“Chaoge City is a long journey away. Even if we rush there without any obstacles, it will take at least half a month. When the army passes, there will definitely be scouts. How can we attack?”
“There are countless citizens of Shang Nation in Chaoge City. Even if the city gate is opened according to the agreement, who knows if the army will be trapped like a quagmire?”
“How can Di Xin be unguarded? As long as the troops here move, the Shang army will definitely sense it. If they attack from both sides, my army will probably be in danger.”
Late at night, in the Zhou Army camp.
The subordinates who were good at observing people remained silent when some ministers said that the sneak attack wasn’t reliable.
Ji Fa frowned and his eyes lit up.
Ji Fa looked at Guang Chengzi, who was sitting beside him. He stood up and said firmly, “Di Xin is ruthless and brutal. Today, we should raise our troops and attack! Now, the Zhou Army can only fight in the hundreds of thousands. From now on, we will go all the way to Chaoge City. There are more than a million Shang soldiers! The surprise attack is the only chance for the Zhou Army. No matter how the immortals help, the troops are insufficient. Where is the Grand Tutor?”
Jiang Shang, who did not say anything, stood up and answered, “I’m here.”
“The Grand Tutor leads the army and is in the middle of deployment. I need to deploy all the elite troops, horses, chariots, and strange beasts. The Grand Tutor needs to lead the remaining troops here to attract the attention of the Shang army. I’ll lead the elites to circle around the Wind Valley in the west and all the way to Chaoge City!”
Ji Fa’s voice was indescribably firm.
Jiang Shang said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, is the person who made the agreement trustworthy? That envoy just now did not even reveal his master’s name. Really…”
Ji Fa smiled and said, “With the immortals of Chan School as insurance, I’m not worried.”
Guang Chengzi also said, “Your Majesty, you only need to lead the army. I will arrange everything. Although we immortals cannot directly interfere with the changes in the royal authority of the mortal world, we can help the King gain some benefits and increase the strength of the horses to kill the generals. I will also protect the King during the surprise attack on Chaoge City. I will ensure that nothing goes wrong.”
“Alright!”
Ji Fa said firmly, “Dear ministers, you don’t have to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind. Prepare the troops tonight and feign an attack tomorrow. I will lead the army to attack Chaoge City!”
The ministers lowered their heads and accepted the order. Guang Chengzi nodded slightly.
Jiang Shang pondered for a while and asked, “Your Majesty, Chaoge City is filled with people from the Shang Nation. Although Di Xin is violent… he is supported by the Shang Nation. If Your Majesty attacks Chaoge City, hundreds of thousands of troops will probably not be enough.”
In the corner of the tent, the old man in embroidered clothes who had accompanied Guang Chengzi took half a step forward and bowed.
“However, please send your troops. The civilians of Shang in the city will definitely not make things difficult for you. My master is already prepared.”
Jiang Shang said, “Great Lord, what if this is Di Xin’s scheme?”
“Jiang Shang.” Guang Chengzi frowned slightly. “Do you not even believe me?”
“Jiang Shang wouldn’t dare.”
Jiang Shang lowered his head and knew that no matter how worried he was, he could not change anything tonight. He could only bow to King Wu of Zhou and sigh.
“Your Majesty, I’m willing to follow you. Lord Ji Dan can feign an attack with the army. I can only feel more at ease by your side, Your Majesty. I can also set up battle array strategies and provide support in time.”
Ji Fa pondered for a while and nodded slowly. He said seriously, “That’s safer. Thank you.”
“I’ll mobilize the elites now. I’ll look for Lord Ji Dan to remind him about the defense.” Jiang Shang bowed and asked to leave. The white-haired old man was also walking quickly.
At noon the next day, the Zhou Army split into two groups. They feinted on the front one way and attracted the attention of the Shang army. On the other hand, they moved south and quickly disappeared from the Shang army’s line of sight.
After searching for a few days, Yu Muye found traces of the Zhou Army and hurriedly reported to Chaoge City.
Fei Lian wanted to deploy troops to encircle and suppress them. However, the speed of the army’s march was rare. Before he could set up defensive lines everywhere, the other party had already pierced into the Shang Nation’s hinterland and forced their way to Chaoge City!
Chaoge City was gloomy.
The memorial ceremony of the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty was imminent. However, Di Xin, the ministers of the Shang, and the others would definitely be tired from rushing around. There was no need for them to abandon the city and leave.
In the King’s Hall, dozens of Shang Army generals knelt in front of the hall and asked the leaders to attack the Zhou Army.
