Yinshang dominated the Tribe of Jieism, which greatly increased the Fate of the Tribe of Jieism. It also allowed the Tongtian Hierarch to seize some Fate from River Styx. Although the Tongtian Hierarch did not care, Lao Tzu, Celestial Lord Yuanshi, Summon, and Zhunti were still tempted by the Four Sages. The competition for Fate had always been the most important thing for the Sages. Now that River Styx's strength had greatly increased, they were naturally eager to improve their strength, and Fate was the best help.
Although the Great Desolation was great, Fate was limited, and some of it could not be fought for by the Sages, such as the Blood Sea of River Styx, the Fate of the Asura Tribe, and the Asura Tribe. Among the Sages, the Tongtian Hierarch probably had the most Fate. With the help of Fate and the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation that could not be broken except by the Four Sages, the Tongtian Hierarch was already above the other Sages.
Although Lao Tzu, Yuanshi, and the Tongtian Hierarch were three brothers, their temperaments were completely different, and so were the doctrines of the three religions. When they attacked River Styx last time, Lao Tzu and Celestial Lord Yuanshi not only invited Houtu and Nüwa, but also invited the Tongtian, one of the Sanqing. Unfortunately, the Tongtian and Nüwa both chose to refuse.
This made the already cracked relationship worse, and the Battle of Gods Investiture pushed the relationship between the three to the edge of a cliff. The Tribe of Chan settled in Xiqi and assisted Xiqi together with the Western Religious Sect, which made the Tongtian Hierarch even more disappointed. Although there was no right or wrong in this matter, the Tongtian Hierarch was naturally heartbroken when he thought of the brotherly love between the three of them for countless years.
After the pain, the Tongtian Hierarch became determined. Since there was no other choice, he could only choose to accept it, because it was not only for himself, but also for the entire Tribe of Jie and the future of his thousands of disciples. He had to fight. Even if he had to face the Four Sages, he, the Tongtian Hierarch, had nothing to fear. If River Styx could do it, so could he.

Time was broken, and in the blink of an eye, it was a new year. The cold winter was gone, and spring returned. Although it was still a little cold, it could not hinder the recovery of all things. In the new year, people began to be busy for their lives, such as plowing and sowing. Everything was prepared for the new year. Without the effort at the moment, there would be no harvest in the future.
In the Marquis' Mansion of Xiqi, they were also preparing. Now that the seven-year period was up, they did not see any sign of Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, being released. Bo Yikao and Ji Fa were naturally very anxious, so they summoned the important ministers in the imperial court to conspire on how to save Ji Chang, including the State Preceptor, Shen Gongbao, and the Superior Physician, Jiang Ziya.
Bo Yikao looked at the people present and said, "Now my father has been trapped in Zhaoge for seven years, but there is no sign of him being released. I am very anxious. Today I summoned you here to discuss how to save my father. Do you have any suggestions?" If they wanted to save Ji Chang, they had to have a detailed plan. They had to save Ji Chang, but they could not bear the name of a traitor. They had to take care of both.
After hearing this, everyone was talking about it. After thinking for a while, Jiang Ziya said, "First Young Master, if you want to save Marquis, you'd better ask King Zhou for mercy. Now in Zhaoge City, King Zhou is addicted to wine and women and favors the Demon Empress. Treacherous ministers in the imperial court are in power. If you want to save Marquis, you can ask Fei Zhong and You Hun for help and bribe them with money.
Although Fei Zhong and You Hun are treacherous ministers, they are deeply trusted by King Zhou. If they speak to King Zhou, we will have a greater chance of saving Marquis. In addition, we can also ask Abigan for help and ask him to persuade King Zhou to release Marquis. In this way, we will have more confidence. "
After hearing this, Bo Yikao and Ji Fa felt that it was reasonable. The others also nodded. Bo Yikao patted the table and said, "Well, as Doctor Jiang said, I will go there in person. If I can't save my father, I will not give up. As for the affairs in the imperial court, they will all be handled by my second brother. You all need to help my second brother."
Hearing this, Ji Fa stood up and said, "Big brother, you can't do this. As the eldest son of Father and the heir of Xiqi, how can you go to Zhaoge City in person? Now that King Zhou is muddle-headed and tyrannical, what should we do if he also detains you? Why don't I go to Zhaoge City on behalf of you to save Father? With you in charge of Xiqi, nothing will go wrong."
