Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

Chapter 248 Heaven is selfless, Hunyuan Saint saves Jiang Ziya, Yang Erlang falls into the Soul-Falling Formation

It is said that Shen Gongbao, the state teacher of Chaoge, invited ten celestial monarchs from Bailu Island of Jiejiao. Ten large battle arrays were set up outside Xiqi City. He wanted to fight with Xiqi and defeat Jiang Ziya, so as to show Jiejiao's ability.

Unexpectedly, Yao Tianjun, one of the Ten Heavenly Lords, had another secret method that could take Jiang Ziya's life without any soldiers.

The state teacher Shen Gongbao readily agreed to it, and thus Yao Tianjun built an altar in his own soul-falling formation, stepped on the seven stars, and walked on the Tiangang, in an attempt to worship Jiang Ziya to death.

Yao Tianjun worshipped for twenty-one days, and it really had a miraculous effect. Jiang Ziya's two souls and six spirits all left his body and came to the high platform of the Soul-Falling Formation, inside the body of the Jiang Ziya grass man.

As long as the last soul arrives, we can burn the straw man and make Jiang Ziya disappear from the world.

What Yao Tianjun didn't know was that Jiang Ziya was really the last soul and spirit that had left his body. With the last bit of true spirit left, he first floated towards the Conferred God Platform. He was pushed out by the Qingfu God Bai Jian.

The reason for this is probably because Jiang Ziya was not originally on the Conferred God List. Otherwise, if all the lonely ghosts were on the Conferred God List, it would be a mess. Moreover, this Jiang Ziya was supposed to have a life of wealth and honor in the human world. The God of Fortune, Bai Jian, saw this and did not dare to take Jiang Ziya's lonely soul.

With the last bit of memory, Jiang Ziya remembered the word "Kunlun", so he flew towards Kunlun Mountain.

The Primordial Saint Lin Zhu had already calculated the direction from which Jiang Ziya's soul would fly, so he rode on the back of the iron-eating beast and waited in mid-air.

When I saw a soul floating towards me, I felt so many emotions in my heart.

"This Yuanshi Tianzun, knowing full well that his disciple Jiang Ziya was of low realm and shallow cultivation, still sent this Jiang Ziya down the mountain to assist King Wu Bo Yikao in revitalizing Zhou and attacking Shang."

"Jiang Ziya, however, cannot bear such a heavy karma! Moreover, Jiang Ziya first served as an official in the Shang Dynasty, and then froze to death 100,000 mortal soldiers and horses in Qishan, so he had seven deaths and three disasters, and he will never be a god in his life."

Seeing Jiang Ziya floating towards him miserably, Lin Zhu did not care to sigh. He took out the sheep-fat jade bottle and shouted loudly,
"If Jiang Ziya doesn't enter the bottle, when will he?"

Jiang Ziya's soul was very smart. After a slight hesitation, he jumped into the bottle with a whoosh.

It turned out that after Lin Zhu executed the Green Bull Monster, he thought that Laozi would come to take back the treasure, but he didn't expect that Laozi and his disciple Xuandu hadn't noticed that the Green Bull Monster had escaped.

Lin Zhu could only temporarily keep the two treasures, the Diamond Cutter and the Jade Purifying Bottle. Unexpectedly, they were really put to use today.

……

In Xiqi City, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a military doctor had already checked Prime Minister Jiang's breathing and pulse and found that Jiang Ziya had stopped breathing and his soul had flown away.

The people in the prime minister's residence, especially Jiang Ziya's family, cried when they heard this. The civil and military officials in Xiqi also shed tears secretly.

Princess Longji, don't believe this? She has clearly sensed that her master Lin Zhu is in this nearby space.

Would he just watch Jiang Ziya die without taking any action?

Below the saints, we are all ants. Even if we go to the underworld, rescuing Jiang Ziya's soul is just a matter of a flash of thought.

Thinking of this, Princess Longji reached out her hand and touched Jiang Ziya's chest. She found that there was still a ball of heat in Jiang Ziya's chest.

