"Even if the day comes when my Western Zhou army arrives at Chaoge City, it will definitely cost a huge price to defeat Emperor Xin in the Heavenly Realm." Jiang Shang sighed.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang and Zhen Yuanzi fell into silence.
Nowadays, there is no Dao Ancestor Tianzun in the True Immortal Realm. Only Di Xin has the cultivation level of Tianzun. You can imagine how difficult it is to defeat Di Xin.
Ji Zhengse said: "Grand Master, you don't have to let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige. We will work step by step and sooner or later we will have the chance to destroy that Emperor Xin."
Jiang Shang cupped his fists and said, "What the king said is absolutely true. I made a mistake."
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Your Majesty, since it is not possible to defeat Emperor Xin overnight, we must find the remaining eleven witch tombs as soon as possible."
"In addition to the remains of Pangu buried in the witch tombs, there are more or less a large number of cultivation resources left, which can help the Western Zhou Dynasty's army to increase its overall strength."
Ji nodded slightly: "Whether we can obtain the remains of Pangu is a matter of life and death in the fairy world. Finding the remaining witch tombs must be a priority. From now on, I will give an order to send a powerful team of monks to search for witches in various parts of the fairy world.
tomb."
"Since fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi was responsible for building shaman tombs during the Emperor's era, it would be most appropriate for you to serve as the captain." Ji gave Zhen Yuanzi the title of captain by the way.
Zhen Yuanzi waved the fly whisk in his hand, cupped his fists and said, "I am willing to take on this responsibility!"
Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "I wonder if fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi knows who the monks of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian who were responsible for building the witch tomb were?"
At that time, Emperor Fuxi appointed a total of twelve Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and built a total of twelve shaman tombs in the True Immortal Realm. Zhen Yuanzi was one of them.
In addition to him, there are eleven monks, but we don’t know who they are yet.
Zhen Yuanzi said frankly: "It was a secret that the emperor ordered the construction of shaman tombs. Although Pindao was ordered by the emperor, he did not know who was responsible for the construction of the other eleven shaman tombs."
Ji frowned: "So, it won't be that easy to find the other eleven monks responsible for building the witch tomb?"
Zhen Yuanzi said in a deep voice: "Things are not as complicated as the king thought. Although I don't know who is responsible for building the witch tomb, I can probably guess who it is. At that time, the construction of the witch tomb was a very important thing to the emperor.
Given the emperor's character, he will definitely arrange for the monks he trusts to handle the most important matter personally."
"When the emperor ordered the construction of the shaman tomb, he had just ascended the throne and there were not many monks who trusted capable people. I had served the emperor since he was a child and knew the monks the emperor came into contact with very well. He was able to determine the identities of at least four or five of them."
Ji nodded and said: "That's very good. Let's leave the search for the witch tomb to you, fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi. Fellow Taoist can choose the manpower himself, and I will send at least five Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian to accompany you! If
If you need any help or help, just let me know."
Zhen Yuanzi said bluntly: "Just looking for the witch tomb does not require so many manpower. It only requires Pindao and Shen Daoyou. At most, Pindao only needs to ask the king for some teleportation orbs for use in critical moments."
"
"It's simple."
Ji immediately took out two treasure boxes from the storage ring. Each treasure box contained at least a dozen top-notch teleportation orbs, which were enough for Shen Lang and Zhen Yuanzi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Lang and Zhen Yuanzi thanked him immediately.
Ji asked: "When are you going to leave?"
"The search for the witch tomb is imminent. Pindao and fellow Daoist Shen will go out tomorrow. I hope the king will keep this matter secret and don't tell others for the time being." Zhen Yuanzi said seriously.
"Don't worry."
Ji nodded, and then took out a blue mirror with astonishing aura from the storage ring and handed it to Shen Lang.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, this object is called the 'Dongtian Son-Mother Realm'. It has two pieces, a mother and a son. Inject soul power into the mirror, and the mother and son mirrors can be connected to each other, making it easier for you and me to communicate. If you are looking for the witch tomb If you encounter trouble during the process, you can use this realm to contact me." Ji instructed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Lang took the treasured mirror and played with it for a while. He found that this thing could achieve the same function as video chat in the secular world, which was very refreshing.
After continuing to communicate for a while, Shen Lang and Zhen Yuanzi were ready to leave.
at this time.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
A huge bell rang through the sky, and the alarm bell in Jiuli City was suddenly rung. The heavy and crisp sound of the bell spread throughout Jiuli City in an instant.
"what happened?"
Shen Lang's expression changed drastically, and he had an extremely bad feeling in his heart.
"The warning bell in the imperial city is ringing, which means there is another big movement at the border."
Grand Master Jiang Shang frowned slightly, and Ji Ye looked solemn.
In recent years, the forces of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the forces of Shang Zhou often had fights and frictions on the border. The alarm bells in the imperial city were often sounded, and both Ji and Jiang Shang were used to it.
Soon, the door of the Imperial Palace was pushed open.
Nangong Shi, the general of Zhenxi, rushed into the hall, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the western border is in danger! The spies have come to report that Shang Zhou Taishi Wen Zhongzheng is leading an army to attack our Western Zhou border!"
"What!?"
As soon as these words came out, Ji and Jiang Shang's expressions suddenly changed.
In the past, border wars were small fights, and the leading commanders did not reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo. This time, it was Shang Zhou Taishi Wen Zhong who personally led the army to attack.
Ji obviously smelled a hint of gunpowder and asked: "General Nangong, how many enemy troops have come?"
Nangong Shi said impatiently: "Your Majesty, this time the opponent seems to be serious. Wen Zhong leads the Dongyi army with tens of billions of people. They are all elites! Except for Wen Zhong, almost all the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in Dongyi Immortal Domain are dispatched. , nearly twenty Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals participated!"
"this……"
When Shen Lang and Zhen Yuanzi heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Twenty Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian, what is this concept?
Could it be that this time the forces of Shang Zhou were preparing to fight to the death with the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty?
Shen Lang thought to himself, what a coincidence, right? He had just arrived in Jiuli Immortal Territory for a few days, and the army of Shang Zhou was already preparing to fight to the death with the Western Zhou royal family?
"Your Majesty, the border camp can no longer withstand it. I have ordered all the monks to retreat and rush to the imperial city through the teleportation array in the nearby city." Nangong Shi reported through gritted teeth.
Shang Zhou's army came out in full force, and the military strength on the western border was simply not enough to fill the gap between the enemy's teeth.
In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Nangong Shi had no choice but to abandon border territory and order a retreat.
Of course Ji also understood what he was thinking, and said with a solemn expression: "Grand Master, General Nangong, pass on this king's order to immediately activate the city defense formation, and order the city lords of the major cities in the Nine Li Immortal Region to assemble an army of monks and quickly teleport to the imperial city. gather."
"In addition, all monks in the imperial city are strictly prohibited from going out. Try to have all the monks from the Western Zhou Dynasty gather in the imperial city within three days!"
"yes!"
Nangong Shi and Jiang Shang took orders one after another and exited the hall.
