Chapter 632: The World Trembles
As soldiers, they did not know Jin Ning's identity, nor did they know that Qingzhou had the support of Lady Nuwa; they only knew that the Qingzhou Marquis had honored Yin Shou as the Human Emperor, and thus intended to raise an army to attack the Yin-Shang.
But in reality, they still harbored some resistance in their hearts.
After all, the Human Emperor Di Qi was benevolent and wise; among the people of the world, who had not enjoyed the Great King's grace?
It was just that some were doing it to make a living, and some were forced by circumstances; they did not think too much about it, as they were all working for others anyway, and besides, Yin Shou's reputation had not been low in the past.
But only today did they learn that Qingzhou's rebellion against Shang was actually the will of the Saint Mother, and the purpose was to punish the Human Emperor for his disrespect.
What kind of matter is this!
The Saint Mother is, perhaps, too narrow-minded.
Just as the National Teacher Yang Daoren said, there is no logic where if children speak the wrong words or do the wrong things, the mother must beat them to death.
Compared to the sudden wavering of morale in the Qingzhou army, the Yin-Shang army in Qingyang City was filled with indignation.
Because compared to the Qingzhou army, they had received even more grace from the Great King.
If not for the Great King, many among them would have been destitute, struggling to even fill their stomachs for three meals a day.
If not for the Great King, they could not have achieved anything in the Martial Dao.
If not for the Great King, many of them would still be Slaves; their parents were, and their wives and children were too.
……
The Great King's acts of grace toward the people were too many to count, so much so that they could not finish speaking of them.
Within the borders of the Yin-Shang, which household had not set up a shrine to the Great King?
Yet, for such a benevolent and wise Great King, simply because his mind was bewitched by the Demon Dao, leading him to write a lewd poem,
you, as the Saint Mother, actually want the Great King's nation to fall and his family to be destroyed.
This is too narrow-minded and too vicious!
It is a pity, however, that Jin Ning had spent years in the Nuwa Palace and lived for millions of years in vain; she was actually very simple and did not understand these twists and turns, and was instantly led into a trap by Yin Qi.
Fengyun Sect knew that he could not let Yin Qi continue speaking, so he hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Holy Envoy, do not fall for his tricks again; he is fishing for your words."
Upon hearing this, a look of doubt flashed in Jin Ning's eyes.
Fishing for words?
Although she did not understand how she had been fished for words, she could still sense the change in the morale of the two armies, and she could not help but believe Fengyun Sect that she had been played.
Jin Ning's phoenix eyes were filled with anger, and she struck directly: "Thieving Daoist, you dare to toy with me. Look at my Sword!"
As she spoke, a Golden Immortal Sword appeared in her hand.
Jin Ning struck in anger, slashing a sword toward Yin Qi; immediately, a terrifyingly golden sword Qi shot out, reaching several hundred meters in length, emitting a fearsome sharpness that seemed capable of cutting through everything in the world.
Clang! Clang!
As soon as the golden sword Qi appeared, countless battle swords among the army below wailed in succession.
If not for the soldiers struggling to hold down their scabbards, their swords would likely have soared into the sky and left them.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The hundreds of meters of golden sword Qi shot forth, and the space where it passed seemed to be sliced open, emitting cracking sounds; in an instant, it slashed before Yin Qi, causing Yin Qi's whole body to tighten, feeling as if he had fallen into a Sword Domain.
In all directions of heaven and earth, there were Immortal Swords everywhere.
"Slash!"
Yin Qi's eyes were bright, piercing with clear Divine Light.
He shouted deeply, Divine Blade in hand, and slashed toward the incoming sword Qi; his materialized Blade Intent erupted fiercely, carrying endless terrifying Blade Intent as it struck the golden sword Qi.
Boom—!
The blade Qi struck the sword Qi, and it was instantly like two stars colliding, erupting in a terrifying energy shockwave and brilliant Divine Light, illuminating the world for dozens of miles.
Hmph!
Inside and outside Qingyang City, countless soldiers groaned, closing their eyes in pain.
They felt their eyes stung by the intense light, and many had tears streaming from the corners of their eyes; only cultivators above the Immortal Realm were unaffected, and they saw Yin Qi and Jin Ning locked in fierce battle, rushing toward the nine heavens.
The battle of a Golden Immortal is too terrifying.
If they did not rush to the nine heavens, the continent for hundreds, or even tens of millions of miles around, would be beaten into the ground.
