Chapter 102 Good fortune vanished, no king remains in the world!
"Brother Wen Zhong, what brings you here? You enjoy great wealth and honor in the mortal world, completely forgetting the glory of the Daoist path. How did you end up here?"
As Zhao Gongming emerged from Luofu Cave, he saw Grand Tutor Wen riding a black Qilin standing before the mountain gate and couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Wen sighed deeply and said, "Wen Zhong has come here today because he has no other choice but to seek help from Senior Brother Zhao!"
Zhao Gongming was quite surprised. He knew that Wen Zhong was a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother and a direct descendant of three generations. He had long since attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and his status was extraordinary.
Now that Wen Zhong has spoken, frankly admitting that he has nowhere to turn, even Zhao Gongming is quite surprised.
Zhao Gongming looked at Wen Zhong and said, "After you descended the mountain, you became a veteran of three dynasties of the Shang Dynasty and long ago attained the status of an immortal golden immortal. I wonder who forced you to this point?"
Wen Zhong sighed and said helplessly, "One who eats the emperor's food must serve the emperor loyally; this is the reason!"
"I, Wen Zhong, was ordered to lead an expedition to the west to quell the rebellion, but unexpectedly, Jiang Shang of the Chan Sect aided the rebels and caused the deaths of many of my Jie Sect disciples. Now, many outer disciples of the Jie Sect have died in Xiqi, making me, Wen Zhong, lose all face!"
"Having repeatedly missed the initiative, the ten experts from Jin'ao Island came down the mountain to help me. They set up the Ten Deadly Formations outside Xiqi City, hoping to capture Jiang Shang and thus avenge our previous humiliation."
"Unexpectedly, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect descended to the mortal realm, and Vice Master Ran Deng also descended in his divine chariot. Now, nine out of ten formations have been broken, and the Chan Sect still has many powerful figures on its side. I am filled with fear and trepidation. Entrusted by an old friend, I have come here to seek an audience with you, fellow Daoist!"
"I have come here today hoping that you, my fellow Daoist, will descend the mountain and uphold justice. I wonder what your opinion is?"
Wen Zhong explained his purpose, stating directly that the Chan Sect did not uphold martial ethics and had sent many powerful figures to intimidate others.
"What a disgrace to the Chan sect! How dare they insult my great sect!"
"Have the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect ever made a move? Has Daoist Ran Deng ever used underhanded tactics to bully the weak?"
When Zhao Gongming heard that the outer disciples of the Jie Sect had been killed, he was furious and thought that the Chan Sect was bullying the weak.
"Cough cough~"
"Brother Gongming, I haven't encountered that!"
Grand Tutor Wen's noodles were slightly loose. All ten of the Ten Deadly Formations were broken by Xin Huan, and both of them were third-generation disciples.
Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with the Twelve Golden Immortals; the cause and effect should be borne by Xin Huan alone.
"According to you, although the Twelve Golden Immortals and the Daoist Ran Deng descended to the mortal realm, they did not bully the weak?"
"Who killed the nine people from Jin'ao Island?"
Zhao Gongming was puzzled. Since the Twelve Golden Immortals and Randeng had not made a move, this matter should not be taken too seriously.
"So far, only Chi Chi's innate supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, has broken Fellow Daoist Yao's Fallen Formation."
"The remaining eight formations were all broken by a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, whose cultivation level is similar to mine!"
"He is an immortal golden immortal, and also a disciple of the Chan Sect's blessed golden immortal, belonging to the direct lineage of the Xuanmen for three generations."
"What I am worried about are the Twelve Golden Immortals and the Daoist Burning Lamp; the others are not a concern."
Grand Tutor Wen's words were all pointing to one fact: the Chan Sect was planning to bully others by abusing its power.
"hateful!"
"Does the Chan Sect truly believe that our Jie Sect has no one to rely on?"
"Let's go, let's go! I'll go down to the mortal realm with you. I want to see what the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect intend to do!"
Zhao Gongming was a righteous man, and upon hearing this, he immediately followed Wen Zhong down the mountain gate.
Halfway there, Zhao Gongming subdued a black tiger and made it his mount. The two rode the wind to the Shang army camp.
At this moment, in the Shang camp, Zhang Tianjun had raised a white flag of truce and was waiting for Grand Tutor Wen in the central army camp.
Seeing the two cloud frames descend, everyone rushed out of the gate to greet them and welcomed Zhao Gongming into the reed hut.
"Senior Brother Zhao!"
Zhang Tianjun bowed. Zhao Gongming, as the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, held an exceptionally high position.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, how have you been these days?"
Grand Tutor Wen dismounted from the ink-black unicorn and then spoke again.
"These past few days, Daoist Ran Deng has brought the immortals of Xiqi to the front of the formation, saying that he wants to break this Red Sand Formation."
"I hesitated to respond, but the other party's words were extremely vile. Alas, I feel ashamed! I highly recommend 'Entering the Tribulation to Become a God, Starting by Controlling the Three Calamities of Wind and Thunder'! Click to enter the story world."
