So...
With the karmic tribulation raging, Jiang Ming no longer bothered with idle speculation. It all came down to what he could do.
Since he was now King Zhou, the karmic tribulation had affected his predecessor's mind. His predecessor had been no ordinary man, but a qi cultivator at the Golden Immortal level.
What had happened now was truly unwise.
But under the influence of the karmic tribulation's calamity qi, even Daluo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints could lose their minds. Otherwise, so many Daluo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints would never have died during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
Of course, this karmic tribulation would not merely bring down the Shang Dynasty, ruled by the Human Race's last Human King, whose place Jiang Ming had taken. The Interception Sect would also be reduced to a hollow shell, suffering devastating casualties.
Jiang Ming felt there was still something he could make of this situation.
Since he was already here, he naturally needed to give it some serious thought. If he could turn the karmic tribulation on its head and crush King Wen of Zhou's side this time, wouldn't that be satisfying?
Nuwa's methods had already been quite gentle: she had arranged for three monsters as lovely as flowers and jade to come over. If Jiang Ming could keep them under control and stop them from truly bringing ruin to the country and its people, wouldn't that spare him a great deal of trouble?
After he returned, the two treacherous ministers under Jiang Ming began stirring things up.
Fei Zhong and You Hun were truly a pair of rare specimens. Perfect-he could let those two draw the fire and distinguish the loyal from the treacherous at a glance.
As the saying went, things gathered by kind, and people flocked with their own.