After thinking carefully, Di Xin ordered Lian Fei and his son E’lai to personally lead the army.
However, the problem followed.
Chaoge City could not send out any troops. At that moment, the number of troops that were left was the lowest in defending Chaoge City.
Therefore, Di Xin ordered for the young slaves in the city to be recruited. If they won this battle, all the slaves who participated in this battle could get rid of their slave status, obtain money, land, and walk freely in Chaoge City.
Overnight, hundreds of thousands of young men responded.
The “reserve capital” of Chaoge City had been used. The people of Shang had gathered countless rations and cloth armor. In a short period of time, they had gathered hundreds of thousands of new troops and led tens of thousands of elites to the battleground not far from Chaoge City.
Mu Ye.
The new army had been marching for a few days. Under the guidance of the merchants, they had already understood the meaning of “attacking the drums” and “withdrawing the troops”.
Behind the Zhou Army, which was marching too quickly, there were armies chasing after them. As long as they intercepted the Zhou Army, they would not be able to use them. Chaoge City would naturally be safe.
On that day, dark clouds filled the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of troops appeared on the horizon. The wheels were rolling and the horses’ hooves were galloping. The hundreds of thousands of troops emitted a kind of murderous aura. They stood in the wilderness and formed an array with the Shang army.
The Zhou Army did not set up camp or bury the pot. They picked up the rations and water beside them and ate their meals. At first glance, they did not seem tired at all.
On the contrary, Ji Fa, who was sitting in the war chariot, had his eyes closed and his face pale. Although there were soldiers taking care of him, he looked like he was about to faint.
That was the reaction that a person who was forced to serve as a soldier should have.
In front of the Zhou Army, Jiang Shang sat on the back of the four odd beasts. He scanned the Shang Army formation in front of him and could not help but nod.
He looked at the soldiers of the Zhou Army behind him and sighed helplessly.
How could Jiang Shang not know what was going on?
A few days ago, on the first night that the army rested, when he was resting in the tent, Senior Brother Guang Chengzi found him and placed a treasure pouch in front of him.
At that time, he and Guang Chengzi sat across a long table.
“Senior Brother, what is this?”
“Abyssfall Pill.”
Guang Chengzi said in a low voice, “In the battle between the ancient human race and the Demon Court, there were thirty thousand Demon Soldiers who willingly fell and burned their demonic souls to overthrow the Demon Heavenly Courts. When Xuanyuan and Chi You fought, Chi You’s tribe had few soldiers, but they were strong. In order for the human race to fight against the Half-Magi, Xuanyuan ordered the alchemists to refine such an Abyssfall Pill that could stimulate the potential of the human race. However, there is one thing. The Abyssfall Pill is prepared for Qi Refinement cultivators. Now, the Zhou Army are just mortals.”
Jiang Shang’s fingers trembled. “Senior Brother, is it really appropriate for mortals to use this?”
Guang Chengzi said, “There are 300 Abyssfall Pills here. They can be melted into the water drunk by the army. After consuming it, the mortals would not feel tired and would see an increase in their combat strength in the next month. They would have endless energy. After the medicinal effects wear off, mortals will fall asleep for a few days, but they will not have any problems.”
“Is there really no problem?” Jiang Shang asked.
Guang Chengzi smiled and said, “Then, Junior Brother, what problems do you think there will be?”
“Although my cultivation is shallow, I only understand the upper limit of the power of mortals. Unless this is a Nine Revolutions Spirit Pill with a perfect intent, it will consume the lives of soldiers after they have an endless amount of energy for an entire month!”
Guang Chengzi was silent.
“Senior Brother,” Jiang Shang said softly, “This matter will damage your morals!”
“Ah.” Guang Chengzi closed his eyes and sighed. “Junior Brother, we have no other choice. If Di Xin wins the battle between the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Jie School will gain victory out of thin air. When the disciples of Jie School appear, they will be unstoppable. There are only a few hundred disciples of the Jade Void Palace in Jie School. We can’t miss a single step. We can’t miss a single step. The battle of Mu Ye is the battle of destiny between Zhou and Shang. As long as Ji Fa destroys Chaoge City and charges into the palace, he can snatch the position of the ruler of the South Continent. It would not matter if Di Xin escapes. Junior Brother, the fates of Chan School and the Zhou Nation are all tied to you.”
Jiang Shang was silent. He held the treasure pouch, feeling as if it weighed 500 kilograms.
