Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Although King Zhou was eager, his years of experience as a human emperor had transformed him from a straightforward young man into a calm, shrewd, and unfathomable politician.

Fang Hui looked at King Zhou on the throne with curiosity. Although he had been in charge of affairs in the Southern Continent for many years, this was the first time he had seen King Zhou, especially since he could propose such a bold plan to destroy Buddhism. This made him very curious about King Zhou.

In fact, it wasn't just him who was curious about King Zhou. Apart from Wen Zhong, who had just chatted with him for a while, everyone else present, including Shang Rong, who had met him twice before, all had a curious look in their eyes towards Fang Hui.

This gaze, besides being curious about his identity as the elder in charge of the God of Wealth Cult in the Southern Continent, was mostly drawn to Chen Fusheng behind him.

Chen Fusheng and Li Shundao are the two most outstanding geniuses in recent years... or more accurately, prodigies. In just ten thousand years, they have achieved what others have taken hundreds of millions of years or even several epochs to accomplish.

Especially since one of them was a disciple of a sage and the other was a disciple of the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms, their growth story became even more mysterious.

Li Shundao is alright. As the Heavenly Venerable of the Ministry of Finance in the Heavenly Court, he is a public figure, and people still have the opportunity to meet him. However, in recent years, he seems to have gone into seclusion to cultivate and has not appeared at all.

As for Chen Fusheng, before joining the Chan Sect, he was unknown and few people knew his name.

Until he became a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, it was as if he suddenly sprang from a stone. He first became a master craftsman at the Golden Immortal level, and then climbed continuously in just a few thousand years. Even the Great Luo Golden Immortal was not a problem for him. He charged forward all the way and became a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This made most cultivators very curious about him and even take him as their role model. In fact, just because he came from the Lingbao Sect, he has provided the Lingbao Sect with countless talents over the years.

However, Chen Fusheng was either in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain all year round, or his whereabouts were unpredictable and he could never be seen. Even King Zhou and others had only heard of him but never seen him. Now that they had finally seen Chen Fusheng's disciple, how could they not take a good look at him?

Fang Hui was quite calm about the looks he received. Although it was because of his master, Chen Fusheng, he was still very happy. After all, having a great master was something to be proud of, and he even felt honored.

Bi Gan and the others didn't keep them in suspense and directly relayed the responses from all sides.

It wasn't until Wen Zhong that things began to change slightly. Unlike Shouyang Mountain and Nuwa Palace, which only offered a supportive response, Huoyun Cave was merely left to be secretly looked after by the Five Emperors.

The Jie Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a great sect where ten thousand immortals paid homage; its support was considerable.

Besides Wuyun Xian, Jingu Xian, and others, the Seven Immortals also have third-generation disciples such as Wen Zhong, Yu Yuan, Huoling Shengmu, and Yu De; and fourth-generation disciples such as Yu Hua, Hu Lei, Ji Li, and Yu Qing.

There are countless outer disciples, with more than two hundred named ones. Famous ones include the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, the Four Demon Generals, the Ten Heavenly Lords, Luo Xuan, the Fire Goddess, Lü Yue, the Plague Goddess, and Lady Shiji, among others. There are also figures like Rahu Ketu, the Left and Right Assistants, the Nine Luminaries, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends...

Fang Hui also gave a general overview of the people from the Chan Sect who came. The second-generation disciples included Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, Xiao Zhen, Deng Hua, and many others. Among the third-generation disciples were himself, Dao Lin, Dao Ling, Dao Chi, Lu Ling'er, Ling Xian'er, Feng Jiu, Yang Jian, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Lei Zhenzi, Li Jing, Huang Tianhua, and Tu Xingsun. Less commonly seen disciples included Bai He Tongzi, Wei Hu, Yang Ren, Han Dulong, Xue Ehu, Wu Ji, and Long Xuhu…

Among the fourth-generation disciples were two golden-haired boys taken in by Yang Jian.

Compared to the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect has less than a third of the number of disciples. This is only because the Chan Sect sent some outstanding disciples from its branches in Dongsheng Shenzhou; otherwise, the number would be even smaller.

