I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Father!"

The following morning, in the Xiqi royal palace, Ji Fa, with tears in his eyes, knelt heavily before Ji Chang.

Ji Chang stared at him with lifeless eyes, his voice hoarse: "Your elder brother is dead!"

Ji Fa was shocked: "How could this be? Who killed my elder brother?"

“Someone poisoned the manor. Everyone in the manor except me is dead, including your eldest brother.”

Ji Chang glanced at Shen Gongbao, who had escorted him back, out of the corner of his eye, and felt waves of hatred churning in his heart.

He wasn't stupid, so naturally he wouldn't believe Shen Gongbao's words when he happened to appear in front of him.

Moreover, if King Zhou wanted to kill Ji Fa and his son, he should have done so when the news of Ji Fa's death was revealed.

Furthermore, Ji Fa could have been killed when he declared himself King Wu, but he didn't take action at these two crucial moments. Instead, he only took action against them after Chaoge was attacked.

Is this reasonable?

Are you abandoning logic?
But for the sake of the Ji family's future and to prevent the Xiqi foundation from falling into the hands of others, he could only tacitly admit or even publicly state that everything was done by King Zhou, swallowing his deep hatred and bitter consequences.

Perhaps, he will never have the chance to avenge himself.

After all, Shen Gongbao was the second son's most trusted advisor. To put it bluntly, Xiqi was currently relying on him for support. Would he dare to dig his own grave?
"It's King Zhou, it must be King Zhou!"

Ji Fa, filled with righteous indignation, his eyes reddened, said through gritted teeth, "Chaoge was surrounded by the Three Immortals with their formation, causing them to lose all face."

He was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it, so he thought of his father and elder brother.

Coupled with new grudges and old hatreds, and fearing being labeled as cruel and heartless, he committed this heinous act.

Ji Chang: "..."

“King Wu can issue a proclamation condemning King Zhou’s actions and calling for revenge; as the eldest brother is like a father, the hatred for killing one’s brother is irreconcilable, and the world will understand and support your struggle,” Shen Gongbao suggested.

Ji Fa remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Father, why don't you write this revenge article? Let's use pen and ink as weapons, and characters as soldiers, to completely tear off King Zhou's hypocritical mask!"

"vomit……"

Upon hearing this request, Ji Chang's stomach suddenly spasmed, and he began to dry heave uncontrollably.

Ji Fa quickly grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Father, what's wrong? Did you also eat poison?"

"No, I just caught a cold during the flight."

Ji Changshi, unwilling to look at Ji Fa's handsome face any longer, lowered his head and said, "Speaking of which, given my current state, I don't have the energy to write anything. Therefore, you should write this manifesto of great revenge."

Ji Fa remained silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, I'll take Father to rest..."

at the same time.

Inside Chaoge City.

Upon receiving news of the poisoning, Uncle Nine rushed to Boyi Kao's residence. Seeing Boyi Kao, who had been poisoned to death, along with three servants and more than ten imperial guards, his brows gradually furrowed.

"They were all given a proper burial."

After a long while, Uncle Nine slowly exhaled and turned to Wu Ji, who was standing beside him, and said.

"Yes, sir." Wu Ji bowed and immediately led his subordinates into action.

Uncle Jiu took one last look at Boyi Kao's body, then quietly left and went straight to the Fengshen Platform located on Lutai.

On the Investiture of the Gods platform, Bai Jian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and bowed: "Greetings, King of Men."

Uncle Nine waved his hand and asked, "Is Boyi Kao's soul on the Conferred God Platform?"

Bai Jian knew that Master Jiang had a close relationship with the King of Men and therefore held him in high esteem. So he didn't emphasize any rules or make things difficult for him. He waved the soul-summoning banner and brought Boyi Kao's soul out of the Investiture of the Gods...

"Your Majesty." Boyi Kao immediately grasped the situation and bowed with a complicated expression.

Uncle Nine bluntly asked, "No need for formalities. Who did it?"

Bo Yikao silently lowered his arms and sighed, "Shen Gongbao!"

"Only he would dare to do this." Uncle Nine was not surprised by the result; he had only come to confirm it.

Bo Yikao said, "I had no choice at the time. He threatened me that if I didn't drink the poisoned wine, it would be fed to my father."

"Don't worry, this guy will definitely pay the price; besides, Jiang Ziya won't treat you unfairly either," Uncle Jiu promised.

Bo Yikao nodded heavily and knelt down, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."

"Waiting for good news, until we meet again."

Uncle Nine responded succinctly, then flew directly back to the Longevity Palace, took out his communicator, and contacted Qin Yao, who was far away in Qishan, revealing all the information he had gathered.

"Ji Fa, truly a hero of his time!" After listening silently, Qin Yao looked up at the Xiqi Palace and exclaimed sincerely.

He simply didn't believe that Ji Fa hadn't instructed him to do this.

After all, for Shen Gongbao, Ji Fa is currently his most valuable bargaining chip, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to do anything that would alienate Ji Fa...

"Be careful. Ji Fa is doing this for more than just the greater good," Uncle Nine warned.

