He stared intently at Di Xin, unable to hold back any longer. He raised his hand, ready to deal with Di Xin.

Seeing Yuanshi in this state, Jieyin quickly stopped him, saying with earnest persuasion, "Impulse is the devil!"

"The fate of the Shang Dynasty is strong. If you dare to attack the Human Emperor, you will be the one to suffer in the end!"

Zhunti quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right! We can't act recklessly at this time!"

Hearing their dissuasion, Yuanshi said with great dissatisfaction, "Such a perfect opportunity, and we're just going to let it slip away?"

The Two Western Saints could only wear bitter expressions, not knowing what to do.

Moreover, even if they were to order their disciples to attack the Shang Dynasty at this time, it would be useless, as the Shang Dynasty was now protected by the power of destiny.

"If you want to stop the growth of the Shang Dynasty's destiny, the only way is to deal with Di Xin!"

Yuanshi's face was terrifyingly calm at this moment. He slowly said, "If I can't tempt him this time, I'll see how much longer he can resist my other methods!"

The Two Western Saints exchanged glances, full of confusion.

Yuanshi had no intention of saying more and left without another word.

He once again went to find Nuwa.

Yuanshi got straight to the point about the purpose of his visit.

"Borrow my Monster Summoning Banner?"

Understanding Yuanshi's purpose, Nuwa pondered in secret. This magic treasure had peculiar effects but wasn't very useful in practice.

What did he want to do with it?

After a moment of thought, Nuwa still handed the magic treasure over to him.

Carrying the Monster Summoning Banner, Yuanshi returned to Di Xin's imperial palace. He waved the banner a few times, and soon, three demons and monsters were attracted.

"Jade Pipa Spirit!"

"Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit!"

"Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit!"

As the three monsters arrived, they were suppressed by the saintly aura emanating from Yuanshi, not daring to lift their heads.

Yuanshi looked at the three with disdain but had to say, "I need your help with something right now."

"Help me with this, and I can give you an opportunity."

Upon hearing this, the three monsters quickly nodded in agreement.

"Go and tempt the Emperor of Shang!"

"Then go into his city and commit arson, murder, and looting to corrupt the Shang Dynasty's destiny!"

After seeing the three demons nod in agreement, Yuanshi grimly told them what they needed to do.

Hearing Yuanshi's words, they were deeply shocked, but they had no choice but to comply.

Yuanshi watched them head towards Di Xin with a dark expression, his face growing even more sinister.

The rest of the time would depend on how well the three demons performed their task...

After Di Xin recovered his senses, news arrived that Su Hu had been subverted.

However, the good news was that he was suppressed and arrested before he could cause much damage.

To save his own life, the Marquis of Yizhou sent his stunningly beautiful daughter, Daji, to Di Xin.

Just as the Nine-Tailed Fox was wondering how to approach Di Xin, Daji arrived. A flash of inspiration struck its mind.

A moment later, the Nine-Tailed Fox had possessed Daji's body and joined the entourage heading to the emperor's palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Daji completely captivated Di Xin. He neglected state affairs for days, spending his time indulging in a life of luxury and debauchery with her in the palace.

Seeing this, the court officials came one after another to impeach Di Xin.

However, he completely ignored what the officials said, continuing to indulge in his life of pleasure and revelry.

Seeing that Di Xin remained unrepentant, they all went to his palace, earnestly trying to persuade him.

Di Xin perfunctorily agreed to everything, and once he had finally seen them all out, his face changed drastically, turning ashen and terrifying.

"Outrageous!"

Di Xin slammed his palm onto the memorial tablets on the table, sending them flying. Fire burned in his eyes.

As the ruler of a nation, did he not even have time for a little enjoyment?

Seeing this, Daji quickly began speaking ill of the ministers.

Hearing Daji's words, Di Xin's expression shifted dramatically, and he could no longer tolerate it.

He immediately concocted several baseless charges against the ministers who had just advised him and had them executed on the spot.

At this point, the atmosphere in the court became extremely tense, with everyone fearing they would bring trouble upon themselves.

They knew that Daji was behind it all and wished they could tear her to shreds!

However, Daji was also doing her best to eliminate these ministers. She had already allied with two ministers, You Hun and Fei Zhong, and had developed them into important officials in the court.

With the three of them working together, many loyal ministers were framed and killed.

What's more, some of the scenes were truly horrific to behold.

Wudang already knew about these events, but she didn't know how to handle them.

Just as Wudang was at a loss, even Empress Jiang was tortured to death by Daji!

Seeing this, Wudang knew she couldn't drag her feet any longer.

If even the Empress was dead, it would be bad if more severe consequences arose.

So, she quickly returned to report to Tongtian.

Inside Biyou Palace, she recounted everything to Tongtian.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian let out a sarcastic laugh.

He already knew who was responsible. Besides Yuanshi, who else could it be?

That Daji was just a little fox spirit he had found.

"Master, the court of the Shang Dynasty is in dire straits!"

"If the Grand Tutor doesn't return to court soon, I fear the Shang Dynasty will be lost!"

Wudang said with great worry, not daring to act rashly.

"Don't worry about the matter of Daji."

"First, return to the Shang Dynasty. After Daji is executed, inform Di Xin about the Heavenly Origin Sect's efforts to ruin the Shang Dynasty's fate."

Tongtian wasn't flustered at all, speaking in a calm tone.

Hearing his master's words, she knew he would handle the situation, so she hurried back to court.

"Yuanshi, that brat is causing trouble. I can't just stand by and watch him act shamelessly, can I?"

Tongtian muttered to himself today.

Thinking about it from another angle, he knew Yuanshi must have been provoked by the Shang Dynasty.

After all, he had planned for so long, and success was within reach. If it failed now, how could he possibly endure it?!

"How to use one barbarian to control another?"

Tongtian was pondering this question.

Dealing with a mere Daji would be very simple.

Even the lowest-cultivated disciple in the Intercepting Sect could easily take care of her.
