The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 279 The Battle between Demons
"Nonsense! Su Xiang has made such great contributions to our Shang Dynasty. How could he be an evil demon who has done such evil things?" Emperor Xin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. I don't deny that Su Xiang has made contributions to our Shang Dynasty, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. Su Hong and others must have some plans!" Bigan said sternly.

"Your Majesty..." Some ministers also began to feel uneasy.

"You...you..." Emperor Xin was shaking with anger.

I thought that after eliminating those treacherous ministers, the court would be peaceful, but these people actually thought that Prime Minister Su had ulterior motives.

"Prime Minister Ya, let me ask you a question. Who taught you this method of using white apes to identify evil spirits?" Su Hong said.

"Hmph! I don't want to talk any more with an evil demon like you." Bigan groaned.

"Ya Xiang... this white ape was found by my grandfather by chance," Bo Yikao said, "and has been kept in Xiqi, and I have been feeding it all along.

The white ape does have some magical powers and can identify evil things, but when the white ape first saw Su Xiang, it did not react at all, which shows that Su Xiang is not an evil demon. "

Bigan was stunned when he heard this, then said, "Prince Xibo, you may not know this, but someone told me that if you sprinkle something on a white ape, it will stimulate its ability to discern."

As he said this, he took out the small bottle.

But as soon as he took it out, it flew out of his hand and fell into Yu Xian'er's hand.

Yu Xian'er said with a look of disgust, "No wonder the white ape suddenly went crazy. It turns out it was contaminated by the tiger demon's urine."

"Tiger demon's urine? That's impossible. This method was clearly told to me by the Duke of Xibo. The Duke of Xibo's prince may not know it, but the Duke of Xibo definitely knows it!" Bigan said firmly.

But at this moment, a man suddenly ran in from outside, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there's a message from Youli, Marquis Xibo... Marquis Xibo has escaped..."

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers were shocked.

Especially Bigan, who looked incredulous: "This..."

"What's this? Uncle, haven't you realized that Ji Chang is using you?" Emperor Xin said coldly.

Bigan just felt dizzy and his whole body was shaking.

Emperor Xin no longer paid any attention to him and shouted, "Hurry up and send someone to capture Ji Chang!"

"Oh, and there's Bo Yikao too. If Ji Chang doesn't come back, kill his son!"

He was now very angry, angry at Bigan's presumptuous behavior, and even more annoyed at Ji Chang's use of his uncle.

"Ji Chang...you...why did you lie to me! Why!" Bigan's eyes were bloodshot.

He regarded Ji Chang as a close friend, but the other party only treated him as a chess piece.

In other words, if Su Xiang had not taken action just now, the white ape would have really injured the king!

Thinking of this, Bigan was filled with hatred towards Ji Chang and felt full of apology towards Emperor Xin.

"thump!"

Bigan knelt on the ground.

"I, Bigan, feel so ashamed to live up to my brother's trust!"

He howled and was about to crash into the pillar in the hall, but Shang Rong was quick-witted and blocked Bigan with all his strength.

"Prime Minister Ya, why are you doing this?" Shang Rong sighed, "I've already told you that Prime Minister Su doesn't have any bad intentions. Why are you trying to test him?"

"I...I..." Bigan felt even more ashamed: "Prime Minister Shang, I was wrong. I did something wrong..."

Although he was stopped by Shang Rong, the determination to die in his heart remained unchanged.

"Prime Minister Ya, since you have done something wrong, you can't just die. Your death can indeed prove your loyalty, but what effect will it have?" Su Hong said.

"What you should do is to leave your body behind and make more contributions to the Shang Dynasty to atone for your sins!"

Bigan was speechless.

"Since you think I am not worthy of being the right prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, then I will leave." Su Hong sighed.

"Prime Minister Su!" Emperor Xin's expression changed drastically.

Shang Rong also tried to dissuade him: "Prime Minister Su, the Shang Dynasty has now entered a new era. We can't do without you! Please think twice!"

In the court, some people also thought of Su Hong's kindness and said, "Please think twice, Prime Minister Su."

Even Bigan spoke up at this time: "Prime Minister Su, this is all my fault, not yours."

