They were still counting on the demon prince to lead them to regroup, but the demon prince they regarded as their leader fell first!

The bodies of the demon gods trembled involuntarily, and a trace of fear appeared in their eyes.

As the strong men in the demon tribe, they never thought that the demon prince would be defeated one day.

An indescribable feeling surged in the hearts of the demon gods, that was fear, and uncertainty about the future.

The two demon gods Qiongqi and Xiqu in the distance were even more horrified, and their eyes showed unprecedented fear.

Although they surrendered, it was not out of their own will, but they were forced to want to live a miserable life.

But they didn't expect that the prince of the demon clan would actually lose!

The master they serve now, Yang Ling, is standing under the starry sky, like an unshakable god. The star power emanating from his body makes all the demon gods feel deeply oppressed.

His eyes swept across all the demon gods present, and the cold eyes made them unable to look directly at him.

The hearts of the demon gods were filled with fear and hesitation, and they dared not act rashly again. They originally thought that they were at the top of the food chain, but they didn't expect that the other party was such a terrible existence.

…

West Kunlun

The mountains are towering, covered with snow all year round, and surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it is a barrier between heaven and earth, isolating the hustle and bustle of the world.

The mountain streams are gurgling, clear to the bottom, and various exotic flowers and plants grow beside the streams, exuding a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

In the depths of West Kunlun, there is a fairy cave.

There is an open flat land in front of the cave, surrounded by verdant ancient trees. The sun shines through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows. The gate of the cave is carved from jade, with ancient runes engraved on the door, emitting a faint light.

Entering the cave, what comes into view is a spacious hall with various gems inlaid on the walls, flashing colorful light.

There is a jade platform in the center of the hall, on which are placed various fairy fruits and elixirs, exuding an alluring aroma. The magic weapons and instruments of the immortals are hung on the walls around, each of which contains powerful power.

Deep in the cave, there is a winding stone staircase leading to a more mysterious place for practice. On both sides of the stone steps, there are carvings of various fairy beasts and mythical beasts, which are lifelike and seem to jump out at any time. Going up the stone steps, you can feel a strong aura, which makes people calm and as if they are integrated with the world.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a secret room, which is where the Taoist Lu Ya, a scattered immortal from West Kunlun, practiced in seclusion.

There was a jade bed in the secret room, covered with soft brocade, and the walls were engraved with various methods and experiences of cultivation.

Taoist Lu Ya was wearing a Taoist robe, with long beard fluttering, and taking strange steps under his feet. Every step seemed to contain the mystery between heaven and earth.

He stared at the blood-stained scarecrow in front of him. The scarecrow looked surprisingly similar to Yang Ling, and every straw seemed to contain some mysterious power.

The scarecrow was inserted on a copper plate in the center of the cave, with dense runes engraved around it, emitting a faint golden light.

Taoist Lu Ya held a short sword in his hand, and the sword was also engraved with complex runes, faintly echoing the runes on the copper plate.

He muttered something in his mouth, his voice was low and full of power, as if he was reciting some ancient and mysterious spell.

With his steps and spells, the air around the scarecrow began to distort, and a stream of ominous breath emanated from the scarecrow.

He began to worship, and every time he worshipped, a faint light flashed on the scarecrow's body; he worshipped nine times, and cracks seemed to appear on the scarecrow's body; he worshipped twenty-seven times, and the scarecrow's body began to tremble; when he worshipped forty-nine times, the scarecrow finally couldn't bear the impact of this mysterious power, and it exploded and turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

As the scarecrow dissipated, the air in the entire cave seemed to be much fresher, and the originally oppressive atmosphere was swept away.

Taoist Lu Ya stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed, and the sound echoed throughout the cave.

"Hahaha, Yang Ling, you are finally dead!"

At this moment, a figure slowly walked into the secret room. It was Bai Ze Demon Saint. A trace of approval flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded and said: "Congratulations on getting rid of a big worry. If you can get the Hongmeng Purple Qi, you can really look at the world and the future is promising."

Lu Ya Taoist put away his smile, turned around, and bowed to Bai Ze Demon Saint: "Thanks to the help of the Demon Saint, we can hide the truth.

Now that Yang Ling is dead, we have to keep a low profile so as not to attract the attention of the Human Cult."

Bai Ze Demon Saint nodded and said: "You are right. Next, we just need to strengthen ourselves and wait for the opportunity."

