392 The Army Arrives at Mt. Mei
The first edict was that the gods were guilty, and they had to announce it to the world.
It was simple. Emperor Xin listed all the incidents of gods eating humans in Great Shang and let the people of Great Shang make their own judgments.
“In the first year of Emperor Xin, the Mountain God of the Green Lotus Mountain in the North Sea failed his duty. In the same year, the Mountain God of West Qi’s Five Transformations Mountain kidnapped 1,000 women. Ten years later, a mass grave with 1,000 corpses was discovered!
“In the 2nd year of Emperor Xin, the River God of Wei River held a birthday banquet. Hundreds of miles of land around were turned into a swamp, and countless people were killed or injured!
!!“In the 3rd year of Emperor Xin, the River God of Qi River married a woman and ate her! It ate countless people!”
…
Each and every one of them was based on reason and evidence, and there was no room for the gods to refute them.
“There are countless sinners like gods!”
“Today, I’ve killed a god to warn the world!”
The second edict was that since the Heavenly Court could confer gods, the Shang dynasty could do the same!
As long as they were willing to stay in Great Shang and protect the people, they could be conferred titles by Emperor Xin.
They could be conferred as the Orthodox lineage of the human race, and Great Shang would build a temple for them to receive incense from the people!
The third edict turned into a ray of light and flew into Zhao Hao’s hand.
Zhao Hao opened it and was immediately dumbfounded.
It wrote: “All of Great Shang’s troops at the passes will kill any sinful god who escaped.”
When the three edicts were passed down, the entire mortal world was shocked.
This Emperor of Shang wanted to fight head-on with the Heavenly Court.
Zhao Hao thought for a while after reading the edict and decided not to stay in the capital. Emperor Xin was too dangerous and unpredictable. He decided not to meet him before he had a clear idea of what he was up to.
There were also orders from the left and right.
As the General of the Jiepai Pass, Zhao Hao should have returned immediately to capture the fleeing gods.
Just like that, Zhao Hao left and flew toward Jiepai Pass.
Not long after Zhao Hao left, a black-robed man appeared in the inn that Zhao Hao had just stayed at.
“Eh? He left? Grand Preceptor Wen just said that he was grateful for the help of the General of Jiepai Pass, and that His Majesty would like to meet him. Why did he leave just like that?”
Fei Zhong was very curious.
Fei Zhong, the head of the number one secret agent in the world, had a strange feeling about this General who had reached the Heaven Immortal realm.
“He must have seen the edict and returned to Jiepai Pass. It’s a pity, I still wanted to investigate,” Fei Zhong said as if he was deep in thought.
He then said to the two black-robed servants behind him, “Order Division A and Division B to send 20 men each to Jiepai Pass. Don’t pay special attention to the General. Just send the information from there to me immediately.”
The two black-robed servants hurriedly replied, “Yes.”
…
In the entire Great Shang, an endless stream of officers galloped on their horses. They had small flags on their backs, and on the backs of their horses hung three imperial edicts.
For a time, clouds of dust rose up and rushed to all parts of Jiuzhou…
Qiushui Pass, Kin Pass, Tong Pass, Lin Tong Pass…
The military commanders at the passes received the imperial edict and responded one after another.
Soon, one notice after another, listing the sins of the gods, was posted all over Great Shang’s territory. There was one in almost every village.
The troops of various forces personally took action and chased after the gods.
When Zhao Hao returned to Jiepai Pass, the first thing he did was to gather his troops and destroy all the temples nearby.
Zhao Hao also personally took action, directly stopping the Grass Puppet Gods that were escaping one after another.
As a member of the Great Shang camp, Zhao Hao was determined to carry out the orders of the emperor.
Zhao Hao said coldly as he faced the gods. “I’m the General of Jiepai Pass, and I’m here to deliver the order.
“If you are willing to submit to Great Shang, protect the people, and build a temple, the Emperor will personally confer you the title of Great Shang’s God!
“Those who are unwilling to submit will be beheaded.”
These gods, who had been conferred by the Heavenly Court, would not surrender so easily, so they immediately attacked Zhao Hao.
In an instant, blood stained the sky.
A large number of gods had fallen in Great Shang’s territory on this day.
In just five days, the elites of Great Shang were all out.
Within five days, nearly 50% of the gods conferred by the Heavenly Court had been killed, and the remaining 20% had escaped from Great Shang and hid in the wild mountains.
The remaining 30%, under the coercion of the various Generals, all submitted to Great Shang and willingly let the Jade Emperor open their God Records.
Back then, in order to recruit these gods, the Jade Emperor did not make their primordial spirits swear an oath but simply remembered their god names.
Now, all the gods had rebelled, the Jade Emperor had no other way.
The entire Great Shang was in a state of peace.
Only Zhao Hao looked at the only mountain left in his territory and was in a dilemma.
“Commander, the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei did not do anything to harm the people of Great Shang. Why don’t we just let it go?” a deputy beside Zhao Hao suggested carefully.
The place where Zhao Hao was at was Mt. Mei.
There were no Mountain Gods conferred by the Jade Emperor here.
That was because the entire Mt. Mei was occupied by the Seven Demons, and they were called the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei.
Not only were these seven demons powerful, they also had demon soldiers and demon generals under their command. They were already a very powerful force.
Zhao Hao wasn’t very interested in the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei.
The one that Zhao Hao was really interested in was the boss of the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei, Yuan Hong, who cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysteries.
It must be known that ever since Zhao Hao came to this world, he had been looking for a cultivation technique.
Previously, Zhao Hao had mastered the techniques of the Small Worlds and Intermediate Worlds’ ancient books. Although they were considered profound, they were not a match for the cultivation techniques of a Great World.
As for the Eight-Nine Mysteries, it was a well-known technique in this world.
If he cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysteries, not only would he learn the 72 Transformation Techniques, but if he could cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysteries to the 9th Transformation.
If the primordial spirit in the Niwan Palace wasn’t destroyed, the corporeal body wouldn’t die. If the primordial spirit escaped, it would be safe, and the corporeal body could be resurrected infinitely.
In the entire world, there were only two who had learned the Eight-Nine Mysteries.
One of them was Immortal Yuding’s disciple, Yang Jian, who was also one of the main characters of this world.
The other one was not far in front of Zhao Hao, the boss of Mt. Mei, Yuan Hong.
‘The current Yuan Hong should not have cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysteries to a high rank. This should be the best time to capture him,’ thought Zhao Hao.
According to Emperor Xin’s edict, the emperor would only target the gods conferred by the Heavenly Court.
The likes of the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei were completely out of the scope of hunting.
However, as an official, Zhao Hao still had the right to use his public power for his own personal gain.
After all, as long as Zhao Hao was certain that the Seven Demons of Mt. Mei had an ambiguous relationship with the Heavenly Court and had harmed a few civilians, he would have a reason to make a move.
