Three months after the Jade Void Palace Chanism Meeting, the news of the change of the God-Conferment Envoy had spread throughout the Primordial World.
Yang Jian, a name that had been appearing in the ears of cultivators in the past few decades, affected the hearts of various factions.
What was surprising was that Jie School did not object to Yang Jian taking charge of the God roll. Compared to Flying Bear, Yang Jian's identity as the Marshal of the Celestial Court was more reasonable and acceptable.
The Celestial Court remained silent as usual. The figure in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall had been watching the Primordial World.
Ever since Yang Jian took over the God-Conferment matter, the Jade Emperor seemed to be in a good mood. The fairy who was serving him often saw the ruler of the Three Realms smiling.
In Chaoge City.
Yang Jian was dressed in white and walked on the bustling street. His mood had long returned to normal.
In the past few months, he had been in Jade Spring Mountain and Mei Mountain. He did not go anywhere.
It was not until news came from the South Continent that Yang Jian had been detained by Di Xin that he went south from Mei Mountain to Chaoge City of the South Continent.
The surroundings of Chaoge City were still the same. Spiritual senses filled the air. Yang Jian's appearance naturally attracted many people's attention.
When he passed by the Jiang Residence, Yang Jian turned his head and saw Jiang Ziya and Rou 'er reading and reciting poems beside the flower garden. The corners of his mouth twitched …
Digging a hole to bury myself is probably referring to this matter.
Originally, he could have watched the entire situation from the side and waited for an opportunity to take action. Now, he had become the center of the vortex and was destined not to receive any rewards. He had to balance the forces of the three sects and protect the foundation of Chanism and even the foundation of the Dao Sect.
He was a third-generation disciple, but he had to worry so much. It really made Yang Jian a little unhappy.
"Since I'm here, I'll just take it as it is. This might not be a bad thing." Yang Jian placed his hands behind his back and floated away.
Letting him take charge of the God roll …
Don't blame me for secretly suppressing the Randeng lineage and protecting the true foundation of Chanism.
As long as the Saint did not fix the "God-Conferment List", he could give the disciples of Chanism who had died on the God roll a carefree immortal position.
There was also his cousin, the unlucky Princess Long Ji. He had to protect her and not let that half-baked Hong Jin take advantage of her.
If Long Ji was destined to be on the God roll, she would not be Hong Luan Xing. After all, she was the daughter of his uncle.
Just as he was thinking, the King of Shang's palace was already in front of him.
Just like that, Yang Jian walked over. His silhouette turned into a void, so how could mortals see him?
The golden dragon protecting the palace had already withered and looked like it had withered. It could barely look at Yang Jian, unable to stop him at all.
There were a few immortals from Jie School whose spiritual senses fluctuated, but they did not appear in the end.
Is Yang Jian here to kill Di Xin?
How is that possible? After some analysis, Yang Jian realized that he could only try his best to follow the script of the God-Conferment Romance. Only then would he have some "foresight" and be more confident that he could control the changes in the situation of the God-Conferment.
Di Xin naturally could not be killed. He would let him and the Nine-Tailed Fox continue to live happily for a few more years.
Yang Jian went to the underground prison of the palace and found Bo Yikao, who had been beaten up beyond recognition.
Bo Yikao was a famous handsome man in the mortal world. His zither skills were excellent, but he ended up like that because of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The Nine-Tailed Fox failed to seduce Bo Yikao and flew into a rage out of humiliation. When Bo Yikao offered the treasures, she used demonic spells to make the old ape go crazy. She was convicted of plotting an assassination by Di Xin.
Now, the elegant eldest son of the Marquis of Xi Bo was tied to the wall by an iron chain. His breathing was weak.
Yang Jian knocked the guard unconscious and slowly walked forward to help Bo Yikao pass Xuanqi. Bo Yikao snorted softly and felt the pain in his body disappear. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the white-robed man standing in front of him.
"Who … are you?"
"The person who came to save you," Yang Jian said warmly. "Don't be afraid. I'll bring you out of this place now."
