Great Shang's Ministers Are Shocked, Daoist Randeng and the Antarctic Immortal Head to Western Qi!

Great Shang's morning court.

When news of the Great Zhou Dynasty's establishment reached the Great Shang court,

Di Xin and all the civil and military ministers were utterly shocked.

Prime Minister Shang Rong and Vice Prime Minister Bigan said angrily, "Ji Chang, you treacherous rebel!"

Martial King Huang Feihu stepped forward, dropped to one knee, and said, "Your Majesty, please permit this servant to lead the Great Shang army and crush Western Qi!"

Di Xin said, "Martial King, rise first!"

After Martial King Huang Feihu rose, all the civil and military ministers looked toward Di Xin.

Di Xin said, "In my view, Ji Chang's establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not so simple."

"An immensely powerful force must be backing Ji Chang behind this matter!"

"Otherwise, with Western Qi's national strength alone, how would it dare openly announce to the world that it had established the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Shang Rong and Bigan looked grave. "Your Majesty, do you mean that a Heavenly Dao Sage Realm sect is supporting Western Qi from behind the scenes?"

Di Xin nodded. "If not them, would Western Qi dare publicly establish the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Shang Rong asked in shock, "Your Majesty, exactly which Heavenly Dao Sage Realm forces are secretly supporting Western Qi?"

Di Xin said, "In the Primordial World, there are only a few Heavenly Dao Sage Realm sects."

"I suspect that Yuanshi Tianzun of the Elucidation Sect has certainly sent the Twelve Golden Immortals under his command to secretly collude with Western Qi."

"That is why Ji Chang has the confidence to openly establish the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Martial King Huang Feihu said, "Your Majesty, even if Western Qi has the Elucidation Sect's support—"

"With Western Qi's strength alone, our Great Shang Dynasty can easily crush it!"

At this time, Martial King Huang Feihu was already a mighty expert at the perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, utterly confident in dealing with Western Qi.

Di Xin said, "Martial King, do not underestimate the methods of the Heavenly Dao Sage Realm sects!"

Shang Rong, Bigan, Weizi Qi, Weizi Yan, Zhao Qi, Yang Ren, and Mei Bo all nodded.

In the Primordial World, who would believe that the Heavenly Dao Sage Realm sects had no foundations or methods?

Di Xin himself knew even better just how shameless Yuanshi Tianzun of the Elucidation Sect and the Supreme Purity Sage were.

In the original plot of the Investiture of the Gods List, Yuanshi Tianzun of the Elucidation Sect and the Supreme Purity Sage had been utterly shameless.

As Heavenly Dao Sages, the Supreme Purity Sage and Yuanshi Tianzun had actually personally acted against the second-generation disciples of the Interception Sect.

The deaths of the Three Xiao Immortals—Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao—as well as Zhao Gongming and the others, were all connected to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yet the Interception Sect's disciples, mindful that the Heavenly Dao Sages of the three sects shared the same origin, often did not strike to kill.

The Elucidation Sect's disciples, however, were all ruthless, exterminating the Interception Sect's disciples without mercy.

If the Three Xiao Immortals had been a little more ruthless when they set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, all Twelve Golden Immortals would have ended up on the Investiture of the Gods List!

It was precisely because the Three Xiao Immortals had been softhearted that they ultimately brought about their own deaths.

Di Xin was simply too familiar with everyone in the Elucidation Sect, from Yuanshi Tianzun down to the Twelve Golden Immortals!

Therefore, the Elucidation Sect was certainly supporting Western Qi behind its establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing Di Xin deep in thought, none of the civil or military ministers spoke.

After a moment, Di Xin said, "Martial King Huang Feihu, I order you to immediately lead fifty thousand troops to Sishui Pass!"

Huang Feihu asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why not allow this servant to lead the Great Shang Dynasty's army to crush Western Qi?"

"Why does Your Majesty wish for this servant to lead troops to reinforce Sishui Pass?"

Shang Rong, Bigan, Weizi Qi, Weizi Yan, Zhao Qi, Yang Ren, and Mei Bo were likewise full of confusion.

Di Xin said, "Sishui Pass of the Great Shang Dynasty is the closest pass between Western Qi and the Great Shang Dynasty."

"After the Great Zhou Dynasty is established, the Elucidation Sect will certainly incite Great Zhou to attack Sishui Pass."

