White Horse College, the He family, the Zheng family, and the Hu family gathered and tried to stop the flow of refugees to Chang 'an.
Xu Xingzhi, Hu Ming, Guo Zi, and the others tried to break out with the people.
The people on the ground moved slowly, and the six masters fought fiercely in the air.
On the other side, there were other people watching from afar.
The leader was King of Tang's fourth son, Prince of Qingyuan, Li Dang.
The masters of Songyang Academy, Baihong Peak, Mirror Moon Tower, and Qingbokgung followed behind him.
"Unfortunately, to prevent them from discovering us, we can only stay further away."
Li Dang looked at the storm in the distance. "If we stay further away, they won't discover us, but we won't be able to see the details of the battle."
Songyang Academy Director Fang Wu also looked in the direction of Longling.
"But we can confirm that Mr. Zhao and the other three Seventh Realm masters have all joined the battle.
Although Chang 'an is retreating, they are advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. This means that White Horse College hasn't completely gained the upper hand. "
"Of course. Otherwise, Mr. Mingxi and the others wouldn't have been defeated. Chang 'an's strength is not to be underestimated," Prince Li Dang said.
Qingbokgung Elder Taoist Xuan Feng turned to look at Mirror Moon Tower Elder Lin Xiaoxiao, but didn't say anything.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked calm. "The people outside Chang 'an probably aren't at their full strength. It'll be more difficult to attack the city."
Li Dang nodded. "That's why we invited that person to come with us."
He glanced at the back from the corner of his eye.
There was a huge carriage with a black cloth draped over it, making it airtight.
But from time to time, there were strange sounds.
The disciples of Qingbokgung, Songyang Academy, Mirror Moon Tower, and Baihong Peak were all forcefully restraining themselves from turning their heads to look at the mysterious carriage.
However, it was clear that everyone was very concerned about it. They suspected that there was some sort of danger hidden within.
Li Dang and the other leaders naturally knew that the person in the carriage was Purple Sun.
This old devil had lived in seclusion for many years. Once he came out of seclusion, he looked normal, but he would suddenly reveal a terrifying aura as if he was about to devour someone.
"This old demon is really dangerous. The Secret Pavilion has bad intentions for keeping him. His Majesty and the other princes need to be careful."
Slowly, Daoist Xuanfeng spoke.
"Royal Brother and Imperial Tutor need to preside over the capital while Royal Father is away, so it's difficult for them to move about." Li Dang, the Commandery Prince of Qingyuan, sighed. "If it weren't for this, my brother and I wouldn't be willing to release this old devil."
He turned his head to look at the Dragon Ridge in the distance. "However, we can treat it as fighting poison with poison. It can be put to good use here."
Elder Huang Zhi of Baihong Peak shook his head. "It's a pity that there is also a big devil in Yechuan County in the south. He has attracted the attention of the Dean of White Horse College. Otherwise, if he appeared instead of Zhao Ning, it would be much easier to attack Chang 'an."
Daoist Xuanfeng asked, "I heard that he is cultivating the Devil Ape Transformation?"
Huang Zhi nodded. "There is indeed such a rumor."
Slowly, Songyang Academy Supervisor Fang Wu said, "In the northeast, Lingxiao school has also been making a lot of movements recently …"
Huang Zhi let out a long sigh. "Troubled times indeed!"
"Now that the Tang Empire is at war with foreign enemies, our internal defenses are weak. That's why some rascals dare to jump out one after another."
Li Dang said, "When Royal Father and the rest return to the capital, this mess will not be a problem. However, for now, we will have to trouble all of you to share the burden of the Tang Empire."
Everyone around him said in unison, "Your Highness is too serious. We will do our best."
Li Dang looked into the distance. Slowly, the battlefield there was moving closer and closer to the Dragon's Ridge.
The azure-colored pearl in his hand suddenly flashed with light.
Li Dang took out a piece of paper and wrote a few words. Then, he asked King of Tang for instructions. "Follow closely into the mountains?"
The Green Sky Eye emitted a light that shone in the air, revealing the words on the white paper.
"Yes."
Although he knew that King of Tang could not hear him, Li Dang still bowed out of habit and replied, "Your Highness."
He handed the Green Sky Eye to Songyang Academy Supervisor Fang Wu.
"Elder Fang, you are a great scholar of the seventh realm. Your writing is much better than mine. You should keep this treasure safe. In times of crisis, you can use it to communicate with Royal Father."
Fang Wu took the sky blue pearl and said, "Your Highness is too polite."
Everyone then resumed their journey and headed towards the Dragon's Ridge.
On the way, they still carefully controlled their speed and maintained a distance from the four families of White Horse College.
The alliance of the four families in front of them fought with the people of Chang 'an. After a long time, they finally began to enter the deep forest of the Dragon's Ridge.
Li Dang and the others, who were following far behind, remained calm. After both sides entered the mountains, they sped up slightly and also approached the mountains.
They stopped again at the edge of the forest.
Li Dang looked at the primeval forest in front of him and muttered, "The terrain in the mountains is much more complicated. The rebels of Chang 'an have been operating here for a long time. Mr. Mingxi and the others who were trapped here did not send out any specific information about the situation inside. We should explore the way first …"
Fang Wu, Huang Zhi, and the others nodded slightly. "Your Highness is right."
Mirror Moon Tower Elder Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. "It's dangerous to explore the way. Let me do it."
Li Dang smiled and waved his hand. "Although Elder Lin is skilled in martial arts, as you said, exploring the way is very dangerous."
He stopped Lin Xiaoxiao, but Lin Xiaoxiao was not at ease.
He seemed to be concerned about her safety, but in fact, he still showed his distrust of Mirror Moon Tower.
He was afraid that she was in cahoots with Chang 'an, pretending to explore the way and tricking them into a trap.