“Senior Brother, how much lifespan will it consume?”
“Fifteen years.”
“I need to let them know about this.”
“Junior Brother, you can’t,” said Guang Chengzi. “The morale of the army will definitely fluctuate. I naturally know to distinguish what is more important. This is a matter that concerns building a strong foundation for Zhou.
Moreover, they have already entered deep into the Shang Nation. There are pursuers behind them and pincers in front. If they do not march quickly, the hundreds of thousands of people would just die straight away.
Junior Brother, the world has been troubled for a long time.”
Jiang Shang suddenly grabbed the treasure pouch and gritted his teeth. “That’s the bitter business of the feudal lords! This is just a battle for the position of the feudal vassals. Why are we getting the commoners involved!?! Senior Brother, please! I will make a decision before dawn.”
Guang Chengzi nodded with a smile. He was not angry at Jiang Shang’s expulsion. His figure disappeared with the wind.
That night, Jiang Shang’s hair turned even whiter.
However, before dawn, Jiang Shang sighed and used his merits to summon the various military stoves. He placed the “Bone Strengthening Immortal Pill” in the drinking water and reported the matter to Ji Fa.
The effect of the Abyssfall Pill was indeed terrifying. Mortals would actually gain the power to tear tigers and leopards apart.
Sigh…
Jiang Shang raised the wooden whip high, and the sound of drums sounded from all directions.
Ji Fa stood up from the carriage rack and took a deep breath. He forced himself to stay focused and drew his sword from his waist. He was surrounded by the generals and led to the front.
“Everyone, listen up!”
Ji Fa shouted loudly. His voice was spread hundreds of kilometers by the immortals beside him.
“The ancients said that a country is bound to be doomed in the hands of a female ruler. Today, the King of Shang is being used by his wife. He is muddle-headed and unrestrained! He is foolish! Only the four Daoist factions fled. They worshiped and respected. They believed and led. They are tyrannical to the common people and are snitches of Shang. Today, I will respectfully punish you. Today’s matter will not be stopped easily.
Everything you do will be destroyed!”
“Note: This is the Oath of Mu Ye.”
In front of the Zhou Army, a soldier turned to look at the veteran beside him and asked softly, “What is the King talking about?”
“Why do you care so much?”
The veteran glared at the person who spoke. “Just do it!”
At that moment, Ji Fa raised the sword in his hand.
“Everyone, attack!
Let’s go to Chaoge City!”
The three armies agreed. The war chariots rolled and the warhorses neighed. The Zhou Army pressed forward and charged forward.
They charged towards the Shang army like a flood.
In the Shang army, many generals suddenly felt that something was amiss. However, before they could react, Zhou Jun had already arrived!
…
In the tea room in the forest of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou frowned and stared at the burly Daoist in front of him.
“Grandmaster.”
“This is not a scheme of mine,” Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said warmly. “Since I’m playing games with you here, I won’t make any arrangements. Ever since you killed the Saints in the battle of the Shang Dynasty, you have walked this path. You have killed Zhun Ti and advanced to the ninth Sequence of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, you are close to Jie School. What will the disciples of Chan School think if Zhao Gongming enters the Heavenly Courts and enters the top ten of the Heavenly Dao Sequences? Guang Chengzi is not good at fighting but has a good Dao Realm. However, he is focused on how to deal with the crisis of Chan School. He is not as good as you. You can easily escape the calamity and watch the world from the perspective of a bystander. He is involved in the situation. In his anxiety, he can’t help but use some extraordinary methods. Changgeng, this is the power of the general trend.”
Li Changshou sneered and said calmly, “Grandmaster, aren’t you being too clean?
Is this the general trend? If not for the big picture and the destiny set by you, how could there be such a huge trend? Although it is inappropriate for Senior Brother Guang Chengzi to plot against Jiang Shang’s karma, I will settle it with him later. However, under Grandmaster’s arrangements, Senior Brother Guang Chengzi can only have two or three options. The person in the situation is wrong, but the person who set it up is the root of the sin.”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun nodded slowly.
“You’re right. From the perspective of the people in the situation, that’s indeed the case. However, Changgeng, I can no longer stand in the trap. I have no desires. Everything I think about is for the benefits of the world. What I do is only the longevity of the world. This is… the price of the Dao Integration.”
Li Changshou was speechless.
He quickly said, “Grandmaster, I’ve been thinking for a long time. If the stars have a will, can they understand and communicate with living beings? From the looks of it, it should not be possible.”
“Oh? Why?”
