Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

At the same time, he was very happy to have a nephew like Ji Xian, but this kid was too irritating most of the time.

As an elder and sister, Su Luohua naturally cares about Ji Xian and Su Luoxue. She has been aware of their affairs for a long time but just didn't say it out loud.

After noticing that Ji Xian had made up her mind, he chose his sister's happiness and planned to go talk to his cousin, Ji Xian's father.

From this we can see that although Su Luohua is lively, active, enthusiastic and generous, she is actually very thoughtful and has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Tang Lin:

The Queen Mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a follower of the Lieque Commander Ling Qianfan, a non-staff member of the Wentian lineage, and Ji Xian's mother

Tang Lin was originally a child from an ordinary family. She was separated from her family because of the war caused by the rebellion of Daxuan. While wandering in the rivers and lakes, she was taken in by the Daxuan organization that overthrew the Great Zhou. Finally, she joined the Phoenix Guard, the secret guard of Daxuan. With her outstanding talent and ability, she was promoted to captain before the age of sixteen.

Tang Lin actually hated the Daxuan people because they had destroyed her once ordinary but happy life, causing her and countless other people to become homeless and their families to be broken up. However, considering that the Daxuan people had already unified the world, joining the Phoenix Guard to help the people was a way to minimize the number of pitiful people like herself.

Therefore, although Tang Lin hated Daxuan, he still accepted the position of captain of the Phoenix Guard.

Later, Ji Xingyu who came down the mountain met Tang Lin who had infiltrated the Phoenix Guard headquarters. The two had repeated confrontations and chases from Shendu to Jingzhou. Although they were enemies, they understood each other.

Later, during the Xuanmen Town Incident in Jingzhou, Phoenix Guard Captain Lei Qianzhao, in order to capture Ji Xingyu, directly arrested the entire population of Xuanmen Town and held them hostage to force Ji Xingyu to reveal himself. Tang Lin joined the Phoenix Guard for the sake of the people, so naturally, he would not allow the Phoenix Guard to attack them.

Tang Lin chose to resist, but the result of her resistance was that she was seriously injured by Lei Qianzhao, who poisoned her and locked her up, leaving her to die slowly.

When Ji Xingyu and Lei Qianzhao were fighting in Xuanmen Town, Tang Lin used all his strength and spiritual power to break free from the restraints, killed the Phoenix Guards who were guarding them and released the people. Then he dragged his wounded body to the Xuanmen Town Square, gambled all his spiritual power and swung a fatal blow at Lei Qianzhao, ending the battle.

Later, the dying Tang Lin was taken away by Ji Xingyu and revived in Tianji Pavilion.

After waking up, Tang Lin, out of gratitude and homelessness, chose to travel with Ji Xingyu to launch a war of revival together.

Later, Ji Xingyu found the Lieque Commander Ling Qianfan in Yanzhou. At Pang Yuanchu's recommendation, Tang Lin became Ling Qianfan's apprentice and learned the peerless magical skill Wanxiang Jue from her. He crossed the border into the Yangshen, becoming the third person in history to do so.

In the adventures and difficulties one after another, Tang Lin and Ji Xingyu depend on and trust each other. No matter where they go, they are always by each other's side, and their feelings continue to sublimate.

After the War of Renaissance, Tang Lin married Ji Xingyu and became the Queen of Da Zhou. She gave birth to Ji Xian two years after the War of Renaissance.

Ji Xian's name was given by Tang Lin. It came from Tang Lin's father, a scholar who had been separated from her for many years. He named her after the poems of King Xian of Zhou because he liked them.

Flowers are slender in the wind, and snow is delicate in the sun.

At that time, Tang Lin probably didn't even realize that this line of poetry corresponded exactly to Ji Xian and Su Luoxue, and the name of this poem was "Hand in Hand Song".

Tang Lin is calm, steady, strong-willed, and introverted, but he doesn't like to talk. However, he cares deeply about his companions, his family, and the world around him. He is a man of great righteousness.

As the queen mother, she performed her duties conscientiously. Although she did not get involved in politics, she also contributed her strength to the people of the world.

But as a mother, she actually didn't spend much time with Ji Xian. After all, the world was devastated after the War of Renaissance. In order to restore prosperity, Tang Lin and Ji Xingyu had been running around a lot over the years.

But despite this, Tang Lin still cares about her son and always asks if he has not eaten well, is tired, or is unhappy.

