Chapter 391: Sacrificing the Life Pattern, the Mystery of the Flying Bear

The life pattern condensed, and in the next moment, beneath the astonished gazes of everyone, a purple imperial star rose from the top of Ji Fa's head.

"Indeed, this is my Purple Void Imperial Star life pattern; Chancellor, you truly did not deceive me!"

Ji Fa laughed loudly.

As Ji Fa's words fell, one saw the Yin Shang fortune atop Yin Jiao's head, as if summoned, flying toward the purple imperial star above Ji Fa's head.

Seeing this, Ji Fa's expression grew even more frenzied.

"Yin Jiao, do you see it?"

Ji Fa looked at Yin Jiao and said: "Your Yin Shang fate is exhausted; now you cannot even hold onto your own Yin Shang fortune. They will become nourishment, devoured by my Imperial Star life pattern. From now on, my Xi Qi will replace your Yin Shang!"

Watching this scene, all the feudal lords present wore looks of astonishment and uncertainty.

Could it be that, even at this final moment, Xi Qi could still turn the tide against the wind?

However, seeing the Yin Shang fortune atop Yin Jiao's head continuously flying toward Ji Fa's Imperial Star life pattern, many began to believe Ji Fa's words.

After all, if not so, how could the Yin Shang fortune be so easily disturbed?

Some clever feudal lords were already considering how to draw closer to Xi Qi.

After all, if Ji Fa truly devoured the Yin Shang fortune, it would mean that the Yin Shang's fate is truly exhausted.

And Xi Qi will take its place!

But what no one expected was that, at the instant the Yin Shang fortune approached the Imperial Star life pattern above Ji Fa's head, that mass of Yin Shang fortune suddenly wrapped the Imperial Star life pattern and flew straight back.

"Gone? Where is my Imperial Star life pattern?"

Ji Fa was also dumbfounded.

This is not what was agreed upon.

The plan was for him to use a secret technique, employing his own Purple Void Imperial Star life pattern to devour the Yin Shang fortune.

How did it turn out like this?

His own Imperial Star life pattern was actually swept away by the Yin Shang fortune.

Something's wrong!

It's extremely, utterly wrong!

"Ji Fa!"

Just then, Yin Jiao's voice came.

Upon hearing

Hearing that voice, Ji Fa couldn't help but shudder.

The king's majesty swept over; in an instant, Ji Fa instinctively knelt before Yin Jiao on the throne.

"I, why am I kneeling?"

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Ji Fa's forehead.

All along, he had harbored a streak of arrogance; even when facing the former King Zhou, he never had the slightest thought of submission, let alone bowing to him.

Yet now, Ji Fa, solely due to Yin Jiao's aura, bowed and paid respects to him.

"Could it be because the Purple Void Imperial Star life pattern was swept away?"

The more Ji Fa thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Ji Fa, you sacrificed your own life pattern to strengthen my Yin Shang fortune; tell me, how would you like Our King to reward you?"

Yin Jiao said.

Hearing this, all the feudal lords present were stunned, then their expressions turned somewhat strange.

This was not Ji Fa intending to use his own life pattern to devour the Yin Shang fortune; rather, Ji Fa sacrificed his own life pattern to serve as nourishment for the Yin Shang fortune?

"This Ji Fa, could he be brainless? He's so selflessly doing this for Yin Shang—does his lord, the Marquis of Xibo, know? If he did, he'd probably be so angry he'd vomit blood."

In fact, at this moment the Marquis of Xibo is indeed vomiting blood.

What Ji Fa sacrificed was not only his own Purple Void Imperial Star life pattern, but the entire life pattern of the Xibo lineage!

The life pattern was forcibly severed; Ji Fa, being young and healthy, felt little discomfort.

However, the Marquis of Xibo, already advanced in years, could not withstand the backlash of having his life pattern forcibly severed, and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood in succession.

"Xi Qi is finished!"

After leaving his last words, Ji Chang fainted outright.

……

"It seems you haven't decided what reward you want either; men, take Ji Fa away first, and when he has decided, bring him back to see Our King."

As Yin Jiao's words fell, Huang Feihu led people over, took the limp Ji Fa, and led him away.

Seeing Ji Fa being carried away, the feudal lords felt extremely complicated.

They estimated that after being taken away, Ji Fa would hardly appear before everyone again.

After Ji Fa was taken away, the enthronement ceremony continued; having learned from Ji Fa's precedent, nobody dared to say more.

After all, nobody wants to be taken away and wait for the "Great King's" reward.

……

"This little brat, not bad!"

Lying on Queen Jiang's leg, Ao Yifan enjoyed the service of Consort Huang and Daji.

"This child Yin'er is indeed diligent; handing over Great Shang to him, we can also rest easy."

However, soon Queen Jiang hesitated again.

"Merely, bearing the Human Emperor's life pattern, one is destined not to live long; I fear……"

Seeing Queen Jiang's worry, Ao Yifan laughed and said: "What's there to fear? We have people in the netherworld; when the time comes, we'll just work hard and let Yin'er be reborn, right?"

Hearing this, Queen Jiang's cheeks flushed, she looked at Ao Yifan and said: "Then, shall we work hard now?"

He smiled, and Ao Yifan hesitated no longer, immediately……

As for reincarnation, with Hou Tu present, for Ao Yifan's family it is indeed as easy as eating and drinking.

However, Ao Yifan had one thing he did not say.

That is, someday he will change the rules of this heavenly Dao.

However, for now someone above is still watching him, and he does not yet have enough strength to change all of this.

Therefore, even though he has become a Saint, he still needs to continually strive.

……

"Alas—"

He let out a long sigh, and a human silhouette slowly rose from behind Jiang Ziya.

"After all, you still changed all of this, but Junior Brother, is what you're doing really worth it?"

"What's there to be worth or not worth about all of this?"

The silhouette spoke.

"I, Shen Gongbao, will never resign myself to fate in this lifetime; when I use the Soul Separation Method, forcibly fusing our Yin-Yang Calamity Eye destinies together, deceiving everyone except the Saints, I have already made my decision!"

As it turns out, Shen Gongbao did not disappear; he merely used a secret fate-binding technique to forcibly fuse himself with Jiang Ziya, thereby influencing Jiang Ziya's actions.

"Alright, cut the nonsense, let me get on the list; that one has promised to arrange a good spot for me on the list!"

Shen Gongbao said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya immediately took out the Fengshen Bang.

But he knows very well that this Fengshen Bang was not given to him by the Saint Yuanshi Tianzun, but by that one.

In other words, those who committed slaughter calamities in this calamity have all been placed on that one's Fengshen Bang.

After the Investiture, although the heavenly court's forces appear full, in reality they have all become that one's private troops.

If these people were placed on Haotian Shangdi's Fengshen Bang, they might still have some freedom.

But that one is now a Saint; those placed on his Fengshen Bang must all behave honestly.

Otherwise, with his methods, those disobedient immortals will surely suffer greatly.
