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

As expected, the guards on the ship looked at Ji Xian with doubtful eyes, and then looked at Jin Ren.

"Yes, he is my family's guard. Brother, is there anyone from the Jin family still alive?"

Jin Ren got up from the ground and nodded, then his tone gradually became a little worried and urgent.

2.8 His Majesty the Emperor is a rare person

"Ah Hui!"

In guest room number seven, a doctor was treating the wounds of a wounded person, a girl about seventeen years old.

However, after seeing the girl, Jin Ren rushed in immediately and ran to the girl to check on her condition. Ji Xian also stood at the door to check the situation.

The girl's chest was bleeding heavily, and the wound was probably quite large. Her breathing was also unstable. However, the doctor had bandaged the wound on her chest, and the bleeding should have stopped.

Ji Xian also keenly sensed that although the girl's breath was unstable, her spiritual power was surprisingly strong and her recovery ability was also good. Although extremely unstable and still very weak, her operating frequency was generally upward.

This means that her body is recovering and she will not die as long as she can maintain the status quo.

Ji Xian asked the guard on the boat beside her: "Is this the only survivor of the Jin family?"

"Yes, we found it." The guard simply explained the situation to Ji Xian: "It was the second master of the Jin family who fell from the second deck. After our people verified their identities, they went to the second floor to look for the Jin family members."

"But when our workers found the second floor, they discovered that the corridor was littered with corpses. So we quickly checked the scene and only found this one person alive."

"Alas, this little girl is really lucky. Fortunately, we found her in time and treated her injuries in time, otherwise she would have died from excessive blood loss."

After listening to this, Ji Xian didn't say much, but became a little more serious.

He walked up to Jin Ren and asked him, "Who is this girl?"

"Her name is Jin Hui, and she's my cousin."

"Is her cultivation level very high?"

"Does the hero know?"

Jin Ren turned to look at Ji Xian in surprise.

"My perception is better."

Ji Xian said calmly.

"Ahui is the most talented cultivator in our Jin family. Everyone in the family is very optimistic about her."

"That's right."

Ji Xian nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Ji Xian was simply curious about this girl's cultivation. Although it was weak, it was at least at the War God Realm level. She was much stronger than her fat cousin, who was only at the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm. The gap was quite large. However, after hearing Jin Ren's words, Ji Xian no longer found it strange.

After all, even among the children of the same clan, there are many who have very different levels of cultivation.

The same was true of the Ji clan. The two founders of the Great Zhou were the founding emperor Ji Yunhua and the founding sword immortal Ji Taibai. These two were brothers, but the former was not good at cultivation and could only rule the country through government, while the latter's cultivation was unrivaled.

If compared with the Ji brothers, the difference in cultivation between this little sister and this fat man is nothing.

Later, the people on the ship went to Jin Ren to find out more about the situation, and Jin Ren repeated what he had said to Ji Xian to the crew. After hearing it, the crew was also shocked and thought it was bad.

He even dared to kill court officials and the secret guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The killer who targeted the Jin family must be from a powerful background and is not something that a passenger ship like theirs can deal with.

Upon learning of this, the captain acted decisively and immediately ordered: "Send a letter to Qianqiu County immediately and ask them to send troops for support."

"Yes, but Captain, is this killer really still on board?"

"I won't risk my life to test this possibility. Send a letter for help immediately!"

"Yes Yes!"

The upper-class cabins on the second floor had also been cleaned out, and all the guests in other rooms had been moved. Now only the Jin family was left on the second floor; everyone else had fled.

This is also what the people on the ship mean. They can ask the crew to provide certain protection, but other guests must leave quickly to avoid causing casualties among the people.

But when the captain suggested that the crew guard the entrance to the aisle, Ji Xian refused.

"Let's have fewer people die. I'm enough."

"Are you alone?" Hearing Ji Xian say this, the captain who had come to look for her was surprised. After looking her up and down, he bowed and asked Ji Xian, "May I know this young man's name?"

