Chapter 65: Two Days on the Same Sky, Black Bird Screams

Qian country.

After Jin Peng borrowed the Suzaku flag and used the Nanming Lihuo to destroy Lugui's undead army in one fell swoop, Huang Jian and the troops led by various princes did not act rashly. Instead, they defended the city, recuperated, and waited to see what means the Xia Dynasty would use next.

The enemy cannot move, I cannot move!
Now, no one knows what cards Lugui has left and how much strength the Xia Dynasty still has. No one dares to be the first to take action and start an attack on Xia.

Even Han Yi is the same.

In his previous life, according to the information he heard, this undead army appeared after Cheng Tang started his rebellion, when they were fighting against the main force of the Xia Dynasty at Mingtiao.

And now, due to the butterfly effect caused by Han Yi, Jiuli and Xuan Kingdom joined Cheng Tang's camp, Xia Geng died, and the time for Lu Gui to mobilize the Undead Legion was greatly advanced.

Although the general trend has not changed, Cheng Tang has not yet started his army, and the future seems to be shrouded in fog, and no one knows which direction fate will take.

"This time, although we have dealt with the Undead Legion, Lugui has also eliminated the rebellions of the Marquis of Jizhou and the Marquis of Yongzhou, freeing up a large number of troops!"

"Those soldiers are all made up of mortals. They can't use the same methods they used to deal with the Undead Legion!"

"Moreover, after several years of war, the Shang Kingdom has not yet recovered and is unable to immediately mobilize troops against the Xia Dynasty!"

"But, if time drags on for too long, other variables will inevitably arise!"

"after all……"

"Lugui is not a lamb on the chopping board, and he will not sit there and wait for Cheng Tang to come to him!"

Han Yi carefully analyzed the current situation, but found that the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth put him in a dilemma.

If Cheng Tang were allowed to start an army now, it would certainly reduce some variables, but in the game at the mortal level, apart from the weapons and armor provided by the Jiuli tribe, the Shang Kingdom obviously had no advantage in terms of military strength.

But if...

Let Cheng Tang recuperate and Lu Gui will definitely come up with some new tricks.

Today, although the general trend of Shang rising and Xia falling, and Cheng Tang replacing Lu Gui, has not changed, with Han Yi's constant intervention and planning, some things have deviated from their original track.

And under this circumstance, Han Yi began to gradually lose his advantage of foresight!

If it weren't for Han Yi's plan, the Jiuli tribe would never have joined Cheng Tang's camp.

The same is true for Xuan State!
And Xia Geng, at this point in time, had not yet died.

As for the Undead Legion, it was originally supposed to appear on the Mingtiao battlefield, and the one holding the Suzaku flag and destroying the Undead Legion was changed from Kong Xuan to Jin Peng.

All of these are due to the butterfly effect brought about by Han Yi's rebirth.

Taking it out alone may not affect anything.

However, the accumulation of several unexpected events has caused the future to deviate a little. No one knows what kind of unexpected events will happen in the process of Cheng Tang's subsequent attack on Xia?
Therefore, Han Yi could only think of ways to continuously improve his own cultivation so that he could be invincible in the next changes.

……

On the other hand, the destruction of the Undead Legion also dealt a heavy blow to Lugui.

He did not take the initiative to attack Cheng Tang again, but instead ordered the leader of Kunwu Kingdom to block the road between Shang Kingdom and Zhen'e, pretending to confront Shang Kingdom.

Not long ago, when Lu Gui pacified the rebellious princes such as Jizhou Hou and Yongzhou Hou, although he obtained a lot of wealth and freed up a large number of troops, most of the practitioners worshipped by the Xia Dynasty were lost in the confrontation with the Shang State, leaving Lu Gui in a state where no one is available.

no way!
Practitioners in Jiuzhou are already rare. Even with the Xia Dynasty's great efforts in training them, which took hundreds of years, only a few hundred people had accumulated so much experience.

According to the information obtained by Lugui, Jiuli, Feng Clan, Jiejiao, and Chenjiao all seemed to have sent practitioners to get involved in the changes in Jiuzhou.

He himself could not take action because he was being watched by the saint.

So……

He must find a way, or introduce other forces, to fight against the practitioners around Cheng Tang.

However, looking at the entire prehistoric world, the practitioners who are capable of dealing with the disciples of the saints and dare to withstand the pressure of the saints and have the courage to attack them are ultimately rare and can be counted on one's fingers.

"Xia Qi!"

The first person Lugui thought of was his nominal ancestor, Lord Dongming—Xia Qi, who had ascended to the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal through the way of ghost immortals!
He wanted to become the emperor of men, the ancestor of witches, and the emperor of heaven, but since his ancestor longed for incense and fortune, how could he not have a trace of ambition?

In fact, the reason why Lugui offered sacrifices to Xia Qi several times was not only because the other party was his ancestor, but also because of the power of the underworld in his hands.

otherwise……

Why should he spend so much effort to worship an ancestor who was more than ten generations away?
In the final analysis, it is just for profit and to plan for the future of the underworld!

"hateful!"

However, when Lugui tried to contact Xia Qi again, he found that all the information he received was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any waves.

Based on the causal relationship between them, he knew very well that Xia Qi was still alive.

only……

Because of fear of the saint, he chose to turn a blind eye and started pretending to be dead!
Xia Qi was unwilling to pay attention to him, which made Lugui very disappointed. He wished someone would cut off his incense.

