"The Evil God's Sacrificial Sacrifice?"
After a while, Wu Ming walked out of the secret chamber. Behind him was the Heart Eating Boy, whose eyes were blank and head was full of black needles.
On his body, a layer of beautiful purplish-red patterns appeared. They were extremely intricate, forming a complex formation. However, it was broken at several key points.
"How could he come up with this trick …"
Wu Ming shook his head, speechless.
It was obvious that the Heart-eating Boy had been tricked by the Carnage Blood Alliance Master. He had made countless promises, even revealing the Almighty ability to 'modify missions' and guaranteeing resurrection. In the end, he had staked everything on one throw and even turned himself into a huge gunpowder bag!
After letting the Heart Eating Boy explain himself, Wu Ming naturally did not believe him completely. Instead, he searched through his memories again. Comparing the two, the Heart Eating Boy knew him better than the Heart Eating Boy himself!
"The Evil God's Sacrificial Sacrifice is the sacrifice of one's own blood and soul to summon the power of pollution that is enough to kill the ancient Evil God. If it is really used, the range is at least tens of feet, and the destructive power is quite terrifying. Even an Earth Immortal's Blessed Land would be greatly damaged …"
Wu Ming shook his head. He knew from the beginning that there was something wrong with this Heart Eating Boy. After careful investigation, he naturally found the flaw.
Moreover, after removing the myth of the Master of the Blood Pact, the Heart Eating Boy would not dare to die together with him.
"Looks like … the enemy is really the Master of the Blood Pact?"
Wu Ming could be sure that the Master of the Blood Pact was his enemy, and he was also a person with authority. He had the strange authority to cover the Reincarnators' missions and release the fog.
This authority was not worth mentioning, but the Reincarnators would probably be played to death.
"But … he is my greatest enemy?!"
Wu Ming looked down. In the memory of the Heart Eating Boy, he had not seen the true face of the Master of the Blood Pact.
He only knew that the Master was extremely powerful and was born with great luck. He could always escape from death's door, and finally became the Master of the Blood Pact.
Most importantly, he had all the confidential information about the members, including Dazhou's identity!
"It's just that … extraordinary people have extraordinary aspects. This Blood Pact Master …"
Wu Ming rubbed his chin as a glint flashed across his eyes. "I'm afraid … I'll only be able to give me an answer when we conquer Shengjing …"
…
Ten days later.
"Victory! Long live victory! "
Amidst the cheers of the soldiers, the gates of the Ten Extremes opened wide, welcoming the army of the Martial King, Ji Yi.
After getting rid of the interference from the cultivators, Han Hulin was indeed worthy of his title as the Rebel King. He had defended the Ten Extremes until now.
"It's not that the Great Shang Disciplinary Army is weak, but it's really hard to overcome!"
Wu Ming stood on the city gate tower and sighed inwardly as he watched Martial King Ji Yi's carriage slowly enter and the cheering crowd on both sides.
In order to take down the Ten Extremes, the generals of the Great Shang Dynasty had resorted to all sorts of methods. A hundred thousand soldiers attacked day and night. In the end, they even used the tactic of driving the surrounding commoners to attack the city.
However, the Ten Extremes were too dangerous, and they had lost the help of the cultivators. They really could not do anything!
Even the Rebel King, Xu Zongwu, had to expend a lot of energy to take down the Ten Extremes. In the end, he had to rely on his spies to succeed!
It was a pity that destiny was not on the Shang Dynasty's side. The two armies fought with each other, and Han Hulin had the last laugh.
"Ji Yi's arrival killed fifty thousand of the Shang Dynasty's hundred thousand soldiers. They didn't dare to stay any longer and retreated yesterday … Han Hulin probably has a plan, so he doesn't dare to chase after them. After all … the commander will die if he goes back!"
Shang Jie was a hot-tempered person. Naturally, he would not let go of a defeated general, even though he was smart and loyal!
He knew that the only thing the Shang Dynasty could do now was to defend Shengjing. That was why he brought fifty thousand soldiers back even though they would definitely die! Wu Ming could not help but sigh. Even though the country was in trouble, there were still loyal subjects, although the ratio was small.
For example, right now, many commoners in the pass were already preparing to 'eat their fill to welcome the Emperor's army'.
This was because the Shang Dynasty had captured the commoners and sent entire villages to their deaths, dispersing the hearts of the people. However, the county magistrates and officers who were originally in high positions actually came to surrender. The complexity of human nature made even Wu Ming sigh.
"It's just that … why has the crimson dragon aura weakened so much? Even with the Heavenly Mandate's replenishment, it is still unbelievable … "
Wu Ming opened his Heavenly Eye and naturally saw the King Energy of Ji Yi.
However, this Red Dragon was much weaker than when he saw it that day. He found it hard to believe.
He then thought of a few vague rumors and news, and he was even more certain of his guess. "I was wondering why Yu Qing was so lively and yet so hostile towards Fan Men … So that's why!"
…
The Records of Taizu said, "The Emperor raised his troops for more than a month and conquered dozens of counties. At the beginning of the Ten Extremes, there was no chaos at all. Han Hulin was surprised and surrendered. The commoners in the pass had been suffering for a long time and ate their fill to welcome the Emperor's army. In an instant, they arrived at Shengjing City!"
