"Nothing for you to do, go back to your room."

The old prince scolded, but the retired emperor Ji Shangrong looked at the other party with interest, with a green light flashing in his eyes, as if he had found a prey.

"Hehe, if my guess is correct, this person is Ji Wushang, right? It is true that young people are heroes. At such a young age, he has already reached the realm of creation. Even when I was the same age and had the royal family's resources, I had never achieved this level of cultivation.

Seventh brother, you are so lucky to have such a wicked grandson."

Hearing these words, both Ji Wushang's expression and the expressions of the others present couldn't help but change slightly in an instant.

Everyone is not a fool. If they still can't guess the other party's identity after hearing this, then they would rather die.

The person in front of him was none other than the retired emperor, Ji Shangrong.

A powerful person in the imperial realm!

Moreover, it is not an ordinary imperial realm like those in the major royal palaces, but an existence in the late imperial realm!

Thinking of this, everyone can naturally think of another point, that is, the purpose of his coming here at this moment.

Kill Ji Wushang!

Ji Wushang will have a decisive battle with Crown Prince Ji Tianming tomorrow. According to the skills the two have shown at the moment, if things go as expected, Ji Wushang has almost a 99% chance of winning.

Therefore, it is almost certain that Ji Wushang is now the future crown prince and prince of the Great Zhou.

And how can the current royal family tolerate this?

The old prince said coldly:

"Ji Shangrong, you are not welcome here, leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

The emperor chuckled and stepped forward. A gust of wind spread out directly, and then with lightning speed, it blew several people away on the spot.

"ah--!"

Screams rang out one after another, but no one in the palace dared to resist, or rather, no one dared to go against him.

After all, he is a powerful emperor.

"You are so rude, let me see it for myself, okay?"

"You're looking for death!"

The old prince uttered this in an icy voice, then gave a light shout, and instantly rushed in front of the other party and suddenly punched him.

The retired emperor was obviously not someone to be trifled with. He stood where he was, calmly and unhurriedly, and also threw a punch to counter the old prince's punch.

boom--!

The two fists collided, causing a huge explosion in the air.

However, according to normal explosion rules, the explosion should be mainly centered on the two people and move toward the left and right sides. After all, the spiritual energy fields of the two people have already spread out, which is equivalent to setting up two defensive hills to block the shock waves generated by the explosion behind them.

However, it was a pity that Ji Shangrong's strength was obviously greater than that of the old prince, so after the fist fight, the old prince could not help but retreat several steps in succession. With each step, a huge deep pit appeared on the ground, and spider-web-like cracks quickly spread in all directions.

"Hehe, Seventh Brother, it seems that you haven't been focused enough in your training over the years."

The emperor seemed to be smiling, with a hint of disdain and arrogance in his eyes.

As if the old prince was inferior to him.

"Father!"

King Zining rushed over immediately, his face full of solemnity and anxiety.

"Father, what's going on? Why is the emperor here?"

The old prince snorted coldly.

"Nonsense, of course I came here to kill Wushang, otherwise how could I come here to discuss life with you in the middle of the night?"

"What?"

King Zining's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Emperor, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the elders for doing this? Aren't you afraid that you will suffer the consequences?"

Ji Shangrong smiled calmly.

"You're going to get what you want? Just you, or those elders who only know how to eat and wait for death?"

After a pause, he spoke again:

"I don't want to cause too much trouble. Hand over Ji Wushang. I promise that I will never harm the Zining Palace in the future. Otherwise, if anyone dies tonight, it can't be my fault."

The old prince spat.

"Stop being so pretentious here. I admit that your cultivation is higher than mine. But don't forget that this is the Imperial City. There are elders here. It's not your royal family that has the final say."

He knew better than anyone why the Supreme Emperor Ji Shangrong did this. His purpose was to protect Ji Tianming and create a way for Ji Tianming to succeed.

Even if he really killed himself and violated the rules of the Great Zhou royal family, he would not be beheaded, at most he would be punished more severely.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not be so stupid as to kill another emperor after the death of one emperor. That would be tantamount to cutting off the left and right arms of the royal family.

As long as Ji Wushang dies, no one will compete with Ji Tianming for the position of crown prince, and that will be enough.

Moreover, in the future, once Ji Tianming becomes the emperor, he will receive more resources. In the days when he sits on the throne, he will cultivate himself to the realm of Martial Emperor to ensure that the current royal family can continue to pass on its inheritance.

