However, within half a month, the Shang army was at the city gates again.

On the Xiqi side, spies had already received news that King Zhou had once again sent Grand Tutor Wen to attack Xiqi.

The two armies deployed their troops outside the east gate.

When the Shang army arrived again, Ziya quickly led a group of civil and military officials to the city gate tower to watch the battle.

"These 50,000 Shang troops are at the city gates. Although their numbers are half, their morale far surpasses that of the last time!"

"I just observed using the method of observing qi, and it seems there is a Taoist master presiding over this Shang army camp!"

Ziya's eyes flashed with golden light. He was well-versed in the Taoist art of observing qi and knew that there was a celestial aura emanating from this camp.

"Uncle-Master, you are unaware of this!"

"The leader of this expedition is none other than Wen Zhong, Grand Tutor Wen, a veteran of three reigns of the Great Shang Dynasty!"

"This person is a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother of the Jie Sect. He has cultivated for many years and has already attained the Five Qi Gathering. Although he has not yet reached the Taiyi realm, his cultivation level is probably already at the Golden Immortal realm of Taoism!"

"This person has not attained the Dao fruit and has no chance of becoming an immortal, but having descended the mountain many years ago, he has already reached the highest rank among the officials!"

"Wen Zhong is proficient in Taoist arts and techniques, and his military campaigns are highly organized. Having one man is far better than having a million elite soldiers!"

As a third-generation disciple of Taoism, Wen Zhong's Taoist cultivation is comparable to Yang Jian's, and he has already attained the Golden Immortal Dao of Taoism.

"Sigh~"

Oh, heavens, how cruel you are to me!

"I, Jiang Ziya, have spent half my life cultivating the Dao and only achieved the status of a wandering immortal. On the other hand, Wen Zhong has already attained the status of a golden immortal and achieved an immortal position, without any fear of changes in his lifespan."

"With such a person present, how could Xiqi possibly stand against him?"

Jiang Ziya was deeply worried. As the saying goes, if you can't beat someone, you should call for reinforcements, and that was exactly what he was planning to do.

"Wen Zhong's cultivation is profound. I observe that there are several other immortals who have attained enlightenment in the ranks below."

"Now that Xiqi has few soldiers and generals, and has suddenly encountered such a divine person, I fear that we will not be able to defeat him in a short time."

"This humble Taoist wishes to return to the mountain gate and consult the Great Celestial Venerable of the Taoist sect, so that one or two reinforcements may be sent to resolve this predicament!"

Jiang Ziya looked at Xin Huan, already considering leaving. Otherwise, Xiqi would truly be in danger!

"A powerful being at the Golden Immortal Realm is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators, let alone the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island!"

"Those four saints of Kowloon Island are all immortal beings, each one a celestial being of Taoism!"

"Not to mention, these four are protected by innate treasures, and their mounts can intimidate mortal beasts!"

"In this way, the 100,000 soldiers that Xiqi just captured last time will all be of little use."

Xin Huan immediately spoke up, saying that the Four Saints of Kowloon Island were a big problem and that these four should be dealt with first.

Otherwise, in a battle, Xiqi would surely lose. Without its numerical advantage, Xiqi would be extremely passive.

"After I leave, all affairs of Xiqi will be temporarily handled by King Wu and Xin Huan!"

"All you generals, do not cause trouble!"

"For now, hang up the truce sign in the city. We'll talk about it when I return. Do not rashly resort to arms."

Jiang Ziya looked at everyone. The disparity between the two sides was now enormous, and rashly engaging in battle would result in a great loss.

"Here you go!"

Everyone nodded and agreed immediately.

Ziya picked up a handful of soil, threw it into the air, and used earth magic to leave Xiqi. He went straight back to Kunlun Mountain, intending to go back and ask the Primordial Heavenly Venerable for instructions.

"Now that the Prime Minister has left, a truce sign has been hung high in the city. If anyone outside the gate challenges us to battle, we will ignore them."

Xin Huan immediately spoke up and took over the defense.

The next day, four people emerged from the Shang army camp, each riding a strange beast.

"Report! Something terrible has happened!"

"General, someone outside is challenging us to battle!"

Upon hearing the message, Xin Huan and the others hurriedly climbed the city gate tower and looked down, where they saw the Four Saints of Kowloon Island.

"These four men never led troops!"

"They must have come here to fight!"

Xin Huan looked down and saw that these four people had not brought any troops with them, so it seemed that they had only come to fight each other.

