Chapter 138 Chaoge Storm
The new capital of the Shang Empire, Chaoge.

Ever since Emperor Yi's health began to deteriorate a thousand years ago, the entire capital city has been on alert.

The Jiejiao immortals took turns to be on duty in the Worship Pavilion, fearing that Emperor Yi's soul would return to heaven and earth without anyone knowing.

At this time, in the royal court.

Emperor Yi was half lying on his seat, looking at the ministers below with bright and spirited eyes.

At this time, Emperor Yi looked even older.

There was a deadly aura emanating from his body, which even a cultivator who had just achieved immortality could sense.

"Your Majesty, eight hundred princes are on their way and will gather in Chaoge from today!"

Emperor Yi's younger brother Bigan looked at Emperor Yi on the throne and felt sad.

A generation of king, who had only been on the throne for tens of thousands of years, died unexpectedly.

Judging from Emperor Yi's performance during his reign, he was definitely a monarch who could lead the Shang Dynasty to prosperity.

It’s just that things don’t go as planned!!
Damn demon clan!
Thinking of this, Bigan suddenly felt disgusted with the demon race.

"Have the eight hundred princes brought all the hostages they were asked to bring?"

Emperor Yi's old voice spread from the throne to the entire royal court.

Bigan said, "Your Majesty, the secret guards reported that the hostages of the eight hundred princes are already in the convoy."

"Some princes attempted to pass off fakes as real ones and sent commoners to replace their own heirs to Chaoge, but they were all exposed through various means!"

The secret guards were trained by Emperor Yi from countless orphans of the Shang Dynasty.

Once they set out, they dispersed throughout all territories of the Shang Dynasty and provided Emperor Yi with intelligence from all directions.

Within the limits allowed, there is always the means to handle affairs on your own.

After listening to what Bigan said, Emperor Yi nodded and said, "In that case, when the eight hundred hostages arrive in Chaoge, they will be led by Zishou and trained as guards."

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the ministers in the royal court changed slightly.

Some are happy, some are gloomy.

Finally, a minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, according to the etiquette, these eight hundred hostages should be commanded by His Highness Weizi Qi. Now handing them over to His Highness Zishou, I feel it is inappropriate."

As soon as he stood up, more than a dozen ministers came out one after another.

"I also feel it is not right."

Ok?
Emperor Yi's eyes changed.

The bright eyes gradually became sharp.

Noticing Emperor Yi's change, Bigan silently retreated into the crowd.

Emperor Yi said coldly, looking at the ministers below, "I am still alive, so you are ready to fight for power?"

As the voice fell, Emperor Yi's aura suddenly exploded.

Like a tiger that just woke up, he looked at everyone below with burning eyes.

boom!
When these words were spoken, all the ministers in the royal court trembled.

A feeling of suffocation emerged from Emperor Yi and filled the entire royal court.

Even Taishi Wenzhong, who had been silent, felt shocked.

"With the blessing of the human race's luck, no one dares to mess with the Great Merchant King!"

As a human emperor, Emperor Yi hated his subjects forming factions the most.

Unexpectedly, just when he was about to abdicate, his ministers actually dared to force him to abdicate in this royal palace!

This made Emperor Yi, who was originally planning to make Weizi Qi the next King of Shang, feel a little hesitant.

He has three sons.

Wei Zi Qi, Wei Zhong Yan and Zi Shou.

As his first son, Weizi Qi should have been the next king according to the system of primogeniture.

However, now all three of his sons were sent to the Worship Pavilion to practice.

Judging from the news coming from the Worship Pavilion, the three sons behaved differently.

Be it Wei Ziqi or Wei Zhongyan, neither could be as brave as Zishou.

During these tens of thousands of years, he has laid the initial foundation for the next monarch.

If the next King of Shang can proceed steadily and follow his footsteps, he will definitely lead the Shang Dynasty to completely unify the eight hundred princes.

Restore the ancient glory of the human race, unify the human race, and recreate the prosperous era of the Human Emperor.

Therefore, the next monarch must be the one who defends the city.

Zishou was brave and intelligent, but he made Emperor Yi worried.

