566: The "Plague Umbrella" is a life-saving trick!

"It is not an open confrontation," Lü Yue laughed. "The heavenly law of merit and virtue measures Karma and Karma, but it cannot necessarily calculate the depths of the human heart and treacherous schemes, nor can it stop the changes of 'Heavenly Destiny'."

"The Killing Tribulation is about to begin. This was personally decreed by the Dao Ancestor. Even the Jade Emperor cannot completely reverse it."

"We only need to go with the flow. Amidst this Killing Tribulation, we will pave the way for the Young Master, letting what should happen, happen, and letting those who should fall, fall..."

"When the dust settles and the Young Master ascends with the momentum, even the Heavenly Court will have to acknowledge the established fact."

"And the meritorious officials under the Young Master's command will naturally be able to enjoy Luck, avoiding that harsh Karma audit. Even if we fail, we can still secure a better position on the investiture of the gods list!"

He took a deep breath: "What do you need me to do?"

"The Marquis of the West is the head of the eight hundred feudal lords, yet he is destined to face a death tribulation."

"The old Marquis of the West used his own death to fill the void in his destiny, allowing him to inherit the marquis title."

"However, is destiny really that simple? It can be mended, but it can also be broken!"

Ji Fa's heart rate suddenly accelerated, and cold sweat seeped from his palms.

Lü Yue observed his expression, knowing the timing was right, and slowly took an object from his sleeve: a doll about seven inches tall, woven from unknown withered yellow grass stems.

The doll's features were blurred, and a piece of yellow paper was pasted on it, with the birth date and time written on it.

"This straw doll has great power. It bears Bo Yikao's birth date and time."

"If the Second Young Master is willing to bow to it every day."

"In just seven days, you can use your own destiny as a hidden dragon of the Son of Heaven to break open the death tribulation in Bo Yikao's life that has been suppressed."

"By then, even if he has all kinds of virtue, he will surely meet with disaster, whether it be a sudden illness or an accidental death..."

"And you, Young Master, will be able to fully absorb his remaining Luck, and your own hidden dragon destiny will be completely ignited. The power of Western Qi, and even the future mandate of heaven, will naturally fall into your hands!"

Ji Fa looked at the straw doll, his breathing becoming heavy.

"No need to do it yourself, no need for weapons, just a daily bow, and in seven days, you can eliminate your brother, the biggest obstacle, and steal his Luck..."

"This technique... can it really succeed?"

Lü Yue smiled confidently: "This technique originates from ancient shamanic Gu, secretly aligning with the wonders of Karma and stealing Luck; it is the most secretive method."

"Furthermore, this is not harming others, nor is it a curse; it is merely revealing a person's destined fate and Luck clearly between heaven and earth."

"He is destined to die, it is fate. Someone took your Luck to change his destiny, and you are just restoring it."

"The laws of heaven are clear, what fault is there? You have not harmed anyone."

"You are just taking back the portion of Luck that the old Marquis of the West transferred from you to your elder brother."

Ji Fa stared fixedly at the straw doll, his inner self in a state of conflict.

"I am not harming him; I am just taking back the portion of Luck that belongs to me."

"Is there anything wrong with taking back what is mine? I am not wrong." Ji Fa took the straw doll.

"When I am prepared, I will act."

Lü Yue nodded and stood up: "In that case, this Daoist will await the good news. Fellow Daoists from Jinao Island will also secretly help the Young Master clear obstacles and accumulate power."

"I hope the Young Master will soon take charge of Western Qi and raise the banner of justice. When that time comes, the ten thousand immortals of my Jie Sect will surely serve as your vanguard to break the shackles of the Heavenly Court together!"

After saying this, his figure dissipated into green smoke.

In the side hall, only Ji Fa remained.

He stood there quietly.

"Father, you ascended to heaven with 'Virtue'. Brother, you maintained the Legacy with 'Morality'. One became the Ziwei Emperor, and one became the Lord of Western Qi!"

"But what about me? You are taking my Heavenly Destiny to exchange for your own status!"

"Is it fair?"

"I want to fight for it! I don't want to be an ordinary general; I want to do what I should do."

Undercurrents surged in Western Qi, and murderous intent lurked in the human world.

