Chapter 400

At this time.

Xiqi.

Because the Daoist Randeng had been dispatched to Xiqi.

Guang Chengzi and the others no longer hid themselves and went directly with the Daoist Randeng to see Jiang Ziya.

Inside the camp, seeing the Daoist Randeng and a group of Jade Void immortal leaders arrive, Jiang Ziya hurriedly stood up to welcome them.

"Ziya pays respects to Teacher Randeng and all senior brothers."

The Daoist Randeng wore linen robes, possessed the air of an immortal, and nodded at Jiang Ziya: "Ziya, I have been ordered by the Sect Leader to bring the Golden Immortals of my Chan Sect to assist you. Tell us about the current situation."

After Jiang Ziya was resurrected, he now only cared about completing the Investiture of the Gods.

Without much thought, he detailed the circumstances of Kong Xuan blocking the Zhou army's conquest of Shang at Golden Chicken Ridge, which had caused the great cause of the Investiture of the Gods to be obstructed.

Upon hearing this, a flash of severity crossed the Daoist Randeng's eyes: "Kong Xuan does not know the Heavenly number and dares to obstruct our sect's Investiture of the Gods; he will surely reap what he sows. Ziya, you shall lead the troops to attack Golden Chicken Ridge tomorrow, and I will then take action to deal with Kong Xuan."

Although his voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Jiang Ziya bowed slightly: "Teacher Randeng, rest assured. I will give the orders immediately, and we will march to attack Kong Xuan tomorrow."

In Jiang Ziya's words and eyes, there was nothing but conviction and obedience toward the Daoist Randeng, completely like a wooden puppet.

The next day, before dawn, the Xiqi army had already finished assembling outside the city.

Jiang Ziya wore his Daoist robes, rode the Four-Not-Like, held the God-Beating Whip, and kept his gaze fixed ahead.

The Daoist Randeng wore plain robes, held a horsetail whisk, and had a calm expression, with Daoist rhymes flowing around his body.

Guang Chengzi, the Venerable Daoxing, and other Chan Sect Golden Immortals stood on both sides.

Following Jiang Ziya's command: "March!"

The sound of horns immediately resounded through the heavens and earth, and the army marched toward Golden Chicken Ridge in an orderly fashion.

Before long, the Xiqi army arrived at the foot of Golden Chicken Ridge.

Kong Xuan had already received the news and had long since stood ready with Huang Feihu and the Yin-Shang soldiers.

Kong Xuan stood in front of the formation, his figure tall. Seeing the Xiqi army arrive, he said loudly: "Jiang Ziya, you fled in a panic last time; what kind of people have you brought to die today?"

Jiang Ziya rode the Four-Not-Like forward a few steps and responded loudly: "Kong Xuan, last time was merely a moment of carelessness. You act against the heavens and block our army from conquering Shang; your crimes are heinous. Today is the day of your death!"

In Kong Xuan's eyes, Jiang Ziya was just a mortal who had not yet achieved the Dao. If not for the Apricot Yellow Flag protecting him and the Four-Not-Like acting as a bodyguard, he could have crushed him to death with a flick of his finger.

Regarding Jiang Ziya's threat, a look of disdain appeared on his face: "Jiang Ziya, relying on you? It's simply wishful thinking. Even if you were allowed to cultivate for another ten thousand years, you might not even be able to touch the corner of my clothes."

"Kong Xuan, cease your arrogance." The Daoist Randeng floated out, stood before the two armies, and looked up at Kong Xuan, backing Jiang Ziya.

Sensing that Randeng was extraordinary and not just some small fry, Kong Xuan frowned slightly and said: "Who comes? State your name!"

"I am the Daoist Randeng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Chan Sect."

Kong Xuan sneered: "You are Randeng? I heard that several Chan Sect Golden Immortals have already perished. Now that the Chan Sect has sent you here, are you not afraid that from today on, the Chan Sect will have no Vice Sect Leader?"

Mocked, the Daoist Randeng's face darkened.

