You were tasked with assisting Di Xin, and you turned him into a Human Emperor?

He was at a disadvantage fighting Jiang Ziya.

This time, the battle between Zhou and Great Shang saw thousands of elites killed, a victory for Great Shang, and Deng Jiugong had indeed defeated Jiang Ziya.

Great Shang achieved a great victory in the great battle between Zhou and Great Shang.

In Deng Jiugong's military camp, countless soldiers cheered with excitement.

This time, they had fought a brilliant battle, not only killing thousands of elite enemy soldiers but also slaying Jiang Ziya's second disciple, Dragon Beard Tiger, and capturing Tu Xingsun.

Back in the Tang Camp, Deng Jiugong returned with his generals.

Deng Jiugong's victory this time was largely due to Kong Xuan.

It was also because of Kong Xuan's presence that Deng Chanyu was not captured by Tu Xingsun, and Juliusun was scared away.

"Marshal, what do you plan to do with this Tu Xingsun?"

Kong Xuan held Tu Xingsun in his hand, as if grabbing a weak chicken, and asked.

Tu Xingsun was simply too short. Held in Kong Xuan's hand, his feet couldn't touch the ground, preventing him from escaping.

"Marshal, I, Tu Xingsun, have rendered great service to the Marshal before. I beg you to spare my life!"

Tu Xingsun said with a mournful face, bringing up his previous contributions to Deng Jiugong's side in an attempt to gain his forgiveness.

Knowing he was now a prisoner, Tu Xingsun naturally dared not mention wanting to become Deng Jiugong's son-in-law again.

Deng Jiugong looked at Tu Xingsun, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This little scoundrel, looking like this, wanted to marry his beautiful daughter?

What a toad wanting to eat swan meat!

Seeing Deng Jiugong remain silent and scrutinize him, Tu Xingsun seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Deng Jiugong's hesitation meant there was hope, so Tu Xingsun immediately spoke.

"Marshal, when you and the young lady were injured before, I, Tu Xingsun, provided an elixir to heal your wounds. I have the grace of healing upon you and the young lady!"

Hearing this, Deng Jiugong frowned.

It was true.

This excuse was indeed convincing.

However, Deng Jiugong knew that in the original history, the captured Xiqi generals were merely imprisoned and eventually rescued, only to attack Great Shang again.

But for Great Shang's generals, capture almost always meant execution.

Deng Jiugong truly wanted to kill Tu Xingsun.

After all, a Chan Sect disciple, if not killed, was like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

This was not something Deng Jiugong wanted to see.

Yet, Tu Xingsun had indeed healed Deng Jiugong and Deng Chanyu.

This made things difficult!

"Ding dong, detecting the host's current predicament, God-Tier Options have been activated!"

"Option 1: Release Tu Xingsun, no reward!"

"Option 2: Imprison Tu Xingsun, reward one Innate Spirit Fruit!"

At that moment, the System's notification sound echoed in Deng Jiugong's mind.

Deng Jiugong was stunned.

This was a single-choice question!

But did the System mean it didn't want him to kill Tu Xingsun?

Could it be that because Tu Xingsun had healed him, killing him would be like repaying kindness with enmity?

Would it create great karma?

Regardless, Deng Jiugong would choose what was most beneficial to him.

"I choose the second option!"

Deng Jiugong thought to himself.

"Ding dong, the host has made a choice, rewarding one Innate Spirit Fruit!"

The System immediately fulfilled the reward.

"Tu Xingsun!" Deng Jiugong said.

"Yes!"

Tu Xingsun quickly responded, his expression full of anticipation.

"You did render service to this Marshal before, and you also have the grace of healing upon this Marshal and Chanyu!"

"However, you are a Chan Sect disciple and an enemy of my Great Shang."

"Moreover, you colluded with Xiqi this time, plotted against my Chanyu, and intended to capture this Deng Jiugong. These grave crimes are unforgivable."

"Your actions have caused more harm than good. Do you really think this Marshal can let you off?"

Deng Jiugong said slowly.

Hearing this, Tu Xingsun's expression changed, and he wished he could cry.

"Confine Tu Xingsun in an iron cage and imprison him in the dungeon to await judgment!"

Deng Jiugong commanded.

Immediately, Tu Xingsun was taken away by Kong Xuan, placed in an iron cage, and the cage was suspended in the dungeon. This way, Tu Xingsun had no possibility of escape.

Soon, Kong Xuan returned.

At this time, Kong Xuan's reputation in the camp had spread far and wide. Clearly, it wasn't just Tailuan who had changed his opinion of Kong Xuan; the soldiers in the camp all held him in high regard.

"Marshal, Tu Xingsun has been imprisoned!"

Kong Xuan reported.

Kong Xuan didn't care about others changing their opinions of him.

As long as he could protect Great Shang, that was enough!

"Kong Xuan, you've done very well!"

Deng Jiugong stood up and patted Kong Xuan's shoulder with an expression of admiration for a junior, which made Kong Xuan feel helpless.

"Marshal, these are the spoils of war from this campaign!"

Kong Xuan didn't dodge Deng Jiugong's hand on his shoulder. Instead, he took out a gourd containing Elixirs, the Immortal Binding Rope he had acquired from Juliusun, and Tu Xingsun's Magic Treasure, an iron staff.

The Elixirs were found on Tu Xingsun, but their grade was too low to be useful to him, so Kong Xuan brought them all out.

As for the Immortal Binding Rope, although its power was considerable, capable of binding even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it was still useless to Kong Xuan.

Tu Xingsun's iron staff was even less noteworthy; its grade was too low for Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan decided to present them all to Deng Jiugong, hoping they would significantly enhance his strength.

"What a fine treasure!"

Deng Jiugong raised his hand and took the Immortal Binding Rope, joy welling up in his heart.

Legend had it that there were many Immortal Binding Ropes, each of varying grades.

The Immortal Binding Rope in Juliusun's possession was his cave's most prized treasure, so its grade would not be low.

This Immortal Binding Rope was at least a high-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, and possibly even a top-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.

That's right!

The Immortal Binding Rope was not an Innate Spirit Treasure, but an Acquired Spirit Treasure.

In the Primordial Era, Innate Spirit Treasures were limited and could not exist in large quantities.

This Immortal Binding Rope was a celestial Magic Treasure refined from dragon sinews and various other treasures, belonging to the acquired category.

"Remove the Nascent Soul imprint!"

Deng Jiugong handed the Immortal Binding Rope back to Kong Xuan.

Without removing the Nascent Soul imprint left by Juliusun, he would be unable to refine it.

As for the gourd of Elixirs, he put it away directly.

"Yes, it should be removed!"

Kong Xuan had forgotten about this. He took it directly.

After all, Juliusun was a powerful Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

With Deng Jiugong's strength, he couldn't possibly remove the Nascent Soul imprint of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. However, Kong Xuan could do so with ease.

Yet, upon taking the Immortal Binding Rope, Kong Xuan hesitated.
