"Just state the result."
Zhou Zhenxiong had no interest in listening to Ling Aotian's nonsense.
All he wanted to know now was the casualty situation of the four major families and Li Fan's side in the Battle of Jiangzhou.
As for the outcome, it can be seen from Ling Aotian's expression.
The four major families are doomed to defeat.
"Your Majesty, this battle..."
After Ling Aotian finished speaking, the air in the garden seemed to freeze.
Zhou Zhenxiong leaned forward slightly, his face full of solemnity.
He never expected the Battle of Jiangzhou to end like this.
The four major families mobilized so many top experts, yet they almost suffered total annihilation, while the opposing team didn't lose a single person.
Regardless of Li Fan's progress, Chen Kui might actually have broken through!
Zhou Zhenxiong's views on the four major families are consistent with those of Zhou Boxing.
Dongfang Taiyue and Bei Mingcang are definitely not the strongest among this group.
But the strongest one did not appear until the end of the battle.
Then there's only one possibility: that person died, in some unknown corner.
Only the invincible among men can kill such a top-tier expert silently.
Therefore, the only person who is invincible in the world can be Chen Kui.
"Recall the rest and have them remain in Tiandu for seclusion!"
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!"
Ling Aotian bowed deeply, his heart finally at ease.
Zhou Zhenxiong got up and walked towards the outside of Zijinyuan.
Things had developed to this point, which was beyond his expectations.
Based on his understanding of the four major families, he was certain they would tolerate it this time.
As long as Li Fan's side doesn't go on a killing spree in Jiangzhou, the local warlords will compromise and at least won't interfere with what the Jixia Academy is doing.
But this also means that my good days are over!
In the past, Chen Kui only gave him headaches.
Chen Kui now is enough to cost him his head.
There was no other way but to go there.
......
Tiandu, Imperial Mausoleum.
The entire mountain was covered in snow, and it was as silent as night.
Zhou Zhenxiong entered this forbidden area of the royal family alone.
As he stepped in, the snow on the mountain dome melted.
The elderly man, though in his eighties, possessed a powerful, vigorous spirit, his intense gaze piercing down.
This intense anger contained no expectation for the younger generation, but rather rage.
"Zhou Zhenxiong, you beast, how dare you come here!"
The old man's voice was like thunder, shaking the mountains.
Zhou Zhenxiong glanced at the old man, then walked straight into the depths of the mountains.
His indifference only fueled the old man's anger.
He roared and howled, but could only watch Zhou Zhenxiong walk away.
There's nothing he can do.
The imperial mausoleum was originally a secret realm of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This place has the heritage of imperial families throughout history.
The elderly are also part of the royal family's heritage.
But ironically, neither he nor anyone else dared to touch Zhou Zhenxiong.
......
Deep within the imperial mausoleum, a solitary stone hall stands.
As Zhou Zhenxiong entered the stone hall, the relaxed expression on his face disappeared.
The spacious stone hall appears somewhat empty.
In the center stands a huge stone tablet.
The stone tablet is engraved with tiny characters.
These are the names of deceased members of the royal family.
The last two names were none other than Zhou Yugan and Zhou Wucheng.
The top of the stone tablet is blank.
Previously, Zhou Zhenxiong was not qualified to have access to these things.
But three years ago he learned that the blank space at the top was reserved for the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But he did not die!
Zhou Zhenxiong walked to the back of the stone tablet, where a figure sat upright like a rock.
Zhou Zhenxiong had seen that face more than once in the Taiji Hall.
Emperor Wu of Zhou, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Zhou Zhenxiong bowed respectfully, but the figure did not react.
Zhou Zhenxiong, on the other hand, seemed to be used to it and walked straight into the depths of the main hall.
There, a huge bronze cauldron was placed.
The bronze tripod is engraved with the image of mountains and rivers stretching for thousands of miles.
The former Shang dynasty ruled the entire world.
He once cast five imperial treasures.
The Great Shang Dynasty Dragon Seal, the Emperor's Sword, the Imperial Robe, the Mountain and River Cauldron, and the Myriad Dragons Diagram.
After the Shang dynasty was destroyed, the Five Imperial Treasures were taken over by the Five Great Immortal Sects.
The cauldron before us is the Mountain and River Cauldron, one of the Five Imperial Treasures.
The significance of placing the Shanhe Ding (a type of ancient Chinese bronze vessel) in the Great Zhou Imperial Mausoleum is self-evident.
Besides its deterrent effect, the Mountain and River Cauldron has another function.
That means heading to the Purple Sun Immortal Sect.
Everyone knows that the Ziyang Immortal Sect is in Zhongzhou, but no one knows its exact location.
It could be a mountain that doesn't exist on a map, or it could be a speck of dust.
Zhou Zhenxiong, of course, also didn't know.
All he knew was that he could travel to the Purple Sun Immortal Sect through the Mountain and River Cauldron.
Zhou Zhenxiong took out three incense sticks, kowtowed nine times, and then put the incense into the cauldron.
Below the smoke and clouds, ash was scattered out.
Once the incense had burned out, a vortex appeared in the cauldron.
Zhou Zhenxiong stepped into the vortex as if he had never been there.
......
Although this was his third visit, Zhou Zhenxiong was still deeply impressed.
Before him appeared a series of suspended palaces.
The halls and pavilions are paved with white jade.
Zhou Zhenxiong stood still, respectfully waiting for the person to arrive.
After an unknown amount of time, a crimson magic sword emerged from the depths.
The magic sword hovered in front of Zhou Zhenxiong, who respectfully bowed and said, "Zhou Zhenxiong greets the Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace!"
"What is it?"
A steady voice came from within the sword.
After Zhou Zhenxiong finished explaining the situation, the voice from the magic sword came again.
"Stay here until you break through!"
Upon hearing the voice coming from the magic sword, Zhou Zhenxiong felt a chill run down his spine.
The "Secret Records of the Son of Heaven" that he practiced was not a martial art of the Great Zhou royal family.
The method of inhaling and circulating qi to strengthen oneself was something that none of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty had ever mastered.
He obtained this martial arts technique from his boss three years ago.
Nobody should know this!
Why would the Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace know this?
As if sensing Zhou Zhenxiong's shock, the Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace spoke again: "Remember, the heaven of the Great Zhou belongs to the Purple Sun Immortal Sect!"
sky!
The Emperor!
I see.
Zhou Zhenxiong's once upright figure was now slightly hunched.
The Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace was very satisfied with his attitude.
With the magic sword leading the way, Zhou Zhenxiong followed respectfully behind.
But in his heart, a fire was burning.
This technique is indeed problematic.
Fortunately, this wasn't the path I decided to take.
Ziyang Immortal Sect, you wait.
Sooner or later, I will trample you under my feet.
However, he must be extremely careful until that day arrives.
After all, the lofty Lord of the Crimson Sun Palace was only one of the seven palaces of the Purple Sun Immortal Sect.
There were five others of similar status to him.
Above them is the most powerful and mysterious Lord of the Purple Sun Palace.