"In that case, I have a plan," Su Hong asked. "In my Shang Dynasty, we will establish a political affairs hall with five members. In the future, when there are major proposals, the five members of the political affairs hall will vote on them. The winning party will then submit the proposal to the king, who will make the decision. How do you think?"

This was a decision she had made long ago.

Having been in the court for so long, how could she not know the crux of the problem?
So he just tried to find a way to eliminate the ministers' vigilance.

Everyone in the hall nodded frequently. This method prevented one person from making arbitrary decisions to a certain extent.

"I think this method is feasible. Let's try it for a while and then correct the imperfections." Shang Rong nodded.

"Okay, it's settled." Emperor Xin waved his hand.

The people in the hall reached a consensus, and everyone was happy.

Outside Chaoge, Ji Chang was fleeing desperately on a white horse.

After leaving Chaoge, they crossed Mengjin and the Yellow River overnight.

But the pursuers from Chaoge were faster. When Ji Chang looked back, he could vaguely see the dust flying behind him.

"Faster, faster!" Ji Chang urged the horse hard.

But the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.

At this moment, thunder suddenly flashed in the sky.

Then I saw a strange man with cinnabar-like hair, a huge mouth with fangs, and wings on his back swooping down.

Ji Chang was immediately frightened out of his wits.

"My life is over!"

However, at this moment, the strange man actually landed in front of Ji Chang's horse, knelt on one knee and said, "Lei Zhenzi greets father!"

"Father?"

Ji Chang was confused. He had ninety-nine sons, but none of them looked so... ugly!

"Father, don't you remember that four years ago, you picked up a baby in an ancient tomb? I am him!" Lei Zhenzi said.

"It's you! You're the star general!" Ji Chang was overjoyed: "Good! Good! My son."

When he lost the star general, Ji Chang was so upset that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. Now the star general is back?
And this Lei Zhenzi is the Demon God of Thunder.

During these four years, he had found some of his origins, but because he was eager to recover, he acted too hastily, so he looked a little anxious.

As for why he was willing to recognize Ji Chang as his father, he actually had his own considerations.

During these four years, he already knew that Heaven would support Zhou and that Ji Chang had the mandate of Heaven.

Therefore, he wanted to use the identity of Ji Chang's son to make plans, so that he could successfully replace Ji Chang, add luck to himself, and become the man of destiny.

Although Ji Chang had ninety-nine sons, he didn't think anyone could snatch them away from him.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer, and the pursuers were coming soon.

"My son, go quickly and leave with your father." Ji Chang said hurriedly.

"Father, don't worry. I will go meet them!" A fierce look flashed in Lei Zhenzi's eyes, and he spread his wings and headed towards the pursuers.

The two generals who came to arrest Ji Chang were Yin Pobai and Lei Kai.

They were also startled when they saw a scary-looking guy falling from the sky.

"Who is coming?" Generals Yin and Lei shouted.

"I am Lei Zhenzi, the 100th son of King Ji Chang of Xibo. I have come to take your lives!" Lei Zhenzi said.

Yin Pobai and Lei Kai looked at each other.

Although I have heard that Ji Chang has many sons, he shouldn't be so hungry that he will eat anything!
Generals Yin and Lei didn't waste any time and stepped forward to capture Lei Zhenzi, but were knocked to the ground by Lei Zhenzi in one round.

"Go to hell!" Lei Zhenzi was about to strike down with two steel hammers in his hands.

Yin and Lei were terrified. Just when they thought they were going to die, suddenly a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

"call out!"

A whip shadow passed by, and a young girl appeared before them.

That’s right, it’s the tool Su Daji.

"Lust!?" Lei Zhenzi's heart trembled slightly, and then he said coldly, "You and I are both demon gods. I don't want to attack you."

"You don't want to fight me, or you can't beat me?" Su Daji laughed. "I didn't expect that the mighty Thunder God would be willing to be someone's son, and the hundredth one at that."

"Lust, I won't hide it from you. I have a grand plan." Lei Zhenzi wasn't angry. "The Conferred God Tribulation is approaching, and with the help of Heaven, I have a chance to take the position of leader of the human race. Why don't you join me in this grand plan?"