At this moment, Lu Ya Taoist's face suddenly changed drastically. His body shook violently, and then he covered his chest and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were instantly filled with pain and fear. The whole person was shaky and finally fell to the ground, holding his head tightly with both hands, and screaming in pain.

“Ah——” The screams of Taoist Lu Ya echoed in the secret room. His body kept rolling over and over, and every time he turned over, he seemed to be suffering unspeakable pain.

When Bai Ze Demon Saint saw this, his face suddenly changed. He hurried forward to help Lu Ya Taoist up, and asked anxiously: "What happened to you?"

Lu Ya Taoist was in great pain. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "My... other half of the soul... transformed into the demon prince... has fallen!"

When Bai Ze Demon Saint heard this, he was immediately shocked. He knew that Lu Jun, the sixth prince of Jinwu, had split his soul into two to avoid his enemies.

Half of the soul was the demon prince who controlled the remnants of the demon clan, and the other half of the soul was transformed into Lu Ya Taoist, hiding in West Kunlun.

Only a few demon clan leaders knew this secret.

Unexpectedly, the demon prince has fallen now.

"Yang Ling... actually has such a method, this man should not be underestimated." Bai Ze Demon Saint said in a deep voice, with a trace of fear in his eyes, "It seems that you and I have underestimated him. If we don't get rid of him soon, he will become a big trouble in the future!"

Lu Ya Taoist almost fainted from the pain, but he still forced himself to be conscious and nodded, his eyes full of resentment and hatred: "Yes... Yang Ling... this boy... must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

The two people's eyes met, and they saw the determination and murderous intent in each other's eyes.

They knew that it would be extremely difficult to kill Yang Ling, but for their own great cause, they had to eliminate this potential threat anyway.

At this time, Lu Ya Taoist's body gradually calmed down, but his face was still as pale as paper, obviously he had suffered a great blow.

Seeing this, Bai Ze Demon Saint knew that the most important thing at this moment was to stabilize Lu Ya Taoist's injuries. He immediately took out some elixirs and carefully fed them to Lu Ya Taoist.

As the drug took effect, Taoist Lu Ya's breathing gradually stabilized. He closed his eyes and began to recuperate his injured soul.

Bai Ze Demon Saint stood by, his eyes deep, thinking about the next plan in his heart.

He stroked his beard gently, his eyes like a torch, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Ya, the situation is urgent now, we can't fight alone anymore. It's better to join the Western Church and borrow the two saints as a backer, so that we don't have to worry about the saints of the human church behind Yang Ling."

Taoist Lu Ya slowly opened his eyes. Although his face was still pale, the light in his eyes was unusually firm.

He shook his head, his voice weak but full of determination: "No, if we join the Western Religion, we will become puppets of others and will never be able to rule the demon clan. I would rather take advantage of the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods and join the Chan Religion."

When Bai Ze Demon Saint heard this, his brows slightly frowned, then he smiled and patted Lu Ya Taoist on the shoulder: "What you said makes sense. The Chan Religion is one of the oldest forces in the world. If we can make friends with the Chan Religion, great things can be expected."

Lu Ya Taoist nodded, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "That's right. The Chan Religion has Yuanshi Tianzun sitting in the seat, and it is on par with the Human Religion. If we can get its protection, even if Yang Ling wants to, it will be difficult to pose a threat to us."

The two looked at each other, and they could see a hint of excitement and expectation in each other's eyes. Although they had just experienced a tragic blow, their hearts were still burning with ambition and hope.

Bai Ze Demon Saint stood up, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "However, if we want to gain the favor of the Chan Sect, we must make some contributions. The Conferred God Tribulation is approaching, and countless heroes will emerge in the world. If we can make great contributions in this great tribulation, we will definitely gain the attention of the Chan Sect."

Lu Ya Taoist slowly stood up. Although he was still a little shaky, his voice was firm: "The Demon Saint is right. Once the Conferred God Tribulation breaks out, the world will be in chaos. We must not only protect ourselves, but also take the opportunity to expand our power and strive to occupy a place after the great tribulation. . "

Bai Ze Demon Saint nodded, his eyes like lightning, sweeping across the entire cave: "Then let's prepare from now on. We must first stabilize the internal situation, integrate the remaining forces of the demon clan, and then look for opportunities to contact the Chan Sect. "

Lu Ya Taoist took a deep breath, and the whole person seemed to be excited: "Okay, let's do it. Although I lost half of my soul this time, as long as I can use the power of the Chan Sect, I, Lu Ya, will definitely be able to make a comeback!"

