What?
Has this lord been caught in the crossfire?!
When Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, heard Gao Ming and Gao Jue shouting, his heart skipped a beat.
Just what I feared most has come to pass!
Just a few days ago, he received news of the return of the Great Shang Ancestor, and he couldn't help but worry that his secret preparations for starting a rebellion might be exposed.
After all, according to rumors, the Great Shang Ancestor was practically omnipotent.
As the saying goes, "A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow." When Ji Chang saw the return of the Great Shang Ancestor, he, with a guilty conscience, was naturally a little afraid.
Ji Chang had consulted the oracle before his trip to Chaoge to pay homage.
He saw from the divination that the trip would be very auspicious, so he happily brought his people over.
Ji Chang never expected that he would be surrounded by the Xuan Bird Guards, who were directly under the Great Shang Ancestor, as soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array!
What kind of auspicious omen is this?
I'm clearly very good at divination, so how could I have gotten such a big error in the hexagram?
What force exactly influenced my divination?
......
Ji Chang looked at the Black Bird Guards who had surrounded him and his group, his heart churning with shock.
Of course, he is shrewd and has great composure.
Despite being extremely shocked, he forced himself to remain calm and think of a solution.
"Although I don't know why the divination results are like this, the fact that the Black Bird Guard wants to capture me does not mean that I am going to suffer a great calamity."
"After all, I am the chosen one!"
"Where destiny leads, good fortune will surely prevail!"
"Now, I must remain calm!"
My thoughts raced like lightning.
With acting skills surpassing those of an award-winning actor, Ji Chang feigned the grief and indignation of a loyal minister wronged, and angrily rebuked the Black Bird for defending the Way:
"My loyalty to the Shang Dynasty is as clear as heaven and earth!"
"Who instructed you to frame me like this!"
......
Beside Ji Chang.
Each member of the Xiqi team shouted:
"Who doesn't know that Bo Hou is utterly loyal to the Great Shang? How can you wrong him like this?"
Seeing that Ji Chang was not afraid, but instead angrily rebuked himself.
The all-seeing expert, Gao Ming, immediately smiled:
"Pah!"
"You old scoundrel Ji Chang, stop pretending!"
"You? A loyal minister? What a ridiculous joke!"
"The Holy Ancestor personally ordered us to arrest you, this traitor who has brought chaos to the country. How can you possibly have any room for excuses?"
Upon hearing Gao Ming's words, Ji Chang was greatly shocked.
As expected of the Holy Ancestor!
But how did he know that he wanted to overthrow the Shang Dynasty?
I was being so careful!
He had only just returned to Da Shang!
Although Ji Chang kept brainwashing himself, he believed that he was the chosen one and had nothing to fear from the Holy Ancestor.
However, how could Yin Zicheng's prestige, accumulated over hundreds of years, be ignored by a moment of brainwashing?
Ji Chang held Yin Zicheng in high esteem.
He hurriedly tried to comfort himself:
Don't panic!
"So what if he's the Holy Ancestor? I've memorized the laws of the Great Shang Dynasty. As long as the Holy Ancestor can't produce any substantial evidence, he can't do anything to me!"
......
Ji Chang, clinging to a sliver of hope, was imprisoned by the Xuan Niao Guards.
On the other side.
Daji and Jin Ning followed Yin Zicheng and successfully passed through the spatial portal into the family's sacred ground.
Seeing the family's sacred land, so magnificent that it far surpassed even Nuwa's palace, Daji and Jin Ning were completely stunned.
"Heavens! There is such a blessed land in the world? It's unbelievable!"
The family's sacred ground is filled with spiritual energy of extreme purity;
The laws that are directly manifested between heaven and earth, and that people can intuitively understand;
A magnificent building that seems to be formed from the convergence of the Great Way...
Everything deeply shocked Daji and Jin Ning!
Daji was just a little fox who had cultivated for ten thousand years and had little experience, so she was completely stunned.
As a princess of the Phoenix Clan, and having followed the Goddess Nuwa for many years, Jin Ning was well-informed and experienced, yet she was still deeply shocked.
However, she was more knowledgeable and had a stronger will, so she recovered her senses faster than Daji.
After regaining her senses, Jin Ning's eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly:
"Senior Brother Zicheng, where...where is this place?"
Yin Zicheng replied with a smile:
"Jin Ning, this is the sacred ancestral land of our Shang Dynasty, the Yin family. Isn't it impressive? You and Daji will get used to it after you come here a few more times."
"Come on, I'll show you around."
......
Yin Zicheng acted as a guide, leading Daji and Jin Ning on a tour of the family's sacred land.
As they strolled around, he introduced the family's buildings to the two of them, including the Family Temple, Mission Temple, Alchemy Temple, Weapon Forging Temple, and the Treasure Pavilion of the Heavens.
The wonder of each family building left Daji and Jin Ning feeling like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, exclaiming in disbelief.
When Yin Zicheng introduced the Zhutian Treasure Pavilion.
The vast and boundless cosmic sea, the trillions of different worlds, and the endless treasures of the heavens greatly shocked and broadened the horizons of Daji and Jinling.
It's no exaggeration to say that my worldview was completely shaken.
"I only realized today that we were just frogs in a well before!"
"We are fortunate to have become the Daoist partners of the Holy Ancestor/Senior Brother Zicheng, which is why we can see such a vast world!"
Looking at the trillions of worlds connected by the Treasure Pavilion of the Heavens, Daji and Jin Ning expressed their heartfelt feelings.
......
After the Hall of Treasures, the Hall of Heroes brought a great shock to Daji and Jin Ning.
They both believed that by becoming Yin Zicheng's Daoist partners, they could be bound to the Hall of Heroes and achieve indirect immortality, which was the good fortune Yin Zicheng spoke of.
