Chapter 273: Earth Traveling Sun, perished!

On the Wei River, an old man fished alone amidst the sky-filling snow.

Suddenly, a sound of cart wheels arose.

The old man curled the corner of his mouth into a smile, jerked his fishing rod, and a straight hook gleamed with brilliant light in the sunlight.

"Finally you're here, my hands and feet were almost frozen stiff!"

……

"Grand Preceptor, we just received news that West Qi has changed its commander; look, should we temporarily pause our original plan?"

Yin Jiao glanced at the content of the jade slip in his hand, looked up, and said to Grand Preceptor Wen beside him:

Upon hearing that, Grand Preceptor Wen looked at Yin Jiao with a satisfied expression and said, "Crown Prince, your training these past months has truly made you grow!"

"Hehe, that's all thanks to your teachings, Grand Preceptor!"

Yin Jiao said with a smile.

"You're being modest, Crown Prince; it's also your own talent that allows me to impart all my skills to you."

Grand Preceptor Wen shook his head and said, "However, this plan was originally just a probe, so there's no need to worry too much; after all, even if West Qi changes something, we still have a backup. Thus, what I will teach the Crown Prince today is that while caution is important, sometimes minor gains and losses need not be overly weighed."

"Yin Jiao has received the teaching!"

Yin Jiao clasped his hands in salute; this gesture was sincere.

After all, according to his foster father's words, if he could learn eighty percent of the Grand Preceptor's abilities, that would be enough to deal with those court officials.

As for the remaining twenty percent, it can naturally be safely taught using Ao Yifan's methods.

After all, when reason fails, fists and feet are sometimes necessary.

Soon, the armies faced off; on the Shang side, the natural vanguard was the Mo family four brothers.

Regardless of how skilled these four brothers are, just by their presence, taking a stand there imposes a heavy psychological pressure on the West Qi army.

"Chancellor, those are the Mo family four brothers, generals of Yin Shang; they've killed many of our West Qi generals lately, truly formidable—do you have any way to deal with them?"

Ji Fa looked at the opposing Mo family four generals, his face full of worry.

Indeed, the immortal faction opposite is extremely strong; our commanders simply cannot cope with them.

"Don't, don't panic!"

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard with one hand, saying with certainty, "I, I have already found my senior brother; he, he will surely be able to deal with those four big fools!"

"In that case, then it's trouble for the Chancellor!"

Ji Fa immediately clasped his hands in salute to show gratitude.

"No, no, no need to thank!"

Jiang Ziya waved his hand and said.

"Hum——"

Just then, a pipa sound attacked; the next moment, a powerful surge of magical power burst from within the West Qi army, and in an instant dozens of figures were blown away.

Seeing this, Ji Fa's heart bled.

Now, completely encircled by the Yin Shang great army, the West Qi forces were already weak.

Yet the other side observes no martial ethics, each time deliberately letting the immortal faction cast spells upon the mortal army.

Who knows which scoundrel came up with such a despicable method, not fearing heavenly punishment.

At the same time, within the Yin Shang camp, Wen Zhong also wore a worried expression.

Originally, he too disagreed with the immortals directly attacking mortals.

After all, if a cultivator creates too much killing karma, it will inevitably affect the cultivator himself.

Now that the calamity has arrived, such behavior is even more dangerous.

However, this point was personally ordered by Crown Prince Yin Jiao, said to be to strike at the morale of the West Qi army.

Although Wen Zhong is a Grand Preceptor, after all he is still a subject of Yin Shang; he cannot openly oppose the decision of Crown Prince Yin Jiao.

Meanwhile, observing the West Qi great army's formation broken, Yin Jiao's face showed a hint of a smile.

"Indeed, my foster father was right—if we can win, why bother with all those formalities? Destroying the enemy's spirit is the proper way!"

Yin Jiao naturally also knows that creating too much killing karma in the calamity also affects cultivators.

But he is the future Human Emperor; things like killing calamity cannot affect him.

As for the immortals under his command, Ao Yifan has said that with this foster father backing him, they can be used without restraint!

With Ao Yifan's many safeguards, Yin Jiao naturally has nothing to worry about, so he naturally goes on a massive killing spree.

"Immortals who act upon mortals, creating false killing karma, deserve death!"

Just then, a voice came from the sky.

Accompanying that sound, a sword light flew straight toward Mo Li Hai, who held a pipa.

Sensing the attack from above, Mo Li Hai panicked, hastily raising his pipa to meet the sword light in the air.

"Clang——"

With a resounding sound, Mo Li Hai was immediately forced to retreat repeatedly after being cut.

The sword light merely flickered slightly in the air, then slashed toward Mo Li Hai again.

Seeing Mo Li Hai fall into a disadvantage, the remaining three Mo generals likewise took out their magic treasures to intercept the sword light in the air.

"Now, you wretch, still not making a move?"

Watching this, Ju Liu Sun's eyes flashed with a cold light in the air.

As Ju Liu Sun's words fell, a short figure burst from the ground at the center of the Yin Shang camp, wielding a gleaming golden rope, and lunged to entwine Yin Jiao.

The sudden change left even Grand Preceptor Wen unable to react.

He never expected that such a powerful immortal would suddenly appear in the West Qi army, evade his perception, and strike at Yin Jiao.

"All set!"

Jiuliusun felt pleased.

A few days earlier, Jiang Ziya suddenly visited and helped him capture Tuxingsun, who was preparing to steal his magic treasure and go down the mountain.

To show gratitude for this junior fellow disciple's help, Jiuliusun personally brought his wicked disciple down the mountain, in order to assist West Qi and defeat the Yin-Shang army.

Following Jiang Ziya's plan, Jiuliusun would draw the attention of the Yin-Shang army's immortals, after which his wicked disciple Tuxingsun would circle around to launch a sneak attack and capture the Yin-Shang crown prince Yin Jiao.

And just as Jiang Ziya had anticipated, the immortals of the Yin-Shang army were indeed drawn away.

And Tuxingsun smoothly circled to the vicinity of Crown Prince Yin Jiao, using the Binding Immortal Rope to strike at him.

Seeing that Tuxingsun's Binding Immortal Rope was about to succeed, at that moment a Seven-Colored Flying Stone suddenly flew out from the midst of the Yin-Shang army formation.

The Seven-Colored Flying Stone was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye it appeared around Tuxingsun.

Watching this, Tuxingsun was instantly terrified out of his wits.

"My life is over!"

He didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before the Seven-Colored Flying Stone, like a shooting star, instantly pierced through all the major apertures of his body.

"Disciple!"

Seeing Tuxingsun's miserable death, Jiuliusun's eyes almost burst with rage.

You should know, he had nurtured Jiuliusun in order to have him ward off the killing calamity for himself.

Otherwise, back then, with Jiang Ziya's help, when he discovered Tuxingsun stealing his magic treasure, he would have slapped the other to death with one palm.

Yet he never imagined that, in order to repay Jiang Ziya's kindness, bringing his disciple down the mountain for the first time, this wicked obstacle would be killed outright by someone.

Dying so quickly, does that count as having warded off the killing calamity for himself?

This is what Jiuliusun worries about most at this moment.