"I see……"

Qin Yao responded softly, then looked up and ordered, "Yang Jian, Nezha, go into the city and scout out what's going on. Ji Fa can't possibly be doing nothing."

"Yes, sir!" The two men clasped their hands in obeisance and took to the air.

Inside the royal palace.

Ji Fa offered sacrifices to the heavens once more, holding a proclamation of great revenge that had just been spread throughout the city, and read it aloud to Haotian word by word.

Thanks to the combined influence of the incense offerings and his status as the emperor, the lofty Jade Emperor heard the proclamation and was quite satisfied with the current situation.

As the Heavenly Emperor, strongly supporting a rebel will inevitably attract gossip and even criticism.

But now Ji Fa is no longer a rebel; he is a righteous avenger, and seeking revenge for his blood relatives is the most righteous cause.

"If a ruler treats his subjects like dirt, then his subjects will treat his ruler like an enemy." Haotian chuckled silently to himself.

He then decided to give Ji Fa some rewards, at least to make him feel that he had been ordained by fate.

"Someone come here!"

"Your Majesty." A silver-armored general appeared at the entrance of Lingxiao Palace and knelt down to respond.

"Summon the Great Emperor of the West, the Great Emperor of the Central Heaven, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Extreme, the Great Emperor of the Southern Extreme, and the Great Emperor of the Earthly Branches of Heaven to an audience," Haotian commanded.

The silver-armored general's eyelids twitched, but he dared not ask any further questions: "I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

world.

On Mount Qi.

Yang Jian and Nezha flew back side by side and landed together in front of Qin Yao.

"Have you found out anything?" Qin Yao asked before they could even greet him.

Yang Jian took out a notice and handed it to Qin Yao with both hands: "This is a proclamation written by Ji Fa. Please take a look, my lord."

Qin Yao took the notice, glanced at it, and couldn't help but chuckle: "List the ten major crimes of King Zhou?"

Yang Jian coldly replied, "These are nothing but slanderous words."

King Zhou was his adoptive father, and had been incredibly kind to him, so he naturally couldn't stand this denunciation.

Qin Yao smiled and nodded, reading aloud the entries:
"Greedy, lustful, drunken, heartless, abusing sycophants, listening to women's words, harming the loyal and good, engaging in extravagant construction projects, refusing to listen to advice and covering up mistakes, disrespecting Heaven... Putting aside everything else, this last one is certainly true." Yang Jian said, "The Human King is the ruler of the human realm, and the Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the heavenly realm. If Heaven does not respect the King, why should the King respect Heaven?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Nezha suddenly said, "Since the Human King and the Heavenly Emperor have the same rank, and Ji Fa calls himself the Son of Heaven, then wouldn't Ji Fa become the nephew of the Human King?"

“He doesn’t deserve it!” Yang Jian said without hesitation.

Nezha chuckled to himself.

Yang Erge had become a staunch supporter of the Yin Shang dynasty, and he would not tolerate any disgrace to this prestigious position.

Qin Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I will teach you a magic formation. Practice it diligently here. The day the formation is complete will be the day we break the Frost Formation and kill Yuan Jiao..."

That night.

Just as Yang Jian and the others were practicing their formation on the summit of Mount Qi, six enormous pillars of light suddenly fell from the sky above the Xiqi Royal Palace. Within each pillar, a phantom of a divine emperor flew down and remained motionless on the roof of a palace room.

Ji Fa, Shen Gongbao, the various Heavenly Lords, and the royal family members all appeared to watch, eventually kneeling down in a massive mass.

"Ji Fa, do you know who I am?" asked the golden-robed Heavenly Emperor from within the central pillar of light.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ji Fa immediately kowtowed and said, "Your subject pays respects to Father God."

Haotian smiled and asked the two emperors, "What do you all think of my adopted son?"

"A dragon among men."

"Exceptionally talented."

"Unlimited potential..."

Out of respect for Haotian, the five emperors all praised him.

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and asked further, "Would it be disgraceful for him to acknowledge you all as his teachers?"

The five emperors looked at each other and finally said in unison, "Your Majesty is too kind."

On the ground, Ji Fa was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and repeatedly kowtowed towards the direction of the emperors: "Disciple Ji Fa greets the five masters!"

His voice trembled as he said this.

Although he was still unaware of the identities of the other five, those who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Emperor were certainly not ordinary immortals.
"Do you know who we are?" the emperor, wearing a towering crown and a crimson robe, asked with a smile, exuding a scholarly and dignified air.

Ji Fa said, "This disciple does not know, but I imagine he must be a supreme immortal."

The Five Emperors laughed heartily, and the Emperor with the Heavenly Crown introduced them:

"I am the Ziwei Emperor, the one beside me is the Taiji Emperor, and the one next to me is the Miaoyan Emperor;

The first person to your father's right is the Antarctic Emperor, and the second is the Empress Houtu. We, along with your father, constitute the Six Emperors of this world.

Ji Fa smiled broadly and said, "This disciple understands."

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Looking at the world, who can compare with him in terms of backing and background?

