Xing Tian fled back to the camp in a sorry state. This time he led more than 10,000 men to raid the camp, but in the end only a little over 1,000 men escaped.
This time, they really tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
He had just returned to the central command tent when Gonggong and the other two also rushed back.
He hurried over and thanked the three for their help...
Inside the Yanhuang camp, they were cleaning up the battlefield and dealing with the wounded and the dead.
By the time they finished cleaning up, it was already broad daylight.
Neither side left their camp to fight that day. After resting for a day and a night, Chisongzi led his generals out of the camp and onto the battlefield the next day.
Seeing that the camp gates several miles away were tightly closed, Chisongzi ordered someone to deliver a challenge.
Soon after, Gonggong and his troops also led their troops out of the camp and onto the battlefield. The two sides then formed their respective formations and confronted each other.
Chisongzi frowned when he saw that there were even demon soldiers among the enemy's army.
"Gonggong! Xingtian! You have no shame! It's one thing to rebel against the Human Emperor, but you've even colluded with the demon race! You are utterly unworthy of being called sons!"
Chisongzi shouted loudly from the perspective of the human race.
However, in reality, he himself was not a pure human. His roots were in an ancient pine tree, which was able to attain enlightenment after being enlightened by the Human Emperor Nine-Headed Clan millions of years ago.
However, after he became the Great Elder of the Human Race and served through three generations of Human Emperors, so many years have passed that he has long since come to regard himself as a member of the Human Race.
Upon hearing Chisongzi's rebuke, Gonggong sneered, "You old thief! You're utterly foolish!"
Since that Xuanxiang brat ascended to the throne of the Human Emperor, what merits has he ever made for the human race? On the contrary, relying on his position, he treats the human race like straw dogs, using them to achieve his own Dao fruition.
So, does he even deserve to be called the Human Emperor?
We, fellow Daoists, have raised a great army to punish this person, which is also in accordance with the mandate of Heaven, to save the human race from dire straits.
As the Great Elder of my human race, it's one thing for you to disobey the will of Heaven and join us, but instead you help this person fight against my righteous army.
How could we possibly face the spirit of His Majesty the Nine-Headed Clan in heaven by doing this…
Throughout history, those who wage war, regardless of which side, have always cloaked themselves in a guise of righteousness.
As for who is right and who is wrong, it doesn't really matter.
In the end, it's always the winner who takes all, including true justice...
The two sides exchanged a few words in front of each other, but seeing that the other was a determined person, it would be difficult to persuade him.
So they stopped talking and started the duel.
In the first battle, Xing Tian once again took the field. He held a shield in one hand and an axe in the other, and with his bravery, he won several battles in succession.
In the end, it was a Grand Elder from the Yanhuang tribe who stepped forward and defeated the opponent in one move.
After Xing Tian was defeated, the demon saint Gui Che took his place.
As a demon saint with many years of experience, Guiche's cultivation level is naturally quite high.
The Yanhuang side sent out several elders to fight one after another, but they were no match for them and were defeated one after another.
Guiche was also quite ruthless; the elders who fought him were either seriously injured or died on the spot after being defeated.
Seeing this situation, Chisongzi realized that continuing the fight today would be unwise.
Otherwise, unless he personally intervenes, none of his subordinates should be able to defeat Guiche.
Therefore, he immediately decided to temporarily avoid the confrontation and lead his troops back to camp...
...
Hu Le has been stationed at Buyou Kongfang Mountain for some time now, but the battle situation at the front has remained under control.
On this day, after a brief calculation, he summoned the Red Jade Boy outside the hall, gave him some instructions, and then the boy left the hall with a jade talisman, riding on auspicious clouds directly to Mount Zhou.
The ancestral temple of the human race is still located in Zhou Mountain.
However, since the split of the human race, Houtu and other allied tribes no longer came to the ancestral temple to pay homage. Instead, they built another ancestral temple to worship the Human Emperor Jiutou and the ancestral spirits of the human race...
After the Red Jade Boy arrived at the ancestral temple, he descended on auspicious clouds halfway up a mountain.
Opposite him stood a cave dwelling, in which lived an elder of the human race named Guzhu.
Gu Zhu and Chi Songzi were contemporaries, and both served under the Nine Heads Clan.
Later, Chisongzi became the Grand Elder, while Guzhu lived in seclusion in the ancestral temple, cultivating by drawing upon the fortune of the human race.
Many years ago, he had already achieved the Great Luo Daoist cultivation.
Because he had lived a secluded life for many years, the human race had gradually forgotten about him.
But in terms of true strength, he was in no way inferior to Chishongzi.
Hongyu Boy arrived at the cave entrance and knocked on the door. He was quickly welcomed inside by a boy and finally met Guzhu.
Gu Zhu was an old man with white hair and beard, a ruddy complexion, and calm, unwavering eyes.
"Why have you come, boy?" Gu Zhu asked Hongyu Tongzi directly upon seeing him.
"This young boy has come to deliver the Emperor's decree. Please accept the decree, True Man." The Red Jade Boy handed the decree forward.
Gu Zhu stood up and bowed in the direction of Bu You Kong Fang Mountain before accepting the talisman. After examining its contents with his divine sense, he nodded.
"You can go back and report to His Majesty the Human Emperor. I will then come out of the mountains to lend Fellow Daoist Chisongzi a helping hand."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Boy nodded and then took his leave.
Gu Zhu put away the jade talisman, then went to the back cave, retrieved two spiritual treasures, gave the boy some instructions to guard the cave, and then set off on auspicious clouds.
Before long, he arrived outside the Yanhuang camp and placed auspicious clouds under the gate tower.
Because he rarely appeared in public, the soldiers guarding the gate naturally did not recognize his identity.
However, after he introduced himself and explained his purpose, Chishongzi quickly came out to greet him personally.
"Fellow Daoist Guzhu! You have finally arrived!"
Chisongzi seemed quite excited about the arrival of Guzhu.
In recent days, the two sides have fought several more battles, and as a result, his side has suffered considerable losses.
Even though he personally took action, he could only hold the camp.
After all, his strength was indeed extremely formidable; Gonggong alone could fight him to a standstill.
With the addition of two demon saints assisting him, Xing Tian was also incredibly brave.
Although he had many elders and priests under his command, none of them were masters comparable to Guiche and Jiuying.
Even with everyone working together, they could only hold the camp and prevent it from being forcibly breached by the enemy.
Over these days of fighting, many elders and priests have fallen, making his situation increasingly dire.
He was just about to send a message to the rear, preparing to ask Hu Lefa to send some experts to help, but he didn't expect Guzhu to arrive first.
After personally inviting Gu Zhu to sit down in the central command tent, Chi Songzi ordered all the generals to come and pay their respects.
They had barely sat down when, just as Chisongzi was about to host a banquet, another soldier came in to report that a Taoist named Tianyi Zhenjun had come to request an audience.
Chisongzi had certainly heard of this person's name.
It is said that he was a subordinate deity of the Human Emperor, and had always been stationed on Penglai Immortal Island for the Human Emperor.
Then, Chishongzi personally went out to greet him once again...