"No! You must not! "Bo Yikao stopped him with a trembling voice.
Yang Jian asked, "Are you worried that the Marquis of the West will be implicated?"
"That's right," Bo Yikao replied and smiled bitterly. "My life is nothing. If I can exchange it for Father's safe return, I don't mind dying a thousand times. However, if I escape from here, the King will definitely vent his anger on Father … "
Yang Jian nodded slightly and did not insist. He only came here to meet Bo Yikao.
"Even so, I still have to thank you for coming to save me." Bo Yikao looked up at the blue sky and white clouds outside the dungeon window. "Although I'm afraid that others will laugh at me, I still shamelessly ask … for you to save my father's life."
"The Marquis of the West is known as a sage. Although I'm an outsider, I admire him." Yang Jian raised his hand and engraved a talisman on Bo Yikao's body. He said, "This talisman can make you feel no pain. If you can't save your life, it can protect your soul."
"Thank you, righteous man!" Bo Yikao's eyes were filled with tears. Although he already had the intention to die, he could not bear it when he heard the word "die".
Yang Jian left quietly after doing that. The guards slowly woke up, while Bo Yikao fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Bo Yikao was killed. His body was made into meat soup and sent to the place where Ji Chang was trapped.
Although Ji Chang knew what the meat soup was, in order to survive, he could only eat it without any expression and thank Di Xin. After the envoy left, Ji Chang cried and lay motionless for a long time.
When the news of Bo Yikao's death spread to Xi Qi, Ji Chang's second son, Ji Fa, cried. He immediately wanted to follow the example of the Marquis of the East, Jiang Hengchu, and lead the army to Chaoge City. However, he was stopped by the civil officials.
The four friends of King Wen decided to bribe Fei Zhong and You Hun to rescue Ji Chang.
Not long after, news came from Chaoge City that Di Xin had pardoned Ji Chang. Finally, Bo Yikao's death had some value.
However, Di Xin was not stupid. How could he let the Marquis of the West return to the mountain? Now that the marquis of the East and South had rebelled, if the Marquis of the West returned to Xi Qi, Chaoge City would be attacked on three sides. Although he was not afraid, he was not willing to bear the pressure.
Therefore, Di Xin transferred the Marquis of the West to Chaoge City and promoted him. He asked Ji Chang to stay in Chaoge City as an official.
Ji Chang praised the officials for three days. After being promoted, he had to parade the streets. Chaoge City was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Many old officials of the Shang Dynasty were extremely excited. They even thought that Di Xin had come to his senses …
Unexpectedly, on the second day of the praise, Ji Chang and Huang Feihu met. Huang Feihu invited Ji Chang to a banquet at his home and reminded Ji Chang.
Ji Chang fled in the night. He left Chaoge City, crossed the Yellow River, and headed towards Lintong Pass, an important city in the west of the Shang Dynasty.
Di Xin was furious. He ordered Yin Pobai and Lei Kai to lead three thousand troops to chase after him. King Wen's carriage was slow, and the pursuers behind him were fast. Not long after, they were about to catch up …
"Neigh …"
The coachman pulled the reins tightly. The two old horses neighed, and the carriage stopped on the main road. It almost fell apart.
Thirty feet ahead, Yang Jian stood quietly with a smile. He felt the gaze from behind the curtain.
"Who dares to block the way!?" The coachman hurriedly shouted. "Quickly move aside! Do you know who is sitting in the carriage? "
Yang Jian said, "Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, please get out of the carriage to talk."
The old man in the carriage lifted the curtain and walked out. He saw that Yang Jian had a dignified appearance and didn't seem to be a treacherous person. He also had a calm and unruffled temperament, and his entire body was wrapped in an indistinct and unpredictable temperament. He immediately didn't dare to be careless, knowing that this was no ordinary person.
The coachman helped Ji Chang out of the carriage. Ji Chang cupped his hands and said, "I'm Ji Chang. May I know what advice you have for me?"
"Marquis of the West, you're too polite. The sun is scorching here. Why don't we go to the forest at the side and talk?"
