"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The Blood Shadow Old Demon replied respectfully:

"The old slave will tell them to prevent the other party from retreating into the barren sea, and strive to encircle and suppress them on the shore. ”

Zhang Dongyun had no choice but to give a "hmm".

To the east of Dongjiang is the sea and the ocean.

But in fact, to the south and north, there are also large areas of sea.

It's just that the feet of the South China Sea are warm, and the northernmost border of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the north is the Sea of Ice.

And the eastern mainland goes west, the careful end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and even the westernmost end of the Western Chu Dynasty, is also near the sea.

The ocean that goes to the west is traditionally called the barren sea.

The barren sponge stretches endlessly, not much worse than the ocean in the east.

Dongjiang is far away from the middle earth where Taiqing Palace, Jiufeng Academy, Zhongyue Temple, Lingguang Temple and other places are located, separated by the sea and far away from each other.

Only a high-level cultivator can fly on his own.

Most of the rest had to rely on special sea vessels to cross the oceans.

However, because the distance is too far and the supply is inconvenient, it is extremely rare to see similar ships.

There is no such thing as isolation between Eastern Xinjiang and China, but to say the least, there is very little contact.

However, there are many islands off the coast of the eastern mainland.

Among them, there is no shortage of suitable places for people to live.

The royal families of the Western Zhou and Western Chu and their entourages may also retreat to the sea if they really have a bad foothold on the mainland.

The natural conditions at sea are harsher than on land, and there are more disturbance factors.

Not to mention that ordinary officers and soldiers can't get there, there are also many objective obstacles for cultivators to cross the ocean to attack the island.

Unless the strength is crushed, it is far from being easy on land.

However, if you have to say, it is not easy on land.

The other party has more than one Ninth Realm master, united at the moment, and his strength is actually quite strong.

It's just that none of them can help the beetle snake who is also in the ninth realm.

The Snake Meteor practiced the method given by Chang'an City, and his strength was quite strong.

Although he has not completely lost his hybrid characteristics, he can already use some magical powers that only pure-blood beetles can have, and he can give full play to his power.

So the beetle snake was the leader, so Yun Mo, the owner of Tang Qingxia Villa, Zhuo Sin, the head of the Zhou Huanglei Sect, and Cao Ranran, the dean of the Zhou Xiyuan Academy, and the four masters of the Ninth Realm, pushed over from the land of the Western Zhou Dynasty together.

The Western Zhou Dynasty had no choice but to retreat.

They pushed to the westernmost part of the Eastern Continent, and when they were close to the barren sea, they were surrounded by a group of masters in Chang'an.

Just when it was in danger, a savior suddenly came to the sea.

Under the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has always been friendly with the royal family, almost equivalent to the legal pirate of the martial arts famous Bi Ray Island, and has always dominated the western barren sea.

At this moment, they rushed to the rescue from the sea in time, so the fleeing people successfully entered the sea from the shore after paying a certain price for casualties.

The beetle snake meteor does not like to deal with water, and Zhuo Sin, Yun Mo and others pursue it, but they are not familiar with the sea conditions.

In the end, the other party successfully escaped.

Everyone felt a pity, but also had no choice but to order people to impose martial law on the seaside, keep an eye on the movement of the sea, and then reorganize the interior of the Western Zhou Dynasty, completely pacify all parties, and restore people's production.

After everything was roughly settled, Zhuo Sin was entrusted to Yun Mo and other people of the Tang Dynasty, and temporarily guarded the Western Zhou Dynasty.

He went to Chang'an to meet with Cao Ranran, the cloud account of Xiyuan Academy, and other people from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After the Eastern Tang Dynasty and Western Chu fell into the hands of Chang'an, it is now the turn of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the major sect forces in the Western Zhou Dynasty began to have different choices.

Like Xiyuan Academy, the number of people who took the initiative to serve Chang'an began to increase.

There are large and small sects.

Among them, not everyone is qualified to go to Chang'an City for an audience.

Those who can be selected are the most influential local big families and big sects.

Zhang Dongyun projected Mr. Wuyun and arrived in the Tianshu Palace.

Here, he met six people.

Five stood, one forced to kneel.

Mr. Wuyun's gaze fell on the kneeling old man first.

Although the other party was pressed by Zhuo Sin and couldn't move, he still glared at Mr. Wuyun angrily, and his face was unyielding.

"You are violating my territory of the Great Zhou, even if you succeed for a while, you will definitely be exterminated in the coming day" The old man shouted loudly: "Heaven is clear, and retribution is not happy!"

He turned his head and glared at the five Zhuo Sins standing beside him: "You people who work for the tiger, not even one of you can escape!"

Mr. Wuyun's expression was calm, unmoved, and he looked at Zhuo Sin.

"Mr. Yu, this person is Xu Yunming, the dean of Jingyin Academy, who was captured in Xiasheng, and his person is stubborn and refuses to surrender. Zhuo Sin replied.

Mr. Dark Cloud nodded slightly.

The Eastern Tang Dynasty once had three major academies: Baima, Tingshan and Songyang.

In the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were also three major academies, namely Xiyuan Academy, Zhengxiao Academy and Jingyin Academy.

Among them, Xiyuan Academy has always been unpopular with the Western Zhou royal family.

Xiyuan students were also few officials in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and most of them concentrated on studying behind closed doors.

Zhengxiao Academy and Jingyin Academy have a relatively close relationship with the royal family.

The two major academies have a large number of teachers and students, who are officials in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

A large part of the court of the Western Zhou Dynasty were students of these two families.

Among them, there is no shortage of King Zhou's balance left and right, and the mind of using the two academies to restrain each other.