"Kong Xuan, cease your glib tongue. If you leave now and no longer assist the Yin-Shang in obstructing our sect's Investiture of the Gods, I can let bygones be bygones. But if you remain obsessed, ignorant of the Heavenly number, and attempt to block our sect's Investiture of the Gods, today I shall act on behalf of the heavens!"

Kong Xuan laughed in response: "You speak of the Heavenly number at every turn. Then, were the deaths of those Chan Sect Golden Immortals also the Heavenly number? If you want to fight, then fight; enough with the nonsense."

"Presumptuous!" The Daoist Randeng frowned deeply: "My Chan Sect Golden Immortals only fell for it because they were caught in the Jie Sect's treacherous schemes. Those fur-clad and horn-bearing creatures of the Jie Sect act against the heavens and will surely reap what they sow. Today, I will suppress you, and then you will know how weak you are before my Chan Sect and will regret offending us!"

Having said this, the Daoist Randeng took out the Pangu Banner.

A terrifying aura surged from the Pangu Banner, and the heavens and earth suddenly trembled.

Seeing the Daoist Randeng take out the Pangu Banner, Kong Xuan's expression tightened slightly.

"The Pangu Banner?"

A look of triumph filled the Daoist Randeng's gloomy eyes: "That's right. This time when I descended the mountain, the Sect Leader specifically bestowed the Pangu Banner to deal with you. Kong Xuan, you cannot escape today."

Knowing that the Chan Sect had come prepared, Kong Xuan dared not be careless. But in a battle between two armies, momentum was paramount, so he said: "The Pangu Banner is powerful, but it depends on who is using it. If it is you, Randeng, using it, I don't feel I need to be afraid."

The Daoist Randeng's face was gloomy.

"At a time like this, you are still being glib. I have already given you a chance to live; it is you who seek your own death. Submit at once!"

Having said this, he suddenly unfurled the Pangu Banner in his hand. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, space billowed, and it was as if the world had returned to the time before the Great Dao of Hongmeng was determined.

Endless Chaos aura surged from the banner, carrying the incomparably terrifying might of heaven and earth, roaring toward Kong Xuan.

The diffusing, terrifying aura carried the power to tear through Hongmeng, as if it wanted to destroy everything before it.

Seeing this, the five-colored divine light on Kong Xuan's body instantly erupted, colliding with the attack unleashed by the Daoist Randeng.

Boom!

The terrifying power swept across the Primordial world.

For a time, the mountains and forests around Golden Chicken Ridge were shattered by this terrifying force, and the earth was left scarred and in ruins.

The Daoist Randeng frowned slightly. Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light technique was indeed powerful, capable of blocking even the Pangu Banner's attack.

But the Pangu Banner was an innate spiritual treasure, and the five-colored divine light could not take it away at all, so he could attack without any scruples.

However, the two armies were currently confronting each other at Golden Chicken Ridge.

Although he had been intentionally restraining his strikes, if he continued to fight like this, and accidentally affected the mortal soldiers nearby, he would incur quite a bit of karma.

The Daoist Randeng pondered in his heart.

If he could lure Kong Xuan away, Jiang Ziya could successfully take Golden Chicken Ridge, and he would not need to continue fighting Kong Xuan.

He looked at Kong Xuan and said: "Kong Xuan, this place is too small to display our full strength. Can we change to another place?"

Kong Xuan's expression was calm, and he sneered: "I am currently a military general of Yin-Shang, enjoying the fortune of Yin-Shang. How can I leave the army? Randeng, do you really think I don't know that you want to lure me away so that Jiang Ziya can attack Golden Chicken Ridge?"

The Daoist Randeng naturally would not admit to having such thoughts and snorted coldly.

"Kong Xuan, cease your nonsense. Since you are unwilling to leave, then let us see the truth in our hands!"

Kong Xuan said: "I, Kong Xuan, have roamed the heavens and earth and have never feared anyone!"

The two fought again.

Terrifying power exploded above Golden Chicken Ridge, and endless pressure shrouded the heavens and earth.

The soldiers on both sides were shocked by this terrifying sight and could not help but shrink back.
