Chapter 54 Wait a minute...

The passage of time often happens inadvertently, and before you even notice it, it feels like a lifetime has passed.

Lu Gui sent Xia Geng to lead an army of 300,000 and ordered the two countries of Gu and Wei to help destroy Cheng Tang. However, due to the obstruction of many outer disciples of Jiejiao, the Phoenix clan, and the Jiuli tribe, they continued to suffer heavy losses. Not only did they fail to destroy the Shang Dynasty, but they also caused many vassal states to have thoughts that they should not have.

This made Lugui very angry!

On the one hand, he sent more priests from the ancestral temple to help Xia Geng deal with the practitioners under Cheng Tang, and on the other hand, he continued to increase taxes and gather the wealth of Kyushu.

Fortune is one of the many kinds of luck, and it is also the easiest kind of luck to obtain. He wants to hold a grand sacrifice again to take his cultivation to a higher level, and use this to... respond to the calculations of the saints!
Three years passed in a flash. The army that Lugui sent to attack Cheng Tang never relaxed, but several major events also happened in Zhen'e.

First of all, Lugui overcame the heavenly tribulation in full view of everyone and achieved the true realm of Daluo Jinxian, which made all the princes in the world extremely terrified.

Secondly, Zhonggu, who was originally imprisoned in the prison, was rescued by someone who cooperated with Mo Xi while Lugui was undergoing the tribulation!

As for Guan Longpan, he could not withstand the various tortures inflicted by Lugui. He, a famous prime minister, fell in disgrace and died in a dark prison.

Afterwards, Zhonggu, with the help of Xinyuehu, fled all the way to Shangdi and took refuge with Cheng Tang, which was a severe humiliation for Lugui!

"A bunch of traitors!"

Lugui is now focused on gathering the luck of the Nine Provinces to help himself go further on the road to Daluo, and has completely ignored the voices of many people.

Since it is a method of sacrifice, the higher the grade of the sacrifice, the more benefits will be obtained. As the king of humans, the most important thing that Lugui has in his hands is the fortune of the human race!

However, the destiny of the human race was suppressed by the Three Emperors. Even though he was the King of Man, he only had the right to use it but not the right to control it, and he could not use it for sacrifice.

Therefore, he could only find another way and gather all kinds of gold and silver treasures that carry wealth from all over the Nine Provinces to serve as sacrifices to help him move to a higher level.

The sacrificial method he obtained from the ancient Shinto was not for various innate gods, but for himself. He worshiped himself as a god, using the life fortune of heaven and earth and various innate mysterious origins, bloodlines, and spiritual roots as sacrifices. He took the strengths of all spirits and integrated them into himself in order to seek a perfect Taoist fruit.

Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Now, he is a Daluo Jinxian and can achieve immortality, but he is not willing to give up the throne of the Human King. He intends to use the luck of the human race to take himself to a higher level and become like the Three Emperors and several saints of the Heavenly Dao... a supreme being who looks down on the heavens and the universe and dominates the fate of all living beings!
However, Cheng Tang's existence was like a thorn in his heart, making him unable to sleep or eat!
Ever since he learned that the saints were planning to support Cheng Tang to replace him, a sense of panic arose in his heart, and he wanted to eliminate this threat as soon as possible.

however……

Not only did they fail to eliminate Cheng Tang, but they also lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and killed several practitioners worshipped by the Xia Dynasty. This made many powerful princes have some inappropriate thoughts!
Not long ago, the Marquis of Jizhou and the Marquis of Yongzhou, who were among the nine marquises in the state, openly rebelled, declared that they would "never pay homage to the Xia Dynasty", and then they raised their own troops and established their own states!

This made the situation, which was already on the verge of collapse, even worse!

Helpless!

He could only send two more armies to attack the Marquis of Jizhou and the Marquis of Yongzhou!

There were also some princes who, although they did not openly rebel, were extremely perfunctory when they paid tribute this year, and some princes did not even come in person!
This made Lugui very angry!
But there is nothing you can do!

It's not that he didn't want to take action himself. With his powerful cultivation as a Daluo Jinxian, he could put down these rebellions directly. But as soon as he thought of leaving Zhen'e, an extremely powerful divine thought would appear in the void and descend upon him in an instant, as if it was intending to kill him personally if he dared to take action himself.

saint!

He knew that this was a warning from a saint!
Only a saint can firmly suppress him, the Human King, in the land of Jiuzhou!
"Damn it!"

Lugui was furious, and then he came up with a plan. He ordered the palace guards, "Come here, go and get Jiang Wang to come to me!"

He is no match for the saint, so he can only temporarily hope for the blessing of the human race's destiny and stay in Zhen'e to prevent the saint from acting rashly.

but……

If he can't deal with the saint, can't he deal with a few of the saint's chess pieces?
Three years ago, Jiang Wang returned to Zhen'e and told him that there were disciples of the sage's Taoism who were making arrangements among the vassal states, intending to respond to the other side when Cheng Tang raised his army and strengthen the momentum of the Shang Kingdom, which made him very angry.

That's why he let Xia Geng lead an army of 300,000 to attack Cheng Tang!
He wanted to see, without Cheng Tang as a chess piece, which rebellion would the princes respond to?
But he didn't expect that the war would last for three years once it started. Although some successes were achieved, the 300,000 troops led by Xia Geng suffered even greater losses!
"Jiuli!"