“Aren’t you just an example?”
Li Changshou sighed softly and continued to look at the sand table in front of him. From the sand table, scenes were projected in his mind and he could see the situation everywhere.
Although the Shang army had many slaves, the new army separated and resisted.
However, the Zhou Army was unstoppable. They charged through the Shang army like a flood. In less than half a day, they gathered again and attacked Chaoge City overnight!
Rumors spread in Chaoge City.
“King Wu of Zhou has sent the Heavenly Fate. The Divine Armament has descended. The Shang Nation is gone.”
“The sacrifice of divination. The Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou is the son of the heavens.”
“There are millions of soldiers in the Zhou Army. All of them are in a killing frenzy. A general is eating a human in public!”
“King Wu of Zhou has ordered that we will not kill the commoners or the nobles. We attacked Chaoge City only to take revenge on our grandfathers, fathers, and elder brothers!”
Li Changshou saw that the undercurrent that surged under Chaoge City surged everywhere overnight. The situation in Chaoge City had completely lost control.
The guards of the wealthy families went out to disrupt the security in the city. Private soldiers and Qi Refinement cultivators in black clothes had already begun to attack the city gate of Chaoge City.
There were also bandits running around and starting fires.
The civilians who were at a loss jumped out and shouted that the old officials of Di Xin had been immoral. They suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys and shouted that Di Xin had been abandoned by the ancestors of the world…
“What is this?”
Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “Human strength is no match for immortal spells?”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun shook his head slightly and said, “This is the darkness of the human heart.”
“Grandmaster, do you want to persuade me not to worry too much about living beings?”
“That’s right. Even if you fight the Heavenly Dao for them, they will not be grateful to you or be respectful to you.”
Hong Jun said calmly, “The hearts of living beings are so greedy. For their own selfishness and their own pleasure, they would not care about the lives of others. You’re thinking about how to fight for freedom for living beings. I’m thinking about how to let living beings live longer with the world. I pondered for an extremely long time. In the end, I realized that lowering the desires of living beings is the only answer. Freedom needs to be restrained. Letting it go will only cause calamity.”
Li Changshou said, “That doesn’t follow the rules of the world.”
Hong Jun shook his head slightly. “In the face of the temptation of freedom, humans can’t restrain themselves.”
“However, a group can do it. When an individual’s actions are restrained by the moral bottom line and rules formed by the group, they can be indirectly restrained when they avoid evil and become a group hostage.”
“The evil of living beings is only concealed. As long as you lure them slightly, they will erupt. You have not eliminated the hidden dangers.”
“A group not only blooms with the evil of living beings but also the good of living beings.”
Li Changshou said, “An individual with a mature mind will understand that what we see is not only good but also evil. That is reality. What we have to do is to attack evil and promote good. We have to protect the living environment of this group. Grandmaster, you seem to have tried to use Senior Brother Guang Chengzi as an example to convince me. However, Guang Chengzi cannot represent all living beings. He cannot even represent the small circle of immortals of Chan School. Grandmaster, our ideals are fundamentally different. Good and evil coexist. Why can’t the world be more tolerant of the good and evil of living beings? The Heavenly Dao is supposed to be impartial. Grandmaster, as a scout, you should be guiding living beings to do good. Why did the Heavenly Dao merge with Grandmaster and choose to suppress living beings?”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun sighed and said, “If you are in my position, you will naturally understand.”
“Such useless words again.”
Li Changshou said, “If Grandmaster can tell me the exact reason, I will immediately bring people away from the Primordial World and transform into one of them. I will become the Heavenly Dao and help Grandmaster.”
A sharp glint flashed in Dao Ancestor Hong Jun’s eyes.
“Grandmaster, you can’t say it.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “The world has no sentience. How does it cause trouble?”
“Let’s watch the show.”
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun looked a little dissatisfied, but he did not flare up. He closed his eyes again and did not say anything.
Li Changshou shook his head and stared at Chaoge City again. His gaze landed on the palace.
…
“Your Majesty, the people in the city are panicking. Rumors are spreading everywhere! The bandits are setting fire everywhere!”
“King! Ji Fa came prepared. There are traitors in the city who are working with him!”
“The Zhou Army is extremely strange. Every single one of them actually has the courage to betray! Those immortals must have used some methods! Otherwise, the generals would not have retreated in defeat!”
“Please hide, Your Majesty!”
“Please hide, Your Majesty!”
Under the throne, the ministers of the Shang Nation knelt on the ground and kept shouting.
