Chapter 368 Rescue Ji Chang
Wen Zhong already knew his master's true nature, and he was in a real bind. "If Your Majesty has offended you in any way, your disciple is willing to take the blame on your behalf. Please be lenient."
I just beg you not to cause any more trouble.
Tongtian glanced down at Wen Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, and then at the several disciples and grand-disciples who had knelt down to try and stop him. He said incredulously, "Do I look like I'm here to cause trouble?"
Wen Zhong nodded, and Shen Gongbao and the others followed suit. They were terrified; they were sure they were going to cause trouble for the king.
Tongtian rarely reflected on himself, "Don't worry, this leader fell in love with your king at first sight, this is to please your king."
Even today, Tongtian still can't distinguish between friendship and love.
Tongtian's words were like a heavy hammer, and Wen Zhong and the others almost had their heads explode. "Master, this is more like lust at first sight. Don't try to make yourself look good."
"Heavenly rules strictly forbid immortals from having thoughts of mortal life." Yang Jian boldly looked up at the Tongtian Sect Leader, a glimmer of hope in his heart. If the Sage personally intervened and went to the Heavenly Emperor to discuss revising the Heavenly Rules, would it be possible to succeed?
“That’s true,” Tongtian glanced at Yang Jian, “Heavenly rules govern immortals, not saints.”
Tong Tianxia Ba Weiyang said, "As long as His Majesty is interested in me, I am not afraid of trouble. So what if it is riddled with holes? It's a small matter and it can't sway me."
After saying that, Tongtian strode away.
"Master..." Wen Zhong hurriedly got up and chased after him. He couldn't go and bother their king anymore. Didn't he see that the king's face was completely black?
Yang Jian silently recited the Heavenly Rules, which govern immortals but not saints. As for strength, if he had the supreme cultivation to change the world, how could he be defeated by a mere Li Mountain?
"Yang Jian, don't think about it. The leader is different from you. Even if the leader punches a hole in the sky, it's not a big deal. Don't listen to nonsense or do anything reckless, or someone will die. Didn't you hear what the leader said? Even he would be punished by heaven, riddled with holes. That punishment is not light." Guang Chengzi warned Yang Jian in advance, just in case.
Junior Brother Yu Ding entrusted Yang Jian to him, so he absolutely cannot let anything happen to him.
Yang Jian composed himself, knowing that Guang Chengzi was right. "Master, should we follow?"
"No need. The Jie Sect is committed to protecting the Yin Shang Dynasty, and its members serve in the Yin Shang. Their karma is already deep, and they can hardly extricate themselves from it. On the other hand, we are committed to protecting Xiqi and overthrowing King Zhou's rule. Our positions are different from those of the Jie Sect, so it's better not to work together."
Guang Chengzi realized that his purpose in coming to Chaoge was to rescue Ji Chang and escort him back to Xiqi to raise an army, overthrow King Zhou's tyranny, and restore peace and order to the people.
"Saving lives is the priority." Guang Chengzi decided to rescue Ji Chang first, and then return to Kunlun Mountain to apologize to his master.
Although his uncle had kept quiet and the matter wouldn't get out, he had mistaken his master for someone else, an undeniable fact, and had no choice but to return to the mountain to apologize.
"Yes, Master." Yang Jian decided to prioritize his mission. His task was to transform into Ji Chang and live in Chaoge City in his place, buying more time for Ji Chang and Xiqi.
Guang Chengzi and Yang Jian arrived at the Star-Picking Tower. Looking at the two identical towers, Guang Chengzi used his divine sense to find Ji Chang, who had a troubled expression.
“There’s a Taiyi Golden Immortal watching over us. Let’s go, proceed according to plan.” Guang Chengzi entered stealthily, and Yang Jian first transformed into a jade hairpin, which Guang Chengzi then concealed in his sleeve.
“Ji Chang…” Guang Chengzi called softly.
"Who are you?" Ji Chang asked in a low voice.
"Your rescuer, come with me!" The moment Guang Chengzi transformed Ji Chang into a jade hairpin, Yang Jian transformed from the jade hairpin into Ji Chang.