...

In the secret realm of Donghequan, the air was filled with rich spiritual energy, and a group of demon gods gathered in a circle, their faces pale, as if they had lost their parents.

They originally thought that they were high above and invincible, but now they were forced by Yang Ling, a human strongman, and had to bow their heads and beg for mercy.

"Lord Yang Ling, we are willing to surrender! Please raise your hand and spare our lives!" A demon god said in a trembling voice, his body trembling constantly, obviously shocked by Yang Ling's powerful strength.

Other demon gods also knelt down and begged. They knew that at this moment, only begging for mercy would give them a glimmer of hope.

Yang Ling stood in the sky, overlooking these once majestic demon gods. There was no mercy in his eyes, only cold determination.

He said lightly: "You can surrender, but you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living crime. You must accept my seal."

As soon as the voice fell, Yang Ling flipped his palm, and the three major formations of cloud formation, thunder formation, and star formation were activated at the same time. The sky and the earth suddenly changed color, thunder rolled, and the stars flickered. An overwhelming force enveloped the entire Donghequan Secret Realm.

The demon gods were terrified. They felt the despair they had never felt before, but in the face of Yang Ling's powerful power, they were powerless and could only watch the sealing power suppress them one by one.

As the formation was running, waves of sealing power fell from the sky, suppressing all these demon gods to the ground. Their bodies were firmly locked by the sealing power and could not move at all.

There was no ripple in Yang Ling's eyes. He knew that if these demon gods were not sealed, they would become a big trouble in the future.

Now, they have become his captives and can no longer pose a threat to him.

After dealing with these demon gods, Yang Ling turned around and his eyes fell on the Qiongqi Demon God and the Xiqu Demon God. He said lightly: "You two, lead the way and continue to the Nine Sun Spring Secret Realm."

The Qiongqi Demon God and the Xiqu Demon God looked at each other. They knew that they had no choice but to obey orders.

They nodded, drove the Sun Chaser, and led Yang Ling to the direction of the Nine Sun Spring Secret Realm.

...

Chaoge

The walls of this Shang capital are tall and solid, built with huge stones. The city gates are majestic and magnificent. Bronze drums and battle flags are hung on the gate towers, reminding people of the city's former glory and honor.

Inside and outside the city walls, there is an endless stream of merchants and travelers. They gather here from all directions, bringing all kinds of rare treasures and exotic customs.

The streets in the city are spacious and paved with bluestone slabs, with shops and workshops lined up on both sides. There are a wide variety of goods such as gold and silver wares, silk, ceramics, spices, etc., and various hawking and bargaining sounds are heard one after another, full of vitality and vitality.

On the streets, pedestrians come and go, including nobles in gorgeous clothes, simple common people, and foreigners from afar.

In the center of Chaoge City is a magnificent palace with a unique architectural style that combines the simplicity and mystery of the Shang Dynasty. The roof of the palace is covered with glazed tiles, which sparkles dazzlingly in the sun.

Around the palace, there are temples, mansions and gardens.

Various gods are enshrined in the temples, and incense is flourishing. The mansions are the residences of the powerful. The gardens are full of flowers and trees, and the water flows gently, making them a good place for people to relax and play.

However, behind the prosperity of Chaoge City, there are also hidden crises and insecurity.

Now, the various princes are rebelling, the royal power is corrupt, and the people are living in poverty. The high building of the Great Shang Dynasty is crumbling, and even the capital Chaoge City has not been spared.

Inside and outside the palace, the power struggle is fierce, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks emerge in an endless stream. The tyranny of King Di Xin of Shang has cast a shadow over the city.

The sky is covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and lightning flashes through the clouds like a dragon, illuminating the entire Chaoge City.

The people in the city have hidden in their homes, closing the doors and windows, and only the lights in the palace are still bright.

King Di Xin of Shang sat on the high throne, his eyes were like torches, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, and a cruel smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

He ordered the conscription of civilians to build the Deer Terrace and the Star-Picking Tower. The grandeur of these two buildings surpassed everything, but the price was the blood, sweat and even lives of countless civilians.

The ministers made remonstrations one after another, but Emperor Xin not only did not listen, but executed all the ministers who made remonstrations to set an example.

Xibohou Jichang was imprisoned for opposing Emperor Xin's tyranny, and Bo Yikao, who presented treasures, was chopped into meat paste, made into meat jerky, and sent to Xibohou's cell...

