Chapter 785: Killing the Person, Punishing the Heart

The video was not very long, and it finished playing quickly.

"It's over!"

Jiang Ziya's eyes were vacant, his body staggering.

The moment the video began to play, he knew his lifelong reputation was finished.

The noble reputation of Ji Chang was likewise finished.

He could not fathom how the Yang Spirit could possess footage of their secret discussions.

Who exactly was the traitor?

Footage like this was absolutely recorded in secret by someone on the scene.

As the video finished, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

At Sishui Pass, the Great Shang soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, one after another cursing loudly:

"What a fine Marquis of the West, Ji Chang. I thought he was a benevolent and kind person, but I never expected him to be such a vicious, hypocritical gentleman. To achieve his goals, he would actually go so far as to sacrifice his own daughter. Even a tiger does not eat its cubs; he is simply more poisonous than a beast."

"On the surface, a group of benevolent gentlemen; in reality, thieves and whores. Disgusting."

"In the past, some people even compared Ji Chang to the Great King. Now it seems that is simply a blasphemy against the Great King. One finger of the Great King is a hundred times, ten thousand times better than a beast like Ji Chang."

"Jiang Ziya, it is said that you are also from Zhaoge. It would be one thing if you didn't think to serve the country or be loyal to the Great King, but you actually conspired to slander the Great King. You are simply a beast, an unloyal, unrighteous, and shameless hypocritical gentleman."

Compared to the cursing of the Great Shang soldiers, the Western Zhou soldiers were dumbfounded.

They were completely bewildered.

The Marquis they admired was actually such a petty person.

The previous talk of the favorite concubine killing the queen was entirely a lie to deceive them.

Then what was the meaning of their expedition?

The Loose Immortals watching the live stream were also bewildered.

Countless people online were all stunned.

The war hadn't even started, yet there was such a huge piece of gossip to eat:

"Tsk tsk, the people of the ancestral land really know how to play. If you want to rebel, then rebel; everyone should speak with their strength. But for you to engage in these underhanded schemes, and even sacrifice your own biological daughter, that is shameless."

"Pah. I used to think Ji Chang was a virtuous marquis and that this uprising might be a misunderstanding, but I never expected it to be so carefully calculated. He is truly a hypocritical gentleman, hypocritical to the extreme."

"Does no one notice that the Zhou State's rebellion is under the orders of Yuanshi Tianzun? Speaking of which, how could Yuanshi Tianzun, a Saint, manipulate a war within the Human Race?"

"I just want to know, how was this video filmed?"

"Needless to say, there must be a mole. It must be some righteous person who could not bear to see the Human Emperor of the Human Race insulted, so they filmed it in secret."

Outside Chaoge City.

Song Fu.

Song Yiren's expression shifted; he slapped the table and stood up, his hair bristling with rage: "Jiang Ziya, you beast! I treated you like a brother, yet you not only betrayed Great Shang, but also slandered the Great King like this. You are simply going to be the death of me."

Still feeling vengeful, he immediately dialed Jiang Ziya's Mobile Phone.

Before Sishui Pass.

On the command platform.

Jiang Ziya, whose head was buzzing, heard the ringtone of the Mobile Phone and subconsciously answered it.

Song Yiren's angry cursing soon came from within: "Jiang Ziya, you are a beast. I treated you like a brother; it would be one thing if you chose to go to Xiqi, but you should never, ever have not only slandered the Great King but also led an armed rebellion.

I, Song Yiren, do not have a brother like you.

From today on, with Heaven and Earth as my witness, I, Song Yiren, am breaking all ties with you. There is no more kindness or righteousness between us."

After finishing his curse, Song Yiren hung up the phone.

The scene was silent.

Although the sound from the Mobile Phone was small, everyone was a cultivator; how could they not hear it clearly?

Pfft!

Jiang Ziya's face flushed red, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out.

He was so ashamed he wanted to commit suicide.

It would have been one thing to be exposed by Yin Qi in front of countless people, but now, in the public eye, to be cut off by his sworn brother—this completely solidified his character.

How did it come to this? How did it come to this!

