The reason the disciples of the Sect of Interception aided Great Shang was, in the end, because the disciples of the Chan Sect had killed their own. They wanted revenge for their fellow disciples.
In reality, they didn't care about the ultimate outcome for Great Shang.
Furthermore, Deng Jiugong remained wary of the Sect of Interception and did not reveal everything.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded, clearly understanding Deng Jiugong's meaning.
The Heavenly Dao suppressed humanity, and the Sect of Interception was a force of the Heavenly Dao. Naturally, they could not be fully trusted.
However, allowing the Sect of Interception to deal with the Chan Sect was something they were very happy to see.
"I must return to the camp. These elixirs are enough for you to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Realm!"
Deng Jiugong gave Emperor Xin the elixirs he had prepared long ago.
Emperor Xin's expression was one of pleasant surprise, and he said, "Thank you, Master!"
"I will trouble you with the front lines, Master!"
Emperor Xin said earnestly.
"I am here for everything."
Deng Jiugong said.
Let alone that Great Shang's destiny was beginning to recover at this moment; even if Great Shang continued to be corrupt, it could still last for a long time.
However, since Emperor Xin began to walk the righteous path, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation had been extended in an invisible way.
If Great Shang did not fall, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation would not pass so easily.
Right now, Deng Jiugong needed time, and Emperor Xin also needed time. He would do his best to slow down the pace of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation's evolution, allowing Emperor Xin to grow.
When the time came, Great Shang's destiny would gradually flourish, and Great Shang would not perish!
"Report!"
Just then, a soldier rushed in to report.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Emperor Xin frowned.
Ever since he had Deng Jiugong lead the army to attack Xiqi, there had never been such panic.
"Reporting to the Great King, a rushed report has come from the front lines. The Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, has defected to Xiqi, and the Xiqi army is already attacking our forces!"
The soldier said.
"This is outrageous!"
Emperor Xin was instantly furious.
Deng Jiugong was also taken aback.
If the fox spirit Daji had not been killed by him, the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, would still be Emperor Xin's father-in-law!
However, Su Hu had long harbored rebellious intentions. He had been dissatisfied with Emperor Xin's tyranny and had raised an army to rebel, but he was defeated by King Zhou.
Later, in order to rescue his captured son, he had no choice but to offer his daughter, Su Daji, to Emperor Xin as a concubine.
But on the way to Chaoge, the fox spirit had completely absorbed Daji's soul and possessed her body, impersonating her. In reality, the true Su Daji had already died, but others were unaware of this.
Previously, Deng Jiugong had killed the fox spirit. This news must have reached Jizhou.
Originally, as royalty, even if Su Hu was dissatisfied with Emperor Xin, and even if he had long been displeased with Daji in his heart, he was wholeheartedly devoted to Zhou.
At this time, there was no longer Su Daji in the Chaoge royal palace. Su Hu had no reservations and had truly defected to Xiqi.
"Your Majesty need not be so!"
"Although Su Hu has defected to Xiqi and taken 100,000 troops with him, he is not a threat!"
"Before I came to Chaoge, I subdued the Seven Monsters of Mount Mei. One of them is worth more than his 100,000 troops!"
Deng Jiugong said.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's expression brightened.
At this moment, he finally understood why his master had arrived in Chaoge so late.
"It seems that with Su Hu's defection, Jiang Ziya is eager to deploy his troops. I will return to the camp immediately!"
As Deng Jiugong's voice fell, his figure moved, and he had already broken through the air and left.
Emperor Xin watched Deng Jiugong's departing figure and said, "The front lines are dangerous. Master, please be careful in all matters!"
"I will not follow in Grand Tutor Wen's footsteps!"
Deng Jiugong's voice echoed back.
Emperor Xin was stunned and felt much more at ease.
After leaving Chaoge City, Deng Jiugong did not arrive at Three Mountains Pass smoothly.
On the way, he was blocked by a Taoist priest.
"Deng Jiugong, I knew long ago you went to Chaoge City, and I've been waiting for you here!"
Hearing the voice, Deng Jiugong's expression changed as he looked over.
The person who came was none other than Juliusun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.
He had previously killed Juliusun's disciple, Tu Xingsun, and Juliusun's Immortal Binding Rope was also in Deng Jiugong's hands.
Juliusun intercepted Deng Jiugong this time for two reasons: first, to avenge his disciple, and second, to retrieve his Magic Treasure, the Immortal Binding Rope.
As Juliusun blocked the path, his divine sense had already locked onto Deng Jiugong tightly.
Deng Jiugong sensed a great sense of crisis.
This crisis felt stronger than ever before.
Juliusun was a powerful Grand Unity Golden Immortal, while Deng Jiugong only had the cultivation of Golden Immortal Realm Perfection. He was no match for a Grand Unity Golden Immortal by any means.
"Juliusun, you've gone to great lengths to deal with me!"
Although Deng Jiugong was on high alert, his expression did not show panic, feigning composure.
This was an attempt to assassinate him on the road!
"You killed my disciple and took my Magic Treasure, so of course, I must kill you!"
"Killing you will also remove a great scourge from Xiqi!"
Juliusun said calmly.
The person Deng Jiugong killed was not just Juliusun's disciple, but also the disciples of his fellow disciples Manjushri and Samantabhadra!
If Deng Jiugong were not eliminated, it would be difficult to conquer Great Shang!
"As a high immortal of the Chan Sect, coming all this way to intercept me, Deng Jiugong, doesn't that lower your status?"
Deng Jiugong said calmly.
Although his expression was calm, he was also thinking of a way to escape.
After all, for him, the power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was too immense.
He absolutely could not confront him head-on; he might be instantly killed by the opponent.
"Hmph, you killed my disciple and took my Magic Treasure, forging a great karma with me!"
"This karma can only be resolved by me killing you!"
As Juliusun's voice fell, he raised a palm and struck towards Deng Jiugong.
"I, Deng Jiugong, am not so easily killed!"
Juliusun's attack made Deng Jiugong feel a great sense of crisis. He moved his body and directly unleashed the Five Elements Great Escape.
BOOM!
The next moment, the rocks and earth where Deng Jiugong had been standing collapsed, creating a large pit.
If Deng Jiugong hadn't been fast enough, he would have been hit.
"What speed!"
Seeing Deng Jiugong's figure instantly disappear into the distance, Juliusun was startled.
This speed was likely faster than ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals could chase.
He had long heard that Deng Jiugong knew the Divine Ability of the Five Elements Great Escape, and it was indeed true.
The Five Elements Great Escape was a great divine ability, extremely difficult to master, and incredibly fast.
It was precisely because it was difficult to master that Juliusun had chosen the simpler Earth Escape technique.
However, although Deng Jiugong's speed was fast, the vast difference in their cultivation meant he couldn't escape Juliusun's grasp.
