Chapter 75: The Death of Jie Zitui

  The seventy-fifth emperor died in battle

  Letting go, letting go, only by letting go can one gain. Yuanshi Tianzun was able to give up the opportunity to spread the Tao in the human world and cultivate Guangchengzi instead, which was indeed a wise move. As long as Guangchengzi could achieve something, all the efforts would be worthwhile. Moreover, although Jie Teaching is currently prevailing in the transmission of the Tao, it does not have the innate treasure that suppresses its own vital energy. Prosperity will eventually lead to decline, this is the rule of the Heavenly Way. Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun did not intend to develop Jie Teaching further.

  The plan of Yuanshi Tianzun is good, but compared to Taishang Laojun, it is far from enough. Among the saints, on the surface, it seems that the strategy of Zhunti Daoren in the Western Two Saints is the highest, but in fact, the highest strategy among the saints belongs to Taishang Laojun. He appears to be calm and indifferent, not caring about anything. When Yuanshi Tianzun came to his door and said a word, he handed over the Human Emperor's teacher to expand the teachings, unaware that this was actually Taishang Laojun's plan.

  After the end of the Witch War, it was the era of the Saints. After Taishang Laojun became a saint through his merits and virtues, he discovered that becoming a saint was actually vastly different from cutting off the Three Corpses to achieve immortality. To improve one's cultivation after becoming a saint, one needed either a large amount of merit or faith, or relied on their own understanding of the Heavenly Way.

  The Heavenly Way is not something they can comprehend, even the founder of Taoism needs to embody it in person to understand the Heavenly Way. What about these disciples? So all the saints focused their attention on merit and faith. In the vast expanse of the universe, merit is scarce and not easily obtained, so faith became their goal. When the founder of Taoism distributed treasures, the Supreme Old Lord obtained two spiritual treasures that suppressed the aura, making all the saints very envious. If he developed his followers vigorously after establishing his teachings, it would be easy to provoke an attack from the saints. He understood the principle that "a tall tree will be broken by the wind", so if he wanted to achieve something, he had to endure and find someone to absorb their attention, allowing himself to hide in the shadows.

  Then the Tianxu Sect Master appeared before his eyes. When the Taoist Ancestor distributed the treasures, the Tianxu Sect Master obtained the 'Exterminating Immortal Sword Array'. Although it couldn't be used to suppress the aura of luck, its power was boundless and required the Four Saints to break it. Moreover, the Tianxu Sect Master was a proud person, which would naturally provoke the jealousy of the Yuanshi Tianzun and the two Western Saints, so he became his chosen one in his heart.

  Everything went as expected by Taishang Laojun, but soon Yuanshi Tianzun came to ask for the position of Renhuang's teacher. Taishang Laojun agreed with Yuanshi Tianzun's proposal and made a gesture of quiet inaction, retreating behind the scenes and waiting for an opportunity. Taishang Laojun's behavior was also considered deep and calculating, having taken into account everyone's plans, and should be ranked first in terms of strategy.

  The struggle between the Wu tribe and the Yan tribe triggered by the dispute over the human emperor, although it ended with Chi You's failure and death, also made a name for the Wu tribe, making it stand out among the human tribes.

  The achievements of the witch tribe have put tremendous pressure on the demon tribe, and the witches and demons cannot coexist. They are afraid that the witches will recover with the help of the human tribe, so the entire demon tribe is also beginning to stir.

  Nüwa, although a saint of the demon tribe, has a status far inferior to that of the Demon Emperor Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and is even less than that of the demon master Kunpeng. So, although she wants to stop those restless demons, she is also powerless, and these demons will not listen to her orders at all.

  It's because of what happened during the Great War between the Witches and the Demons that things are like this today. Mainly, it was because Nüwa didn't join forces with the Demon Clan to fight against the Witch Clan, which led to both clans suffering heavy losses. Although the Demon Master Kunpeng wasn't on good terms with the two Demon Emperors, Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi, he eventually broke off all ties with the Demon Clan due to their pressure. However, Kunpeng made huge contributions to the Demon Clan - the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array' was created by him, and it was also because of him that the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu transformed into the Six Paths Wheel, causing the Witch Clan to lose an ancestral witch. All these achievements are remembered in their hearts. Therefore, among the surviving demons after the Great War, not many were willing to follow Nüwa's orders.

  After the escape, Da Wujiu Feng first returned to the Jiuli tribe and informed them to prepare for withdrawal. The sneak attack by Guang Chengzi resulted in the loss of most of the leaders of the Jiuli tribe, and more than half of their elite warriors were lost. Although they now have some small tribes assisting them, it is difficult for them to resist the human army, and migration is their only choice. It was also because of Guang Chengzi's conspiracy with Ren Huang Zhuanxu that the Jiuli tribe completely lost confidence in the human race and no longer had any dealings with them.

  After settling everything, Da Wu Jiu Feng began to think about how to kill Ren Huang Zhuan Xu, to vent her hatred. She knew that there were four Tian Jiao Golden Immortals by Zhuan Xu's side, and it wouldn't be easy to kill him. She needed to carefully plan it out, or else she might not succeed in avenging herself and instead end up getting dragged down with him.