Meanwhile, at Chentang Pass, the Eleven Zha siblings, having undergone Golden Core tempering and Legacy assimilation, did not slack off because of the killing of Ma Yuan.

On the contrary, the "heavenly law of merit and virtue" hung high, revealing every detail of Karma and Karma, like a bright lamp illuminating the demons and monsters of the world.

On this day, Third Zha activated his Thousand-Mile Eye Divine Ability, routinely patrolling in all directions, looking for red names to accumulate Karma.

His gaze crossed Chentang Pass and scanned the vast mountains to the west. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and divine light erupted in his eyes.

"Brother, seven hundred miles to the southwest, in the direction of Soul-Falling Valley, there are massive pillars of grey-black Karma Qi soaring into the sky!"

"One of them is particularly thick, faintly glowing with a scarlet blood light!"

Nezha rubbed the qiankun circle around his neck: "Hahahaha, more work! Brothers, get ready to go!"

"Alright!"

The other children echoed in agreement, all eager and full of excitement.

With Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Listening Ear monitoring all directions, they could find red names.

Eliminating demons to accumulate Karma was something they did every day, and now each of them was glowing with golden light, their Karma deep.

A moment later, eleven streams of light soared into the sky from Chentang Pass, cutting through the long sky and heading straight for Soul-Falling Valley in the southwest!

The leader, stepping on wind fire wheels, holding the fire-tipped spear, with the universe ring fluttering, was none other than Nezha.

Behind him, Third Zha and Fourth Zha were responsible for reconnaissance and early warning, Fifth Zha and Sixth Zha were the vanguard for assault, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, and Tenth Brother provided flanking support and mobile harassment, and the youngest, Twelve Zha, was strictly ordered to stay at a safe distance in the rear, ready to provide healing support at any time.

Soul-Falling Valley was treacherous, with two mountains flanking a gully, surrounded by gloomy mist all year round.

In the valley, strange rocks were jagged, withered trees were twisted, and there were faint sounds of ghosts wailing.

At this moment, in a clearing deep in the valley that had been cleared by man, Evil Qi was pervasive.

Lü Yue was prominently among them, directing several Disciples to set up a sinister formation.

The formation base was drawn with bones and filthy blood, and seven black banners were inserted in the center, with ferocious Gu insect patterns embroidered on the banners, absorbing the pestilence Qi that was constantly gathering.

Besides Lü Yue, there were four others in the field, his four great Disciples:

Li Qi: Face like blue indigo, hair like cinnabar, holding a fever-inducing banner, specializing in spreading pestilence.

Yang Wenhui: Wearing a fish-tail crown and crimson silk clothes, holding a pestilence-spreading whip, with strange light flickering on the tip of the whip, capable of striking people's souls.

Zhu Tianlin: Short and fat, with a greasy face, carrying a coma sword; with a flash of sword light, people fall into a coma.

Zhou Xin: Pale as paper, with sinister eyes, wearing a headache chime at his waist; as soon as the chime sounds, it can cause splitting headaches and dissipate magic power.

These four, plus Lü Yue, were the prototype of the future "Orthodox Gods of the Plague Department" who would become famous in the Investiture of the Gods war.

At this moment, they were setting up the "Four Symbols Plague Formation" here, gathering pestilence poison from a thousand miles to refine the Myriad Plague Parasol.

If this treasure were completed, once the parasol was opened, it could cause all living beings within a thousand miles to be infected. Even practitioners could not escape; the life or death of millions of people would depend entirely on their will.

"Disciples, hurry up!" Lü Yue urged: "Once this treasure is refined, we master and Disciples will have real confidence."

"If anyone wants to kill us because we have Karma on us."

"Then we will release this Plague Parasol and let a great plague sweep the world, covering the land with corpses."

"At that time, the immeasurable Karma will be shared together."

"Even if they are protected by Karma and have become True Immortals of Merit, they will have to perish with us."

"At that time, who can kill us? Who dares to kill us?"

"Stop! Devil Head, how dare you set up an evil formation here to poison living beings!"

A clear shout, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, suddenly exploded over the Soul-Falling Valley!

The figures of the Eleven Zha appeared at the entrance of the valley like heavenly soldiers descending.
