417 The Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island Show Their G.o.dly Might
The appearance of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island was already very fierce.
Their faces were green, white, red, and black.
Each of them was riding a strange beast. Jiang Ziya hurriedly said, “Ready to follow the four Daoists to have a good chat.”
“You four, what is your background? Where did you come from? how dare you casually join the battle between Western Qi and Great Shang?”
The fourth of the four Saints, Li Xingba, said, “I’ve heard that you, Jiang Ziya, are very mighty in Western Qi. You defeated Zhang Guifang before we arrived. So, the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island have come to meet you and see what kind of ability you have.”
Jiang Ziya said to the four Saints when he saw that his soldiers had lost their will to fight, “Seeing the strength of the four great Immortals, I know I’m no match for you. What conditions do you have?”
The four Saints discussed for a while and sent the soldiers beside them to ask for Deng Jiugong’s opinion. Only then did the eldest w.a.n.g Mo speak to Jiang Ziya.
“You only need to agree to three of our conditions. First, Western Qi will submit to Shang. Second, open the warehouse and pay compensation. Third, let Ji Chang be imprisoned by himself. Our army will return to the capital to meet the Human Emperor.”
Jiang Ziya thought for a while and replied, “I still need to discuss this matter with the people of my Western Qi. Can you give me three days?”
The four Saints agreed to Jiang Ziya’s request.
Jiang Ziya immediately retreated to the camp.
When Jiang Ziya returned to the palace of Western Qi, he saw Ji Chang’s old body about to enter the cage. Jiang Ziya hurried to stop him. He said, “Great king, why are you doing this?”
Ji Chang replied, “The four Daoists in the Shang army are extraordinary. Prime Minister, please allow me to be imprisoned in this carriage and go to the capital to atone.”
Jiang Ziya quickly explained, “The reason I agreed to help those four people just now was actually to delay the war. I will immediately return to the Jade Virtual Realm, see my Master, and ask for his help.”
After saying that, Jiang Ziya helped Ji Chang out.
Ji Chang asked Jiang Ziya and was finally relieved. After consoling Ji Chang, Jiang Ziya rode a cloud and headed for the Jade Mirage world.
At the Jade Virtual Realm…
The moment Jiang Ziya arrived, he ran into White Crane. “Junior Brother Ziya, please go in. Master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Jiang Ziya was not surprised. He walked into the Jade Palace directly to meet Primordial Lord Yuanshi.
He knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. “Disciple Jiang Ziya greets Master.”
Primordial Lord Yuanshi waved his hand and said as he sat on the futon, “Get up.”
Jiang Ziya stood up and was about to tell him about the battle with the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, but Primordial Lord Yuanshi cut him off.
“I already know that w.a.n.g Mo and the other three from Nine Dragons Island acted against the heavens and helped the Shang to attack Western Qi. You don’t know that the four of them are riding on the four beasts.”
“This is the time when all the beasts pay their respects to the heavens. There are nine kinds of dragons, and they have different colors. Since they are of the dragon species, they naturally have the majesty of the Dragon. Ordinary horses naturally can’t stand it. Fine, I’ll give you my mount, the Sacred Deer.
Then, he looked at White Crane beside him.
White Crane naturally understood and quickly brought the Sacred Deer over.
Primordial Lord Yuanshi thought for a while and ordered South Pole Immortal Weng to take out a wooden whip, which was three feet, six inches, and five centimeters long and had 21 sections. Each section had four runes, making it a total of 84 runes.
This was the tribulation-transcending treasure of the great tribulation, the G.o.d-Striking Whip.
Primordial Lord Yuanshi said slowly, “When you go to the North Sea, someone will be waiting for you. Also, this spiritual treasure, the Zhongyang Wuji Apricot Flag, will be given to you for protection.”
The apricot flag had flown back to the hands of Primordial Lord Yuanshi when Di Xin’s sea of consciousness formation was broken.
Of course, you could also use the Jade Star Map to occupy the apricot flag.
The main reason was that you were afraid of offending Primordial Lord Yuanshi too much and causing him to come looking for you personally.
You don’t have the strength to face a Saint right now.
Jiang Ziya was very happy now that he had obtained supreme treasures and a mount. After taking the apricot flag, he left.
White Crane who was holding the Sacred Deer said as he walked out, “This is our Master’s mount. It’s not like a dragon, a tiger, a deer, or a dog, but it has the power of a dragon, the courage of a tiger, the spirit of a deer, and the loyalty of a dog. In the air, in the water, on land, you can walk as if you are flying, and you can travel millions of miles in a day.”
Jiang Ziya rode on the Sacred Deer and patted its horn. The beast flew out of the realm in a flash of red light. The bell rang loudly as it flew toward the human world.
As they pa.s.sed by the North Sea, they suddenly saw a tall mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a strange cloud rolled up, and a wind blew wherever the cloud pa.s.sed.
The Dragon-Bearded Tiger said to Jiang Ziya, “I’m going to eat you.”
Jiang Ziya counted on his fingers and realized that the Dragon-Bearded Tiger had a master-disciple relationship with him.
He didn’t intend to waste time talking, so he directly took out the apricot flag, poured his magical power into it, and threw the apricot flag.
The apricot-yellow flag instantly enlarged and flew towards the Dragon-Bearded Tiger. Before the Dragon-Bearded Tiger could react, it was tightly surrounded by the apricot-yellow flag, unable to move.
At this time, Jiang Ziya took out the G.o.d-Striking Whip and walked toward the Dragon-Bearded Tiger with one hand holding the whip and the other forming a thunder seal.
Seeing Jiang Ziya’s killing intent, the Dragon-Bearded Tiger hurriedly shouted, “Great Immortal, please spare my life! Shen Gongbao, you lied to me.”
Jiang Ziya asked directly when he heard Shen Gongbao’s name, “How did my Junior Brother Shen Gongbao lie to you?”
The Dragon-Bearded Tiger saw Jiang Ziya stop and quickly replied, “I’m a Dragon-Bearded Tiger. I was born in Shaohao, and I’ve collected the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth and received the essence of Yin and Yang. A few days ago, Shen Gongbao pa.s.sed by here and told me that if I ate a piece of Jiang Ziya’s flesh, my magical power would increase by 10,000 years.”
Hearing that, Jiang Ziya could not help but sigh. ‘Junior Brother Shen Gongbao still did not forget to cause me trouble…’
Thus, he said to the Dragon-Bearded Tiger, “You worship me as—”
Before Jiang Ziya could finish, the Dragon-Bearded Tiger said, “Master, please accept the bow of your disciple, the Dragon-Bearded Tiger.”
Jiang Ziya said to the Dragon-Bearded Tiger as he kept the apricot flag, “Did you learn any Daoist techniques on this mountain?”
The Dragon-Bearded Tiger knelt down and replied, “This disciple is good at producing stones. If I release them casually, there will be millstones and huge stones. A rain of locusts will hit the mountain, causing dust to fly everywhere. I will release them as I wish.”
Jiang Ziya was overjoyed. If he used this person to raid the camp, he would definitely succeed.
Riding on the Sacred Deer, Jiang Ziya took his newly accepted disciple and happily set off on the road back to Western Qi.
