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

But now, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, Ji Xian, actually came up and beat him up, and the purpose of beating him up was to ask for help. What the hell is this logic?

Gongshu Zhi tried hard not to curse, controlling his emotions as best he could. After getting up from the ground, he clutched his chest and asked, "I wonder what your majesty wants to see me about?"

Gongshu Zhi didn't know whether he was holding his chest because of the injury from Ji Xian's beating or because Ji Xian was making him feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Ji Xian's face was even thicker than he had imagined. She could even smile and say, "I came to see you for two reasons. The first is to ask you to lend me a treasure that can conceal the secrets of heaven."

"A treasure that conceals the secrets of heaven?"

Gongshu Zhi couldn't help but repeat himself, then asked in confusion, "Why does Your Majesty want this?"

"To save the world."

"Ah, what?"

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just lend it to me!"

Ji Xian couldn't continue his story. He couldn't tell Gongshu Zhi that he, the emperor, was being hunted by the Zhou court and needed a Jianghu Yangshen to refine a magic weapon to help him avoid the divination and spying, right?

Gongshu Zhi did not immediately agree to Ji Xian's request, but instead asked, "Then...what about the second one?"

"The second one, hehe..."

Ji Xian smiled bitterly twice, stretched out his hands to his waist and pulled out the sword, and then Gongshu Zhi saw the broken Tianxueji and the Death Sword.

He couldn't help but gasp: "This... How is this possible? These two magical weapons are actually broken!"

Ji Xian smiled bitterly and said, "The second thing I want to ask is for you to repair these two swords."

Although Kong Mingliang, Pang Yuanchu, Lie Que Shuai, Su Luoxue, and Ji Xian's mother, Tang Lin, were all as powerful as Gong Shu Zhi in terms of weapon cultivation attainments, Ji Xian was going to find Gong Shu Zhi anyway, so she might as well ask him all at once.

"......"

After a few seconds of silence, Gongshu Zhi replied to Ji Xian: "I refuse."

"what?"

This time, it was Ji Xian's turn to think he had misheard. After a moment of shock, he pointed at Gongshu Zhi and said, "You...what did you just say?"

"I reject."

Ji Xian instantly teleported in front of Gongshu Zhi, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up: "You are quite bold, kid. Not only did you dare to interrupt my pretense, but you also dared to refuse my request!"

"I refuse!" Gongshu Zhi was very firm, and he didn't give in at all because of Ji Xian's powerful strength: "How can you ask for help like this? Not even if you are the emperor!"

"Believe it or not, I will kill you."

"I don't believe it. This is not the law of your Great Zhou."

"you......"

Ji Xian had no way to refute because Gongshu Zhi was right.

Since its founding seven hundred years ago, the Great Zhou has upheld the principle of loving its people like its own children. It never slaughters innocent people, nor spares the evil forces of the underworld. It is considered one of the most righteous dynasties in history.

Although Gongshu Zhi did not serve the Great Zhou, he never violated any of the laws of the Great Zhou. He was also good friends with the Sky Fox Commander Kong Mingliang and even the poet and swordsman Taibai. To some extent, they were friends.

Under such circumstances, under the constraints of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and given Gongshu Zhi's own identity as a Yang God, it would be absolutely impossible for a dynasty like the Great Zhou Dynasty to kill him.

At present, Ji Xian is at best a cynical and slacking emperor, and no matter how harshly he is described, he is at best a piece of rotten mud. But if he really kills Gongshu Zhi like this, then he will truly become a villain.

Ji Xian's face turned ugly, and he gnashed his teeth like a wild beast. But no matter how angry he was, he finally let Gongshu Zhi go.

Gongshu Zhi was quite pleased with himself, feeling that he had finally regained some dignity. Ji Xian knelt down before him and kowtowed to him, "Then I will kneel down and beg you, Master Gongshu Valley, to agree to my request!"

Gongshu Zhi: “…”

Gongshu Zhi thought he had regained some face, but he didn't expect that Ji Xian had no face at all. As the emperor of the Great Zhou, he knelt down without any hesitation.

When Kong Mingliang was still the Prime Minister of Shu, he once cursed the enemy on the battlefield at the end of the Shu Dynasty. That curse has been passed down to this day, and now Gongshu Zhi especially wants to use it to describe Ji Xian.

I have never seen such a shameless person!

2.56 His Majesty the Emperor starts to show off

To be honest, Ji Xian didn't want to fight either. He knew that he came to ask for help, and it was indeed a bit outrageous to beat someone up before asking for help.

But the problem is that Ji Xian has no choice, because Luoxue may come looking for her at any time.

Going up and announcing one's identity to ask for help would be too conspicuous and slow. That's why Ji Xian disguised herself and drove Gongshu Zhi out of the city, so they could discuss these matters in detail outside the city.

Although doing all this might not necessarily have any effect, it was better than revealing one's identity and asking for help. Otherwise, if Luoxue came, Ji Xian felt that she would not be able to escape no matter what she said.

