Chaoge City, Shang King Palace, Chaoge City.
More than a hundred officials and generals knelt on the ground. The palace servants kneeling beside the throne were bleeding profusely, but they did not dare to cover it. They only trembled.
Cloud Piercing Pass, the north, and the southwest were in danger …
Di Xin's expression was ferocious as he kicked the desk in front of him.
"The rebel army of the Zhou Nation invades our Shang Dynasty every day! Yet, all of you can't even let out a fart! What do I want you for? What do I want you for!?! "
An old official stood up and took two steps forward quickly. He lay in front of the platform and shouted, "Your Majesty, it's hard to find a good general. The traitors are powerful. In my opinion, why don't we make peace with the East and South first and make a promise? We can order them to lead the army to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty for committing treason. The crisis of the Shang Dynasty can be resolved!"
That plan seemed feasible.
Di Xin stood up. His face was expressionless. He walked down the steps and walked in front of the old official.
The old official seemed to sense that something was amiss. He raised his head with all his might and looked up at the Emperor in front of him …
"Ignorant man!"
Di Xin suddenly flew into a rage. He raised his leg and kicked the old official away. He shouted angrily, "I'm the Son of Heaven! I'm the Son of Heaven! You actually want me to lower my head to these traitors! "
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I didn't think it through. Your Majesty, please calm down! "
"Drag him out and behead him!"
Outside the hall, two teams of armored soldiers rushed in and dragged the old official who was coughing up blood away. They did not show any mercy.
All the officials in the court lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. No one even begged for mercy on that person's behalf.
Di Xin slowly walked in front of an old official and asked, "Do you have a good plan?"
"I, I … I think that the King needs to worship the ancestors! The ancestors will definitely protect Your Majesty's Shang Dynasty! "
Di Xin nodded slightly. He held the sword at his waist with his left hand and sighed. "It's useless. Men, drag him out and behead him."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare me! "
A group of soldiers rushed over and dragged the old official away. One of the soldiers raised his hand and slapped the old official's mouth. The latter was instantly silenced, and gradually lost the strength to struggle.
Not long after, the two heads hung outside the hall. Di Xin sat on the steps below the throne and sighed softly. "All the civil and military officials of the court and the vassals of the aristocratic families can't help me solve my problems. What's the point of me keeping you alive?"
All the officials trembled, and some of them felt their limbs go soft, and they almost fainted.
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of laughter sounded from outside the hall. Di Xin frowned. The ministers were even more frightened.
At this time, it was best not to have a remonstrant jump out and infuriate the king even more!
A black panther stopped outside the door. Shen Gongpao, who was wearing a black Taoist robe, walked in. He was laughing and his face was full of excitement.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Highness! "
Di Xin seemed to be suppressing his anger. He sat on the steps and his eyes flickered. "Imperial Preceptor, you have been defeated in consecutive battles. Yet, you can face me so calmly and even congratulate me. This seems to be courting death."
Shen Gongpao smiled nonchalantly and cupped his hands. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Dispense with the formalities. Tell me, what's worth congratulating?"
"Your Majesty, you must have heard of the Three Sects of the Dao Sect. Using the situation in the South Continent, Chan School and Jie School are fighting for the destiny of the Human Emperor." Shen Gongpao's words were simple, but Di Xin nodded slightly. He had naturally heard that from Shen Gongpao. He had also found cultivators to verify it. It was naturally true.
Shen Gongpao said, "Chanism has long supported the Zhou Nation and sent many disciples into the Zhou Army. The Prime Minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian, is the third-generation disciple of Chanism. I should have told the King about this earlier."
"Continue."
"With the help of the Immortals of Chanism, the Zhou Army was unstoppable and won consecutive battles. Although the Grand Tutor Wen had gathered extraordinary people in the Shang Dynasty previously, the Grand Tutor was only a third-generation disciple of Jie School after all. The number of capable people he could invite was limited. He naturally could not compete with Yang Jian and the others."
After Shen Gongpao finished speaking, Di Xin frowned and said, "The Grand Tutor has racked his brains for the Shang Dynasty. He even died on the battlefield to suppress the rebels. It's better to respect him, Imperial Preceptor."
Clearly, Di Xin was already rather dissatisfied with Shen Gongpao, but Shen Gongpao did not care.
The two of them were more like using each other. The so-called ruler and minister were just a title.
"I want to congratulate you, Your Majesty. A few days ago, Chanism and the Sect Master of Jie School fought. The two Saints fought with all their might. Jie School has now entered the South Continent. At that moment, they are in front of Lin Tong Pass and have begun to set up the number one array formation in the world!"
"The number one array formation in the world?"
"That's right," Shen Gongpao said proudly. "The Sect Master used the power of the entire Jie School and used immortals as soldiers. He gathered ten thousand immortals and set up the Ten Thousand Immortal Array!"
"Is that true?"
"I naturally don't dare to lie to Your Majesty! Now that the Cloud Piercing Pass has been lost, the military order is still on the way and cannot rush to Chaoge City. Therefore, this array can only be set up in front of Lin Tong Pass! "
Shen Gongpao paused and lowered his head to bow.
"Your Majesty! Jie School has ten thousand immortals. Their strength is several times stronger than that of Chanism! The Sect Master has even used a Dharma treasure that can kill Saints. He is naturally 100% confident in this battle! As long as the Ten Thousand Immortal Array destroys the immortals of Chanism, it will be time for us to counterattack! "
"At that time, Your Majesty, you only need to send hundreds of thousands of troops. The immortals of Jie School will enter the army. It will only take more than a month to sweep through West Qi. The rebellion will be quelled!"
"Therefore, congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Shen Gongpao's words were impassioned, causing Di Xin's eyes to light up.
"Minister, do you need me to do anything for the immortals of Jie School?"
