Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 100 Your performance ends, my turn begins

"Hmm! In that case, gather all the generals and come with me to greet them outside."

Huang Feihu was taken aback. Upon hearing the report, he felt slightly dissatisfied, thinking that someone in the court was obstructing him and doubting his abilities.

However, since their arrival to aid them would ultimately help the situation at the front, they had no choice but to lead their generals out to greet them, not daring to be impolite.

As Huang Feihu and his hundred-plus generals arrived at the central command gate, they saw a group of people sitting on strange beasts in the distance, kicking up clouds of dust.

The leading Taoist priest rode a large, multicolored leopard, followed by seven others, each riding a strange beast, heading straight for the central army.

"Shen Gongbao, the Grand Preceptor of the Shang Dynasty, has been ordered by King Zhou to lead seven generals—the four guards of Jiameng Pass (Mo Liqing, Mo Lihong, Mo Lihai, and Mo Lishou), the generals of Qinglong Pass (Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin), and the general of Sishui Pass (Han Rong)—to assist Marshal Huang in his campaign against Xiqi."

Upon seeing the commander-in-chief come out to greet him, Shen Gongbao dismounted his leopard and led the seven men behind him to Huang Feihu, whereupon he bowed and said...

"The Four Demon Generals greet the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Qinglong Pass, Zhang Guifang and Feng Lin pay their respects to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"This humble general, Han Rong, greets you!"

These men were all capable generals serving under Wen Zhong. This time, when Wen Zhong saw that Shen Gongbao was going to the front line to check the situation, he sent his own generals to reinforce his student.

"The Imperial Advisor? Shen Gongbao?"

Huang Feihu frowned slightly. He had been busy with the war and had been away from the central government for many years. He didn't even know when a new national advisor had appeared in the court. He did recognize the four generals of the Mo family, Zhang Guifang, Feng Lin and Han Rong, as they were all generals by his teacher's side.

"General, here's what happened."

Mo Liqing stepped forward and introduced Shen Gongbao's background to Huang Feihu and his generals, emphasizing that all matters concerning the immortal path were handled by this Yin Shang national teacher.

After reading King Zhou's imperial edict, Huang Feihu finally understood what was going on. Since they were all on his side, he immediately arranged a welcoming banquet in the army to welcome these powerful allies.

At the same time, news of Zhang Guifang, Han Rong, the four Mo family generals, and others reinforcing the Yin Shang army also reached Xiqi City.

For a time, the entire Xiqi was on high alert. Bo Yikao, Ji Fa, and Jiang Ziya summoned their generals to discuss and prepare strategies to deal with the enemy.

Early the next morning, King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu, led his generals and a million-strong army to surround Xiqi City.

"General! Your humble servant, Feng Lin, requests permission to fight!"

Confident in his supernatural powers, Feng Lin, a subordinate of Zhang Guifang of Qinglong Pass, was the first to go into battle, wanting to show off his prowess in front of the army and win future glory and wealth.

"Brother Wang, Prime Minister, I'll be right back."

Seeing Feng Lin challenging him to battle outside the city, Ji Shuqian donned his armor, mounted his warhorse, mustered three thousand soldiers, opened the city gates, and charged out.

"Gentlemen, come with me out of the city to cheer on my brother!"

The ministers of Xiqi felt that with Prince Shuqian in charge, victory was assured, and they did not want to dampen Boyi Kao's spirits. So, under Jiang Ziya's arrangement, the city gates were opened wide, and 100,000 troops lined up to cheer on Ji Shuqian.

Ji Shuqian and Feng Lin fought for dozens of rounds, evenly matched on horseback. Feng Lin showed a hint of surprise, not expecting his opponent to have such martial arts skills. Before he could think further, he opened his mouth and a wisp of black smoke shot out, containing a round bead the size of a bowl that shone with a red light, which struck Ji Shuqian in the face.

The two were too close, and Ji Shuqian had no time to dodge. The red bead struck him squarely on the forehead, instantly splattering his brains and causing him to bleed from all seven orifices. He crashed off his horse and was clearly beyond saving.

"Hahaha! Today we've slain one of the Ji family's direct descendants, securing the greatest merit!"

Feng Lin reined in his horse, beheaded Ji Shuqian, and returned victorious to report to Huang Feihu.

"Hahaha! General Fenglin, what incredible skill you possess! You have rendered the greatest service today, and I will report this to Chaoge for a rich reward!"

Huang Feihu looked at Ji Shuqian's head and laughed heartily. The reinforcements sent this time were indeed powerful, worthy of being the strong generals under his teacher who had conquered the North Sea.

"You lowly rats of Xiqi, which one of you isn't afraid of death? Come out and play with your Grandpa Zhang!"

Zhang Guifang, feeling itchy to fight, donned her helmet and armor, grabbed her spear, and rode her horse to the front of the two armies.

"Zhang Guifang, I've come to meet you!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a general in the Xiqi army, unable to contain his anger, spurred his horse and brandished his sword, charging straight at Zhang Guifang. Everyone looked and saw that it was none other than Nangong Shi, the great general of Xiqi.

