Xiqi's Terrifying Hidden Strength
"There are even things like the phoenix's cry Mount Qi."
"It can be said that Xiqi is currently enjoying great success."
"Of the eight hundred vassal states under heaven, most are more or less loyal to Xiqi."
"After all, with the help of those Immortal Dao, their power was indeed immense, truly astonishing the world and causing panic at the mere mention of their name."
"It was in the face of this situation that the ministers panicked, and the people of Yin Shang were filled with fear and unease."
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
I never imagined that Jiang Ziya would actually make a name for himself in Xiqi.
He actually became the prime minister of Xiqi.
Even so, Jiang Ziya was still a complete incompetent fool.
A good-for-nothing is still a good-for-nothing.
Ye Xuan never took Jiang Ziya seriously.
It was precisely because Jiang Ziya was so incompetent that Ye Xuan didn't kill him.
After all, killing Jiang Ziya wouldn't have much of an effect.
Killing one Jiang Ziya will bring forth Li Ziya, and Zhang Ziya.
If a more formidable character were to replace them by then, it would be a case of losing more than one gains.
This is also why Ye Xuan let him leave.
Just as history has shown, Jiang Ziya has made a name for himself in Xiqi.
With the establishment of the state of Marquis Ji Chang of the West in Xiqi, he named it the Western Zhou.
The feudal lords of the world truly yearned for this.
This directly led to the Yin Shang's control over the eight hundred feudal lords plummeting to rock bottom.
Ye Xuan had actually foreseen all of this.
Although the people of Yin Shang all longed for Chaoge.
But the feudal lords did not do so.
Because many of Ye Xuan's strategies conflicted with their interests.
Their desire for Xiqi was not unexpected.
Ye Xuan simply nodded, without making any extreme reaction.
In fact, he had already thought of many things.
For example, Yang Jian once appeared in Chaoge.
Many of the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect will surely appear in the world.
Under these circumstances, Xiqi was naturally at the height of its power.
It is understandable that all eight hundred feudal lords under heaven were loyal to Xiqi.
After all, many immortals have already become their people.
In terms of scale, it was indeed much larger than the Yin Shang Dynasty.
"Go on..."
He wanted to see what other preparations Xiqi had made.
"Your Human Emperor, the wolfish intentions of the Xiqi Zhou are indeed crystal clear."
"They actually managed to muster an army of six million in such a short time."
"Its scale far surpasses that of the Yin Shang, which is truly astonishing and terrifying. Many ministers in Chaoge were shocked."
"This is the real reason why the Yin Shang has been so uneasy lately."
Ye Xuan was also taken aback upon hearing this.
Xiqi actually possessed an army of six million?
This was something he never expected.
Although Xiqi was wealthy, it was not a large-scale enterprise.
They secretly cultivated an army of six million.
It seems he really underestimated Xiqi.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Daji behind him.
Daji sensed her master's gaze and naturally understood his reprimand.
He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any longer.
What does it mean that the six million-strong army of Xiqi was only revealed now?
This means that the Green Mound Shadow Guards did not perform their duties at all.
At the very least, the infiltration into Xiqi still has significant flaws.
Ye Xuan turned his head, a cold smile gradually appearing on his face.
Ji Chang, who was capable of eating human flesh alive, certainly had some extraordinary methods.
The fact that they were able to secretly cultivate such a large force without being exposed is somewhat beyond imagination.
The total military strength of the Yin Shang, plus the troops stationed at various passes.
It's only two million.
Yet Xiqi could easily muster an army of six million.
Other feudal lords also turned their hearts towards Xiqi.
Therefore, Ji Chang could very easily amass a force of tens of millions.
Just then, the old man below spoke up again.
"Your Human Emperor, it is said that the Grand Master of the Chan Sect, Yuanshi Tianzun, has gifted Xiqi a super treasure."
"It is said that the treasure is called the Grain-Holding Rice Measure. With a little magic, a continuous stream of Grain-Holding Rice Measure will pour out of it."
"The fact that armies no longer need to transport supplies for battle is a source of worry for the people of the Yin Shang dynasty."
These words naturally resonated with the other ministers.
Such a wondrous yet terrifying treasure was taken away by Xiqi; isn't this a sign of divine favor upon Xiqi?
Faced with this situation, could the Yin Shang truly defeat Xiqi?
Can Human Dao Saint truly withstand a combined attack from other Saint?
Many people wore gloomy expressions.
Some even showed expressions of terror.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan revealed a disdainful smile.
"Grain-Holding Rice Measure?"
"This can be considered a treasure?"
"Even if Grain-Holding Rice Measure could produce grain no bigger than the palm of your hand, and could run continuously for twelve hours a day, what good would it do?"
Is the grain produced enough to feed a million-strong army?
"It's still unknown whether it will be enough to feed an army of 100,000."
"This thing is nothing but a useless trinket, merely an embellishment. In a real battle, it's completely ineffective."
"Now our Yin Shang is incredibly wealthy. Grain is plentiful everywhere, every household has spare money and surplus grain, and large quantities of grain are being produced."
"Besides, the food supply is diverse, with all kinds of food available. Xiqi has its own magical treasures, so how can it compare to my Yin Shang?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
That seems to be true.
That thing is barely the size of a palm; even if it could continuously produce food, so what?
For campaigns involving armies of millions, that thing is nothing more than icing on the cake.
It doesn't play any decisive role at all.
It's definitely a useless thing.
If that magical treasure were in an ordinary household or a large family, it could indeed make those people incredibly wealthy.
However, its effectiveness was limited during large-scale military campaigns.
Everyone looked at Ye Xuan with admiration.
It was His Human Emperor who wisely revealed the true nature of this magical artifact.
This magic weapon is basically just a bluff; there's nothing scary about it.
"Go on."
Upon hearing His Human Emperor the Emperor's question, another person quickly spoke up.
"Your Human Emperor, it is said that many Immortal Dao have already gone to Xiqi."
"There is a man named Han Dulong, whose true form is a poisonous dragon in disguise. He is a powerful expert in the use of poison."
"It is said that there is another one named Xue Ehu, a hungry tiger whose strength surpasses that of Han Dulong."
"There is another powerful individual, said to be named Wei Hu, who wields an extremely powerful demon-subduing pestle. It is as light as a feather in his hand, but when it strikes an enemy, it is as heavy Mount Tai, leaving no room for anyone to underestimate him."
"There's another one, said to be a three-eyed monster. He's rather handsome, but he has a fierce eye on his forehead. He's very powerful and has also appeared in Chaoge before."
"That's the guy who killed General Wang's wife."
"There is another monster called Lei Zhenzi, who is said to be able to control the thunder in the sky, and whose strength is beyond imagination."
"Besides these, there are many other experts who are also disciples of the immortals. Roughly estimated, there are already twenty or thirty disciples of the immortals appearing in Xiqi."
"Your Human Emperor, you must be cautious and never underestimate Xiqi."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan revealed a cold smile.
What skills could these guys possibly have?
They're all complete idiots.
Apart from Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi, the rest of those guys are just here to die.
With his Four Divine Monkeys and Twelve Zodiac Animals appearing, Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi are all just cannon fodder.
"Anything else that's been happening?"
He showed no particular expression upon seeing His Human Emperor.
Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was getting a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, these matters are of utmost importance and must not be taken lightly."
"Some time ago, strange celestial phenomena appeared near Mount Qi in Xiqi."
"It is said that an incredibly huge and magnificent spinning bird has appeared."
"It is said that this Black Bird circled and flew over Mount Qi for a very long time, directly activating the fortune of Xiqi."
"This was an extremely serious blow to the people of the Yin Shang Dynasty."
