"Eighth sister?"

When Su Po heard this, he frowned slightly and thought deeply.

"Eighth Sister said that although she was injured when she came out of the Immortal Relic, she was not seriously injured to the point of seeking reincarnation and rebuilding her body." Shen Herong said slowly.

Su Po nodded slightly.

For martial arts masters like the eldest brother Ming Tonghui, him and Chu Yaoguang, reincarnation and re-cultivation are very difficult, which is far less convenient than Taoism, magic and other practitioners.

For them, reincarnation and rebuilding are also a matter of narrow escape and they should be avoided if possible.

"According to what she said, it was because I killed her with a sword that she was forced to reincarnate and rebuild her life?" Su Po asked softly.

Ao Kong nodded: "That's what she said."

Su Po was silent.

Shen, Rong and Ao Kong all raised their heads and looked at Zhang Dongyun above.

Emotionally speaking, they were unwilling to doubt Su Po and Chu Yaoguang.

But in this case, what happened at the beginning does not make sense.

Su Po's state after coming out of seclusion was not that he was in a state of madness, killing everyone on sight.

"According to your state at that time, you probably wouldn't be able to recognize the eighth sister." Zhang Dongyun looked at Su Po and said calmly.

In other words, even if Chu Yaoguang was actually a traitor like Yang Li and Ying Xiaowo at that time and assassinated Ao Kong and others, and his traces were discovered by Su Po, Su Po, who had wiped out all his past, would not react.

On the other hand, Chu Yaoguang would not have been silenced because he discovered that there was something fishy in Su Po.

Su Po shook his head slightly: "I really don't remember, but I probably couldn't recognize the eighth sister at the beginning, just like I didn't realize the identity of the twelfth sister not long ago."

Zhang Dongyun thought deeply.

According to the judgment of the Invincible City system, they are all true.

Based on the conclusions drawn from Su Po's swordsmanship and his retreat training methods, he must have been in a state of annihilating his past and feeling like he was not himself in the past few decades.

In this situation, he couldn't recognize Chu Yaoguang as normal.

"Brother Qi, do you remember that you have been to Taiqing Palace before?" Shen Herong suddenly asked.

Su Po shook his head: "I have no impression. I may have been there, but in that state, I went there. It shouldn't be because Taiqing Palace had plotted against you in Xianji, so I went to settle accounts with them. I just recovered the memory before the retreat, and listened to Twelve Sister, what you said means that I know what happened in the fairyland."

...So, why did you make that trip in the first place?

Zhang Dongyun, Shen Herong, Ao Kong and even Su Po himself all had doubts in their minds.

"It's nothing serious. We'll talk about it after the eighth sister comes back." Zhang Dongyun was thoughtful, but he didn't say much and just said: "Seventh brother has recently made a breakthrough. Let's stay in seclusion for some time to recuperate."

Su Po nodded: "Brother, this city is rich in spiritual energy, surpassing anything I have seen before. It is truly a holy land for spiritual practice."

"Little sister takes seventh brother to choose a place to live." Shen and Rong left with Su Po.

Ao Kong stayed in the hall and turned to look up at Zhang Dongyun.

Zhang Dongyun said slowly: "Seventh brother, there is no problem."

Ao Kong was not happy when he heard this, and sighed rarely: "That means there may be something wrong with the eighth sister?"

"Don't worry, everything will come to light soon." Zhang Dongyun said.

Ao Kong nodded, then hugged Zhang Dongyun and said, "Boss, I will also practice in seclusion for some time."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Dongyun knew that the other party was going to retreat and should not be disturbed in a short period of time, so he nodded slightly: "Let go and do what you want."

Aokong said goodbye to him, and then went straight to get the demon blood of the phantom mirage. Then, he returned to his retreat and could not escape.

Zhang Dongyun stayed alone in the main hall, stood up from his seat, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly.

He looked towards the west.

Its vision extends all the way beyond the eastern border, across the deserted sea, and all the way to the middle of the country.

At the edge of the Invincible City above the Middle Earth, Zhang Dongyun continued to look westward.

This time, I couldn't see very far and was quickly blocked by mountains and rivers.

Zhang Dongyun frowned slightly and looked away.

In the Daming Palace, he sat down on his throne again, and then browsed the system task list:

[Construction Task 9.1 - Invincible City currently spans two continents and one sea. It is inconvenient to communicate between China and Eastern Xinjiang. Please ask the city owner to strengthen the construction of cross-sea transportation and strengthen the connection between China and Eastern Xinjiang]

[Multiple ports and fleets in Central and Eastern Xinjiang were successfully established. Exchanges between the two continents met initial needs. The city owner successfully completed the construction task 9.1 and received an upgrade experience reward of 3,000 points]

Zhang Dongyun nodded with satisfaction.