With the Six Emperors standing behind him, acting on the mandate of Heaven, who was standing behind King Zhou?
Wen Zhong?
Even the Jie Sect stood against King Zhou, so what was Wen Zhong compared to them?
Just as he was overjoyed, the surprises Haotian brought him were not yet over.

The Great Celestial Venerable simply flipped his hand and produced three scrolls of immortal scriptures, which he then presented to Ji Fa out of thin air.

"My son, these three immortal scriptures are the Heaven and Earth Heart Method, the Thirty-Six Forms of the Heavenly Gang, and the Seventy-Two Forms of the Earthly Fiends. They complement each other and their divine power is amplified. If you can comprehend these three immortal scriptures, then you can become the emperor of this mortal world."

"emperor?"

Ji Fa accepted the immortal scripture with trembling fingers, but his eyes were particularly bright.

Haotian smiled slightly: "That's right, Emperor! I won't go into the details of how much expectation and meaning it contains; I believe you can definitely understand it."

How could Ji Fa not understand?
The character "皇" (huang) subconsciously evokes images of the Three Sovereigns, while the character "帝" (di) immediately brings to mind the Five Emperors.

Combining "emperor" and "emperor" implies that one's virtue surpasses that of the Three Sovereigns and the achievements of the Five Emperors.
However, in his frenzied excitement, he failed to realize how the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would view him as the Son of Heaven and what his status would be among the human race if they learned of his name.

At this moment, he was filled with endless ambition and expectation, wishing he could immediately destroy the Yin Shang dynasty and be crowned emperor of the human world!

On Mount Qi.

Yang Jian watched this scene with a gloomy expression, and a sense of worry welled up in his heart.

It was already difficult enough that the Jade Emperor was backing Ji Fa, but now the entire Six Emperors have become Ji Fa's supporters. One can imagine how much assistance he will receive later.

Qin Yao was also looking at Liu Yu, but he wasn't particularly surprised by the situation.

The reason is nothing more than destiny.

To put it simply, in the original story of Investiture of the Gods, Ji Fa was a disciple of the Six Emperors.

The only difference now is the beginning and the process, but the outcome has returned to the "general trend".

Of course, he also has his bottom line.

This bottom line is the axe that opens the heavens.

If Haotian were to act impulsively and bestow the Heaven-Opening Axe upon Ji Fa as a weapon, then he would truly be furious!
At this moment, Haotian, having finished transmitting the scriptures, turned and glanced at Qishan, then left with the Five Emperors, disappearing into the dark night.

Ji Fa, his heart surging with heroic ambition, turned his head with a smile and said, "May Heaven bless Xiqi!"

Shen Gongbao nodded heavily, feeling much more confident about his unfinished mission: "The Western Zhou replacing the Shang was the will of Heaven."

The other Heavenly Lords looked at each other, and it was clear that their spirits and energy were different.

This is the effect brought about by the Six Emperors. When this effect falls on the mortal world, Ji Fa will no longer have any moral dilemmas in launching his military campaign against Shang.

Or rather, in people's minds, Ji Fa was the righteous king chosen by the Heavenly Emperor, and his generals and soldiers were the righteous royal army...

However, not everyone thinks that way.

For example, the Black Tu tribe, a nomadic force in the north, had a leader named Black Tu Wolf Lord Wanmu Duan. After hearing Ji Fa recount King Zhou's ten major crimes and the legends about the Six Imperial Disciples, the tribe's first reaction was that Ji Fa was really good at making things up. Then he realized that there was something to profit from it.

If he could obtain permission from King Zhou to attack Xiqi, then whatever he conquered would be his own.

In addition, they could also receive extra rewards from King Zhou, making it an extremely profitable venture.

Based on this, he quickly summoned his subordinates, formed an envoy group, and ordered them to rush to Chaoge as soon as possible to volunteer for the war on his behalf.

at the same time.

The news also caused unrest in Chaoge City. Every general who had a voice in the court assembly volunteered to fight, patting their chests and declaring that they would teach Xiqi a lesson.

Or rather, revenge!
However, Uncle Nine remained calm and composed regarding the current situation.

The reason is not hard to understand: if someone's sore spot is touched, they will definitely jump up and down, becoming angry and embarrassed.

But of all the crimes that Ji Fa listed for King Zhou, he only committed the last one—not surrendering to Ji Fa, the emperor. So what was there to be angry about?
Moreover, Qin Yao is already at the front lines.

If a large army is needed to invade, Qin Yao will naturally ask him to mobilize troops; he doesn't need to worry about it.

This is why Uncle Jiu was able to stabilize public sentiment in the court and also calm public opinion in Chaoge.

This leads to the vast majority of people treating the ten sins as mere entertainment, with virtually no one taking them seriously.

a few days later.

When the Heitu delegation arrived in the capital and inquired about relevant information on the streets, they found the indifferent attitude of the people of Chaoge strange.

Fortunately, someone quickly answered their question, and the other person's exact words were:
If a dog barks at you twice, do you expect it to bark back in the same way? (End of Chapter)
