By mid-September, Dashang had occupied one-third of Xiqi's territory.
Fuhao ordered the attack to stop. Many of the more than two million troops were farmers who had just joined the army. They were on the battlefield for the first time and needed to adapt.
Another point is that the advance is too fast, leaving many hidden dangers. There are still Xiqi's remaining soldiers in the wilderness. If not solved, it is likely to affect the transportation of grain and grass.
The sad autumn wind howls between heaven and earth.
Qishan.
In a side hall, Ji Chang, whose hair was disheveled, had not slept for three days.
His eyes were red, the bags under his eyes were heavy, and he was extremely depressed.
In order to kill Ziyao and ensure that Ziyao would die under the curse, he spent twenty years of his life doing divination.
Obviously fully prepared, Xiqi worked together and only needed to use his deduction ability to block the first wave of offensive from the Yin Shang army to reverse the situation.
But what he didn't expect was that his deduction didn't work.
The hexagrams are so chaotic that it is impossible to tell what they mean, as if they have been abandoned by heaven and earth.
Without the ability to perform deductions, Yin Shang's first full-scale attack shattered Nangong Shi's so-called impenetrable defense circle.
All the fierce generals from all over the Yin and Shang Dynasties participated in the battle, and Xiqi suffered heavy casualties.
Ji Chang stared at the map, feeling extremely sad, not knowing why the deduction failed.
At this time, Taisi walked into the side hall.
When she saw Ji Chang's appearance, she couldn't help but feel distressed. She stepped forward and said softly:
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while."
The ground was full of scattered military aircraft battle reports, all bad news and no deductions. Even if Jiang Ziya used his troops like a god, he could not stop the powerful generals gathering from Dashang.
Ji Chang took a deep breath, sat in his seat, looked at Taisi, and asked:
"Where's Ji Kao?"
Taisi walked up behind him, rubbed his shoulders and back, and replied:
"Three days ago, the immortals took me to a foreign hospital for treatment of hysteria."
Ji Chang frowned when he heard this, "How long will it take to come back?"
Tai Si shook her head, "I don't know, the immortals didn't say anything."
Ji Chang didn't doubt too much, so he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep for a while.
But no matter how hard he slept, he couldn't fall asleep.
Because if the Yin Shang army cannot figure out a way to break the situation before the Yin Shang army has dealt with the hidden dangers in the rear, then the Yin Shang's second attack will continue until the moment Xiqi is captured.
"What did the civil and military officials say?"
Ji Chang asked.
He had locked himself in a side hall and tried divination for a long time. He had no military talent, otherwise he would not have delegated power to Jiang Ziya.
Taisi lowered her head and remained silent.
Ji Chang sighed and said:
"How many want to surrender?"
Taisi stopped massaging and replied:
"Those who wanted to surrender were killed by San Yisheng, and the remaining civil and military members swore to live and die with the Great Zhou."
Ji Chang nodded and said softly:
"We have no room for surrender. Everyone is now a sacrifice in the eyes of the Yin Shang royal family."
Fear flashed in Taisi's eyes.
She didn't want to be sacrificed, to be skinned and boned, or chopped into pieces.
But having come this far, there is no other way.
If Xiqi falls, she will commit suicide immediately.
Neither the couple knew that the person who explained the religion had already run away.
What they have left in Xiqi now are all clones.
Even Jiang Ziya also left, leaving only his clone to command the army.
In the current situation, unless all the immortals and gods on the side of the Yin and Shang dynasties get their tribulation energy into their heads, and then fight among themselves to a bloody head, the miracle will not happen.
Several cities built by Xiqi at a huge cost seemed like nothing in front of the Yin and Shang armies.
Even if the cultivator doesn't give up, the monster named Wu Wenhua can forcefully open the city gate with his fists.
Not to mention him charging with a weapon.
Who dares to imagine that a mortal confronts the cavalry and kills them all?
Moreover, Guangchengzi discovered that many mortals, including Wu Wenhua, had a strange Qi in their bodies, which greatly strengthened their bodies.
He wanted to capture a researcher alive, but just as he was about to take action, he was locked by a powerful divine thought.
Someone is watching over these strange mortals.
This incident strengthened Guangchengzi's determination to retreat.
You can't win, you really can't win.
The Second Saint of the West cannot escape now, even Haotian has given up on Xiqi long ago.
Chanjiao, who was alone and unable to support himself, was no match for the Yin Shang Dynasty.
So he ran away with Ji Kao, who was easier to control, and planned to go to Fangwai to establish a Great Zhou Immortal Kingdom.
This is the only way he can do it. If Chanjiao continues to stay in Xiqi, he will die.
Now there is a unanimous opinion within the Chanjiao that Ziyao is definitely not dead, but is using his plan to completely annihilate Xiqi.
How could a humane Da Zhu, who even a saint could only risk going to Chaos to find evil things to target, die under a mere nail-headed Seven Arrows book?
