[Random Guardian Mission 3.3 — Kill or capture Fuzhen Guan Elder Jiang Zhaoning who has entered the city.]
Zhang Dongyun was about to order his men to take him down when he suddenly saw Jiang Zhaoning's abnormal behavior.
He couldn't help but blink.
What kind of show was this?
Lingxiao School's Ren Yichao had once mentioned that the Cheng family mediated the dispute between Fuzhen Guan, Mirror Moon Tower, and Qingbokgung, with the intention of joining forces to deal with Chang 'an together.
So who was this person now?
But why was it only Jiang Zhaoning?
Judging from his strange behavior of sneaking in, he seemed to be scouting the way.
But after putting on an act for a while, he turned around and left. This kind of action was quite thought-provoking.
Zhang Dongyun pondered for a moment. In the end, he didn't take Jiang Zhaoning down but let him leave.
Then, he calmed himself down and waited patiently.
Jiang Zhaoning, dressed in the Illusory Mist Robe, turned into a cloud of smoke and flew into the Dragon's Ridge, but he didn't go any further.
Remembering Abbey Dean Daoist Zhichen's instructions, he stayed in the forest after confirming that no one was following him.
After pretending to wait for a while, he flew out of the Dragon's Ridge.
Returning to Mr. Mingxi and the others, Jiang Zhaoning turned back into a human from the cloud of smoke and reported:
"There are people patrolling the city, but they aren't on high alert. Most of them are Third and Fourth Realm martial artists.
The old devil who entered the secret cave in our monastery's territory is nowhere to be seen. He's probably still recuperating from his injuries.
But there seems to be another leader in the city. He should also be a Seventh Realm martial artist. Plus, we can't underestimate him. "
Jiang Zhaoning didn't know if there were any other masters in Chang 'an.
From Xie Zhao to Tang Chi to Elder Yunchen, all the Fuzhen Guan members who visited were detained and didn't send back any useful information.
But since Blood Shadow was seriously injured, Chang 'an could still take down Mirror Moon Tower, Qingbokgung, and Elder Yunchen, then there must be other masters in Chang' an besides Blood Shadow.
Mr. Mingxi and the others could also think of this point, so Jiang Zhaoning naturally wouldn't lie.
However, whether or not he was a level-seven cultivator could only be discussed when they met later …
"Is there anything like a maze or poisonous fog?" Mr. Mingxi asked.
"Maybe, but I didn't encounter any."
Jiang Zhaoning chose his words carefully. "There are ordinary people working in the city. Perhaps they will only use the Maze Formation and Poison Fog when facing enemies."
Mirror Moon Tower's Elder Yao Kui said, "Then all the more we have to make a sudden move and finish the job in one fell swoop so that the city won't be able to react in time."
Mr. Ling Ping, Cheng Luo, looked at Mr. Mingxi, Cheng Jingyuan, and said, "Sixth Uncle, haven't the Sikong Family arrived yet?"
Mister Mingxi said, "According to the previous news, they are already on their way. However, it seems that they won't be able to make it in a short period of time."
Yao Kui, Daoist Jing Tong and Jiang Chaoning were slightly moved when they heard that.
The Sikong family, together with the Cheng family, was one of the six great families of the Eastern Tang.
However, the Cheng family passed down Confucianism, while the Sikong family passed down Kung Fu.
Yao Kui and others were not surprised that the Sikong family would send people here.
It was rumored that the Sikong family had a deep conflict with the former Chen family.
The Chen family ended up like this because of the Li family of the Eastern Tang. Besides, the Sikong family also contributed a lot to it.
Chang 'an accepted a large number of exiled Chen family members. On the other hand, the Sikong family, which strived to eliminate the root of the problem, would not sit idly by.
However, the Cheng family and the Sikong family seemed to be joining forces this time, which made the Mirror Moon Tower, Fuzhen Guan and other forces slightly concerned.
The Cheng family was the mother clan of the current Heir of the Eastern Tang.
