Jiang Ziya, who fled to Xiqi, had no time to go fishing in the Wei River. After all, even Ji Chang died in Chaoge, so it was estimated that no one would invite him.

So he went directly to Xibohou Mansion in Xiqi City and stated his identity, wanting to see the eldest son Bo Yikao.

At this time, Bo Yikao was preparing to go to Chaoge City. In order to bring his father back smoothly, he even prepared three generous gifts.

As for the gold and silver, he even pulled several carts to bribe the officials in Chaoge City so that they could help him plead with Emperor Xin to let Ji Chang return to Xiqi.

But before Bo Yikao could set off, someone came to report that a Taoist had come to the outside of the palace, claiming to be a disciple of the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain. His surname was Jiang, his given name was Shang, his courtesy name was Ziya, and his Taoist name was Feixiong.

After hearing this, Bo Yikao couldn't help but frowned, and then he said to Ji Fa beside him: "Second brother, you should go meet Jiang Ziya. It's time for me to set off too."

Ji Fa nodded, and then walked out of the mansion. Not long after, he saw Jiang Ziya waiting outside the door.

After some politeness, he asked Jiang Ziya about his purpose. Jiang Ziya did not beat around the bush and immediately told him about the events in Chaoge City.

Knowing that his father was in danger, Ji Fa's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He immediately took Jiang Ziya to the Marquis's mansion.

However, Ji Fa did not bring Jiang Ziya to Bo Yikao, nor did he tell Bo Yikao anything about Chaoge City.

So at the same time when Jiang Ziya entered the marquis's mansion, Bo Yikao also set out for Chaoge City with his entourage.

Jiang Ziya knew nothing about this, and was arranged by Ji Fa to live in the Marquis's mansion. He stayed there for seven days, and never saw Bo Yikao.

Even during these seven days, Ji Fa did not show up. Only someone came to deliver food to Jiang Ziya on time.

Jiang Ziya was also very puzzled by this, and didn't understand what Xiqi was saying. He even suspected that he was being looked down upon.

He did not think that he had any talent, but just thought of himself as a Taoist priest who was just trying to make a living. That was why he stayed in the mansion and only cared about his three meals a day.

Little did he know that Ji Fa was also very nervous at this time. He asked the man in black in front of him, "Where is my elder brother?"

"Reporting to the Second Young Master, the First Young Master has now arrived at Sishui Pass. It is estimated that he will be able to pass through Sishui Pass and enter the Dashang territory smoothly today."

Hearing that Bo Yikao had finally left Xiqi and entered the Shang Dynasty, Ji Fa couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He nodded to the visitor and said.

"Everything is done according to the plan. Anyway, I don't want him to return to Xiqi."

When he spoke, Ji Fa's face was full of coldness, without a trace of emotion at all.

The person who came just nodded, then used his escape technique to leave.

After sending the visitor away, Ji Fa couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother, you can't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

"After all, Xiqi can only have one master. This master can only be me, Jifa, not you, Bo Yikao."

After finishing speaking, Ji Fa stood up and went to Jiang Ziya's residence. After all, it was time to meet Jiang Ziya.

At this time, Bo Yikao had already arrived at Sishui Pass. He first sent someone to deliver his name card, hoping that Han Rong, the general of Sishui Pass, would let him pass.

However, Han Rong, who received Bo Yikao's name card, did not immediately send someone to open the city gate for Bo Yikao. Instead, he went directly to the back house of his own general's mansion.

Arriving at the backyard, Han Rong knocked gently on a door and said, "Senior Kong, Bo Yikao is going to enter Sishui Pass." As Han Rong's voice sounded, the door opened. Then Kong Xuan walked out of the room.

And he said directly to Han Rong: "You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I will take action to solve this matter myself."

After saying this, Kong Xuan disappeared from the spot and headed directly outside Sishui Pass.

Why did Kong Xuan appear at Sishui Pass instead of Sanshan Pass? The reason was that when facing E Shun, the son of E Chongyu, the Marquis of Nanbo, Kong Xuan, the Hunyuan Jinxian, was not needed.

After all, the main battlefield of the entire Conferred God War was all in Xiqi. As for other places, they were just minor pains and itches.

Any general of the Shang Dynasty could keep them under control. Why waste Kong Xuan?

Therefore, Kong Xuan had already received Niu Kui's order and arrived at Sishui Pass a few years ago.

However, he did not replace Han Rong's position as general. He just lived in the general's mansion and helped Han Rong train his troops.

Han Rong also knew Kong Xuan's identity and knew that he was a disciple of the human race's Saint Master Niu Kui. Therefore, he was very respectful to Kong Xuan and would ask him for advice on big and small matters.

Now that he saw Kong Xuan had personally taken care of the matter, Han Rong no longer had anything to worry about and went straight to his own business.

When Kong Xuan arrived outside Sishui Pass, he saw Bo Yikao's convoy, which was waiting at the city gate. Sishui Pass opened the city gate.

At this time, Kong Xuan appeared in front of the caravan and asked Bo Yikao directly, "Are you Bo Yikao, the son of Xibohou Jichang?"

Seeing Kong Xuan blocking the convoy and asking about his identity, Bo Yikao quickly dismounted and came in front of Kong Xuan.

He bowed respectfully first, and then said, "I wonder what this general's name is, and what position he holds in Sishui Pass?"

Kong Xuan looked at Bo Yikao in front of him and said, "Answer my question, are you Bo Yikao? If you are Bo Yikao, then hurry back to Xiqi."

Seeing Kong Xuan's expressionless face, Bo Yikao was also stunned. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I am indeed Bo Yikao."

"This time we are heading to Chaoge City to pay tribute to the king. Now we haven't even entered Sishui Pass, why are we returning to Xiqi?"

Kong Xuan sneered and said, "Your father, Xibohou Jichang, sold out the human race to the Chan Sect. He wanted to use the position of the Human Emperor in exchange for the rise of Xiqi."

"In the end, his actions were exposed and he was directly abandoned by the Chan Sect. Now, the king has punished him according to the law. So it doesn't matter whether you go to Chaoge City or not."

"And the disciples of the Chan Sect have already gone to Xiqi. I believe they should have contacted your brother Jifa by now."

"If you don't return to Xiqi, I'm afraid your brother Ji Fa will declare himself King Wu of Zhou. And you will die without a burial place."

Hearing that his father was dead, Bo Yikao collapsed to the ground and even kept shaking his head.

"Impossible. Before my father left, he had a fortune-teller. The fortune-teller showed that he would be safe. How could he die in Chaoge?"

"Also, hasn't the Chan Sect always supported me? How could it possibly support Ji Fa and make him the King Wu of Zhou?" (End of this chapter)
