Genres:Sci-Fi and Supernatural Last update:25/03/24 18:09:21
    At the end of the farewell banquet, Huang Feihuang began to talk about the current battle situation in Xique.

    Deng Chanyu spent almost half a year in mountain cultivation, and the Yin Dynasty and Xique had already gone to war.

    Su Hu's personality was as fiery as a raging fire, and his fighting style was extremely fierce.

    After receiving instructions from the old bear, the Xique soldiers began to resemble the style of the Nine Tribes of Liyu, valuing offensive tactics greatly in battle.

    The two sides fought for nearly three months, with both sides gaining and losing at times.

    The general Huang Yuanji of Chonghou Tiger was killed by Nan Gongsu, and a general with the surname Ji from Xique also died in the battle. King Ji Chang had too many sons, and he couldn't recognize many of them. He also couldn't figure out which son was dead, as there were so many. In the end, one of his sons had died.

    In terms of cultivators, it was Chong Heihou from the Shang Dynasty facing off against Zheng Lun, dealing with Tu Xingsun from Xique.

    Chong Heihou began his cultivation in childhood with an alien, riding a "Fire-Eyed Golden Beast," wielding two broadswords, and possessing a magical treasure called "Iron-Mouthed Divine Eagle." This item is somewhat similar to alchemical statutes in fantasy Western stories. When activated, it summons a divine eagle to bite people, emphasizing speed. The actual damage it causes is relatively mild and not as effective as Deng Chanyu's five-color stone.

    Zheng Lun's master was Du E, the True Immortal of Xikun Mountain. This True Immortal was the one who sent Li Jing down the mountain without giving him a cent, and he was slightly more kind to Zheng Lun, sending him a "Fire-Eyed Golden Beast" as a mount.

    That means that in the Shang camp now, there are two mythical beasts, both of which are Fire-Eyed Golden Beasts...

    Zheng Lun had no magical treasures, but thankfully, Du E taught him to control the qi in his nose, allowing him to spit out two white lights when facing enemies, which could be considered a skill.

    Tuxing Sun was actually weak, but he could not withstand the attack from these two, as they were also at a relatively low level. These two could be considered as practitioners of leftist paths. Tuxing Sun was a genuine and well-trained disciple of the Hsun T'ao school, trained in a formal and rigorous way. He held his own against two opponents, taking the upper hand, occasionally using his earth-walking skill to infiltrate the enemy camp and start fires. Now, the Shang Dynasty army was completely suppressed by Xique forces, pinned down to the Sanjin Pass.

    Upon hearing this series of messages, Deng Chanyu felt a bit melancholic.

    The onset of the Great Calamity of Divine Beings actually began in such a manner that she had completely not expected.

    The most terrifying aspect of the great disaster was not the swords and spears, but the confusion that affected people's hearts at every moment.

    During this period, from the immortal Zhao Gongming, who had "cultivated the great Dao and proven the root and practice of the three vehicles," to the Jin Ling Mother of Taoism, who had "perfected her morality and endured thousands of calamities," down to the common laborers in both Yin and Xique states, under the great disaster, creatures would easily become "furious," "very angry," or "suddenly angry."

    In the world of dust, there is no place for pure land.

    Even immortals couldn't escape, let alone ordinary people.

    Deng Chanyu didn't know when she would be affected by the calamity aura, so she could only strengthen herself to meet the great disaster that was sweeping through the entire sanjie (three realms).

    "Is this the Five-Color Divine Ox?" Under the guidance of Biubiu, she saw Huang Feihuang's steed of Wucheng Wang, a divine beast with five-colored hair, unafraid of fierce beasts, capable of traveling a thousand li a day, and most importantly, it had a very good temper.

    Deng Chanyu poked the cow's forehead with her finger, and the old cow rolled its eyes but made no sound.

    The five-color stone and the five-color divine ox are so perfect together!

    She couldn't easily say that this object had a predestined connection with me, but in reality, she felt there might indeed be some kind of fated link between her and this artifact.

    In the original time space, Huang Feihuang was killed by Zhang Kui, and there was no further mention of this cow. It's not known if it was taken back by Ji Ziyang to be eaten.

    She felt that she could pay attention when the time came, if Huang Feihuang still died, she would take the cow as her mount. Having a mount for the purposes of +1 affair is still very necessary...