Internally, the king of the outer Zhou Dynasty in turn supported Zhengxiao Academy and Jingyin Academy, governing Confucianism with Confucianism, and using it to clamp down on Xiyuan Academy.

This time Chang'an attacked the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the two of them did their best to be loyal to the king and protect the king.

As a result, the president of Zhengxiao Academy, together with a small number of teachers and students, went to sea with the Western Zhou royal family to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Chang'an.

And the dean of Jingyin Academy was captured by Zhuo Sin in the war.

"Throw it to the Temple of Heavenly Punishment. ”

To Xu Yunming, the dean of Jingyin Academy, Mr. Wuyun didn't care, and only ordered Zhuo Sin to take him down.

Xu Yunming was about to scold again, but he found that he couldn't speak, so he could only be taken away by Zhuo Sin in silence.

There were four men left in the temple.

One of the elegant old men, after seeing Xu Yunming's appearance, shook his head slightly and sighed.

On the one hand, he pitied the other party and couldn't bear it, and on the other hand, he felt that the other party was insulting.

Mr. Dark Cloud's gaze fell on this old man.

The elegant old man waved at him: "Cao Ranran, Xiyuan Academy, I have seen Mr. Wuyun." ”

Mr. Wuyun bowed slightly: "Dean Cao's right choice is worthy of appreciation. ”

After Zhuo Sin took Xu Yunming, the dean of Jingyin Academy, away, there were four people left in the hall, and only this elegant old man was the ninth realm.

Mr. Wuyun didn't need to ask, he knew the identity of the other party.

Dean of Xiyuan Academy, Cao Ranran, the first master of Confucianism in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"The old man is here, and he needs to confess to the Chang'an City Lord and Mr. Wuyun first. ”

Dean Cao opened his mouth at this time and said: "Old man has been to Hexi County under the rule of Chang'an before. ”

When Zhang Dongyun of Daming Palace heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.

When the person arrived in Hexi County, he, the city lord, didn't know, which meant that the other party came before the sixth expansion of Invincible City.

After the sixth upgrade and expansion, the entire Hexi County was included in the system.

If he didn't enter the range of Invincible City, City Lord Zhang naturally couldn't find him.

He is a great Confucian in the ninth realm, he is silent and acts in a low-key manner, and it is difficult for the Chang'an cultivators of Hexi County to detect his whereabouts.

In the Tianshu Palace, the other three people all looked at Cao Ranran a little outside.

Mr. Dark Cloud looked the same as usual, just looking at each other quietly.

Cao Ranran said: "The old man came alone, because he heard about Chang'an, so he wanted to come to see how the people here lived, and after reading it, he found that His Majesty Zhenmingjun is also better than Gao Tiankai of the Northern Qi Dynasty and Ji Fang of the Western Zhou Dynasty, as for Li Xuanxin of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it is not to mention." ”

Mr. Wuyun asked indifferently, "In that case, why didn't you wake up until now?"

Cao Ranran smiled bitterly: "Let Mr. laugh, the old man was injured at the hands of a blue-clothed scholar in the eighth realm, and he had to recuperate for some days." ”

In fact, there is an element of self-humility in his words.

The other party was also injured by him.

It's just that the other party recovered from his injuries much faster than him.

"Zhou Wangji always keeps an eye on the old decay, and the old decay has to keep a low profile these days, so as not to prevent Chang'an from coming, and other teachers and students in the academy will be implicated because of the decay. ”

In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun listened and smiled slightly.

The blue-clothed scholar that Cao Ranran said undoubtedly refers to the student of Jiufeng Academy, Zhang Zhongxing.

This guy came from the barren sea in the west, landed in the eastern frontier, and then began in the Western Zhou Dynasty to find a famous Confucian to learn.

Or, more appropriately, challenge.

Cao Ranran was the first person to practice Confucianism in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Zhang Zhongxing naturally would not miss it.

After he walked through the Western Zhou Dynasty, he came to the Eastern Tang Dynasty again, and ended up fighting with Hong Xiao, the president of the White Horse Academy.

Later, he didn't have a chance, and was directly detained by Zhang Dongyun, and now he is still working as a coolie.

This person was born in the Jiufeng Academy of Middle Earth, studied under the Confucian Wenzong, and his own talent is good.

Although he is in the eighth realm, he does have the strength to fight with Cao Ranran in the ninth realm.

A middle-aged scribe beside Cao Ranran suddenly spoke: "Old Cao, that blue-clothed crazy fellow, have you ever been to your courtyard?"

When Cao Ranran heard this, he nodded: "I've been here, and the old man told him that Zhang Xiaoyou went all the way to the east." ”

The middle-aged scribe was the head of the Wang family in Lianyuan County of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Wang Xuan.

"He also came to Wang's house. After a pause, Wang Xuan continued: "Next, he continued to go east. ”

The Western Zhou Dynasty continued to the east, and it was naturally the head of Chang'an.

Wang Xuan said: "This person's cultivation is higher than that blue-clothed madman at the beginning, at least the ninth realm, the cultivation of the world. ”

"No, he's a grandmaster. Cao Ranran said in a deep voice at this time.

In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun's brows furrowed slightly.

Therefore, in the land of the Tang Dynasty, I didn't see Zhang Zhongxing's fellow doormen coming.

The other party's high-profile move successively landed at the door of Xiyuan Academy and the Wang family, obviously looking for it all the way in the order of Zhang Zhongxing's challenge.

White Horse Academy and Songyang Academy are gone.

But Tingshan Academy is still there, and I haven't heard of him coming to the door.

Where's this kid?

Wait a minute......

Zhang Dongyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Liyangguan is also in the east of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the whole is close to the direction of Chang'an.

Ying laughed at me when I was in Liyang Temple before, would he stop the Confucian master from Jiufeng Academy in the middle of the way?
