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

Seeing Yuanshi like this, Jieyin hurriedly stopped him and earnestly advised, "Impulsiveness is the devil!"

"The Shang Dynasty's fortune is flourishing. If you dare attack the Human Emperor, you'll be the one to suffer in the end!"

Zhunti quickly echoed him, "That's right, that's right. We can't act recklessly at a time like this!"

Hearing their warnings, Yuanshi said unhappily, "Are we really going to let such a perfect opportunity slip away?"

The Two Western Saints could only wear bitter expressions. They had no idea what to do either.

Besides, even if they had their sect's disciples attack the Shang Dynasty at this point, it would be useless, because the Shang Dynasty was currently protected by the power of fate.

"If we want to stop the Shang Dynasty's power of fate from growing, the only way is to deal with Di Xin!"

Yuanshi's expression was frighteningly calm as he slowly said, "If I can't tempt him this time, then I'll see how capable he really is of resisting my other methods!"

The Two Western Saints exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.

Yuanshi had no intention of saying more. Without uttering another word, he left directly.

He went to see Nuwa again.

Yuanshi immediately explained the purpose of his visit.

"Borrow my Monster Summoning Banner?"

After understanding Yuanshi's purpose, Nuwa pondered in secret. This magical treasure had a rather peculiar function, but its practical use was limited.

What does he want it for?

After thinking for a moment, Nuwa still brought out the treasure and handed it to him.

With the Monster Summoning Banner in hand, Yuanshi returned to Di Xin's imperial palace. He waved it several times, and before long, three demons and monsters were drawn over.

"Jade Pipa Spirit!"

"Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit!"

"Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit!"

After the three demons arrived, they were suppressed by the sage might radiating from Yuanshi and did not dare raise their heads.

Yuanshi looked at the three of them with undisguised disgust, but he still said, "I need your help with something."

"If you accomplish this for me, I can grant each of you an opportunity."

Hearing this, the three monsters hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Go and seduce the Emperor of Shang!"

"Then go to his cities, burn, kill, and loot, and ruin the Shang Dynasty's power of fate!"

After seeing the three demons agree, Yuanshi told them darkly what they had to do.

The three were extremely shocked by Yuanshi's words, but they had no choice but to carry them out.

Yuanshi watched gloomily as they headed toward Di Xin's direction, his expression growing even more sinister.

For now, everything depended on how well the three demons performed...

After Di Xin returned to normal, news came that Su Hu had been won over.

The good news was that he had not caused much of an impact before being suppressed and arrested.

For the sake of his life, Marquis of Yizhou sent his stunning daughter, Daji, to Di Xin.

Just as the Nine-Tailed Fox was wondering how to approach Di Xin, Daji happened to arrive, and a flash of inspiration crossed her mind.

A moment later, the Nine-Tailed Fox had taken over Daji's body and followed the procession to the Emperor's palace.

As soon as she arrived at the palace, Daji completely bewitched the Yellow Emperor, causing him to neglect the affairs of state for several days. All day long, he wasted away with her in the palace, drowning in luxury and pleasure.

When the court officials saw this, they came one after another to submit memorials advising Di Xin.

But he completely ignored what the officials said. He remained immersed in his own pleasures, indulging in wine and amusements.

Seeing that Di Xin still refused to repent, they all came to Di Xin's palace and earnestly tried to persuade him.

Di Xin answered them perfunctorily, and after finally sending them all away, his expression changed as if he had turned into another person. His face became livid and terrifying.

"Outrageous!"

Di Xin slammed his palm down, sending all the memorials on the table flying. Blazing fury burned in his eyes.

He was the ruler of an entire nation. Did he not even have a little time to enjoy himself?

Seeing this, Daji hurriedly began speaking ill of the officials.

After hearing what Daji said, Di Xin's expression shifted repeatedly, and he immediately lost his patience.

He assigned several fabricated crimes to the officials who had just come to advise him and had them executed on the spot.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the court became extremely tense, and everyone feared bringing disaster upon themselves.

They knew that Daji had caused all of this, so they all wanted to cut her into a thousand pieces!

But Daji was also doing everything she could to eliminate the officials. She had joined forces with two of them—You Hun and Fei Zhong—and had already elevated them into important ministers of the court.

With the cooperation of the three of them, many loyal officials were killed just like that.

Some of their fates were even more tragic, truly too horrible to look at.

Wudang already knew about these matters, but she did not know how to deal with them.

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

Seeing this, Wudang knew she could not delay any longer.

Even the Empress was dead. If things led to even more serious consequences, it would be bad.

Thus, she hurried back to report to Tongtian.

Inside Biyou Palace, she told Tongtian everything that had happened.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian let out a mocking laugh.

He already knew who was behind this. Other than Yuanshi, who else could it be?

That Daji was merely a little fox spirit he had recruited.

"Master, the Shang Dynasty's court is already in dire straits!"

"If the Grand Tutor still doesn't return to court, I'm afraid the Shang Dynasty will soon be finished!"

Wudang spoke with a worried expression. She did not dare act recklessly.

"You don't need to concern yourself with Daji."

"Return to the Shang Dynasty first. Once Daji is executed, tell Di Xin that the Chan Sect is trying to ruin the power of fate protecting the Shang Dynasty."

Tongtian was not flustered in the slightest. He spoke slowly and calmly.

Hearing her master's words, Wudang knew that he would handle the matter properly, so she hurried back to court.

"Yuanshi's little brat has been jumping around recklessly for so long. We can't just watch him brazenly do whatever he wants, can we?"

Tongtian muttered to himself.

Thinking it over, he knew that Yuanshi had likely been provoked by the Shang Dynasty.

After all, Yuanshi had spent so long plotting this. He was on the verge of success, so how could he possibly endure it if he failed at this point?!

"How can I use one enemy to deal with another?"

Tongtian pondered this question.

Dealing with a mere Daji would be simple.

Even the weakest disciple of the Interception Sect could easily take care of her.
