Ji Chang's Death, King Wu's Accession

"Call out!"

A Chan Sect Disciple stepped forward, his bow drawn like a full moon, and looked northwest, aiming at Han Rong.

At that moment, the bowstring twanged like thunder, and the arrow streaked across the sky like a shooting star.

A streak of fire instantly swept towards Han Rong on the city gate tower.

Han Rong watched the incoming arrows but didn't react much.

But then a burly man with hands the size of palm fans and as big as iron towers suddenly appeared from behind.

Reach out and grasp at the air.

The incoming flaming arrows struck as if hitting an iron plate, producing a crisp, clanging sound.

Seeing that their first attack had failed, the disciples of the Elucidation Sect wanted to make another move.

However, Jiang Ziya waved him away.

Jiang Ziya was just testing the waters.

It wasn't that he really wanted to use supernatural powers.

Now that the test has yielded results, there's no need for unnecessary entanglement.

Clearly, the Great Shang had the assistance of disciples and followers of the Interception Sect.

This time, Investiture of the Gods Calamity the Investiture of the Gods, the Elucidation Sect supported Xiqi, while the Jie Interception Sect supported the Great Shang.

The conflict between the three religions caused the Three Pure Ones to split apart.

When Ji Chang saw that he had not killed Han Rong, the general guarding Sishui Pass, he merely snorted coldly.

They rode back to the camp.

Ji Chang only learned later that Jiang Ziya had come to help him on a mission.

To say how much reverence one has for him is absolutely true.

Furthermore, the followers of the Chan Elucidation Sect have long since infiltrated various fields in the Western Zhou.

They controlled the lifeline of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Whether it's military power or political stability, whether it's the economy or people's livelihood, whether it's prestige or faith.

They were all controlled by the disciples of the Elucidation Sect.

Ji Chang claimed that the Zhou Dynasty was under his rule, but in reality, he was merely a puppet ruler supported by the Elucidation Sect to compete with the Great Shang.

Once the Elucidation Sect completes its mission of Investiture of the Gods, Ji Chang will no longer be of much use.

However, accidents can happen anywhere.

This didn't even take place before the two armies actually clashed.

That very night, Ji Chang, the ruler of the Western Zhou Dynasty, unexpectedly died.

Moreover, his face was purplish and his forehead was dark.

It's obvious that he was either poisoned or cursed to death.

Instantly, the entire Xiqi army was draped in white mourning clothes, and an atmosphere of sorrow permeated the air.

The next morning, Jiang Ziya looked at the lifeless corpse of Ji Chang lying on the ground, his face grim and terrifying.

"Have you found out who did it?"

Jiang Ziya asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the strategist, this disciple is of limited knowledge and understanding and is unable to discern the truth."

A Chan Sect Disciple said with some regret.

It can silently and effortlessly kill a human emperor with a curse.

Such methods are beyond what a nominal disciple of the Elucidation Sect could handle.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Ziya had to deal with Ji Chang first and then deal with Ji Chang later.

They also elected a new ruler for the Western Zhou Dynasty to stabilize the situation.

As for the vassal states that followed them?

I'm completely numb.

It's true what they say: when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Before setting off, Ji Chang confidently assured them that they would win the battle.

After conquering Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, they lavishly enfeoffed various vassal states and promoted them to kingdoms.

At that time, beautiful women and treasures will be inexhaustible.

Eat delicious food and drink spicy food.

That's it?

The fight hasn't even started yet.

Ji Chang himself started by fastening the Barbie button.

It's simply indescribably ironic.

This joke is really not funny at all.

The rulers of the various vassal states and kingdoms felt a chill run through their bodies.

Some of the more astute rulers of the various states have already begun to plan their escape routes.

With the witness and support of Jiang Ziya and a group of disciples of the Elucidation Sect, King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, officially ascended the throne.

As for the eldest son, Boyi Kao?

Jiang Ziya casually dismissed the princes, including Boyi Kao, with the words, "Heaven's mandate rests with Ji Fa."

Although Boyi Kao and others were dissatisfied, they dared not act rashly.

After all, their residence was always guarded by a large contingent of fully armed soldiers.

Ostensibly, it was to protect their safety, but in reality, it was house arrest and surveillance.

After the Xiqi army regrouped, under the command of Ji Fa of King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, they began the siege three days later.

