Chapter 872 Ji Chang's Inference
Moreover, beings with great fortune are generally under the attention of the human race's fortune. If these great demons dare to kill, they will be specially targeted by the human race's fortune. Given their current low fortune, if they dare to kill Boyi Kao, they will be extremely unlucky under the targeting of the human race's fortune, and they will definitely perish before leaving the Nine Provinces!
However, since these great demons did not show any signs of misfortune, Ji Chang eventually ruled out their suspicions.
After much thought, Ji Chang still couldn't figure out who killed Boyi Kao. Just when he was at a loss, Ji Chang suddenly remembered the mysterious person who helped Xiqi break the formation!
Although Ji Chang did not see what the mysterious person looked like or what his personality was, he knew that this mysterious person was likely following the will of Heaven to help Xiqi prosper. The great demon that came to help Xiqi was also very likely brought by the mysterious person!
Besides this, Ji Chang also guessed that the mysterious person was very likely a sage. After all, if it was not a sage in person, why would the Jie Sect sage who was protecting the Yin Shang side appear so soon after?
There were only a handful of famous sages in the primordial world, but no matter how much Ji Chang searched, he couldn't figure out who that mysterious person was!
Although Ji Chang did not know who the mysterious man was, his intuition told him that he was the murderer who killed Boyi Kao. Even if the mysterious man did not do it himself, Boyi Kao's death was still related to him!
After identifying the murderer, Ji Chang began to think about the mysterious man's motive for killing his eldest son. After a brainstorming session, Ji Chang roughly guessed the reason for his eldest son's death!
In Ji Chang's view, there were actually three reasons for the death of his eldest son, Boyi Kao. First, Boyi Kao was close to the Yin Shang and did not want Xiqi to become a rebellious and treacherous state!
Secondly, the guy who was helping Xiqi behind the scenes didn't want Xiqi to have a way out. After all, only when Boyi Kao died and Xiqi's way out was completely cut off would they have the determination to fight to the death!
Thirdly, to make an example of someone, the death of Boyi Kao serves as a warning to Xiqi not to harbor any illusions. If they, like Boyi Kao, have thoughts of surrendering to the Shang Dynasty, that mysterious person would not mind making them die an unexplained death just like Boyi Kao!
After guessing the reason why the mysterious man killed his eldest son, Ji Chang felt a chill in his heart. He originally thought that the rise of Xiqi was a great thing for Xiqi, but who would have thought that there were huge risks behind the benefits!
Although Ji Chang wanted his eldest son Boyi Kao to avenge him, he valued his own life more than avenging his son. Therefore, after some deliberation, Ji Chang directly pinned the blame for the death of his eldest son Boyi Kao on the Yin Shang side!
When the people of Xiqi heard that Boyi Kao, who loved his people like his own children, had died at the hands of the gods of the Yin Shang Dynasty, they were all extremely angry. In particular, those people who had accepted Boyi Kao's kindness wished they could rush to the battlefield to avenge their eldest son, Boyi Kao!
However, soon, rumors began to circulate in Xiqi that Ji Chang had orchestrated and staged a drama in which he sacrificed the life of his abandoned eldest son to incite the people of Xiqi to hate the Shang Dynasty!
Some clear-headed people of Xiqi did not believe the rumors spread by Ji Chang, after all, why did Boyi Kao die not earlier or later, but only after he was demoted from Xiqi City!
Moreover, the rumors circulating in Xiqi were not as vague as the version passed down by Ji Chang. On the contrary, the reasons and motives were analyzed clearly and plainly. As long as the common people could distinguish right from wrong, they would know that the rumors circulating in the streets were more credible!
Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, did not expect the Shang Dynasty's retaliation to be so swift and fierce. By the time he realized that the mud he had thrown at the Shang Dynasty had been thrown back at him, the rumors circulating in the streets had already reached an uncontrollable level. If he tried to forcibly control the speech, it would be tantamount to smearing himself and adding more evidence to the Shang Dynasty's reputation!