"Come on!" Su Daji said, "I worked with you and died without knowing how. What's more, I am now helping the Shang Dynasty!"

"Are you crazy? God wants to destroy Shang, and you still dare to help Shang?" Lei Zhenzi said sternly.

"What heaven? Do you want Hongjun to ride on your head? I can't do that. As for me, I just want to defy heaven." Su Daji said.

"Then don't regret it! When we meet again, I will never show mercy!" Lei Zhenzi turned around and left.

Although he had recovered a little, he could see that Su Daji was no weaker than him. It would be more trouble than gain to entangle with Su Daji here.

Su Daji looked at Lei Zhenzi's figure and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

If he knew that the unlucky guy who had lost half of his essence was also on Zhou's side, I wonder how he would react.

When Su Daji appeared again, she was already standing next to Sun Wukong.

"Great Sage, the Thunder Demon God is also one of the top 100 demon gods. He has not recovered at this time. Why not take the opportunity to get rid of him?" Su Daji asked.

"Why should we get rid of him? If I can release you, I can let you go back!" Sun Wukong smiled.

Su Daji's body trembled slightly, and she felt more and more awed.

"Master, I only needed to take action just now. I would have given him a hard blow with the five-colored divine light. I haven't fought with the devil yet!" Kong Xuan was eager to try.

Su Daji glared at Kong Xuan imperceptibly and said that she did not fight with the devil, didn't she?
He has the same character as the Great Sage, and doesn't know how to be gentle with women.

"Actually, I'm just trying to confuse them," Sun Wukong said with a smile. "Whether it's the Shang demon or the Chan sect, letting Daji show up today is to give them the wrong message, making them think Daji is the one behind the Shang Dynasty and let their guard down."

Kong Xuan nodded repeatedly in admiration.

Su Daji gritted her teeth and wondered where the Monkey King got so many sinister tricks from.

At the same time, she was glad that she was not an enemy.

"But this is just a little trick. Truly smart people are not so reckless." After Sun Wukong said this, the three of them disappeared.

...Lei Zhenzi returned to Ji Chang and was still a little afraid of Daji.

Then he didn't think much about it and said, "Father, I have already driven those people back."

"Good! Good! You are worthy of being my son and a star general!" Ji Chang felt that he was truly destined to be a man. Even when he was in such a dangerous situation, someone would come to save him.

"Let's go quickly, or there will be more pursuers coming."

After they flew for a while, Lei Zhenzi's expression suddenly changed slightly, his face slightly stern, and then he said, "Father, I have something to do, so I'll leave for a while."

"My son! You..." Ji Chang was anxious. Lei Zhenzi was about to leave as soon as the pursuers retreated. What if he encountered any danger again?
However, before he could finish his words, Lei Zhenzi had already spread his wings and flew away, leaving Ji Chang sighing.

However, they were almost reaching the territory of Xiqi, so Ji Chang hurried on his way.

On a hilltop, Lei Zhenzi landed after flying away. He looked at the young man in front of him and said coldly, "Huang Dao, what do you want from me?"

Just now, he felt the pull of the Imperial Demon God, so he came here.

"Lei, how are you?" Ji Fa smiled.

Beside him stood Kunpeng in a black robe.

Originally, Jifa was not planning to come, but when he heard Kunpeng say that there were traces of the demon, he came.

"Don't try to play tricks on me. Just tell me what you have to do. Don't delay my important business!" Lei Zhenzi said impatiently.

"Big deal? Are you in a hurry to become Ji Chang's son?" Ji Fa laughed.

"Hmph!" Lei Zhenzi groaned.

"This is not a shameful thing. I forgot to tell you that my current identity is Ji Fa, the second son of Xiqi, the direct descendant." Ji Fa looked at Lei Zhenzi.

Lei Zhenzi was suddenly startled and looked alert.

He originally thought that as long as he became the hundredth son of Ji Chang, he would have the right of inheritance, and even be able to obtain the position of the common leader of the human race.

But now it seems that it is not that easy!
"You don't have to look at me like that. It's obvious to me." Jifa said confidently, his hands behind his back, "So don't waste your energy. Destiny won't fall on you."

