The Taoist listened to Daji's longing words and said with a smile, "Indeed. I saved you to let you reunite with Bo Yikao, but not now. You still need to wait for some time. I can also teach you a set of cultivation methods. When you become an immortal in the future, you can be with Bo Yikao for a long time. But you have to promise me one thing."
Daji heard it and the joy in her heart disappeared. Although she was inexperienced, she knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The person in front of her saved her, taught her cultivation methods, and even sent her to reunite with Bo Yikao. Obviously, he wouldn't do it for free. Daji asked in a low voice, "What do you want me to do?"
The Taoist laughed and said, "Hahaha, Su Daji, don't worry. I don't want to threaten you and Bo Yikao, two mortals. As for what I want you to do, you will know in the future." After saying that, he waved his sleeve and a cloud appeared on the ground, carrying the two of them into the sky. Su Daji took a last look at the direction of Su Hu's army, and then the two of them disappeared without a trace.
… ….
On the other side, Su Hu brought the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to Zhaoge to meet King Zhou. When King Zhou heard this, he originally wanted to behead Su Hu in public. However, Fei Zhong suggested, "Your Majesty, you can first meet Su Hu's daughter, Su Daji. If Su Daji's beauty satisfies your Majesty, you can pardon Su Hu. If you are not satisfied, you can behead Su Hu together with Su Daji in public."
After hearing it, King Zhou asked Su Hu and 'Su Daji' to go to the palace. When the nine-tailed fox saw King Zhou, she bowed and said, "Su Daji, the daughter of the guilty official, greets Your Majesty." The nine-tailed fox's cherry-like red lips opened slightly, and her eyes were like a pair of curved phoenix eyes. The corners of her eyes were full of feminine charm. Although she only had light makeup, she still looked very charming.
Su Daji's words made King Zhou's soul go out of his body. After he came back to his senses, King Zhou ordered his servants, "Send the beauty to the Palace of Immortals and wait for me to return." Soon after, he issued an edict: "Su Hu and his family are pardoned of their crimes, Su Hu Guan is reinstated to his post, and there will be new relatives of the emperor. His monthly salary will be increased by two thousand shi. A banquet will be held in Xianqing Hall for three days. Hundreds of officials will congratulate the emperor and praise him for three days. Two civil officials and three military officials will send him home with glory."
Since the Nine-tailed Fox entered the palace, King Zhou had been fascinated by her. He spent all his time in the imperial court, feasts, and entertainment every night. He neglected the imperial court, and the memorials were piled up like a mountain. He ignored all the officials' remonstrances, and played with the Nine-tailed Fox in the imperial harem every day. He did not know what time was. Many important affairs in the world were waiting for King Zhou to deal with, but they were all abandoned by him.
After the Nine-tailed Fox entered the palace, she not only pleased King Zhou with her beauty, but also bewitched King Zhou with her demonic arts, making him reluctant to leave the imperial harem. Gradually, the Nine-tailed Fox also found the benefits of being King Zhou's concubine. Although she was only a concubine in the imperial harem, the fate of the dynasty had deepened. For her, who had nothing before, it was a blessing from heaven.
In addition, the Nine-tailed Fox also found that there were many great elixirs in the imperial palace. They were inexhaustible, and there were countless rare birds and beasts that she could enjoy every day. Relying on these, the Nine-tailed Fox's cultivation base improved by leaps and bounds. However, because she killed too many rare birds and beasts, and her cultivation base improved too fast, some of the Nine-tailed Fox's demonic Qi leaked out.
Zhaoge's demonic Qi also attracted the attention of Yun Zhongzi, a Qi Practitioner from Mount Zhongnan. Yun Zhongzi was a registered disciple of the Clan of Enlightenment, and his Taoist arts were profound. When he saw Zhaoge's demonic Qi, he came out of the mountain to subdue the demon. Originally, he wanted to kill the Nine-tailed Fox with a wooden sword. However, destiny was not in his favor. King Zhou listened to the Nine-tailed Fox's words and burned the wooden sword.
Under the bewitchment of the Nine-tailed Fox, King Zhou began to become more and more muddle-headed and tyrannical. He created all kinds of appalling and cruel punishments, so that the ministers in the imperial court no longer dared to say anything. Meanwhile, Fei Zhong and You Hun gained King Zhou's trust because of their flattery. The two of them often slandered King Zhou, so the ministers were very afraid of them.
All of this was seen by Empress Jiang, the mistress of the imperial harem. Therefore, she advised King Zhou bluntly. However, King Zhou was already bewitched and would not listen to her. In desperation, Empress Jiang could only make things difficult for the Nine-tailed Fox. The Nine-tailed Fox then plotted with Fei Zhong and framed Empress Jiang to death. Empress Jiang's two sons were also rescued from the execution ground and disappeared without a trace.
After Empress Jiang's death, King Zhou was afraid of his father, Marquis Dong Bo. Under the bewitchment of the Nine-tailed Fox, King Zhou began to become more and more muddle-headed and tyrannical.

The two sons of Empress Jiang were also rescued from the execution ground and disappeared without a trace.
After Empress Jiang's death, King Zhou was afraid that his father, Marquis Dong Bo, Jiang Huanchu, would rebel. Under the suggestion of Fei Zhong and You Hun, King Zhou summoned the four dukes to Zhaoge. He wanted to put the four dukes to death to prevent future troubles. Prime Minister Shang Rong tried to persuade King Zhou to kill himself in the Ninth Palace, but King Zhou did not change his mind. After Shang Rong died in the Ninth Palace, he died in the Ninth Palace.
After King Zhou's decree was passed to the four dukes, they all set off for Zhaoge. Marquis of the West Ji Chang had calculated that he would be trapped in Zhaoge for several years even though his life was not in danger. Therefore, he ordered his eldest son, Bo Yikao, to take over the affairs of Xiqi and not to act rashly. They only needed to wait for his return.
On the way to Zhaoge, Ji Chang was lucky to pick up a baby. He named him Lei Zhenzi and adopted him as his 100th son. Later, he was accepted by Yun Zhongzi as a disciple. When Ji Chang was released in the future, the father and son would meet each other. Ji Chang knew that it was inconvenient to take Lei Zhenzi with him to Zhaoge, so he had to entrust Ling Lei Zhenzi to Yun Zhongzi.
After the four dukes arrived in Zhaoge, King Zhou suddenly launched an attack. Marquis of the East Jiang Huanchu and Marquis of the South E Chongyu were beheaded by King Zhou in public. Marquis of the North Chong Houhu bribed Fei Zhong and You Hun and was spared. Marquis of the West Ji Chang was also spared because of the pleading of his ministers. Besides, he was a sage and King Zhou could not kill him for no reason, so he was also spared. However, he was imprisoned in the prison by King Zhou to prevent future troubles.
At this time, in Kunlun Mountain, Jiang Ziya had been a disciple of the Clan of Enlightenment for 30 or 40 years. However, his cultivation had just reached the Realm of True Immortality, which made Yuanshi quite depressed. Although Jiang Ziya practiced hard, his talent was too poor. Although he had spent a lot of resources, his cultivation was still pitifully low. If it were not for the fact that he was a person who had become a god, Yuanshi would have expelled him from the mountain gate.
