Raising an Army in Revolt

Seeing this, the crowd below returned to their respective places and began secretly preparing for the great calamity.

Jiang Ziya then led Ji Chang back to Xiqi.

When Ji Fa returned safely, everyone wept bitterly once again.

Especially Ji Fa, whose tearful appearance moved everyone to tears.

However, Ji Chang Changcha and San Yisheng, who were in the crowd, noticed many problems.

San Yisheng stayed by Ji Chang's side the whole time, taking care of Ji Chang's daily life.

San Yisheng had a very clear understanding of Ji Fa's affairs.

The young master before me was weeping bitterly.

Perhaps they are the ones who truly wish for their lord's death?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Human nature.

What exactly is human nature?

Even he found it somewhat difficult to understand.

Perhaps having seen through Ji Fa's hypocrisy, Ji Chang went to the Spirit Terrace immediately after returning.

His eldest son, Bo Yikao, is buried there.

That was the son he valued most.

When Ji Chang appeared at the Spirit Terrace, he could still sense the overwhelming resentment emanating from Spirit Terrace.

Ji Chang couldn't help but prostrate himself there, weeping bitterly.

"My son, my darling, may your spirit in heaven protect the Great Zhou and help it annihilate the tyrant!"

"Your father will immediately lead troops to avenge you. May you have a safe journey, my son!"

King Wen of King Wen of Zhou's weeping was truly heartbreaking to hear and evoke tears in all who heard it.

The civil and military officials were overcome with grief and knelt down, weeping together.

Meanwhile, the many third-generation disciples following behind Jiang Ziya stood quietly at a distance.

Jiang Ziya has already said that the Western Zhou is about to send troops.

King Wen of Zhou's actions at this time were nothing more than a prelude to sending troops.

Or perhaps this was just a show before the deployment of troops.

The Grand Master of the Chan Sect, Sect Master Tongtian, has instructed King Wen of Zhou to immediately send troops.

Having just experienced a life-or-death ordeal, King Wen of Zhou was also unwilling to wait any longer.

Once King Wen of Zhou finishes crying, it will be time to send out troops.

The Twelve Golden Immortals in heaven were also keeping a close eye on the Western Zhou.

There is always the possibility that they might descend to earth to help the Western Zhou.

Everything is ready now, except for the final push.

After a long while, Ji Chang's cries finally faded away.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Ziya opened his eyes, took a few steps forward, and helped Ji Chang up.

"Your Majesty, the loss of the crown King Wen of Zhou is truly a tragedy. Now, Di Xin of Shang is licentious and unrestrained, cruelly harming his ministers, oppressing the people, and his tyranny is an outrage against both gods and men!"

"King Wen received the mandate of Heaven, and his virtue is supreme in his campaigns. He is willing to eliminate this treacherous villain on behalf of all the people and bring peace to the land!"

"That tyrannical ruler, mistaking black for white, slaughtered farmers and harmed the people. King Wen should have immediately sent troops to save the people from their suffering. Only then could the Zhou dynasty achieve lasting and immortal merit."

Upon hearing these words, Ji Chang turned and glanced at Jiang Ziya.

A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

These words should have been spoken by him, but unexpectedly, they were spoken by Jiang Ziya.

I was really annoyed.

But since things have come to this point, we can only continue speaking on this topic.

"That may be so, but I am merely a subject of a local region; how can I presume to attack my sovereign?"

Looking at King Wen of Zhou's hypocritical appearance and words, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Your Majesty need not be so kind. That tyrant is licentious and has brought chaos to the people. They are now living in misery. It is against all reason that such a tyrant must not be removed. Your Majesty's dispatch of troops is in accordance with the will of Heavenly Dao, the people, and the will of the people, and is to save the people from suffering."

Upon hearing these words, Ji Chang nodded calmly.

"Hearing your words, Prime Yin Shang, I am greatly comforted. The tyrannical ruler of Yin Shang is indeed cruel, and the people of the world are living in misery. I am deeply troubled. From this day forward, Prime Minister, I will lead the troops eastward to punish Yin Shang!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya smiled slightly.

"Your humble servant is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"

King Wen of King Wen of Zhou's face turned somewhat dark.

He's already been sidelined.

However, this process must be followed, right here on the Spirit Terrace.

It's truly tragic, to say the least.