On the throne, Di Xin stared at the gloomy sky that was dyed orange by the flames outside the hall door.
“Did I do something wrong… Did I trust the wrong person?”
“King!”
Bi Gan rushed over from outside the hall. He did not care about his panting and shouted, “Your Majesty, please move to the east immediately! The elites of the Shang army are marching to the east! This battle is not your fault or the soldiers’ fault! However, as long as you avoid today’s calamity, we can attack from the east tomorrow and take back Chaoge City! The people of Shang will definitely not let you down!”
“Shut up!”
Di Xin suddenly shouted, stood up, and cursed, “How can I be that cowardly and escape the King!?! I’m not afraid of that Ji Fa!”
“King!”
Bi Gan said firmly, “We cannot be impulsive now. The foundation of the Shang Dynasty depends on you!”
“The ancestors are all watching me! The ancestors are all watching me!”
Di Xin’s eyes were bloodshot. “I’ll personally lead the troops. I want to fight Ji Fa!”
Bi Gan shouted, “Your Majesty, the Shang army has not lost!”
“Report—The Western City has failed to defend against the enemies. The Zhou Army has broken through the city gate and is heading towards the palace! There are countless troops!”
“King! Leave first!”
“We can’t fight for a moment!”
“Shut up!”
Di Xin roared, “Get lost, all of you!”
“Your Majesty.” Bi Gan walked forward quickly. “Zi Shou! Wake up!”
“How bold of you to call me by my name!”
Di Xin gritted his teeth and cursed, “Men from the left and right, send Bi Gan to the prison and punish him ten times. He will be appointed as the sinner of Shang!”
Dozens of armored soldiers immediately rushed over from outside the door and rushed forward to arrest him.
“Who dares to come over!?!”
Bi Gan turned his head and roared. The might on his old face disappeared. He looked up at Di Xin and said firmly, “Your Majesty, I understand Your Majesty’s intentions. Even if the Zhou Army takes Chaoge City today, even if they have luck, they will not be able to establish themselves in the Shang territory. They will need a plaque to stabilize the citizens of the Shang Dynasty. I will definitely not die. However, Your Majesty! I assisted the Grand Emperor and the late Emperor for dozens of years without any mistakes. I am a minister of Shang, the prince of Shang, and the king’s uncle! How can I not understand the world? Grandmaster Wen is from Jie School. The Zhou Nation had obtained the help of Chan School. At that moment, it must have been the Immortal who caused the Zhou Army to be so brave! Later, you only need to meet up with the eastern army and send the Qi Refinement cultivators to the East Ocean to invite immortals. We might be able to fight Zhou again! Today, I’m willing to stand by you! Bring the sword over!”
A soldier who was closer subconsciously walked forward.
Di Xin shouted, “Don’t give him the sword!”
However, with a clang, Bi Gan had already pulled out the green sword on the armored warrior’s waist and caused a handful of hot blood to gush out in front of the hall.
Bi Gan’s body trembled continuously. His lips turned purple-black. With the sound of the long sword falling to the ground, he raised his hand and grabbed the Heart of Seven Orifices, which was shimmering with seven-colored streams of light, and slowly pulled it out.
“King, don’t believe in immortals. Don’t let your citizens down. I shall sacrifice. I hope that the King will temporarily endure and leave immediately! Leave immediately!”
He gripped the Heart of Seven Orifices tightly. Blood splattered. The ministers hurriedly shouted. Bi Gan’s body had already fallen backward.
Di Xin took half a step back weakly and sat on the throne. His eyes suddenly became empty.
A murderous shout erupted from the Western City.
The flames flickered more and more, and cries echoed everywhere.
In the palace, Di Xin waved his hand. The officials were chased out of the hall by the armored soldiers, leaving behind Bi Gan’s lying corpse.
“Uncle, where can I go? Where can I go?”
He stood up weakly and staggered down the steps. When he arrived in front of Bi Gan, he lowered his head and picked up the sword. He turned around and walked towards the harem.
In the palace, the guards rushed to the west gate. The palace maids fled from the other palaces. It was quite chaotic everywhere.
A guard discovered the King’s figure and crowded forward to bring the King to the east palace gate. However, he was ordered to retreat by the King.
Zhai Xing Hall was empty. His beloved concubine had long disappeared.
“That’s good too.”
Di Xin muttered and smiled self-deprecatingly. “Alright.”
He casually picked up a candlestick and threw it on the beautiful bed. Then, he turned around and walked to the top floor of Zhai Xing Lou.
