However, the basic formation of Prince Zining's Mansion, although interconnected and impossible for ordinary people to unravel, and dare not touch it casually, is extremely simple for Lu Xiaoran.

He can rebuild the formation below and above the basic formation without changing the original formation at all.

The difficulty of this is equivalent to asking a famous doctor to build a pacemaker in front and behind the human heart, without touching the heart at all and only performing the operation on the chest.

Not to mention the Great Zhou, apart from Lu Xiaoran, no one else can achieve this.

As for other illusion arrays, Lu Xiaoran simply removed them without any hesitation.

Those are independent formations and will not affect the basic formation of the palace.

Lu Xiaoran placed a time and space deceleration formation under the basic formation. If it is activated, the speed of anyone in the yard will be reduced to a freezing point and they will not be able to escape easily.

He placed an Eight Trigrams Heaven-Sealing Formation on top of the basic formation, which served as a control formation.

Once the two formations were set up, even if King Zining came and wanted to attack Lu Xiaoran, Lu Xiaoran could easily freeze him in place.

Even if a strong man above the king level comes, Lu Xiaoran is not afraid.

This was the case when he hadn't carved the formation to perfection.

Because setting up an imperial-level formation would cause the weather to change drastically and cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth, Lu Xiaoran only used about 30% of his strength this time.

However, perhaps it was because his skills had improved, but even though it was only 30%, a few muffled thunder sounds could be heard from the clear sky.

On top of these two formations, Lu Xiaoran established some heavenly-grade formations.

For example, attack formations, illusion formations and so on.

For these formations, Lu Xiaoran only used less than one-tenth of his carving skills, which is about 5%, or one-twentieth.

Lu Xiaoran certainly cannot easily expose his imperial formation, which can only be used to prevent conflicts with the royal palace.

Therefore, he had to create some heavenly formations to confuse other people.

After all, he came from the Demonic Sect, a small sect. If its formation capabilities were too outstanding, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

After setting these up, Lu Xiaoran began to proceed to the next task.

One is to find his four disciples, and the other is to look for information about the Son of Destiny who is against Ji Wuxia.

Lu Xiaoran planned to look for his fourth disciple first. After all, even if he found the son of luck, he couldn't just act arbitrarily and kill someone in public in a place like the Imperial City where there were so many masters and strict rules.

So, Lu Xiaoran left the palace with his two disciples.

Ji Wuxia also came to her father's courtyard.

As King Zining of the Great Zhou, a royal aristocrat, and a master of the king realm, King Zining's courtyard is not only more magnificent than those of his other children, but also has an extremely powerful spirit gathering formation.

This courtyard is more full of spiritual energy than other courtyards.

On the grass leaves in the corner of the wall, there are water droplets condensed from spiritual energy, sparkling in the sun.

In the Great Zhou Imperial City, there are restrictions on who can set up a spirit gathering array.

Princes and nobles can set up stronger spirit gathering arrays, while the specifications of the spirit gathering arrays of lower-end cultivators will be continuously lowered.

On the one hand, this is to reflect the authority of the royal family and princes and nobles, and on the other hand, it is also to strengthen the power of the royal family and better dominate ordinary monks.

However, even so, the Imperial City of the Great Zhou occupies the head of the spiritual vein of the Great Zhou, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and is very suitable for cultivation. Practitioners from outside will still gather here in an endless stream.

Just like Xuanwu Zhenzong, top cities like the Great Zhou Imperial City also have a siphon effect, and it is even more powerful.

Because the more monks there are, the easier it is to change the direction of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and gather towards this place.

"Your son, Ji Wuxia, comes to pay respect to your father."

Ji Wuxia knelt in front of his father's study. After a moment, a calm voice came from the study.

"You still remember to come back."

Hearing this voice, Ji Wuxia lowered his head in shame.

"I am an unfilial son. I disobeyed my father's order and did not come back with my brother. I beg your forgiveness."

"You are staying in the Heavenly Demon Sect with your own abilities, there is no need to apologize. The rules of the Zining Palace have always been to pursue becoming stronger. As long as you don't do anything wrong outside and waste time, there is nothing wrong."

Ji Wuxia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Father. By the way, I want to ask, where is Nanny Li? Why didn't I see her?"

"Madame Li's arm was broken. I have sent her to the Imperial Physician's Hall in the palace for repair. It will probably take some time before she can come out."

Although Nanny Li is just a servant, she is also a master in the realm of creation. Even in the prince's palace, she is a rare fighting force. King Zining naturally doesn't want to let her lose.

When Ji Wuxia heard that Nanny Li was fine, the guilt in her heart was alleviated a lot.

"In that case, I, your son, would like to thank you, Father, on behalf of Nanny Li."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go down."

"Yes. I will take my leave."

After Ji Wuxia left, King Zining, who was dressed in a dragon robe, stopped writing in the study.

On the desk in front of him was a name he had just written - Lin Wan'er.

That was the name of Ji Wuxia's mother.

The brushwork is firm yet gentle, sharp yet warm.

"Zhuifeng, what did you see?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the space behind King Zining twisted and a figure in black slowly emerged.

He bowed his head and said:

"I have noticed that the young lady's cultivation has already reached the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm. As for the skills she is practicing, they also seem to be extraordinary."

"Did she come back alone this time?"

"No, the princess brought her master and her fellow apprentices, a total of three people. These three people just re-arranged the formation in the princess's villa. Now, for some unknown reason, they left the palace again."

"Pass my order and have Wuxin send some resources to Wuxia, and by the way, see what methods her master has."

"yes."

The air twisted and Zhuifeng quickly disappeared from the spot.

King Zining stared at the name in front of him, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"Wan'er, your daughter has found a master this time who is very extraordinary. Even Zhui Feng, who is at the first level of Kanli Realm, can't detect her hidden aura. Even I can only see it vaguely."

"It seems that this time, she has a chance to avenge her previous shame."

As a powerful king, King Zining can naturally see much more than his subordinate Zhuifeng.

But even so, he couldn't see Ji Wuxia's true cultivation level. He could only see that Ji Wuxia had hidden a part of his cultivation level.

This caused a huge wave of turmoil in King Zining's heart.

You know, it has only been a few months since Ji Wuxia left the palace, but the speed at which she has improved is simply unimaginable.

However, he soon frowned again.

"Although Wuxia has made rapid progress, that kid's progress is even more outrageous!"