He had already asked his teacher who would be the most suitable next monarch.

The answer he got surprised him a little, it was Zishou!
"Well, since the teacher has said so, let's do as the teacher says..."

Emperor Yi had the answer in an instant.

"Your Majesty, we are only concerned about state affairs, and have no other intentions!"

A minister shouted with a trembling voice. Emperor Yi said coldly, "No other intentions?"

"Do you really think I don't know what you guys did in private?!"

As he spoke, Di Yi's tone changed and murderous intent filled his eyes.

"My secret guards are not vegetarians!"

Boom~~~
Suddenly, a strange noise was heard from outside, and then a large number of soldiers holding blades rushed into the royal court from outside.

The weapons in the hands of these soldiers flashed with faint light, and the blades emitted a cold glow.

"What are you doing!"

Bigan looked at these soldiers, his face changed drastically and he shouted angrily.

"Uncle Wang, don't be angry."

As soon as Bigan's voice fell, another voice followed.

Hearing this voice, Bigan and Shang Rong's eyes narrowed.

Wei Zi Qi!
Bigan glanced at Wen Zhong who was standing beside him and saw that he had his eyes slightly closed and was motionless.

I felt a chill in my heart.

Wei Ziqi and his brother Wei Zhongyan walked into the hall with great strides and smiles on their faces.

"Greetings, Father!"

Weizi Qi bowed slightly to Emperor Yi.

"Father, I heard that eight hundred princes are on their way and will arrive soon. I have specially sent soldiers from my palace to the royal court to protect your safety!"

Emperor Yi looked at Wei Ziqi coldly, "Waste!"

At this moment, Emperor Yi was extremely disappointed with Weizi Qi and felt sad at the same time.

With such a bad character, he is not worthy of being reused!

For the throne, his own son actually led his troops to rebel!

It's simply outrageous.

Wei Zi Qi wanted to say something, but when he heard Emperor Yi call him a waste, his heart sank.

Just as he was about to speak, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong suddenly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the light from the heavenly eye between his eyebrows fell on Weizi Qi.

"evildoer!"

Wen Zhong suddenly shouted, "How dare you cause cholera in the Shang Dynasty? Die!"

Wen Zhong stretched out his right hand, and fairy light shone on his palm.

At the same time, the ministers in the hall looked at Weizi Qi with horror.

At some point, a dark shadow appeared on Weizi Qi's body, twisting and struggling behind him.

boom!
Before Wei Ziqi could react, the black shadow was pulled into Wen Zhong's palm.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a vixen!

"Humph!"

Wen Zhong snorted coldly and exerted force with his palm.

The fox in his palm was crushed into pieces by him.

After the fox died, Wei Ziqi was shocked and looked around with confused eyes.

After he saw the surrounding situation clearly, his eyes narrowed and he quickly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Father, I..."

But Emperor Yi did not give him a chance.

The old voice spread throughout Chaoge, "Wei Ziqi's heart is not strong, and he was bewitched by the demons. From today on, he will enter the Worship Pavilion to practice. Wei Zhongyan will go with him!"

"You are not allowed to leave the worship pavilion without being summoned!"

"From today on, Zishou will be appointed as the next king! The national teacher, Taoist Duobao, will choose an auspicious day for him to succeed the throne!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the ministers who had just stood up.

"This Dashan is the Dashan of my people! It is not a place for you to form cliques and engage in private interests!"

"Capture all these people! Confiscate their property and exterminate their clans!"

"Yes!!!"

Countless black-armored soldiers suddenly appeared in the royal court and dragged the ministers away.

Before Wei Ziqi could speak again, he and Wei Zhongyan were taken away by a ray of fairy light.

The soldiers he brought with him also disappeared.

After doing this, Emperor Yi continued to issue orders, "The Fox Tribe has violated the Shang Dynasty and seduced the Shang prince. This is a crime punishable by death!"

"Order the 72 princes of the North Sea to send hostages to Chaoge. Yuan Futong will lead the 72 princes to return to the North Sea to defeat the monster!"

"Kill the fox clan!"
