Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 470: Zhou State breaks through Sishui Pass, shocking the world

The two brothers, Heibai Wuchang, were once citizens of the Shang Dynasty. After becoming ghost messengers and gaining cultivation, they could remember people they had met in their lifetime. When they looked at each other, the two brothers recognized Wen Zhong's identity.

It was really because Wen Zhong was too famous in the Shang Dynasty. They had seen him from afar once when they were common people.

Regardless of the world's evaluation, just looking at Wen Zhong's strong humanitarian spirit, he deserves their respect.

They immediately knelt down and paid their respects to the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty.

The two ghost officials exchanged greetings with a true spirit. The Black and White Impermanence respected Wen Zhong very much and believed that the old master's act of protecting the Cheng Tang state at his own risk was a righteous act.

When they heard that Wen Zhong was killed by Jiang Ziya with a curse, Heibai Wuchang also started cursing, saying that this was such a stupid thing to do!
When our two armies were fighting, I had poor martial arts skills and was killed by you. This was my own fault and I cannot blame others. You can even use any conspiracy or tricks, but there should be a bottom line.

In the eyes of the Black and White Impermanence, what Jiang Ziya did crossed the bottom line.

You are not a demon, you are a member of the Xuanmen sect. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God for using such vicious magic?
The Black and White Impermanence respected Wen Zhong very much. Their actions of refusing to leave when the rainstorm came and holding onto the bridge pillars and being willing to be drowned rather than keep their promise can only be considered as small righteousness in comparison. Wen Zhong was loyal to his country and served it until his death, which is the great righteousness.

Respect is respect, but they won't do anything beyond their authority. Besides, there's not much else they can do. They are just the Black and White Impermanence, what else can they do? Can they stop the Conferred Gods Tribulation?

Bai Wuchang said, "If the old Grand Master still has any unfulfilled wishes, my brothers are willing to do their best to help him."

Wen Zhong has been struggling in the world for so many years and has the ability to listen to orders. Now he knows that the two brothers are willing to help him, but this help is limited.

Asking them to invade Mount Emei and force Deng Chanyu to come out and meet him, or to go to the underworld to redress their grievances, was unrealistic.

They were strangers before, but now they were willing to provide limited help, which made him very relieved.

"Thank you both for your assistance. Wen Zhong has only one wish. I have two disciples, one is Ji Li and the other is Yu Qing. They have low cultivation levels and lack discipline in their work. They should still be guarding my body near Juelong Ridge."

Hei Wuchang probably guessed his intention: "Old Grand Master, do you want my brother to escort your disciple through the Netherworld Road and quickly reach the East China Sea to ask the immortals of your sect to punish Jiang Shang?"

Wen Zhong shook his head. "No, I have been studying under my teacher, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, since I was young. After decades of learning, I have achieved nothing. I feel so ashamed of her teachings. How can I allow her to continue to run around for me and even face disaster? I beg you two to stop my two disciples and prevent them from sending news of my death to the East China Sea. I will be grateful."

The calamity no longer clouded his mind. He now saw everything clearly: the downfall of the Shang Dynasty was inevitable. He wanted to go against the will of heaven, and the final result would be his death.

He had been loyal to the Shang Dynasty before, which had caused a lot of trouble for his master's sect. Yu Yuan, Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and Luo Xuan had all been busy running around. Now, if they heard the news of his death, Holy Mother of Gold Spirit might also be in trouble.

How long could the news be delayed? It was hard to say. He felt that if he could delay it for a day, it would be a day. Until the catastrophe was over, his teacher, brothers, and sisters would be safe.

It starts with yourself and ends with yourself.

Hei Wuchang hadn't expected him to have such thoughts: "This? Grand Master, you don't want revenge? Then you're just going to let Jiang Shang go?"

