Chapter 341: Haotian compromises, Ji Chang dies

~7 min read 1,242 words

The Thirty-Third Heaven.

The Heavenly Court.

After Taibai Jinxing returned from the Three Immortals Island, he immediately went to report to Haotian.

"Taibai Jinxing, how is the situation?" Haotian asked.

"Your Majesty, Gu Xiu accepted the imperial decree and said that when the Investiture of the Gods ends, the Twelve Golden Immortals will definitely all be on the list."

Haotian pondered for a moment: "He actually agreed? Could it be that he really has the confidence and is not just bragging?"

There was a little doubt in Haotian's eyes, but no matter how he thought about it, he did not know where Gu Xiu's confidence came from.

Taibai Jinxing secretly glanced at Haotian and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Gu Xiu also made a request."

"Let's hear it."

"Your Majesty, the shackles of the Heavenly Dao on Yao Ji will corrode her soul, and she suffers day and night. Gu Xiu requested to lighten the pain Yao Ji endures."

Haotian thought for a while; it was worth it to exchange Yao Ji for all the Twelve Golden Immortals to be on the list.

He had already offended the Chan Sect and could not offend the Jie Sect again.

"Go back and tell Gu Xiu that I have agreed to his conditions."

Taibai Jinxing bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will go to the Three Immortals Island now to inform them of this news."

While speaking, Taibai Jinxing secretly wiped away sweat.

He did not expect Haotian to agree so easily this time.

This way, there was no need to contact the immortals to plead for Yao Ji at the morning court.

He exited the South Heaven Gate.

Taibai Jinxing rode a lucky cloud and flew towards the East Sea.

The Three Immortals Island.

Gu Xiu was watering the flat peach tree in the courtyard.

His mind stirred.

He sensed the arrival of Taibai Jinxing.

He thought for a moment,

"This old fellow is back so soon, I hope he brings good news."

Taibai Jinxing arrived outside the courtyard and saw Gu Xiu watering the plants.

He hurried over and began to flatter him.

"High Immortal, what a refined interest."

"Stop flattering me, what did Haotian say?"

"High Immortal, good news, His Majesty agreed to your conditions to lighten Yao Ji's punishment."

Gu Xiu thought for a moment; this was indeed good news for the Yang siblings.

Then, he said to Taibai Jinxing: "It is not easy for you to run back and forth twice. Later, I will personally inform Yang Jian and Yang Chan, you can go back and report."

"Thank you, High Immortal." Taibai Jinxing cupped his hands, left the Three Immortals Island, and returned to Heaven to report.

"Master, was that Taibai Jinxing just now?" Just as Taibai Jinxing left, Yang Jian returned from outside.

Gu Xiu nodded.

"Taibai Jinxing came to inform me that Haotian agreed to my conditions to lighten Yao Ji's punishment. When the Twelve Golden Immortals are all on the list, Yao Ji can be released."

Although he hated the Heavenly Court and Haotian, Yang Jian was still a little happy in his heart upon hearing this news.

But thinking about sending the Twelve Golden Immortals of Jade Void to the list, his expression became solemn.

"Master, this disciple knows about the Investiture of the Gods of the Three Religions, but you have never told me in detail."

"Since Haotian promised us that as long as we send the Twelve Golden Immortals to the list, he will release my mother, and since I am Master's disciple, I also want to contribute. I implore Master to tell me about the Investiture of the Gods, and I will do whatever is needed."

Gu Xiu lowered his head and pondered. Yang Jian performed very well in the Investiture of the Gods.

He did not know what kind of performance he would have after coming to the Jie Sect.

"I didn't want to involve you, but now I guess it's useless for me to say more, so I will tell you what you don't know about the Investiture of the Gods, and how we will deal with the Chan Sect."

Yang Jian cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Master, for your fulfillment."

Xiqi.

Ji Chang was already terminally ill and had a premonition that he did not have much time left.

He felt a bit of regret in his heart; he should not have trusted the Chan Sect and Jiang Ziya's words to raise an army to crusade against Chong Houhu.

Now, the crime of being a rebel could no longer be cleared.

Wen Zhong's army was pressing on the border, and Xiqi's situation was precarious.

Currently, only by relying on the help of the Chan Sect could there be a glimmer of hope for victory.

Ji Chang had no choice but to go all the way to the dark, asking people to call Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa to arrange his funeral affairs.

Ever since Jiang Ziya saw the content about his memory being tampered with on the golden note.

He had been thinking about whether there was a problem with his memory, and he remembered some fragmented memory fragments in his dreams every night. He seemed to have always been very resistant to presiding over the Investiture of the Gods.

Intuition told him that if he presided over the Investiture of the Gods, he would not have a good ending.

His thoughts were always wandering, and he turned a deaf ear to what Ji Chang said.

After explaining the funeral affairs, Ji Chang squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "Prime... Minister, Ji Fa is still young, I leave him to you."

Jiang Ziya came back to his senses and was stunned.

"My Lord, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"

Ji Chang only had one breath left when he called Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa over.

He did not expect Jiang Ziya to be distracted at this time, and for a moment, he was anxious and angry.

His body twitched, and he was out of breath.

Jiang Ziya was so frightened that he hurriedly called out: "My Lord, don't worry, the imperial physician will be here soon."

Ji Chang's eyes were about to split, and he stretched out his finger to point at Jiang Ziya.

"Prime..., Minister..."

"My Lord, if you have anything to say, just say it, I am listening." Jiang Ziya held Ji Chang's hand.

"You..., you..." Ji Chang struggled for a while, but in the end, he could not say it. The hand pointing at Jiang Ziya dropped, and he was completely out of breath.

"Father, Father!" When Ji Fa saw this, he went up and cried bitterly.

Jiang Ziya sighed.

"Fa'er, the Lord has passed away, please restrain your grief."

Above the Xibo Marquis Mansion.

Ju Liusun and the Great Master Lingbao were watching from the clouds.

The Perfected Lord of Qingxu Morality had asked the two to come and help Jiang Ziya defeat the four generals of the Mo family.

But the time was not right, and the two did not appear to meet Jiang Ziya.

Until they saw Ji Chang pass away.

Ju Liusun said lightly: "Ji Chang is dead, this is the number of Heaven. Now Jiang Ziya has completely mastered Xiqi."

The Great Master Lingbao nodded slightly: "In that case, we should also appear to meet Ziya and help him defeat the enemy." ===== CHAPTER 342 =====
