Zhang Dongyun continued, "The news about the fragment of the Immortal World has spread not only in the Eastern Cang Heaven, but also in the southeastern Yang Heaven. When you travel outside, you have to be vigilant."
Su Po and Shen Herong nodded together.
A seemingly meaningless sound came from Ao Kong's illusory realm.
It was as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not open his mouth and swallowed his words.
"If it wasn't about Ye Qingpeng, I wouldn't have transmitted my voice to you at this time. You also know that your seclusion has reached a critical moment." Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
Ao Kong heard and laughed, "That bastard has become the Ancient Emperor. No matter what, his strength is not weak. If I don't seize the time to cultivate, I will only be asking for humiliation if I look for him. Compared to watching you crush him to death, I would rather take revenge with my own hands."
At the end, Ao Kong's voice revealed a hint of savagery.
As a great demon who cultivated the Demonic Way, his murderous nature and hostility were no longer concealed.
Zhang Dongyun did not say anything on the surface, but secretly curled his lips.
Chu Xinglin's plan was good, but he did not expect that City Lord Ming could not go to the southeastern Yang Heaven to settle the score with Ye Qingpeng.
Now was not the time for Chang 'an to start a war with the Daqi Dynasty.
On the contrary, Shi Daoru, Demon Martial Artist, who had completely fallen out with the Eastern Cang Heaven, was Chang 'an's real opponent now.
In the southeastern Yang Heaven, other than the Daqi Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Heavenly Lake Academy, there were other powerful forces, including Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing.
The Daqi Dynasty was able to fight against the Great Xia Dynasty and the Heavenly Lake Academy, most likely because they had local allies.
If Chang 'an really went there, it was hard to predict how those local tyrants would react.
Of course, if they could lure Ye Qingpeng to the Eastern Cang Heaven or even to the Invincible City, it would be a different story.
Before that, Master Zhang did not intend to be disrupted by the changes in the outside world.
Chu Xinglin was slightly disappointed with this result.
But Su Po and Shen Herong followed him back to the southeastern Yang Heaven, which was already a worthwhile trip.
Daoist Yu Qing was still guarding the border of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zong Tianxuan and other Chang 'an experts took down the worlds under the Great Song Dynasty's rule.
Although some of the local experts in these worlds escaped, Zhang Dongyun's Guardian Experience Points still increased crazily because of this.
Sixty to seventy thousand Guardian Experience Points entered his account, allowing Master Zhang to wave his hand and build two more Satellite Cities.
So far, seven of the eight Satellite Cities needed for the first expansion of the universe had been built.
On the other hand, Zhang Dongyun's experience points were still at 14,200.
To build the last Satellite City, he only needed 15,800 Guardian Experience Points.
Master Zhang looked at the System's numbers, and his gaze became more and more passionate.
…
Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing did not return to Thunder Valley immediately.
He stood quietly in the void of the universe, deep in thought.
Chu Xinglin suddenly came to the Eastern Heaven, which made him confused for a moment.
Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing observed from afar for a moment and pinched his fingers to calculate. The result made him frown even more.
The Heavenly Lake Academy was actually walking together with Chang 'an City?
This was once again beyond Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing's expectations.
After a while, Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing tried to send a message back to the Nine Dragons Temple in the southeastern Yang Heaven.
During the time he left the southeastern Yang Heaven, something major must have happened there.
A moment later, he had a thought and returned to Thunder Valley.
The owner of this place, the current leader of the Kui Cow Clan, Tai Ting, had already returned and was waiting for him.
"Brother, what exactly happened in the southeastern Yang Heaven?" Tai Ting asked in a deep voice.
Slowly, Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing said, "I didn't investigate this matter and left the southeastern Yang Heaven to travel for many years. Before I left, I ordered my disciples to seal the mountain and not cause trouble, which led to the lack of news."
He said tirelessly, "In recent years, there has been a martial arts expert in the southeastern Yang Heaven. He rose in a short period of time and dominated for a while. So he is also one of the twelve Yama Kings from the Eastern Heaven."
Hearing this, Tai Ting's eyebrows twitched, but he was not in a hurry to speak.
Sure enough, Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing continued, "Recently, his identity was exposed. On the other hand, he and the other twelve Yama Kings in Chang 'an seem to have turned against each other …"
Tai Ting, the leader of the Kui Cow Tribe, said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Although it's a good thing that Chang 'an City and the Qi Dynasty have internal strife, it's too much of a boost to the morale of others. The matter of the Immortals fragment has become even more uncontrollable."
Dao Ancestor Xuan Qing said, "Brother, you are right."
As the two were chatting, a Kui Cow came in and reported, "Ananda Bodhisattva of Buddhism has returned to the Eastern Heaven and is heading to the capital of the Great Song. The Song Emperor has invited the leader to attend the alliance meeting again."
