Mahasthamaprapta furrowed his brows and said, "Even if we survive the Sealing God Tribulation, won’t my disciples of the Western Sect be inferior to the Chan Sect? This is highly inappropriate!"
"This is Buddha Mother’s intention!"
Mahasthamaprapta coughed and then said, "As cultivators, we should not focus on personal honor or disgrace. Buddha Mother’s wisdom is as deep as the ocean; we are not her equal!"
Mile chuckled and said, "Let’s proceed with this plan, then!"
...
It was when the Shang Army was victorious that the Southern Marquis suddenly defected to West Qi. The two combined forces defeated the Shang Dynasty, capturing several cities instantly and cutting short Bai Jin’s sches.
Within the Three Lights Immortal Island, Bai Jin watched the scenes within the Haotian Mirror and muttered speechlessly, "The Western Sect surrendered so easily? Can’t they show a bit of backbone? This makes things difficult for !
It seems there are indeed individuals of great wisdom and resolve in the Western Sect. Wisdom Sword cuts through chaos, instantly reversing the situation—impressive! Indeed, no one should be underestimated."
Bai Jin stood up and walked outside; his white robes disappeared, transforming into the purple uniform of the Law Enforcent Team, and he vanished into thin air. Monts later, he landed in front of the Law Enforcent Temple and stepped inside.
Inside the Law Enforcent Temple, the on-duty Wuyun Immortal and Feathered Immortal hastily stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Captain."
Bai Jin returned the bow, and the three of them stood up.
Bai Jin said gravely, "During the Sealing God Battle, my Jie Sect has been defeated at every turn, and our disciples have suffered heavy losses, destroying the sect’s reputation.
With the Master humiliated, the disciples must die redeeming themselves. Who among you is willing to descend the mountain for our Jie Sect?"
Both Wuyun Immortal and Feathered Immortal bowed solemnly and said, "We are willing to descend and restore the glory of our Jie Sect."
"Golden Peng!"
Feathered Immortal imdiately stepped forward and said, "Present!"
"I command you to support Wen Zhong, with Yang Jiao and Ao Bing as the vanguard, to defeat the Chan Sect and the Western Sect, settling your personal fate."
"Yes! I will not tarnish the reputation of our Jie Sect," Feathered Immortal responded loudly.
"Follow ," Bai Jin led Feathered Immortal into a room.
Monts later, Feathered Immortal erged and resolutely walked outside.
Inside a city of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong sat in the main seat, with Shen Gongbao and several generals sitting under him in a somber atmosphere.
Wen Zhong angrily shouted, "Old fool Jiang Ziya!"
Shen Gongbao said sadly, "The Mo Family Four Generals fell at the hands of Chan Sect; I have let down the Jie Sect’s Fellow Daoists!"
Wen Zhong comforted him, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need for guilt. It’s the despicable Chan Sect and Western Sect to bla, not related to you."
Boom—a heavy pressure descended from the sky.
The faces of Wen Zhong, Shen Gongbao, and the others changed. Could it be that Jiang Ziya has called for a high-ranking mber from the Chan Sect again? They quickly got up and hurried outside.
Just then, in the sky outside, three figures stood, the middle one a young man in a black robe, handso with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, flanked by two youngsters.
Wen Zhong’s face drastically changed. It was the Law Enforcent Team’s Feathered Immortal. Why had he co? Could it be because of the excessive losses suffered by Jie Sect disciples that the Law Enforcent Team had co to hold him accountable?
Wen Zhong hastily knelt halfway, lowering his head and saying, "Jie Sect disciple Wen Zhong greets Uncle Master Feathered Immortal!"
Other Jie Sect Outer Disciples also bowed and greeted, uneasy speculations in their minds.
Shen Gongbao also bowed, cautiously observing the figure above the clouds, the legendary Law Enforcent Team mber, Feathered Immortal?
As Cloud Head descended, Feathered Immortal spoke gravely, "Rise!"
The assembled followers all stood up.
Feathered Immortal scanned the group gravely and said, "You all have greatly disappointed the elder brother!"
Everyone shivered and quickly bowed deeply, saying, "We are guilty!"
