The World Turns in Cycles, but the Heavenly Dao Has No Fixed Course

"What a pair of adulterers! The tyrant exterminated your entire family, yet you flirted with him. When my six million-strong army from Xiqi crushes Chaoge, I'll deal with you properly, you worthless wretch!"

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Bo Yikao's face.

"Leave the city immediately and head to Youli."

He had to see his father immediately.

First, I will see my father, and then we will discuss how to escape from Chaoge together.

When Ye Xuan returned to his palace, his Father of Shang Rong, Wen Zhong uncle Bi Gan, and Grand Tutor Wen Zhong also arrived one after another.

"Your Human Emperor, you shouldn't have Bo Yikao to Youli City."

"That fellow is quite renowned, and even in Chaoge he has considerable prestige. In addition, Ji Chang has always been known as a sage."

"The two of them must be plotting their escape. If they really let Ji Chang escape, wouldn't that be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains?"

"Lord Bi Gan is right. It would be better to behead these two immediately. Everyone knows Bo Yikao's intentions now, so it would be quicker to behead them."

Upon hearing the ministers' suggestions, Ye Xuan revealed a cold smile.

Killing Ji Chang would have been pointless.

After all, the rebellion of Xiqi was a foregone conclusion, and all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens supported Xiqi, so whether or not to kill them was meaningless.

Anyway, this guy won't live much longer, so it's better to let him fend for himself and avoid getting entangled in karma.

"The life of Marquis Ji Chang of the West, is not destined to end. Killing him for no reason would also affect the fortune of our Yin Shang."

"But Bo Yikao is destined for a short life; I fear he will soon die and will likely be unable to leave Chaoge."

Upon hearing this, the ministers were greatly surprised.

Is this guy going to die soon?

Since His Human Emperor has said so, then so be it.

In Youli City, Ji Chang was sitting upright at his desk, looking at the books in front of him, seemingly quite diligent.

For the past six months or so, he has had relatively much freedom here.

They can also wander around Youli City.

But ultimately, he was destined to be imprisoned. As time went on, he aged considerably, looking like an ordinary old man, with none of the sage-like appearance he once had.

Although one has no worries about food and drink here, how can one ever make up for the mental and emotional toll?

This period, in particular, has made him very uneasy, as if something big is about to happen.

He simply threw away the book in his hand, picked up a few stones from the ground, covered them with his hands, shook them frantically in his mind, and began to mutter incantations.

He then threw the stones forcefully, and they quickly landed on the ground, forming an incredibly bizarre shape.

Ji Chang went forward to examine it and found it to be a very bad omen, but he couldn't figure out why.

"The secrets of heaven are in disarray, difficult to fathom—"

"But the divination clearly and plainly shows that this is the worst possible outcome—"

Ji Chang's expression was not good.

He turned his head to look in the direction of Chaoge.

There, the aura was overwhelming, and the momentum was like a dragon.

Now that it has reached such a formidable level, it seems poised for a complete resurgence. How can Xiqi possibly compete with it?

"The ways of the world are cyclical, and the Heavenly Dao are not fixed."

"If you can free my dragon from the shallows, I will surely stir up chaos in this world one day."

Although Marquis Ji Chang of the West, is imprisoned here, he is no pushover.

Even though Chaoge was blessed with great fortune, he still possessed boundless ambition.

The six million-strong army of Xiqi is still eager to fight.

Xiqi's fortune is also incredibly strong, making it fully capable of fighting.

Just as Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was pondering to himself, a series of extremely rough and chaotic sounds suddenly came from outside.

Ji Chang was startled and quickly kicked away the stones on the ground before sitting down.

Unexpectedly, he heard a familiar voice and turned around abruptly.

From afar, he saw his son Bo Yikao, leading a large army towards them.

Bo Yikao saw his father in the distance and immediately burst into tears.

"Father—my dear father—I'm late, I've made you suffer here!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was already in tears. Her father had aged so much in just one year.

"My son, didn't I tell you not to come to Chaoge? Why did you still Chaoge?"

Upon hearing Ji Chang's words, Bo Yikao was extremely excited.

"Father, I am truly worried about your safety. You are already old, and now you are being imprisoned here by that tyrannical ruler, suffering terribly. I cannot bear to leave you, so I brought these treasures to Chaoge to see the tyrannical ruler, hoping to persuade him to release you and allow you to return to Xiqi."

These words immediately enraged Ji Chang.

"You said you came to Chaoge with treasures to beg the tyrannical ruler to let me return to Xiqi?"

Bo Yikao with tears in his eyes.

The guards beside him couldn't help but speak up as well.

"My lord, the eldest son is in Xiqi and is truly worried about you. That's why he brought these treasures all the way to Chaoge to beg the Human Emperor to release you and allow you to return to Xiqi. This journey can truly be described as filial piety—"

Upon hearing this, Xibo and Ji Chang's expressions gradually turned cold.

"Didn't I tell you to lead the people in Xiqi and develop carefully? Didn't I tell you not to come to Chaoge? Do you think your father's words are just passing by?"

Upon hearing his father's furious words Bo Yikao looked ashamed.

Actually, he didn't want to come, but those guys from Xiqi were all incredibly cunning, and several of them were already starting to distrust him.

If this continues, the Xiqi family business could very well be ruined in his hands. He had no choice but to come to Chaoge, hoping to bring his father back.

The only fault lies with their own incompetent methods, which failed to win over the masses.

"Your Majesty, I only hope that you can escape this predicament as soon as possible, like a dragon leaving shallow waters. I have no other intentions."

"You bastard!"

Why are you so useless?

The more Marquis Ji Chang of the West, thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped Bo Yikao across the face, leaving a huge handprint on his cheek.

Seeing his father's uncontrollable rage, Bo Yikao could only kneel on the ground, not daring to move.

The reason Ji Chang was so furious at this moment was naturally because he hated that his son was not competitive enough.

Just moments ago, he had calculated a very bad omen, and was still somewhat puzzled by it. Now, however, he could see that his child's rash appearance in Chaoge was very likely to result in his death at the hands of that tyrannical emperor, which infuriated him.

Why is this guy so disobedient, making decisions on his own, and rushing to Chaoge? Isn't he just courting death?
