Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 383

Yuan Hong and the Six-Eared Macaque were among the Four Mischievous Monkeys. They had some connection with the other two monkeys, so it would be best to have them go find people.

Yuan Hong and Liu Er went immediately, not daring to delay for even a moment.

"Why would you suddenly want to refine a magic array? Haven't you always told your disciples to focus on their own cultivation and not even care much about the help of magic treasures?" Tongtian found it strange that Hongyun had changed so much.

They were suddenly asked to create an array, and without any setbacks, they succeeded on their first try after gathering all the strange insects.

Hongyun had already offered his explanation: "Of course, a disciple's own cultivation is the most important, but cultivation cannot be achieved in a day. Wouldn't it be better to receive some additional assistance on top of one's existing cultivation level?"

"If I could, I would rather they be so poor that they have no magic weapons or spiritual treasures, so that they could all reach the level of Quasi-Saint. But now spiritual energy is scarce, and even if we do our best, it is extremely difficult for them to break through to the Quasi-Saint level."

"In order to enhance their combat strength, provide them with more protection, and ensure that Wuzhuang Temple remains invincible, formations are also very necessary."

Tongtian nodded. This was exactly what he had always thought, but some disciples had put the cart before the horse.

"In that case, I will take my disciples back first. If the Four Monkeys of Chaos encounter any difficulties with the formation, please come to me at any time." Tongtian got up and was about to leave.

Hongyun knew that the Jie Sect was currently very busy and it was not appropriate for Tongtian to stay as a guest for long. So he and Zhenyuanzi got up and saw Tongtian off.

Except for a few disciples who entered the Ten Thousand Poisons Formation, all the disciples of the Jie Sect followed behind Tongtian and bid farewell to Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi.

With the Ten Thousand Poisons Formation fully developed, Hongyun had some free time again. He used his magic to open the magic mirror and observe the situation in the human world.

In Chaoge, Emperor Xin hosted a banquet for Ji Fa, with the nine-tailed fox accompanying him.

After presenting the treasure, Ji Fa returned to his seat and gave Bi Gan a meaningful look.

Bi Gan hesitated. He knew that Ji Chang might be detrimental to the Shang Dynasty and shouldn't be released. But Ji Chang had no crime to be convicted of, and keeping him imprisoned indefinitely was not an option.

Now, the man's son has come with great sincerity to present the treasure, and has even come to his residence to ask him to intercede for Ji Chang. He is torn between two conflicting motives, unable to bear seeing his old friend suffer because of unfounded accusations.

"Does the Prime Minister have something to say?" The Nine-Tailed Fox saw the struggle on Bigan's face.

Di Xin also looked over, and Bigan had no choice but to speak up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xibo is already old and alone in Chaoge, separated from his family, which is truly tragic. I beg Your Majesty to consider Ji Fa's filial piety and release the Marquis of Xibo so that he and his son can be reunited."

Upon hearing this, the noise at the banquet suddenly subsided.

Many ministers knew that the Zhou dynasty was destined to replace the Shang, and that Ji Chang was the greatest enemy of the Shang. Although they were unwilling to believe that the sage-like Ji Chang would have schemed for so many years to seize the Shang throne, they were also unwilling to take the risk.

Therefore, people often sent food and other necessities to Ji Chang, but no one ever pleaded for him.

In the eyes of the loyal ministers of Chaoge, as long as the Shang dynasty could be preserved, they would be willing to sacrifice themselves, let alone Ji Chang.

No one expected that Prime Minister Bigan, the most loyal person to the Shang Dynasty, would plead for Ji Chang.

They all believed that Bigan would not betray the Shang Dynasty, so many people are now struggling and don't know what to do.

Ji Fa continued, "Your Majesty, my father is old and frail, and we do not know how many more years he has left. I beg Your Majesty to consider my father's unwavering loyalty and allow him to return home to enjoy a few more years of family happiness!"