However, the more he took the risk of killing Ji Wushang, the more the old prince wanted to protect Ji Wushang.

Because that means that the position of the emperor above is tempting enough.

It's so tempting that even the emperor would risk his life!

"In that case, there is nothing to discuss."

The retired emperor smiled coldly, stomped his foot, and his body suddenly turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of the old prince.

"not good!"

The old prince launched a hasty attack to confront the retired emperor. Both of them were pushed back. The retired emperor was only pushed back a few steps, but the old prince was pushed back dozens of steps. His face was even flushed, his blood was boiling, and he almost couldn't help coughing.

He was not a fool. He knew that he was no match for the retired emperor Ji Shangrong, so he immediately shouted:

“Zining, quickly take Wushang to the Great Zhou Imperial Mausoleum. There are members of the Elders Council there. Once they are there, with the Elders in charge, no matter how brave Ji Shangrong is, he will not dare to hurt Wushang in the slightest.”

"No, when I came here just now, I found that the formation of the palace has been activated, and no one can get out."

The old prince's pupils shrank. He had already guessed something in his heart: it was the Emperor of the Great Zhou!

The Emperor of the Great Zhou controls all the formations in the entire imperial city. He is the only one who can remotely control the formations in the palace, and there is no way for the palace to unlock them.

Ji Shangrong smiled faintly and said:

"Are you surprised? Do you think I would come here directly without sufficient backup? This is the imperial city. The elders will find out if there is any movement."

"mean!"

The old prince spat, his heart full of contempt, but it also made him covet that position even more.

Must get the throne!

“Zining, go and protect Wushang. No matter what, don’t let anything happen to him. Even if the palace has been sealed by the formation, the elders will find something unusual after a long time. Just hold on for a while.”

"yes!"

King Zining immediately turned around to protect his son, while Ji Shangrong smiled faintly and said:

"It's no use. Now that I'm here, I'm naturally ready. Today, I must kill Ji Wushang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand and summoned a long sword with a dragon pattern on it.

The moment he saw the long sword, the old prince's pupils suddenly shrank.

That was the Mad Dragon Sword, one of the five imperial weapons left behind by Emperor Wu, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The opponent's cultivation level is already higher than mine, and now he's using the Mad Dragon Sword. I'm afraid this time he's going to be in great danger.

However, even so, he would do his best to protect Ji Wushang, the Zining Palace, and his descendants.

For him, inheriting bloodline is more important than his own life.

Even if he is already a Martial Emperor level master!

King Zining had just retreated to another courtyard and came to his son's side when a brilliant light burst out from behind him, followed by a storm and the shock wave spreading wildly.

Originally, if the shock wave spread in all directions, its power would be smaller, but the entire palace was surrounded by the formation.

Therefore, after encountering the formation, the shock wave will be intercepted back, and not a trace of it will be leaked out.

This is also the reason why the retired emperor asked his son, the Emperor of Great Zhou, to activate the formation of Prince Zining's Palace.

He wanted to conceal his tracks completely and destroy Prince Zining's Mansion and kill Ji Wushang without anyone knowing.

The violent wind and the powerful shock wave made even King Zining, a powerful warrior with the cultivation level of a king, unable to resist. His body was shaking constantly in the wind and waves. He could only grit his teeth and hold on. The spiritual energy in his body flowed wildly, and the speed of his martial arts reached its peak.

Emperor Wu is so terrifying!

The shock wave generated by the battle alone was too much for him to bear.

Of course, the main reason here is that he was standing too close!

At such a close distance, the fluctuations were almost the strongest. It was lucky that he didn't vomit blood.

Even a martial king like him had a hard time resisting, not to mention the other people in Prince Zining's Mansion.

Many people with lower cultivation levels were instantly turned into ashes by the shock wave, without even a trace of blood mist left.

As for the buildings, they were directly destroyed in the battle between the two emperor-level masters.

Ji Wushang looked forward from his father's side. The figures of the two Martial Emperors were so fast that they could no longer be seen.

But he could feel that his grandfather was now at a disadvantage.

We can't wait like this any longer. The emperor is too powerful. If we drag on like this, Prince Zining's Mansion will never be rescued.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made an important decision.

"Father, take me to my sister's villa immediately, quickly!"

"ah?"
