War Reignited, the Eastern Yi Invaded

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was overjoyed.

We've finally secured another key player.

Another animal has been added to the Twelve Zodiac Animals.

Currently, there are six of the Twelve Zodiac Animals in Chaoge.

They are the Tongtian Kui Ox and the Jin Dasheng.

Netherworld Hound, Dai Li.

The Heaven-Swallowing Pig, Zhu Zizhen.

Blackwater Mystic Serpent, Chang Hao.

White Jade Mystic Ram, black sheep, Yang Xian.

Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit, Yingzhi (Sanqi).

Besides these six, there is another one far away in the Western Spirit Mountain, the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Spirit, Jin Susu.

In addition to these seven, one more Twelve Zodiac Animals.

It was the White-Faced Divine Monkey, Zhenzhen, right before their eyes.

Eight of the Twelve Zodiac Animals have now been formed.

There are four remaining: Dragon, Rabbit, Horse, and Tiger.

Choosing a dragon was a piece of cake for Ye Xuan; either Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, or Wushuang would be suitable.

Rabbit Ye Xuan already had a target in mind: the Jade Rabbit beside Chang'e.

Since we've met once before, we can just find an opportunity to get that rabbit back.

The only troublesome ones are the horse and the tiger.

Ye Xuan still hasn't decided who to choose.

It seems we can only take it slowly.

After all Twelve Zodiac Animals and the Four Divine Monkeys are gathered together.

He then prepared to once again wield the Chaos Creation Brush to seize the power of creation from the Tongtian.

Then we'll elevate them all to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

In addition, there are many other powerful figures such as Nezha, Su Daji, Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, General Heng, Zheng Lun Zhang Kui, Zhang Guifang, Gao Lanying, and Deng Jiugong.

Even Quasi-Saint powerhouses like Kong Xuan and the Five-Virtue Qilin have pledged allegiance to him.

Furthermore, the Ancestor Minghe also joined forces with him.

Such a force is a formidable power, regardless of which side it faces.

Even the Interception Sect, is not something Ye Xuan fears.

Think these messy things through.

He then ordered Wushuang to bring the Twelve Zodiac Animals over.

They were introduced to the White-Faced Divine Monkey.

They were naturally delighted to see another person join the group.

Since both Yingzhi and Zhenzhen are women, they have quite a few things to talk about.

They quickly became friends and got to know each other.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the period that followed.

Ye Xuan began his secluded cultivation once again.

The matter of refining Pangu Bloodline remains unsolved.

This made Ye Xuan feel extremely frustrated.

He was quite frustrated that he couldn't refine the extremely terrifying power he possessed.

Looks like I'll have to find some time to venture into the Netherworld again.

Chaoge once again fell into calm.

Everyone discovered that Bo Yikao had disappeared in Chaoge.

But no one dared to mention it.

Days passed by one after another.

While Ye Xuan was cultivating, Ye Xuan Su Daji came to his side.

He was also holding a memorial to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"Disaster is about to break out in Eastern Lu, with the Eastern Yi launching a large-scale invasion. I'm afraid Eastern Lu won't be able to hold out."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's expression Eastern Yi slightly. Were the Eastern Barbarians already invading?

The timing seems a bit off.

How many more years will it take for the Eastern Yi people to undergo a reaction?

Could it be that my time travel caused a time distortion, creating a butterfly effect?

"Master, this is a memorial from the Marquis of the East. Because the messenger was so slow, my sister brought it here and sent it to Chaoge as quickly as possible."

Ye Xuan nodded.

It seems that establishing the Green Mound Shadow Guards was the best choice at the time, as the entire Yin Shang was basically covered by the power of the Green Mound Shadow Guards.

The Green Mound Shadow Guards could receive news of any movement made by the various lords immediately.

Ye Xuan took the memorial, opened it, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.

As expected, the Eastern Yi launched a large-scale invasion of Eastern Lu territory.

In a short time, the Marquis of the East suffered heavy losses.

The memorial was written in extremely poor handwriting.

What a horrific massacre, barely able to take care of themselves, a devastation of lives...

What kind of words are these?

Of the Four Great Vassal Kings, besides Xiqi, the Marquis of the East was the most powerful.

In particular, Marquis of the East controlled the entire salt industry of the Yin Shang, making it incredibly wealthy.

How could he possibly be slaughtered so easily? This guy is just trying to preserve his strength.

Ye Xuan pondered for a while.

"Go and summon Grand Tutor Wen Zhong."

Wushuang had been staying by Ye Xuan's side, quickly made arrangements.

Soon, Grand Tutor Wen received the news and rushed over.

Ye Xuan casually tossed the memorial to him.

Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen opened it and took a look, his expression immediately changed.

"I never expected those barbarians to launch such a large-scale invasion! They are incredibly audacious."

"Your Majesty, the land of the Eastern Yi is truly a harsh and cold place. They lack food and clothing on a daily basis, and life is extremely difficult."

"Last year, our Yin Shang had a great harvest. With the harsh winter just over, the Eastern Yi must be at their wits' end. That's why they came to plunder people, food, and livestock to replenish their supplies. These things have happened almost every year, but I didn't expect the scale to be so large this year?"

Compared to other places, the conditions there are indeed much harsher.

The arable land was extremely limited, making life quite difficult for the Eastern Yi tribes living there.

They frequently went to the Eastern Lu region to commit arson, murder, and looting.

Historically, troops have been sent to quell the rebellion on several occasions.

The problem is that the Eastern Yi tribes themselves lived in a harsh, cold region.

Whenever the Yin Shang army pressed in, they would break up into smaller groups and disperse among various tribes.

These tribes mostly live deep in the mountains and forests, making it extremely difficult to conquer them.

Whenever the Yin Shang withdrew its troops, they would invade from time to time.

They wouldn't invade the territory of the Yin Shang, they would just plunder some grain.

The harsh environment there, coupled with the fierce and savage Eastern Yi Clan' formidable fighting prowess, led to this situation where the tribe's power had grown too large to control.

I never imagined that the scale of this invasion would be so large.

In fact, the rebellion of the Eastern Yi Clan greatly depleted the foundation of the Yin Shang.

King Zhou of Shang was determined to personally lead an expedition. After years of arduous warfare, he utterly defeated the Eastern Yi Clan, completely annihilating them and expanding the territory of the Yin Shang.

However, this also depleted the last reserves of the Yin Shang, leaving the treasury empty and the soldiers exhausted.

Furthermore, a large number of elite troops were used to suppress various ethnic groups in the Eastern Yi.

It was under these circumstances that Xiqi seized the opportunity to rebel.

With no soldiers available, Chaoge resorted to using slaves, but unexpectedly, this army of slaves turned against them, colluding with them from within and without to completely destroy the entire Yin Shang.

Logically, they should have waited several more years before rebelling, but unexpectedly, they have already launched a large-scale invasion.

Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen for a moment:

"Your Human Emperor, this old minister is willing to lead troops to suppress the various Eastern Yi tribes."
