Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Nüwa summoned the demons, the Evil Spirit between heaven and earth suddenly became more intense. A murderous aura drifted between heaven and earth. All the practitioners could clearly feel the arrival of the Cultivation Tribulation. Everyone chose to shut themselves in, hoping to avoid the Cultivation Tribulation.
In the Aquamarine Palace, the Tongtian Hierarch could not help but sigh when he saw Nüwa summoning the demons. How could he not know the bleak fate of the Shang Dynasty? However, he could not do anything about it. On the surface, Nüwa summoned the demons to destroy the fate of the Shang Dynasty. In fact, it was just Tendo borrowing Nüwa's hand. Although he was a Sage, he could not go against heaven.
However, the Tongtian Hierarch was not the kind of person who would give up easily. The Tongtian Hierarch founded the Jie Sect and emphasized on education without discrimination in order to intercept the Heaven's Secret. This Heaven's Secret was also what the Tongtian Hierarch wanted to strive for for his disciples. Although the Battle of Gods Investiture had not yet begun, the Tongtian Hierarch already had a bad feeling in his heart.
As the saying goes, the peak of prosperity leads to decline. Now in the Great Desolation, the Jie Sect was the largest sect in the Great Desolation. Of course, the premise was that this Great Desolation did not include the Blood Sea. The Asura Tribe in the River Styx were all disciples of the Asura Sect. Even a hundred Jie Sects could not be compared to them. After all, the population of the Asura Tribe was there. The Jie Sect did not have such good resources.
Putting aside the Asura Sect, the disciples of the Jie Sect could be said to be everywhere in the Great Desolation. The Human Tribe, the Demon Tribe, the Dragon Tribe, and so on. This also made the fate of the Jie Sect reach the peak. However, the worst thing was that although the Tongtian Hierarch had the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation that could not be broken by the Four Sages, the formation did not have the function of suppressing the fate of the great sect.
Now that the fate of the Jie Sect was connected to that of the Shang Dynasty, the fate of the Shang Dynasty showed signs of decline. This would naturally affect the fate of the Jie Sect. The Tongtian Hierarch naturally knew the fate of the loss of fate. Looking at the two formations floating in his hands, he knew that this was the strongest guarantee for the survival of the Jie Sect and the disciples of the Jie Sect. Whether it succeeded or not, it depended on the will of the heavens.
However, what puzzled the Tongtian Hierarch was that it was River Styx who had destroyed the evil corpse of Zhunti and found out that he had plotted against the Human Sovereign. He could have used the Holy Land of the Human Tribe to put pressure on the Western Sect or take the opportunity to suppress the Western Sect. However, River Styx did not do anything after that. There was no follow-up at all. This was really suspicious. This was not the style of River Styx.
… ….
On the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Zhunti was originally depressed because the evil corpse was slaughtered and his plan was ruined. Although he was exposed, his plan was successful. Nüwa's summoning of demons destroyed the fate of the Cheng Tang. Cheng Tang was in chaos, so the Western Sect could take advantage of the chaos. Although the process was a little complicated, the result was finally what he wanted.
Looking at the excited Zhunti, Summon said with a bitter face, "Junior, don't be happy too early. You plotted against the Human Sovereign. River Styx should have made a big fuss about it, but now there is no news. Nüwa's summoning of demons was supposed to be the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, but only two of them were sent back. These two things are very strange. We have to be careful."
Zhunti was not as pessimistic as Summon. He said with a smile, "Senior, don't worry. Although I did something to King Zhou, I didn't leave any evidence. River Styx can't do anything to me. As for the Little Goblin that disappeared, I guess it was Nüwa's Daoist Friend who liked it and kept it by her side. It can be considered as a replacement for Ling Zhuzi. There's nothing to be surprised about."
Hearing Zhunti's words, the bitterness on Summon's face finally disappeared. However, there was still a little worry on his face. He said to himself, "I hope it's like what Junior said. I hope I'm overthinking it!" Although he said so, Summon still had a trace of worry in his heart. During the Cultivation Tribulation, nothing could be taken lightly.
… ….
In Zhaoge, after Nüwa went to the temple to offer incense, King Zhou returned to the palace as if he had become a different person. He could not forget the beauty of Nüwa and forgot all the affairs of the imperial court. He lay in his bedroom all day drunk and talked about Nüwa's beauty from time to time. He ignored the concubines in his harem and drank all day to drown his sorrows. All the officials were very worried about him.
