Chapter 72: The Great Defeat of Golden Immortal

  Chi You clashed with the Yellow Emperor again, and happened to find the twelve superior immortals by the Yellow Emperor's side. Chi You was a great figure, why would he care about the disciples of the Orthodox Church? He came down in the middle of the army formation.

  "Huangdi Xiaoer, you'd better surrender early on. With just these wine bags and rice sacks of yours, how can you contend with my Jiuli Great Army? Don't think that having a few small fries from the Xuanjiao sect backing you up will allow you to take me on - they're lucky if they don't lose their own lives."

  The Yellow Emperor hadn't even spoken when a Taoist shouted loudly, "You dare to blaspheme my Golden Immortal teachings! I'll take care of you!" The speaker was Huang Long Zhenren. With a wave of his sword, he charged forward. Chi You sneered and swung his battle knife, knocking Huang Long's sword flying with one strike. The previously furious Huang Long suddenly revealed his true form.

  Chi You swung his war knife again and rushed towards Huang Long's head, but Huang Long didn't care about his image at all, he rolled on the ground and escaped by digging into the earth.

  The Jiuli army burst out laughing as soon as they saw that the Taoist was so vulnerable to a single blow. The faces of the Golden Immortals of the Xuan teachings turned unpleasant, and Guang Chengzi furrowed his brow. He had already discovered that Chi You had probably reached the state of great witchcraft, which greatly surprised Guang Chengzi. He did not expect Chi You to reach such a realm in such a short period of time. Guang Chengzi knew that things were going to be troublesome.

  Yu Ding Zhen Ren's temper was a bit more urgent, and he raised the beheading immortal sword in his hand to rush towards Chi You. Chi You calmly used his war knife to block it, and they fought together. Yu Ding Zhen Ren's skills were obviously stronger than Huang Long Zhen Ren's, and the beheading immortal sword flew up and down, momentarily causing Chi You to become flustered.

  Chi You was after all experienced, although his strength had yet to reach its peak state, he could gradually suppress Yu Ding.

  Guang Chengzi saw this scene and knew that he couldn't win against Chi You alone, so he gave a signal with his eyes, instructing the numerous immortal gods to raise their magical weapons, preparing to overwhelm him with sheer numbers.

  "How shameless, you little brats of the Xuan Jiao Sect! Your Master Xiang Liu has arrived to meet with you." The Twelve Upper Immortals launched a joint attack, drawing out the four great witches, Xiang Liu, Jiufeng, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi, who also joined forces to launch a fierce assault. The two armies clashed in a chaotic melee.

  All twelve Golden Immortals have the Great Luo Boundary, but they don't like to fight with people, lack experience, and also make the mistake of underestimating their enemies. Originally, they didn't think much of the Witch Clan, thinking that these remnants could not contend against the Jade Clear Immortal Law.

  As soon as they started, they were already at a disadvantage. These powerful sorcerers had strong physiques, astonishing magic, and extremely rich experience. Moreover, their coordination was seamless, and together with Chi You, just the five of them made the twelve Upper Immortals suffer a crushing defeat, unable to match up.

  The many great witches in the Jiuli formation, as soon as they saw them, commanded the army to attack again. The Yellow Emperor's army was greatly defeated once more. Fortunately, with the help of the twelve superior immortals, they were not too badly defeated and were able to retreat a hundred miles away, gradually stabilizing their position.

  Chi You then launched several more fierce attacks on the Yellow Emperor's camp, and the Twelve Heaven Sages were defeated one after another, fleeing in disarray. The morale of the Jiuli tribe was boosted, and more and more tribes defected to their side. The situation for the Yellow Emperor became increasingly precarious.

  The twelve immortals were all disheartened, each hanging their heads in despair, morale was at an all-time low. Guang Chengzi felt his face had been utterly lost, he had boasted to his disciples and now he had been defeated so miserably, how could he explain this?

  Guang Chengzi thought of his own teacher Yuan Tianzun, it seems that he can only ask for help from his master.