Although Gongshu Zhi's refusal was beyond Ji Xian's expectations, it was actually reasonable.

After all, I just beat him up...

But Ji Xian is a person who is very good at making choices. He can give up many things for his own goals, especially face and dignity, which he thinks are unimportant.

So, Ji Xian knelt down before Gongshu Zhi...

Seeing Ji Xian kneeling, Gongshu Zhi was so frightened that he almost knelt down in front of him. He hurriedly went up to pull Ji Xian: "Hey, your majesty, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up! You can't kneel!"

If the Yang Gods of the Great Zhou knew that the Emperor knelt down to Gongshu Zhi, they would beat him until he could not take care of himself.

Ji Xian was as stubborn as a cow at this moment: "If the Valley Master doesn't agree to my request, I won't get up!"

"..."

Gongshu Zhi was speechless. This was really a rogue!

The emperor of this term was such a shameless person. Gongshu Zhi's three views had been completely refreshed.

Gongshu Zhi was extremely hesitant and wanted to agree to Ji Xian's request. After all, he couldn't bear the emperor kneeling to him. So he asked, "Your Majesty, please stand up first and tell us what you want the treasure that conceals the secrets of heaven to do, and how the Heavenly Blood Princess and the Undead Sword were damaged."

When Ji Xian heard Gongshu Zhi say this, she knew he was beginning to hesitate, so she immediately stood up and struck while the iron was hot: "Valley Master, please don't ask me what I need the treasure for. As for how the Heavenly Blood Princess and the Dead Sword were damaged, please forgive me and don't ask too much."

"But Your Majesty, you didn't tell me anything and just let me..."

"I can give you a chance."

"Ah, what chance?"

"An opportunity to create a truly peerless divine weapon."

Ji Xian used her ultimate move and threw out a fatal temptation.

As expected, Gongshu Zhi immediately revealed an expression of immense shock, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty...what did your Majesty say?"

"You have very good ears, a true peerless divine weapon. I can give you this opportunity."

Ji Xian was smiling, and her smile was very confident.

Kong Mingliang was the Grand Tutor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He had taught many of the younger generations who had been staying in Chang'an, the most important of whom were Ji Xian and Su Luoxue. Although Kong Mingliang did not teach these two martial arts, he did teach them many things about government affairs, taught them the principles of life, and told them many things from ancient times to the present.

Gongshu Zhi was an old friend of Kong Mingliang. Kong Mingliang mentioned him in his spare time, and Ji Xian still remembered him.

Gongshu Zhi was the best weapon maker in the world a thousand years ago. It wasn't because he was a good fighter, but because his skill in forging magical weapons was unparalleled in the world. No weapon in the world could surpass his works.

His Divine Weapon Valley became famous throughout the world because of this, and Gongshu Zhi was naturally proud of it.

But later, his pride was broken by later generations.

First up is Kong Mingliang, who was invited by Emperor Liu Xuan to come out of retirement to assist the Shu Dynasty during a period of fierce competition. Not only did he devise countless strategies to help the desperate Shu Dynasty maintain its independence, but he also forged and modified numerous magical weapons, each of which became world-renowned.

His own Fire Sparrow Fan, Guan Yunsheng's Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and Zhao Yunlong's Dragon Gallbladder Silver Spear were almost all made by him.

Gongshu Zhi once wanted to compete with Kong Mingliang in weapon forging, and Kong Mingliang accepted the challenge. However, the final result was predictable: Gongshu Zhi was inferior to Kong Mingliang.

Later, during the Eight Kingdoms Rebellion, the poet and swordsman fairy Taibai was born. After sweeping away the eight kingdoms and founding the Great Zhou, she began to travel the world and eventually forged the two most powerful magic weapons in the world, the Galaxy Sword and the Nine Heavens Talisman.

These two magical weapons are still considered to be the best magic weapons in the world!

Gongshu Zhi was actually very unwilling to be surpassed by the sword cultivator Ji Taibai. However, after seeing the Galaxy Sword with his own eyes at the Jianghu Heroes Conference, Gongshu Zhi had to admit that it was second only to the best sword in the world.

Later, another person surpassed him.

That was Lie Que Shuai of the Great Zhou. Her self-created Myriad Aspects Art encompassed everything, encompassing all the finest martial arts in the martial arts world, naturally including weapon cultivation. The Divine Sword she crafted could transform into any form, a magical weapon that surpassed even the ones forged by Gongshu Zhi.

It was at the Jianghu Heroes Gathering eighteen years ago that Gongshu Zhi learned that there was another person whose weapon cultivation attainments surpassed his own. That person was Pang Yuanchu, the Grand Military Advisor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Luoxue's master, and the true greatest weapon cultivator in the world.

Eighteen years ago, at the gathering of heroes in martial arts world, Gongshu Zhi fought against Pang Yuanchu. After seeing his magic weapon, Gongshu Zhi felt inferior to him.