    ......

    The Old Mother of Li Mountain only said that Jiang Ziya was in the capital, Chao Geng, but didn't specify where. As a capital city, Chao Geng was vast and densely populated. At this time, Jiang Ziya could have been selling noodles or weaving fences somewhere in the sea of people, and even Huang Feibiao would be hard-pressed to find him in such a hurry.

    Ji Chang lived to be 97 years old, which was an extremely long life in that era. In fact, there was another person in Chao Geng around the same age as him. That person was Ma Yuanbei!

    Who was this Ma Yuanbei? He was the father of Ma Shih, the 68-year-old "Chao Geng masses" who was still a virgin.

    Jiang Ziya went down the mountain at the age of 72 to find his sworn brother Song Yiren. Since he was a sworn brother, his age must be older than Jiang Ziya's. At such an advanced age, Song Yuanbei went to Ma Jiazhuang and was addressed as "Xianxi" (a term of respect for a younger brother) by Ma Yuanbei. Taking into account the age of Ma Shi, this Ma Yuanbei must have been approaching 90 years old.

    Songshe Village and Mahe Village were not hard to locate, but in those days, the household registration system was virtually nonexistent. Finding Jiang Ziya, a blind wanderer for over forty years, who had been wandering alone for so long, was indeed quite challenging.

    Deng Chanyu wants to contact this host of the Sealing of the Gods, not to capture him. Many official strong-arm methods cannot be used in this case.

    As Jiang Ziya had no news for a while, Deng Chanyu left Huang Feihuo and Huang Feibiao after just two days and went to the front line in Xique.

    According to the original text, Jiang Ziya will serve as a sub-director in the Shang Dynasty for five years. This is not urgent, so wait a few days and see if he can be seen. Tuxing Sun has "a path to death" now, but this matter is urgent. Let's solve the urgent matter first.

    ......

    Chonghou Tiger and Su Protect were soundly defeated by Xique.

    Tuxing Sun captured Chong Heihou, the younger brother of Chonghou Tiger, with his binding magic rope. Following this, King Ji Chang, who had a charisma rating of 99 points, intervened to persuade Chong Heihou to surrender.

    In the midst of the two armies facing each other, upon seeing that Chong Heihou's younger brother had appeared in the enemy camp, Chong Heihou's army collapsed instantly. This was followed by the collapse of Su Protect's army as well.

    The great general of Xique, known as "I've been fighting for my whole life and can enjoy a few good years at the end," Nangong Shidi immediately led his army in fierce attacks.

    Han Rong, the commander of Sanjin Pass, closed the gates firmly, preventing Chonghou Tiger and Su Protect from entering. Chonghou Tiger led his remaining troops and soldiers northward towards Chongcheng, while Su Protect was still organizing his troops and attempting to stabilize the situation.

    "Being soundly beaten? That's not good at all."

    Deng Chanyu's dudou art has greatly improved, and she is now able to use fire transformation to accompany her companion, the Bull. Riding a horse, she appeared in the middle of the mountain slope, watching as the Yin army was routed. For a moment, she hesitated.

    "Hmm, let's go find Su Protect first..."

    Deng Chanyu is not a fool. In this era, not being an immortal, yet having a beauty that surpasses her, and living in Ji Zhou City, the girl known as Ji only matches the later Su Daji who was criticized and cursed by mouth and pen. There's no one else.

    Despite having some serious illness, Ji Girl is one of Deng Chanyu's few good friends. From a heartfelt and logical perspective, she has to help Ji Girl's father.

    ......

    "Lord, quick, go!" Supervisor of supplies Zheng Lun shouted.

    The general's face was a deep purple, his whiskers like needles, and he normally wore a nine-cloud raging flame crown. Clad in a crimson robe with a gold-plated iron chain armor underneath, he rode on the Fire-Eyed Golden Beast, wielding two rather heavy magic hammers.

    At this moment, with the army suffering a great defeat, the supervisor of supplies had his hair disheveled, his crimson robe turned into beggar's attire, roughly draped over his body, arrows sticking out from his shoulders and back, and he was left with only one of the magic hammers.

    He led several dozen remaining soldiers, fighting desperately to block the South Western Army's General Nangong Shidi. Under his repeated urging, Su Protect galloped away in a southeastern direction on horseback.