  Guang Chengzi's foot stepped on the cloud light and returned to Kunlun Mountain. His original body as a saint naturally knew that the war was not going well, but he didn't take it too much to heart. He knew that this time the human emperor's dispute wasn't so easy, and suffering some setbacks was normal. However, his disciples were still too incompetent, which made Guang Chengzi feel somewhat dissatisfied.

  The White Crane Boy led Big Brother Master into the Jade Void Palace, where Guang Chengzi hastily knelt before the original cloud bed.

  "Disciple is incompetent, and has come to apologize to the teacher. The disciple found it difficult to defeat the great witch's war power, and requests the respected teacher's guidance." Guang Chengzi honestly acknowledged his defeat and asked for his teacher's help.

  The original gaze swept over Guang Chengzi, with a dignified and displeased tone, saying after a long time: "I have taught you for so many years, can't even handle a few small Da Wu? Don't you understand the principle of interdependence and mutual restraint? Moreover, our Tian Jiao is to follow heaven and benefit people, haven't you heard that those who follow the Tao will be helped by many, while those who go against it will be deserted by all? You figure out a way yourself."

  Guang Chengzi left the Jade Void Palace with a mixture of fear and trepidation, but as soon as he thought about his teacher's words, he understood a lot more. His teacher had indeed given him a way out after all! Why was he so stubborn and didn't think to find some help?

  Guang Chengzi thought of a friend he knew, and that was Du E Zhēn Rén from Xi Kunlun. He was also a famous loose cultivator, and had a powerful magical artifact called the Ding Feng Pearl. As soon as Guang Chengzi thought of the Ding Feng Pearl, an idea popped into his mind.

  He rode the cloud light to Xikunlun, invited Du E to come, Du E gladly agreed, and the two came together in front of the army. Then they introduced each other to the Golden Immortals, and afterwards they discussed a plan together.

  The next day, the two armies lined up again and started fighting. Xiang Liu, Jiufeng, Fengbo, Yurou, and several other powerful wizards led their troops to charge forward, cutting through the enemy lines like cutting vegetables, as if they were in a no-man's land. However, these four wizards did not notice that their troops were gradually being separated and surrounded by the Golden Immortals. Antelope also became complacent due to consecutive victories and failed to notice the potential danger lurking behind.

  Dafeng Fengbo and Yu Ding Zhenren, as well as Taiyi Zhenren, engaged in battle once again. The two Golden Immortals also absorbed the lessons of their previous encounters, using their magical treasures to attack from a distance without closing in. When Dafeng saw that he was having difficulty gaining the upper hand, he became somewhat anxious and unleashed the Shu tribe's divine ability, summoning a fierce gust of wind to assault the two Golden Immortals.

  Just as Feng Bo summoned the gale, a bead suddenly appeared in mid-air, radiating light and instantly dispersing Feng Bo's gale, leaving him stunned.

  At this moment, Guang Chengzi, who was hiding on one side, raised the Heaven-Defying Seal. This treasure instantly expanded to a size of ten thousand feet and weighed more than Mount Tai. It landed right on Feng Bo's head, while Yu Ding Zhen Ren's beheading sword also arrived, cutting off one of Feng Bo's arms.

  Taiyi True Person urged the Nine Dragon God Fire Cover, and in an instant, Feng Bo was taken in. The powerful true fire instantly refined a great witch, and unfortunately, Feng Bo, a generation of great witches, died under the secret calculations of these Golden Immortals.

  Guang Chengzi beheaded Feng Bo, greatly boosting morale, and the Jiuli army was defeated. Huangdi won his first victory.

  Chi You is now in a very low mood, the Wu tribe still has several great witches, especially Feng Bo, who is at the top of the fighting force. How can he explain himself to Xing Tian in the future? Chi You gritted his teeth, looking extremely angry.

  Yu Shi Xiang Liu and others were still persuading him, saying that in war, there is no one who doesn't die, so there's no need to be overly grieved, and they can avenge later. In his heart, Chi You was also constantly thinking, and a plan began to take shape.