Shen Gongpao said, "Your Majesty, please go to Lin Tong Pass personally!"
As soon as he said that, Di Xin opened his mouth and was about to agree. However, a group of old officials tried to dissuade him. They said that the King could not fight personally and that Chaoge City could not be without the Emperor.
Di Xin could not stand the disturbance. Just as he was about to rebuke, Fei Zhong and You Hun asked the King to guard Chaoge City with a sobbing tone. They said that all the people in the world looked up to Chaoge City. If the King went out, the stars would shift and the fate of the country would be worried.
As soon as the two important officials spoke, Di Xin hesitated.
Shen Gongpao smiled and said, "Actually, Your Majesty, there's no need for you to come personally. The two sects are fighting. Chanism has the support of the Zhou Nation. Jie School will always suffer some losses. I suggest that the King personally conquer the West because of the fate of the country. "
"Oh?" Di Xin frowned and said, "The fate of the country? If I don't personally lead the army, how can the fate of the country be added to the immortals of Jie School? "
"I only need a decree, someone who can represent the King, or a treasure."
Originally, Shen Gongpao wanted Di Xin's Human Emperor's Seal. With the seal in the Ten Thousand Immortal Array, he could naturally let the last bit of the Shang Nation's destiny be used by the Ten Thousand Immortal Array.
However, Shen Gongpao did not expect Di Xin to be so generous. Not only did he think of sending the imperial seal to Lintong Pass, he even gave it to the person he trusted the most for safekeeping.
The Empress, Daji.
The next day, Shen Gongpao rode the black leopard and walked at the front with a strange expression.
Behind him was a long honor guard that was five kilometers long. It was not much different from Di Xin's trip.
At the center of the honor guard, in the carriage pulled by four mutated beasts, the peerless demon concubine lay lazily on the soft couch. In front of her were a few enchanting female figures dancing. Her gaze was a little blurry.
Shen Gongpao's spiritual senses scanned that scene and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
There was no need to think about obtaining the seal. He did not dare to guarantee that the vixen could return alive.
Ten Thousand Immortal Array?
Shen Gongpao shook his head gently and sat on the black leopard. He leisurely closed his eyes and began to meditate. He did not look anxious at all.
…
Cloud Piercing Pass.
The battle actually did not last for half a day. The Shang army's counterattack was a little weak. The Zhou army opened the city gate with almost no losses.
They entered the city and took over the various parts of the city. Nearly half of the Shang army that surrendered were released. Their armor was confiscated and a portion of it was allocated to the Shang army's granary. They were ordered to return to their hometown.
The remaining Shang army was incorporated and sent to the rear of the pass to replace Zhou Guoqiang's army and rush to Cloud Piercing Pass.
When Yang Jian entered the military headquarters, there was no longer any noise in Cloud Piercing Pass. To the citizens in the city, it was just a change in the flag on the city wall.
There were no deaths in war, but it was always good to have fewer people die.
After entering Cloud Piercing Pass, Yang Jian did not have the mood to play chess and chat with Xiao Lan. That was because on the same day, waves of essence energy fluctuations kept gathering in the plains 600 kilometers ahead.
They did not know that Yang Jian had been disturbed. All the generals of the Zhou Army with some cultivation level gathered at the eastern city wall of Cloud Piercing Pass and looked towards the east.
At that moment, the sun was setting in the west. The eastern sky, which should have been ink-colored, was flickering with various immortal lights. It was rather spectacular.
Xiao Lan, who looked like a handsome young master, asked in shock, "What's wrong?"
"It should be the immortals of Jie School." Nezha carried the Fire-tipped Spear. "Senior Brother, should I go and investigate the situation? My spiritual senses can't approach that side. It seems to have been distorted by some Dao runes. "
"Of course you can't approach," Yang Jian replied calmly. "How can your half-baked mystical abilities pry into the surroundings of the Saint?"
Nezha widened his eyes. "Saint?"
Huang Tianhua and Wei Hu were also puzzled. The dozen or so immortals of Chanism who remained in the army had already begun to scatter jade talismans to call for help.
"Everyone, don't be anxious." Yang Jian comforted from the side. "From the looks of it, the immortals of Jie School have set up a huge array in front of our army. If we don't provoke them, we will be safe."
The immortals thought about it and realized that it was true. Most of the pressure immediately dissipated.
Yang Jian chuckled. Nezha asked Yang Jian why he was marching. Just as Yang Jian was about to reply, his face suddenly turned pale and his body trembled slightly.
There were traces of him!
Yang Jian's Xuan Body was so strong that even a Connate Cardinal treasure could withstand one or two blows. However, at that moment, his face turned pale and his aura fluctuated.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, what's wrong?!"
"Yang Jian!"
Amidst the surrounding shouts, Yang Jian's legs suddenly turned limp. He knelt on one knee and clutched his chest, panting heavily.
Xiao Lan hurriedly supported Yang Jian. "What's wrong with you!?! Don't scare me! "
Yang Jian wanted to speak, but his chest seemed to be blocked. His eyelids became heavier.
I can't faint just like that. I still have many things to do in the Ten Thousand Immortal Array!
He bit the tip of his tongue. Yang Jian's eyes were bloodshot. Monstrous waves surged in his heart, and the Pangu Heaven-Splitting Visualization Image appeared on his spirit platform!
Solitary Dao!
Buzz! Boom!
A muffled thunder seemed to come from Yang Jian's body. In an instant, Yang Jian opened his mouth and spat out half a bucket of black blood. Although his aura was a little weaker, it had already stabilized.
He could not be bothered to say anything. He immediately sat cross-legged and meditated. The people around him immediately searched the surroundings, wanting to see if Yang Jian had been plotted against.
An hour later, the stars shone. Yang Jian finally opened his eyes slowly.