"You and I are both bodies of demons. In terms of strength, I am not necessarily weaker than you at this moment. Why can't I compete with you?" Lei Zhenzi said angrily.

However, at this moment, Kunpeng beside Jifa smiled.

Feeling the sudden pressure of energy, Lei Zhenzi's expression changed drastically.

Quasi-saint!

And he is not an ordinary quasi-saint!

Seeing this, Lei Zhenzi wanted to escape.

"It's useless. I've already set up a formation here. You can't escape!"

As if to verify what Jifa said, a barrier appeared in this area.

"Lei, even without electricity, you still don't like to use your brain. How can you compete with me like this? No wonder that unlucky guy took away half of your essence in the chaos!"

"You... are despicable!" Lei Zhenzi was furious. "Don't be so complacent. Even if I can't escape, I will self-destruct my Origin. I will definitely not let you suffer!"

"Don't get excited yet. I have something to say, just listen to it." Ji Fa said with a smile, "The Heavenly Dao is now controlled by Hongjun, and it is a great blessing for us demon gods to be able to revive.

Do you know that during this Conferred God Tribulation, Hongjun's plan was for humanity?"

Lei Zhenzi frowned.

"Hongjun supported Zhou in attacking Shang in order to erode humanity's destiny and completely suppress it." Ji Fa glanced at Lei Zhenzi with amusement, "Even if you become the leader of the human race, you can't regain your previous Hunyuan status.

Could it be that you want to be completely inferior to Hongjun?"

"I don't want to!" Lei Zhenzi said in a deep voice.

In the past, Hongjun was a low-ranking existence among the demon gods, and even the Demon God of Thunder didn't even look at him.

But now the situation has changed. Hongjun has become the Taoist Patriarch and started to covet the position of the Great Dao, while they have ended up in such a miserable way.

"That's right." Ji Fa laughed and said, "Let me tell you what I think. The three paths of heaven, earth, and man should be on equal footing. The path of man is no worse than the path of heaven.
If I obtain the destiny, I will first use the power of heaven to strengthen myself, and then control humanity to rebel against heaven, otherwise we will not be able to defeat Hongjun!

Lei, I need your help. If this can be accomplished, in time, it won't be far for you to regain your status as a demon god, and you may even surpass it."

Lei Zhenzi remained silent, but his heart was somewhat shaken.

"Lei, I'm telling you the truth." Ji Fa's voice was full of temptation. "You are not the kind of person who likes to use your brain. Even if you have the destiny, you can't compete with Hongjun. You will only become a pawn in his hands.

You and I are on the same side, how can I treat you unfairly?"

Although Lei Zhenzi was a little annoyed that Ji Fa said that he didn't like to use his brain, that was the fact.

Thunder and lightning coexist among the demons. The demon of thunder is violent, while the demon of lightning is rational.

Without electricity, no matter how powerful the Thunder Demon is, he is just a reckless man with a little cleverness.

After a while, Lei Zhenzi said coldly: "I can cooperate with you temporarily, but you must help me find electricity!"

"Okay!" Ji Fa readily agreed and automatically ignored Lei Zhenzi's words of cooperation.

If such a reckless man joins his army, wouldn't it be easy to order him around?
Kunpeng on the side saw all this and nodded.

Although he was controlled by Jifa, it was undeniable that Jifa was a man capable of doing great things.

"Lei, let me introduce you. This is the demon master Kunpeng. He has reached the peak of the quasi-saint realm. With his help, we have a greater chance of success." Jifa said.

He did this in order to use Kunpeng to intimidate Lei Zhenzi.

When Lei Zhenzi heard the name of Kunpeng, he was indeed afraid, but he still said: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be a traitor from the ancient heaven."

Kunpeng was not annoyed either.

After so long, he has long since become indifferent to everything. Living a long life is the bottom line, so what does face matter?
"Demon Master, I leave the rest of the matters to you. My father should have arrived in Xiqi by now, and I want to go and meet him." Ji Fa said.

"Yes!" Kunpeng turned and left.

Without waiting for Lei Zhenzi to ask, Ji Fa continued, "My father had one hundred sons, two of whom were legitimate, and I am one of them. The other is my elder brother Bo Yikao. I cannot rest in peace until he is dead!"

