Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya rode a four-legged beast to the city of Xiqi and met Li Jing.

"Prophet of the future!?"

When Li Jing, who held a high position in Xiqi City, heard Jiang Ziya's question, he couldn't help but frown.

After seeing this scene, Jiang Ziya sighed with a melancholy look:
"Yes, it seems that Wen Zhong knew our military deployment in advance, as if he had predicted it."

Li Jing frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and showed a look of sudden realization.

"Prime Minister Jiang, perhaps you are wrong."

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Ziya looked suspicious, but Li Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Prime Minister Jiang, you don't know this, but I heard this when I followed Grand Tutor Wen Zhong to conquer Beihai."

"Grand Master Wen Zhong has many extraordinary people under his command. I heard that two of them have extraordinary powers. One has the ability to see a thousand miles away, and the other has the ability to hear the wind. They can know exactly what the enemy is saying and doing."

When he said this, Li Jing looked at Jiang Ziya and smiled bitterly, sighing:

"I'm afraid that Prime Minister Jiang, your coming to Xiqi and my actions are all under the eyes and ears of Grand Tutor Wen Zhong."

"what!"

When he heard this, Jiang Ziya's eyes widened in shock.

Clairvoyance! Clairaudience!
Doesn't this mean that they have no secrets at all under the command of Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty?

No wonder! No wonder Wen Zhong had seen through all his previous actions. It turned out that there was no traitor, but that others had seen and heard everything.

"Haha, Junior Brother Ziya, don't worry. The ears and eyes of the Shang Dynasty Grand Master Wen Zhong cannot reach here."

At this moment, the laughter of Huanglong Zhenren was suddenly heard. After hearing it, Jiang Ziya immediately showed excitement and stood up to greet him.

Huang Long Zhenren slowly walked into the house, looked at Jiang Ziya and Li Jing and bowed with a smile.

“Clairvoyance and Superb Ears do have this magical power, but I am also in Xiqi City, and it is also the place where the royal energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathers. With the abilities of these two cultivators, they are still unable to explore Xiqi.”

"Unless their cultivation has reached the Golden Immortal Realm!"

Zhenren Huanglong said this with an arrogant and confident look, and Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"If that's the case, Junior Brother will be relieved. However, Wen Zhong has two extraordinary men, the Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Hearing Ears. Our army will be too passive in future battles."

Suddenly Jiang Ziya frowned and looked worried. No matter what he did in the future, he would be under the watchful eyes of Wen Zhong. How could he fight?

After hearing what Jiang Ziya said, Zhenren Huanglong couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Ziya. You only need to take a bowl of blood essence from the current King of Great Zhou, and then have this King Wu order the collection of gold and copper essence from all over Xiqi."

"I have refined a flag of the Son of Heaven. In the future, wherever the army of Zi Ya arrives, they only need to plant this flag. This magic will not be able to detect the situation of the army led by Junior Brother Zi Ya."

Zhenren Huanglong said this calmly, and Jiang Ziya immediately broke into an excited smile after hearing it.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Huang Long."

Knowing Wen Zhong's reliance and now having a way to break it, Jiang Ziya was naturally very happy.

As for Ji Fa becoming weak and sickly after drinking a bowl of essence and blood?
What does this have to do with him?
He only needs to deify you and help your Xiqi prosper, and he doesn't care about anything else.

It has to be said that because of Bo Yikao's incident, there was only interest between Jiang Ziya and Xiqi Jifa, and there was no human relationship as originally described in The Conferred Gods.

……

Inside the Shang Dynasty camp.

The victorious Shang army was in high spirits, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

However, after Grand Tutor Wen Zhong entered the commander's tent, he frowned and looked solemn.

"Master, what is this!?"

After seeing Wen Zhong's expression, Huang Feihu, Yuan Hong and others couldn't help but feel surprised and puzzled.

Wen Zhong sighed and shook his head.
“Although Generals Gao Ming and Gao Jue have extraordinary powers of “Clairaudience” and “Clairvoyance”, this Chan Sect is not a name that has gained its fame for nothing. They can only use these powers to attack by surprise. I’m afraid that next time Jiang Ziya will have prepared a plan.

In today's battle, I have seen that Jiang Ziya is quite capable of commanding his troops. More importantly, Generals Gao Ming and Gao Jue know about the divine whip in Jiang Ziya's hand."

When he said this, Wen Zhong frowned, which was rare, as he looked at the two magical weapons in his hands.

"Although the pair of male and female dragon golden whips in my hands are powerful, Jiang Ziya has a low level of cultivation, but he is confident that he can use the divine whip to fight against them. He even said that the divine whip is not inferior to the innate treasure."

Wen Zhong's words almost meant that if he fought with Jiang Ziya's magic army, it would probably end in a draw at best.

By then, his strategy of using force to overwhelm people and capture their hearts would probably collapse on its own, and he might even build a golden body for Jiang Ziya.

