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

The enemy minister is not an ordinary envoy; for every one killed, one less there is.

Hearing this, Deng Jiugong nodded with satisfaction.

His children are both well-behaved!

He has a son and a daughter, both children, which is a blessing!

However, his son, named Deng Xiu, whom Deng Jiugong calls "Xiu'er," always felt something was not quite right.

Looking at Deng Xiu now, Deng Jiugong realized that Deng Xiu's cultivation was only at the Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation realm.

Although Deng Xiu's cultivation was not high, he had mastered flashy but impractical moves. When leading troops in battle among mortals, he could still be considered useful.

It was precisely because his cultivation was inferior to Tailuan's that the original Deng Jiugong had made Tailuan the vanguard officer, not Deng Xiu.

On the contrary, his daughter, Deng Chanyu, as Deng Xiu's younger sister, had a higher cultivation than Deng Xiu, already reaching the Refining Spirit Returning to Void realm.

Although Refining Spirit Returning to Void was still a considerable distance from the Immortal realm, Deng Chanyu possessed her Deng family's heirloom, the Five-Colored Stone. She had the strength to fight even against an Immortal.

The main point was that when the Five-Colored Stone was thrown at the enemy, the flying stones would injure people like meteors, catching them off guard. They specifically targeted the enemy's face, possessing immense power and leaving the enemy bruised and battered, allowing the weak to defeat the strong.

When fighting the Zhou Army, Deng Chanyu used the Five-Colored flying stones to injure several generals of the Zhou camp. Nezha, Huang Tianhua, and Dragon Beard Tiger were all injured by her.

It was no wonder Deng Jiugong doted on his daughter, Deng Chanyu.

Within Deng Jiugong's camp, apart from himself, the Marshal, Deng Chanyu's strength was likely the strongest.

Even as a female general, Deng Chanyu's strength surpassed that of Deng Jiugong's vanguard officer, Tailuan.

As for Deng Jiugong himself, he was known for his Divine Swordsmanship. Currently, his strength had greatly increased, undergoing a transformative change.

Xiqi!

"What?"

"Minister San is dead?"

Ji Fa's expression turned furious upon hearing the news that San Yisheng had been executed.

San Yisheng had achieved numerous merits in Xiqi. The loss of such a minister caused Ji Fa deep sorrow.

He had rescued his father from Chaoge City and assisted him. San Yisheng held a pivotal position in Ji Fa's heart. He never expected that his trip to the Shang Dynasty army camp would result in such a tragedy.

Upon learning of San Yisheng's death, Jiang Ziya was greatly alarmed.

He couldn't help but count on his fingers, and his expression changed.

"Something must have happened!"

Jiang Ziya spoke.

Before San Yisheng left, he had performed divination for him.

There was no danger for San Yisheng on this trip to the Shang Dynasty army camp to discuss marriage.

Jiang Ziya's divination skills were not weak. During this Great Tribulation, although he couldn't divine heavenly secrets, he could still calculate the fate of mortals.

Even when he was still in Chaoge, Jiang Ziya had repeatedly told fortunes for mortals. Even his eldest disciple, Wu Ji, had his life saved by divination, and was eventually taken as a disciple.

Jiang Ziya's divinations had never been wrong, yet unexpectedly, San Yisheng lost his life on this trip to Deng Jiugong's army camp to discuss marriage.

"Envoys are not to be executed in wartime. Deng Jiugong has no martial ethics!"

"Prime Minister Jiang, who can capture Deng Jiugong and avenge Minister San?"

Ji Fa's expression was furious, showing an intent to immediately execute Deng Jiugong.

"Reporting to King Wu, this matter requires careful consideration!"

"News from the Tang Camp states that Minister San was arrogant and was mistakenly killed by the soldiers. This is clearly Deng Jiugong's excuse!"

"Deng Jiugong sending such news is probably to avoid being ridiculed by the world!"

"He is also telling us that his daughter will absolutely not marry Tu Xingsun!"

Jiang Ziya said slowly.

"If that is the case, then Xiqi should immediately dispatch troops to attack the Tang Camp and kill Deng Jiugong."

Ji Fa said.

"King Wu, please do not rush!"

Just then, a Taoist figure appeared.

This Taoist was Juliusun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and also Tu Xingsun's master.

He looked shifty-eyed, which was understandable given he could teach a disciple like Tu Xingsun who was skilled at digging holes.

Furthermore, Juliusun was also very calculating.

"Senior Brother!"

"Immortal Master!"

Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa were extremely courteous upon seeing Juliusun arrive.

After all, Juliusun was an immortal from Kunlun with profound cultivation and immense skill, far beyond what Jiang Ziya could comprehend.

Juliusun appeared, naturally to come for his disciple.

"This matter was caused by my disciple, Tu Xingsun, so I naturally cannot stand by and do nothing!"

"However, Deng Jiugong leading 300,000 troops is no small force."

"If we can recruit him to our cause, taking Chaoge will be within reach."

"If Deng Jiugong's daughter, Deng Chanyu, is taken, Deng Jiugong will have no choice but to surrender."

Juliusun spoke.

"King Wu, you must consider the realm above all else!"

Jiang Ziya felt that what Juliusun said made sense, and these words were also meant to persuade Ji Fa.

In the war between Xiqi and Chaoge, if Emperor Xin could not be defeated, let alone San Yisheng, all living beings in the world would suffer.

If losing San Yisheng could make Deng Jiugong surrender, Xiqi would be making a huge profit.

Hearing this, Ji Fa pondered for a moment, suppressed the anger in his heart, and his expression slowly returned to calm.

As King Wu, he could not only consider personal grievances, but also the common people of the world.

For the sake of the common people, he had to swallow this insult.

"What are the Immortal Master's thoughts?" Ji Fa asked.

"Deng Jiugong's daughter, Deng Chanyu, has a thread of fate tied to my disciple Tu Xingsun; this is destiny!"

"Whether Deng Jiugong can surrender hinges on Deng Chanyu."

"If we snatch Deng Chanyu and make the rice fully cooked, Deng Jiugong will have no choice but to surrender!"

Juliusun said slowly.

As his words fell, Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa couldn't help but laugh.

Although Juliusun's scheme was a bit insidious, it was indeed a good plan.

"But, how can we snatch Deng Chanyu!"

Ji Fa asked.

"Deng Jiugong had previously betrothed Deng Chanyu to Tu Xingsun. Regardless of whether it was drunken words or not, we will go and propose marriage directly."

"We can then act according to the situation!"

Jiang Ziya said.

Clearly, the plan was to snatch her and run, which would definitely succeed.

After all, he had many divine generals by his side, all valiant, and if a conflict arose, they could retreat safely.

Hearing this, Juliusun nodded and said.

"I can accompany you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya was overjoyed.

"With Senior Brother here, it will be foolproof!"

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were all accomplished High Immortals.

Moreover, they had lived from the Witch-Demon Calamity until now, and their cultivation was at least at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal expert was an absolutely powerful force to them.

With a Grand Unity Golden Immortal expert present, sending them to snatch Deng Chanyu was, in Jiang Ziya's opinion, absolutely foolproof.

Three Mountains Pass!

After beheading San Yisheng, Deng Jiugong returned to the General's Mansion.