"Nangong Shi, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Seeing Nangong Shi come out to fight, Zhang Guifang was not afraid at all. She brandished her spear and began to fight Nangong Shi in front of the battle.

The two men exerted all their martial arts skills and fought fiercely for dozens of rounds in front of the two armies, but still could not gain the upper hand.

"If Nangong Shi doesn't dismount, when will he?"

Suddenly, Zhang Guifang shouted, and Nangong Shi felt dizzy. Before he could say a word, he closed his eyes and fell off his horse, motionless.

"What?!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Ji and more than a dozen Xiqi generals were immediately horrified.

"Saving General Nangong is the most important thing!"

Buji, quick-witted, reacted instantly and shouted loudly.

After being reminded by Wu Ji, the dozen or so Xiqi generals quickly split into two groups: one group went to rescue Nangong Shi, while the other group rushed towards Zhang Guifang.

"If Buji doesn't dismount, when will he?"

Zhang Guifang sat upright on her horse, unmoved, watching the group of Xiqi generals charging towards her.

Wu Ji felt a sense of foreboding, but before he could do anything, he felt dizzy and could no longer hold the steel spear in his hand, and he fell off his horse.

"This is bad! Tell the generals to retreat immediately!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ziya realized that Zhang Guifang possessed extraordinary abilities. Seeing that his disciple had also fallen victim to her tricks, he was immediately alarmed and loudly gave an order.

"Why hasn't Ji Yuzhong dismounted yet? When will he?"

With a "bang," another general of Xiqi fell from his horse!

"Why hasn't Ji Shukun dismounted yet? When will he?"

Zhang Guifang displayed incredible prowess, capturing three generals of Xiqi in just a few breaths.

"Excellent! General Zhang is indeed incredibly capable!" Huang Feihu was overjoyed and ordered his men, "Quickly advance and kill the enemy! Leave no one who has fallen from their horse alive; behead them all and display their heads to the public!"

"Yes, sir!"

With the marshal's order, the four generals of the Mo family, Feng Lin, Han Rong, and Huang Feihu, along with many other generals, led their troops to charge into battle.

In a short time, the Xiqi army suffered a complete defeat. Jiang Ziya, who possessed some supernatural abilities, escorted Boyi Kao and Ji Fa back to Xiqi City under the protection of his generals.

After returning to the city and taking stock, it was found that nineteen of Ji Chang's ninety-nine sons had died in battle, and the number of other generals and soldiers was countless.

The atmosphere in the Western Zhou imperial palace in Xiqi City was somber.

This battle was the most devastating in recent years of confrontation between the two armies, resulting in the loss of nineteen princes. It was a devastating blow to the Western Zhou side, leaving them heartbroken and devastated.

"This is entirely my fault for not thinking things through. I did not expect the reinforcements from Chaoge to be so powerful. Zhang Guifang even has a strange and unusual technique. This is already the power of immortals, which ordinary generals cannot deal with."

"Prime Minister, do not blame yourself! In battle, casualties are inevitable. The important thing now is how to deal with these extraordinary people with unique abilities." The elder brother was grief-stricken, but Ji Fa remained calm and took the lead in asking questions to find a solution.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya frowned and said, "I have long heard that Wen Zhong is a highly skilled master under the Jie Sect, and the Four Demon Generals, Zhang Guifang, Feng Lin, and others are all extraordinary individuals with unique abilities. They are indeed not easy to deal with!"

At this time, Jiang Ziya was preparing to return to Kunlun Mountain to ask his teacher to send down experts to help him. Otherwise, how could Xiqi's million ordinary soldiers possibly be a match for the Shang Dynasty?

"Report!" A guard entered, knelt down, and reported: "Your Majesty, Second Prince, Prime Minister, several Taoist priests have come to join our Western Zhou."

"Uh? Let's go out and take a look."

Hearing that help had arrived, Boyi Kao's spirits lifted somewhat, and he led Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya out of the main hall in a hurry.

Outside the main hall, several figures floated in mid-air. Upon seeing Jiang Ziya and the others emerge, they descended to the ground and laughed loudly, "Junior Brother Ziya, your senior brother has brought you some helpers."

"Senior Brother Huanglong, what brings you here?"

Jiang Ziya was overjoyed to see them. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "You're not cultivating in seclusion at Magu Cave on Erxian Mountain, but have come here instead."

"By order of our master, I have brought several third-generation disciples to assist you."

Master Huanglong laughed heartily, then turned around and pointed to the people behind him, saying, "Yang Jian, the disciple of Brother Yuding; Nezha, the disciple of Brother Taiyi; and Tu Xingsun, the disciple of Julusun. These three are all outstanding disciples of the third generation of our Chan Sect. They are suitable to serve as vanguard officers in the cause of restoring Zhou and destroying Shang."

"Senior Brother Huanglong has arrived at just the right time. With the help of our sect, what is there to fear from the mere Shang army?" Jiang Ziya said happily.

The next day, contrary to usual practice, the gates of Xiqi City opened, and an army of 100,000 men charged out, set up a large formation, and waited for the Yin Shang army to arrive.