Han Rong, the guard at Sishui Pass, looked at a large flag with the word "" in front of him with a strange look on his face.

How could this be? Ji Chang has died so soon after we last met?

Is this what is meant by a person destined by Heaven?

Han Rong scoffed at this.

They even spread this message widely among the garrison.

In an instant, the soldiers who had initially held a sliver of hope suddenly regarded the Western Zhou as a bunch of clowns and mocked them relentlessly.

That's it?

Do you still want to rebel?

The members of your nine clans should wash their necks clean and await the king's butcher's knife to fall.

Quickly.

The battle has begun.

On one side was the well-prepared and rising star, Western Zhou.

On one side is a long-established, powerful military Great Shang with deep-rooted influence.

For a time, the two sides were exchanging blows.

Each side had its victories and defeats.

They couldn't conquer even a small Sishui Pass after a long siege.

Jiang Ziya got anxious.

One night.

He couldn't resist secretly bringing along the disciples of the Elucidation Sect.

Arriving atop a high mountain, they unleashed their ice and snow magic.

Suddenly, a fierce snowstorm broke out, lasting for a long time.

What's even more peculiar is that the wind and snow only blew towards Sishui Pass.

The Xiqi army, however, remained unaffected by the year-round spring-like weather.

Tianyi.

Han Rong woke up and received the report.

It is said that a heavy snow fell last night, and thousands of unsuspecting samurai were frozen to death or injured.

Han Rong was greatly alarmed. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast before rushing off to check on the situation.

After seeing the situation clearly, Han Rong's face was filled with uncontrollable rage.

"What a thief!"

"They really will stop at nothing!"

"Extremely vicious!"

"They actually used divine magic in a battle between two armies."

"He truly deserves to die!"

Seeing the Great Shang soldiers starving and freezing everywhere, Han Rong was furious.

However, such natural disasters and man-made calamities were beyond the control of Han Rong, a mere mortal general.

Left with no other choice, Han Rong had to ask the disciples of the Interception Sect to come out again.

"Please, Immortal Master, remove this calamity of wind and snow from my Sishui Pass."

Arriving at the entrance of a cave, Han Rong respectfully made his request.

"Yes, this is my own gift, Lord Han, there's no need to be so polite."

A sinister- Interception Sect of the Jie Sect emerged from the cave.

This person is none other than Wang Mo, Nine Dragon Island Qi Practitioner.

Wearing a Yizhi , wearing a hydrating suit, his face is like the full moon, he is riding a beast, and his weapon is a sword.

"This is simple."

Wang Mo glanced at the raging snowstorm in the sky and nodded slightly.

That's all.

He didn't seem to make any move.

He simply slashed his sword through the air.

The blizzard suddenly stopped.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"

Wang Mo glanced at the opposing Wen Nuanyu Xiqi camp and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the Wang Mo cast another spell.

They summoned Meteor Fire Rain, which descended upon the Xiqi army camp.

In an instant, the entire Xiqi camp was engulfed in smoke and flames.

It truly is a case of tit for tat.

What goes around comes around.

The day before yesterday, Jiang Ziya performed a ritual that caused wind and snow, freezing and starving the soldiers of the Great Shang.

Today, Wang Mo, Nine Dragon Island Qi Practitioner, summoned Meteor Fire Rain to burn down the Xiqi army camp.

When deities participate in mortal conflicts, they will ultimately face consequences.

Now is the time for the fulfillment of this prophecy.

In fact, the cause of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity was that the Twelve Golden Immortals disobeyed the Haotian's orders.

He also used a large number of magical spells and supernatural powers during the battle for the destiny of the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors.

They committed boundless Slaughterous Karma.

The karma of Slaughter gradually accumulates into immeasurable karmic force.

Therefore, Twelve Golden Immortals would face the tribulation of being conferred the title of Investiture of the Gods.

Now, Jiang Ziya has used his magical powers to kill ordinary mortals and soldiers, which only adds to his karmic burden and makes him even more afflicted by Tribulation Qi.

In the end, he was condemned to endless Reincarnation, a tragic end filled with boundless suffering.

At this time.

Just as Xiqi and Great Shang were fighting to the death.

It is far away in the Sun Star, Taiyi.

Suddenly, melodious and beautiful music filled my ears.