Fighting in battle can showcase one's reputation.

Last time, Yuan Hong defeated Zhang Guifang in a duel between the two armies, using his supernatural powers and magic, and earned a great reputation.

The four saints of Kowloon Island have come today to spread their fame and demonstrate the prestige of the Jie Sect.

Where is Jiang Ziya of the Chan Sect?

As the leader of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, Wang Mo immediately urged his mount forward and spoke towards Xiqi City.

Upon hearing this, Xin Huan looked at Wang Mo again.

This person had a bluish-green face, was about sixteen feet tall, wore a headscarf with a single character on it, and was dressed in a water-colored robe. His face was like a full moon, and his mount was Bi'an, one of the nine sons of the dragon.

He approached with a celestial sword hanging from his waist.

"Xin Huan of the Chan Sect greets you!"

Ziya was not in the city, so Xin Huan immediately stepped forward and met with the demon king again.

"Huh? A Mystic Immortal!"

As the leader of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, Wang Mo possesses the highest level of cultivation, and he is only one step away from becoming a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal).

"I never imagined the Chan Sect would have such a figure!"

The Taoist immortals have already formed auspicious clouds above their heads, comprehended the profound mysteries of the Tao, and entrusted the laws to the Heavenly Way.

Wang Mo is only one step away from becoming a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal), and his cultivation has advanced to the Great Perfection of Tianxian (a high-level immortal), making his cultivation exceptionally profound.

The other three were also at the Celestial Immortal realm.

"Fellow Daoist Xin Huan, King Demon greets you!"

"I wonder if Jiang Ziya of the Chan Sect is inside the city?"

Wang Mo bowed. As an assistant invited by Wen Zhong, he naturally had to meet Jiang Ziya, the person in charge.

"Unfortunately, my martial uncle is not in the city."

"What are your plans, Fellow Daoist Wang Mo?"

Xin Huan looked at Wang Mo. These four people were all unwelcome guests, but at least they belonged to the same Taoist sect and had some friendship with each other.

If it were someone else, would they be so polite?

"I am a Qi cultivator from Kowloon Island. My name is Wang Mo. These are Yang Sen, Gao Youqian, and Li Xingba."

"The four of us are all disciples of the Jie Sect!"

"We four came here specifically to help Ziya out of his predicament, only because Grand Tutor Wen summoned us. We have no other intentions!"

"Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya is not in the city!"

It turned out that these four people, relying on their magical treasures and supernatural powers, wanted to challenge Xiqi to a duel, hoping to subdue them without a fight.

"Get out of the predicament? How can we get out of the predicament?"

Xin Huan looked at Wang Mo and immediately spoke up.

"We have come here to do only three things!"

"The first thing is to make King Wu submit to the throne and abolish the title of Great Zhou, so as not to lose the great righteousness between the ruler and his subjects."

"Secondly, the 100,000 troops at Qinglong Pass will be returned in full, and the city's treasury will be opened to reward the three armies."

"The third thing is to send Huang Feihu out of the city and have Grand Tutor Wen escort him back to Chaoge to await the King's judgment."

"What do you think, my friend?"

Wang Mo looked at Xin Huan, whom he had learned of from Wen Zhong that she was a virtuous immortal.

Therefore, his words this time were also delivered with a calculated attitude.

"I wonder how you will handle this?"

"Shouldn't we allow Xiqi to squander its resources and be at the mercy of the Shang Dynasty simply because you, Fellow Daoist, have spoken?"

"Why don't we have a match first?"

"Once the outcome is decided, we can then discuss the matter further. If Xiqi wins, then there is nothing more to say."

"All three conditions above are granted!"

"If you are no match for us, then you will bear the consequences yourself. Don't blame us for showing no mercy!"

"What do you fellow Daoists think?"

Xin Huan immediately spoke to Wang Mo.

This is a common practice in the cultivation world; once the two sides have fought, the matter will naturally be settled.

"Fellow Daoist, know that swords and blades have no eyes!"

"A battle of magic is a major event, and casualties are inevitable. It's common for several cultivators to die!"

"Fellow Daoist Xin Huan, you should think this through!"

Wang Mo looked at Xin Huan, his face instantly darkening. He hadn't expected Xin Huan to be so clueless.

They actually showed no respect, damaging their own reputation.

This person didn't take the disciples of the Jie Sect seriously at all, so Wang Mo was also angered at this moment.
