"Now that Xiqi is powerful, we should proceed slowly and carefully, and not give the Xiqi traitors any more opportunity to take advantage of us."

What do you all think?

Upon hearing Su Hu's words, none of the generals dared to speak.

Zheng Lun was made a scapegoat simply because he spoke recklessly and contradicted Su Hu's decision.

Now that Su Hu has spoken again, who dares to refute him?

In the Cheng Tang region, everyone was on edge, unaware that all these schemes were exactly what Su Hu had anticipated.

This is a tactic to make an example of someone!

As for Zheng Lun, he barely escaped with his life because he was informed in advance and Li Jing comforted him.

Thus, the situation reached a stalemate.

Su Hu spent his days having fun in Sishui Pass, ignoring the western expedition, and Han Rong dared not be the one to take the lead.

The people of Xiqi were on high alert, ready for battle at any moment.

After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect sent their disciples to the mortal world to assist the Great Zhou.

First came Yang Ren from Qingfeng Mountain, then Wei Hu from Jinting Mountain. Both of them came down the mountain one after the other to join Ziya.

Furthermore, it is said that the Red Cloud Cave of Mount Taihua is... He had cut off the three flowers on his head and subtly eliminated the five qi in his chest. He sat idly in the cave, nourishing his primordial essence and quietly waiting for the golden elixir to be refined nine times.

Unexpectedly, the fate of humankind suddenly changed. King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, offered sacrifices to Heaven and prayed, thus establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been established, it has sounded the clarion call for a counterattack.

Upon seeing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals all dispatched their disciples to the mortal realm. Chi, upon seeing this, also harbored some thoughts.

"Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has just been established, it is precisely the time when manpower is lacking. It is a good opportunity to send my disciple to the mortal world."

"Once he descends the mountain and achieves great deeds, this humble Taoist will also be able to eliminate the karmic obstacles he has accumulated and attain a state of peace."

Chi pondered to himself, "Now that the Twelve Golden Immortals have survived the great tribulation, it's the perfect time to send my disciples down the mountain for training."

Even if things go wrong, you can still gain some merit.

"Now that I have lost all my cultivation, I have barely managed to repair my damaged foundation with the resources at my disposal."

"I fear I lack the strength to return to the Great Luo."

"Yin Honggong has achieved the status of a celestial immortal, which can be considered a significant accomplishment in his cultivation. Letting him descend the mountain to serve me will be perfect!"

Thinking of this, Chi summoned Yin Hong to his side, suggesting that he go down the mountain to experience the world of mortals.

"Teacher, may I ask why you have summoned me?"

Yin Hong has been living on the mountain for over a decade, and he is currently cultivating in seclusion in the Cloud Cave.

Upon hearing Chi's summons, he hurriedly stopped using his magic to move the object and came to Chi's side to await his fate.

"unconsciously!"

"You've been up the mountain for over ten years."

"Years ago, I came from the foot of the mountain to save you from dire straits, and then came to the mountains to cultivate. More than ten years have passed since then!"

"The world is in chaos now, the phoenix cries on Mount Qi, the sage desires to destroy the Shang dynasty, and there is a great need for capable people."

"Your martial uncle is following the will of Heaven to go to Xiqi to assist the Great Zhou Emperor. You can go down the mountain and lend a helping hand!"

After Chi finished speaking, he looked at Yin Hong.

"I know you are the son of Emperor Xin and the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty, but I'm afraid you might harbor resentment about this!"

"Therefore I have summoned you here to ask you this question."

"Would you be willing to descend the mountain and make the journey for me, so as to assist the Great Zhou in its conquest of the Shang dynasty?"

Chi wanted to test the waters, but due to Yin Hong's status, he didn't dare to say it outright and could only ask the question in this way.

"If the teacher needs anything, this disciple will gladly serve!"

"I was fortunate enough to be saved by my master, and was able to learn Taoist arts on the mountain. I have long since severed all ties with the Yin Shang dynasty!"

"If the father is not kind, the son will not be filial."

"King Zhou killed his wife and son, a crime that has caused me constant resentment and heartache. How could I possibly let this go so easily?"

When Yin Hong spoke of this, his eyes reddened as he recalled how his biological mother was tortured to death by King Zhou.

He felt intense hatred whenever he thought about it.

"King Zhou acted perversely and had already alienated himself from the ancestral temple. Shang Rong and Bigan were both persecuted by him."

"You two brothers were not destined to die, and I could not bear to see you die, so I came down the mountain to save your lives."

"It's truly admirable that you have such awareness!"

"I wish to send you down the mountain for a journey, but I fear there may be unforeseen circumstances, so I require you to swear a solemn oath!"

"After you swear your oath, I will bestow upon you a host of magical treasures, allowing you to descend the mountain and assist Ziya, advance eastward through the five passes, convene the alliance at Mengjin, and annihilate the tyrant at Muye!"

