Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Just as everyone fell silent, Jiang Ziya broke the deadlock: "There's always a way out. It's late, everyone should go back and rest. We can discuss this further later. Senior brother, don't worry too much."

This is not your fault.

Guang Chengzi knew that things had come to this point and there was no use in regretting it.

It's better to find a way to overcome this difficulty. He nodded reassuringly to everyone, indicating that he was alright.

Chapter 245 Tai Chi Diagram

At this moment, Lin Yaoxie thought of a magical artifact, the Taiji Diagram.

The Taiji Diagram is the supreme treasure of Laozi, the sage of the Heavenly Dao, and is the most supreme artifact used to create the world.

Therefore, the Tai Chi diagram is naturally mysterious and infinitely powerful; it can neutralize all attacks and directly ignore any defense.

"Does everyone know the Tai Chi diagram?" Lin Yaoxie said, revealing his thoughts.

Everyone here knows the Tai Chi symbol. "760"

Guang Chengzi nodded slightly: "The Taiji Diagram is one of the three great innate treasures. It possesses the power to pacify earth, water, fire, and wind, and can also transform yin and yang and the five elements, and discern the mysteries of the heavenly way. It encompasses the power of all things in the universe. The Taiji Diagram presents the chaotic yin and yang colors, revealing the image of the Great Dao without limit. That is, the limitless gives birth to Taiji, Taiji transforms into Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang evolve into the Three Powers, the Three Powers form the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols transform into the Five Elements, the Five Elements form the Six Harmonies, the Six Harmonies determine the Seven Stars, the Seven Stars give rise to the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams connect to the Nine Palaces. Its entire body is also radiant with myriad rays of light and thousands of auspicious colors."

Lin Yaoxie continued, "The main thing is that it can neutralize all attacks, making it the nemesis of the Yin-Yang Mirror."

Jiang Ziya frowned: "That's true, but that treasure is currently with Laozi. How can we possibly obtain it?" Lin Yaoxie smiled confidently upon hearing this: "We don't need to obtain it; we can just borrow it. The world is facing a critical moment of survival."

"The Shang dynasty's Daji has wreaked havoc on the court, and King Zhou is cruel and tyrannical, having lost the hearts of the people. We in Xiqi are acting in accordance with the times and the will of Heaven. Now, the demon and witch tribes are truly at odds, and the leader of the Human Sect, Laozi, is naturally willing to lend a hand."

At this moment, Yin Hong spoke up: "Let me go!"

However, Lin Yaoxie had already made plans for this matter, and he believed that he was the best candidate: "No need, it is most appropriate for me to go. The journey is long and dangerous, and your cultivation level is not high enough. Guangchengzi Shishu needs to stay here, so that if Yin Jiao attacks, we can still deal with him out of consideration for our master-disciple relationship. Master should stay here to stabilize the overall situation."

After thinking it over, everyone agreed that what he said made sense, so they entrusted this important task to Lin Yaoxie. He was the most reliable person to go, and this matter could not afford any mistakes.

After discussing it, Lin Yaoxie decided to set off the next day.

The Supreme Lord Laozi resides in the Great Luo Heaven, in the Mysterious Capital Cave, within the Eight Scenery Palace. The Great Luo Heaven is divided into the Primordial Three Qi, which transform into the Three Heavens. The Eight Scenery Palace is located in the Great Crimson Heaven. ...

However, he was not qualified to go there at that time.

He planned to go to the human branch of the Human Religion so that he could convey his request.

There was no other way. Lin Yaoxie traveled day and night, undeterred by wind or rain.

Two days after Lin Yaoxie set off, that scoundrel Yin Jiao actually led the Shang army here!

Jiang Ziya, Guang Chengzi, Yin Hong, Nezha, Ouyang Xue, and others led their troops out of the enemy camp.

Guang Chengzi saw Yin Jiao sitting upright on his horse, surrounded by people. He was nothing like the Yin Jiao who had knelt at his feet, begging him for revenge for his mother.

After all, he was his apprentice, and he still hoped that the other party could pull back from the brink before doing anything irreversible.

Seeing Yin Hong standing to the side, on the verge of tears, Guang Chengzi spoke first: "Yin Jiao, the hatred for your mother's murder remains unavenged, yet you've become the Grand Marshal of the enemy camp. Have you forgotten the vow you made for the throne? Today you still oppose your master; are you trying to betray your teacher and ancestors? And your brother, are you going to become enemies and draw your swords against each other?"

Chapter 246 Procrastination

To everyone's surprise, Yin Jiao had absolutely no sense of shame. His words only fueled Guang Chengzi's hatred, making him want to kill him on the spot. "Men die for wealth, birds die for food. I believe my mother in heaven won't blame me. When I become emperor, unify the world, and hold..."

"With the power of life and death, I will naturally kill Daji to avenge my mother's death! I begged and pleaded to become your disciple, and these years of service have already repaid your kindness. My foolish younger brother should listen to me and join me in conquering the world."