Zhang Tianjun immediately spoke up, saying apologetically.
"Hey!"
"We from Xiqi have come here to break this formation! Zhang Shao, quickly open the formation gates! Don't be a coward!"
Nezha arrived at the front of the battle and began to challenge them again!
In the past few days, the Shang army has been keeping a truce, and Zhang Tianjun has also closed his battle gates, focusing his attention on ignoring the war.
"How dare you, you mere brat, be so rude!"
Zhang Tianjun had been scolded quite a bit these past few days, and today, seeing Nezha come to challenge him, he was so angry that his face turned red.
"Now that Grand Tutor Wen has returned to camp, I will definitely show them the power of my Red Sand Formation today."
Zhang Tianjun immediately spoke up, then walked out of the gate and entered the great formation to participate in the battle.
"Whose disciple is that young boy?"
Zhao Gongming turned his gaze to the arena. The winning streak of the past few days had fueled the fighting spirit of the Xiqi side.
"This person is named Nezha. He is the son of Li Jing of Chentang Pass and also a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren."
"Brother Dao, please look, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and the Vice Sect Leader, Daoist Ran Deng, are all in Zhou's camp."
"Now that Zhou's forces are so powerful, we from the Jie Sect often feel immense pressure when we engage in battles!"
Grand Tutor Wen's words were true. With the Twelve Golden Immortals and the Daoist Burning Lamp on the other side, the Jie Sect was truly restless, fearing that they would be attacked at any moment.
"The Chan Sect bullies the weak by virtue of its superior strength; it is truly shameless!"
Zhao Gongming had long since attained the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but he still harbored endless fear when facing the Daoist Ran Deng.
A Primordial Golden Immortal is no ordinary person!
"Previously, a group of fellow Daoists on Jin'ao Island said that among the Ten Deadly Formations, the Red Sand Formation is the most dangerous."
"Let's see what Fellow Daoist Zhang does first, and then we'll make our plans!"
Grand Tutor Wen looked into the arena and saw that Zhang Tianjun had activated the Red Sand Formation and ordered the soldiers to remove the truce sign.
Seeing this, Ran Deng said, "The Red Sand Formation is a wonder of the world. It contains three energies and three bushels of red sand. It looks like red sand, but it is actually a sharp blade. It is unknown whether it is above the sky, below the earth, or in the middle the people."
"This formation is quite vicious. If we want to break it, we must find a lucky person to enter the formation and dispel the calamity within. If no lucky person is found to break this formation, our side will suffer great losses."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya asked again, "May I ask, Master, who among the troops of Xiqi is the one destined for good fortune?"
Ran Deng said, "The one who brings blessings is the Holy Lord!"
"If anyone else were to enter the formation, I fear their chances of survival would be slim. Only the Martial King could break this formation."
Jiang Ziya was greatly alarmed upon hearing this: "Our current sage embodies the benevolence of the late king and is not skilled in martial arts. How can he break this formation?"
"If the Holy Lord were to be the one to perform the sacrificial ritual, I fear..."
Everyone knew perfectly well that being the one who performed the ritual was no easy task; to put it bluntly, it meant being a wronged ghost.
"With this fortunate person entering the formation, the calamity will be dispelled, and there will be no danger to their life. You can rest assured!"
After the Taoist Ran Deng explained the situation, everyone's concerns were dispelled. Shortly after, King Wu arrived at the front of the formation.
King Wu bowed to the Taoist priests, who returned the bow and asked, "What are your instructions, Master?"
Ran Deng said to King Wu, "Nine of the ten formations have now been broken, leaving only the Red Sand Formation. Only Your Majesty can personally break it to ensure safety. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to go?"
Ji Fa was taken aback for a moment, then said, "My teacher has declared that he needs me today, how dare I not go?"
Ran Deng nodded and immediately used his middle finger to apply a talisman to King Wu's chest and back, then invited King Wu into the formation.
Those accompanying him were Yang Jian and Xin Huan, both of whom were immortal golden immortals and could ensure King Wu's safety.
"Is there no one else in Jade Void? Let a mortal sacrifice himself for the formation!"
When Zhang Tianjun saw that the newcomer was just an ordinary person, he immediately laughed and then scattered three bushels of red sand. In an instant, wind and thunder erupted within the formation, and countless red sands flew around.
"This red sand formation is truly vicious!"
"The Daoist Ran Deng is quite cunning, actually using the good fortune of mortals to dispel the calamity within this formation!"
"Ji Fa was originally a king of the human race, but now his destiny and fortune have been extinguished, and he can only become the Zhou emperor in the future."
"The Zhou emperor's status was inherently much lower than that of the human king, and the fate of the human race changed thereafter."
Xin Huan and Yang Jian possessed innate spiritual treasures to suppress their own fortune, so the Red Sand Formation was powerless against them.
However, compared to him, Ji Fa was much more pitiful. Since the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been no more kings in the world!