This means that Jiang Ziya still has a chance to come back to life. So, he said to the civil and military officials of Xiqi:
"Don't be sad, everyone. Prime Minister Jiang's body is still warm, which means there is still a chance that he will wake up."

"Besides, the Imperial Master Zhulin will also be returning. We in Xiqi will surely be able to rescue the Prime Minister and defeat the army of Chaoge."

Just as Long Ji said this, he suddenly heard Lin Zhu's voice in the air.

"The little girl is really eloquent. Fortunately, I came back at the right time and was able to capture Prime Minister Jiang's soul."

As soon as the words fell, the Hunyuan Saint Lin Zhu, now the Xiqi State Master, walked into the Xiangfu.

All the civil and military officials immediately felt more confident and came forward to pay their respects.

Lin Zhu waved his hand and said to the civil and military officials:
"I already know everything that happened in Xiqi City. You all can go away. We will discuss the matter in Yin'an Palace tomorrow." "Yang Jian, Long Ji, stay. I have something to tell you."

"Yes, I will follow the orders of the Imperial Master."

After all the civil and military officials left, Lin Zhu spoke:
"Prime Minister Jiang is in such a mess because of the Chaoge Soul-Falling Formation Master, Yao Tianjunbin, who is secretly causing trouble."

"Relying on the side door technique, Prime Minister Jiang's three souls and seven spirits were taken away. Therefore, Prime Minister Jiang fell into a deep sleep and never woke up."

"So, tonight at midnight, Long Ji, Yang Jian, the two of you will sneak into the Soul-Falling Formation and go and rescue Jiang Zixiang's two souls and six spirits."

At this time, there were only Lin Zhu, Long Ji, and Yang Jian in the prime minister's residence. Yang Jian bowed respectfully and asked:
"Uncle Master, may I ask how I, a dull disciple, can find Prime Minister Jiang and his remaining soul?"

"Oh, I forgot," Lin Zhu patted his forehead lightly.

"In the Soul Falling Formation, there is a newly built high platform. There is a straw man on the platform, and the remaining soul of Prime Minister Jiang is inside it. You just need to bring the straw man back."

"In the Soul-Falling Formation, Yao Bin must be under strict guard. Yang Jian, you are responsible for grabbing the grass. Long Ji, you set up an illusion formation to slightly hinder Yao Bin."

"Yes, uncle."

"Yes, Master."

Long Ji and Yang Jian then happily went to prepare.

……

In Chaoge, in the Soul-Falling Formation, Yao Tianjun, with disheveled hair and wearing Taoist robes, held the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand and chanted a spell.

Then, he pointed his sword diagonally into the air and shouted anxiously:

"Jiang Ziya, why don't you return to your divine position as soon as possible? When will you return?"

After the shout, the only remaining soul-calling lamp and spirit-urging lamp above the straw man's head and under his feet seemed to dim.

However, it did not go out. The other oil lamps had been out for a long time.

Obviously, Jiang Ziya was still holding on to his last breath. It was almost midnight, and even if it was just another day, Jiang Ziya should have died long ago.

How could Yao Tianjun not be anxious? He knew that there was a master who was against him and was fighting for Jiang Ziya's soul. After several calculations, he still couldn't figure out who was against him.

Yao Tianjun had no choice but to mobilize his magical powers and try to forcibly pull Jiang Ziya's remaining soul over.

However, with Yao Tianjun's magic power, how could he be stronger than Lin Zhu, the saint of Jiejiao. Just when Yao Tianjun and Lin Zhu were secretly competing with each other.

Yang Jian and Long Ji were familiar with the route and came to the platform of the Soul Falling Formation. Of course, Yang Jian turned into a ball of black mist, enveloping Long Ji and himself.

As both were disciples of Xuanmen, they looked down and saw Yao Tianjun performing the ritual and they understood everything.

No wonder our prime minister suddenly fell ill and almost lost his life.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Long Ji set up a magic array silently. This magic array was different from other arrays. It was integrated into the Soul-Falling Array and would disappear at dawn.