……
Clang! Clang!
Above the nine heavens, the sound of blades and swords clashing was incessant.
Jin Ning's sword technique was peerless; although it looked magnificent, it was filled with killing intent at every turn, and it incorporated the Golden Law, making her sword technique even sharper and more lethal.
Whether it was her bloodline, her foundation, or her Inheritance, she was at the very Top, so her combat power was naturally extraordinary.
But unfortunately, she had encountered Yin Qi.
If not for the fact that the Space-Time law was difficult to use, even facing Jin Ning, he would not have fallen into a disadvantage.
But for now, he could only remain undefeated.
Facing Jin Ning's incessant attacks, Yin Qi defended with all his might, having no power to counterattack under the opponent's assault, but it was not easy for Jin Ning to completely defeat him either.
The terrifying blade Qi and sword Qi crisscrossed, stirring up the surrounding winds and clouds.
For millions of miles around, countless cultivators looked up, feeling two terrifying figures battling in the high sky, like gods and demons, terrifying to the extreme.
……
Taiyuan Mountain Domain.
Dongyi Sacred Hall.
The Mysterious Witch's expression was ugly, his fists clenched tight, and he gritted his teeth: "Golden Immortal, they are actually two Golden Immortals fighting. I truly did not expect that both Qingzhou and Yin-Shang would have Golden Immortals participating in the war."
To support Donglu, he had dispatched ten Heavenly Witches and a hundred Earth Shamans.
Originally, he thought this would be enough to overthrow the Yin-Shang.
Later, the conflict between the Yin-Shang and Qingzhou continued to escalate, and unexpectedly, many Mysterious Immortals appeared, with Heavenly Immortals even numbering in the hundreds, forcing him to seek help from the Witch God Realm and increase the intensity of his aid to Donglu, which included Mysterious Witches.
And what was the result?
Now that Golden Immortals are participating in the war between Qingzhou and Yin Shou, how could he still get involved?
A Golden Immortal is an Ancient Witch in the Witch God Realm.
In fact, in the Witch God Realm, the Wu Clan has tens of thousands of Ancient Witches.
But these Ancient Witches cannot appear on the Primordial Continent, otherwise the Sages and the Heavenly Court would never sit idly by.
If Qingzhou wins, it would be fine; the Dongyi could still have some leftovers.
If the Yin-Shang wins, then he would have to withdraw all forces aiding Donglu to avoid being liquidated by the Yin-Shang.
………
Zhongnan Mountain.
Yunzhongzi was originally gathering herbs in the mountains when he suddenly looked toward the high sky in the east, seeing Yin Qi and Jin Ning, who were engaged in a fierce battle, through layers of space, and a look of shock and suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"That is Fairy Jin Ning; she has actually descended to the mortal world, and is even helping Qingzhou. Could it be that Qingzhou's rebellion is supported from behind by Aunt-Master Nuwa?"
"And that person should be the National Teacher of the Yin-Shang. I truly did not expect that he is also a Golden Immortal; although he is only at the Golden Immortal Initial Stage, he cultivates both Immortal and Martial paths, and his combat experience is extremely rich, allowing him to barely hold his own against Jin Ning!"
He was secretly shocked in his heart.
Even among Golden Immortals, the gap between them is actually quite large.
Especially between the Initial Stage and the Peak; generally speaking, a Peak can easily kill an Initial Stage, just as he is a Peak Golden Immortal and can easily kill an Ordinary Golden Immortal.
But for Yin Qi to be able to remain undefeated, that is truly impressive.
The Fengshen War has only been open for three years, and already a Golden Immortal has entered the fray; it is unknown how much more cruel things will become.
Thinking of this, Yunzhongzi sighed secretly.
Once the great war begins, the people suffer.
……
In Xiqi, Youzhou, and other places, countless cultivators looked up one after another; although they could not see the scene of the battle because they were too far away, the terrifying energy fluctuations faintly transmitted made them tremble with fear.
"Such a terrifying aura, it is Golden Immortals fighting!"
"What is going on? How could there be Golden Immortals coming here to fight?"
"That seems to be the front line of the battle between the Yin-Shang and Qingzhou; could the Golden Immortals belong to both sides?"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The Yin-Shang might have this foundation, but they would never make a move; as for Qingzhou, they did not even have a single Heavenly Immortal before, so how could they have a Golden Immortal."
"What a pity, I dare not get close, otherwise I would really like to see the situation."