This cruel act made the atmosphere in the entire Chaoge City even more tense.

Xibohou endured the humiliation and swallowed the meat jerky in front of Emperor Xin.

This made Emperor Xin very happy, and he let him go soon after.

That night, in another mansion in Chaoge City, Jiang Ziya was counting the accounts meticulously.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid wind and thunder broke the tranquility of the night, and Jiang Ziya felt an unusual breath.

He stood up, walked to the window, and suddenly pushed the window open. He saw a flash of lightning in the night sky, and then an ugly young man with wings on his back holding a white-haired old man came through the air and ran straight to his mansion.

The young man's wings shone silver in the night. He had a pointed beak and a dark complexion, which looked extremely strange.

The old man, though old and weak, revealed a sense of majesty of a high position. He was Xibohou Jichang who had just escaped from prison.

When Xibohou Jichang was in trouble, Jiang Ziya also helped him out of indignation.

Jichang's eyes revealed a trace of urgency. He walked into the house with a staggering step and looked directly at Jiang Ziya. Although his voice was weak, it was full of sincerity: "Ziya, I know you are very talented. If you can assist me, Xiqi will surely prosper. I am willing to make you the prime minister and work together for a great cause."

Jiang Ziya smiled slightly and shook his head. His eyes were clear and firm: "Xibohou, I understand your intention, but I am not interested in this. I just want to practice Taoism with peace of mind and don't want to get involved in court disputes."

Xibohou With a frown on his face, he did not expect Jiang Ziya to refuse so flatly, but he did not give up and continued to persuade him: "Ziya, I know you have great ambitions. If you are willing to follow me to Xiqi and work together for great cause, you will surely go down in history. The people of the world need you, and Xiqi needs you."

Jiang Ziya still shook his head, his tone was calm but firm: "Ji Chang, I have my own way, and I will not participate in your great cause. Please go back, don't embarrass me anymore."

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe and with a smile on his face walked in. It was Shen Gongbao.

"Brother." Shen Gongbao bowed slightly, then turned his eyes to Jiang Ziya, "I passed by Chaoge for something, so I came to visit."

Seeing this, Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed with a cunning, and he said to Shen Gongbao: "Shen Gongbao, you came at the right time. Xibohou intends to reorganize Xiqi and needs talented people to assist. Your talent and knowledge are exactly what Xibohou needs."

Shen Gongbao was surprised when he heard this. He turned to look at Xibo Hou Jichang and said respectfully: "Xibo Hou, if you don't give up, Shen is willing to follow you and do my best."

Xibo Hou Jichang looked at Shen Gongbao in front of him. Although he felt sorry for Jiang Ziya's rejection, Shen Gongbao in front of him was obviously a rare talent.

He nodded, with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Shen Gongbao, if you can join, my Xiqi will surely rise. I am willing to support Da Shang with you so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Shen Gongbao bowed and saluted, expressing his willingness to be loyal to Xibo Hou.

Jiang Ziya watched the two leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that although he didn't want to get involved in government affairs, today's action might be considered a good thing for the people of the world.

He turned back to the table and continued to sort out his accounts. The wind and thunder outside the window were still raging, but his heart was as calm as still water.

…

Xiqi

Located on the western border of the Shang Dynasty, it is famous for its prosperity and order.

The city walls of Xiqi are strong and tall, built of boulders and bricks, and the city gates are wide enough to accommodate carriages and horses.

On the city walls, many soldiers patrol and guard to protect the safety of the city. Outside the city gates, a wide moat surrounds the city walls, and the clear water reflects the majesty of the city walls.

Entering the city, the streets are well planned, with the central avenue as the axis and extending in all directions.

The streets are lined with sycamores and willows, providing cool shade for pedestrians. There are many shops with signs hanging high, and a wide variety of goods, from silk, bronze ware to gold and silver jewelry.

The vendors greet customers warmly, and the streets are crowded with people, but in an orderly manner, without crowds and chaos.

In the city center is a magnificent palace, the architectural style of which is solemn and elegant, and the roof is covered with glazed tiles, which sparkles with golden light in the sun.

Surrounding the palace are the residences of government agencies and officials, as well as various religious and cultural buildings such as temples, academies and theaters, which enrich the spiritual life of citizens.

Xiqi City's education is very developed, with academies and schools all over the city, where scholars give lectures and students study diligently, passing on knowledge and culture.

On the theater, opera and dance performances attract many audiences, who enjoy the influence of art here.

