Chapter 144 Ziya Enters the Palace
Thus, King Zhou issued an edict summoning Jiang Ziya to the palace.
Daji came up with this plan, originally intending to harm Jiang Ziya, so as long as he accepted it, regardless of whether he did well or not, it would mean death.
But could he not accept it?
King Zhou summoned Jiang Ziya to the Star Pick Building. After Jiang Ziya looked over the designs, he smiled and said, "My dear minister, what do you think of this high platform?"
"It is truly an Immortal Palace, unlike mortal places in the Human World."
Upon hearing this, King Zhou was even more delighted, waved his hand grandly, and said, "Then this matter is entrusted to you. When the Deer Platform is built, I will promote you without fail!"
Jiang Ziya sighed in his heart, knowing that whether he accepted the task or not, it would mean death.
He thought to himself, Nezha was right; indeed, within this palace, Daji is a seductive demon. Ever since he burned the Jade Pipa Spirit, he had thoroughly offended her.
"Though Zhaoge is good, it is not where I will rise to power. I can’t stay here long. However, the Emperor had treated me with favor. I will try to persuade him once. If that fails, I will escape."
With this thought, he glanced at Mo Lishou standing on the high side, thinking that with him there, flying away with tunnel light might not be possible.