Wen Zhong gets angry whenever he mentions Jiang Ziya. "This guy is so vicious!" "If you dare, let's fight him on the battlefield. I'll give you a hand, and you actually used a demonic spell!" Zhao Gongming of the original time and space discovered before his death that it was Lu Ya who had secretly manipulated his actions. This was mainly because he had the cultivation level of a peak Daluo Jinxian, while Lu Ya, a Quasi-Sage, was far superior. However, given his last moments of life, it wasn't difficult for Zhao Gongming to calculate Lu Ya's presence. After all, Zhao Gongming had seen Lu Ya before the two armies.

Wen Zhong doesn't have this ability. He is just a celestial being. No matter how powerful he is or how clear his mind is, he can't attribute it to the quasi-saint Lu Ya. The gap is too big. Lu Ya didn't show up this time. He didn't even know this person existed. Lacking key information, the divination could only attribute it to Jiang Ziya.

Wen Zhong didn't know how much it cost Jiang Ziya to curse him to death, he only knew that he couldn't let the Golden Spirit Mother take risks for his foolish loyalty.

Giving up my life would already be enough to repay the three generations of kings, Wen Ding, Di Yi and Di Xin.

He bowed solemnly to the Black and White Impermanence. "Jiang Shang's evil deeds will surely lead to his own destruction. I predict he will not have a good end. I have a formation for you two to use that will be enough to trap my disciple for a while. This is my own formation, so I'm sure it won't implicate you two later."

Black and White Impermanence nodded: "As you wish, Grand Master."

Wen Zhong went to King Zhou in a dream, and then he felt his body becoming weaker and weaker. He took a last look at the beautiful mountains and rivers, and his true spirit flew towards the List of Gods.

Following his instructions, the Black and White Impermanence ambushed on the road from Juelong Ridge to the East China Sea, and used the illusion array taught by Wen Zhong to temporarily trap Ji Li and Yu Qing who were going to Biyou Palace to report the news.

Afterwards they took the "tourists" back to the underworld.

Jiang Ziya was ill, very ill.

Which is more serious, cursing Zhao Gongming or cursing Wen Zhong? It's hard to say.

With his semi-immortal realm, he cursed the Golden Immortal of Daluo, which was almost like a world of difference, and the backlash was unbelievably great.

Similarly, the backlash from cursing Wen Zhong, who was carrying more than half of the Yin and Shang Dynasty's luck, was also exaggerated.

In the original time and space, Wen Zhong was defeated and about to die. He reached Juelong Ridge. The Xianjiao then sent the "blood-thick" immortal Yun Zhongzi to burn him to death. None of the Twelve Golden Immortals dared to go up, for fear of being backfired by Wen Zhong's luck.

Yun Zhongzi can withstand it, but can Jiang Ziya withstand it?

Wen Zhong was tortured by the curse for twenty-one days and eventually died of suffocation. Jiang Ziya also paid a huge price. His face became older and older, his previous vigor disappeared, and his body became hunched, as if he had aged twenty years out of thin air.

Old Jiang, despite his illness, first sent the elite troops of the Zhou State to disguise themselves as defeated Shang soldiers, and retreat into Sishui Pass with an army of more than 100,000. They opened the gate in the dark night, and the two sides fought for a day and a night. Finally, the Zhou State occupied Sishui Pass, the first pass of the Shang Dynasty to resist the Zhou State.

Lao Jiang used the Flying Sword of Immortal Slaying to kill the general Xin Huan with wings on his back. Nangong Shi and Wu Ji joined forces to stab Zhang Jie to death. Longxuhu and Deng Hua cooperated to kill Tao Rong. So far, the four generals Deng, Xin, Zhang and Tao who were recaptured by Wen Zhong in Huanghua Mountain were all on the list.

The fierce general Zhang Shan led many defeated soldiers, as well as Han Rong and Qiu Yin, the original defenders of Sishui Pass, to retreat all the way to the second pass, Jiepai Pass.

Starting from Ji Dan, Ji Li, Ji Chang, and Ji Fa, after the efforts of four generations of the Ji family for more than two hundred years, the Ji family finally walked out of the western frontier and entered the Central Plains, shocking the whole world for a time!
