Jianging Ziya was seething in his heart, what makes me want to take action? To kill King Zhou like this would lead to repercussions, leaving me with no chance for reincarnation.
He sat calmly on his horse and said, "The Great King, do not rush to speak your mind. Today, the Great King has no power to turn things around. In order to save the last shred of reputation for the Yin State, please take your own life!"
The generals and soldiers of Zhou's troops all roared in unison: "Kill yourself!"
The sound spread far and wide, echoing "kill yourself" through the valleys and rivers.
King Zhou was arrogant, standing straight: "You daren't kill me. Each of you is plotting. I know what you these cultivators are thinking, afraid to dirty your hands, afraid to affect your fortune, am I right?"
His soul was severely injured by the divine whip.
Normally, without precautions, a cloud like Yunxiao could be struck and sent flying off its horse, much less a mortal like Zhou.
He had no strength to wield the Slaying Witch Sword now, and was holding on by the last shred of his willpower.
He plunged the sword into the muddy ground soaked in blood and shouted loudly, "Who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me?!"
A clear and indifferent voice behind him said, "I dare to kill you."
Today, Jianghou did not wear the Taoist robe, but instead dressed in a blue palace dress. Her hair was simply tied into a bun. The mild-mannered face of the past has been reduced to decisive one. Her hand is very steady. She raised her hand and without hesitation, slashed at Zhou Wang's neck with one sword.
In the last moment, King Zhou recognized the appearance of the person behind him. After so many years of marriage, they were too familiar with each other.
Although his eyes were already blurred by blood, he miraculously managed to see the appearance of Jianghou at this moment. From her eyes, he obtained a lot of information. Originally, he still had some remaining strength to prepare to strike again, but he completely gave up resistance.
Fine, we have been married, give my head to you.
With a heavy "thud," King Zhou's human fortune was completely ineffective against Jianghou. His large head flew up high, and Jianghou reached out with her jade-like hands, grasping the head.
She first looked at Jiang Ziya, who nodded slightly. Then, she bowed in the direction of the Azure Dragon Jade Palace on the Eastern Sea Golden Turtle Island.
"Master, my student is ashamed of his inability to live up to your teachings. If there is a next life, I will repay your kindness."
Jianghou acted resolutely and swiftly, slicing her own throat with the sword.
Her body fell onto Zhou Wang's decapitated body, still holding his head. She seemed to feel the warm blood flowing from her wife's neck, and Zhou Wang finally closed his eyes.
Although they had many conflicts and fought each other throughout their lives, in the end, they still died together.
There may be grievances and resentment, but there is also a mutual understanding.
Jiang Ziya sighed heavily and ordered his subordinates, "Do not desecrate their bodies. Burial them together instead."
No one would refuse this order; after all, the people are already dead.
Wuji led the people to clean up the bodies. Today, too many generals from Zhou's army have died, and it is just a matter of adding two more coffins to the count.
The Slaying Witch Sword was taken by Jiang Ziya, but it was stolen the next day. Who did it? No one knows.
Wuji, a disciple of Jiang Ziya, claimed that he had seen the Fairy of Colorful Clouds sneak back into Zhou's camp and then disappeared.
Ah, just lose it. Old Jiang cannot do anything about it at this time. There is no time to look for this sword. When turmoil arises in the mortal world again, this sword will definitely reappear.
Taixi Zhenren gathered some items used by the son of Lei during his lifetime, floating away. He was not particularly disappointed; with the mission of supporting Zhou and destroying Zhou officially completed, the next thing was to deify. He estimated that he would soon see Lei's son again.
Luoyi was leveled by the battle between Luo Hu and Zenji. Due to the large amount of magic energy it contained, this land needed professional help to repair. The ash people were busy at the moment, so they had no time for it. Zhou prepared to hold a conference of all the feudal lords in their own Xīqí City, according to ancient customs, to elect a new ruler for all of the land.
This ancient ritual, after two decades of chaos, had been completely eroded away. The authority of the "king of the world" was also greatly diminished. In fact, the so-called "feudal lords of the world" were only Han and Qi two countries left.
Jiang Ziya thought for a moment and added a few more names.
Wu Geng, Zhou Wang's son, had been taken to the north of the Yellow River by ministers early on. Now he still has a small territory, but most of the forces of Yinshang have been lost, and it can be easily controlled with a single dispatch.
Including the western region of Zhou, the southern region of Han, the eastern region of Qi, and some feudal lords hiding in ravines, a total of seventeen groups of eight feudal lords were called together. With this gathering, the alliance would be complete.
Jiang Ziya led the army back to the capital and headed back to court, while Ji Danyan sent messengers to both Han and Qi to discuss the matter of the alliance.
The southern light fire of Jin Feng's Mingyi did not meet the requirements of Nvwa. The firepower was still insufficient, and the southern light fire of Yuan Feng's Mingyi must be used.
Deng ChanYu went to the volcano of eternal life, where Yuan Feng had been eating and sleeping well, and no amount of calling could wake him up. She had to return to the Southern Capital. Daji had successfully broken through the bottleneck, achieving the status of a xuanxian (Transcendent Immortal), and also returned with her.
Luo Hu's resuscitation led to a rapid increase in magic energy in the world of chaos, which then caused a lot of problems.
Various karmic entanglements, one part of the cause, magnified by the magic energy, gave rise to ten parts of the fruit.
One of the main reasons for their return to the Southern Capital was the death of Huang Feihu.
The news of Zhou Wang's death had been spread to the Southern Capital. It was said that Zhou Wang and Jianghou had died together, and Huang Feihu's younger sister Huang Fei also committed suicide. In her will, her only request was to be buried together with Zhou Wang, Jianghou, and herself.
The eldest son died, and his sister also died. What does this have to do with Huang Feihu? In reality, there is no direct relationship. Huang Feihu was assassinated by the loyalists of Yinshang while he was still alive. Just before his death, there were fierce winds that broke the flagstaff and cracks in the wheels of his carriage. Nevertheless, this determined Wucheng Wang still chose to inspect the military camp, ultimately being wounded by a crossbow bolt and passing away that same night.
"Who do you think did this?" Deng ChanYu asked Daji.
People who die naturally will not be deified, and the timing of Huang Feihu's death is particularly convenient. It seems like they are eager to get on the list of gods. She has to think more about it.
Daji quietly took out the "Book of Life and Death" and flipped through it: "Wucheng Wang's lifespan has not yet arrived, and it is indeed a premature death."
Deng ChanYu gently sighed, "I hope that when we meet next time, it's not as enemies."
The short memory of the mortal world, which spans only several decades, was fused with the long-lasting memory of the deity. The latter, undoubtedly, would emerge victorious in this fusion.
In the future, the Emperor of Mount Tai will look at this memory of Huang Feihu with a mere smile. To expect him to show him any favor is unrealistic.
Huang Feihu, as the Emperor of Mount Tai, had a lot of overlap with the business of Tasty Empress's position as the Lord of Pixie Realm. After being deified, Huang Laozi could directly take office, while Tasty Empress still needed to do a lot of work before she could officially become the Lord of Pixie Realm. From a temporal perspective, Tasty Empress would be several decades behind. When she took office, Huang Feihu had already established a strong foundation.
Daji, however, didn't seem to care about these matters: "Considering today's fate, I'll give him three inches in the future."
She also has the support of Lady Pingxin and the entire afterlife, so she is not afraid of the Emperor of Mount Tai.