"Um, my name is..." Ji Xian thought for a moment, then replied: "My name is Su Xian."

Su Xian, a name I’ve never heard of.

But the captain was also a man of the world when he was young, and he had a history of wandering around the world. So after taking a look at Ji Xian, he made a rough judgment.

This young man exudes masculinity and speaks with a firm and confident tone that doesn't sound forced.

This person was a Jin family guard, but the captain could not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from him. The captain, who had experience in the martial arts world, knew that this was because the other party was restraining his spiritual power.

Being able to gather spiritual energy without being noticed is something that only those at the War God level or above can do.

Another important point was that he could feel the two swords at his waist. The spiritual power emanating from them was definitely not ordinary.

Combining these points, the captain came to a conclusion. This young man must be quite prominent, at least not among his crew.

Therefore, in the end, the captain accepted Ji Xian's advice and did not let the crew provide protection.

Therefore, only seven rooms on the second floor are occupied by people, namely Ji Xian, Jin Ren and Jin Hui.

Soon, it was night.

The entire second floor of the cabin was extremely quiet. There was no sound coming from outside. In room seven, one could only hear the sound of water and wind outside.

Jin Hui was still lying unconscious on the bed, while Jin Ren was sitting trembling in the corner beside the bed, his whole body shaking, and his eyes looking around from time to time, as if he was on guard against enemies that might attack at any time.

Ji Xian looked relaxed sitting on a chair on the other side. She poured herself some tea and even yawned.

"Su, Master Su, do you think the killers will come again?" Jin Ren was extremely frightened.

"They will probably come." Ji Xian looked calm. She took a sip of tea before answering Jin Ren's question: "Based on what you said about the killers' movements, they probably won't stop until they kill all of you. And you're still alive, how could they let you go?"

"Then... can you protect me?"

"Maybe."

“Should…should?”

"I can't guarantee you anything because I'm not 100% sure."

"Then...how sure are you?"

"Nine-nine percent."

"..."

For a moment, Jin Ren didn't know what to say.

Ji Xian said this with a smile, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Ji Xian is an unparalleled genius and a top master among the Yangshen. Theoretically, if he wants to protect Jin Ren and Jin Hui, there are really few people in the world who can kill them.

But Ji Xian was a little worried.

There are not many people like him in the world, but what if the one who comes to kill Jin Ren happens to be one of them?

Ji Xian had such concerns mainly because so many assassinations happened on the ship, but he didn't perceive it at all, which was incredible to Ji Xian.

Having such means is probably not something that ordinary masters can do.

The biggest possibility is that the other party is also a Yang God.

You must know that although the Great Zhou has the most masters and the most Yang Gods in the world, it would be a big mistake to underestimate the world and the martial arts world.

Ji Xian felt that he was a frog in a well, and he knew very little about the world. So although he looked relaxed, he didn't dare to be careless.

Ji Xian's current state is something that has never been seen before.

If the ministers in the court saw this, they would probably be moved to tears. His Majesty actually has such a serious side.

But unfortunately, they don't know...

2.9 His Majesty the Emperor's Magnificent Solution to the Killer

Even if there are thousands of stars, they cannot compete with the sun.

This is what Jiang Shanggong of Tianji Pavilion said when he determined the realm of cultivation. It represents that masters in the Yangshen realm have long transcended other realms, like the gap between the sun and ordinary stars.

But Yang Shen also has differences in strength, and the gap is the largest among other realms.

This is also because Jiang Shanggong has not yet glimpsed the stars that are brighter than the sun, so all realms after breaking through the Chen realm are planned to be included in the Yangshen realm, which has caused a large gap in strength between the Yangshen.

When asked about the most powerful Yang God of all time, the first person that comes to mind is Taibai, the founding swordsman of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With his single-handed sword, he conquered the martial arts world, swept across the vast wilderness, and commanded unrivaled power, establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It’s just that this person disappeared two hundred years ago, and the most common explanation is that he is dead.