“Well!” Lugui sat on the throne, his eyes piercing through the endless void, looking up at the sky, sneering: “If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

After saying that, he tore through the void and came to the place where the Nine Cauldrons were placed.

As a descendant of Dayu and the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, he also knew many secrets that ordinary people did not know.

At the beginning, when Dayu was controlling the floods, he expelled and killed many demon kings who were causing trouble in the Nine Provinces. However, there were also a few demon kings who, for some unknown reasons, were not killed but suppressed instead.

such as……

The Great Water Ape Sage Wuzhiqi!
Disaster beast husband!

Demon God Windproof!

In addition, there are some Taiyi demon kings such as Huashe and Mingshe who were killed by Dayu. Their bodies were suppressed in the land veins of Jiuzhou.

Lugui believed that as long as he was willing to pay some price, he would be able to use it for his own benefit.

……

In the ancient times, people did not keep track of years. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

During these two years, for some unknown reason, no major war broke out between the Xia and Shang dynasties, and both sides tacitly began to recuperate.

however……

Everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm!

Lugui was ambitious and would naturally not sit idly by and watch the threat from Cheng Tang continue to exist.

Cheng Tang, carrying the expectations of Zhao Gongming, Jin Peng and others, had to raise an army to attack Xia, which was a promise that could not be reversed and had to be fulfilled.

Both sides are recruiting soldiers and doing their best to improve the strength of their subordinates.

On this day, Zhao Gongming and Jin Peng approached Cheng Tang again and said, "If we delay, something bad will happen! Lugui has evil intentions. Please raise an army to attack Xia!"

Now, the army of the Shang State, after annexing the Wei State and with the support of those vassal states willing to support Cheng Tang, has exceeded one million. In addition, the Jiuli tribe has done its best to build weapons and armor for the Shang State. They feel that it is time for Cheng Tang to rise up and become king and attack Xia!
"it is good!"

"Just follow what the two immortals said!"

This time, Cheng Tang did not refuse and agreed directly.

After all, humans are fame-seeking animals. To say that he has no thoughts of becoming the king of men, ruling the nine provinces, and letting his fame spread to future generations... that's a lie!
Now, Zhao Gongming and Jin Peng came to him and said that he was the man of destiny, and that becoming the human king was God’s will, and they were willing to assist him with all their heart and soul.

Of course he wouldn't refuse.

At the next morning court session, Prime Minister Yi Yin presented a memorial: "I have heard that only heaven and earth are the parents of all things, and only human beings are the spirits of all things. The king of mankind is the role model for the people!"

"However, this year, Emperor Xia Lugui has disrespected Heaven, brought disaster upon the people, spread poison throughout the country, deprived the people of their talent, abused the counselors, insulted the Five Constant Virtues, was idle and disrespectful, indulged in wine and sex, and convicted people and their families, and officials for the rest of their lives."

"He persecuted the loyal and good Guan Longpan, and favored the treacherous minister Zhao Liang. He exiled his teachers and guardians, ignored the laws of punishment, and imprisoned upright people. His crimes angered both gods and ghosts, and both heaven and man."

"All the princes of the world, the common people of the nine states, and all the living beings in the universe have suffered greatly!"

"Your Highness, I, Yi Yin, now ask you to grant me the title of king, to raise an army to comfort the people and punish the criminals, to save the people from the water and fire, and to summon the princes to jointly punish the unjust and tyrannical monarch!"

Then, Zhonggu, who was now serving under King Tang, also stepped forward and said, "Lugui is unjust. What he has done is worth all the jade in Kunlun. His crimes are endless. The waves of the East China Sea are breaking, and his evil deeds are endless! Please raise an army to fight against the unjust and restore peace to the nine provinces. We are willing to be the vanguard of the king and clear away the obstacles for the king!"

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they all echoed, "Please raise an army to fight against the unjust!"

"It is my duty to punish those who are unjust!" Upon seeing this, Cheng Tang immediately stood up and said, "Please ask the Prime Minister to find an auspicious day. We will swear an oath with the princes in Haodu and raise an army to attack Xia!"

Not at all!

It is the capital of the Shang Kingdom today and also the most prosperous region of the Shang Kingdom!
In order to become the new King of Men, in addition to pulling Lugui down from the position of King of Men, he also needs to gain the recognition of the princes of the world and the common people.

Therefore, it is imperative to invite the princes to join the army to attack Lugui.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yin immediately bowed in greeting.

A few days later, Cheng Tang, accompanied by Zhao Gongming and Jin Peng, read out Lu Gui's crimes in front of many princes in Haodu.

Then, he ordered General Huang Jian to lead a million troops to prepare to attack Lugui.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black bird appeared in the sky, emitting thousands of brilliant lights and auspicious colors, which made it look extremely divine and holy.

Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, another big sun appeared across the sky, competing with the other big sun in the sky, showing an astonishing sight.

All of this was naturally the work of Xuanniao and the Taoist Lu Ya.

Both of them were people with great supernatural powers. Even if they were not in Kyushu, it was still easy for them to create some strange phenomena to help King Tang swear to attack Xia.

On the same day, the black bird cried.

After the boundless vision descended, many people all believed that Cheng Tang was destined by heaven, and they all kowtowed and said, "We are willing to follow the king to punish the unjust!"