Lei Zhenzi didn't say anything. So what if a few people died? It was none of his business.

Then he said, "I've met with Lust before, and she wants to help Shang!"

"She really doesn't know how to live or die. If she appreciates my kindness and surrenders to me, I can give her the position of queen. If she disobeys, I will have to kill her!" Ji Fa's eyes flashed with coldness, and Lei Zhenzi's heart suddenly trembled.

In the chaos, the three thousand demons may not know everything, but they also know a thing or two.

For example, the Imperial Way ranks very high among the demon gods. He practices the Imperial Way laws and is very domineering.

Lei Zhenzi was thinking that he was now cooperating with Ji Fa, but he must not be led by him, and he had to find electricity as soon as possible!

He could sense that the Electric Demon had also revived, but he couldn't sense its specific location.

……

In Chaoge, under the main hall, Yin Pobai and Lei Kai were kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, we are incompetent and failed to stop Ji Chang!" Yin Pobai said tremblingly.

He could feel that Emperor Xin was in a rage at this moment.

As expected, upon hearing Yin Pobai's report, Emperor Xin became furious.

This old man Ji Chang instigated his uncle to do something stupid, which almost hurt himself and killed his uncle. This account cannot be let go like this!
"Ji Chang only has a handful of men, and you can't even catch up. What are you going to do? Also, who gave him the right to go through so many checkpoints to get back to Xiqi?"

"Your Majesty, we were about to catch up with Ji Chang, but suddenly a strange man with wings appeared and knocked us down. If it weren't for Miss Daji who rescued us, we would have lost our lives." Lei Kai said.

Bigan was also ashamed at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Ji Chang has the document I signed for him in his hand. He must have used this to get out of the pass."

Before, Bigan treated Ji Chang as his close friend, which was really heartfelt.

It's too late to regret now.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter. Ji Chang's escape was God's will." Su Hong said.

"God wills it, I will expose this sooner or later!" Emperor Xin snorted coldly, "Announce it publicly. Xibo Hou Ji Chang attempted to assassinate me. He is guilty of treason and will be punished soon!"

"Also, doesn't Ji Chang still have a son in Chaoge? Since he ran away so quickly, he must not want this son anymore. Cut him into pieces and send him to Xiqi!"

After this incident, no one dared to oppose Emperor Xin's orders.

In the Chaoge prison cell, Bo Yikao was still dressed in white, but his haggard face made him look less handsome.

A few days ago, he was the well-fed and well-clothed prince of Xiqi, but after becoming a naturalized citizen he became a prisoner.

"I don't know if my father has escaped!"

Even though he was imprisoned, Bo Yikao still thought of Ji Chang.

And with his intelligence, how could he not see that his father had used him as bait?

He didn't have much complaints about this.

Bo Yikao, both loyal and filial!

He is a true gentleman.

But this kind of person is not suitable to be a rebellious king.

Therefore, both Ji Chang and Tai Jiang were willing to abandon Bo Yikao.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind, and Bo Yikao saw a man in black robe appear in front of him.

"You are... Mr. Kun!" When Bo Yikao saw the person coming, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Bo Yikao was familiar with Mr. Kun who was beside his brother.

"Greetings, Prince!" said Kunpeng.

"Mr. Kun, are you here to save me?" Bo Yikao said excitedly.

"Your Excellency, you are too kind. I don't have that ability. I am here to help you get rid of your worries." Kunpeng said with a smile.

"What do you mean, Mr. Kun?" Bo Yikao took two steps back nervously.

"Prince, your presence is blocking the Second Young Master's path. I've heard that the King of Shang wants to have you torn into pieces, so I'm here to help you and spare you that pain!"

Hearing Kunpeng's words, Bo Yikao showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

Without waiting for Bo Yikao to say anything more, Kunpeng directly used a spell to hit Bo Yikao.

Bo Yikao was reduced to ashes, not even his true spirit was left!
There is no chance of even being on the list of gods.

This is also the reason why Kunpeng insisted on taking action himself.

Kunpeng didn't dare to stay for long, fearing that it would attract the attention of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so he left quickly.