Yin Hong could no longer hold back: "This is your sophistry. You have completely forgotten the hatred of killing your mother. Now you are dreaming of becoming emperor in the future. You have abandoned all sense of propriety, morality, and shame. You have even abandoned the kindness of your master who gave you a second chance at life. You have even abandoned me, your own brother."

"So what? Now that the Yin-Yang Realm is in my hands, all your sweet talk can't do anything to me. You should surrender quickly, and I might spare your lives out of consideration for our past relationship."

Yin Jiao showed no emotion upon hearing this; perhaps he was just that heartless and ruthless.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya could no longer hold back, but he also had to consider that the Yin-Yang Mirror in the opponent's hands could not cause unnecessary casualties to his own people.

Besides, it's unknown when Lin Yaoxie will be able to obtain the Taiji Diagram.

Jiang Ziya also hoped that Yin Jiao could repent and reform: "Today you were bewitched by Shen Gongbao and wanted to do such a treasonous thing. Have you forgotten the people suffering under the rule of the Shang Dynasty? This war has already made the people miserable, and you are using the skills you learned from your master to prolong the war. You really don't care about anything in order to become emperor!"

Yin Jiao, being cunning and eloquent, said, "It is precisely because I cannot bear to see the people suffer that I want to quickly destroy your Xiqi with my own strength. You speak of righteousness, yet you stubbornly resist here. You are only increasing the suffering of the people. Because I have the Yin-Yang Mirror in my hand, you will never be able to break this treasure. If that is truly the case, for the sake of the people, and for the sake of the others in your army who will not die in vain, why not surrender quickly? When I ascend the throne one day, I will surely let the people live in peace and prosperity."

After saying this, Yin Jiao laughed shamelessly, as if he had already ascended the throne.

Guang Chengzi was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, and his hand trembled as he pointed at Yin Jiao: "I painstakingly taught you two brothers back then, but now you have betrayed our sect. We are already on different sides on the battlefield. Do you want to kill your master, your uncle, and your brother now?"

Yin Jiao's smug expression twisted his entire face: "Master, do you know that you are no match for my Yin-Yang Mirror? Don't worry, as long as you don't fight me, I will make sure you are safe and sound."

At this point, Yin Hong had reached his limit and charged towards Yin Jiao with overwhelming force. Guang Chengzi tried to stop him but couldn't. However, before he could reach Yin Jiao, he was captured by the powerful figures of the Shang Dynasty. Yin Jiao didn't do anything to him, but he didn't release him either.

"Yin Jiao, I never imagined we brothers would end up like this. Kill me if you want, but I'll kill you anyway. It's a fight to the death between us; it's either you or me. Don't think that just because you don't kill me, I'll let you go!"

Chapter 247 Nezha is not afraid of the Yin-Yang Mirror, Laozi appears in his dream

Yin Jiao remained unmoved as he looked at Yin Hong, who was kneeling on the ground cursing loudly.

He watched as Xiqi and Yin Hong were captured and dared not make any rash moves, feeling quite smug.

He felt that his time to unify the world had come.

No one can stop him.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to say anything more and directly led the Shang army to launch an attack.

Jiang Ziya had no choice but to lead his army to meet the enemy.

Upon seeing this, Yin Jiao channeled his spiritual power and used the Yin-Yang Mirror directly against the army of Xiqi.

Those who were exposed to the Yin-Yang Mirror collapsed to the ground and died instantly.

Seeing their comrades-in-arms lose their lives one by one in an instant, the Xiqi army was frightened and halted its advance. At this moment, Nezha was extremely angry.

Ignoring Jiang Ziya's advice, he directly mounted his Wind-Fire Wheels and headed towards Yinjiao.

Yin Jiao merely smiled contemptuously: "You overestimate yourself. These days, people are practically begging to die! Well then, I'll grant your wish."

He picked up the Yin-Yang Mirror and pointed it at Nezha, but something unexpected happened. The Yin-Yang Mirror, which was supposed to kill whoever it touched, had no effect on Nezha.

It turns out that Nezha, being the reincarnation of the lotus-incarnated spirit pearl, had neither a soul nor a physical body.

The Yin-Yang Mirror, which is used to capture souls, naturally has no effect whatsoever.

Yin Jiao was greatly surprised and stunned, when Nezha attacked right in front of him.

After calming down from his initial anger, Nezha realized that his actions had been reckless.

Upon seeing that the expert beside Yin Jiao was someone he could not defeat, he hurriedly returned to the Xiqi army before Yin Jiao could react.

Just as the two sides were locked in a tense standoff, Ling Wuxie was already on his way and was about to arrive at the battlefield.

Of course, he was carrying the treasure Tai Chi Diagram in his arms.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to obtain the Tai Chi diagram so quickly.

On the very night he set off, he dreamt of Lao Tzu.

An elderly man in white robes with white hair and an air of otherworldly wisdom stood with his back to him, and they were in a boundless expanse of water. Just as Lin Yaoxie was wondering what to do, the old man spoke: "I am Laozi, the Supreme Lord Lao."

It was as if a whisper from ancient times had traveled through time and space to reach his ears.

Lin Yaoxie hurriedly knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground, and respectfully said, "Believer Lin Yaoxie pays respects to the Moral Celestial Venerable."

