Chapter 370 All Things Are Clear—Flower Fruit Mountain
Nezha's sweeping leg kick forced Yang Jian back ten meters.
He then turned his head to dodge the blade.
A strand of hair fell gently, and he smiled:
"Your Eight-Nine Arcane Skills have improved again."
Yang Jian looked at Nezha and was also startled. Perhaps it was because Nezha had grown up, but his mind was so open that even his moves were light and agile.
Several times, he was amazed by the experience.
Seeing that they had finally stopped fighting, Jiang Ziya hurriedly turned back down and looked up, calling out:
"Yang Jian, hurry and save Lei Zhenzi and Tian Hua."
Yang Jian nodded.
He glanced at Nezha before leaving, then rode away on the wind.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Deng Chanyu.
Upon seeing Yang Jian again, Deng Chanyu was stunned for a moment, then her gaze became even more resolute.
"Long time no see, Yang Jian."
"Ah."
He answered calmly.
Then the three-pointed double-edged sword was pointed directly at her.
"Make your move."
Those three words made Deng Chanyu smile; Yang Jian was showing her respect, the respect due to an opponent.
Knowing full well that he was no match for him, he did not look down on him.
Those beautiful thoughts vanished like the wind at that moment, leaving only one thing: fight!
She didn't use the Five-Colored Stone. Yang Jian's physical body was so strong that he couldn't hurt her at all, and his speed was even faster than the Five-Colored Stone.
Deng Chanyu rode her horse forward, a long spear in her hand.
With Yang Jian present, Deng Jiugong's army could not advance an inch further. At this moment, Jiang Ziya arrived at Deng Jiugong's side riding a Qilin (a mythical creature).
After scattering everyone around them, only the two of them remained.
Jiang Ziya bowed and said:
"General Deng, you are a good general who cares about the people. Regardless of who the wise ruler in this world is willing to seek happiness for the people, it is definitely not Yin Shou. Is it worth risking your life for such a ruler who built Lutai, which wasted the people's money and resources?"
Deng Jiugong gripped the gun tightly in his hand.
He had submitted a letter advising the king, but had never received a reply.
Those heartfelt words sent to Chaoge were like stones sinking into the sea.
Deng Jiugong was also a veteran official of Chaoge, and behind him stood the people of Chaoge.
Jiang Ziya then said:
"What did Grand Tutor Wen get in return for his dedication to Chaoge?"
Deng Jiugong was heartbroken.
With the Grand Tutor dead, there is now no one who can persuade the King to stay.
The last fear died at Jue Long Ridge. The king grieved for a few days, but was then coaxed by Daji into continuing the singing and dancing.
“General Deng cannot become the next Grand Tutor Wen. You are a good general, serving the country and the people. Every time Xiqi conquers a city, we treat the people well. No one in the army camp oppresses or robs. This was ordered by King Wu himself.”
"The people of the world are all innocent."
Deng Jiugong remained silent.
If an old minister is allowed to betray the country, then it is not just the king who is betraying the country.
Jiang Ziya did not force him, but at the end he bowed and said sincerely:
"If General Deng doesn't believe me, he can go and see for himself how the people live inside and outside the city. I, Jiang Ziya, am not the kind of person who speaks nonsense, and Xiqi would never do anything to harm the people."
After saying that, he turned around.
Deng Jiugong was left deep in thought.
How could he not know?
As the war spread, many families in the city were starving.
War is about fighting for the livelihoods of ordinary people.
Unable to cultivate the land, lacking food, and exhausted both physically and mentally, they had long been weary of this kind of life.
Even when his army entered the city, there were still people lying by the roadside who had starved to death and whose bodies had no one to collect them.
He silently watched the crowd wielding spears and fighting fiercely. Were they joining the army because of their loyalty to the emperor and their love for their country?
No, they risked their lives to fill their stomachs because they were so hungry.
Deng Jiugong's gaze turned cold, and he shouted sharply:
"withdraw troops!"
……
Jiuxian Mountain, Taoyuan Cave.
Yin Jiao gazed intently at his master, Guang Chengzi, as he cultivated in the cave.
After going to Xiqi and entering the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, where his three flowers on his head and five qi in his chest were removed, Guang Chengzi began to devote himself to rebuilding his cultivation.
With a solid foundation and high talent, coupled with his mastery of all cultivation methods, he quickly reached the level of Earth Immortal.
However, it's unclear how long it will take to return to the Golden Immortal realm.
However, with the war in Xiqi becoming increasingly intense, Yin Jiao, having now broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm, could no longer contain himself.
As Yin Shou's eldest son, he was hunted down and almost died in Chaoge. His mother, Empress Jiang, had her eyes gouged out, her nose cut off, and was burned alive!
Yin Jiao looked at Guang Chengzi, who was in meditation, and then turned away resolutely.
We arrived at the Peach Blossom Cave, where the precious treasures were kept.
Before him were treasures bestowed upon Guang Chengzi by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and Yin Jiao's heart burned with desire.
He quickly removed the Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe and the Fallen Bell, and said softly:
“Master, your disciple is unfilial. Now that you have lost all your cultivation, only your disciple can avenge this. I hope that you will forgive your disciple for taking the treasure.”