On the Exiled Immortal Platform.
Sitting on the Exiled Immortal Platform, he could see how chaotic Chaoge City was at that moment. He could see the Zhou Army that was wreaking havoc on the Western City.
Even if I can leave tonight, what then?
Teacher had said that as long as the destiny of the Shang Nation is in place, I would be safe and sound.
Otherwise, it would be dangerous.
How could he not understand that the so-called saying that immortals did not dare to kill him, a mortal Emperor? He had to use Ji Fa to replace Shang. That was all.
I escaped from Chaoge City only because I was chased by the immortals and died somewhere.
However!
I have lost. I have not lost the battle, I have not lost my morals, I have not been betrayed!
I have lost in this world. How many immortals and saints are there? How powerful!
I’m defeated by the unfairness of the world…
It’s unfair.
Di Xin took a deep breath and stood on the tall building with his sword. He wanted to find something in the night.
At the same time, in the tent that the Zhou Army had just set up outside Chaoge City.
Ji Fa sat on the wooden chair and listened to the reports from outside. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
He originally wanted to lead the troops and march forward, but he was persuaded by Jiang Shang and the ministers. He could only stay there and wait for the instant he became the Son of Heaven.
Ji Fa seemed to have sensed that the so-called luck was gathering above his head.
He seemed to be able to hold the entire world with his palm!
A soldier outside the tent lowered his head and carried a tray. He quickly entered the tent and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, you should eat.”
“There’s no need. How can I eat it now?”
Ji Fa stood up and sighed with his hands behind his back. “The soldiers are fighting in front, but I can’t kill the enemies with the soldiers here. How can I bear it?”
The armored soldier took two steps forward and whispered, “Don’t tire yourself out.”
Ji Fa frowned. Why is this armored soldier so insensible?
Suddenly, the armored warrior looked up. A pink light flashed in his eyes. A stream of light flew out from the tray and went straight for Ji Fa’s neck!
Ji Fa was stunned on the spot and did not have any room to move.
However, just as the cold light was about to touch Ji Fa’s neck, a huge hand appeared out of thin air. It held the silver needle Dharma treasure firmly and crushed it casually.
Yang Jian frowned and looked at the armored warrior. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
“It’s my duty. Sorry, Fellow Daoist.”
The armored warrior looked a little flustered. However, when he looked up at Yang Jian, his eyes shone with a pink glow.
However, Yang Jian did not react at all. A crack appeared in the vertical eye on his forehead. A divine light shot out and directly sent the armored warrior out of the tent to seal her essence soul.
A few more shouts came from outside the tent. A few guards removed their armor and entered the tent with their Dharma treasures and weapons.
Yang Jian took out the Howling Celestial Dog from his chest and threw it forward. The Howling Celestial Dog turned into the size of an elephant in the blink of an eye. It opened its mouth and swallowed the demonesses.
When the Howling Celestial Dog turned into white light and returned to Yang Jian’s arms, a few demonesses and the armored soldiers were restrained by the immortal rope and piled outside the tent.
Ji Fa had already fainted.
Yang Jian arranged for Gong’e to come and serve him. He personally guarded the demonesses who had come to assassinate and waited for the Grand Tutor to return to the camp.
“Your Majesty…”
The “armored warrior” called softly. Her body trembled continuously and slowly returned to his original appearance.
It was the Demon Consort, Daji.
Yang Jian ignored her and stood quietly, looking into the city.
The fire surged from the upper floors of Zhai Xing Hall. The originally wooden Zhai Xing Hall was like a torch.
Di Xin had already sensed waves of heat. He, who had been standing quietly, finally moved.
What should I do to let my people know that I have never retreated or escaped?
Di Xin stood up and looked at the sky, the ground, and the huge city floating in the flames of war. He felt the panic and fear of his citizens.
In the end, I’m just too incompetent.
Yes, yes!
What sins do we have? Why do we follow the heavens!?!
What have I done to deserve immortal punishment!?!
Forget it, forget it!
I will not find any more excuses. In the end, it’s because I could not bear the burden that my ancestor had placed on my shoulders.
However, the backbone of the younger generation of the Shang Dynasty should be shouldered by the King!
The sword slashed across, and blood surged in his heart.
Di Xin’s eyes widened. He held the hilt of his long sword with one hand and sat cross-legged on the top of Zhai Xing Hall. His face was flushed red, but he resisted the urge to let out a painful roar.
Father… I’m useless…
It turned out that I was not destined.