The order of the city is due to strict laws and regulations. Officials are fair and selfless, diligent and love the people, and maintain social fairness and justice. Citizens abide by the law, respect each other, and jointly create a harmonious and stable social environment.

In the suburbs of Xiqi City, there are fertile farmlands, where farmers work hard to grow grains and cereals, ensuring the city's food supply.

Between the farmlands, clear streams meander, irrigating the land and nourishing people's lives.

With the return of Xibo Hou Jichang, the streets of Xiqi were bustling with people and joy. Every household hung up colorful lanterns, set out wine and food, and beat gongs and drums, as if it was a grand festival.

Children waved small flags, ran around, and cheered "Xibo Hou is back! Xibo Hou is back!"

The old people sat at the door of their homes, with satisfied smiles on their faces, nodding and sighing from time to time.

Jichang sat in a carriage pulled by a tall horse, passing through this happy street, with tears in his eyes, and waved to the villagers frequently.

He saw these familiar faces and heard these sincere cheers, and his gratitude was beyond words.

At this moment, he deeply felt the blood-related kinship between himself and this land and these people.

Shen Gongbao followed closely behind. Although it was his first time to come to Xiqi, he was deeply infected by this warm atmosphere.

He looked at the deep affection between Ji Chang and the people, and couldn't help but praise sincerely: "Xibo Hou is really popular with the people, and he has a hundred responses.

Such a scene makes people feel excited. Under the tyranny of King Zhou of Shang, the people are living in poverty and the people of the world are suffering.

If you raise an army, countless heroes will respond to your call and overthrow the brutal rule."

Ji Chang frowned slightly after hearing Shen Gongbao's words. Although his heart was agitated, he still remained sober.

He shook his head, his voice heavy: "Shen Gongbao, I understand what you mean. I also see the suffering of the people in the world and feel the same.

But if we act rashly, not only will we fail to save the people from the water and fire, but we may cause greater turmoil. I can't be an unfaithful and unjust person, and I can't let the people of Xiqi suffer from the war because of my decision."

After hearing this, Shen Gongbao's eyes were firm. He took a step forward and his tone was full of passion: "Hou Xibo, I understand your concerns, but the destiny is sometimes, and it cannot be violated. The rise of Zhou and the fall of Shang are the will of heaven.

If King Zhou of Shang continues to be tyrannical and the world is in chaos, the people will suffer at that time. How can we stand idly by?"

Ji Chang was silent for a moment, he looked up at the sky, as if looking for an answer. After a moment, he sighed deeply, with a firm look in his eyes: "Shen Gongbao, I have heard your words.

Indeed, if it is God's will, I will not sit idly by. But now, the time is not yet ripe, and our strength is not enough to fight against King Zhou of Shang.

We need time, more strength, and a more careful plan."

Shen Gongbao nodded. He knew that Ji Chang was a man who could judge the situation and would not make a decision easily: "Xibo Hou is wise. Then, we will first stabilize the people's hearts in Xiqi, strengthen our strength, and wait until the time is ripe before we can make great plans."

Ji Chang looked at Shen Gongbao, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes: "With the help of a wise minister like you, I am full of confidence in the future of Xiqi. We will rise up against Shang, but we must not rush for quick success. Now, what we have to do is to consolidate the foundation, cultivate talents, develop farming, and build strength. When the army is strong, we will act according to the will of heaven."

Shen Gongbao bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Hou Xibo, I am willing to do my best to serve Xiqi."

Hou Xibo Ji Chang nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "I have heard of the talent and courage of the immortal. If I can get your assistance today, the future of my Xiqi will be brighter. I am here to formally invite you to come to the court to serve as prime minister and work with me to rule the world."

Shen Gongbao raised his head and said seriously: "I am willing to accept your invitation, serve as prime minister of Xiqi, and work with me to rule the world."

Ji Chang heard Shen Gongbao's answer and smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that his choice was right. Shen Gongbao's joining would bring new hope and strength to Xiqi.

After Shen Gongbao readily agreed to be appointed as prime minister, a grand ceremony of appointment was held in the palace in Xiqi City soon after.

Ji Chang personally granted Shen Gongbao the seal of prime minister and announced that he officially became the prime minister of Xiqi.

After the ceremony, Shen Gongbao began his duties. He and Ji Chang discussed state affairs, formulated laws, recruited talents, and reorganized military equipment, making Xiqi's national strength increasingly strong and the people's lives more stable.