Yin Jiao turned around and was about to leave the cave.
But in that instant, he changed his mind and stood in front of the treasure in the square, the mythical beast carved on the top of it was lifelike.
"The Heaven-Turning Seal..."
This was forged by the Primordial Celestial Venerable from half of the collapsed Buzhou Mountain. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could be knocked down, and a Golden Immortal would have their head smashed open and their soul destroyed.
Since we're borrowing this treasure, we might as well take it along with the treasure that shook the cave, so we can get revenge and return as soon as possible.
Yin Jiao made up his mind and stuffed the Heaven-Turning Seal into the Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe.
Descending the mountain at breakneck speed.
Ever since being rescued by Guang Chengzi, Yin Jiao has never left the mountain.
I was captivated by the scenery outside and lingered there, reluctant to leave.
As they followed the river and drew closer to Xiqi,
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
Yin Jiao immediately turned around and saw a Taoist priest sitting on a black-spotted tiger. He asked in confusion:
"Who are you?"
Shen Gongbao glanced in the direction he went and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying:
"The Crown Prince of Chaoge actually intends to join the army in Xiqi?"
Upon realizing that this person knew his identity, Yin Jiao immediately flew into a rage and said:
"Why not? Is he my father? He listened to the words of a wicked woman, tortured and killed his wife, and hunted down his own son! What's wrong with me taking revenge?"
“That is not true.” Shen Gongbao looked at Yin Jiao and smiled. “The king has had no children for many years, but he still cares about you.”
"Humph."
Although Yin Jiao's face was full of disdain, he no longer retorted sharply.
Seeing that it had worked, Shen Gongbao said again:
"Besides, must revenge necessarily lead to the destruction of the country and the death of its people?"
Yin Jiao was puzzled:
"Is there any other way?"
"Your Highness, you are perfectly capable of inheriting the dynasty. The entire world is in your hands. What grudge cannot be avenged?"
"Who are you? Why are you speaking these words to me?"
“I am your senior martial uncle and also the Imperial Advisor. Your Highness, please consider the meaning of my words. If you are willing, I will assist you.”
As soon as Shen Gongbao finished speaking, he saw Yin Jiao looking deep in thought.
He smiled and waited for him to figure it out.
Yin Jiao had not been cultivating for long and his talent was not high. He was able to reach the Celestial Immortal realm only because Guang Chengzi fed him elixirs to enhance his abilities.
This method of improvement through elixirs is not reliable.
Otherwise, Guang Chengzi and the other twelve Golden Immortals would have already taken medicine and returned to their Golden Immortal form.
Yin Jiao tensed up. For the past ten years, he had been consumed by hatred, wanting Daji to pay with her life. But the words of the man in front of him were a wake-up call.
Yes, Yin Shou had no other children.
Apart from the two brothers, there was no one else to inherit the vast Shang Dynasty.
Once I become the king, what grudge can't I avenge?
The world is at your fingertips.
It's much better than being a disciple on Jiuxian Mountain.
His talent was shallow, and even after breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, he would undergo a tribulation every hundred years or so. This was a test from the Heavenly Dao, and if he could not overcome it, he would still die.
Rather than this, I'd rather be an emperor among men.
At this moment, Yin Jiao pressed down on the Fantian Seal in his sleeve and laughed even more wildly.
With this Heavenly Seal in hand, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to be wary; no one can stop me from becoming king.
He looked at Shen Gongbao with intense gaze and said:
"it is good!"
Yang Jiao sighed.
They left with Mosquito Taoist.
He still chose the right.
Mosquito Taoist, with his arm around Yang Jiao's shoulder, sensed her lack of enthusiasm and poked her cheek, saying:
Why aren't you smiling?
Yang Jiao raised an eyebrow in confusion:
Why did you suddenly start laughing?
Mosquito Taoist pointed at Yin Jiao and said:
"When you saved them in Chaoge, you said he was no good. Now this shows you're really good at reading faces."
She just felt that since Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Maidens' fates had changed, what if the fates of the others could also be different?
It's simply that this hope has been dashed.
Each person's destiny cannot be altered simply because of their own existence.
Yin Jiao's identity is just too awkward. He is the Crown Prince of Chaoge and a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect. In fact, his best choice is to ignore it and not ask questions. Otherwise, he will be criticized no matter where he stands.
Yang Jiao burst out laughing.
She could see as clearly as a mosquito.
"Look, you look beautiful when you smile."
Mosquito Taoist picked up a strand of Yang Jiao's hair and curled it on his finger.
"hiss."
Yang Jiao cried out in pain and gasped for breath.
Mosquito Taoist hurriedly let go of his hand and said nervously:
"Did you get involved?"
Mosquitoes are very cautious.
She hurriedly smoothed Yang Jiao's hair and draped it over her shoulder, not daring to move again.
Yang Jiao's eyes were momentarily confused. That 'all-knowing' ability only appears when something big happens. She had just seen where Kong Kong was!
Yang Jiao suddenly looked towards Huaguo Mountain.
He grabbed the Mosquito Taoist and flew away, saying solemnly:
"Oh no! Something terrible has happened at Flower Fruit Mountain!"
