Jiang Ziya said to Zhang Guifang, who was surrounded by people and covered in wounds.
“Zhang Guifang, get down from your horse and surrender so that you won’t die.”
Zhang Guifang, who was covered in wounds, cursed, “You rebellious b*stard! To sacrifice one’s life for the country, to be loyal to one’s life, how can you be so greedy as to ruin your reputation?”
After he finished speaking, he rushed forward again and fought with the Western Qi generals. Seeing that the encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, the injuries on his body were gradually becoming more and more unbearable.
Zhang Guifang knew that there was no hope to change the situation, so he shouted, “Your Excellency! I can’t repay the country’s merits, so I can only die to show my integrity.”
After saying that, Zhang Guifang directly put a gun to his throat and died.
Immediately, a soul flew out and headed to the God-Naming Platform.
It was, “What’s the use of a hero’s success in half a lifetime, the name he left behind will be passed down for thousands of years.”
Zhang Guifang died. 100,000 soldiers either died or surrendered. The first battle between Western Qi and Great Shang was over.
…
On the other hand, you were brought back to the Buddhist League by Cundi to listen to the preaching of the two Saints every day.
You were on the path of the Devil Buddha, so all the Buddhist scriptures you had learned could be converted automatically. In a short time, your strength has also begun to improve by leaps and bounds.
Even though the great tribulation had begun, you still couldn’t take a step out of the Buddhist League.
Fortunately, one day, a disciple suddenly came to report.
“Venerable one, the Asura tribe in the Blood Sea of the Netherworld River is trying to kill their way out of the Netherworld and enter the Aparagodaniya Continent of the West.”
At this time, the Netherworld and the mortal world were connected.
Every place had a corresponding position, and because the reincarnation was guarded by Saint Houtu, the Netherworld could not be chaotic at all.
Therefore, if the Asura tribe created by Ancestor Styx River wanted to leave the Netherworld, they had to land directly to the Aparagodaniya Continent.
However, this was the sanctum of the Buddhist League, so how could it allow the Asura race to pass?
Ancestor Styx River was also a guest of the Purple Cloud Palace in the past, and his strength was extraordinary. The two Buddhist Saints didn’t pay attention to him, so they just let him develop.
In any case, most of the Asuras would be turned into Buddhas by the two Saints in the end.
‘Asura tribe? Blood Sea, Ancestor Styx River…’
Your eyes lit up. You couldn’t meddle in the affairs of the human world, but you had no problem dealing with Ancestor Styx River.
Coincidentally, Ancestor Styx River had a magic treasure that you needed.
It was the Grade-12 red lotus.
The golden and black lotuses were both in your hands. Although they came from different worlds, they were not much different in nature.
If you gathered all three Grade-12 lotuses, who knew what kind of effect they would have?
The more you thought about it, the more you felt that it was feasible.
“Senior Brothers, I’ve just entered the Quasi-Saint realm and don’t have much combat experience. I’ve heard that Ancestor Styx River has extraordinary skills. Could you let me go and have a fight with him?”
You surprised the two Buddhist Saints by speaking so suddenly.
You were at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, and if you continued to advance, you’d reach the Saint realm.
As such, they didn’t expect you to be able to improve in such a short time.
They thought that the Buddhist League had gained a lot from the addition of an almighty being at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.
After thinking about it carefully, you were indeed like that. It’s normal that you didn’t know how to use your powerful cultivation all of a sudden.
Even though you had the teachings of a Saint, actual combat was still the fastest way to increase your combat strength.
The two Saints looked at each other and agreed to your request.
Then, Cundi said, “Alright, I order Junior Brother Mo Luo to lead 500 Arhats, four Great Guardians, and two Bodhisattvas to the Blood Sea to suppress the Asura tribe.”
This battle array seemed strong, but when you saw their fighting power, you knew how poor the Buddhist League was now.
The 500 Arhats were actually 500 monks at the Earth Immortal realm.
Most of them were Asuras who had been captured before.
The four Great Guardians were slightly better, as they were at least at the Heaven Immortal realm stage, similar to the guardians of Great Shang.
As for the two Bodhisattvas, they were also very idle and had never been heard of in the future. One was called the Bodhisattva of Great Wisdom and the other was called the Bodhisattva of Great Leisure.
They were probably two people who had died early.
However, the cultivation of these two Bodhisattvas was not bad. They had already reached the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm.
They were only one step away from becoming Golden Immortals.
You seemed to be very satisfied with your subordinates.
After that, you bowed to the two Saints and led your men to the Blood Sea.
Cundi and Jieyin looked at each other helplessly.
They didn’t know if it was the Buddhist League’s fortune or misfortune to have recruited such a restless master like you.
A few days later, in the human realm….
The news of Zhang Guifang’s defeat in Western Qi had reached the capital.
Di Xin urgently summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.
Di Xin sat in the main hall and said to Feng Wu, “Zhang Guifang’s army was defeated by Western Qi’s army. 100,000 soldiers have been annihilated. General Zhang committed suicide. I wonder if you have any good ideas to break this group of rebels and traitors.
I’m going to seek revenge against Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya for General Zhang Guifang.”
Before the officials could make a decision, Jin Shengsheng submitted a memorial.
“Your Majesty, the general of Shanhai Pass, Deng Jiugong, is unparalleled in martial arts, intelligent, and brave. His daughter, Deng Jieyu, is also a general and has made great achievements. If we want to break through Western Qi, we can’t succeed without them.”
Just as the officials were about to agree, Wen Zhong, who had just returned, stepped forward and said, “There’s no need to order Deng Jiugong. Your Majesty, I’m willing to go personally to defeat Western Qi and capture Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya.”
The civil and military officials hurriedly tried to stop him.
The Grand Preceptor was an important minister in the court.
“Master, you have just returned from West-Hill. How can you go and work?”
“It’s just Western Qi, how can we trouble Grand Preceptor Wen?”
…
Di Xin also wanted to ask Grand preceptor Wen to do it. However, when he thought that the plot had only just begun and Grand Preceptor Wen would be of great use in the future, he naturally did not agree.
“Grand Preceptor Wen, you have worked hard and made great contributions. You have just returned victorious from West-Hill, so you should rest for a few days. As Grand Tutor Jin Sheng said, pass down an order to Deng Jiugong, the chief military officer of Shanhai Pass, to lead 200,000 troops to Western Qi. Send out Bai Kui and Huang Liang immediately. They are to go on an expedition. They are not allowed to stay in the starry night.”
As for Deng Jiugong and Deng Jieyu, Di Xin knew them well. Although they were powerful, they couldn’t resist Western Qi’s cheat.
Emperor Xin was panicking. Despite all the arrangements he had made, they seemed to have lost their effectiveness at the beginning of the great tribulation.
‘Heaven’s will, is it really difficult? Big Brother… Come and save me…”
