Chapter 569: Jin Ting Daxian's Loyalty
The demon god with flames burning all over his body turned around and looked at Tang Jie and those rampant gods.
He raised the tree crown in his hand high and smashed it down into the Wutong formation.
Tang Jie felt a chill in his heart, thinking that his life would end here.
At this moment, another gap appeared in the void. The Immortal Jin Ting swung the moon-phase instrument, and a black moon appeared in the void, swallowing the treetops and even the entire arm that the demon had dropped.
Dense spells immediately crawled up the demon's arm, even spreading to his shoulders and head.
Wherever the spell passed, the demon's arm immediately turned gray.
The evil fire was extinguished and covered with frost.
Tang Jie was overjoyed and said, "Great victory, Commander!"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a shout in his ear: "What are you yelling about? Run!"
Tang Jie shuddered in shock, and dispatched the Five Channel Formation, raising the water wheel to draw in all the rampant gods, throwing them into the formation like a wave.
The array disk was spinning in the middle, and was transformed into its original form by Tang Jie and held in the air. It followed the direction where the moon phase instrument shone, riding on the clouds and mist, and fled without daring to look back.
The array was still trying to gather the power of the demon, but Black Moon couldn't hold on any longer.
Fire flashed in the demon god's eyes, and a loud noise suddenly came out of his mouth, shattering the black moon.
The arm wrapped in the spell turned into flying smoke and was swallowed by the black moon.
The demon looked at his empty right arm, roared, and stretched out his left hand to grab into the void.
Five smoke pillars stretched out from the void and collided violently with the left hand of the demon god. The demon god's left hand was lifted up by the smoke pillars, and the smoke pillars also flew back at a faster speed, breaking through the void at an even faster speed and escaping.
On the way of escape, he did not forget to roll up the dragon, and disappeared in a moment.
"hateful!"
Tang Jie was swept up by the smoke, as if pushed by a huge force, and came into the human world.
The wind was cold and snow had already started falling.
In the shade of the mountain, the pines and cypresses are not as lush as those in the sunny area, but they still survive the frost.
Tang Jie was still in shock and looked at the Immortal Jin Ting. The Immortal Jin Ting did not look good. His face was pale to begin with, and now it was even paler than snow.
Tang Jie held the formation plate in his mouth and handed it to the Great Immortal Jin Ting. He took it with one hand and put it in his sleeve.
Tang Jie transformed into a human form and asked, "Commander, how are you?"
The Immortal Jin Ting's eyes sparkled as stars as he said, "It was just a minor injury. After all these years, these evil spirits and demons still have such abilities."
Tang Jie was still terrified and said, "That ghost fire is truly terrifying. Even water magic can't stop it."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "That is divine fire, and also divine wrath. It is an evil fire transformed by divine power. It is not that it cannot be controlled by water magic, but you are not strong enough."
Tang Jie asked, "Commander, what should we do next? With our current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to subdue these evil spirits and demons."
The Immortal Jin Ting sighed softly and said, "If I had the cultivation level of the fourth rank, I would be confident. Now, I can only ask the two great kings to take action personally."
Tang Jie's heart suddenly jumped. "We haven't accomplished our mission this time, and we've already lost many soldiers and generals. If we ask the two kings for help, won't we be punished?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "It's alright. We lost some soldiers, but we also found out the enemy's strength, so it can't be considered a lack of merit."
"If we can subdue these evil spirits and bring them under our command, the kings will no longer have to worry about having no one to serve them."
Tang Jie naturally couldn't say no, everything was based on the advice of Jin Ting Daxian.
He didn't even return to Wuning, but set up camp in the town of Zhenshan. After settling down and recounting the troops, Tang Jie sighed with heartache.
Just by taking a look, many rampant gods died. A rough calculation showed that nearly a thousand were lost.
Originally, there were 10,000 Water Tribe gods, but later there were only 6,000 left, and now there are only 5,000 left, which is half gone.
These were all Tang Jie's subordinates, many of whom he had personally led. Even disregarding emotions, the more soldiers and horses one had, the greater the magic power.
Now, half of his wealth is gone. What's even more distressing is that although the soldiers and horses were rewarded for their merits, he only received some incense rewards. From beginning to end, there has been no substantial progress in his status.
From the beginning to the end, he followed the Great Immortal Jin Ting, so he understood that it was normal for people to die in a war, and the Great Immortal Jin Ting also protected them a lot, so this could not be blamed on the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
But what did they gain from all this hard work? They received more incense offerings, but the territory they used to collect the incense offerings was conquered by them. The two cannot be compared.
If he could climb up through his merits, he wouldn't mind losing troops and generals. But now he couldn't climb up, and his men were gone. The power he controlled was not increasing, but decreasing.
He gradually realized that human life is worthless, even Tang Jie's own life is worthless.
Dijia didn't know what he was thinking, and thought he was still frightened. He smiled and said, "When the two kings come and subdue these evil spirits and evil gods, I'm afraid we will even have to serve as ministers in the same palace."
Tang Jie sighed and said, "It's a pity that so many soldiers died in vain."
Di Jia said: "It's all for the greater cause, and it's a worthy death."
Tang Jie looked at Di Jia with a complicated expression, thinking to himself, "What if one day this great cause falls upon you, causing you to die a worthy death?"
He shuddered, terrified of his inevitable fate.
At this time, Jin Ting Daxian had already returned to Gusu.
Instead of going directly to Tongze and King Tongji who were nearby, he went to Shangfang Mountain to look for King Tonghui.
King Tonghui was very surprised and asked, "Why are you back?"
The Immortal Jin Ting then informed him of the evil spirits and demons that were guarding the mountain, saying, "Those evil spirits and demons were born in ancient times. If we can subdue them, we won't be left without anyone to use. However, this group of evil spirits and demons is not easy to deal with, so I'll ask the king for his decision."
King Tonghui was suddenly stunned.
In front of the Great Immortal Jin Ting, the divine light in his eyes disappeared.
The Immortal Jin Ting knew that he was using his magical powers to observe fate. He didn't dare to make a decision on whether these evil spirits were useful, whether they should be subdued, whether there would be danger, and whether it was worth the risk without seeing them.
It is precisely because of this that the Great Immortal Jin Ting came to find him.
After all, if he went to invite the two kings on his own initiative without going through King Tonghui, and something went wrong, King Tonghui would definitely blame him.
But if King Tonghui uses his supernatural powers to observe and thinks it is feasible, and orders Immortal Jinting to do it, then if something happens to the two kings, it will not be the Immortal Jinting's business.
The Immortal Jin Ting just told the truth about what he saw and heard. The five thousand rampant gods can testify to this, King Tonghui's trusted general Tang Jie can testify to this, and King Tongyou's trusted and capable minister Di Jiaye can testify to this. No one can say that he has any bad intentions.
God is my witness. The bewitching spider on the body of the Jin Ting Immortal can prove that he is loyal.