Yang Jian cupped his hands in return and made an inviting gesture. Ji Chang was stunned. When he saw Yang Jian's clear eyes, he nodded gently. "Sir, please."
The coachman hurriedly wanted to stop him. Yang Jian raised his hand and pointed. The coachman immediately fainted and was lifted by Yang Jian with one hand.
Then, Ji Chang saw Yang Jian nod at the two old horses. The two old horses galloped forward and pulled the carriage along the main road to the west.
"It's just some Dao techniques. Marquis of the West, please follow me."
Ji Chang's face was filled with fatigue. When he heard Yang Jian's words, he knew that he had no chance to retaliate. He could only follow.
After walking into the forest, Yang Jian set up a short table under a tree. There was tea with some white steam floating on it. He invited Ji Chang to sit.
"Sir, why are you here?"
"People say that Marquis of the West has the name of a sage. They admire you, so they came here to wait … Marquis of the West, please listen."
Just as Yang Jian finished speaking, there was a roar outside the forest. Chariots sped and warhorses galloped. Many people shouted and chased after Ji Chang, saying that they wanted to capture Ji Chang.
Ji Chang immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly hid behind the short table and bowed to Yang Jian.
"Sir, thank you for saving my life!"
Yang Jian smiled and waved his hand. "Have some tea. Immortals will come to find you later and escort you to the west."
Marquis of the West sat cross-legged on the grass. When he saw Yang Jian pour tea for him, he quickly thanked him and asked, "Sir, how do I address you and where do you cultivate?"
"People who cultivate the Dao travel everywhere in the world. There is no need to mention these things."
Marquis of the West was instantly filled with admiration. He respected Yang Jian even more.
It was rare for Marquis of the West to have such a character of not repaying kindness. He guessed that this young man should be an immortal, so he wanted to take the opportunity to ask about Dao Yi.
However, after Marquis of the West asked a few questions, Yang Jian changed the topic to governing the country.
Yang Jian asked, "After Marquis of the West returns to West Qi, are you going to avenge Young Master Chang?"
Ji Chang looked sad. "Ah … If we start a war, I don't know how many people in the world will die in the flames of war. I can't bear it."
"Marquis of the West, you have to listen to me." Yang Jian cupped his hands and spoke frankly. He first said, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge ten years later." Then, he said, "The Shang Dynasty is tyrannical and tyrannical. If we can replace him, we will save the people of the world."
Ji Chang asked how he should do it. Yang Jian told him about the three-step plan that West Qi had to take …
The first step was to encourage farming and let the people live a prosperous life. After one or two years, when there was sufficient food, they would start to encourage childbirth, causing the population of West Qi to increase. They would contact the vassal states and surround Chaoge with them to relieve the pressure on West Qi.
The second step was to accumulate strength and annex the surrounding vassal states that were helping the tyrant. They would expand their territory and move the capital. After that, they would deal with Marquis Chong Hu, conquer the barbarians in the west, stabilize the rear, and resist the subjugation from Chaoge City.
The third step was to conquer Chaoge City. They had to wait for the land controlled by the Marquis of the West to become stronger than Chaoge City. Only then could they send their army to the east and replace the Shang Dynasty with a majestic aura.
After saying that, Ji Chang's old face was filled with shock. He looked at Yang Jian as if he was looking at a god.
Yang Jian tactfully rejected Ji Chang's request to go to West Qi with him. He only said that he was used to living a carefree life and wanted to travel more in the human world.
At that moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the west outside the forest. However, this time, they were not chasing aggressively. Instead, they were retreating in a hurry.
"This is …"
"The immortal who escorted the Marquis of the West has arrived. I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."
Yang Jian stood up, cupped his hands at the Marquis of the West, and walked into the forest.
Ji Chang looked in the direction where Yang Jian left and could not come back to his senses for a long time. A figure descended from the sky. He had a pair of thunder wings on his back and knelt on one knee in front of Ji Chang …
Yang Jian stood on the treetop and watched this scene. A mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