He knew that this was all because of the weapons and armor that the Jiuli tribe had forged for the Shang State.

These weapons and armor gave the Shang soldiers a great advantage in the battle between the armies.

Now that the war was at a stalemate, he wanted to teach the Jiuli tribe a lesson from somewhere else, so he thought of the Xuan State that was controlled by the Jiuli.

The other party wanted Han Ren to become the heir of Marquis Xuanbo, so that he could respond to the other party when Cheng Tang raised his army, but he just wouldn't let them get their wish!
"I've met the king!"

Soon, Jiang Wang, led by the guards, came in front of Lugui.

In the past few years, he has practiced meditation and made great progress in his cultivation. He has already touched the threshold of the true immortal realm, and Lugui has not treated him unfairly in terms of various resources.

after all……

His teacher Huo Zheng lost his life for Lugui's hegemony. "Get up!" Lugui looked down at him and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Go to Xuan State, kill that Han Ren and Lady Jinhua, tell the truth to Marquis Xuanbo, and let him lead the troops under Xuan State and work with Marquis Qingzhou to quell the rebellion of Marquis Jizhou!"

"This……"

Jiang Wang looked embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I have met the second son of Marquis Xuanbo before. He has cultivation skills, but he had to choose to turn a blind eye because he was worried about the revenge of the Jiuli and those Xuanmen people on Marquis Xuanbo! If we rashly get rid of Han Ren, it will be easy for Marquis Xuanbo to run into problems!"

The strength of Xuan State is not strong, and Han Wu, the Marquis of Xuan, is just a mortal. If the layout of Jiuli is broken directly, the safety of the Marquis of Xuan will not be guaranteed at all.

"What are you afraid of?"

Lugui snorted coldly and said, "Since the Jiuli tribe has chosen to help Cheng Tang, they must pay the price! Moreover, as my subject, how can Xuanbo Hou be manipulated by others? It's just right, you cut off the tentacles of the Jiuli tribe first, and I will send people to secretly protect Xuanbo Hou. I want to see if there are any traitors... who dare to take revenge on my subjects?"

His idea was very simple, which was to disgust the Jiuli tribe and those people from the Xuanmen who were plotting secretly.

At the same time, I also want to see... if I can catch some big fish!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Wang felt relieved after hearing this.

"Do a good job!" Seeing that Jiang Wang had already touched the threshold of becoming an immortal, Lugui could not help but paint a big pie for him, saying, "When you are promoted to the realm of true immortal, I will make you the new Fire Lord! Let you control the Tiger Wings! And grant you the origin of the true fire of the sun! So, please... don't let me down!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Wang was shocked and said quickly, "I will live up to your expectations!"

……

Xuan country.

Jiang Wang flew all the way and arrived at the territory of Xuan State in no time. However, he did not kill Han Ren and Madam Jinhua immediately. Instead, he quietly came to the residence of Marquis Xuanbo and prepared to meet Han Yi first. He wanted to learn about the current situation from him and see if there were any people from Jiuli hiding.

"Who?"

Han Yi was practicing in seclusion, but suddenly he sensed an unusual aura and quickly activated the protective divine light to protect his body.

Jiang Wang quickly showed up and said, "It's me, Second Young Master, don't do anything!"

"It's Brother Daoist Jiang!" Han Yi smiled and put away the protective divine light, but he did not relax his vigilance at all. He asked, "Brother Daoist Jiang, what do you want from me?"

He remembered that three years ago, he successfully fooled the guy in front of him with his superb acting skills and made Lugui shift his attention to Cheng Tang!
now……

Why are you here again?
Seeing this, Jiang Wang hurriedly talked about Lu Gui's orders and the various changes that had occurred in Jiuzhou since he returned to Zhen'e last time.

"I see!"

Han Yi nodded, as if he suddenly understood something.

however……

In his heart, however, he was secretly resentful!
This guy Lugui is the Human King after all, and also a Daluo Jinxian cultivator. He is unable to destroy Cheng Tang, so he actually plans to attack Xuan Kingdom?
It seems that the other party’s current situation is not very good!
The Shang State and King Cheng Tang had not yet been pacified, and dozens of princes led by the Marquis of Jizhou and the Marquis of Yongzhou had openly rebelled again, which had made the contemporary king furious and he could no longer hold back his anger!

"Please lend me a helping hand, Second Young Master!" Jiang Wang said sincerely, "If there are still Jiuli rebels in Xuan State, please tell me the truth! As for the safety of the Marquis, after I get rid of these Jiuli rebels, I will ask the king to send someone to protect you!"

"no problem!"

Han Yi smiled slightly, agreed immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, I will take you to find the Jiuli rebels hiding in Xuan State!"

Jiang Wang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then I will come to see the Second Young Master again tonight!"

After saying that, he was ready to turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, Han Yi's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Wait a minute!"

Just as he was about to turn his head, a Gengjin flying sword suddenly appeared in the void, with an extremely sharp sword light, and pierced straight through his heart.

"you!"

Blood was oozing from the corner of Jiang Wang's mouth. He turned around and looked at Han Yi with an expression of disbelief.

Han Yi smiled slightly, took out the Nishen Spear, stabbed it into Jiang Wang's body, and said lightly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'm not calling you, but... I'm calling this flying sword of mine, it's called - wait!"

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. Your initial guess was not wrong. Those two flying zombies... were indeed created by me!"
