Chapter 869 The Inhuman Ji Chang
Wen Zhong and other high-ranking officials of the Yin Shang dynasty tried to stop the group of powerful demons who came to join Xiqi, but they did not completely stop them! As a member of the Jie Sect, Wen Zhong was well aware of the current situation of the demon race, and naturally understood what kind of people were willing to join Xiqi!
It was precisely because Grand Tutor Wen was clear about the situation of these powerful demons that he chose to turn a blind eye to the powerful demons who joined Xiqi. After all, even if those powerful demons had been warned by the great powers, they still dared to defy the warnings.
Therefore, rather than suffering heavy losses on our side in order to stop them, it would be better to let them join Xiqi and bring disaster to the people of Xiqi. Wen Zhong did not believe that under the pressure of life-threatening danger, the people of Xiqi could still be as united as before and work together to oppose Shang!
Jiang Ziya originally thought that the Yin Shang side was unable to stop the great demons from entering Xiqi because the great formation was broken and the high-end combat power was damaged. However, as the actions of the great demons were exposed, Jiang Ziya finally understood the sinister intentions of the Yin Shang side!
He tried his best to dissuade him, but Ji Chang wouldn't listen. He always felt that Jiang Ziya was just exaggerating. After all, he only saw the benefits of feeding the great demon with slaves, but he didn't see the slightest harm!
If it weren't for these powerful demons fighting for Xiqi, Xiqi would always have been suppressed by Yin Shang, and their resistance would have been extremely weak!
Unfortunately, what Ji Chang didn't know was that, thanks to the spies left behind by the Yin Shang in Xiqi, the people of Xiqi learned that Ji Chang was raising slaves!
Even if the people of Xiqi could not empathize with slaves, they knew that slaves and they all belonged to the human race. It was just that their social status was different, which led to their different treatment!
It was precisely because the people of Xiqi recognized that slaves also belonged to the human race that they felt a sense of shared sorrow when Ji Chang gave slaves to the great demons as snacks!
Although their social status was slightly higher than that of slaves, it wasn't by much. If the great demon raised by Ji Chang continued to devour them without restraint, wouldn't it be the turn of these common people after the slaves were all eaten?
Under the influence of the theory of the great demon threat, the people of Xiqi were no longer as united as before. They began to have their own selfish thoughts, wanting to climb higher and escape the fate of being eaten at any time!
These petty schemes gradually corrupted the soldiers and civilians at the bottom of Xiqi, eventually leading to widespread decay at the bottom. However, Xiqi and the Shang army were still locked in a battle of wits, and their past military training kept them afloat, preventing the Xiqi leadership from noticing anything amiss.
The higher-ups in Xiqi did not notice anything amiss, but how could Zixiao, who had been paying close attention to Xiqi, not have noticed the change in Xiqi's fortune?
After realizing the reason why Xiqi's fortune was beginning to decline, Zixiao did not hesitate at all and directly gave Ji Chang a sudden death!
However, before killing Ji Chang, Zi Xiao planned to kill Boyi Kao, the first in line to succeed him, who was close to the Yin Shang and always felt that Xiqi's conquest of Shang was an unjust act rather than an act of Heaven's authority!
Zi Xiao knew very well that Boyi Kao had always harbored goodwill towards the Yin Shang Dynasty. If he were to ascend to the position of Marquis of Xibo, there was a high probability that he would surrender directly to the Yin Shang Dynasty!
Therefore, killing Boyi Kao in a reasonable way and letting Ji Fa, that ambitious fellow, ascend to the position of Marquis of Xibo was the best choice! Originally, Zi Xiao thought that he would need to plan carefully to kill Boyi Kao, but who would have thought that the matter of the great demon eating slaves would give Boyi Kao the opportunity!
When Boyi Kao learned that his father had been feeding slaves to a powerful demon who had recently joined Xiqi, he was extremely disappointed in his father!
However, out of reverence for patriarchal authority, Boyi Kao could only suppress his disappointment and try to persuade Ji Chang in the most tactful way. But how could Ji Chang, blinded by the honor brought by the great demons, possibly listen to such advice?
During the debate with Ji Chang, Boyi Kao inadvertently mentioned that Xiqi's attack on Shang was an unethical act, touching on the point that Ji Chang was most unwilling to face!