King Zhou felt reassured upon hearing this. With the support of the Chan and Jie sects, as well as the cultivators of the Shang Dynasty's own court, he no longer felt the unease he had felt when facing the two Western Saints.

However, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects will take some time to arrive, while the Five Emperors of Huoyun Cave have arrived at the Great Shang Imperial Court ahead of time to oversee the situation.

If King Zhou didn't have these five ancestral masters, he wouldn't need to be the emperor. He hurriedly summoned Wei Zi Qi and introduced him to the five emperors.

Wei Ziqi was a shrewd man and immediately understood King Zhou's intentions. During this period, not only was King Zhou under immense pressure, but Wei Ziqi himself was also nearly driven mad. For a cultivator at the Xuanxian realm, the affairs of the royal family had nearly driven him to the brink of madness.

The Great Shang Dynasty has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, while the Yin family has existed for even longer, a large clan that has lasted for over a thousand years. When the Great Shang Dynasty was established, although it only granted royal titles to a small group of close relatives, after so many years of development, the Yin family has long since become a powerful force that spreads throughout the entire Southern Continent.

Even some of the feudal lords are still on the royal family's list. Now, King Zhou wants to deal with the royal family first, which can be said to have far-reaching consequences. As the person in charge, Wei Zi Qi usually looks very powerful and criticizes the princes so much that they dare not fight back.

However, the royal family has been established for so many years, and there are quite a few people older than him with higher cultivation levels. During this period, he only made a move against a few families, which attracted the secret instructions of several royal family ancestors. If he and King Zhou were not born of the same mother and his cultivation had not reached the Xuanxian realm, some members of the royal family would probably have gone to block his door.

Even so, there have been undercurrents lately, and he estimates that if things continue to escalate, even he will soon be unable to withstand it.

He originally wanted to discuss with King Zhou again about assigning him an assistant. He had already chosen a candidate, the ancestor Yin Fan, whom he had just met not long ago. Yin Fan's cultivation was powerful enough, and his seniority was also sufficient.

Unexpectedly, King Zhou introduced him to the Five Emperors, five ancient emperors and golden immortals. In fact, everyone was their descendant.

Simply by placing the five great emperors out, they can suppress a large number of demons and monsters without even lifting a finger.

Just as Wei Ziqi had predicted, when the Yin family elders heard that Wei Ziqi had actually alarmed the five great emperors, they all cowered like turtles, becoming extremely obedient and no longer daring to step forward to relay messages.

Without the covert intervention of the Yin family ancestors, Wei Ziqi took matters into his own hands and arrested the most arrogant families from the previous period, bringing them back to the Imperial Clan Court. Although those families put up a fight, they were no match for Wei Ziqi, who was at the Xuanxian realm. These rich young masters, all of them well-fed and chubby, were no match for him.

They were originally waiting for their ancestors to come and rescue them, but after waiting and waiting, no one showed up. Although they were arrogant, they were not stupid after all. They were like defeated roosters and immediately became dejected.

After that, whether it was because they received a message from their ancestor or because they saw Wei Ziqi make an example of someone, the other families would automatically come to him whenever Wei Ziqi gave the order. It was even fathers sending their sons and grandfathers sending their grandsons...

The scenes of people putting on a show of righteousness and kinship were so convincing that an outsider might think it was a theatrical performance!

However, Wei Ziqi would not be lenient. Putting aside how bad the attitude of these royals was towards him at the beginning, the mistakes they had made over the years did not deserve any leniency.

Besides, with five great emperors finally in charge, how could he possibly miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Moreover, the Great Shang Imperial Court is about to go to war with Western Buddhism, and he can't let these rotten apples ruin this excellent situation.

Zhuanxu, Diku, Yao, Shun, and Yu were all emperors who had served as human emperors. How could they not know about King Zhou's little schemes? However, they came early this time for the sake of the Great Shang Imperial Court. It wouldn't hurt to occasionally borrow his name for important matters.
