In this battle, Wu Ming had performed his duty well, which was to be a bystander!
To him, it didn't matter if the Heavenly Mandate was in Shang or Zhou, it wasn't in his hands. Therefore, other than dealing with the Blood Pact, he rarely took action.
After all, he wasn't a die-hard fan of Ji Yi, nor would he bring his own food to do things for him. Basically, when Yu Qing I needed something from him, he would have to give something in return for a fair trade.
And Wu Ming was also very glad about this.
He had seen the previous battle, Brahma Zun, the ancient gods, and even the Heaven Immortals! With his current strength, he wouldn't be able to gain anything if he interfered recklessly.
'I might as well hide behind the scenes and be a hero behind the scenes …'
Wu Ming's lips curled into a smile, 'There are so many changes today, are there any records in the history books? At most, there would be a sentence like 'besieging Sheng Capital, three days later, the people came out to welcome you' to prove Ji Yi's Heavenly Mandate! '
Now that he had entered the palace, he immediately raised his head and searched for Shang Jie's moving Emperor's Qi.
'No matter what the Blood Pact Master wants to do, he can't avoid Shang Jie! Moreover, he's the True Dragon Son of the previous generation? If I use him as a blood sacrifice, I wonder if I can refine a divine weapon? '
"Capture Shang Jie! Capture Shang Jie! "
As the biggest gift package in the battle of Sheng Capital, Shang Jie was undoubtedly the target of many. The Zhou generals who had entered the palace didn't even have time to plunder the dazzling treasures of the palace before they rushed straight to where the Twelve Metal Men were.
In fact, there were many people with the same thoughts as Wu Ming.
'Sheng Capital has been accumulating for a thousand years, and the treasures in the palace might be very useful for cultivators …'
Wu Ming saw a few Daoist looking Spiritual Masters controlling their flying swords, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. People die for wealth, and birds die for food.
The palace of Great Shang had been expanding for a thousand years, and it had tens of thousands of buildings that were dazzling with gold and jade. Even though it had experienced earthquakes, lightning, and the final explosion, one could still see gold, jade, and brocades among the ruins.
"We're here!"
Smoke and fire soared into the sky. Occasionally, there were soldiers looting and looting in the chaos. There were even loyal ministers and dutiful sons who decided to die. The concubines and maids in the palace disguised themselves and fled, hung themselves, or were caught and humiliated. It was a complete mess.
Wu Ming could not be bothered with these matters. He moved as though he was flying and suddenly arrived at the top of a wall, looking up at the plaza where the Twelve Metal Men were.
The Twelve Gold Men were destroyed, and the surroundings were naturally in a mess. Occasionally, one could see the color of blood under the broken bricks, but what really made Wu Ming's eyes twitch wildly was the murderous aura that soared into the sky.
The dense black gas could be seen with the naked eye without the need for a spiritual eye. It was dense and continuous, as if it had turned into a screen in the sky, with the cries of tens of thousands of ghosts.
"Without the suppression of the twelve Golden Men, even if only ten percent of this evil aura were to escape, it would be enough to make the area around Sheng Capital barren and turn it into a land of death within three hundred years! No wonder Dazhou wants to move its capital … "
"Charge in and capture Shang Jie alive. That would be a great merit!"
"Capture Shang Jie alive!"
In the eyes of the soldiers, this was just a thin layer of black fog. At most, it could only obstruct their vision. However, when their eyes turned red from killing, they did not care about anything else and charged in.
On the other hand, a few Daoists and alchemists stopped at the edge like Wu Ming, their faces filled with fear.
"Pass down my orders! Seal the surroundings, no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who disobeys will be killed! "
Following which, the general who led the troops arrived. He seemed to be a descendant of the Military School. Seeing this scene, his expression changed. "Also … the soldiers who have already entered are not allowed to leave. If anyone tries to barge in, kill without mercy!"
"Quickly inform the Emperor of the situation here and ask him to send people over!"
After making all these arrangements, the general came to the edge and his eyes were filled with all sorts of emotions. "The Golden Men are shattered, the Heavenly Fate has fallen. This is the Mystic Bird Dragon Bane! … No! It's even more sinister than a normal Dragon Bane, and it still has such grievous energy? It can be said to be the most poisonous thing! Even I don't dare to offend it! "
However, he was very clear that the original Dragon Bane had already undergone a mysterious change after going through the Golden Men, the Heavenly Tribulation, and the series of changes in the capital region.
"Hehe …"
"Kill!"
At this moment, the soldiers who had been blinded by lust started to change.
All of them panted heavily, their eyes bloodshot as they crazily killed the living beings around them. Even their former comrades had become ghosts under their blades.
After receiving blood and flesh, black scales even grew on the bodies of these originally crazed soldiers, and two small horns grew on their foreheads. In an instant, they had turned into monsters.
"Save me! I don't want to die! "
At the edge, a few people whose changes were not that obvious immediately ran out and shouted, "General, Lord Lieutenant, save me!"
"Kill!"
Lieutenant Zhou's expression was cold as he personally took action. A golden arrow that resembled a shooting star landed in this person's eye socket and exited from the back of his head.
Bam!
This person's corpse slowly knelt on the ground. Traces of black Qi continued to spread from his body, causing his corpse to move involuntarily.
"This is a deadly poison. You'll change immediately upon contact with it. You can even sense it. Be careful not to let any of them escape!"
The lieutenant shouted loudly.
"Yes, Sir!"