"It seems that reinforcements have arrived from Xiqi, possibly from the Chan Sect. Commander, we still need to be cautious." Seeing Xiqi's unusual behavior, Shen Gongbao's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but frown.

"The Imperial Advisor is absolutely right. Let's go and take a look."

Huang Feihu nodded, quickly mustered his troops, and arranged them in battle formation, facing off against the Xiqi army from afar.

"Shen Gongbao, come out and see me at once!"

Upon seeing the Yin Shang army appear, Huanglong Zhenren was the first to step forward. "You are a disciple of my Chan Sect, yet you aid and abet the tyrant. Today, I will capture you and take you back to Kunlun Mountain to be dealt with by my master!"

"Master Huanglong!"

Shen Gongbao was greatly surprised when he saw the newcomer. Although Huanglong Zhenren was the lowest-ranking among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and did not possess any powerful spiritual treasures, his cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal was beyond his ability to contend with.

"Shen Gongbao! You traitor, come out at once! You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever! Surrender now, and your teacher might spare your life!"

When Huanglong Zhenren saw that Shen Gongbao did not come out to see him, he was furious.

"Hmph, Master Huanglong, your Chan Sect has always bullied others by relying on your power. Do you think there is no one in the world who can control you? This time, we four brothers will see what you have to show off in front of the two armies."

The four demon generals spurred their mounts, which were quite well-matched: a white wolf, a white tiger, a white ox, and a white deer.

The four of them each unleashed their magical treasures: Mo Liqing wielded the Qingyun Sword and the White Jade Vajra Bracelet; Mo Lihong held the Hunyuan Umbrella; Mo Lihai held a black pipa; and Mo Lishou's treasure was the most unique, as he held a strange beast, the ancient Flower Sable!

"Hey! What luck! I dared not step forward, but these four have come to my rescue!"

Shen Gongbao was delighted to see the four demon generals appear. As a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, he knew all too well the power of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. These four would be perfect substitutes for his tribulation.

These four generals of the Demon Clan were also fearless in their ignorance. Mo Liqing drew the "Azure Cloud Sword" from the scabbard on his back, flicked it upwards, and after a few times, a black wind rose up, and thousands of spears shot towards Huanglong Zhenren.

"Ha ha! Little Doyle!"

Upon arriving in Xiqi, he became the first of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect to take the stage. His cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal overwhelmed everyone present. Huanglong Zhenren couldn't help but burst into laughter as he watched Mo Liqing flaunt his supernatural powers and magical treasures.

The "Jade Purity Immortal Light" swirled around him for three zhang, and neither the black wind nor the thousands of spears could pierce through it or harm Huanglong Zhenren in the slightest.

"Hmph! True Man Huanglong, don't be so smug, behold my magic weapon!"

Seeing this, Mo Lihong opened the "Hun Yuan Umbrella" and spun it three or four times in his hand. In an instant, the sky darkened, as if the universe had collapsed and the cosmos was shaking. Endless black mist and flames rolled out from the umbrella, making half the sky look like it was burning red.

In an instant, the wind fanned the flames, and the fire fueled the wind's power; the black wind and crimson fire swept towards Huanglong Zhenren like a tidal wave.

"Master Huanglong, I request that you listen to a song!"

Seeing his two elder brothers using their respective methods, Mo Lihai laughed heartily, took the pipa from his back, and plucked the strings. Instantly, demonic sounds arose everywhere, accompanied by wind and fire. The ear-piercing demonic sounds radiated outwards, and no mortal could withstand the attack of the sound waves. Blood flowed from their seven orifices, and they suffered unbearable pain.

"Baby, go, eat him!"

Mo Lishou smiled sinisterly, circled behind Huanglong Zhenren, and released the strange beast, the Flower Sable. The beast revealed its true form, flying in the air like a white elephant, flapping its wings between its sides, and pounced on Huanglong Zhenren.

"Haha! You little brats, you're courting death!"

Huanglong Zhenren laughed in exasperation. He was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet today he was surrounded by some insignificant celestial beings.

With the Jade Purity Immortal Light protecting him, Huanglong Zhenren completely ignored the attacks of the four demon generals. His palms made a series of grasping motions, and suddenly, four beads flew out. These were his set of innate spiritual treasures: the "Heaven-Opening Bead," the "Earth-Opening Bead," the "Evil-Free Bead," and the "Creation Bead."

The name of this set of magical treasures sounds impressive, but it is only a low-grade innate spiritual treasure of the lowest level. The Primordial Celestial Venerable didn't think much of this disciple and just randomly picked a set of trash to reward him.

This set of magical treasures is just an ordinary item among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, but for the Four Demon Generals, it is like a true creation treasure.

As soon as the "Heaven-Opening Pearl" was thrown out, a hole appeared in the "Primordial Umbrella," directly shattering Mo Lihong's magic weapon. The "Heaven-Opening Pearl" continued its momentum, and with a "bang," it struck him, leaving him bloodied and beyond dead.
