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

Yin Jiao was tightly bound by the Dragon-Binding Rope. His three-headed, six-armed body twisted and turned on the ground, but he could not break free no matter what he did.

His vertical eye between his eyebrows glared angrily, its veins bloodshot, and he roared like a wild beast: "Despicable! You Taoist demons only know how to use such underhanded methods!"

Yunxiao stepped forward slowly, her skirt swaying gently as she arrived before Yin Jiao. She looked down at the Crown Prince of Shang, her eyes filled with both pity and disappointment.

“Yin Jiao, you have been deceived by Guang Chengzi and have lost your true self. If it weren’t for the presence of the Marquis of Bei, you would have become Guang Chengzi’s scapegoat today.”

Yin Jiao's middle head suddenly rose, revealing its fangs, and he looked intently at Yunxiao, saying, "Stop talking nonsense. When has Master ever lied to me?"

“I saw with my own eyes that tyrant kill my mother with his own hands and then have my maternal grandfather executed by slow slicing. Such a tyrant deserves to be killed by everyone.”

Bi Xiao snorted coldly, her immortal sword gleaming with a chilling light. She glared at Yin Jiao and said, "What kind of bewitching potion did that scoundrel Guang Chengzi give you?"

"Jiang Wenqiang colluded with her father and secretly used methods to prevent the king from having any more offspring. In the end, she even wanted to join forces with her father to seize the Shang dynasty."

Even so, His Majesty never intended to kill Jiang Wenqiang; he has merely imprisoned her in the Cold Palace. As for your maternal grandfather, it was entirely his own fault.

Yin Jiao's six arms stiffened simultaneously, a look of bewilderment flashing across his ferocious face. It was as if he had remembered something.

But in an instant, a beam of blood-red light shot out from the vertical eye on his forehead, and his face twisted again. He glared at Bixiao and said...

"Witch, do not try to bewitch my mind. My master said that you Taoists are most skilled at bewitching people. You must not listen to your words, or you will surely throw my mind into chaos. Today I have seen that it is indeed true."

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose from the Shang army camp in the distance. It was seen that Marquis Chonghou Hu of the North was rushing over with a troop of personal guards.

Upon seeing the bound Yin Jiao, tears streamed down his face, and he knelt down with a thud: "Your Highness, this old minister has finally seen you."

Yin Jiao narrowed all six eyes at the same time, staring at the old man for a long time. Suddenly, the middle head sneered, "Who do we have here? It turns out to be Chong Houhu, who is an accomplice to the tyrant."

"Back then, it was you who, for your own wealth and glory, led troops to capture my maternal grandfather alive. Then you helped that tyrannical emperor kill my mother. How dare you show your face to see me today?"

Upon hearing this, Chong Houhu trembled all over, his eyes filled with heartache as he looked at Yin Jiao. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

Finally, he could only turn to Yunxiao and say, "I beg Fairy Yunxiao to intervene and save His Highness. Please, His Highness, do not let this continue."

Seeing this, Yunxiao sighed softly and took out an ancient bronze mirror from his sleeve. Then he spoke to Yin Jiao.

“Yin Jiao, Guang Chengzi sealed your memories with the Soul-Locking Pill. Today, I will use the Mirror of Light to let you see the truth.”

Having said that, Yunxiao formed a hand seal, and the bronze mirror instantly emitted countless rays of light. The mirror's surface rippled like water, and gradually an image appeared…

"No...this is impossible. My mother is a virtuous woman, how could she do such a heinous thing?"

Yin Jiao's three heads roared simultaneously, and the veins on his six arms bulged, unwilling to believe what he was seeing.

Upon seeing this, Yunxiao immediately increased his magical output, and the scene in the mirror changed again. It showed why they were being taken to the execution ground and how they were rescued.

Yin Jiao let out a heart-wrenching roar, and the Dragon-Binding Rope rattled as it was broken. Suddenly, the middle head of his body spat out a mouthful of black blood, and the vertical eye on his forehead began to slowly close.

Zhao Gongming's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "This is bad. Guang Chengzi has placed a restriction on his body. If someone awakens Yin Jiao's memories, Yin Jiao will surely go insane." Before he finished speaking, blood suddenly flowed from the seven orifices of Yin Jiao's left head, and he died on the spot; his right head revealed a strange smile.

The voice turned sharp and shrill: "You meddlesome Taoist disciples! You've ruined my Chan Sect's grand plan. Today, none of you will live!"

Suddenly, Yin Jiao's remaining four arms broke off on their own, transforming into four giant blood-red pythons that broke free of the Dragon Binding Rope and pounced directly at the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming.

Yunxiao was prepared; a golden dragon scissor flew from her sleeve, severing the two blood pythons in half. Bixiao and Qiongxiao also unleashed their magical treasures, killing the remaining blood pythons.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to protect Yin Jiao's heart meridian, lest Guang Chengzi have a backup plan to put Yin Jiao to death.

Thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls appeared simultaneously, forming an array in the air to completely surround Yin Jiao. The right-side head let out a resentful roar, but ultimately gradually melted away under the suppression of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

When the last wisp of black mist dissipated, Yin Jiao regained his original appearance, revealing himself to be a pale-faced, handsome young man.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion and pain. After a long while, he finally realized what he had been through.

She spoke in unbearable agony, "What...what have I done?"

Chong Hou rushed forward and hugged Yin Jiao, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Your Highness, you've finally returned."

At the same time, Zhao Gongming had already retrieved the Dragon-Binding Rope, restoring Yin Jiao's freedom of movement. However, he had not collected all the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Yin Jiao raised her hand with trembling hands, looked at her arm that had returned to normal, and suddenly burst into tears, as if she wanted to turn all her grievances into tears and vent them all at once.

Yunxiao said softly, "Your Highness was framed by a villain, and everything you did was against your will. Now that you have regained your senses, you should quickly return to Chaoge to see the King."

Yin Jiao struggled to sit up and bowed deeply to Yunxiao: "Thank you for saving me, fairy. But I have committed such a heinous crime, how can I face my father again?"

Zhao Gongming, who was standing to the side, said, "Your Highness is mistaken. The King has never given up searching for Your Highness all these years. If he knew that Your Highness was still alive, he would be overjoyed."

Just then, the war drums of the Xiqi camp suddenly thundered in the distance. It was seen that Jiang Ziya was personally leading a large army to press on.

Under the central banner of the Western Zhou Dynasty, stood a young man who bore a striking resemblance to Yin Jiao. This was none other than the Second Prince Yin Hong, who had been taken away by Chi Jingzi along with Yin Jiao years ago.

Upon seeing this, Yin Jiao's expression changed drastically, realizing that his younger brother must have been controlled by Chi Jingzi through despicable means, just like himself.

He hurriedly said to Yunxiao, "Please, Fairy Yunxiao, save my second brother. We must not let him make another mistake."

Yunxiao nodded, then said to Yin Jiao, "Don't worry, you are all of the King's bloodline and the future of the human race. I will certainly not let you be used as scapegoats by the disciples of the Chan Sect."

At the same time, Yin Hong, holding the Yin-Yang Mirror and riding the Five Dragon Steed, arrived at the front of the two armies.

Standing at the front of the battle, he shouted loudly, "Listen up, you traitor Chong Houhu! I am Yin Hong, the Second Prince of the Great Shang Dynasty. Today, I am acting in accordance with the will of Heaven to restore order. You shall quickly hand over the sorcerer from the Taoist sect and you may be spared death."