  After recovering from his injuries, Jiufeng began to attack the tribe where Kunlun was located. Although the tribe had four Golden Immortals, including Guang Chengzi, guarding it, Jiufeng did not engage them in battle. Each time, he would only kill the leader of the tribe and retreat immediately if he missed, without giving Guang Chengzi and the other three Golden Immortals any opportunity to surround him.

  The harassment tactics of the nine phoenixes were very successful, but soon the entire tribe began to panic, and the human emperor Zhuan Xu was also extremely angry, but he couldn't do anything about the nine phoenixes.

  Zhuan Xu and Guang Chengzi set up multiple ambushes to kill Jiufeng, but to no avail. At this time, Jiufeng was no longer as easily deceived as before. As soon as she sensed anything unusual, she would immediately flee thousands of miles away, only to return after some time had passed.

  As time went on, more and more people in the tribe began to doubt Chi You's ability. The Human Emperor Zhuan Xu also regretted why he had listened to Guang Chengzi's persuasion to provoke the Jiuli witch tribe. If the other side was so easy to eliminate, the Human Emperor Xianyuan would not have let them go unmanaged. Now it's good that they didn't eliminate the other side, but instead suffered a great loss themselves.

  Under the constant suspicion of his people, Zhòu Wǔ was forced to ask Guang Chengzi to use magic to get rid of Dà Fú Jiǔ Fèng, eliminate the fear of the tribe's people and alleviate his pressure.

  Gong Chengzi sank into thought for a moment before saying, "Ren Huang, it's not that I don't want to get rid of the nine phoenixes, but they're too cautious. At the slightest movement, they'll flee thousands of miles away, leaving me with no way to make a move."

  "Think of another way, Fairy Master," said Hongjun eagerly.

  Guang Chengzi said: "There is a way, but this method is somewhat dangerous."

  Xuanyuan heard that there was a way, and immediately said: "Immortal Master, what wonderful method do you have? Just say it, as long as we can get rid of Da Wujiu Feng and resolve the current crisis, even if it's a bit dangerous, it doesn't matter."

  Guang Chengzi said: "To get rid of Da Wujiu Feng, we need to lure her out first and restrict her movements. To lure out Jiu Feng, however, requires the Human Emperor as bait. Only then will Jiu Feng recklessly reveal herself to assassinate the Human Emperor, giving us an opportunity to eliminate her. The question is whether the Human Emperor agrees?"

  Zhuāng Yù heard Guang Cheng Zi's words, his heart was involuntarily extremely angry. Guang Cheng Zi clearly wanted to harm him to death. If he didn't agree, then he would have an excuse to push it away. If the clan members found out, he wouldn't be able to be the Human Emperor anymore. If he agreed, it would be a matter of life and death, very possibly ten deaths with no survival. Jiǔ Fèng was a famous great witch in the Wu tribe, while he was just an ordinary person who hadn't yet entered the Immortal Path.

  Guang Chengzi looked at the thinking Emperor Zhuanxu, a sly smile spreading across his face. He knew that Emperor Zhuanxu had no choice but to agree with his proposal, no matter what.

  Although his heart was filled with distress, he still smiled and said: "Everything has been arranged by the immortal elder, I hope this time we can eliminate Da Wu Jiu Feng once and for all."

  Guang Chengzi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Human Emperor, as long as the Nine Phoenix appears, I will definitely eliminate it."

  Guang Chengzi said this with full confidence, but in fact he had no grasp at all and was just trying his luck to see if he could eliminate Jiu Feng. Whether or not he could eliminate Jiu Feng depended on heaven's will.

  After getting the consent of the Human Emperor, Guang Chengzi quickly took action and set up a trap under the pretext that the Human Emperor Zhuanxu was going out for a tour, waiting quietly for the arrival of Da Wu Jiu Feng.

  Jiufeng heard that Zhuanxu was going out for a stroll, and the first thing she thought of was that this was an ambush. However, at this time, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and although she knew it was an ambush, she still prepared to go and assassinate Zhuanxu. But Jiufeng did not act rashly, instead observing from all sides for a long time before confirming that Zhuanxu was indeed real, only then did she take action.

  Guang Chengzi and Ren Huang Zhuan Xu were both extremely nervous in their hearts. Ren Huang Zhuan Xu was worried about his own safety, while Guang Chengzi was worried that the nine phoenixes would see through his plan.

  When he saw the appearance of Jiufeng, Guangchengzi involuntarily took a deep breath and immediately sent a signal to notify the ambush on one side, Chi, Taizhen and Huanglong Zhenren, to surround and kill the great witch Jiufeng together.

  Jiufeng was not a fool either, and naturally understood the intentions of Guang Chengzi. Before she appeared, he had used the witch tribe's secret method to forcibly raise his cultivation to the peak of the great witch, and as soon as she showed up, he immediately launched the witch tribe's secret method to summon the power of heaven and earth to attack Emperor Zhuanxu.

  The plan of Guang Chengzi was good, but he did not expect that Jiufeng had already seen through everything and instead used this point to launch a long-planned attack. Under Jiufeng's attack, the Human Emperor Zhuanxu had a magical spell to protect himself, but still died on the spot.

  After striking nine phoenixes at once, she immediately fled and did not return to the Jiuli tribe. Instead, she escaped into the vast expanse of the Honghuang Starry Sky in one breath, leaving Guangchengzi and others unable to catch up.
