The Fifty-Fifth Emperor: Zhuanxu (III)

  At this critical moment, Yun Zhongzi reminded Xuanyuan: "Human Emperor, we are now trapped in Chiyou's formation. In my opinion, this formation is very evil and can absorb the soul to enhance the power of the formation. If we don't break out early, the power of the formation will become stronger with the increase in the number of deaths."

  After being reminded by Yun Zhongzi, Xuan Yuan also understood that this was not the time to be distracted, so he immediately organized his troops and broke through with the help of the Tian Jiao Zhenxian. The main reason they were able to break through so smoothly was due to the insufficient power of the Xuanyin Fan used by Chi You's formation.

  Chi You did not pursue after repelling the joint forces of Huang Di and Yan Di. This was not because he was merciful, but because he had no strength to pursue. The Jiuli tribe had not yet completed its pre-war preparations, and if it launched a rash attack, Chi You feared that it would bring unnecessary losses to the tribe. He waited until all the reserve supplies were ready before sending troops to counterattack Huang Di.

  Xuanyuan regretted deeply in his heart when he saw the heavy casualties of the human and dragon allied army after breaking out of the 'Mysterious Yin Great Array' under the protection of the Tianyi Immortals. If it weren't for his reckless attack, the army wouldn't have suffered such great losses. The human army had been thoroughly defeated in this battle and could no longer resist Chiyou. If other tribes were to learn of this news, Xuanyuan's position as the Human Emperor would be difficult to maintain, even with the help of the Tianyi Immortals, it would be hard for anyone to follow his orders again.

  Looking at Xuan Yuan's unwilling face, Yun Zhongzi stepped forward and said: "The Human Emperor does not need to blame himself. One victory or defeat cannot decide anything. Chi You is only temporarily victorious. As long as we work together, we can definitely defeat him."

  Xuanyuan sighed, "The Taoist has no idea, there are already voices of discontent towards me among the human tribe. This time, we suffered heavy casualties and losses, so my prestige in the human tribe will probably drop to its lowest point. It will be difficult for any tribes to listen to my commands from now on."

  Yun Zhongzi knew that Xuan Yuan was telling the truth, and he couldn't think of a way to resolve the current crisis. If Xuan Yuan couldn't get through the current crisis, then the prestige of the Yan Jiao would plummet among the human race, and it would also become a laughing stock for all the saints.

  Guang Chengzi also felt helpless in his heart. He had originally thought that by becoming the master of the Human Emperor, he would be able to obtain infinite merit, but he hadn't expected that being the master of the Human Emperor wouldn't be so easy after all. All he could do was sigh and say: "If it really doesn't work out, we might as well go back and ask our teacher for advice on what to do next. What does everyone think?"

  Ran Deng did not want to go back and see Yuan Shi Tian Zun, so he said: "This statement is not suitable, the teacher let us come to assist Ren Huang, has made the greatest effort, if we go back, can only make it difficult for the teacher. The teacher cannot take action for a small Da Wu, if so, will become the laughing stock of all saints, this matter still needs us to solve by ourselves."

  Yun Zhongzi said: "In this case, we can only have two choices. One is to go and ask Shibo Taishang Laojun for help. Shibo is the master of the human world, and the dispute between humans and demons belongs to the jurisdiction of the human world. I think he will give us some help. The second is to go and ask Shishu Tongtian Jiao for help. The Jiao sect claims that millions of immortals come to pay homage, and its power is the strongest among the three sects. If we have the help of the Jiao sect, then Chiyou will be nothing."

  Guang Chengzi sighed and said, "My junior brother does not know that my Master is the one who was sought by our teacher and Shibo. Since Shibo's door only has Xuan Dou as his senior brother, he will definitely not let him enter the tribulation. Therefore, it is impossible for Shibo to lend us a hand again. As for asking Tongtian Shu, it is even more difficult. Originally, this matter of Master was discussed between our teacher and Shibo privately, without informing Tongtian Shu. Now that we are in trouble, Tongtian Shu will certainly not pay attention to us. Moreover, our teacher has always been at odds with Tongtian Shu. If we go to ask for his help, where would our teacher's face be?"

  Huang Long Zhen Ren said: "This won't work and that won't work either. What do you think we should do, Shixiong?"

  Guang Chengzi sighed, "Now it can only be one step at a time. Xuan Yuan's position as the Human Emperor has been recognized by all the saints, while Chi You has the support of the Wu tribe. When the time comes, all the saints will assist him, so for now, let Chi You enjoy himself for a while."

  Yun Zhongzi said, "But if it's like this, we will inevitably be affected when spreading the teachings of humanity. Xuan Yuan has clashed with Chi You several times, but each time they suffered heavy casualties. There are already people in the human tribe who are dissatisfied with him. If this matter is not handled properly, his position as the Human Emperor may also be difficult to maintain. We must consider Xuan Yuan's situation, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable."

  Ran Deng said: "Yun Zhongzi's younger brother is right, we have obtained the position of Master of Humanity and should assist in governing the world. If Xuan Yuan loses the support of humanity, even if a sage acknowledges him as the Human Emperor, it will be useless. Without people's hearts, having the title of Human Emperor is meaningless."