If you don't want to be torn apart by Yuan Feng like Fear Liu Sun, it's best to run away.
Guangchengzi has found Lu Ya and is going to see Donghuang Taiyi.
Taiyi holding the Chaos Clock is the help that everyone wants to win.
A group of clones of the disciples of the Chan Cult disappeared and listened to the conversation between Ji Chang and his wife. After discovering that Ji Chang had indeed lost the ability to deduce, they all left in silence.
The coward Xiqi will be treated by whomever he likes.
If it weren't for the Jade Void Talisman, why would they have to wade into troubled waters?
You can still think of ways to overcome the calamity when you are about to die. Staying in Xiqi is really just waiting to die.
Everyone's clones went outside Fang, only Taiyi Zhenren flew to Chuzhou.
He actually had a way to contact Nezha, but he didn't want to drag Nezha back to Chanjiao.
Nezha is his target, so he naturally doesn't want Nezha to be on the side with a low chance of winning.
As long as Nezha survives the killing calamity and eliminates his karmic debt, his safety in this sainthood calamity will be much improved.
It is true that great tribulations are complicated and confusing, but it is also common sense that people with too many karmic debts will be targeted by the tribulation energy.
Taiyi Zhenren planned to make Nezha stronger before leaving to ensure that this disciple could survive one thousand seven hundred killings.
Not long after, he arrived at the border of Chuzhou.
Chuzhou has long been penetrated by Nezha. With its own strength and the innate spiritual treasure in its hand, it can be said that no one can stop it.
It was late at night and the sky was overcast.
Taiyi Zhenren did not dare to move forward, otherwise he would be discovered by Jiejiao disciples or Kong Xuan, and the clone would be gone.
He sat cross-legged under a crooked-necked tree, closed his eyes and concentrated, calling for Nezha.
A moment later, Baiyao and Kong Xuan appeared above him, and both of them were surprised.
Taiyi Zhenren has a clone, so of course he cannot sense Kong Xuan, who is only one step away from the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
Baiyao turned into a breeze and wandered in the air, carrying the imperial list that could block all exploration, and said:
"Why did he come to Chuzhou?"
Kong Xuan stood in front of Zhenren Taiyi, holding his hands and looking up and down at Nezha's master, and said with the same confusion:
"After all, it's a clone that has been sacrificed, so why don't you just say you don't want it?"
Suddenly, a spiritual thought flew out from Master Taiyi's head and floated into the distance.
Kong Xuan separated a ray of spiritual consciousness and followed the spiritual thoughts of Master Taiyi, and then appeared on the sky. Then with a wave of his hand, the picture of spiritual consciousness appeared.
Baiyao flew to his side and wanted to know what Taiyi Zhenren's purpose was.
Following the rapid flight of that spiritual thought, just a few breaths later, it appeared above the camp of the Dashang army.
On the big banner, a character flutters in the wind, which is Zhang Guifang's army.
With only 80,000 men, Chuzhou was captured.
Zhang Guifang didn't even contribute much, it was all Nezha's military exploits.
Nezha is holding a sign representing Da Zhu, who dares to compete with him for the vanguard position?
It can be said that these 80,000 people came here eating and drinking.
Nezha performed meritorious service, so naturally their army also performed meritorious service.
Shen Nian searched for a while and found Nezha who was patrolling with a few soldiers.
Having never experienced military life, he completely regarded this Western Expedition as an autumn outing.
"Be careful, if the enemy attacks...what will they attack?"
Nezha was arrogant and about to show off the new words he had learned from Zhang Guifang, but he forgot how to say them.
He has no culture.
The soldier behind reminded:
"General, attack the camp."
"Yes! Attack the camp!" Nezha walked with a swagger, hanging a black bird card on his waist, but said with a very solemn expression: "Be careful when attacking the camp, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated."
The soldier twitched his lips slightly, thinking that with you here, who would dare to attack the camp?
At this time, Master Taiyi's spiritual thoughts disappeared directly.
"Huh?" Kong Xuan said with a smile: "The Jade Void Technique is well-deserved."
In the picture, Nezha was stunned, and then said to the soldiers behind him:
"My master is looking for me! You continue patrolling!"
He said without any scruples, completely unaware that he was not only beating Xiqi, but also the person behind Xiqi.
He found a random place, sat cross-legged on the ground, made seals with his hands and closed his eyes.
Then, Master Taiyi’s spiritual thoughts emerged in his heart.
Kong Xuan's spiritual consciousness penetrated into Nezha's mind without any trace.
After a while, Duobao's spiritual consciousness also came in.
Nezha is taught by him now, how could he not know what is happening here?
Baiyao, who was far away on the border of Chuzhou, saw them in a dreamland.
The fairy mist is misty, and Taiyi Zhenren stands with his hands behind his back, his back facing Nezha.
