At this moment,

The demons were naturally furious, but they couldn't figure out who was responsible.

While furious, he was also quite wary.

In the Purple Cloud Palace,

Hongjun Daozu murmured, "With the cultivation of the Seven Kings, it's impossible for him to be killed without any fluctuation. Even Houtu... probably couldn't do it."

Is it a stronger figure from the branch sect, that... senior sister? Or... the leader of the branch sect!

at this time,

A dangerous glint flashed in Hongjun Daozu's eyes. Whether it was the senior sister of that branch sect or the leader of that branch sect, such strength was simply too dangerous!

This presents a huge obstacle to his plans, so it seems he should make some changes!

otherwise……!

The Prince of Liu'an's face was grim; he said nothing, but he couldn't help feeling somewhat worried.

With such a mysterious and powerful figure around, it seems unlikely that the Heavenly Demon Clan will be able to easily devour the entire prehistoric world.

...

at this time,

Neo-Westernism

Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other weakly.

"Senior brother, could it be that person who intervened? Or... the senior sister from the branch sect?"

Upon hearing this,

Jieyin shook his head slightly, "This... cannot be said for sure, perhaps it really is that person, who knows!"

For a moment, Zhunti and Jieyin fell silent, exchanging only a glance.

With that one glance, Zhunti and Jieyin understood each other perfectly.

They have now merged with the demon's power, and at most they are only at the level of King Qi'an. However, King Qi'an was killed without a sound, his death was extremely gruesome.

This made Zhunti and Jieyin regretful. They had gone down the wrong path. Perhaps they should have followed Nuwa's example. If they had been lucky, they might not have died. They could have cultivated in seclusion and had a chance to return to their peak.

But... it's clearly too late now. If we try to escape now, we're as good as dead!

...

Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning's expression was somewhat grim, his eyes flickering slightly as he murmured, "Who... could it be? Could it be that one? If it really is that one... then!"

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun had absolutely no confidence in the so-called new trend of the Investiture of the Gods as proposed by Daozu.

The cultivation level of the Seven An King was extremely high, and I am now not much different from him. But what happened? The Seven An King died silently, without making a sound. If that person had made a move, my fate would have been the same.

The moment this thought arose, ripples spread through the heart of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and they lingered for a long time.

...

The Great Luo Heavenly Mysterious Capital Cave

Laozi sat upright atop Putian, but he lacked his usual composure and otherworldly air. A hint of sorrow and surprise flickered between his brows. "If it truly was that person who made the move..."

At this time,

Laozi had already foreseen the final outcome. Even if Hongjun Daozu wanted to kill Qi'an Wang, he would probably find it difficult, let alone kill him silently.

Such a huge gap in strength naturally made Lao Tzu lack confidence.

The new Investiture of the Gods established by Hongjun Daozu is destined to end in utter defeat.

At that point, failure would mean death; that was both a certainty and a suspense.

Upon realizing this, Laozi's expression darkened, becoming somewhat unpleasant.

Now that things have come to this, he has no way out and can only take it one step at a time.

...

To put it another way,

Beyond Chuanyun Pass, Juelong Ridge

Majestic mountains and towering peaks. Deep streams and steep ravines, the stone bridge is naturally treacherous, the cliffs are steep and precarious, and the Tiger Head Stone has always been majestic.

Strange pines and cypresses coil like dragons, while azure and crimson maples form emerald canopies. Clouds and mist shroud the mountain peaks, which seem to pierce the heavens. Waterfalls rush forth, cascading for hundreds of miles. Truly, even crows and sparrows cannot fly there, and people avoid even the slightest path.

Misty clouds obscure the view, even the herb-gathering fairy hesitates; brambles and thorns block the fields, making it difficult for woodcutters to traverse. Wild sheep and horses dart about like shuttles, while cunning rabbits and mountain oxen are arrayed like soldiers in battle formation. Indeed: Wild spirits dwell amidst the dense grasses, and wondrous dangers abound with ferocious beasts.

The Xiqi army has arrived outside Jue Long Ridge.

To attack Chuanyun Pass, one cannot bypass Juelong Ridge. (The original novel seems to be different, but what I'm writing isn't the original. If I had written the original Investiture of the Gods, that would be amazing. Well, I'll write it this way!)

at this time,

The army attacking Chuanyun Pass was personally led by Jiang Ziya.

At this time,

Beside Jiang Ziya, a general said, "Prime Minister, this place is strategically important and the best ambush site. We should be careful."

After saying that,

Jiang Ziya said indifferently, "It's alright. This Prime Minister has the supernatural power to ensure the army passes through safely. Order the army to continue forward!"

Upon hearing this,

Although I had my concerns, I had to obey the Prime Minister's orders.

As for what happens if something goes wrong, the Prime Minister will naturally take the blame; they just need to do their job.

When the Western Zhou army... no, that's not accurate. It's not appropriate to call it the Western Zhou army now, since Ji Fa has now established his own state, named it Zhou, and called himself King Wu. So, we should now call it the Western Zhou army.

Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.

As the Western Zhou army entered Jue Long Ridge, the Shang army was already in ambush, with Huang Feihu personally in command.

In a short time,

Hand grenades were thrown from the mountaintop, and the explosions echoed one after another, causing panic among the Western Zhou army.

Jiang Ziya shouted, "Don't panic, stay calm! These insect-controlling tricks can't hurt us!"

After saying that,

The Western Zhou soldiers looked up, and above their heads, streaks of scarlet light flowed, blocking the explosive, powerful object from harming them in the slightest.