After hearing this, San Yisheng and the others also tried to dissuade Bo Yikao. After all, Bo Yikao was the eldest son of Marquis of the West and the first heir of Xiqi. If he couldn't save Marquis of the West Ji Chang and something happened to him, it would definitely cause chaos in Xiqi. In their opinion, Ji Fa's suggestion was feasible. It could not only save Ji Chang but also protect Bo Yikao. After all, Ji Fa was the second son. Even if he was detained by King Zhou, Xiqi would not be shaken.
However, Bo Yikao was a kind person. How could he let his brother take risks for him? "I appreciate your kindness, but I have to go to Zhaoge City this time. Only by going there can King Zhou believe the sincerity of Xiqi's tribute. At that time, I will bring the three treasures handed down by my ancestors to King Zhou in order to save my father."
Seeing that Bo Yikao was so determined and what he said was reasonable, they couldn't dissuade him. Seeing this, Shen Gongbao knew that the opportunity had come, so he said, "Since the First Young Master has to go to Zhaoge City to atone for your father's crime, then the Poor Way will go with you. This trip to Zhaoge City is very dangerous. The Poor Way thinks that I have some magic arts to protect the First Young Master."
Hearing this, everyone was a little happy. Of course, they knew Shen Gongbao's magic power. If he could accompany Bo Yikao, they would be more assured. At this time, San Yisheng also said, "This trip to Zhaoge City will inevitably involve dealing with the ministers of King Zhou of Shang. I would like to go with the First Young Master and persuade the ministers to help you save Marquis."
When Bo Yikao saw this, he was overjoyed, "Good, good, good. With the Imperial Advisor and Great Doctor San accompanying us, we will definitely be able to save Father. Since that's the case, Great Doctor San, I'll have to trouble you to prepare those three treasures, as well as some gold, silver and jewels. As for the matters of the imperial court, I'll have to trouble Er Di and everyone else."
After a few days, everything was ready. Bo Yikao and his people set out, accompanied by hundreds of elite soldiers and several carriages of treasures. The group of people set out for Zhaoge City in a mighty manner. Before that, Shen Gongbao had already gone to Zhaoge City to inquire about the news and make some preparations in advance. After all, for him, this trip couldn't be lost.
… ….
In the secret chamber of the palace of Zhaoge City, King Zhou sat cross-legged on a stone platform, with a black flag floating above his head, constantly gathering the Evil Qi of Heaven and Earth for his cultivation. Suddenly, a figure appeared in the secret chamber. King Zhou immediately stopped his cultivation and knelt down, saying, "Little Goblin greets Ancestor. Ancestor, what can I do for you today?"
Although Wu Zhiqi was in a human body now, he couldn't forget the fact that he was a demon in his previous life, so he always called himself a demon. And now, he couldn't really be regarded as a human anymore. After getting the Origin of Asura, his bloodline had already begun to transform into the Asura Clan. When he completely condensed the Real Body of Asura, he couldn't be regarded as a human anymore, but a real Asura Clan.
Of course, the visitor was River Styx. He Styx sat on the stone platform and looked at King Zhou, saying, "Wu Zhiqi, it seems that your cultivation has been going well recently. With the help of the Asura Flag, the luck of the Human Tribe, and the infinite Evil Qi generated by the Cultivation of Heaven and Earth, your cultivation has improved very fast. If you continue at this speed, it won't be long before you break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. Well, get up and say something."
King Zhou stood up and said, "It's all thanks to Ancestor. Without the Origin of Asura that you gave me, Little Goblin's cultivation wouldn't have improved so fast. Little Goblin owes everything to Ancestor. If Ancestor has any orders, Little Goblin will do his best to repay Ancestor's kindness of rebirth." Although he was the Human Emperor now, he clearly knew how he got everything.
After hearing this, River Styx was very satisfied with King Zhou's attitude. He appreciated people like him. A wise man submits to circumstances. Since King Zhou placed himself in the right position, River Styx didn't waste his cultivation. As long as King Zhou didn't betray him, River Styx wouldn't be stingy with his rewards. "Wu Zhiqi, you're quite sensible. Very good. Have you done what I asked you to do before?"
King Zhou replied respectfully, "I've done what Ancestor asked me to do. Although Ji Chang is imprisoned, he's living well. Little Goblin has secretly let him take the elixir that can prolong his life. As for the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Little Goblin doesn't care about her. But this demon has become more and more ferocious recently. Do you want Little Goblin to warn him?"