But every time Tang Lin returned to the palace from the martial arts world and saw Ji Xian, he either had a cynical and dissolute look on his face, or a hopeless and miserable look on his face, which made Tang Lin hold his forehead with his hands.

Later, Ji Xingyu abdicated and passed the throne to Ji Xian. Tang Lin then retired from the world with Ji Xingyu. Ji Xingyu was able to use the name Zhao Bai again and officially started his own life. Tang Lin naturally followed him and never left him.

Now that Ji Xian has abandoned the throne and fled, Ji Xingyu and Tang Lin have no choice but to return to the palace and are once again involved in a series of world events.

The Queen Mother of the Great Zhou, Tang Lin, went out again.

Zhao Bai:

The retired emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xingzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the initiator of the war of revival, the father of Ji Xian, the cousin of Su Luoxue and Su Luohua, the descendant of the poet and sword fairy Taibai, and the son of Princess Tianxue.

His original name was Ji Xingyu. He was the son of the Great Zhou Emperor Ji Ye and the Heavenly Blood Ji Ninino. His adoptive father was the then Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, Zhao Shuyang. His master was the world's number one thief, Banmian Linglong. Silver Dragon Shuai, Cheng Banshan, and Ling Qianfan also taught him martial arts, which eventually made him the peerless Yang God, one of the strongest fighting forces in the world today.

At that time, the Great Zhou was about to fall. In order to preserve the spark and keep the hope of revival, Tianxue Ji and Zhao Shuyang made a plan to restore the country. They split the Galaxy Sword and Jiutian Talisman left by Ji Taibai into two, and had Tiewu Commander Han Tieyi and Lieque Commander Ling Qianfan take the items separately to break out of Chang'an.

These things will eventually be collected by the Son of Heaven, Ji Xingyu.

Ji Xingyu also needed a new identity to navigate the martial arts world, so Tianxue Ji gave him a new name, Zhao Bai. The surname Zhao came from his adoptive father Zhao Shuyang, and the character Bai came from the poet and swordsman Ji Taibai, meaning the descendant of Ji Taibai.

Originally, Zhao Shuyang had intended to take Zhao Bai away from Chang'an, but the city was completely surrounded, preventing them from leaving. Desperate, Zhao Shuyang released countless phoenix birds, announcing to the world that he was inviting the world's greatest thief, Banmian Linglong, to his mansion for a chat.

Banmian Linglong finally arrived and met Zhao Shuyang without alerting anyone. After Zhao Shuyang entrusted everything to Banmian Linglong, he asked Banmian Linglong to take Zhao Bai away from Chang'an, while Zhao Shuyang himself stayed with the Prime Minister and committed suicide to create an illusion, so that everyone would think that the emperor was dead in exchange for Zhao Bai's safety.

Later, Zhao Bai followed Banmian Linglong to travel the world, practiced martial arts, and when he was seventeen years old, he went down the mountain to travel the world. According to the plan of Tianxue Ji and Zhao Shuyang, he began to recover the things left by the sword immortal.

He met Tang Lin in Yongzhou and Su Luohua in Jingzhou. Later, in his adventures along the way, he successively found the top combat forces of the Great Zhou, including Tiewu Shuai, Yinlong Shuai, Pang Yuanchu, Cheng Banshan, Pozhenzi and so on.

Afterwards, he also retrieved the things left by the Sword Immortal, the Galaxy Sword, the Nine Heavens Talisman, and the Galaxy Nine Heavens Art, and finally succeeded in practicing the peerless magic skills. Tianxue Ji and Zhao Shuyang's plan to reincarnate the Sword Immortal was successful.

Zhao Bai eliminated evil disasters, destroyed evil cults, blocked alien races, and eliminated rebels. He continued to leave his reputation along the way and also gathered all the combat forces of the Great Zhou. In the end, he launched a war of revival.

In the decisive battle of the Divine Capital, Daxuan was overthrown. Zhao Bai teamed up with Tang Lin to kill the rebel empress Zhao Tianyue of Daxuan and successfully revived Dazhou.

In the martial arts world, he is Zhao Bai.

In the court, he is Ji Xingyu.

Later, Ji Xingyu married Tang Lin and gave birth to Ji Xian two years later. However, as a father, he did not have much time to accompany him, because the world was devastated by war at that time, and he, the emperor of the Great Zhou, needed to spend a lot of time and effort and even run around.

However, Ji Xingyu was very strict with the crown prince Ji Xian, hoping that he would become an outstanding emperor. However, Ji Xingyu knew that he was used to being in the opposition and was not suitable for the throne, nor did he like the throne. Therefore, when Ji Xian was fourteen years old, he passed the throne to him and then retired from the world.