"Yang Jian, I'm sorry to trouble you. I don't know if there are any hidden dangers in this Star-Picking Tower, so I had no choice but to resort to this. You should try to escape Chaoge on your own when you feel it's about time," Guang Chengzi instructed.
"Rest assured, Master, Yang Jian understands." Yang Jian knew that he had to make a name for himself before he could talk about saving his mother, and he was willing to do anything dangerous.
The moment Guang Chengzi led Ji Chang out of the Star-Picking Tower, the surrounding environment distorted.
"Oh no, it's a formation." Guang Chengzi never expected that Ji Chang himself would be the one to trigger the hidden move.
Yang Jian made a quick decision and followed suit, stepping out of the Star-Picking Tower. "Master, you hurry up and go. I'll hold them off."
“Wait, I’ve seen this formation before,” Guang Chengzi calmed down, looked around, and said with certainty, “It’s the Ten Deadly Formations. Although this formation is extremely powerful, its weaknesses are also obvious. Let me tell you…”
Yang Jian listened and nodded, actually letting himself be captured by the formation in exchange for creating an opening, which Guang Chengzi seized the opportunity to break through the formation and escape.
Today, Bai Liji, who was guarding the position, captured Zhaixinglou and reported Ji Chang's intention to escape to Chang Haoyu.
As soon as Chang Hao returned to the palace, Quan Chang immediately brought him the memorial that contained the matter.
"This is outrageous!" Chang Hao threw the memorial on the ground after reading it. He couldn't help but suspect that the leader of the Jie Sect was keeping him occupied in order to get Ji Chang to return to Xiqi and start a formal war between Yin Shang and Xiqi.
In this chaotic battle between gods and men, what have the common people done wrong...?
"Ji Chang has escaped..." Chang Hao was indignant. Thinking back to the moment when the Jie and Chan sects seemed to be getting along well on the mountaintop, he became even more suspicious that this was a conspiracy by the immortals and gods against the human race.
Yang Jian...
Chang Hao suddenly sneered. If you like impersonating Ji Chang, then he'll let you impersonate him to your heart's content.
"Someone, summon Ji Chang." They can't catch the real Ji Chang, but replacing him with Yang Jian doesn't seem like a bad deal.
For some reason, Yang Jian's eyelids kept twitching.
Bai Li said irritably, "Marquis of Xibo, His Majesty summons you to the palace."
Yang Jian knew then that bad luck was coming.
"Greetings, Your Majesty..." Yang Jian dutifully played the role of the Marquis of Xibo.
"My dear minister, there's no need for such formalities." Chang Hao, showing respect to his subordinates, walked around the imperial desk and personally helped the 'Marquis of Xibo' to his feet.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Jian was somewhat surprised. Wasn't it said that the Marquis of Xibo had suffered inhuman abuse in Chaoge? This didn't seem like it.
"The other day, the doctor came to report that the Marquis of Xibo had caught a cold. I wonder if he is feeling better today?" Chang Hao asked with concern.
"Cough, cough," Yang Jian coughed twice, covering his mouth. "I'm fine now, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"That's very good. As soon as the Marquis of Xibo arrived in Chaoge, he fell ill. He was sick every three days and seriously ill every two days. I really dare not let the Marquis of Xibo return to Xiqi while he is ill. I hope the Marquis of Xibo will not blame me for forcing you to stay in Chaoge to recuperate." Chang Hao inadvertently pointed out his intention. He could easily fool people.
"How could I blame Your Majesty?" Yang Jian said stiffly. Why did it feel like this King Zhou's concern was all from the bottom of his heart? Was it just his imagination?
"I know that the Marquis of Xibo is concerned about Xiqi. As soon as he recovered from his illness, he couldn't wait to go back. He was worried that I would keep him here, so he wanted to leave without saying goodbye. However, the Marquis of Xibo cannot travel overnight. So, in three days, it will be the birthday of the Goddess Nuwa. Why don't you wait until you have worshipped the Goddess Nuwa before returning to Xiqi?"
"What does the Marquis of Xibo think?" Chang Hao was so reasonable. In comparison, Ji Chang, who was suspicious and had a real disloyal heart, and Xiqi, who secretly intended to establish itself, inevitably became detestable.
