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

Chapter 73 Yun Zhongzi is injured, Li Yunjing plays the good guy

"Hmm? Yun Zhongzi has been injured? We can't let Yun Zhongzi suffer too much damage, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to our Second Martial Uncle!"

Hearing the sound, Chaos Dao Lord rushed in that direction and indeed saw Chi You wielding a demonic blade, chasing after Yun Zhongzi.

"Chi You, cease your arrogance!"

Chaos Dao Lord roared, and the "Nine Heavens Divine Sword" unleashed a bolt of lightning, striking towards Chi You's true form as a great shaman.

"Alas! What a pity! We were so close to killing Yun Zhongzi, but Chaos Dao Lord interfered again!"

The innate spiritual treasure of the Chaos Dao Lord is powerful. Chi You sighed, his figure flashed, and he once again hid in the mist, avoiding Li Yunjing's sharp edge, preparing for the next sneak attack.

"Yun Zhongzi, are you alright?"

Chaos Dao Lord did not pursue Chi You, but instead inquired about Yun Zhongzi's safety with a "concerned" expression.

"Brother Chaos, I'm alright. I was just ambushed by Chi You and my arm was slashed. I also got some 'Heavenly Fiend Qi'. I'll be fine as long as I expel the fiend qi."

Sure enough, seeing the concern in Chaos Daojun's eyes, Yun Zhongzi was filled with gratitude. In this critical moment, Chaos Daojun was still the one to rely on!

"It's good that you're alright! Right now, the surrounding area is shrouded in a malevolent mist. We're fine, but the ordinary soldiers are no longer able to fight." Seeing that Yun Zhongzi was out of danger, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since today is not a suitable day for a decisive battle, let's withdraw for now and make further plans after we break this vicious formation!"

Chaos Dao Lord made a decision with a single word, circulated his magic power, and with a "whoosh," he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of pure air. A hurricane suddenly roared across the heavens and earth, and the mist was actually blown away a bit.

Upon seeing his teacher display divine power and create a bright area, the Yellow Emperor immediately shouted and issued an order for his army to retreat towards the Chaos Dao Lord.

Seeing that the Chaos Dao Lord had a "Purple Lightning Hammer" floating around him and "Purple Heaven Divine Thunder" waiting to be unleashed, Chi You dared not step forward to launch a sneak attack.

Thus, the Yellow Emperor gathered his army, withdrew to his camp, and prepared to fight again another day.

Upon returning to their base, the immortal figures naturally did not participate in the ordinary battles of the soldiers. Instead, they gathered individually in the reed huts to discuss some issues that had occurred during the battle.

During this time, the immortals did not suffer any losses. Apart from Yun Zhongzi being ambushed and stabbed by Chi You, they fought the Wu tribe to a standstill, and even the Jiejiao immortals gained the upper hand. If Chi You had not set up a great formation, they would have killed those seven or eight great witches sooner or later.

"Senior brother! Let's ignore the mortal army and just let us experts charge in and completely annihilate Chi You and his forces. Wouldn't that complete our mission?"

After exchanging words, Yu Yixian spoke loudly, clearly dissatisfied with his fruitless return. After all, he hadn't lost; even the combined forces of the Great Witch Fengbo and the Rain Master, who had fought against him, were no match for him.

"Haha! Feathered Immortal, you need to change your impatience! This is a great war for the Human Emperor to unify the world." Chaos Dao Lord laughed, looked around, and said, "We who have come out of seclusion are only to assist the Human Emperor. If we were to do all the fighting, how would the Human Emperor's military achievements be highlighted?"

"Hahaha!"

As expected, Chaos Daojun's words made everyone burst into laughter. Indeed, their actions were only aimed at those great and lesser witches; matters between mortals were naturally not their concern.

Otherwise, after a barrage of spells, where would the Jiuli tribe still exist?

"Hehe! Chaos Dao Lord, if Chi You can still withstand our attack, you can hand him over to me, and I will have a way to send him to reincarnation." Suddenly, Lu Ya Dao Lord smiled sinisterly and said these words.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but turn their gazes to Lu Ya.

Everyone has already witnessed how powerful Chi You is. Even Yun Zhongzi, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, was ambushed and struck by the "Blood Transformation Divine Blade". What magic power does this wandering cultivator have to kill Chi You?

"Very well! I know that Fellow Daoist Lu Ya possesses great supernatural powers to subdue Chi You. If we are still unable to defeat the Wu Clan in the next battle, then it will be your time to show your prowess."

Others may not know Lu Ya's background, but Li Yunjing knows it all. As the son of Di Jun, he possesses a wealth of valuable items, including the "Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife" and the "Seven Arrows of Nailhead," both of which are extremely vicious magical weapons.

He harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Wu tribe. By taking action to eliminate Chi You and kill many members of the Wu tribe, he inadvertently created a karmic connection between himself and the Wu tribe.

Chaos Dao Lord really didn't want to forge a blood feud with the Witch Clan. Not to mention the Lady Pingxin, even the Great Witch Xingtian and Jiufeng were quasi-saint level experts, extremely troublesome.

Chaos Dao Lord had no confidence in killing him. He didn't care if they became enemies in the future, but the other disciples of the Jie Sect would have a hard time getting by.

Nobody wants to be constantly watched by a quasi-saint level great witch, right?

While Li Yunjing and the other immortals were discussing matters in the reed hut, the Yellow Emperor was not idle either. After reorganizing the army, he summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures. Ministers such as Yinglong, Changxian, Dahong, and Limu were all present, but Feng Hou was nowhere to be seen.

The Yellow Emperor immediately sent people to search everywhere, but after a long time, they still could not find Feng Hou. The Yellow Emperor had no choice but to go and look for him himself.

When the Yellow Emperor arrived at the rear camp, he saw Feng Hou sleeping alone on his chariot.

Upon seeing this, the Yellow Emperor was furious and exclaimed, "What time is it? Are you still sleeping here?"

Feng Hou slowly sat up and said, "I wasn't sleeping, I was thinking of a solution."

Then, he pointed to the sky and said to the Yellow Emperor, "Your Majesty, look, why does the Big Dipper in the sky rotate but its handle doesn't? I've heard that Bo Gao discovered a kind of lodestone that can attract iron during the process of quarrying and smelting copper. Could we create something that can point the way based on the principle of the Big Dipper? With such a thing, we won't be afraid of getting lost in the fog."

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Emperor's expression softened considerably, and he laughed, "So you were lying here thinking about how to defeat the enemy."

The Yellow Emperor told his ministers about Feng Hou's idea, and after some discussion, they all agreed that it was a good idea.

Then, with Feng Hou designing, everyone pitched in to make it.

With everyone working together, they finally created an instrument that could guide the way.

After the wind, it was mounted on a chariot, on which was installed a dummy pointing south.

Soon, the Yellow Emperor issued an order to be implemented throughout the army: "When fighting, if you are caught in a thick fog, just look at the direction the dummy on the compass chariot is pointing, and you will immediately be able to identify the cardinal directions."

After Feng Hou created the "Guide Chariot," the "Soul Devouring Formation" was suppressed by the Qi cultivators of the immortal path, and ordinary fog could no longer trap the Yellow Emperor's army.

With the help of the immortals, the Yellow Emperor's army gradually gained an advantage in the battles after several battles, and the previous situation of losing every battle was no longer possible.
