Chapter 424: Chan Sect's planning, Zhunti's thoughts

~8 min read 1,509 words

Seeing the father and son recognize each other, Huang Feihu has no intention of surrendering and even wants to take Huang Tianhua back to Chaoge to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun frowns slightly.

He originally wanted to use the recognition of the Huang family father and son to make Huang Feihu think about surrendering to Western Qi.

He was going to strike while the iron was hot, to guide and bewitch him, and break Huang Feihu's psychological defense.

As a result, things did not go as expected.

He walks forward.

"King Wucheng, do not be angry. Now the Shang Dynasty's fortune is exhausted. This is heaven's mandate, which cannot be saved by human power. Letting you father and son meet, I originally hoped that you would abandon darkness for light, but if you insist on obstructing Ziya's attack on Shang, I will not let Huang Tianhua go with you."

"Daoist, I am disciplining my son, and it has nothing to do with you." Huang Feihu frowns slightly, a flash of anger in his eyes.

More than ten years ago, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, for no reason and without a word, abducted his three-year-old son, causing them to be separated for many years, far apart.

Hatred surges in Huang Feihu's heart, and he wishes he could immediately draw his sword and behead the other party.

However, he knows very well that as a mortal, he is definitely not his opponent, so he can only suppress his anger.

Facing Huang Feihu's rebuttal, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's gaze sinks.

"King Wucheng, this statement is wrong. Huang Tianhua is my disciple, how can it have nothing to do with me?" Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's mouth lifts slightly.

Ever since the Six Saints discussed the Investiture of the Gods at the Zixiao Palace, as soon as Yuanshi Tianzun returned, he began to look for people to undergo the tribulation for the Twelve Golden Immortals.

In order to eliminate the fortune of Cheng Tang and completely cut off the opportunity for Yin-Shang to rise, the Chan Sect targeted the two princes of Yin-Shang, as well as Huang Feihu's eldest son, wanting to take them for their own use.

To cut off the new generation of Cheng Tang, so as to prevent the new generation from making a comeback.

It was only because of Gu Xiu's intervention that the plan had variables, and the two princes of Yin-Shang have not yet entered the Chan Sect to this day.

Therefore, if Huang Feihu is unwilling to surrender, it is impossible for Qingxu Daode Zhenjun to let Huang Tianhua go back with Huang Feihu.

"Tianhua, tell King Wucheng your choice." Qingxu Daode Zhenjun turns to look at Huang Tianhua, his tone deep.

Huang Tianhua's brows furrow tightly. Previously, he had been fighting Huang Feihu on the battlefield.

He only just found out that Huang Feihu is his father.

To be honest, he has no feelings for Huang Feihu in his heart.

Recognizing him was just Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's instruction.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Tianhua slowly raises his head, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"Father, although the child is grateful for your grace of birth and also understands that the Huang family was once favored by Cheng Tang, however, the Cheng Tang of today is no longer the past. King Zhou is lawless, harms loyal and good people, and the people are miserable, living in deep water and scorching fire. Since the child has already joined the Zhou camp, I am determined to attack Zhou with them and return peace to the world. I cannot follow Father back to Chaoge and be in the same boat with that dim-witted ruler."

"I also hope that Father can see the reality and follow heaven's mandate with the child to attack the lawless dim-witted ruler together."

Huang Feihu's face changes drastically, and he shouts angrily: "You rebellious son! Do you not listen to your father's words? Tell me, what exactly has the King done that is dim-witted?"

Huang Tianhua does not know how to answer for a moment.

Everything about Di Xin was heard from Qingxu Daode Zhenjun and after arriving in Western Qi.

If he really had to say it, he couldn't say anything specific.

Huang Feihu asks sharply: "Can't you say it?"

"You raise an army to rebel and pin all the crimes on the King, isn't it just to find an excuse for your act of rebellion? You rebellious son, as a descendant of my Huang family, you are helping the other side to rebel. You are simply unworthy of my Huang family's ancestors."