  Guang Chengzi sighed, "But now we are indeed not Chi You's opponent. If we continue to fight, the casualties of the human tribe will be even greater. Moreover, although Chi You's large array is not a great threat to us, it is still a huge threat to ordinary human soldiers. If there is no way to break this formation, the human army is simply not Chi You's opponent."

  Yun Zhongzi, the most skilled in array techniques among the Tian Jiao immortals, said: "The large array of Chi You is only a hastily arranged one. The thirteen flags used to set up the array can only be considered as magical tools with very little power. However, based on my experience, these thirteen flags can absorb the power of the soul to evolve. If all thirteen flags evolve into acquired spiritual treasures, even quasi-saints will find it difficult to resist them. If we cannot eliminate Chi You before these thirteen flags evolve into acquired spiritual treasures, our troubles will be great afterwards."

  Guang Chengzi sighed, "You've also seen the current situation of the human and dragon tribes joining forces. They don't have any fighting power at all now. How can we be considered enemies of the Jiuli tribe protected by the witch tribe just relying on ourselves? Moreover, this is an internal struggle within the human tribe. If we kill too many humans, I'm afraid it will also incur Master's dissatisfaction."

  Yun Zhongzi said: "The Wu tribe openly supports Chi You, and the Yao tribe will surely respond. The reason why the Long tribe joined the war is probably because they were forced by the Yao tribe, making them unable to do otherwise. The Yao tribe cannot let the Wu tribe occupy the position of Ren Huang, so why don't we go find the Yao master Kun Peng and ask for his help? What does everyone think?"

  Ran Deng didn't want Kun Peng to intervene in the struggle for the Human Emperor, so he said: "Although Kun Peng is a demon master, you must not forget that he had long since broken with the demon tribe. Moreover, his relationship with Zu Wu Hou Tu is very good, how could he possibly lend us a hand?"

  Yun Zhongzi disagreed and said, "Although Kunpeng is very close to Zu Wu Hou Tu, he also has another identity as the Holy Master of the Human Tribe. Now that such a big problem has occurred within the Human Tribe, it's only natural for him to come forward and resolve it."

  Ran Deng sighed, "When Xuan Yuan succeeded the Human Emperor, Kun Peng didn't even show up, which shows that he doesn't have a good impression of Xuan Yuan. Even if we go to ask him, I'm afraid it won't do any good."

  Guang Chengzi was proud and arrogant, ever since he suffered from Kunpeng's anger in the North Ming Sea, he had been dissatisfied with Kunpeng. He would not go to ask for Kunpeng's help, but only heard him say: "What Master Fumian said is right, Kunpeng's character will not care about the internal disputes of this tribe, we went to ask for his help and only lost our own face."

  Xuanyuan's mood fluctuated after listening to the debate among the Xianjiao sages. When he first became the Human Emperor, he was indeed spirited and majestic, with the support of the Xianjiao behind him, and his prestige in the human tribe was even higher than that of the Dragon Tribe. However, after several battles with Chiyou, his prestige in the human tribe plummeted, and many dissatisfied tribes began to stir up trouble. If it weren't for the help of the Dragon Tribe's army, perhaps many tribes in the human tribe would no longer listen to his orders. The previous two Human Emperors had the assistance of the Human Saint, and they achieved great merit without going through too much turmoil. He himself was also a Human Emperor with the support of the Xianjiao, but fate was so different.

  Xuanyuan did not blame the Immortals of the Xuanmen, he also saw that they were all doing their best to help him, but his luck was too bad, and he was defeated by Chiyou several times.

  Guang Chengzi saw Xuan Yuan's haggard appearance and felt uncomfortable in his heart. As the master of the Human Emperor, he was powerless to solve Xuan Yuan's current troubles, which made him feel even more distressed.

  "Just listen, Guang Chengzi said: "Xuanyuan, this time the defeat of the army is not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself, it's all because I'm useless as a teacher and couldn't help you. You don't have to worry too much about the internal affairs of the human tribe. As long as we tell the nine Li tribes about the great witchcraft, the relationship between humans and witches is not ideal, they probably won't bother you again."

  Xuanyuan said, "Teacher, you don't know that although the relationship between humans and witches is not good, there are witches in every human tribe. So, those tribes that are dissatisfied with me will not care whether Chiyou has the help of the witch tribe or not."

  Guang Chengzi did not expect that there would be people in the human tribe who would not care whether Chi You had the help of the witch tribe. In his heart, he had always thought that the human tribe was extremely disgusted with the witch tribe, after all, the human tribe was created by the holy woman Nuwa, so it was natural to oppose the witch tribe. In fact, Guang Chengzi did not understand that under the guidance of Kunpeng, the human tribe does not care what kind of race you are, as long as you can benefit the human tribe, then the human tribe can tolerate you. Kunpeng is a demon, and the relationship between humans and demons is very bad, but no one will be dissatisfied with Kunpeng because he is a demon.

  Yun Zhongzi was more aware of the human thoughts and said, "The reason why some humans oppose the Human Emperor is mainly because the Human Emperor's actions are too overbearing, touching their interests. Wanting to pacify these people with force alone is not feasible; it also requires certain benefits to make them stop opposing the Human Emperor."