As the saying goes, success and failure are both due to Xiao He!
With Wen Zhong's mighty power, he can indeed bring tremendous pressure to Xiqi, but anyone who can fight him to a draw will also become famous.

"And after this battle, Jiang Ziya will probably have to go back to Kunlun Mountain to seek help."

After hearing this, all the generals frowned and went to Kunlun Mountain for help!
This was not good news at all, and Shen Gongbao in the crowd became even more jealous after hearing this.

eccentric! Too biased!
This divine whip was actually given to Jiang Ziya!
"Don't worry, Grand Master. Since Jiang Ziya can ask for help, I can also go to the Three Mountains and Five Peaks to ask for people with Taoism. I am not afraid of Jiang Ziya's Kunlun Mountain lineage."

Shen Gongbao's voice made Wen Zhong nod his head.

"Yes, my fellow Daoists from Jiejiao may not be inferior to those from Kunlun Mountain. I just feel sorry for the battle in Xiqi. Once the monks from the two sects are involved, I am afraid that the battle will take a long time."

In response to Wen Zhong's worries, Shen Gongbao smiled indifferently.

"Don't worry, Grand Master. I will go to the Three Mountains and Five Peaks to ask for help from fellow Taoists."

Shen Gongbao said so, Wen Zhong could not help but nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, in that case, I'll trouble you, Daoist Fellow Shen Gongbao."

After Shen Gongbao heard this, he bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, Grand Master, I cannot coexist with Jiang Ziya!"

Shen Gongbao's eyes turned red. Why did he end up like this when they were all his disciples?

eccentric! Too biased!
After watching Shen Gongbao leave, Wen Zhong looked solemn and said to the generals:
"Although our army has won this battle, we must not let down our guard, nor should we lose our morale."

"promise!"

The generals under his command apologized one after another, and Yuan Hong stood up with his fists clasped and laughed.

"Don't worry, Grand Master. Since Jiang Ziya has gone to ask for help, it will probably take another day or two. Why don't you take advantage of this time to let me lead the vanguard and give Jiang Ziya some more energy?"

"it is good!"

After hearing Yuan Hong’s plan, Wen Zhong suddenly thought of something and a smile appeared on his face.

"I wrote a letter in my own hand and told the soldiers who were harassing the Xiqi camp about this matter. Jiang Ziya is a fool and cannot lead troops to fight, but he wants to invite monks to come.

The souls of millions of soldiers who died in Yanshan are still there. I hope that those who are willing to surrender to me in Xiqi will surrender as soon as possible. I will forgive them for what happened."

Following Grand Tutor Wen Zhong's plan, all the generals burst into laughter, then clasped their fists and shouted:

"Grand Master is wise!"

……

On the second day, Yuan Hong and other Shang generals came to the foot of Mount Qishan to provoke, and the soldiers of the three armies started to shout loudly.

"Haha, Jiang Ziya is a fool who leads the troops to fight. Hurry up and call Jiang Ziya out to fight." "I guess Jiang Ziya has found that Taoism doesn't work. I'm afraid he is no longer in the barracks and has gone to ask for help."

"Generals and soldiers of Xiqi, Jiang Ziya is a fool. Xiqi will be razed to the ground by our army sooner or later. Think about the fate of Yuan Futong, one of the 72 princes of Beihai, and King Pingling of Donghai. They are all tough guys.

What will be the final outcome? Were they not crushed by our Great Shang? While that idiot Jiang Ziya is away, surrender quickly. The Grand Master has ordered that bygones be bygones."

The soldiers of Yin Shang were shouting loudly, while the soldiers of Xiqi in the camp were feeling aggrieved and more confused.

"Who dares to secretly communicate with the Shang Dynasty? My Fire Spear is not to be trifled with!"

Although the banner of no war was hung high, Nezha's face was full of anger in the tent.

Looking at the demoralized generals, he snorted arrogantly, as if he treated them as traitors.

The soldiers, who didn't think much of this scene, were filled with frustration.

Deception is too much!
Nezha has been tyrannical and domineering because of his relationship with Jiang Ziya. Now he is even more arrogant. To those who don't know, he is like a traitor.

Yang Jian looked extremely worried as he was trying to stabilize the morale of his troops, and seemed to be so busy that he didn't notice Nezha's behavior.

Even Jin Zha and Mu Zha were discussing in secret.

"Brother, while Jiang Ziya is away, shall we kill a few Xiqi generals tonight?"

Mu Zha looked excited, and Jin Zha couldn't help but frown after hearing it, and then said in a serious tone:

"Second brother, don't make it public. Tonight, make it look like these generals are planning to secretly communicate with the Shang Dynasty, and then take action."

"Brother, don't worry. I understand. Let's kill a few hard bones, and the remaining soft bones and some wavering ones, hehe! I believe that after this time, they will be timid in their hearts."

