Chapter 378 Yin Hong Descends the Mountain
Tu Xingsun died.
Xiqi won a great victory.
In the Shang army camp, Yin Jiao overturned a table and angrily cursed:
"That Tu Xingsun is a good-for-nothing who only thinks about beautiful women! He's not even as ambitious as a woman."
He glanced around at the people below him, his gaze unfriendly, and thought to himself:
"How could these mortal generals possibly defeat the Chan Sect members in Zhou's camp?"
Just as he was about to personally take up the Heaven-Turning Seal, the tent flap was lifted from the outside.
A soldier entered with a joyful expression, knelt down, and kowtowed, saying:
"Your Highness, two burly Taoist priests have arrived outside the camp. They say they are from Sanshan Pass."
"Oh?" Yin Jiao stood up and hurriedly ordered, "Quickly bring the person over."
Not long after.
Heavy footsteps sounded outside, and the sound alone indicated that the two men were tall and strong. As soon as they entered, they performed the rituals of cultivators without kneeling.
He simply bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.
The person on the left snorted heavily.
The person on the right let out a heavy "ha".
Yin Jiao looked at the two of them, puzzled, and asked with a furrowed brow:
Who are you?
Zheng Lun and Chen Qi exchanged a glance, then Zheng Lun chuckled and bowed, saying:
"I am a general under Kong Xuan, and I once studied under the master Du'e. Now I have been sent by the general to guard this place."
Yin Jiao was overjoyed.
He then got up and helped the two of them up, asking:
"What skills do you two possess?"
Zheng Lun replied:
“My master, Master Du’e, taught me the two breaths in the acupoints. With a snort from the nose, I can suck out a person’s soul.”
Chen Qi bowed and said:
"What I cultivate is the yellow qi in my abdomen. When I open my mouth and exhale, the yellow qi comes out and can make anyone who sees it lose their soul."
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao repeatedly praised his skill.
He sat comfortably in his tent. Now that a great general had arrived, he no longer needed to bring out a powerful magic weapon like the Heaven-Turning Seal.
"You two have come at the right time. There are many capable people in Xiqi. They just killed Tu Xingsun. At this moment, I, Your Highness, have no one to use. Fortunately, you two have come here. Go and quickly teach Xiqi a lesson."
"Yes!"
The two generals, Heng and Ha, strode towards Xiqi.
They did not muster their troops; their sole purpose was to launch a surprise attack.
The guards inside the tent, all of whom had earned their positions through hard-fought battles, looked grim.
After studying Taoism for a few years, His Highness looked down on ordinary people in the slightest.
Hmph, don't they realize they were also born as mortals? If it weren't for Guang Chengzi saving them and Chi Jingzi rescuing the Second Prince, they would have been killed long before they even escaped Chaoge.
Outside Xiqi Mountain.
Under the instruction of his master Chi Jingzi, Yin Hong went down the mountain with the Yin-Yang Mirror to help Zhou.
Before he even stepped inside, he heard a tiger's roar beside him. He immediately turned his gaze to the side, and a black tiger leaped out from the bushes deep in the jungle.
Shen Gongbao sat on the tiger with a beaming smile and raised his hand:
"Fellow Daoist, please wait, you've come to the wrong place."
Yin Hong looked at him warily, without saying a word.
Shen Gongbao approached gradually and laughed:
"Your Highness, this road leads to Xiqi." He pointed to the opposite road and continued, "The Shang camp is this way."
Yin Hong snorted coldly, seeing that he still remained completely unguarded, and said uprightly:
"I am not some Second Prince! I am going to Xiqi!"
His words not only stunned Shen Gongbao, but also made Yang Jiao, who was hiding in the shadows, look over carefully.
At that time, Yin Hong was just a child under ten years old, but now he has grown into a proper young man.
Just from his tone, Yang Jiao slowly emerged from the shadows.
When Shen Gongbao saw the Mosquito Taoist who was accompanying him, he clearly felt the black-spotted tiger under his crotch freeze for a moment, and then the tiger lowered its head, not daring to make eye contact.
Yin Hong assumed this was yet another lobbyist and his expression turned slightly cold.
Once the shade of the tree had lifted and the sunlight illuminated her features clearly, Yin Hong was initially taken aback, then, after a moment of confusion, immediately recognized her.
His face immediately broke into a joyful smile, and he strode over and knelt heavily on the ground.
"It's Little Fairy! You've grown up. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you right away."
After saying this, Yin Hong touched his head to the ground and bowed in gratitude, saying:
"Thank you both for intervening back then and buying some time, which allowed Master to come to our rescue. If it weren't for your appearance that day, my brother and I would have been nothing but bones by now."
He spoke sincerely, his tone devoid of any resentment, and he remembered every bit of kindness he had received.
Yang Jiao sighed. Guang Chengzi was too upright and honest, not as good as the one taught by Chi Jingzi.
At least, they are grateful.
Seeing Yang Jiao emerge, Shen Gongbao dared not use his power to persuade her any further, and only said:
"His Highness the First Prince is already in command at the camp. Is His Highness the Second Prince really not going?"
Upon hearing that Yin Jiao had not gone to Xiqi but instead entered the Shang camp, Yin Hong's expression immediately changed drastically.
"really?"
"Indeed, His Highness is the heir to the Shang Dynasty, so of course he is in the Shang camp."
Shen Gongbao finished speaking.
Yin Hong's hands were already clenched into fists. He got up from the ground and said to Yang Jiao again:
"Please wait a few days, my benefactor. I'll go find my elder brother and ask him what's going on."
Then, looking anxious, he headed towards the business camp.
Shen Gongbao looked at Yang Jiao, then raised his hand to take his leave. As he passed by, he kindly remarked:
"They are the king's sons, and the world belongs to the two brothers. You are still young and naturally do not understand the taste of power. Yin Hong does have some integrity, but it's a pity. Once he enters the Shang camp and sees the power that originally belonged to him, he will no longer think about Xiqi and Chan Sect."
He had a confident expression on his face.
Although Yang Jiao didn't say anything, how could Mosquito Taoist see Yang Jiao being humiliated?
He immediately let out a "hoho" in Shen Gongbao's direction, and the black-spotted tiger under his mount was instantly terrified, its fur standing on end.
It tucked its tail between its legs, meowed, and darted away quickly.
Shen Gongbao was jolted so badly he almost fell to the ground.
Yang Jiao chuckled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Is Yin Hong really going to follow the same path as the Investiture of the Gods?
At the same time, the two energies of Yin and Yang suddenly exploded in Qishan.
The explosion shattered the city gates.
Mosquito Taoist and Yang Jiao exchanged a glance and hurriedly flew over.
