Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 337 Jiang Ziya's reputation is ruined, and Emperor Xin unleashes a killing spree in the Nine Palaces.

Daji embraced her two younger sisters and spoke with tears streaming down her face.

"Don't worry, it was our grandmaster who promised that you would go to Qinglian Island to cultivate with the Queen Mother of the West. It wasn't something I, your sister, risked my life for."

Upon hearing Daji's words, the nine-headed pheasant spirit was utterly bewildered. After all, in her understanding, Zhen Yuanzi was the master of the three sisters, while Hongjun Daozu was their grandmaster.

So after a long pause, she finally spoke, "Sister, who told us to go to Qinglian Island?"

Daji knew that the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit must have misunderstood, so she immediately said, "The ancestor you mentioned, sister, is the Azure Lotus Saint of Azure Lotus Island."

"Because after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, I will become a disciple of the Sage of Shangqing and a direct disciple of the Daoist sect."

Daji's words inevitably pleased the Nine-Headed Pheasant. His face was full of joy for Daji.

However, the Jade Pipa Spirit looked worried and cautiously said, "Sister, the Daoist sect won't be like the Chan Sect..."

Before the Jade Pipa Spirit could finish speaking, Daji interrupted her. However, she didn't explain anything, but instead took out the Nine-Rank Merit Lotus.

"This is a protective magic treasure that my master gave to my sister. With this ninth-grade merit lotus in hand, I ask you, which cultivator would dare to kill my sister?"

The three sisters nominally joined the Chan Sect, but they didn't even receive a single elixir. They were given a ninth-grade golden lotus of merit before even formally joining the Daoist sect.

The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb certainly knew the immense power of the Golden Lotus of Merit. Therefore, they were no longer worried about Daji.

Seeing that her two younger sisters were finally relieved, Daji raised her right palm and directly opened the spatial gate leading to Qinglian Island.

Seeing her two younger sisters finally safely reach Qinglian Island, Daji's worries were completely relieved.

Meanwhile, Song Yiren and his entire family had been taken into custody by E Lai and his men. However, their purpose wasn't to kill him, but rather to make them witness firsthand how Jiang Ziya abandoned them.

Of course, what happened after Jiang Ziya escaped with his wife was also a story. E'lai didn't let Song Yiren's family see it, and he himself didn't dare to listen to a single word.

In the end, E'lai didn't make things difficult for Song Yiren's family; he simply released them all. However, he had one condition: they had to tell everyone they knew about Jiang Ziya's actions.

Song Yiren had no objection to this. After all, everyone had witnessed how good he was to Jiang Ziya.

Not only did Song Yiren allow Jiang Ziya to eat and live in his home for free, but when Jiang Ziya's wife wanted him to start a business, Song Yiren also provided him with conveniences. He even gave him the shop to use for free.

In the end, Jiang Ziya, for the sake of his own life, actually abandoned his entire family and ran away with his wife.

If Jiang Ziya were an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter, but he was an immortal who had studied Taoism on Wanshou Mountain for forty years.

With a mere gesture, he could send E Lai and his men sprawling. Then, escaping with his entire family wouldn't be impossible for him.

But the result was that Jiang Ziya ruthlessly abandoned his family. So now, Song Yiren hated Jiang Ziya as much as he had once been good to him.

Therefore, news of Jiang Ziya's actions spread throughout Chaoge City the very next morning. Jiang Ziya became universally condemned as a treacherous and disloyal person.

Just as Jiang Ziya's reputation was becoming completely tarnished, a major battle broke out outside Chaoge City.

It turned out that Marquis Chonghouhu of the North had taken advantage of the darkness to raid the camp of Marquis Jiang Huanchu of the East. All the guards were taken prisoner, and Marquis Chonghouhu of the North led his men to Chaoge City. They were then imprisoned in Huang Feihu's Imperial Guard camp.

After doing all this, Marquis Chonghou Hu of the North still didn't stop. Instead, he led his men to raid the residence of Marquis Jiang Huanchu of the East in Chaoge City.

The next morning, he personally brought the bound and gagged Marquis Jiang Huanchu of the East to the Nine-Room Hall.

This inevitably left the court officials looking puzzled. They couldn't understand why the two northeastern lords were fighting, and why the Eastern Marquis Jiang Huanchu had been captured.

But at this moment, no one dared to go up and ask. After all, even Uncle Wang Bi Gan and King Wu Cheng Huang Feihu chose to turn a blind eye.

It wasn't until Emperor Xin arrived at the Nine-Room Palace that Marquis Chonghou Hu of the North knelt down and spoke directly to Emperor Xin.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Jiang Huanchu of Dongbo has learned that Your Majesty has deposed his daughter. Instead of feeling ashamed for the mistakes his daughter has made, he intends to force the emperor to abdicate."

"He personally wrote a letter, persuading Chen to join him in raising an army to besiege Chaoge City. He also suggested that the King abdicate and assist Prince Yin Jiao in succeeding to the throne."

“I will certainly not do such a rebellious act as that of an inferior. I will repeat it once: raid his camp tonight, arrest him personally, and hand him over to Your Majesty for punishment.”

In fact, Di Xin already knew everything that had happened through Gao Ming and Gao Jue. But at this moment, he still showed extreme anger.

“Jiang Huanchu, you should know what your daughter Jiang Wenqiang has done. Even so, I have no intention of implicating you.”

"Even Jiang Wenqiang, I didn't kill her. I just let her spend the rest of her life in the cold palace."

"I never expected that you would not only be ungrateful, but also want to start a rebellion. This leaves me with no choice but to kill you, otherwise it would be against all reason."

As he spoke, Di Xin waved his hand. E'lai immediately drew his sword and beheaded Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, in the Nine-Room Palace.

The body of Marquis Jiang Huanchu of the East lay directly on the floor of the Nine-Room Hall, and Emperor Xin did not order anyone to collect it. Instead, he turned his gaze to Marquis E Chongyu of the South and Marquis Ji Chang of the West.

"The Marquis of the North received a letter from the Marquis of the East. I presume you two have also received it. I wonder how you two responded to the Marquis of the East?"

Before the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, could speak, the Marquis of the South, E Chongyu, jumped up and charged towards Emperor Xin, shouting curses as he did so.

"Even if I die today, I will drag you, this tyrant, down with me. So that the people of the world will no longer suffer under your brutal rule."

As Marquis E Chongyu of the South charged towards Emperor Xin, no one in the Nine-Room Palace intervened. They simply watched helplessly as Marquis E Chongyu of the South reached Emperor Xin's side.

Di Xin threw a punch, which landed squarely on the chest of Marquis E Chongyu of the South.

With a sound of bones breaking, the chest of Marquis E Chongyu of the South was directly caved in by Di Xin, and his heart was shattered.

Before the body of Marquis E Chongyu of the South could even hit the ground, Emperor Xin threw another punch, which landed squarely on his head.

With just this one punch, Marquis E Chongyu of the South's head exploded. Blood and brain matter sprayed directly all over Marquis Ji Chang of the West.

Finally, Di Xin stood up, walked to Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, and wiped his blood-stained hands on him.
