Bo Yikao Sets Out to Save His Father! The Chan Sect Comes to Chaoge City

Xiqi City.

The Imperial Physician's Residence.

"Young Master, the refugees from Chaoge have all been taken care of," San Yisheng said respectfully, bowing.

"Um?"

Bo Yikao, who was dealing with various government affairs in Xiqi, raised his head, his face showing a hint of fatigue and a touch of bewilderment.

Upon seeing San Yisheng, Bo Yikao quickly snapped out of his daze and forced himself to ask, "Have all the refugees from Chaoge been settled?"

"Yes! As you say, young master, it is time to settle down. Those without wives will be given silver to marry, and widowers, widowers, and the lonely will register their names at the Sanji Granary and receive their own rations."

San Yisheng repeated himself.

"It's all settled!" Bo Yikao nodded slightly, but a hint of fatigue showed on his face.

San Yisheng was watching this scene from the side, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Young Master... are you still worried about the Lord?"

Bo Yikao paused slightly, and after a few breaths, slowly shook his head and said, "How can I not worry!"

"San Yisheng, you were also the one who settled those who fled from Chaoge. You must know that King Zhou misruled, built the 'burning iron' torture device, and set up cruel punishments."

"But what if King Zhou imprisoned my father, and then, in a fit of King Zhou, used the torture of branding on him?"

Bo Yikao spoke, a look of worry appeared on his face.

Although the imprisoned marquis should not be targeted by King Zhou in this way, Bo Yikao heard about it from some refugees from Chaoge.

Within a short time of King Zhou's use of the torture of branding irons, even Queen Jiang of the Yin Shang, became a victim of this punishment.

Queen Jiang was a queen, and her father was Jiang Hengchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, yet King Zhou persecuted her without mercy despite her status...

How could Bo Yikao be so confident in the power of Xiqi? The position of Marquis, Earl of the West could make King Zhou wary and allow Ji Chang to live in peace.

Although San Yisheng was unaware of Bo Yikao's thoughts and ideas, he was actually quite worried about them.

After all, he was also aware of the information that Bo Yikao knew.

But...

"My lord need not worry too much... When he departed, he said that the calamities ahead would last for at most seven hundred years. After the calamities are over, he will naturally return to the country."

San Yisheng suppressed his worries and offered words of comfort.

As a veteran minister of Xiqi Western Zhou Xiqi, San Yisheng was clearly aware of his lord, the Marquis, Earl of the West's, divination abilities, and was undoubtedly more confident in himself.

Bo Yikao shook his head slightly.

He naturally trusted his father's divination abilities, but...

However, it had been nearly a thousand years since Ji Chang Marquis, Earl of the West, went to Chaoge. Even though the journey was long, seven hundred years had passed since he arrived in Chaoge.

Can...

Even now, Bo Yikao still cannot see any possibility that King Zhou will spare his father.

After a brief silence, Bo Yikao spoke softly, "My father has been imprisoned for seven years. I wish to go to Chaoge myself to atone for his sins. What do you think?"

"Young master, please reconsider."

Upon hearing Bo Yikao's words, San Yisheng immediately became anxious. "Our lord has said that this calamity will last at most seven hundred years. After the calamity is over, he will naturally return to his country."

"But... Father has been gone from Chaoge for nearly a thousand years."

"Bo Yikao said quietly."

San Yisheng froze, his anxious expression momentarily gone, but as a subject, he still spoke up to offer advice.

"Young master is uneasy and worried about our lord. Why not send a soldier to inquire after his well-being? Why must you ride your own horse? This would not only disobey our lord's parting words, but also put yourself in danger."

But as he listened to San Yisheng's advice, Bo Yikao's face gradually hardened, and he slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"When Father was in trouble, he was imprisoned in a dangerous place for seven hundred years. How could I, as his son, bear to do this? The so-called establishment of a country and a family is nothing but an empty shell. What use are we, his ninety-nine sons, then?"

"Young Master..."

San Yisheng wanted to speak again.

But Bo Yikao's mind was made up and could not be swayed.

"You need not persuade me any further. I will personally take the three treasures left by my ancestors to Chaoge as tribute to atone for my father's sins," Bo Yikao said with a determined expression.

"Young Master..."

San Yisheng looked anxiously at Bo Yikao, wanting to persuade him.

But once Bo Yikao made up his mind, no matter how much San Yisheng tried to persuade him, Bo Yikao did not waver in the slightest.

Moreover, once the thought arose in his mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately went to the palace to bid farewell to his mother, the Taiji, and prepared to go to Chaoge.

As the ruler of Xiqi at this time, Bo Yikao's every word, action, and thought affected the Karmic Luck of Xiqi.

