Chapter 192 The God of the Year, Finally Knows the Plan to Exterminate His Family!
"Yin Jiao?"
"Your Highness, are you perhaps the current Crown Prince?"
Shen Gongbao hurriedly got off the black leopard. He had just finished fooling Yin Hong, but unexpectedly, he ran into Yin Jiao!
"Exactly!"
"I am the son of King Zhou!"
"However, I absolutely cannot accept your address as Crown Prince. King Zhou and I have a blood feud."
"I have descended the mountain to assist Xiqi in attacking Cheng Tang and thus ending King Zhou's ten-thousand-year reign!"
Yin Jiao's words were resolute and left no room for negotiation, which showed his determination.
Upon learning Yin Jiao's identity, Shen Gongbao resumed his wailing, intending to deceive Yin Jiao with words.
"Your Highness, this is unacceptable!"
"You are a descendant of the Shang dynasty, how can you descend from the mountains to surrender to the enemy and bring disaster upon your own ancestral temple? This is unfilial!"
"You are the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty. To rebel against the Shang Dynasty is disloyal. Your Highness, please do not act in this way."
As soon as Shen Gongbao opened his mouth, he immediately slapped two heavy accusations on him: disloyalty and filial impiety, which were heinous crimes.
"Crown Prince of the Shang Dynasty? A descendant of Cheng Tang?"
"When King Zhou killed his wife and son, he never considered that I was the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty, a descendant of Cheng Tang!"
"What you're saying has nothing to do with me!"
Thinking of this, Yin Jiao felt a pang of pain in his heart. King Zhou had treated him this way; it didn't matter if he was disloyal and unfilial.
"Your Highness, you're being foolish!"
"King Zhou was tyrannical; his reign will last no more than a hundred years!"
"Once King Zhou passes away, won't the Shang dynasty fall into your hands? Why do you insist on this!"
"This is the legacy of our ancestors; it was hard-won!"
Shen Gongbao tried to tempt Yin Jiao with the promise of the throne and worldly power, but unfortunately, Yin Jiao had no interest in such things.
"Ancestral legacy?"
"My father is wicked; he should be given to the virtuous!"
"Moreover, Heaven's will is now in our favor, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is destined to prosper. How dare we cultivators defy Heaven!"
"Uncle-Master, please don't try to persuade me anymore."
"This disciple must also travel to Xiqi to serve under Uncle-Master Ziya and completely sever the karmic ties between human beings."
After Yin Jiao finished speaking, he bowed again.
"You wish to go to Xiqi and serve Jiang Ziya!"
"Little do you know, your younger brother Yin Hong has already died at the hands of the immortals of Xiqi. Your journey there is like walking into a trap."
"What can you possibly achieve by joining Xiqi?"
Shen Gongbao spoke casually, intending to mock Yin Jiao and try to change his mind.
"What?"
"My younger brother is dead?"
As the Crown Prince, Yin Jiao's biggest worry was his younger brother, Yin Hong, the Second Prince of the Shang Dynasty!
"Exactly!"
"Your younger brother went down the mountain to help Xiqi, but Jiang Shang, wanting to claim credit for himself, actually killed Your Highness's own brother!"
"And what's with the talk of eliminating future troubles!"
"Once you two are dead, the Shang dynasty will have no successors, and then the world will naturally belong to Zhou!"
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Your Highness, this trip is like walking into a trap. If you are caught in a calamity, don't say I didn't warn you."
Shen Gongbao turned the tables, distorting the facts and adding embellishments, and recounted in detail the death of Yin Hong.
"hateful!"
"You old scoundrel, how dare you bully me like this!"
"When I meet Jiang Shang, I want to ask him personally whether it was he who killed Yin Hong."
"If the Western Zhou forces kill my younger brother, I will not let them get away with it!"
Upon hearing the news of Yin Hong's death, Yin Jiao was filled with rage, but also felt a sense of shared sorrow for the passing of his comrade.
Shen Gongbao's words were a huge blow to him.
"How bitter is the fate of us descendants of the Yin-Shang dynasty!"
"I have no ambition for the Shang dynasty, and I bear a deep-seated blood feud with King Zhou. How can you force me like this?"
"After my mother died, Yin Hong was my only family in this world. How dare you harm him!"
"Yin Hong is my brother!"