Feathered Immortal sternly asked, "What cri have you committed?"
All the Jie Sect Outer Disciples glanced at each other furtively, then one representative spoke softly, "We should not have left the Jie Sect without permission."
Wen Zhong hurriedly said, "Master Uncle, forgive us, it was my idea to ask them to co out."
"Whether you leave or not is your own decision, the Law Enforcent Team won’t interfere with your choices, but how could you tarnish the reputation of our Jie Sect?! Losing battle after battle, do you even deserve to be called disciples of the Jie Sect?" Feathered Immortal roared.
"Eh~ All the Jie Sect Disciples were stunned. Are we not being punished for leaving the Jie Sect without permission? What’s going on? It seems our senior brother does not oppose us coming to battle?" Feelings of sha surged within them as they realized their consecutive losses had tarnished the reputation of the Jie Sect.
Wen Zhong tentatively asked, "Master Uncle, what do you an?"
"Go and challenge them!"
Wen Zhong imdiately responded with joy, "Yes!"
The other Jie Sect Disciples were also ecstatic, the Law Enforcent Team actually took action.
...
Inside the West Qi Camp, Ji Fa sat in the main seat, with Jiang Ziya, Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and other third generation disciples of the Chan Sect sitting on his left.
On his right sat Riguang, Moonlight, Jin Naluo, and other Western Sect Disciples.
Ji Fa said with a smile, "Pri Minister, now that Wen Zhong’s forces are hiding within the city walls and unwilling to fight, what should we do?"
Stroking his beard, Jiang Ziya said with a smile, "No worries, I already have a strategy in mind."
Nezha boasted confidently, "The entire Shang Army is so weak that they can’t withstand a single blow, and those so-called Immortal Gods they invited are also extrely weak."
Li Jing admonished, "Nezha, don’t be careless! There are always more powerful figures in the world, and countless extraordinary people. It’s best to be cautious in all matters."
Nezha casually replied, "Got it, got it."
Moonlight Bodhisattva said with a smile on the right, "At this rate, it won’t be long before we break through Chao Ge and rescue the people from dire straits."
"Ha ha~" Ji Fa laughed heartily, "Thanks to the efforts of various Immortal lords, Ji Fa, on behalf of all the suffering people, thank you, Immortal lords."
Ji Fa stood up and bowed.
Seated generals and ministers also stood up and returned the bow, then sat back down in their respective places.
Li Jing asked, "Pri Minister, what is the counterasure you spoke of?"
Jiang Ziya said with a smile, "Seeing that Wen Zhong avoids battle, we only need to use an earth-moving technique to open an underground tunnel straight into the city, and then we can launch a surprise attack at night, which will surely throw the Shang camp into chaos and lead to the city’s fall!"
Li Jing nodded, "This is indeed an excellent tactic."
The Western Sect’s camp also nodded in agreent, thinking that although the Pri Minister might be unlucky at tis, he was excellent at strategizing battle situations.
Ji Fa suddenly asked, "Pri Minister, whose idea was this?"
Jiang Ziya coughed and said, "It was a sudden brilliant idea from my wife", he quickly added, "But I think the success rate is very high."
Li Jing quickly changed the topic, "Actually, I think we should consider it a bit more."
Huang Feihu also hurriedly said, "Pri Minister, I fear there might be an underground river, making it impossible to dig."
Sunlight Bodhisattva quickly added, "I feel there might be huge rocks underground, which would make it impossible to dig through."
Wu Ji said, "Master, digging tunnels might alert Wen Zhong’s forces, and if they set up an ambush, our losses could be heavy."
...
The generals hurriedly spoke up to dissuade him.
Ji Fa, smiling, asked, "Pri Minister, what do you think of this?"
Jiang Ziya, helpless, said, "Since all the generals are against it, let’s put it aside for now! I shall find another way."
All the generals in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, based on past experiences, any suggestion by the Pri Minister’s wife coincidentally led to heavy losses for West Qi, thus, after many painful lessons, all the generals tacitly observed a rule—regardless of how reliable the Pri Minister’s wife’s suggestions sounded, they should never be adopted.
