Chapter 843 Jiang Ziya Makes a Foolish Move

In such a high and powerful official position, it was only the officials who had to curry favor with Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya naturally lived a very comfortable life. However, Jiang Ziya always felt empty, as if he had lost something!

But such comfortable days were few and far between, and soon the time for the Heaven-ordained war against Shang arrived! As the chosen one to wage war against Shang, Jiang Ziya was so worried that he almost pulled out all his hair!

Emperor Xin was not incompetent in this lifetime, and the country's strength never declined. Therefore, very few of the feudal lords were willing to follow Xiqi in rebellion!

Moreover, Xiqi couldn't find a suitable reason to attack Shang. Without a proper reason, they were inherently in the wrong, and naturally, the people of the world would not rally to support them. Overthrowing the tyrannical rule of Yin Shang would be extremely difficult!

Bai Zhen, a powerful figure who pays close attention to the Investiture of the Gods battlefield, has naturally noticed Jiang Ziya's current predicament. Bai Zhen knows very well that as long as Emperor Xin doesn't go mad and the Three Pure Ones don't have any temporary conflicts, there shouldn't be any major problems in this lifetime!

After all, the only thing that can support Xiqi now is the Western Sect, which owes Heavenly Merit. And the two saints of the Western Sect are the best at seeking benefits and avoiding harm. How could they possibly protect Xiqi, a force that doesn't seem to have much of a future?

Of course, if Heaven could activate the backup plan left behind by Hongjun before he merged with the Dao, Xiqi could gain the upper hand for a short time. However, the Three Pure Ones are descendants of Pangu, formed from the primordial spirit of Pangu combined with the pure Qi of Heaven, and are direct descendants recognized by the Great God Pangu.

If the three of them work together, their will can only influence the course of events to a certain extent. Unless there is a powerful means to undermine them, there will be no unexpected events.

With the Three Pure Ones having no intention of helping Xiqi, the mutiny in Xiqi was incredibly ridiculous. Not only were the accusations against Emperor Xin considered fabricated by the people, but the troops were also driven back by the three marquises from the east, west, and north before they even left Xiqi!

If it weren't for the Western Religion's temporary intervention, which gave Xiqi a chance to catch its breath, Xiqi would have been completely destroyed by the coalition of the three marquises!

Jiang Ziya was extremely troubled by the allied forces of the three marquises, after all, how could the troops of Xiqi alone compare with the elite troops led by the three marquises?

If he hadn't used the fact that the three marquises weren't truly united and constantly stirred up conflicts among them, buying Xiqi a lot of time, Xiqi would have already surrendered unconditionally before the Shang army arrived!

In order to quickly turn the tide and prepare for the massive army that the Shang Dynasty was about to send, Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth and finally decided to use the power of the immortals and gods to defeat this army!

However, Jiang Ziya knew that using the power of immortals and gods to interfere with the battlefield was a major taboo. If the ordinary soldiers in the three-way allied forces suffered heavy casualties, his sins would be grave, and he would be despised by humanity!

Therefore, Jiang Ziya had to carefully control the intensity of his use of divine power to fight against the three-way coalition. The followers of the Western Sect offered no warning to Jiang Ziya about his reckless actions, allowing him to do as he pleased!

Just as Jiang Ziya was preparing to use the power of immortals and gods to deal with those ordinary soldiers, Yuanshi Tianzun noticed it after being reminded by Bai Zhen.

He was furious to learn that his disciple had been used as a pawn. However, despite his anger, Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to clean up the mess for Jiang Ziya. After all, Jiang Ziya was still a disciple of the Chan Sect, and if his sins were too grave, it would tarnish the Chan Sect's fortune!

However, Yuanshi Tianzun also felt that Jiang Ziya's cultivation level was not enough to cause any big trouble. Therefore, he sent Nezha, the third prince who had been staying in Chaoge, the capital of Yin Shang, to take a trip to Xiqi and deal with Jiang Ziya, that fool who used the power of immortals and gods to fight against mortals!

The three marquises also had their own talented individuals. According to the rules of this era, it was always soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and immortals against immortals!