"Well, remember not to move these soft bones."

Jinzha and Muzha discussed it with each other, and secretly discussed it with Nezha. Suddenly, the three Li brothers got together and prepared for a big fight tonight.

After Yang Jian knew about it, he frowned again and again as if he was thinking about it, checking for omissions in their plan, and finally came up with an action plan for tonight.

As night fell, the sound of insects echoed over Mount Qishan.

At three o'clock in the morning, an angry shout resounded throughout the camp.

"How dare you! You rogue generals are planning to defect to the Shang Dynasty!"

Nezha's loud shout directly alarmed the Xiqi camp. However, inside this tent, several generals were even more shocked and angry.

One of them looked at Nezha angrily and cursed:

"You are so unreasonable, Nezha. We were discussing how to deal with the Shang Dynasty, and you broke into our tent!"

At this moment, suddenly a beam of fire shot up into the sky.

"It's bad. Someone secretly contacted the Shang Dynasty and set fire to the grain."

"Someone has set fire to the food and grass. Put out the fire quickly."

"Oh no! Someone escaped at night and must have gone to seek refuge with the Shang Dynasty."

"God damn it, you went to join the Shang Dynasty without taking me with you. Wait for me, brothers, there is only one way to go in Qishan, and Wen Zhong, the Grand Master of Shang Dynasty, has never been defeated in a battle. Brothers who want to live, run with me."

"Run!"

There was chaos for a while. It seemed that some people set fire to the grain, while others took advantage of the night to escape and surrender to the Shang camp.

Anyway, there were deserters and fires everywhere, and everyone in the Xiqi camp was in a panic for a while.

Where do all these random soldiers come from!

But it’s just so messy!

"Great! You are so bold. This granary must have been taken by someone under your command."

When Nezha saw the fire, he immediately became angry. He did not slow down and stabbed directly with his flaming spear, while shouting loudly at the same time.

puff!

Blood was everywhere. A tough general from Xiqi stared at Nezha with wide eyes, unwillingly. He did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own people.

Wrong!

Injustice!
"Damn you, Nezha! You actually killed a general in our army without authorization!"

When the others saw Nezha taking action, they were even more shocked and angry.

Nezha, with blood all over his face, shouted like a murderous devil:
"Your soldiers were guarding the food, but the food was burned. It must be you who did it. Give me your lives!"

Good guy!
Nezha is really daring and murderous. He is fearless and does not need to be like others. On the contrary, his pretending character allows him to do many reckless things.

"Nezha, you are going too far!"

"Kill the traitor!"

For a while, the Xiqi camp was in chaos, with people rebelling everywhere. Anyway, whether there was anyone rebelling or not, Nezha's roar threw the Xiqi soldiers, who were unaware of the situation, into chaos.

Not to mention that Jin Zha and Mu Zha set the fire secretly and framed him, and for a while, Mount Qi was ablaze.

When the soldiers in the Shang Dynasty camp in the distance saw the fire, they all exclaimed in surprise.

Even Wen Zhong was alarmed. After opening the general's tent and looking at the fire in Qishan in the distance, Wen Zhong's old face showed astonishment.

"Generals Gao Ming and Gao Jue, quickly investigate whether there is a trick here!"

The two generals, Gao Ming and Gao Jue, hurriedly displayed their respective magical powers. One had eyes glowing with golden light, and the other had huge hands, listening to everything.

After a moment, Generals Gao Ming and Gao Jue were both excited.

"Grandmaster, we see that the Qishan camp is really in chaos."

"Yes, the people in the Xiqi camp in Qishan have started killing each other."

"I saw Xiqi's young general Nezha was covered in blood and blood, and his eyes were red with killing!"

After hearing the confirmation from Generals Gao Ming and Gao Jue, Wen Zhong burst into laughter.

"Haha, God help the Shang Dynasty. Pass on my order. Order Huang Feihu, Yuan Hong, Zhang Guifang, Lei Zhenzi, Xin Huan, Deng Zhong, Zhang Jie... and all the generals to lead their elite troops to attack Qishan at night."

"promise!"

At that moment, all the generals in the Shang Dynasty camp led their troops to attack Mount Qishan.

This time it was too sudden, but when they arrived in Qishan, some people were worried about a trap at first.

But seeing the flames rising into the sky, many Xiqi soldiers rushed out, and they all showed bloodthirsty smiles.

"Kill! Take over Qishan!"

In the Qishan camp, Yang Jian, who was in charge of all this, pretended to be shocked and angry, and shouted hurriedly:
"Pass the order, the army will resist the Shang army!"

Mount Qishan was ablaze with flames. Not to mention that Yang Jian had any second thoughts, even if he was sincere in the current situation, even if Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong were here, he would still be powerless.

It's not that they are not powerful enough, it's just that the army is in chaos. (End of this chapter)