King Wen of Zhou thought this to himself and waved his right hand.

Then someone brought over three plates.

The three plates represent a token, a stagger, and a tiger tally, respectively.

These three items represent the highest authority in the military, serving as its symbol.

This flag is a command flag, symbolizing King Wen's waist token and the tiger tally for mobilizing troops.

Then King Wen of Zhou spoke loudly.

"Today, I entrust the power of troop deployment to you, my dear minister. It is most fitting that you lead the army to Campaign Against Shang!"

A faint hint of joy appeared in Jiang Ziya's eyes.

With a flick of his sleeve, he knelt on one knee and accepted the three symbols of supreme power.

He turned his head to look at the civil and military officials and many generals below.

A deep joy shone in his eyes.

"When the three armed forces are mobilized, a commander-in-chief should be appointed first!"

"Today, I, Jiang Ziya, will appoint the Commander-in-Chief of the three armies on behalf of His Majesty King Wen of Zhou!"

Jiang Ziya's gaze swept over the many generals.

Ultimately, their attention settled on Nangong Shi.

Nangong Shi was originally a general of Xiqi.

He commanded the troops of Xiqi for countless years.

Now that Jiang Ziya has arrived in Xiqi, he has directly seized control of the military.

From then on, Nangong Shi held a sinecure.

Now a large army is being dispatched to quell the rebellion.

Nangong Shi should still be placed in the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies.

After all, Nangong Shi is the most suitable person both emotionally and logically.

Nangong Shi saw Jiang Ziya's gaze, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.

Is Jiang Ziya about to reinstate himself?

Thinking of this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

I thought he would live out his days alone, but I never expected to be reinstated. This is a wonderful surprise.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared.

"So they're mobilizing troops? I'm not too late. I wonder if there are still any good spots left?"

His words were incredibly arrogant.

Everyone present was taken aback and quickly looked up at the sky.

There was an extremely large dark cloud in the sky.

A powerful being stood atop the dark clouds.

Judging from his demeanor, he doesn't seem like a good person.

"Where did this monster come from? How dare he cause trouble in my Xiqi?"

Jiang Ziya looked up at the sky, a cold glint in his eyes.

To cause trouble at such a crucial moment, is this person trying to get themselves killed?

You must understand that ruining your own good deed is equivalent to ruining the good deed of the Chan Sect.

Who would dare to act recklessly at this time?

He wanted to see who was so audacious.

"Please identify yourself, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Jiang Ziya's words carried far and wide.

The figure in the air soon burst into laughter.

"I am King Yinshi, and I never change my name or surname!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya's expression changed drastically.

It was him?

This is an incredibly powerful being.

He's also a super-powerful killing machine.

How did this guy end up in Xiqi?

What exactly is this guy doing in Xiqi?

Just as Jiang Ziya was greatly alarmed, the figure in the air appeared opposite Jiang Ziya in a flash.

Jiang Ziya's face turned pale as he looked at the figure before him.

The figure before them was completely shrouded in a black robe.

A layer of dark aura shrouded his face, making it difficult to see clearly.

It was none other than the legendary King Yinshi.

Rumor has it that this guy was one of the three thousand mortals back then.

I also attended classes at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Even in the Primordial World, this guy was one of the most powerful beings.

This guy's background has some connection with the Queen Mother of the West.

It's almost fair to say that he and the Queen Mother of the West were childhood sweethearts.

Later, the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East became closer.

King Yinshi immediately became jealous.

They engaged in fierce conflicts with the King Father of the East for countless years.

He was once on par with the King Father of the East, and they were evenly matched.

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother of the West eventually turned her heart towards the King Father of the East.

This caused him to become extremely confused.

In the end, they were defeated by the King Father of the East.

Then this powerful being disappeared.

Unexpectedly, they appeared here at this crucial moment.

What exactly is this guy up to?

"King Yinshi, what brings you here?"

"Our Western Zhou is preparing to mobilize its troops and launch a heaven- Campaign Against Shang. We will not tolerate anyone daring to cause trouble."

Upon hearing these words, King Yinshi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"I originally thought that the Western Zhou would be eager to recruit talented people, but now that I have come, I am actually rebuked by you? Is it possible that I, King Yinshi, am not worthy of the attention of your Western Zhou?"

Everyone was taken aback by these words.