At this time, Fei Zhong, the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Palace, had an idea. Since King Zhou was so obsessed with Nüwa's beauty, it seemed that he had seen a great opportunity to be promoted. Therefore, he went to the palace to visit King Zhou. When he saw King Zhou raised his cup and was drunk, he asked, "Your Majesty, you are addicted to this cup today. Do you have any worries in your heart?" Although he already knew the answer, Fei Zhong still felt that it was better to be careful.
King Zhou shook the jade cup in his hand and said, "Fei Zhong, you said that I am the King of the world, but why can't I have a woman as beautiful as Goddess Nüwa? Looking at the imperial harem, who can compare with Goddess Nüwa? My dear minister, do you have any good strategies to relieve the pain of loneliness?"
When Fei Zhong heard this, he suddenly had an idea and replied, "Your Majesty, you are the King of the world. You are richer than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Everything in the world belongs to you. Whatever you want, you can get it at your fingertips. Your Majesty, you can send a decree to the four vassals to choose a hundred beauties from each town to be your court. You don't have to worry about not having beautiful women to accompany you."
When King Zhou heard this, he was overjoyed. The next morning, he announced the decree in front of everyone. However, Shang Rong led the officials to remonstrate with him, so King Zhou had to give up. Although the matter was not done, Fei Zhong was appreciated by King Zhou. Fei Zhong said, "Your Majesty, because of the Prime Minister's remonstrance, you gave up choosing beautiful women in the world. This is your benevolence.
When King Zhou heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered Fei Zhong to do this. It happened that the four vassals led many smaller vassals to go to Chaoge. At this time, Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong was not in the court. When they heard that Fei Zhong was trusted by King Zhou, they all gave him gifts to make friends with him. Only the Marquis of Ji Province, Su Hu, who had a fiery temper and was upright and plainspoken, did not give him gifts to curry favor with him.
When Fei Zhong knew this, he was quite angry, so he sent someone to investigate. He found that Su Hu had a daughter named Daji, who was extremely beautiful. He was overjoyed and immediately went to the palace to report this to King Zhou. When King Zhou heard this, he was overjoyed, so he summoned Su Hu to come to the court and asked him to send his daughter to the palace as a concubine.
However, Su Hu was stubborn. He righteously refused King Zhou. When King Zhou heard this, he was furious and wanted to punish Su Hu. Fortunately, Shang Rong and the officials pleaded for Su Hu to be spared. However, Su Hu was also ordered to return to the country and not to stay in Chaoge for long. After Su Hu heard this, he thanked Shang Rong and the other officials and left.
When he returned to the courier station, the officials heard this and all complained about the injustice for Su Hu. The more Su Hu thought about it, the angrier he became. When he left Chaoge, he wrote in the city, "The King has broken the rules of the officials. There are five failures. Su Hu of Ji Province will never go to the court." After he finished writing the poem, he led his officials out of Chaoge and went straight to his fief, Ji Province. They did not stop along the way.
When Fei Zhong knew about this, he immediately reported it to King Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, Su Hu was not satisfied with your Majesty's request, so he wrote a poem of sixteen words on the Meridian Gate. I have made a copy and presented it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please deal with it."
When King Zhou saw the poem written by Su Hu, he was furious. He said, "The thief is so rude. I understand the virtue of God, so I spared his death and allowed him to return to the country. He dared to write the rebellious words of 'never going to the court.' This is unforgivable. Send an order to Yin Polai, Chao Tian, Lu Xiong, and the others to lead the army and eliminate Su Hu."
The army of the Shang Dynasty approached Ji Province. Su Hu quickly got into formation to fight. There were capable people on both sides, so they were in a stalemate. When Su Hu's daughter Daji saw that the people of Ji Province were suffering because of her, she could not bear it. She could only tearfully discuss with her father Su Hu and ask him to offer her to King Zhou to solve the crisis of Ji Province.
He also received a letter from the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, saying that the situation was serious. For the sake of the people of Ji Province, Su Hu could only reluctantly open the city and surrender. He offered his daughter Daji to King Zhou. When King Zhou heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the army to retreat and asked Su Hu to bring his daughter to Chaoge. The turmoil of the Shang Dynasty began.