There are too many candidates for the strongest Yang God after Ji Taibai, and everyone has their own choice in their hearts.

Some say it's Jiang Shang Gong, the 3,000-year-old master of the Tianji Pavilion. Others say it's Tianhu Shuai, the former prime minister of the Great Shu Dynasty who first completed the entire Wen Tian Lu. Others say it's Lie Que Shuai, the peerless genius who created the Wan Xiang Jue and crossed the border into the Yang Shen realm. Still others say it's Ji Xian's father, Emperor Ji Xingyu, the new swordsman who launched the war of restoration and restored the Great Zhou.

But if we talk about the most powerful candidate to be the number one person in the world today, it is naturally General Silver Dragon, the leader of the Seven Generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Luoxue's father.

Ji Xian was thinking about these masters at this moment. He was wondering which of them had the means to escape his perception and kill so many people on this ship without him noticing.

You know, even if you are a Yangshen master, you can't escape Ji Xian's perception without special means.

When Ji Xian mobilized his spiritual power, even his heartbeat, breathing, breath, and spiritual power operation could not escape his perception, not even the Yang God could do it.

But the killer on this ship did it.

Moreover, in the cargo hold, Ji Xian saw a woman with her own eyes. She did not emit any spiritual power or aura. If Ji Xian had not seen her with her own eyes, she would not have been able to detect her existence at all.

There are only a few people in this world who can do this.

The only ones who can do it from the Great Zhou side are probably General Tianhu, General Lieque, his master Banmian Linglong and his parents, and Luoxue, but these people can be ruled out as suspects.

In the martial arts world, I'm afraid only Jiang Shanggong of Tianji Pavilion and the owner of Shengui Island can do this.

However, these two individuals could be ruled out as suspects, as Jiang Shanggong would rarely leave the Tianji Pavilion. As for the Master of the Ghost Island, hehe, considering his seniority, he was the master of Qin Yuanfang, the White Horse Commander, so to some extent, he was considered half one of their own.

Then the only ones who can be counted are the remnants of the Daxuan Party.

Baili Qiankun, one of the remnants of the Daxuan faction, should be able to do the same. Ji Xian had witnessed Baili Qiankun's strange and unpredictable methods in the Yanhuang Mountain area and felt that he should be able to do the same. However, all the dead people Ji Xian saw today were killed by sharp weapons. This was not the killing method of Baili Qiankun, a magic cultivator.

Although he had never stepped out of the palace and was always lazy and sloppy on weekdays, he yearned for the outside world. Therefore, he also inquired about many stories in the martial arts world and knew many martial arts figures.

Therefore, Ji Xian knew that there were other people in the Daxuan rebel party who could do it.

"No way......"

When Ji Xian guessed this, she suddenly felt that it was very likely, but she just found it incredible.

How long has it been since I escaped from Chang'an? Why do I keep running into trouble everywhere I go?

Although Ji Xian feels happy when something happens, is it necessary to make such a big deal every time?

But at this moment, Ji Xian heard footsteps outside.

Ji Xian had already made it known that no one was allowed to enter the second floor unless necessary.

Their footsteps were actually very light, like feathers falling to the ground. If it weren't for Ji Xian's level of perception, others would not have been able to detect their presence.

"Ok?"

Ji Xian heard the sound and looked up at the door.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

The knock on the door scared Jin Ren so much that he screamed. If you didn't know, you would think it was a ghost knocking on his door.

But this was no surprise. After all, Jin Ren's perception was no different from that of an ordinary person. He couldn't hear anything outside, so naturally he didn't notice the footsteps. To him, the knock on the door was completely sudden, like a ghost.

"Calm down, it's okay." Ji Xian gave him a look of contempt, then looked towards the door and said, "Who's outside?"

Ji Xian's tone sounded calm, but in fact his hand had already reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist.

And a response came from the other side of the door: "Oh, we are here to deliver food, please open the door."

"The door is unlocked. Come in."

Ji Xian has already started drawing her sword.

"..."

It was quiet on the other side of the door.