But Gongshu Zhi was not discouraged. He worked hard day after day, constantly improving his weapon-making skills. He only wanted to create a magical weapon that surpassed all of them and could not lose to the Galaxy Sword. A truly peerless magical weapon!

Although they were strong rivals, Gongshu Zhi had a good relationship with them. Therefore, Kong Mingliang knew his target and kept smiling and saying that he was always waiting.

Ji Xian knew this, so she gave Gongshu Zhi this opportunity.

But for Gongshu Zhi, the temptation was too great and too unbelievable.

He looked at Ji Xian in shock, and said blankly, "Your Majesty... What do you mean? How can you give me this opportunity to forge a peerless divine weapon?"

"Haha." Ji Xian smiled, crossed her arms, and pretended to be mysterious and elusive. She said in a very pretentious tone: "The reason why the Galaxy Sword is called the best weapon in the world is actually very simple. It is expensive and luxurious. I am right, am I not?"

Gongshu Zhi nodded: "To some extent, that's true."

Indeed, the forging process of the Galaxy Sword is very simple. It is to combine the extremely rare mithril, spirit crystals, and parts of spirit trees together to forge an incredibly luxurious magic weapon, which is the Galaxy Sword.

The mithril that other divine weapons only dared to use as scraps, Ji Taibai used it without any regrets. If the materials of the Galaxy Sword were dismantled, perhaps there would be enough to forge several or even dozens of divine weapons.

But let's be honest, no matter how rare and luxurious the materials, it can't be completed without sufficient skills and means. Although Ji Taibai is a sword cultivator, he is indeed talented in refining weapons. Even self-taught, he is capable of forging the Galaxy Sword.

Following the principle of pretending to be cool for a while, pretending to be cool all the time, Ji Xian waved his handsome hand and shouted to Gongshu Zhi with great pride: "If I can also give you enough natural materials and treasures to forge weapons, then you will have the opportunity to forge a peerless magic weapon that is no less powerful than the Galaxy Sword!"

Gongshu Zhi was still quite shocked and very skeptical: "Your Majesty...are you serious? Are you kidding me?"

Thinking of Ji Xian's shameless behavior before, Gongshu Zhi felt a little worried.

"Of course it's true. All you have to do is give me the magic weapon. And by the way, you have to agree to my two previous requests."

"Okay!" Gongshu Zhi responded, "If your Majesty is right, I, Gongshu Zhi, am willing to serve you at my utmost."

Gongshu Zhi had spent his entire life striving for weapon forging. Now that he had the opportunity to forge a truly peerless divine weapon, how could he miss it?

Although there was still a risk that the Great Zhou Emperor could trick him, Ji Xian probably wouldn't dare kill him, so Gongshu Zhi could take a gamble. Even if he was ultimately tricked by Ji Xian, it wouldn't be a big loss for Gongshu Zhi; he would just be fooled by Ji Xian.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gongshu Zhi agreed and seemed very excited.

When Ji Xian saw Gongshu Zhi agreed, she had an unfathomable smile on her face, but she felt relieved in her heart.

Ji Xian is very smart after all, and knows how to negotiate to get people to agree.

------

Jingnan City was in chaos at this time.

The sudden appearance of the Yangshen master had the Master of the Divine Weapon Valley being knocked out of the city without any chance of fighting back. The disciples of the Divine Weapon Valley sent people out of the city to search for him, but they could not find the whereabouts of the Master, Gongshu Zhi.

With such a huge mess happening, it is naturally difficult for the Divine Weapon Mirror to continue.

Everyone who learned about this was shocked. They never thought that at such a grand event in the martial arts world attended by all major sects, the Divine Weapon Mirror, someone would actually dare to disrupt the event, and the person who came to disrupt the event was a Yang God.

But even the Yang God would not dare to act so recklessly.

"By the way, do you know which Yang God made this move? He is so powerful."

"I heard it looked like a butterfly shadow."

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard from the Lord of Gongshu Valley that the one who attacked was someone from the Great Zhou."

"Ah, Da Zhou, how is this possible?"

"I also think it's impossible. Why would Da Zhou come to trouble Shenbing Valley for no reason? Shenbing Valley is not a remnant of Da Xuan."

The scene was in chaos, and all the major sects and local people were discussing this matter at the moment.

At this time, a girl with long hair and white clothes walked towards the noisy and chaotic crowd and asked people around her about something.

"Hello, what's going on here?"

"Oh, what a beautiful girl." Seeing the other person's beautiful face, the other person was amazed at first, and even almost lost his mind because of it, but he quickly came back to his senses and said enthusiastically: "Miss, you don't know, something happened here just now."

"problem occurs?"

"Well, the Divine Weapon Mirror is being used here, but the master of the Divine Weapon Valley was just knocked out of the city by an unknown master. It is said that it is the Yang God of Dieying."

"Butterfly Shadow?"

"Yes, but the Lord of Gongshu Valley also said that the expert was from the Great Zhou. We don't know what the situation is. We don't understand it."
