Everyone knew about King Zhou's tyranny, so the small local forces initially resisted desperately, but later they felt that the situation was hopeless. After the princes' army invaded the hinterland, no one obeyed King Zhou's orders and they all defected directly to the princes' army, which accelerated the already fast marching speed again.
In Chaoge City, King Zhou hugged the nine-tailed fox in his arms and said, "The princes are really stupid. They don't even think that the biggest beneficiary of this war is me. As for the lives of those ants, they are not worth dying for!"
"Your Majesty, you are now a master of the celestial immortal level. If the turbid energy between heaven and earth is sufficient, you will probably be able to break through to the next level within a year or two! By then, achieving the Golden Immortal will be just around the corner!" said the nine-tailed fox with a smile.
"That's for sure, but now there are fewer and fewer local rebels. They have basically surrendered to the army of the princes. Now the army of the princes has almost tens of millions of elite troops, right?" King Zhou asked with a smile.
"That's about the number. The four great princes originally had quite a few troops, with nearly four million of them being mortals and above. In the past two years, they have expanded their troops a lot, so there should be tens of millions of elite soldiers." The nine-tailed fox thought for a while and said.
"There are tens of millions of elite soldiers and nearly 10 billion mortals. If I let them all sacrifice themselves, I can achieve the Golden Immortal within a month!" King Zhou said very confidently.
"This may still be a bit difficult. Most of the ordinary mortals are scattered in the wilderness. Even if their numbers are huge, it is impossible to wipe them all out in a short period of time. The armies of the princes are backed by the Chan Sect. There will definitely be a fierce battle against the Golden Immortal masters in the future, so we have to take a long-term view at this time." The nine-tailed fox analyzed.
"Hehe, we can't wait too long. It's time for the Chan Sect to be destroyed. Our Holy Beast Sect has been dormant for so long, it's bound to erupt once. By then, the Chan Sect will have trouble protecting itself, so how can it possibly control the armies of the princes? The armies of the princes without the Chan Sect's backing are completely paper tigers. It's too easy to kill them!" King Zhou said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I have already invited Lady Shiji some time ago, but she has no intention of taking action immediately. She must be waiting for the final decisive battle before reaping the benefits." Shen Gongbao said from the side.
"Hehe, I know very well what Queen Shiji is thinking, but no one is a fool. In the end, can we let her get a share? No matter how powerful a lone god is, she can't do anything alone. If she doesn't cooperate with us, her final end will be death!" King Zhou said viciously.
"Then how do we deal with Long Junhai's men?" Shen Gongbao asked again.
"That Long Junhai is from Jiejiao. Judging from recent events, Jiejiao is determined to get involved. This is good. Jiejiao and Chenjiao are sworn enemies, and they will definitely fight each other. We just need to ignore them for the time being." King Zhou said with a smile.
"But will Long Junhai obediently fight against the Chan Sect? They have always been targeting us?" Shen Gongbao said worriedly again.
"Before, they made a big fuss in the Purple Bamboo Forest in order to gain a place for themselves. There has been no big movement in the past few months, right? And do you know why he concentrated his forces outside Chaoge City? This is to join forces with us. Because if he is too far away from Chaoge City, he will encounter the people of the Chan Sect first, and then he will be alone. His plan should be the same as that of Lady Shiji." King Zhou said confidently.
"In that case, I will not attack Long Junhai's troops and will focus all my attention on the armies of the princes." Shen Gongbao said after thinking for a while.
"We don't have to do anything now. We just need to wait and see. When we get to Chaoge City, I will catch all these people in one fell swoop!" King Zhou was confident. He was playing a big game and had many things in mind, so he would never let anyone go!
The entire Shang Empire was in turmoil, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. Many people felt that the Shang Empire was doomed and King Zhou was about to die. However, the armies of the princes slowed down at the end because their victory from beginning to end was too easy! It was so easy that even they themselves could not believe it!
Since they entered the heartland of the Shang Empire, they have not encountered any resistance along the way. This is totally unlike King Zhou's style. After all, the closer they get to the city of Chaoge, the more the local troops should fear King Zhou's majesty, right?
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The army of princes led by Ji Chang slowed down its marching speed. He would deduce the future good or bad luck every day, but in the end, nothing came of it because everything was like a layer of haze, making it difficult for him to see clearly and figure out the direction of the future world.
At this time, Long Junhai had been in seclusion for more than a year. He himself broke through to the realm of celestial immortals, and the people below him also made great breakthroughs. More than half of his army entered the realm of mortal immortals from mortals. Jiang Ziya, Lei Zhenzi, the two generals Heng and Ha, the four generals of the Mo family, Qianliyan, Shunfenger, the four immortals of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and other masters above the level of earthly immortals who had previously defected to him all made different breakthroughs. Among them, Lei Zhenzi and the four generals of the Mo family all broke through to the realm of celestial immortals. All this was due to the support of a large amount of resources, otherwise no matter how hard they practiced, it would be impossible to break through so quickly.
"Master, the four generals of the Demon Family have all reached the Celestial Immortal realm. If they preside over the combined formation, they can already exert the strength of an early Golden Immortal. However, it will still cause great losses to the ordinary soldiers below. After all, they are too weak if they have not reached the level above the Mortal Immortal. There are still 300,000 people who do not meet the standard." Jiang Ziya reported.
"Don't be in a hurry. Give them a chance to break through. We have enough resources. Before the princes' army arrives at Chaoge City, all our men should be able to be promoted to the realm above mortal immortals." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"According to current calculations, it is indeed possible, but with this kind of strength, it is probably not a sure thing to fight against the armies of the princes or King Zhou's army." Jiang Ziya analyzed.
"Yes, behind the armies of the princes is the Chan Sect, and behind King Zhou is the Holy Beast Sect. It's still okay if we meet a Golden Immortal, but once a master above the Xuan Immortal appears, I'm afraid our fate will be the same as Wen Zhong's back then." Long Junhai said with a sigh.
"Master, if a war really breaks out, can we let the masters of our Jiejiao come out to fight?" Jiang Ziya asked after thinking for a while.
"I'm afraid this will be a bit difficult. My eldest senior brother, Taoist Duobao, is timid and afraid of trouble. Second senior sister and I have different personalities, so it's good enough that she doesn't cause more trouble. Although third senior sister has some friendship with me, she hasn't broken through to the Xuanxian realm yet. This is the critical period for breakthrough, so it's impossible for her to come to help. As for your two wives of masters, they are currently only at the level of earthly immortals, so it won't be of much use if they come." Long Junhai said.
