Lu Xiaoran's ultimate goal was achieved.
First, through the ancient forbidden land, the potential of Ji Wushang and others was greatly demonstrated.
As long as they have enough potential and strength, they will naturally be able to easily gain the attention of the top elders of the royal family.
They don't care whether you are the crown prince or the prince consort. Anyway, you are all of the royal blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as your qualifications are strong enough, you can more easily grow into a top master. This is what they want.
The interests of the group are always greater than the interests of the individual or a small group of people.
In the ancient forbidden area, the powerful second-level emperor realm master who guarded the Great Zhou was also in the forbidden area at this time, quickly searching for the whereabouts of the imperial weapon.
At this time, he was the only one in the ancient forbidden area, and he was also a member of the Great Zhou royal elders group. Once he got the imperial weapon, no one would snatch it from him.
This is simply like putting a big cake with no one guarding it in front of him.
"Where exactly is this imperial soldier?"
After searching for half a day without any results, the guardian elder couldn't help but frown.
Logically speaking, now that Lin Fei is dead, the imperial weapon has become an ownerless object. It will not be suppressed by someone like when it had an owner, and it will not deliberately hide its aura.
And how powerful is the aura of an imperial soldier?
Even if only a tiny amount leaked out, it would be extremely huge. How come he didn't feel anything?
Just when he was wondering, Lu Xiaoran also walked out from his own map of mountains, rivers, and the country.
Guardian Elder: “???”
Lu Xiaoran: “???”
The two looked at each other, both with confused expressions.
"I have already transferred all the human monks out. Why are you still in the ancient forbidden land?"
After a moment of silence, he came to his senses and questioned the guardian elder in a cold voice.
Lu Xiaoran thought about it and vaguely guessed something.
When he captured Lin Fei, Lin Fei was holding the imperial weapon in his hand, which meant that Lin Fei had exposed the fact that he possessed the imperial weapon.
Once this news got out, it would be impossible for the royal family of the Great Zhou not to come in and search.
"I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf or what?"
Just as Lu Xiaoran was thinking, the other party's voice came again.
After two seconds of silence, Lu Xiaoran opened his map of mountains, rivers and the country again.
On the other side, in the study of Prince Zining’s mansion, Prince Zining stared into Ji Wuxia’s eyes.
The father and daughter remained in a stalemate for half an hour.
In the end, King Zining was defeated first.
He sighed quietly and couldn't help but said:
"It's been so long, and you still won't tell me about your master?"
"Why doesn't Father ask my eldest brother?"
King Zining glanced at her unhappily.
"That's your master. How much can your elder brother know about his depth? Can I ask him the same questions as you?"
Ji Wuxia took a deep breath, looking embarrassed.
"Father, please don't ask any more questions. No matter what, I will never betray my master. My master has been so kind to me. If it weren't for him, I would never have achieved what I have today. If you must punish me, I am willing to die to pay for it."
King Zining rubbed his temple.
"Well, I have raised my daughter for so many years, but it's all in vain."
"Father, I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize. In fact, even if you didn't tell me, I could probably guess it. Lin Fei was killed by your master, right? Apart from your master, I really can't think of anyone else who would kill him!
In addition, if nothing unexpected happens, Lin Fei’s imperial weapon will probably fall into his hands, right?
Originally, I would not have thought of him, but a few days ago, when I was dealing with Huang Quan Ming Lao, I was wondering who that guy with the emperor realm cultivation and the emperor weapon in hand could be.
It wasn't until I saw how powerful you and your elder brother had become that I had a vague guess.
Moreover, when you went to the ancient forbidden land, your two senior brothers and your junior brother, although wearing clothes different from your master's, they were also worn to avoid being seen and to prevent people from knowing their identities.
Originally, based on these alone, I would not dare to conclude that he is your master.
However, your master made a thousand calculations, but he made one wrong move.
That is, the fourth disciple he accepted was Li Changsheng!"
Ji Wuxia was a little surprised.
"Father knows my junior brother?"
King Zining didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What do you think of your father? I am the prince of the Great Zhou after all. Don't you think I don't even recognize a genius like Li Changsheng? Isn't that ridiculous?
Li Changsheng's cultivation had been abolished and he was placed in the imperial capital, begging for a living.
Such a useless beggar could be revived, and his cultivation level increased rapidly in just one month. Your master's methods would make even gods ashamed if they saw them. "
Ji Wuxia took a deep breath, then bowed and said:
"Please, father, keep this a secret. If it is leaked, my master will kill everyone to silence them. Father can't bear it, and the Great Zhou can't protect you either."
Upon hearing this, King Zining's body shook, and a storm surged in his heart.
Ji Wuxia definitely didn't know the details of the royal family, but she should have an idea of how powerful the royal family was.
But even so, she said so, which means that her master Lu Xiaoran is much more powerful than she imagined.
After taking a deep breath, King Zining suppressed his inner shock and said:
"Don't worry. Although I am the prince of the Great Zhou, I am also your and Wushang's father. I will not do anything that is detrimental to you. This time, the Great Ancestor Elder has spoken and confirmed the competition for the crown prince. I guess your master has also made a plan, right?"
Ji Wuxia nodded. There was no need for her to hide this.
"My master's intention is to let my elder brother succeed to the throne. He should help my elder brother improve his strength once again."
King Zining's expression showed a little worry.
"Is your master's method of improving his cultivation serious?"
After a pause, he seemed to feel that what he said was not comprehensive enough, and asked again:
"What I mean is, will there be any damage to the foundation, so that it will be difficult to move forward on the road of martial arts in the future?"
Ji Wuxia smiled and said:
"Don't worry, father. My master never cheats his own people. He helped my brother improve his strength. It was absolutely natural and there was no harm in it."
"That's fine. However, even though your master is powerful, you still have to be careful. If he kills Lin Fei, it will definitely lead to disaster. It may even cause the death of all of you."
Ji Wuxia was suddenly startled.
"What do you mean, father?"
King Zining leaned back in his chair, exhaled deeply, and his eyes were lost in reminiscence.
"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."