"At present, only ten thousand troops are stationed at Sishui Pass. With the strength of its commanding general Han Rong and deputy general Yu Hua, it will be difficult for them to hold Sishui Pass!"

Shang Rong and Bigan said, "Your Majesty, do you mean the Elucidation Sect will send experts to assist Western Qi's army in attacking Sishui Pass?"

Di Xin nodded. "Correct."

"You still do not know who Great Zhou's newly appointed prime minister is, do you?"

"Your Majesty, who is Great Zhou's new prime minister?"

Di Xin said, "It is the old Daoist Jiang Shang, who came to Chaoge some time ago to discuss Great Shang's affairs of state and principles of governance with me."

"What? Jiang Shang, who came to Chaoge some time ago and called himself Daoist Flying Bear?"

All the civil and military ministers cried out in shock.

Di Xin said, "It is indeed Jiang Shang!"

"Furthermore, Jiang Shang calls himself Daoist Flying Bear. He came from the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain and studied under Yuanshi Tianzun of the Elucidation Sect!"

"Think about it. Is the Elucidation Sect not secretly supporting Western Qi?"

Prime Minister Shang Rong, Vice Prime Minister Bigan, Martial King Huang Feihu, and the other senior ministers nodded.

Shang Rong and Bigan said worriedly, "Your Majesty, you are sending the Martial King to lead troops to Sishui Pass and reinforce Han Rong and Yu Hua."

"If the Elucidation Sect intervenes, Martial King Huang Feihu alone may have difficulty resisting the enemy."

Di Xin said, "I am sending the Martial King only to oversee the army."

"The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Elucidation Sect will not act against ordinary soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty."

Shang Rong said, "Your Majesty wishes for the Martial King to oversee the army, in order to prevent the Elucidation Sect's experts from acting against Great Shang Dynasty generals?"

Di Xin nodded. "Correct!"

"Martial King, after court is dismissed, immediately muster the troops and generals, then hurry to Sishui Pass!"

Martial King Huang Feihu dropped to one knee and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. This servant accepts the decree!"

Afterward, Di Xin declared court dismissed!

Jade Void Palace, Kunlun Mountain.

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "After the Great Zhou Dynasty is established, Antarctic Immortal—"

"You are to immediately descend the mountain and go to Western Qi to assist your junior brother Ziya in preparing for the campaign against Great Shang."

Antarctic Immortal said, "Master, with Western Qi's national strength, launching a campaign against Great Shang now would be extremely disadvantageous to Western Qi."

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Go to Western Qi first. In time, I will arrange for the Twelve Golden Immortals to all enter Western Qi."

Antarctic Immortal said respectfully, "Yes, Master."

After speaking, Antarctic Immortal directly left the Jade Void Palace.

After Antarctic Immortal left, Yuanshi Tianzun summoned Daoist Randeng.

Daoist Randeng arrived at the main hall of the Jade Void Palace.

Daoist Randeng respectfully bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun. "This disciple pays respects to the Sect Master!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded. "Burning Lamp, I have already sent Antarctic Immortal to Western Qi."

"Later, you will also go to Western Qi and assist Ziya with the campaign against Great Shang."

"However, Burning Lamp, you must remain hidden and oversee matters from the shadows. Do not act unless necessary."

Daoist Randeng said, "Sect Master, do you wish for me to oversee matters in secret to guard against experts of the Interception Sect taking action?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Correct. The Interception Sect's disciples will certainly become involved."

"Your task, Burning Lamp, is to prevent the Interception Sect's experts from disrupting the grand plan to attack Great Shang."

Daoist Randeng asked respectfully, "Sect Master, if second-generation disciples of the Interception Sect take action, what should I do?"

A cold glint flashed through Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes as he said icily, "If second-generation disciples of the Interception Sect act, then if you can kill them, do not hesitate."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Randeng looked at Yuanshi Tianzun with shock.

Yuanshi Tianzun said coldly, "Burning Lamp, this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was originally aimed at the Interception Sect and the Great Shang Dynasty."

"This is the Dao Ancestor's command. Act as you please. If anything happens, I will settle it for you!"

Daoist Randeng said respectfully, "Yes, Sect Master!"

Afterward, Daoist Randeng left the Jade Void Palace.
