Lu Xiaoran’s final goal was finally achieved.

First, he would use the Ancient Forbidden Area to greatly display the potential of Ji Wushang and the others.

As long as they had enough potential and strength, they would naturally be able to easily obtain the attention of the Elder Group at the top of the Imperial Family.

Those people did not care if one was an Imperial Family prince or an imperial palace descendant. In any case, they all had the bloodline of the Great Zhou Imperial Family. As long as one’s talent was powerful enough, they could easily grow to a top-notch expert. This was what they needed.

The benefits of a group were always greater than the benefits of an individual or a small number of people.

…

In the Ancient Forbidden Area, the second level Emperor Realm expert guard was also quickly searching for the whereabouts of the Martial Monarch Realm weapon.

At this moment, he was the only one in the Ancient Forbidden Area. Moreover, he was also a member of the Great Zhou Imperial Family’s Elder Group. After obtaining the Martial Monarch Realm weapon, no one would snatch it from him.

This was simply equivalent to someone placing an unprotected huge cake in front of him.

“Where is this Martial Monarch Realm weapon?”

After searching for half a day without any results, the guardian elder could not help but frown.

Logically speaking, since Lin Fei was already dead, the Martial Monarch Realm weapon should not have an owner. It would not be suppressed by its master and its aura would not be deliberately hidden.

How powerful was the aura of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon?

Even if only a trace of it was leaked, it would still be extremely noticeable. Why did he not sense anything?

Just as he was feeling strange, Lu Xiaoran also walked out from his Mountain and River State Painting.

The guardian elder: “???”

Lu Xiaoran: “???”

The two of them looked at each other in confusion.

“I’ve already transferred all the human cultivators away. Why are you still in the Ancient Forbidden Area?”

After a moment of silence, he woke up and questioned coldly.

Lu Xiaoran thought for a moment and vaguely guessed something.

When he captured Lin Fei, Lin Fei was holding a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. This meant that Lin Fei had already exposed the fact that he had a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.

If this news spread, it was impossible for the Great Zhou Imperial Family not to enter and search.

“I’m asking you a question. Are you deaf?”

Just as Lu Xiaoran was thinking, the other party’s voice sounded again.

Lu Xiaoran was silent for two seconds before opening his Mountain and River State Painting again.

…

On the other side, in the study of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace, King Zining stared at Ji Wuxia’s eyes.

The father and daughter were in a stalemate for an hour.

In the end, King Zining was the first to lose and break the silence.

He sighed faintly and could not help but say,

“It’s been so long. Are you still unwilling to tell me about your master?”

“Father, why don’t you ask Big Brother?”

King Zining glanced at her angrily.

“That’s your master. How much does your brother know? Wouldn’t it be better for me to ask you?”

Ji Wuxia took a deep breath and had a difficult expression.

“Father, stop asking. No matter what, I won’t betray my master. My master’s kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. If not for him, it would be impossible for me to reach my current state in my life. If you insist on punishing me, I will apologize with my life.”

King Zining rubbed his temples.

“Damn, I’ve raised this daughter for so many years for nothing.”

“Father, I’m sorry.”

“There’s no need to apologize. Actually, even if you don’t say it, I can probably guess. Lin Fei was killed by your master, right? Other than your master, I really can’t think of anyone else who would kill him!”

“In addition, if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Fei’s Martial Monarch Realm weapon would probably also fall into his hands, right?

“Originally, I wouldn’t have thought of him. However, a few days ago, when I was dealing with Elder Netherworld, I was puzzled as to who the guy with the Martial Monarch Realm weapon was.

“It was only when I saw your and your brother’s cultivation become so powerful that I vaguely guessed something.

“Moreover, when they went to the Ancient Forbidden Area, your two senior brothers and junior brothers had worn different clothes than your master. However, they had also hidden their identities from others.

“Originally, with just the information that I had, I did not dare to completely infer that it was your master.

“However, your master had miscalculated.

“That is, the fourth disciple he took in is Li Changsheng!”

Ji Wuxia was somewhat surprised.

“Father knows my junior brother?”

King Zining was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

“What do you think your father is? I’m a king of the Great Zhou after all. Do you think that I wouldn’t even know about an outstanding genius like Li Changsheng? Isn’t that too ridiculous?”

Li Changsheng had already been crippled and placed in the Imperial City to beg for life.

“Your master was even able to make such a useless beggar like him useful again. Moreover, his cultivation increased rapidly in a short month. I’m afraid even the gods will be ashamed of themselves after witnessing your master’s methods.”

Ji Wuxia took a deep breath and cupped her hands.

“Father, please keep this matter a secret. If news of this leaks, my master will definitely silence you. If Father… can’t handle it, the Great Zhou… won’t be able to protect Father.”

Hearing this, King Zining’s body trembled, and a storm surged in his heart.

Ji Wuxia definitely did not know the background of the Imperial Family. However, Ji Wuxia still had a concept of how powerful the Imperial Family was.

However, if she said that despite knowing, it would mean that her master, Lu Xiaoran, was much stronger than King Zining imagined.

After taking a deep breath, King Zining suppressed the shock in his heart and continued, “Don’t worry. Although I’m a King of the Great Zhou, I’m also your and Wushang’s father. I won’t do anything harmful to you. This time, Elder Patriarch has confirmed the competition for the throne. I believe your master has also made plans, right?”

Ji Wuxia nodded. There was no need for her to hide this.

“My master means to let Brother inherit the throne. He should be able to help Brother increase his strength again.”

King Zining’s expression was somewhat worried.

“Is your master’s method of increasing his cultivation proper?”

After a pause, he seemed to feel that his meaning was not comprehensive enough.

“What I mean is, will it cause any damage to your foundation, making it difficult for you to advance in the future?”

Ji Wuxia smiled and said,

“Don’t worry, Father. My master never harms his own people. His intentions of helping Brother increase his strength is definitely pure. There’s no harm at all.”

“That’s good. However, although your master is powerful, you still can’t be careless. If he kills Lin Fei, he will definitely cause a disaster. It might even cost you all your lives.”

Ji Wuxia was suddenly shocked.

“What do you mean, Father?”

King Zining leaned back in his chair and exhaled deeply, his eyes sinking into nostalgia.

“It’s a long story. If I have to tell you, I can only tell you that it was a mistake I made when I was young.”