Laozi remained with his back to him, and his voice seemed to come not from his direction, but from all around: "I know why you came before, but war is imminent. So I appeared to you in this dream to temporarily give you the Taiji Diagram to quell the chaos and war as soon as possible, to help King Wu defeat King Zhou, and to save the people from suffering."

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "As expected of Laozi: 'Yes, the believer will certainly not fail the instructions of the Moral Celestial Venerable. After I quell the war, I just don't know how I will return this treasure to the Moral Celestial Venerable.'"

Upon hearing this, Laozi seemed to let out a soft laugh: "Indeed, you are a fine young man, without coveting the treasures. Now that you are at the quasi-god realm, I believe you will eventually become a god. We will meet again then, and I hope you will not keep me waiting too long."

After saying that, I woke up from my dream.

Lin Yaoxie held the Tai Chi diagram in his hand.

Before he could even get excited, he immediately jumped out of bed and rushed back.

Lao Tzu said that war was about to begin and he had to hurry back to prevent more people from losing their lives.

Chapter 248 Yin Jiao's Death and the Taiji Diagram

At this moment, Yin Jiao held the Yin-Yang Mirror in his hand and said to Jiang Ziya, "Watch me send you back to heaven today."

"Stop!" Lin Yaoxie's voice suddenly came from afar: "Beast, if you hand over the Yin-Yang Mirror today, I might spare your life because you are the disciple of Master Guangchengzi."

Unexpectedly, Yin Jiao just smiled contemptuously: "Even my master couldn't break this Yin-Yang Mirror, so what can you do to me?"

Jiang Ziya already knew that Lin Yaoxie had retrieved the Taiji Diagram, and he advised him: "Yin Jiao, you disobey your master's orders and are about to commit the act of deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors. You are facing great disaster, yet you still dare to be so arrogant."

Lin Yaoxie felt that he should not overstep his bounds and help his uncle clean up the sect, so he handed the Taiji Diagram in his hand to Guang Chengzi.

Yin Jiao saw that Lin Yaoxie had handed something to Guang Chengzi, as if he intended to use it against him.

But is my Yin-Yang Mirror something that ordinary treasures can handle? That's just overestimating myself.

“Master, since you’re helping outsiders instead of your own disciple, then our master-disciple relationship ends here today. Let’s sever all ties.”

Yin Jiao's distortion of the truth angered the well-mannered Guang Chengzi, who angrily cursed, "You wicked disciple, today is your death day. From now on, you can blame your master for being heartless. This is all your own doing."

Yin Jiao remained obstinate and directly took out the Yin-Yang Mirror and pointed it at Guang Chengzi: "Then Master, please don't blame your disciple for being heartless."

At this moment, Guang Chengzi had no hesitation and directly took out the Taiji Diagram (aefe) and pointed it at Yin Jiao.

The Tai Chi Diagram is a supreme treasure, capable of overcoming the Yin-Yang Realm and ignoring all attacks!

The Tai Chi diagram was displayed, moving heaven and earth, changing the color of the sun and moon, revealing the unparalleled power of this supreme treasure.

A beam of light emanated from the Yin-Yang Realm, but there was no reaction whatsoever. Yin Jiao was then absorbed into the Taiji Diagram.

Yin Jiao, who had shrunk into the Taiji diagram, panicked. He had only been able to act so arrogantly because of the Yin-Yang Mirror, but now the Yin-Yang Mirror was completely useless in front of such a treasure.

"Master, spare me! Spare me! Spare me! I'm willing to return the Yin-Yang Mirror to you! Master, spare me! I'm willing to return the Yin-Yang Mirror to help King Wu defeat King Zhou. I'll apologize to Uncle Jiang, Master. Spare me! I was bewitched and misled by that villain Shen Gongbao. This wasn't my intention, Master."

Guang Chengzi no longer believed his disciple's words: "It's too late. If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. You were so eager to become emperor that you even broke the oath you made. You've forgotten your blood feud and even tried to betray your master and ancestors. You've violated the heavenly rules, and as your master, I must naturally cleanse the sect and act on behalf of heaven."

Yin Jiao was filled with regret and was still begging for mercy: "Master, please forgive your disciple this time. Your disciple will never dare to do it again."

Guang Chengzi stopped listening to him and directly used the Taiji diagram to neutralize him. In a gust of wind, he turned into ashes.

From that time on, Yin Jiao was no more.

When Shen Gongbao saw that Yin Jiao had turned to ashes and the Yin-Yang Mirror had fallen into the hands of others, he quickly led his troops to flee in panic.

Seeing this, Xiqi did not pursue them, for the overall situation was already decided.

At this moment, in the main tent of Xiqi…

Guang Chengzi's expression remained one of deep grief, while Yin Hong's eyes were still red. One incident had dealt a heavy blow to both of them. Especially to Yin Hong, whose brother, with whom he had depended on each other for survival, had turned to ashes. Even in death, they had maintained the same way they had always been, exchanging harsh words and attacks.

The others didn't know how to comfort them, as they couldn't truly empathize with their situation.