With Yin Hong dead, the possibility of Yin Jiao defecting to Xiqi was completely cut off, which was a blood feud.
"Your Highness!"
"If you don't believe me, you can verify it yourself!"
Shen Gongbao was overjoyed upon seeing this.
He then used his words to trick Yin Jiao into going to Chuanyun Pass so that he could confront Jiang Ziya's side.
In his grief, Yin Jiao followed Shen Gongbao's instructions and went to Chuanyun Pass to verify the matter.
After arriving at Chuanyun Pass, Yin Jiao did not stay there for long. The next day, he went to Sishui Pass.
"This humble Taoist priest, Yin Jiao, requests Prime Minister Jiang's reply!"
At Sishui Pass, Li Jing and Huang Feihu climbed the city wall and looked out. They saw a Taoist priest come to the front of the pass and invited him to join them.
"Yin Jiao?"
"Whether this person's arrival is a good thing or a bad thing is unknown!"
Li Jing quickly sent a message to Jiang Ziya, and after a short while, Ziya used earth magic to arrive at Sishui Pass.
He arrived at the city gate and looked straight down.
"This humble Taoist priest is Jiang Shang. May I ask who you are?"
Jiang Ziya couldn't figure out Yin Jiao's intentions either, so he took the initiative to speak up and try to find out his background.
"I am Yin Jiao from Mount Jiuxian!"
"Prime Minister Jiang, I have heard that the immortals of Xiqi suppressed and killed my brother Yin Hong, and even turned his body to ashes!"
"I wonder if this matter is true or false?"
Upon hearing this, Ziya felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Just as Li Jing had predicted, trouble came knocking. Judging from Yin Jiao's tone, it sounded like he had come to interrogate them.
Ziya sighed and said, "It is indeed true. Yin Hong did not understand destiny and brought about his own destruction!"
"After descending the mountain, he joined the Tang Dynasty, intending to seize the throne of the King of Men, but unexpectedly ended up like this."
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao couldn't help but burst into tears.
He looked at Jiang Ziya and said, "Uncle-Master, Yin Hong is my younger brother, my only family."
"Years ago, my mother was robbed. Before she left, she asked me to protect my younger brother and to live a good life in the future."
"When you killed him, did you ever consider our camaraderie, or my feelings?"
After saying this, Yin Jiao shed tears again.
"The one who killed Yin Hong was Senior Brother Chi."
"Yin Hong is Senior Brother Chi's disciple."
"He betrayed the sect first, and Senior Brother Chi cleansed the sect afterward; this is simply the way of Heaven!"
"As an outsider, it's not appropriate for me to say more."
"What's done is done, so please accept my condolences and don't let your senior brother's good intentions go to waste."
Jiang Ziya could only offer these words of comfort to Yin Jiao; to be honest, Jiang Ziya didn't have much confidence in saying them.
"What a fine example of cleaning house!"
"When all the birds are gone, the good bow is put away!"
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked!"
"I see it now. All of this is a scheme to wipe out the Shang Dynasty."
"teacher!"
"As I descended the mountain, you told me to sever all worldly ties and settle all karmic debts. It turns out that this is where the truth lies!"
"Only in this way can one attain the Great Way!"
"Then I'll refrain from seeking this divine fruit!"
Yin Jiao kowtowed in the direction of Jiuxian Mountain, realizing the scheme behind it, and a chill ran down his spine.
Now that Yin Hong is dead, Yin Jiao will find it difficult to return home.
This journey down the mountain will mark the time of Yin Jiao's death. Even though Yin Jiao is allied with Xiqi, he will still face misfortune.
"You have taken my brother's life!"
"Even if I were to sincerely submit to Xiqi now, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to use me easily. Instead, you would be wary of me and might even use me as cannon fodder!"
"I am a son of the Shang dynasty, destined not to return to Zhou!"
"Everything is predestined; nothing is up to us!"
"Rather than compromise, I'd rather fight to the death; that way, I can at least earn a good reputation!"
Yin Jiao said with a wry smile that he had been forced to join the Liangshan bandits and it was no longer possible for him to join Xiqi.
At this moment, Yin Jiao deeply understood Yin Hong's pain; these two were born to be cannon fodder.
Everything they did was part of someone else's scheme; changing their fate would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
