Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 158 The Battle of the Gods Begins
Jiang Ziya thought that Emperor Xin would come to his senses, but instead Emperor Xin sent people to arrest him. Jiang Ziya became disheartened and fled from Chaoge and headed west.

All the ministers in the court understood that the king had been bewitched by a demon, but the king did not believe it and could do nothing about it.

General Huang Feihu, King Wucheng, who grew up with Emperor Xin, tried to persuade him, but it was useless. Instead, it angered Daji, who then persuaded Emperor Xin to clean up the harem and kill Queen Jiang and Concubine Huang.

Concubine Huang is Huang Feihu's sister.

Huang Feihu didn't know that Queen Jiang and Concubine Huang had been replaced by Emperor Xin with substitute talismans. He thought that Emperor Xin was hopeless and led his men to rebel against Chaoge.

Queen Jiang's father, Marquis of Dongbo Jiang Hengchu, went to Chaoge to seek justice for his daughter, but was killed. His son Jiang Wenhuan was furious and proclaimed himself Marquis of Dongbo and started a rebellion.

However, Jiang Wenhuan was brave but not wise, and was blocked outside Youhun Pass and could not advance an inch.

With Jiang Wenhuan taking the lead, those ambitious princes were ready to make a move.

Seeing that the Shang Dynasty was surrounded by enemies on all sides, the saints were very satisfied. Everything was developing in the direction they had planned.

Since Tang, the Shang Dynasty has not respected heaven and earth, but only the Holy Father and the Holy Mother. This will not do. The Shang Dynasty must be destroyed and a puppet established among the human race. In this way, they can all share the human race's fortune.

Daji bewitched Emperor Xin and brought chaos to Chaoge, bringing chaos to the Shang Dynasty. Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was anxious and wanted to go back to get rid of the demon, but he was restrained by Yuan Futong and was unable to do anything else.

On this day, the phoenix was singing in Mount Qishan, and the rumor that the true leader of the human race was in Xiqi was spreading like wildfire.

The ministers reported that Ji Chang's eldest son Bo Yikao had a good reputation and might become a disaster, and that the true leader of the human race might very well be Bo Yikao.

Emperor Xin then sent someone to summon Bo Yikao to Chaoge.

Bo Yikao was a very filial man. He did not go because he was afraid that something might happen to his father. He also wanted to meet Daji, so he entrusted Xiqi to his second brother Ji Fa and went to Chaoge.

When Bo Yikao saw that the once gentle and virtuous Daji had become seductive and dissolute, his heart was completely broken.

When Daji saw how handsome Bo Yikao was, she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms but was rejected. In anger, she made Bo Yikao into human meat buns and gave them to Ji Chang to eat.

Ji Chang ate it reluctantly to prove that he was incompetent and couldn't even figure out that his son was in the bun.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Emperor Xin let him leave Chaoge.

But afterwards Emperor Xin was still worried, so he sent people to hunt him down. In the critical moment, Ji Chang was saved by his 100th son, Lei Zhenzi, who had mutated after eating the Wind and Thunder Fairy Apricot.

After returning to Xiqi, Ji Chang learned that Jiang Ziya was in Xiqi, so he went there in person to ask Jiang Ziya to assist Xiqi.

Jiang Ziya was moved by Ji Chang's sincerity and agreed.

At the same time, Jiang Ziya discovered the site for building the Conferred God Platform in Xiqi, and discovered the ghost of Bai Jian, a general of the former Emperor Xuanyuan, and bewitched Bai Jian to build the Conferred God Platform.

A year later, more rumors about Emperor Xin's incompetence and tyranny spread from Chaoge, and Xiqi raised the banner of anti-Shang. It was said that Emperor Xin was cruel and unjust, unworthy of being the emperor of the human race, and that the true God was in Xiqi.

As soon as the news spread, Emperor Xin ordered Beibohou Chonghouhu to send troops to attack Xiqi. Xiqi almost defeated Beibohou before the troops even set out.

Fortunately, Huang Feihu arrived. Huang Feihu had a good relationship with Chong Houhu's younger brother Chong Heihu, and wanted Chong Heihu to persuade Chong Houhu to rebel against Shang.

As a result, Chonghouhu was loyal and righteous and unwilling to do so, so he wanted to capture Chongheihu and send him to Chaoge.

Chong Heihu was an ambitious and cruel man. He betrayed Chong Houhu and killed him.

Chong Heihu succeeded Beibohou and agreed with Xiqi to attack Shang together. Ji Chang dreamed of Bo Yikao every night. His health was not good. Jiang Ziya showed Ji Chang Chonghouhu's head. Ji Chang was frightened by the bloody head and died soon after.

