The Heavenly Dao's Decree
Chu Feng exchanged a few words with Nuwa, then returned to his residence and sat down to meditate.
Several days later, Di Xin, dressed in the Black Bird King Robe, wore a solemn expression.
"Saint Father,"
Di Xin spoke in a deep voice, breaking the silence, "Now that the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb have entered the palace, I feel uneasy."
Although it was Imperial Decree from the Empress Nuwa, those two from the Western Religion have a history of meddling in Eastern affairs, so we must be wary."
Chu Feng picked up the jade cup in front of him, took a small sip, and said, "Not bad. The Western Religion values fate and tells everyone they meet that they have a connection with the West. Now that the Tribulation of Killing the Investiture of the Gods has begun, they will not let go of any opportunity to strengthen themselves."
Chu Feng put down the jade cup and continued, "The entry of the three demons into the palace is both a predetermined fate and a variable."
The Western Religion will definitely use this as an excuse to interfere, sow discord between you and the three demons, and even between you and Nuwa, in order to profit from this."
Upon hearing this, Di Xin nodded. "I will immediately order Fei Zhong and You Hun to closely monitor the movements of the inner palace. Any disturbance will be dealt with swiftly and without exception!"
Chu Feng shook his head and said with a faint smile, "It's better to guide than to block."
Since we know they're coming, why bother hiding it? Just wait."
Di Xin was taken aback for a moment, then understood, and laughed domineeringly, "Very well! I'll play along with them!"
That afternoon, a young palace maid, while cleaning, found an unsigned letter under the base of a palace lantern.
The letter bore several striking characters written in vermilion.
"Three demons have disrupted the government; the Shang Dynasty is doomed!"
The palace maid was terrified. She dared not delay and scrambled to deliver the letter to Shang Rong.
He unfolded the letter, and after reading its contents, his old face instantly turned deathly pale.
"The three demons are spies sent by the Empress Nuwa to bewitch Your Majesty. Their intentions are wicked! They aim to overthrow our Great Shang Dynasty! If Your Majesty does not eliminate them quickly, the Shang Dynasty will be in imminent danger and doomed!"
Every word is piercing to the heart!
Shang Rong could no longer sit still; clutching the letter, she rushed into the palace in a frenzy.
"Your Majesty! This old minister has important matters to report!"
Inside the Imperial Study.
A moment later, Di Xin did not fly into a rage as Shang Rong had expected. Instead, he slammed the letter on the table and said to Chu Feng beside him, "The Saint Father is indeed a prophet. The fish has taken the bait."
Chu Feng's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "This method is far too childish."
However, since they have already made their move, we will go with the flow and use their plan to lure them out."
A glint flashed in Di Xin's eyes. "I understand!"
On the other side, the Nine-tailed Fox was sitting opposite Noble Lady Wang and Hu Ximei.
"Those bald monks from the Western Religion have indeed made their move."
The Jade Pipa Spirit immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Sister! They've gone too far! We sisters came here on Her Empress's orders, yet they dare to slander us like this! Why don't we take the initiative, find out who's behind this, and skin them alive!"
"No!"
The Nine-tailed Fox Daji shook her head. "There must be a sage plotting behind this. Our cultivation is still shallow, so we must not act rashly and disrupt Your Empress's plans. We should observe the situation and follow the arrangements of that Saint Father."
The next day.
A piece of news exploded like a thunderclap throughout Chaoge.
Di Xin issued an edict, claiming that the three demons had bewitched the emperor and defiled the harem, which was an ominous sign. He intended to publicly execute them to uphold the law and appease the people!
The entire court and the public were shaken!
The officials were in uproar!
Meanwhile, the three demons inside the Shouxian Palace, under the escort of a group of armored soldiers, feigned panic and cried out in despair.
Downstairs, a huge crowd gathered to watch.
Upstairs, Di Xin sat high on his throne, his face ashen, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Chu Feng stood behind him, his gaze distant, as if watching a play with a pre-written script.
"The Shichen has come; carry out the execution!"
With a sharp cry from the eunuch, the executioner raised his blade.
The three demons turned pale, collapsed to the ground, and prepared to surrender.
At this critical moment!
Boom--!
Suddenly, the western sky was illuminated by a dazzling golden light!
Auspicious clouds floated, flowers rained down from the sky, and the sounds of Buddhist chants resounded throughout heaven and earth.