The Sikong family was the mother clan of Commandery Prince Sushou, the second son of the King of Tang.
In recent years, Commandery Prince Sushou had been competing for the position of Heir of the Tang family.
The relationship between the Cheng family and the Sikong family was tense because of this.
But now, they were actually joining forces?
"How about this? I will attack the city with Elder Yao, Daoist Jiang, and Daoist Jingdao. Sixth Uncle, please wait here for the Sikong family and then support us," Cheng Luo suggested.
Mr. Mingxi looked at Yao Kui and others.
Everyone was silent.
Cheng Luo suggested that Mr. Mingxi, Cheng Jingyuan, stay outside the city. On one hand, he wanted to wait for the Sikong family. On the other hand, he wanted to observe from the outside.
If Chang 'an was stronger than they expected and they were all trapped inside, then at least there would be someone outside to support them or contact other reinforcements in time.
This arrangement was not without reason.
The problem was, who would stay outside?
Everyone naturally wanted others to charge at the front while they were in a relatively safe position.
But in that case, no one would go forward.
Although Cheng Luo suggested that his uncle stay outside, he volunteered to charge at the front with others, so no one had any objections.
"Should we wait for the Sikong family to arrive before we act together?" Daoist Jingdao suggested.
Yao Kui shook his head, "A long delay may cause trouble. If we stay in the range, we may be discovered by them in advance. If we are overcautious, we will miss the opportunity."
"Then let's go." Mr. Ling Ping, Cheng Luo, bowed to Mr. Mingxi, his uncle. Then he led the Cheng Family to Longling Ridge.
Mirror Moon Tower and Qingbokgung also set off.
Although Jiang Zhaoning didn't want to get involved, he had to do it on the surface. He immediately led several disciples of Fuzhen Guan to follow them.
"Everyone, be careful. I wish you success." Mr. Mingxi politely sent them off.
A large group of people, like Dark Cloud, came to the mountains of Longling Ridge.
When they came to the foot of the mountain, Jiang Zhaoning said,
"They may have eyes and sentry posts at the foot of the mountain. I was alone just now, so I was not afraid. But now we need to block their eyes and ears first."
Cheng Luo, Yao Kui, and Daoist Jingdao all nodded slightly.
Jiang Zhaoning immediately ordered the disciples of Fuzhen Guan, who were proficient in magic, to work together to confuse the people in the town outside Longling Mountain.
In order to avoid Cheng Luo and others' suspicion, Jiang Zhaoning still went into the mountain with them.
Daoist Jiang Zhaozhang had been to Baiyunyuan when he was young when he traveled outside. But he didn't expect that when he returned, it was so dangerous as if he was treading on thin ice.
Led by him, a group of people quietly came to Baiyunyuan.
"Fellow Taoist Jiang, please use the Yuzhen Skill to gain the upper hand first. We will follow and do our best." Daoist Jingdao looked at Jiang Zhaoning.
Jiang Zhaoning cursed in his heart, but said emotionally, "Then I will embarrass myself first. I hope I can fight for a chance for you."
"Thank you." Everyone said.
Jiang Zhaoning waved his sleeve and turned into a cloud again.
He was a cultivator in the sixth realm of Meditation. His soul could leave his body and travel far away. His magic arts were more powerful.
But he didn't dare to entrust his body to Cheng Luo and others, so he merged his soul with his body and hid with the help of the Illusionary Mist Robe.
The cloud entered Baiyunyuan and approached the city of Chang 'an.
Suddenly, a colorful light flashed in the clouds.
Wherever the multicolored misty radiance went, people's minds and thoughts turned, instantly becoming still.
It was Fuzhen Guan's secret art, the Yuzhen Skill.
Seeing that Jiang Zhaoning didn't hide anything and used the Yuzhen Skill to suppress the enemy's soul, Cheng Luo, Yao Kui, and Daoist Jingdao all rushed to Chang 'an.