  Chi You ordered the military officers to hold a grand ceremony to worship Feng Bo, while secretly assigning tasks, gathering all 81 great witches together. Each of them received a strand of Hou Yi's refined blood, and their cultivation recovered quickly, with some reaching around five layers already, almost touching the edge of the great witch realm. These people gathered together had extremely strong combat power.

  Then he arranged for Yu Shi Xiang Liu Jiufeng and several other powerful witches to be dispatched, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Yellow Emperor's army.

  The Yellow Emperor won a rare victory, and also heard that the Jiuli tribe was offering sacrifices to Feng Bo, so they relaxed and set up a wine feast to reward the soldiers who had been fighting for a long time. Even the twelve superior immortals were somewhat complacent.

  Du E was entrusted by someone to help explain the teachings, and in one battle, he took down Feng Bo. Du E wasn't very excited, as this was all thanks to his own Wind Bead's unexpected move. A group of Golden Immortals launched a sneak attack on his home, and Chi You's forces were still out there, with Dahu still lurking in the background. However, Du E felt a faint sense of heartache in his heart, so he spoke to Guang Chengzi.

  Guang Chengzi now attaches great importance to this friend's opinion and secretly calculates the heavenly mechanism to see if there is any unexpected change.

  At this time, the Yellow Emperor's camp was surrounded by shouts of killing from all sides, and flames rose to the sky everywhere. Everyone had one thought in mind: the Jiuli clan had come to raid the camp. It was beyond everyone's expectations. Chi You's army was originally much stronger than the Yellow Emperor's, and since the Yellow Emperor was unprepared, they were defeated. The twelve immortals and Taiyi Zhenren protected the Yellow Emperor as he fled for his life. Chi You and three great shamans closely pursued them, while the eighty or so great shamans led the Jiuli soldiers to quickly surround the Yellow Emperor's army like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

  After a night of intense fighting, the Yellow Emperor escaped for 500 miles, and his army was left with less than one million people. The Golden Immortal of the Xuanmen Sect was overjoyed and saddened at the same time, his mood had hit rock bottom, and he was worried and had no way out.

  Chi You captured nearly five million of the Yellow Emperor's army, and became famous in one battle. However, Chi You originally planned to capture the Yellow Emperor or the Golden Immortal who was explaining the teachings, and offer sacrifices to Feng Bo. Now, although he had won a great victory, the main culprit had not been caught, and Chi You felt a suffocating feeling in his heart. He cast his gaze towards the captured soldiers.

  Chi You made the most wrong decision in his life, ordering the slaughter of surrendered soldiers. Some elderly members of the Jiuli tribe came forward to dissuade him, but these people had no status whatsoever in Chi You's eyes, and their words fell on deaf ears.

  Five million soldiers fell to the ground, their blood flowing like a river. The heavens and earth were filled with sorrow. Chi You's bloodthirsty image was deeply ingrained in people's minds. This was not a good thing. Although wars among humans never ceased, there was always a principle adhered to: as fellow human beings, they tried to minimize slaughter. Sometimes, both sides would weigh each other's strength, and if one side was clearly no match for the other, they would surrender voluntarily. The victorious side also could not harm their opponents.

  On the battlefield, wounded soldiers from either side should be rescued. Although people have different ideas, they are still brothers of one family and cannot intentionally kill each other. Unfortunately, Chi You broke this bottom line, or he never considered himself a member of the same ethnic group, and even the Jiuli people were just his tools.

  Chi You's atrocities enraged the world, countless other tribes automatically stood on the side of the Yellow Emperor, even those who had conflicts with him before, everyone wanted to join hands and eliminate Chi You, the demon king together. The army under the Yellow Emperor expanded rapidly, reaching 200 million.

  On Mount Youmèi, Hou Yi almost vomited blood after learning of this matter. He looked up at the sky and sighed, overcome with grief. He knew that the Shu tribe would not only be defeated but also lose their bloodline. After making arrangements for the funeral rites, he hastily set off towards the northern part of Honghuang to gather some remaining members of the Shu tribe. Then, he went to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and brought out some tribespeople who were willing to follow him. Returning to Mount Youmèi, Chiyou was already a dead man in Hou Yi's heart.