Jiang Ziya's heart ached so much he could not breathe, and he swayed as if about to fall.

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost.

Even if he eventually overthrew Great Shang, his infamy would be passed down for a thousand years.

"Junior Brother!"

Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly supported Jiang Ziya.

He wanted to say something but stopped, not knowing how to speak. He did not feel that Jiang Ziya had done anything wrong.

But some things are destined to never be brought out into the open.

However, even so, in his view, it was not a big deal. As long as they could destroy Shang and complete the Investiture of the Gods, they could just return to Kunlun Mountain afterward; it would not hinder them.

Yin Qi curled his lips and said, "Everyone, there is more."

As he spoke, he pointed toward the Xukong Sword Sword Sword again.

In the video, after Ji Chang finished watching the Short Video recorded by Yin Qi and Zhou Ji, his face flushed red, then he spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell backward. Then the scene jumped, and after receiving treatment, he still died.

"The Marquis has passed away."

……

This video is very short.

But for the soldiers of Western Zhou, the impact is even more intense than before.

Please... you.... add to library 6... 9... book....!

They are soldiers; they do not need to understand court affairs, as long as they obey orders and act, that is enough;

But now that even Ji Chang is dead, who should they listen to?

Moreover, many of them joined the army because of Ji Chang's reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

As a result, Ji Chang's glorious reputation is completely ruined, and he is dead to boot.

……

"Sound the gong, retreat!"

Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth.

Now that the soldiers have lost all morale, they can no longer fight; staying any longer would only be asking for humiliation.

Next, he must worry about how to eliminate the influence.

Clang! Clang!

As the sound of the gongs rang out, the million-strong Western Zhou army retreated like a receding tide.

They came with grandeur, but left in a sorry state.

Han Rong laughed heartily, then turned his head and asked: "National Teacher, should we pursue them?"

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "No need."

Shen Gongbao walked forward, his face full of smiles as he said: "Brother Daoist, I admire your methods. To kill a man and then condemn his heart, it is nothing more than this. It is just that this matter involves my master, so Brother Daoist should be more cautious in the future."

Yin Qi nodded: "Mm, the reminder from Fellow Daoist is well taken. However, this matter is also a fact, and it does not blaspheme the Saint; I believe the Saint will not hold it against a small person like me."

According to the monitoring of the Immortal Spirit, the Mobile Phone was not transmitted to Yuxu Palace, and Yuanshi Tianzun did not use it.

As long as he is not watching the live broadcast, it does not matter even if Yuanshi Tianzun finds out afterwards.

The greatest reliance of Xiqi is Ji Chang, and Ji Chang's greatest reliance is his reputation for benevolence and kindness; now that Ji Chang's reputation for benevolence and kindness is ruined and he himself is dead, the hearts of the people will naturally scatter.

In the future, when conquering Xiqi, the Yin Shang will also be able to quickly win over the hearts of the people.

……

Golden Turtle Island.

Biyou Palace.

Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed heartily.

In the past, Yuanshi Tianzun always belittled him, saying that his disciples were all a bunch of beasts with no moral cultivation and a nature addicted to killing.

Now it is good; the "enlightened ruler" he chose himself is nothing more than a vicious hypocrite.

He really wants to run to Yuxu Palace right now to see the look on Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

"Mm, this Yang God is not bad."

Tongtian Jiaozhu thought to himself.

He had heard Zhao Gongming say that this person has a mysterious background, extraordinary cultivation, and even possesses the mysterious Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin.

With this person here, Sishui Pass is basically worry-free.

……

Lingshan.

Zhunti Daoren also laughed heartily and said: "Senior Brother, this Yang God kills and condemns the heart; his methods are superb. A mere segment of imagery has destroyed the reputation for benevolence and kindness that Ji Chang and his son accumulated over several decades.

If Xiqi sends troops after seeing this, they will surely be spurned by the world.

If they stop here.

Hehe, Senior Brother Yuanshi's plans will have come to nothing."

Jieyin Daoren also nodded with a smile; he is also very satisfied with Yin Qi's performance.

If this person joins their sect, they could save a lot of effort. (End of this chapter)