Being insulted like this, Huang Tianhua's brows furrow even more tightly.

He has been learning arts under Daode Zhenjun since he was young, has learned a set of skills, and is deeply influenced by the Chan Sect's philosophy and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun's cultivation.

His feelings for the Chan Sect are more than for this biological father who suddenly appeared.

"Father, this is just your one-sided statement, and the child is not unfilial. It is really because everything the child does follows heaven's mandate. I hope Father can understand the child's painstaking efforts and follow heaven's mandate with the child to attack the lawless together." Huang Tianhua insists on his own thoughts.

Huang Feihu is trembling with anger, turns his back to Huang Tianhua, and remains silent for a long time.

Only after a long time does he say.

"Good, very good. You rebellious son, it seems you have been bewitched by the Chan Sect and are beyond saving. I will just assume you died when you were three years old. Get out of my sight immediately. The next time we meet, we will be enemies."

Huang Tianhua's expression is cold, and he returns to the Zhou camp.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun sees that the situation is getting more and more out of his control.

He speaks up.

"King Wucheng, originally your surrender to Western Qi was a fixed number in your life. Your whole family would have made great contributions to attacking Shang, but there were variables, which led to you still working for Yin-Shang now."

"Of course, it's not too late now. If you can follow heaven's mandate at this time and assist King Wu in attacking Zhou, you can not only eliminate harm for the world but also make immortal contributions for the Huang family. Future generations will also admire your wise choice. Huang Tianhua has been learning arts under my sect since he was young and knows the great righteousness well. His choice is also following heaven's mandate. Why must King Wucheng be stubborn and obstruct him?"

"More words are useless. Huang Feihu can only die on the battlefield, how could I possibly surrender to you!" Huang Feihu responds decisively, his tone without the slightest wavering.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun shakes his head slightly and says no more.

He bows and sighs, then walks back.

Seeing Qingxu Daode Zhenjun return.

Jiang Ziya, who is in front of the army, rides the Four-Unlike forward to inquire.

"Senior Brother Qingxu, how is the situation? Did you persuade Huang Feihu?"

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun sighs lightly.

"The intervention of the Jie Sect has led to variables. Many of our Chan Sect's layouts have been destroyed. Huang Feihu is loyal to Yin-Shang and is difficult to persuade for a while. I am afraid we can only defeat him head-on and capture him before it is possible to persuade him to surrender."

Jiang Ziya hears this and ponders for a moment.

"In that case, I will immediately set about thinking of a way. I must capture Golden Chicken Ridge and capture Huang Feihu alive."

At this time.

In the dark.

Daoist Zhunti is observing the confrontation between the two camps.

He also learns from the conversation between the two sides that Kong Xuan is not at Golden Chicken Ridge.

He cannot help but frown.

"Kong Xuan suddenly left Golden Chicken Ridge. Doesn't that mean I can't take him back to the West for forced conversion?"

Although Kong Xuan has not yet joined the Western Sect, Daoist Zhunti still feels as uncomfortable as if a piece of his heart had been cut off.

"No, I must find Kong Xuan's whereabouts as soon as possible."

"Kong Xuan has a predestined relationship with my West. If I cannot take Kong Xuan back to the West, it will be a great loss for my West."

Just at this point, Daoist Zhunti begins to deduce.

But the heavenly secrets are obscure, and he cannot deduce anything at all.

"Western Qi is the center of the robbery energy. It seems it is not easy to find Kong Xuan's whereabouts."

Following that, his gaze looks peacefully toward Golden Chicken Ridge.

"Currently, the Jie Sect has the advantage in the Investiture of the Gods war, and the Chan Sect is suppressed everywhere, and many plans have been destroyed. But only if the Chan and Jie Sects both suffer losses will it meet the interests we want." ===== CHAPTER 425 =====