After Bo Yikao decided to go to Chaoge, the Unseen Karmic Luck of Xiqi City to change.

Only...

During the Great Investiture of the Gods Calamity, even cultivators would find it difficult to detect.

Only...

"The Karmic Luck of Xiqi?"

Sensing the change in the Karmic Luck of Xiqi, the Wude Divine Phoenix awoke from its deep cultivation and subconsciously used its Divine Ability Karmic Luck investigate the past.

Upon realizing that the change in Karmic Luck originated from Bo Yikao, the Wude Divine Phoenix's slightly tense heart immediately calmed down.

If other reasons had caused the change in Xiqi's Karmic Luck, he might have been more nervous, but this Bo Yikao...

Since the last incident, the support of Xiqi's Karmic Luck for Bo Yikao has been slowly fading.

Of course, as the nominal successor to the ruler of Xiqi, the extracted Karmic Luck still accrued to Bo Yikao.

Therefore, Bo Yikao's words, actions, and thoughts at this time could still sway Xiqi.

But...

The difference between Karmic Luck and being integrated with Karmic Luck is enormous.

For example, if Bo Yikao encounters any problems now, although the Karmic Luck Bo Yikao upon him may be shaken, it will absolutely not damage his foundation.

Of course, while Karmic Luck brings benefits, it also inevitably brings drawbacks, and in some cases, the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

The biggest drawback is that...

The blessing of Karmic Luck is a pure consumption and does not increase Karmic Luck.

It can be said that...

If any dynasty or power relies on Karmic Luck to bless its leader or king, then no matter how vast its power, ultimately...

They will inevitably decline as their Karmic Luck wane.

If it weren't for the Guiling, the Wude Divine Phoenix wouldn't have chosen to confront Bo Yikao in this way.

Does he really think that as the divine beast of Xiqi's Karmic Luck, Xiqi's Karmic Luck is something he can manipulate and play with at will?

How could that be?

Even with all her arrogance and pride, the Wude Divine Phoenix understood that Xiqi and the Nine Provinces belonged to the Human Race and were Human Race territory.

At this time, the Human Race... although not explicitly stated, was undoubtedly the number one race in the Primordial World.

Its profound foundation and powerful influence are beyond what the Phoenix Clan can directly confront.

"Snort..."

Gazing at Bo Yikao, whose head was gradually filled with black Karmic Luck, from afar, the Wude Divine Phoenix felt displeased and took out a communication jade talisman.

He relayed the news to Bo Yikao, then hung up and once again entered the Karmic Luck of Xiqi to begin his cultivation.

On the other side...

Needless to say, the recipient of the message from the Wude Divine Phoenix was none other than the Guiling, who had previously defeated the Wude Divine Phoenix.

Guiling wasn't angry at the Wude Divine Phoenix's attitude of cutting off the communication as soon as it was finished.

After all, the Wude Divine Phoenix was not a friend of hers, but someone she taught a lesson with her fists, so it's not surprising that she would have this attitude.

And...

Such a trivial matter pales in comparison to the matter concerning Bo Yikao.

Although it was just a slight Karmic Luck, Guiling's intuition told her that the time they had been waiting for to 'educate' Bo Yikao had come.

Without hesitation, Guiling extended his Divine Sense directly towards Xiqi, beginning to search for the reason behind Bo Yikao's Karmic Luck.

Then...

"Going to Chaoge? To atone for my father's sins?"

When Guiling learned the reason for Bo Yikao's change in Karmic Luck, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Although it was already known that Bo Yikao's temperament had become slightly problematic under the influence of the Wude Divine Phoenix, but...

Now you're personally going to Chaoge to present ancestral treasures, hoping to atone for the sins of the Marquis, Earl of the West?

What kind of operation is this?

Since everyone suspects that King Zhou might harm Ji Chang, are you going there in person... offering yourself up as a gift?

Could it be that King Zhou dared to attack Ji Chang, but wouldn't dare attack you? Or does he... believe that his ancestral treasures could tempt the current ruler of the Yin Shang Dynasty, King Zhou?

This...

Have they disregarded life and death?

It doesn't seem like it!

After all, even if Bo Yikao disregarded his own life and death, he couldn't possibly disregard the life and death of Marquis, Earl of the West Ji Chang!

This wave...

Bo Yikao genuinely believed that he could save Ji Chang.

"So... this can't even be called turning back with confidence anymore, it's more like being blinded by confidence!" Guiling thought to himself.

Then...

Silently, the Guiling Divine Ability used its supernatural powers, and Small Thousand World shaped like a crystal ball fell into its hands, recording Bo Yikao's words and actions.

Um...

One of her master's most prized Divine Ability.

Even the Heavenly Dao Sage and Great Dao Sage possess the Divine Ability to record complete images.