Ji Yi met up with Han Hulin and took in three rebel kings. He had 150,000 troops and told the outside world that he had 200,000. The people in the pass were terrified and they killed their way to Shengjing City like a hot knife through butter!
Looking at the core of Great Shang's nineteen prefectures not far away, as well as the flags and soldiers on both sides, Wu Ming felt like he was immersed in history.
"Originally, Ji Yi had the upper hand and should have planned slowly. As long as he remained in the Ten Extremes and ordered his subordinates to attack the city, Shang Prefecture would be able to decide everything. No matter how powerful Shengjing is, it would be useless … Unfortunately, the Twelve Golden Men are about to be formed and there is no time for that …"
Wu Ming looked at the Shengjing and could vaguely see the silhouettes of the Twelve Golden Men that were almost indomitable and filled with killing intent. He could not help but suck in a cold breath.
"The Twelve Golden Men need to be refined for forty-nine days and merge with the Great Dragon Vein of China. Only then will it be considered complete. Forty-six days have passed! Time waits for no man … "
Not only Wu Ming, Daoist Yu Qing and Ji Yi, who was in the middle of the formation, looked at this scene with a heavy heart.
Speaking of which, the generals who led the charge were naturally wary of dressing up too flashy, especially white horses and Radiant Armor. They would be easily targeted. The Emperor was in charge of the three armies and that was the safest place to be. There was no need to care about that.
Ji Yi's mission was to let the three armies know that he was the core of the army and boost their morale. Naturally, he had to be solemn and eye-catching.
If the enemy reached the middle of the army and Ji Yi had to personally attack them, he would not be far from destruction.
Dong dong! Dong dong!
The war drums were beating like Thunder.
"Victory! Victory! "
More than a hundred thousand soldiers roared as they looked at the center of the army. Ji Yi sat upright and still. Another person who looked like a civil official came to Shengjing City and opened a bright yellow declaration. "Shang Jie is tyrannical … Although Wu's name is old, his life is new! All civil and military officials in the city, quickly submit to Heaven's might. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets when the army enters the city! "
"Traitors!"
A loud curse came from Shengjing City, and then an arrow fell like a meteor.
"Lu lu!"
The horse was startled and retreated several feet. In the end, it missed by a hair, and the arrow brushed past the envoy's cheek.
The official's heart was beating wildly. He barely maintained his posture and returned to the formation to report to King Wu.
The moment the arrow was shot, both sides naturally knew what it meant. They would fight to the last man and would not stop until they were dead.
"Shengjing City …"
Ji Yi looked at the city and seemed to be a little emotional. "Since I started my army, although there have been twists and turns, I have not suffered a great defeat. It seems like this city will be my last pass!"
"We must break this city!"
As soon as he said that, the generals behind him immediately knelt on one knee. "Please appoint me as the vanguard! We must break this city for you, Your Majesty! "
During the founding of the country, civil and military officials risked their lives.
"Dear ministers, whoever can break this city within three days will be rewarded handsomely!"
Ji Yi said loudly, causing the people below to fall into dead silence.
To be honest, none of the civil and military officials who founded the country were mediocre. If they wanted to take down Shang Province, they would definitely succeed as long as they planned it slowly!
However, to take down the capital of Great Shang within three days?
In an instant, several resentful and hateful gazes were shot at Daoist Yu Qing who was beside him.
They were not people of the cultivation world and did not know the divine might of the Twelve Metal Men.
Even if they knew, the disciples of the Confucian School were also particular about 'children do not talk about strange powers and gods'. They rejected the dragon qi as a fallacy and had long regarded Daoist Yu Qing as a treacherous official who bewitched the ruler! Traitor! The impeachment memorials could even fill a small room.
After all, it would be a mistake to seek a quick end to the battle when they had such an advantage!
Daoist Yu Qing naturally knew that. There was no sadness or joy on his face, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, it's not about the dangers of the mountains and streams, but the hearts of the people! Today, Your Majesty, you have mobilized your troops for twenty years and conquered two provinces in a row. You love the people like your own children and you have also established the throne. As long as you work hard and attack slowly, it will be easy for you to conquer nineteen provinces and establish a new dynasty! "
A Confucian scholar stepped out and took off his hat, "Now that there is a Daoist who is misleading the people, I ask you to kill this Daoist Yu Qing and return peace to the world!"
His aura was so intense that even Daoist Yu Qing's expression changed slightly.
It was almost a death remonstrance. Ji Yi did not doubt that if he did not agree, the old Confucian would dare to kill himself on the spot!
He could not help but hesitate.
In reality, it would be a complete lie to say that he listened to Daoist Yu Qing's words!
As a king, how could he not know the principle of listening to both sides and believing in one side? Even before the uprising, the Ji family had specialized servants who were responsible for spying on the world's intelligence.
After Ji Yi ascended the throne, he paid more attention to it. From the information he gathered, it was truly shocking!
Of course, although there were many materials, they might not be able to convince the flood dragon. The one who truly convinced Ji Yi was himself!
Every time he looked at the twelve Metal Men, he would feel a sense of urgency in his heart, which made him certain of the authenticity of the intelligence!
This kind of premonition had helped him escape or obtain victory countless times. Now, he naturally believed it even more.
Clang!
He pulled out his long sword and slashed, chopping off a corner of the table. He said coldly, "Shengjing will fall in three days! I have made up my mind, and anyone who disobeys will end up like this case! "