Then, Ji Xian's attitude of giving up and not striving for progress made Ji Xingyu speechless and embarrassed again and again, but with Su Luoxue around, Ji Xingyu felt relieved.

However, this time, Ji Xian gave him a big advantage and he escaped from Chang'an directly.

This forced Zhao Bai, who had already retired from the world, to use the name Ji Xingyu again, return to Chang'an and take charge of the situation.

4.23 The Emperor's ghost is chasing us

Yelu Pinglin's face couldn't be seen through the mask of a deity, but one could sense her indifference, or perhaps even coldness, in her eyes. It was clear that she no longer viewed Zhao Si and the others with the same aloofness as the once high-ranking King Xuanliang.

In order to overthrow the Great Zhou and unify the world, the former Daxuan rebels colluded with a large number of foreign tribes and underworld forces, including the Northern Desert Liaodan tribe.

At that time, the actual person in power in Liaodan was not the previous Liaodan King Yelu Yunhai, nor the current Liaodan King Yelu Yan. The actual person in power in the Liaodan tribe was Yelu Pinglin, the eldest princess of Liaodan.

In order to unify the Northern Desert and enter the Central Plains, Yelu Pinglin agreed to Daxuan, and eventually overthrew the Great Zhou together with Daxuan, successfully unified the Northern Desert, and entered the Central Plains.

The Liaodan tribes of that period lived in peace with Daxuan, but in most cases they were flattering. Even Yelu Pinglin was respectful to Daxuan Yangshen.

But now, this emotion can no longer be seen in Yelu Pinglin's eyes.

But the way Zhao Si looked at Yelu Pinglin was still the same as before, superior yet in awe of each other.

Zhao Si laughed twice, slowly took out a secret book from his sleeve, and looked at Yelu Pinglin on the altar.

Yelu Pinglin stared at the secret book in Zhao Si's hand: "Is this the method of blood sacrifice?"

"Yes, it seems that King Liaodan has passed the news to the Princess. I wonder if the Princess is interested?"

"Aren't you afraid that I might take the technique but not cooperate with you, Daxuan?"

"I'm not afraid, as long as I can't cause trouble for Da Zhou."

Zhao Si answered without hesitation. This was what he really thought. After all, their Daxuan had reached its current situation. Unless they were completely wiped out, the situation could not be worse than it is now.

“…”

Yelu Pinglin's eyes flickered between Zhao Si and the secret book in his hands. He remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought. Zhao Si knew she was thinking, so he didn't rush her, letting her think slowly.

After pondering for a long time, Yelu Pinglin suddenly said, "It's still a foolish dream to hope to compete with the current Great Zhou with only blood sacrifice. I wonder what other plans the King of Liang has?"

Hearing Yelu Pinglin ask this, Zhao Si smiled.

The fact that he was willing to ask about the next plan meant that Yelu Pinglin had accepted Daxuan's request for cooperation. Daxuan and the Liaodan tribes had united again to jointly deal with Dazhou.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the plan Zhao Si proposed is enough to convince Yelu Pinglin. Now what Zhao Si proposed can only be said to impress her, but not to convince her.

Zhao Si spread his hands, stepped forward, and laid it all out to Yelu Pinglin: "Your Highness, Princess, should be able to imagine that your Liaodan tribe isn't the only one in this predicament. Numerous people in the Western Frontier and the Eastern Sea are bound by the Great Zhou. Even the various vassal states are likely dissatisfied."

"Of course, these people are angry but dare not speak out. They dare not act rashly under the threat of the Great Zhou's military might. Even if my Daxuan and you Liaodan use blood sacrifice to strengthen our combat power, I am afraid it will not be enough to make them join us in overthrowing the Great Zhou."

"But what if we also share the blood sacrifice method with them?"

Yelu Pinglin said nothing and laughed grimly.

The blood sacrifice technique, a terrifying evil technique that had caused the blood disaster in the past, was not as powerful as the Xuanyin Jue and the Ghost Doctor Sutra, but the disaster it caused was even more devastating than those two techniques. The blood sacrifice technique, which had been rewritten by Baili Qiankun, was a disaster that could not be matched by ten copies of the Xuanyin Jue and ten copies of the Ghost Doctor Sutra combined.