"Why don't we ask him to go?" Baihong Peak Elder Huang Zhi glanced at the carriage covered in black cloth.
"This old man's situation is special and uncontrollable. It's better not to let him act alone."
Qingbokgung Elder Xuan Feng said, "Let I go."
He looked around at everyone. "Please take care of I's body."
Li Dang clasped his fist. "Thank you, Elder Xuan Feng. Don't worry about your body. I will personally protect you. As long as I'm still alive, no one will be allowed to come close."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Fellow Cultivators."
Elder Xuan Feng said and immediately sat down cross-legged. His soul left his body.
His body seemed to have entered a meditative state. Four Qingbokgung Cultivators rushed over and guarded the four directions.
Li Dang and the others also guarded the outer area. They saw a dark red flame flash in the air.
Dao Being Xuan Feng's soul left his body and entered the mountains of the Dragon Ridge.
The path itself was very clear and there was no need for him to search.
Elder Xuan Feng only needed to follow the path that was opened and go up.
Soon, he could vaguely see the figures of people in the mountains.
The alliance formed by White Horse College and the other three sects were chasing after the refugees that Xu Xingzhi and the others were protecting.
Daoist Xuan Feng immediately slowed down once more and followed from afar.
He could vaguely see Blood Shadow and Chen Jiezhi attacking. They were fighting two against four, blocking He Zhen, Zhao Ning, Zheng Yuan and Hu Yingjie.
When Elder Xuan Feng saw this, he frowned.
Old Demon Blood Shadow was one thing. In his impression, Chen Jiezhi did not have such powerful strength.
He was too far away and could not be sure if Zhao Ning and the others were holding back.
If they were, then they were aware of Li Dang and the others' plan. They were waiting for Li Dang and the others to join the battle.
Elder Xuan Feng frowned slightly and hesitated if he should go closer to observe.
Zhao Ning and the others did not realize that Elder Xuan Feng's soul was following them.
However, they did know that Li Dang and the others were trying to take advantage of them.
White Horse College and the other three sects also had their own plans.
If Blood Shadow, Xu Xingzhi, Hu Ming and the others could not withstand a single blow, they would just finish them off.
If Chang 'an was really powerful and difficult to deal with, then they would wait outside Chang' an and wait for Li Dang and the others.
In short, Blood Shadow and the other evil sects must be eliminated, but Li Dang and the others must not have the chance to take over two sects.
However, it seemed that Chang 'an was not weak.
Blood Shadow had not left the mountain for more than twenty years. Although he was still at Realm Seven, he did not waste any time.
His demonic arts were much more refined than before.
What surprised Zhao Ning and the others was Chen Jiezhi.
In just a few months, he had not only broken through from Realm Six to Realm Seven, but his strength had also increased.
The martial arts he used were not the Chen family's original Tempest Palm.
However, it was much more domineering and powerful than the Tempest Palm.
The Zheng family and Hu family were both families that passed down martial arts. In the past, they were on par with the Chen family.
But now, Zheng Yuan's Mountain Pushing Palm and Hu Yingjie's Thunder Rushing Leg were both suppressed by Chen Jiezhi's Dragon Slaying Fist.
Zhao Ning and the others were shocked and doubtful.
Could Chen Jiezhi's martial arts have been obtained from Chang 'an?
It seemed that their estimation of Chang 'an had reached another level.
They could not attack Chang 'an rashly. They had to wait for Li Dang and the others …
Just as Zhao Ning and the others were thinking, someone in front of them suddenly cheered.
Zhao Ning and the others were stunned.
Blood Shadow transformed into a blood rain and swallowed the storm formed by Zhao Ning's brush and ink. When he turned to look, his face turned gloomy.
Chen Jiezhi looked out of the corner of his eye and saw an old man in black walking down the mountain path in the distance.
Chen Jiezhi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Mr. Dark Cloud.
The disciples of the Chen family and the Hanshan school who were escorting the civilians and fighting with the disciples of the four factions cheered in unison.
This caused many of the refugees and commoners to be at a loss.
The disciples of the four factions including the White Horse College were even more surprised.
But when they saw the enemy cheering, they immediately realized that the old man in black was also an enemy.
And he must be very powerful.
Zheng Yuan, the elder of the Zheng family, raised his voice and asked, "Are you the City Lord of Chang 'an?"
Not only were the enemies curious, but Hu Ming, who had never been to Chang 'an, also looked at the old man in black.
"I'm just a firefly. How can I be compared with His Majesty's brilliance?"
His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears.
Zheng Yuan's heart sank.
The old man in black who made the people of Chang 'an cheer was not the City Lord of Chang' an?
"You can take the civilians away. I'll take care of this."
Blood Shadow snorted. "If it weren't for these mortals, I wouldn't have let these bastards into the mountain."
Zhao Ning and the others were furious.
Mr. Dark Cloud, who was dressed in black, said indifferently, "You're too slow."
As he spoke, he raised his hands and opened his sleeves.
Suddenly, two Dark Cloud Clouds appeared.
The Dark Cloud Clouds rolled and produced a huge suction force.
The disciples of the four factions who tried to stop the refugees from moving forward suddenly lost their footing and were sucked into the Dark Cloud Clouds.
Zhao Ning, the Vice President of the White Horse College, was shocked. He quickly put down his brush and used his literary talent to stir up the Spirit Qi in the surroundings. It turned into a strong wind and blew at the Dark Cloud Clouds.
Then, the Dark Cloud Clouds continued to roll and expand, sucking in the students of the White Horse College one after another.
The disciples of the Zheng family, He Family, and Hu Family also suffered the same fate.
On the other hand, the refugees and the cultivators of Chang 'an who were near them did not move at all. They stood where they were and were not affected at all.