Although her master did not tell her the name of this Divine Ability.

But the Guiling calls it... the World! Eternal and boundless—

Its significance lies in the fact that it records all of this throughout the ages!

Of course, Guiling doesn't have the ability to record influences without being detected by Sage, but... a mere Bo Yikao is no problem.

Even if...

This Bo Yikao later became the Purple Tånúó Star God, achieving the status of Daluo Golden Immortal and even Quasi-Sage, transcending the River of Space and Time.

However, the image in the Guiling's hand will not be affected in the slightest.

Looking at the crystal ball in his hand, Guiling was fairly satisfied and put it away. This was the dark history of a future Daluo or even Quasi-Sage.

As beings who transcend the river of time, from the moment they achieve the Daluo realm, all traces of a cultivator's existence over the years cease to exist.

This kind of dark history is definitely worth selling... It's absolutely something worth treasuring. The future Purple Tenuity Star Spirit would certainly be very happy to collect this kind of footage of their past.

(Purple Tånúó Star God - Bo Yikao: Thank you so much!)

After finishing all this, Guiling then notified Jinling, who was searching for other star gods in the Primordial World.

Chaoge City!

They watched as the Xiqi caravan entered Chaoge.

Jinling remained silent.

"They... really went in like that?"

Jinling was truly speechless about her family's reincarnation as the Purple Tånúó Star God.

Even now, Jinling is wondering if she should let Bo Yikao go for now and allow him to train with the Human Race.

Only...

Considering that Bo Yikao's words might worsen the situation, Jinling abandoned the idea.

"Bo Yikao has already entered Chaoge. I will send a message to the Wude Divine Phoenix and have him begin to withdraw the blessing of Xiqi's Karmic Luck?"

Guiling looked at Jinling beside him and asked.

Although it was planned in advance, when the moment actually arrived, Guiling still couldn't help but ask Jinling again.

The next step is to cut off the blessing of Xiqi's Karmic Luck to Bo Yikao.

Furthermore, Jinling was able to sever the Karmic Luck on Bo Yikao.

With all his Karmic Luck gone, Bo Yikao's chances of surviving in Chaoge were practically zero.

Of course, that's not the key point.

In the Primordial World, reincarnation exists.

This simple matter of life and death could not shake Jinling and Guiling.

The key is...

Given this gloomy Karmic Luck, Bo Yikao's 'death' will likely be extremely tragic.

Although...

That was their original intention.

"Yes!" Jinling nodded without the slightest hesitation. As Quasi-Sage, his Dao heart was firm and would never perish throughout the ages, so naturally he would not hesitate over such a trivial matter.

Only...

"Etc..."

Just as Guiling was about to send a message to the Wude Divine Phoenix, Jinling suddenly spoke up, stopping Guiling from sending the message.

Guiling was slightly taken aback, thinking that Jinling was preparing to betray them at this moment.

But...

When Guiling saw Jinling's gaze, he was stunned.

Although this kind of gaze is not very common, Guiling is certain that it is the look that Jinling gives when he sees his 'prey'.

Following Jinling's gaze, Guiling looked into the distance.

In the distance, on the horizon, several figures were flying towards Chaoge City.

Who else could it be but True Person Taiyi of the Chan Sect?

Accompanying True Person Taiyi was Yuding True Person, who was also one of the Twelve High Immortals of the Chan Sect.

With two second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect and True Person Taiyi by his side, Guiling instantly understood why Jinling had shown that kind of look in his eyes.

A thousand years have passed since the incident involving Lingzhuzi of Chentang Pass, but for Quasi-Sage, a thousand years is no different from what happened just a second ago.

Don't be fooled by Jinling's measured and tolerant demeanor when she targeted True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian in the Golden Light Cave. Just because she was so tolerant doesn't mean she held no grudges.

At that time, Jinling only chose to verbally provoke Taiyi because she guessed that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi might be watching her, but if Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had not been there...

Jinling had already sent True Person Taiyi, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, and True Person Puxian into the resurrection process with a single slap.

And...

After that, although she survived the pursuit of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, it did not mean that Jinling's anger had subsided.

On the contrary, after witnessing the Sage and revered Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun, who, despite being a sage, attacked her with intense killing intent, this was a far cry from the true nature of the situation.

Jinling's hatred for the Chan Sect and for Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had already taken deep root.

Over the course of this thousand years, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, who had already broken off all pretense of civility, have engaged in numerous battles.

Even on the Investiture of the Gods, several names have already appeared.

"Guiling, let's change the plan slightly..." Jinling said softly, looking at True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person in the distance, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"Without affecting Bo Yikao's final fate..." Jinling's cold voice paused slightly, "at the very least, I will send this True Person Taiyi onto the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods— "