Nezha said with a smile:
"Master! Where have you been recently? I have contacted you several times!"
Master Taiyi looked like a master, without turning around, and said leisurely:
"I went to Chaos to collect herbs for my master."
Nezha suppressed a smile and said:
"Bragging! Master Duobao said you know the Kung Fu of a three-legged cat! It took you eight years to teach me how to become an immortal! What a waste of a good talent like mine!"
Master Taiyi's eyes widened, he turned around in disbelief and asked:
"Master Duobao?!"
Nezha respected his teacher. Seeing Master Taiyi turn around, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed as before, then stood up and put his hands on his hips and said:
"Yes! Master Duobao! You two should get to know each other!"
Master Taiyi sighed, but also said with relief:
"That's good, now that the catastrophe has changed, he can help you awaken the origin of the spirit beads, which can greatly improve your strength."
Nezha, who is completely childlike in nature, stepped forward and took Master Taiyi's arm, and said with a smile:
"Master, I will go to Jinguang Cave to pick you up after my apprentice finishes the battle. My apprentice is now the pioneer officer of the Western Expedition. You are a high official!"
"Also, my father died, but I have a new father, Da Zhu."
"It's so strange. I have two fathers and two masters. Why do I only have one mother?"
"By the way, Master, do you know where Jin Zha and Muzha are? Mom misses them so much, and the two unfilial sons don't know how to come back to visit Mom..."
Nezha talked endlessly, while Master Taiyi listened quietly without interrupting.
After Nezha finished speaking, he said softly:
"It's been a while since I last saw you. You've grown so big."
Nezha immediately patted his chest and said excitedly:
"Disciple is very strong now!"
Master Taiyi was silent for a moment and said with a smile:
"As a master, we are going to prove the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. We, the master and the disciple, will not see each other for a long time."
"Ah?" Nezha frowned and pouted, "My disciple also said that he would take you to Chaoge to enjoy the blessings."
Master Taiyi shook his head and said, "People who practice Taoism will naturally seek Taoism throughout their lives."
He pulled away Nezha's hand and said seriously:
"Nezha, remember, you must save your life. Kill whoever wants to kill you."
"Now you just have to follow the Yin Shang army in the war. I'm not sure I can keep you."
Although Nezha didn't understand, he nodded, feeling inexplicably sad.
Master Taiyi took a deep breath, rubbed Nezha's head, and said:
"There is a crooked-neck tree on the border of Chuzhou. I have left some magic treasures for you. There is a spiritual message on it that will call you. You can see it when you dig up the soil."
Finally, after taking a deep look at Nezha, he disappeared into the dream.
If Nezha died, he would have to go through the killing calamity by himself.
Chuzhou border.
Baiyao looked away, then lowered his head to look at the crooked neck tree.
I saw Master Taiyi taking out the Hot Wheel, the Gold Brick, the Yin-Yang Sword, and the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Shield, and then buried them all under the crooked neck tree. He cast a spiritual thought to keep them on the magic weapon, and then left quickly.
"This Master Taiyi teaches the friendship between disciples."
Baiyao said softly.
Kong Xuan glanced at the treasure buried under the tree and smiled:
"They're all quite useful."
Not long after, Nezha flew from the sky.
He landed directly under the crooked neck tree, dug up the soil, and was overjoyed to see the treasure in front of him.
"Good baby, good baby!"
Without any hesitation, he immediately began to refine the magic weapon and put his own soul mark on it.
After a while, he returned the same way as he was delighted with his new magic weapon.
Baiyao smiled at Kong Xuan and said:
"It seems that Chanjiao has run away."
Kong Xuan raised his eyebrows and immediately swept his consciousness in the direction of Xiqi.
Not long after, Duobao's consciousness also swept across Xiqi.
Neither of them concealed their intentions and sensed the other's position.
The next moment, the rich Duobao appeared beside them.
And Baiyao also transformed into a human body.
"Pindao thought that Chanjiao really couldn't figure it out."
Duobao discovered that all the disciples of the Chan Cult had fled, and only a dozen of Jiang Ziya's clones were in Xiqi.
In order to confirm the news, Kong Xuan contacted Xie Luo.
After some exchanges, he cut off the contact and said to Baiyao:
"Chanjiao did indeed run away and took Ji Chang's bloodline with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Ling and Zhao Gongming also appeared.
Zhao Gongming appeared from the direction of Xiqi and turned into Feng to investigate.
"All Chanjiao have fled, not a single one is left."
he laughed.
After a few people checked and found that Chanjiao had indeed run away, Baiyao closed his eyes and contacted Fu Hao.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill a few Chanjiao disciples during this Western Expedition, but the others were afraid that they would run away as soon as the battle started, so there was no need to continue playing with Xiqi.
Not long after, Fuhao received his order:
[The army will attack immediately, and all the rebel princes and nobles will be captured alive as possible as sacrifices]