It was the right decision to prepare an ocean-going ship from the beginning.

As the number of real Taoists in the Ninth Realm of Eastern Xinjiang increases, and as large swaths of land in the Middle-earth region come under control, a large number of Taoist disciples in the Middle-earth region surrender. Chang'an City not only has more people deploying cross-sea formations, but also can establish mobile formations for ocean-going ships.

There are also more and more people practicing the law.

Most of the land of the Ning Dynasty, Jing Dynasty, and Yin Dynasty in the east of Central China was occupied by Chang'an City, and the ports along the coast were no exception.

Zhang Dongyun has been strengthening exchanges and connections between China and Eastern Xinjiang from the first moment.

Of course, if he wanted to, he could directly merge the two places into one and eliminate the tens of thousands of miles of desolate sea between them.

Or, single-handedly build a bridge across the ocean between the two places.

Within the confines of Invincible City, these are all easy tasks.

But now the news is leaking out in Chang'an City, and outsiders know that he has such magical powers. Some people may kneel to him directly, but some people are afraid that they will run away so that he can't find anyone anymore.

What's more, given the character of City Lord Zhang, he has always said that giving people a fish is worse than teaching them how to fish.

To put it bluntly, he wants the people below him to be more active and respectful to him, rather than him feeding food into other people's mouths one by one.

Of course, the construction tasks still need to be completed.

However, the increasingly developed maritime transportation can gradually meet the demand.

Zhang Dongyun refreshed the system task list, and a new construction task came into view:

[Construction Task 9.2 - The scope of Invincible City has expanded rapidly, and the population under its jurisdiction originally belongs to many countries. It is more difficult for the inherent government departments to perform their functions. The city owner is requested to further deepen the construction]

Zhang Dongyun nodded slightly, which was also the intended meaning of the title.

Each time Invincible City expands, its size will quadruple in all aspects.

Calculating the area alone, it is sixteen times.

At first glance, it seems inconspicuous.

But after several expansions, it has now reached an extremely exaggerated number.

Intuitively speaking, it has also included the entire Eastern Border and the surrounding wilderness seas in all directions, and occupied the middle-earth side.

Even if the sparse population in the Deserted Sea is negligible, the population figures in Eastern Xinjiang and Central China are extremely exaggerated.

The size of the three major dynasties of Zhongtu, the Jing Dynasty, the Ning Dynasty, and the Yin Dynasty, in terms of total population and number of practitioners, were much larger than those of the Seven Kingdoms of Eastern Xinjiang in the past.

Not to mention the Jing Dynasty and the Ning Dynasty, the general team of the former rulers of the Yin Dynasty has been almost completely preserved.

Not counting Lou Ning and Chu Xin, the two top masters of the Thirteenth Realm, there were hundreds of other members of the royal family and important officials from the outer court.

If you pick any one and send it to Eastern Xinjiang, you can put Zhuo Sui, Li Qiong and other local managers under great pressure.

Since the exchanges and connections between the two places are to be strengthened, corresponding laws and regulations and corresponding enforcers are also essential.

Right now, City Lord Zhang has no shortage of manpower.

Su Po entered the city and found out his true identity. One of his major impacts was the liberation of Chu Xin, a great scholar who was now on the front line.

Chu Xin is a master in the Thirteenth Realm. He has been on the front line with Lou Ning and others, competing with the powerful men of the Daning Dynasty and Yansheng Palace.

For a Confucian master in the thirteenth realm, being on the front line can naturally play a huge role.

But for the current Chang'an, he is in charge of all aspects of government affairs and is more irreplaceable.

In terms of cultivation strength, he still wants Zhao Shu, the dean of Gao Yu Mingde Academy.

Although Shen Herong is talented and trusts Zhang Dongyun more, Zhang Dongyun still hopes that she will focus on her own cultivation first, return to her former peak state as soon as possible, and even make further breakthroughs.

Under such circumstances, it would be a happy event for Zhang Dongyun to be able to replace Chu Xin from the front line.

Like new construction tasks, he can completely hand them over to the other party and Zhao Shu.

Xu Xingzhi and other old members of Tianshu Hall assisted.

It was also a test for Xu Xingzhi to go from being able to hold great power and act alone to now being a helper for others.

However, according to Zhang Dongyun's previous observations, the other party should be able to adjust his mentality well and complete the task.

For him, it would be beneficial to accompany Zhao Shu, Chu Xin and others from the 12th and 13th realms on errands.

Being dormant temporarily can lay the foundation for soaring into the sky in the future.

With Su Po here, not only Chu Xin, but also Lou Ning, Long Te and others can actually withdraw from the front line.

But there is no rush for now.