Seeing this scene, even though the soldiers had some feelings for their comrades previously, they were now thrown beyond the clouds. Their halberds were like a forest, and together with the bows and crossbows, they guarded the surroundings tightly.
Fortunately, these monsters were only wandering in the black fog, trying their best to absorb the Dragon Bane. Although it looked creepy, they were safe.
"What is this? Golden Thug? Dragon Bane? Ghostly Thug? Yet, it's not! "
Wu Ming was also quite interested in these things. However, after looking at them for a while, he slowly turned around and left. "Shang Jie was here just now, but he's been moved again!"
He was not the only one who had the Dragon Bane.
It was just that there were very few people who could see it, and the depth of it varied.
At this moment, the other Taoists looked at each other and turned around, preparing to give chase.
Suddenly, their expressions changed. "The Emperor's Qi is broken? Is Shang Jie dead? "
"Hmm?"
In Wu Ming's eyes, the last bit of Great Shang's remnant Qi disappeared in an instant. It was very mysterious.
Basically, in such a situation, there was a high chance that Shang Jie had become a dead man!
But when Wu Ming opened his eyes to the fullest, he was still able to see that trace of indistinct and intermittent remnant, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart. This is someone executing a Dao art to conceal it! Even though Shang Jie has already become the ruler of a dead country, his cultivation must be extraordinary to be able to do this. He must be at least a Heavenly Master! "
Looking at the Perfected Person necromancer who was like a headless fly, his figure gradually disappeared.
"Du Gong?"
A younger Taoist saw this and immediately became anxious. "Daoist Zhai Xing's attitude is ambiguous. He's walking alone now, so he must know the secret. Should we …?"
In the Dao sects, those with the title of Du Gong were the higher-ups of the Dao lineage. They were second only to the Dao Master, and their cultivation was profound. This was a Perfected Person with three long strands of beard and a sage-like demeanor.
Hearing this, his eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard. "Nonsense! Zhai Xing Zi has the cultivation of a Perfected Lord. If we go, it'll be like throwing an egg against a rock. "
"Then we'll let him make a great contribution?"
The younger Taoist was a little anxious. "Then wouldn't the Maoshan Sect be able to suppress us, Xuan Zhen Sect?"
"With a Perfected Lord, the Maoshan Sect will prosper. That's reasonable!"
Perfected Du Gong's eyes flashed. "Moreover … even if Zhai Xing Zi can capture Shang Jie, the one who will have a headache is not us, but Yu Qing!"
Although they were all from the same lineage of Daoism and were even under King Wu's command, there were still many conflicts between the various lineages.
Previously, with the immense pressure from Shang Jie and the 12 Metal Humanoids, they could still work together to deal with external threats. Now, they could not help but fight against each other.
"It's not impossible to let the Maoshan Sect rise. After all, King Wu has the intention of ordering Yu Qing to govern the world's Daoist sects. If they succeed, wouldn't we be under their control?"
Perfected Du Gong's eyes flashed. "Towards this person, not only can we not be enemies, we have to rope him in and push him to go against Daoist Yu Qing … Do you understand?"
If not for the fact that this Daoist was his nephew and the successor that he had painstakingly groomed, he would not have bothered to say a word and would have sent him back to the sect to face the wall.
"I see, I'll naturally obey your orders!"
The young Daoist bowed and his eyes were filled with envy.
Daoist Zhai Xing Zi looked a few years younger than him, but he was already a Perfected Human Immortal and had a chance of becoming an Earth Immortal! He even had to rope in his elders.
Compared to him, although he had cultivated to the level of a sorcerer and was hailed as a genius and a true Daoist disciple, he was still a far cry from him.
…
"Your Majesty, you're awake now …"
Shang Jie slowly opened his eyes and saw a secret chamber. The dim yellow oil lamp illuminated the surroundings, slightly driving away the darkness and bringing with it a heavy atmosphere.
"Underground secret chamber?"
He slowly straightened his body and heard the faint sounds of fighting. His expression changed again. "How are my Metal Humanoids? What about those rebels? "
"I'll let Your Majesty know that the twelve Metal Humanoids have already been crushed by the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire. King Wu's army has killed their way into the imperial city. Great Shang is finished!"
The person who appeared in front of Shang Jie was a black-robed man. There seemed to be a layer of fog on his face, faintly discernible, revealing an extremely ordinary face. However, it also gave off a sense of falsehood.
"It's you …"
Shang Jie did not notice anything and muttered, "I've seen you at the Imperial Preceptor's place …"
"Your Majesty is brilliant and has a photographic memory. I'm impressed!"
This person was the Blood Pact Master. At this moment, he wore a hideous smile. "I still have to thank Your Majesty for granting me this humble abode. This secret chamber is located underground. With the current chaos in the imperial city, King Wu's army won't be able to find this place in a short period of time …"
"What are you trying to do? Rebel? "
Shang Jie's expression immediately changed because he couldn't sense a shred of respect from the Sacrificial Blood Alliance's Master!
Without a doubt! To those in power, such people were the scariest!
So what if he was the Emperor? Even if he was willing to be cut into pieces, he still dared to pull the Emperor down from his horse! Without respect, no matter what the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were in front of him, they were just mortals that could be knocked down with a brick!
Such a person disregarded the rules and had the possibility of breaking all shackles!
Shang Jie's forehead was slightly covered in cold sweat. He thought of the first time he saw this person. The other party was kneeling on the ground with an extremely respectful look. He was even more resentful. "I hate that I didn't see through this rebellious subject back then. Otherwise, I would have been hacked into pieces!"