Chi Sheng was afraid that things might change and that it would ruin the important matter of the Investiture of the Gods, so he made Yin Hong swear a solemn oath.

"If it weren't for your rescue, Master, I fear I would have perished long ago. How could I dare disobey your words!"

"If I were to descend the mountain to aid Cheng Tang, and my intentions were to waver, I would surely be reduced to ashes and die a violent death somewhere!"

Yin Hong made a solemn oath, and only then did Chi relent. Heaven is watching what people do, and oaths should not be made lightly.

Once a monk makes an oath, it will always resonate with him.

May Heaven and Earth punish those who break this oath!

"This is the innate spiritual treasure, the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe. When a cultivator wears it, all evil spirits will be repelled, and all magic will be invulnerable."

"This is the Yin-Yang Mirror, an innate magical treasure. It contains the Dao of Withering and Flourishing, and can unleash the power of life and death."

"This mirror has two sides, yin and yang. The yin side is white, and the yang side is red. The red side represents life, and the white side represents death!"

"Once activated, it can plunge people into a life-or-death dilemma, and it can also reverse the life and death of all things!"

"This is the Water-Fire Edge, containing the power of water and fire."

"This is my secret divine weapon. Take it and go down the mountain with it. It can also serve as a weapon."

Seeing that Yin Hong had made a vow, Chi Jian immediately took out all his possessions and armed him to the teeth.

"apprentice!"

"Your journey will be fraught with great calamity!"

"If you pass through Jiameng Pass on your eastward journey and encounter the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, she can avert this calamity!"

"This Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe can help you escape calamity and prevent the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit of the Jie Sect from harming your life."

As his departure was imminent, Chi did not forget to offer some reminders.

Upon hearing this, Yin Hong accepted the order, gathered all the magical treasures, and used earth magic to leave Mount Taihua, heading to Xiqi.

Along the way, Yin Hong recruited four more generals: Pang Hong, Liu Fu, Gou Zhang, and Bi Huan, gathering a total of three thousand soldiers.

On this day, Yin Hong led four generals and three thousand soldiers along the road. Unexpectedly, he encountered Shen Gongbao halfway there.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Shen Gongbao urged his mount forward, and three thousand soldiers marched toward Xiqi. Such a grand scene was rarely seen.

"Oh, I wonder what your plans are?"

Yin Hong had lived deep in the mountains for a long time. When he saw the Taoist priest approaching, he had some reservations, but he still showed some courtesy.

"This humble Taoist priest, Shen Gongbao, greets you!"

Shen Gongbao bowed and then looked at Yin Hong.

"Uncle Shen!"

"I was unaware of my uncle's arrival; I apologize for my rudeness."

Yin Hong had previously heard of Shen Gongbao's reputation and knew that Shen Gongbao was a second-generation disciple of Yuxu, so he dared not be negligent and hurriedly treated him with the respect due to a teacher.

"We are of the same faith, there's no need for such formalities!"

"Where does Junior Nephew Yin intend to go this time?"

Seeing that Yin Hong was leading three thousand soldiers, Shen Gongbao had another ulterior motive and wanted to trick him into joining him.

"I am on my master's orders to travel to Xiqi, intending to assist the sage ruler of Western Zhou in overthrowing the Shang dynasty!"

Yin Hong told the truth without hiding anything.

"Oh dear, nephew, how foolish of you!"

Have you ever heard of any shameful acts in this world, such as a son rebelling against his father or a subject rebelling against his ruler?

"Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Shang Dynasty. Today, you side with outsiders and attack the Shang Dynasty. This is disloyalty!"

"You are a son who attacks his father; this is unfilial!"

"You abandoned your ancestral legacy and handed over the country, causing unrest among the people. This is unrighteous."

"You have now rebelled against Cheng Tang, this is unjust."

Shen Gongbao listed Yin Hong's major crimes, leaving Yin Hong speechless.

"Your Highness!"

"Do you intend to become an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust person? How could you be so foolish!"

Upon seeing this, Yin Hong immediately retorted angrily, "King Zhou killed his wife and son, and severed himself from the ancestral temple. What does this have to do with me?"

"I have a blood feud with him."

"King Zhou was tyrannical, and now the world has rebelled against him."

"Although the Shang dynasty had filial sons and loving grandsons, they could not undo its transgressions; this was the will of Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao said again, "Your Highness, you are truly foolish. Your father, who was wicked, will not live past a hundred years."

"A hundred years from now, you will succeed to the throne, become the common ruler of the human race, and take the throne. You will then have a great role to play."

"Now you do not think of the country and its people; how will you face your ancestors a hundred years from now?"

The Human King's status is comparable to that of the Heavenly Emperor. As the supreme ruler of the human race, his word carries immense weight, and his pronouncements are as powerful as wise sayings.

"The sovereign of humanity?"

"Indeed, a hundred years from now, when I ascend to the throne as King of Men, I will be the supreme ruler, and then I will accomplish great things!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Hong was immediately tempted.