An immense and boundless pressure instantly enveloped the entire Chaoge!
Countless civilians, soldiers, and even low-ranking officials were forced to their knees by this oppressive aura, trembling in fear.
A figure slowly emerged from the golden light; it was none other than Zhunti.
(PS: Although Jieyin and Zhunti have already reached the Grand Unity Great Luo, their strength is still limited.)
Reason: With Chu Feng's help, the Heavenly Dao became stronger, and the shackles of the Heavenly Dao also became stronger.
Zhunti's gaze swept across the entire scene. With the air of a savior, he spoke loudly, "You three wicked beasts, your conspiracy to seize the Shang Dynasty's throne—why don't you surrender now and come with me to the West to die!"
The sound echoed continuously over Chaoge.
"Your Majesty, you are mistaken! We sisters are here to assist Your Empress Nuwa. How can there be any talk of conspiracy?"
Upon Zhunti this, Zhunti scoffed, his face full of disdain, "Stop trying to deny it! Even Nuwa can't protect you! Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate you three demons!"
Before the words were even finished, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree gently brushed it!
In an instant, seven-colored divine light burst forth, transforming into an unparalleled torrent that crashed down upon the three demons!
The three demons were unable to move under this oppressive force; the world-destroying divine light was about to completely engulf them...
However, just as the seven-colored divine light was about to turn the three demons and the Star-Picking Tower beneath their feet into dust, a soft sigh rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a hand appeared out of thin air in front of the three demons and gently pushed forward.
The seven-colored divine light silently melted away before this palm.
"Zhunti, how dare you! You trespass into the Emperor's Human Emperor's Palace and attempt to assassinate the Human Emperor's Consort. Do you think I don't exist?"
Zhunti's pupils suddenly contracted.
Just as Zhunti was in a state of shock and caught in a dilemma, a voice transmission sounded in his ear.
[Zhunti, Jieyin, just follow the script. I won't actually kill you.]
After receiving this reassurance, Zhunti instantly understood what he needed to do.
The shock on her face quickly faded, and she bowed repeatedly to Chu Feng, saying, "Senior Chu, you've misunderstood!"
This is a private feud between our Western Religion and these three demons. They have wreaked havoc on the court and deserve to die. I implore you, senior, for the sake of all living beings, not to interfere."
She performed with such emotion and passion that it seemed as if she truly came to uphold justice.
However, Chu Feng didn't buy into his act at all, and directly sneered, "Personal grudges? They are now Human Emperor, and are protected by the Great Shang National Fortune! Your trespassing into the palace and attacking them is an act of contempt for the Human Emperor!"
Chu Feng's voice suddenly turned sharp, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, revealing his murderous intent.
"Today, I will make you pay the price for your foolishness!"
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Feng moved!
He pointed his fingers like a sword and made a Zhunti!
Sizzle!
A burst of sword energy erupted, and wherever it passed, the void shattered inch by inch, revealing dark cracks!
Zhunti was greatly alarmed and dared not hold back in the slightest. He roared, "Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, protect my true body!"
The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree radiated an unprecedentedly brilliant divine light, with seven Great Dao Laws intertwining to form an indestructible barrier in front of them.
Boom!
The sword energy collided violently with the barrier of divine light!
A terrifying energy storm swept out instantly, causing the entire Chaoge Imperial Palace to tremble violently!
If it weren't for an invisible force protecting the people below, the entire Chaoge City would probably have been completely wiped out by this attack!
Even so, Zhunti was still struck by this sword, causing his blood and qi to surge, and he was sent flying thousands of feet away in a sorry state.
She was horrified: Was this all an act? A single sword strike almost severed my Primordial Dao Fruit...
Chu Feng naturally didn't contribute anything.
Otherwise, with his cultivation at the Great Dao Realm, he could have annihilated her soul and destroyed her true spirit.
"Sister, let's help the Saint Father!"
Seeing this, Noble Lady Wang's beautiful eyes blazed with fighting spirit. With a delicate shout, she summoned a jade pipa and, fueled by her demonic power, charged straight at Zhunti spirit!
Not to be outdone, Hu Ximei transformed nine Pheasant Feathers into nine sharp swords, forming a sword formation!
The three demons joined forces, unleashing their demonic powers in a fierce and relentless attack on Zhunti.
Just then, a distant voice rang out from the western horizon...
