Chapter 139: Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons

「How is that possible? How does this holy one feel, he seems to be able to see this holy one? 」

In an instant, a ridiculous thought welled up in the heart of the Nüwa Holy One.

The next moment, the Nüwa Holy One unprecedentedly felt a trace of shame well up in her heart.

There was no way, because she was a seasoned shut-in, and all the attendants in the Nüwa Palace were her maidservants, so the Nüwa Holy One, who stayed in the Nüwa Palace year-round without going out, dressed very coolly.

「If he can really see me, then wouldn't that mean he's seen everything? 」

A trace of annoyance welled up, and the Nüwa Holy One's emotional fluctuations grew larger and larger.

And in the mortal world, the tremors of the entire Nüwa Empress Temple grew stronger and stronger.

「Holy One, please calm your anger, Holy One, please calm your anger! 」

The presiding officer of the ceremony, Bi Gan, together with a host of officials, knelt down one after another, praying for the Holy One to quell her anger.

「Hmph! 」

However, Xin, standing at the front, let out a cold snort and said: "What holy one dares to play tricks before this king!"

Saying this, Xin drew the long sword at his waist and pointed it directly at the holy one's statue before him.

「I order you to stop immediately, or else I will have people destroy your temple! 」

As Xin's words fell, the next moment, the fortune of the Great Shang of Chaoge City began to condense, turning into a purple cloud that covered the top of the Nüwa Empress Temple.

「Senior brother, it seems we don't need to act; this human emperor is braver than we are! 」

「Hehe, that is only proper; the fortune of the Great Shang is ending, my Western Teaching's great rise cannot be stopped. Well, let's leave now; this converging fortune purple cloud, if we linger too long, we too may be affected. 」

「Yes, senior brother! 」

Regardless of those two, within the Nüwa Palace the Nüwa Holy One was also furious to no small degree.

Those violent fluctuations, however, gave Ao Yifan a feast for the eyes.

「Damn it, that damned Xin actually dares to threaten this holy one! 」

The Nüwa Holy One thought, feeling an urge to go out and give that opponent a good lesson.

But before she could act, suddenly a voice transmission flew into her Nüwa Palace.

「Nüwa junior sister, please suppress your anger; now the calamity is about to begin, we still need to plan slowly, and must not ruin the Investiture of the Gods plan at this time! 」

The voice transmission was from Yuanshi Tianzun, and his words also gradually calmed the Nüwa Holy One.

That terrifying fortune purple cloud, even if faced by a holy one, would probably suffer great influence.

「However, although I cannot directly act against you, …」

The Nüwa Holy One thought, and immediately summoned the Summon Demon Banner.

「Xin has the Human Emperor's fortune protecting him; ordinary demons cannot approach him. With this, the Xuanyuan Tomb Three Demons, born under the influence of the emperor's fortune, are not affected by the Human Emperor's fortune, so I will let you know the consequences of offending this holy one! 」

Saying this, the Nüwa Holy One pointed at the Summon Demon Banner in the air; the next moment, gusts of yin wind blew, and three figures appeared before her.

「Ready to make a move? 」

Watching all this, Ao Yifan secretly thought to himself.

Ao Yifan naturally could not just watch the three demons affect his uncle-in-law's dynasty, after all, the Great Shang must ultimately pass to his own son.

「So, even though it's dangerous, I can only offer myself as bait, uncle-in-law, look how good I am to you; regarding the queen matter, let's call it even! 」

Ao Yifan secretly thought, feeling that he had exhausted his efforts for the fate of the Great Shang.

「Your Majesty, no! 」

Ignoring Ao Yifan's self-importance, at this moment Bi Gan and the other officials were scared witless.

「What's impossible? 」

Xin coldly glanced at Bi Gan and the others, his long sword planted in the ground, and said in a cold voice: "I am the Human Emperor; even a holy one must not act presumptuously before me!"

「But…」

Bi Gan and the others' faces turned somewhat pale; they never expected the king to dare utter such arrogant words.

「There's nothing 'but' about it! 」

With a wave of his hand, Xin looked up at the sky; the next moment, the fortune purple cloud surged, and in an instant, the gale that had originally enveloped the entire Nüwa Empress Temple instantly subsided.

「How about that, uncle? Before this king, even a holy one must retreat! 」

Xin said, somewhat pleased with himself.

「The king is mighty! 」

Just then, Ao Yifan shouted loudly from the crowd.

The next moment, Huang Feihu immediately reacted, likewise echoing the shout "Long live the king!"

Immediately after, more and more people began shouting "Long live the king!"

In an instant, the sound wave burst through the heavens, and even the purple fortune cloud in the sky seemed to come alive, constantly rolling and surging.

Naturally, Xin also noticed the commotion from Ao Yifan's side, and was all the more pleased with his brother-in-law.

After all, at this moment Xin truly felt that his power had reached its peak.

Bi Gan and the others kneeling on the ground now had somewhat bitter expressions; they never expected that this matter would instead make the king more obstinate and self-willed.

「Alas—」

After a long sigh, Bi Gan, who often communicated with the Marquis of Xibo, clearly felt that the changes in the Great Shang over these years had become ever worse, and the root of it was their king.

「Moreover, although I wholeheartedly wish to admonish this king, Bi Gan found that the regal dignity on Xin's person grew ever stronger, so even his uncle's words often went unheard. 」

「The recent occurrence of ten suns in the sky was a heavenly warning; I don't know what fate our Great Shang will meet under the king's leadership. 」

Bi Gan sighed in his heart, but after everything settled, Xin paid no heed, waving his hand to let people continue presiding over the crown prince's investiture ceremony.

「Hehe, Empress, I wouldn't have guessed that our son looks quite regal. 」

Ao Yifan stood beside Queen Jiang, smiling and speaking softly.

「That is only natural! 」

Queen Jiang also felt quite pleased; which mother doesn't hope her child does well? Moreover, this is also recognition from the child's biological father.

The ensuing investiture ceremony proceeded without any incident.

However, under Ao Yifan's Heavenly Dao Eye, the Yin Shang national fortune on Yin Jiao's person also became increasingly dense.

"Today is the investiture ceremony for my son, Crown Prince Yin Jiao; I am delighted that you could all come to witness the rites, but..."

Emperor Zhou glanced around, then coldly said: "I have already made it clear that all eight hundred feudal lords must rush to Chaoge City; however, some treat my royal orders as wind in the ears."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the air grew solemn.

"Those who do not attend the Shang court are not my subjects of the Great Shang!"

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said: "This time, all feudal lords who have not arrived will be listed as targets for conquest!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was startled.

Everyone knew that this was Emperor Zhou's probe of the eight hundred feudal lords.

But no one expected that Emperor Zhou would directly act against the feudal lords who were absent.

This is truly too brutal!