Ji Fa succeeded to the throne and was called King Wu. He appointed Jiang Ziya as his prime minister and officially launched a vigorous war against the Shang Dynasty.

When Shen Gongbao learned that Jiang Ziya was the prime minister in Xiqi and wanted to rebel against the Shang Dynasty, he deliberately opposed Jiang Ziya and ran to join the Shang Dynasty to prove that he was stronger than Jiang Ziya. Yuanshi was blind to choose Jiang Ziya.

Emperor Xin had heard of Shen Gongbao from the Holy Father a long time ago. He knew that Shen Gongbao had the appearance of a flying bear on his back and was the one destined to be deified. In the future, humanity would have to rely on Shen Gongbao for deification, so he was extremely important.

He then appointed Shen Gongbao as the state teacher and treated him well.

Shen Gongbao, who had never been valued before, was deeply moved.

When Emperor Xin learned that the princes were rebelling, he sent troops to attack Xiqi. As a result, many princes were persuaded by Xiqi and joined the anti-Shang army, causing Xiqi to become stronger and take the initiative to send troops to attack the Shang Dynasty.

The first battle of the Conferred Gods was fought at Jinji Ridge. As agreed, immortals should not attack mortals, and they did not gain the upper hand in the first battle. The Chan Sect sent Nezha, a third-generation disciple, to burn the Shang army with the Nine Dragons Fire Hood, causing countless deaths.

When Emperor Xin learned about this, he was furious. Shen Gongbao cursed the Chan sect for being shameless and said that he was looking for someone to deal with Nezha in order to repay the king's kindness.

Shen Gongbao is a demon, and most of the disciples of Jiejiao are demons. Shen Gongbao has a good relationship with many of the disciples of Jiejiao.

Nezha is a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. Taiyi Zhenren is so shameless that before, near Chentang Pass, it was clearly Nezha who did the wrong thing, but he turned around and slandered Shiji, bullied the weak and launched a sneak attack, and killed Shiji.

Taiyi Zhenren was the first generation disciple of the Chan sect, and Shiji was the second generation disciple.

Before, Jiejiao went to Chenjiao to ask for explanation, but Tongtian was tongue-tied and never mentioned Yuanshi, so everyone in Jiejiao was holding their breath.

After Jinji Ridge is Sishui Pass. Shen Gongbao found Yu Yuan, the Yiqixian, the second-generation disciple of Jiejiao near Sishui Pass. When Yu Yuan heard that Nezha, the disciple of Taiyi Zhenren, was out to harm people again, he readily agreed to go to Sishui Pass to deal with Nezha.

Yu Yuan is the disciple Tongtian accepted after he moved Jiejiao to Jin'ao Island. He is a second-generation disciple with an extraordinary background. He is in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian and is gifted with indestructible supernatural powers.

Yu Yuan and his apprentice Yu Hua rushed to Sishui Pass, just in time to see Nezha arrogantly challenging him at the foot of Sishui Pass, so Yu Yuan went out to fight.

Nezha is the boy spirit pearl of Nuwa who came down to earth. Naturally, he has powerful background and has reached the peak of Golden Immortal, but he is still far behind Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan summoned out the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword and injured Nezha with one move. Lei Zhenzi hurriedly flew out to save Nezha, but was also injured by the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.

The Blood-Transforming Divine Sword is extremely poisonous, enough to kill an immortal, and Yu Yuandu only has three antidotes.

There was a craze for recruiting disciples before, and all the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School accepted disciples. Among them, Jade Ding Zhenren did not accept Yang Jian, but accepted Hu Huan, who was the incarnation of Hu Yang, as his disciple, and taught him the Eight-Nine Profound Art and Seventy-Two Transformations, and the cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He was also in the Xiqi formation at this time.

At night, Hu Huan sneaked into Sishui Pass and disguised himself as Yu Hua, trying to trick the antidote from Yu Yuan.

As a result, before Shen Gongbao left, Hu Huan was discovered by Shen Gongbao, and Hu Huan was seriously injured by Yu Yuan and escaped.

Jiang Ziya had no choice but to go back to Yuxu Palace for help. Yuanshi asked the Immortal of the South Pole to ask Laozi for three Nine-Turn Detoxification Pills. Juliusun sent his disciple Tuxingsun down the mountain with the immortal rope to help.

Jiejiao only sent a second-generation disciple, and Chenjiao couldn't do anything too much to anger Jiejiao, and then directly engage in a decisive battle with Chenjiao. Chenjiao would be in a weak position.

The main reason is that their alliance is too fragile. If Jiejiao directly fights with Chenjiao, the Western Sect and Jinwu's disciples may not help Chenjiao.

The Chan Sect and the Guiyi Sect alone are still quite weak in the face of the Jie Sect with tens of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage.
