Ji Chang of the Western Zhou pays a visit to Jiang Ziya and makes him the chancellor of Zhou. After the death of Ji Chang, his second son Ji Fa succeeded the throne. Generals and officers, persecuted by King Zhou, flee to the Western Zhou one after another. King Zhou repeatedly sends troops to suppress the Western Zhou. With the help of *Chanjiao* deities, Jiang Ziya removes the sorcery and leads the army to march toward the Shang, including Li Jing and his sons. *Jiejiao* demons assist with King Zhou with various evil tricks, but Jiang Ziya, after various setbacks, wins at last. He captures Chaoge, the capital of Shang, and seizes Daji and other demons. King Zhou burns himself. Ji Fa enters the palace, gives out clothes and food to the poor, and assigns official posts and fiefs.