Once the four foreign lands and the various princes obtain the method of blood sacrifice, the disaster caused will probably not be comparable to the blood sacrifice disaster of the past. Even the Eight Kingdoms Rebellion would probably not have caused so many deaths.

"King Liang, you are so cruel."

"Haha, but isn't this a good idea?"

Yelu Pinglin's tone was mostly sarcastic, but Zhao Si still managed to laugh.

Once this plan is officially implemented, there will probably be no peace in the world.

But Yelu Pinglin had to admit that Zhao Si's plan convinced her.

Just when Yelu Pinglin was about to agree, the door of the ancient building was suddenly pushed open, and a servant in sacrificial robes rushed in.

He trotted to the altar, saluted Yelu Pinglin, and said, "Princess, someone has been spotted entering the Wild Beast Forest."

"Oh?"

Yelu Pinglin seemed a little surprised.

The Wild Beast Forest is a forbidden area of ​​Liaodan, and strange beasts roam rampant in the forest. Logically speaking, no one from the Northern Desert would come in, unless... they are from the Central Plains.

Yelu Pinglin asked, "How many people are there?"

"There was only one small boat, and it looked like there were only three people on it."

"Can you tell who it is?"

"They look like they're from the Central Plains, and two of them seem to be seriously injured."

Yelu Pinglin didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking again.

It was audacious for a man to enter the Liaodan forbidden area, the Wild Beast Forest, with two sick people in tow. Yelu Pinglin had initially suspected they were top-tier Yang Gods sent by the Great Zhou to hunt down Zhao Si and the others, but now it seemed they were simply travelers from the Central Plains who had strayed there by mistake.

So, Yelu Pinglin didn't care much and said, "Let them go. They will probably be eaten by strange beasts soon."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Then, the sacrificial attendant withdrew, and Yelu Pinglin and Zhao Si continued their communication.

.......

At the same time, Ji Xian and others who had already entered the Wild Beast Forest Valley...

The Wild Beast Forest is located in a valley. The sky is sunny and cloudless, but there is no sunlight at all in the valley. After entering the valley, you will feel that the surroundings are as cold as winter, with dead trees and weeds all around, which is frightening.

When the strong wind blew and echoed in the valley, it was as if the valley was crying, and it became more and more terrifying.

Ji Xian sat in the boat awning, looking at the scene outside: "Is this place haunted?"

Ji Wan'er was sitting at the stern, still reading a book, but she was replying to Ji Xian: "There are no ghosts in this world."

"Haha, that's hard to say."

Ji Xian smiled, said nothing more, and looked at Shenghui Ji in her hand.

It is really hard to say that there are no ghosts in this world. After all, there is a female ghost named Sword Spirit hidden in his pair of swords!

Speaking of which, compared to ghosts, people are more important to worry about.

Ji Xian had excellent perception. Even though he was seriously injured and his spiritual power was scarce, he could still sense the movements around him. As soon as the ship entered the Wild Beast Forest, he sensed that someone was monitoring the ship, but they left immediately.

There is someone in this wild beast forest. Who is he? Is he from the Liaodan tribe?

Ji Xian didn’t know and had no intention of saying it out loud. After all, with an outsider like Ji Wan’er around, she should keep a low profile.

In the current situation, I can only take it one step at a time. I just hope to quickly pass through this wild beast forest and reach the post station. Then I can send a message to Luoxue and ask her to come to me immediately.

4.24 The Emperor's enemies began to curse

The boat sailed along the river towards the interior of the Wild Beast Forest Valley. Ji Wan'er originally sat at the stern, but after entering the Wild Beast Forest, she moved to the bow. She was still reading a book, very seriously and attentively, as if no place could stop her from reading.

Ji Xian could sense the constant sounds of strange beasts and fluctuations of spiritual power around her. There were many of them and the frequency was loud. Various kinds of strange beasts filled the area, making people feel creepy.

To be honest, if Ji Wan'er hadn't reached the Yang God level, Ji Xian would never have chosen to enter the Wild Beast Forest in her current severely injured state.

But the most terrifying thing is not these strange beasts, but humans.

For some reason, Ji Xian always had a feeling that there were not only strange beasts in this wild beast forest, but perhaps there were also people hiding there. The deeper they got, the more dangerous it would be.

"I wonder if Senior Wan'er can withstand any danger if it really happens?"

Ji Xian thought to herself that Ji Wan'er was carrying the Nine Heavens Ink Core, and coupled with her Yang God cultivation, even if her strength was not as strong as the Seven Marshals of the Great Zhou, it would probably not be much weaker than her own.
