You Hun was smug, thinking he had caught Yang Cheng red-handed.
Fei Zhong was his ally, but he also suppressed him and even had a subordinate relationship with him.
Now that Fei Zhong is dead, You Hun is not particularly saddened; instead, he sees an opportunity to use his power against him.
Instead of sharing these suspicions with Di Xin, he secretly approached Yang Cheng, his real intention being to bring Yang Cheng under his command.
He didn't actually believe that Yang Cheng was really related to the traitor Zhou Wu, because everyone had seen Yang Cheng kill the three clan chiefs, Mu Tu, Lei Jiang, and Yu Lian.
If he were truly on Zhou Wu's side, the Hundred Clans Alliance would immediately riot once the matter was exposed. Ji Fa would never have arranged for such an undercover agent if he were out of his mind.
Yang Cheng is not affiliated with any faction and is very powerful. If I can bring him under my command, my power will definitely increase significantly.
Yang Cheng looked at You Hun and suddenly sighed, saying, "Actually, I didn't intend to kill you so soon, but now that you've come to me, I won't be polite."
You Hun's eyes widened immediately: "Are you really Zhou Wu's spy? This is near Chaoge, do you dare to make a move?"
"So what if it's near Chaoge? You yourself said that now is the critical moment for the decisive battle between the Shang and Zhou states."
There are also many Zhou Dynasty spies near Chaoge, and they have been wiped out many times.
It's quite normal that you, You Hun, died unexpectedly at the hands of the Zhou Dynasty. I will spare your head and send it to Ji Fa; he will take the blame.
As soon as he finished speaking, the extreme sharpness of Yang Cheng's three-pointed double-edged sword shone forth, slashing directly towards You Hun and the others!
In an instant, You Hun realized he had messed up.
Who were Fei Zhong and You Hun's opponents before? They were gentlemen like Bigan and Shang Rong.
They can be killed simply by spreading rumors and slander in the imperial court.
But now, faced with Yang Cheng, who had drawn his knife without saying a word, You Hun was completely dumbfounded.
The other retainers of You Hun stood in front of Yang Cheng, but they were all torn in two by the extreme sharpness of the three-pointed double-edged sword.
The water from the Nine Springs instantly overflowed and blocked You Shen's path.
You Hun did possess some magical abilities. His body was filled with corpse energy, and he transformed into a zombie, attempting to tear through the waters of the Nine Springs to escape.
But how could he easily tear apart the waters of the Nine Springs, which contain the power of the Netherworld's origin?
In the blink of an eye, You Hun was pulled to Yang Cheng's side by the waters of the Nine Springs.
Yang Cheng crushed You Hun's limbs, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, coldly saying, "You will answer whatever I ask from now on."
You Hun, his face flushed, pointed to his neck. Yang Cheng loosened his grip slightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what the Desolate God is?"
In an instant, You Hun's expression changed drastically: "The Desolate God? I..."
Before he could finish speaking, You Hun's face suddenly showed a look of terror, and at the same time, his expression seemed to be one of extreme pain.
Yang Cheng tried to intervene immediately, but it was too late.
The black power around You Hun erupted, and right in front of Yang Cheng, he was forcefully crushed into a pile of minced meat, which then glued back together.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly.
He originally thought that this black power would only appear after Youhun died, since Mutu and the others had all looked like this before.
Unexpectedly, You Hun would undergo such a strange change simply upon hearing the words "Desolate God".
The power of the Heavenly Eye erupted, completely obliterating You Hun, leaving only his head behind.
After taking the Golden Elixir, Yang Cheng immediately instructed Jiang Kai to find an opportunity to come over, take You Hun's head back to Ji Fa to claim the reward, and incidentally take the blame.
Just as Yang Cheng had said before, You Hun's death did not cause any major disturbance.
With the Shang and Zhou dynasties about to engage in a decisive battle, who would care about the life or death of You Hun?
Moreover, Emperor Xin was actually quite cold-hearted by nature; apart from Daji, he was cold-hearted towards everyone else.
Wang Shubi Gan was devoted to the country, but he was killed without hesitation simply because Bi Gan disobeyed him.
Although Fei Zhong and You Hun were highly valued by him, he only used them as obedient tools.
Fei Zhong's death angered him because Ji Fa slapped him in the face, not because of Fei Zhong's own death.
Di Xin was indeed very generous to Bo Yi and other veteran soldiers who had followed him for many years, and treated them very well.
But in reality, he considered himself a good king, and a good king should naturally treat his soldiers well. He did this because of a sense of responsibility, nothing more.
So in the end, You Hun's death only added to Di Xin's anger, and he didn't even pursue the matter further.
More than ten days later, Ji Fa's army had assembled and pressed on to Muye.
The Zhou army numbered 200,000, and the Hundred Tribes Alliance and various vassal states also mustered 300,000 men, bringing the total force of 500,000 to the border.
The Shang Dynasty's army was clearly insufficient, with only 300,000 truly elite troops and the remaining 100,000 or so were civilians urgently conscripted, essentially just there to make up the numbers.
Moreover, due to Emperor Xin's continuous wars and his actions over the years, the Shang Dynasty was severely lacking in capable generals.
Some generals were even disheartened by the experiences of Bi Gan and Shang Rong, and many left the Shang Dynasty to join the Zhou Dynasty.
In contrast, the Zhou Dynasty saw a surge of talented individuals, including members of the royal family such as Duke Dan of Zhou and Duke Shi of Shao, as well as Nangong Shi and San Yisheng. The gap between the two sides widened immediately.
However, the Zhou Dynasty's advantage lies in its various psionic weapons.
Rows of bronze cannons stood before the battlefield of Muye, and thousands of chariots lay on the ground, with menacing blades standing beside their frames.
Even the warhorses were clad in bronze armor, exuding a fierce aura like ferocious beasts.
