After the time for an incense stick to burn, the martial artists besieging Ji Wujun were frightened away one after another. However, Ji Wujun did not stop there. Instead, she chased after them and killed five people in a row before stopping.
This woman was ruthless, but she was a real martial artist.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. When he saw Ji Wujun flying towards Great Jing, he felt that something was amiss. Don’t tell me she’s coming here to look for me again?
Two months later, his guess was confirmed.
Sure enough, Ji Wujun came to find him.
First, this woman bought a courtyard in the capital. Then, she changed into ordinary women’s clothes and came to visit Jiang Changsheng.
When Ye Xun saw her, his eyes immediately lit up.
It was not that he coveted Ji Wujun’s beauty, but he wanted to challenge her. He could sense that this woman was extremely powerful.
Ji Wujun ignored Ye Xun’s gaze and looked at Jiang Changsheng. “I heard that Great Jing accepts martial artists from all over the world. Are you willing to accept me?”
Jiang Changsheng asked, “Miss, you are very powerful, so why are you choosing to reside in Great Jing?”
Ji Wujun sighed and said, “The Sacred Dynasty has fallen and the imperial family has split up. In order to split up the fortune of the Sacred Dynasty, they began to fight. As a result, I offended a powerful expert in the Nine
Grotto-heaven realm, so I could only stay away from the area where they were active. I chose Great Jing because the Dragon Vein Continent is far enough away from them, and you are also the strongest expert I know in the ocean.”
“At the very least, I am in the Six Grotto-heaven realm. If Great Jing is in a desperate situation, I can take action.” Enemy in the Nine Grotto-heaven realm!
Six Grotto-heaven realm!
Ye Xun’s eyelids twitched when he heard that, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
This woman could shake his position in the Dao Ancestor’s heart!
The three demons were surprised and conflicted at the same time. A Six Grotto-heaven realm expert had been forced to hide in Great Jing, which meant that they had to bear her grudges.
Jiang Changsheng asked in his heart.
“How powerful is the strongest expert chasing after this woman?” [Requires 15,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
15 million!
How ruthless.
10 million incense points was equivalent to a Nine Grotto-heaven realm expert. As it exceeded the normal amount by 5 million incense points, it was proof that the other party had stepped into this realm for a period of time.
Jiang Changsheng asked, “Can I ask why they are chasing you?”
Ji Wujun calmly said, “Because I am from the Ji Family, and the Ji Family is the imperial family of the Sacred Dynasty. My talents make them fear me.”
As soon as he said that, Ye Xun, Bai Qi, Huang Tian and Hei Tian were moved. Bai Qi could not help but ask, “Are you the princess of the Sacred Dynasty?”
Ji Wujun said, “In the past, I was. The Emperor of the Sacred Dynasty was my half-brother. I was conferred the title of general, so I am technically not a princess. Senior, you don’t have to worry too much. I only have one enemy. As for the Ji Imperial Family, with the exception of me, all of them have turned into dust with the Emperor. At the last moment of the Sacred Dynasty, they ignited their luck and prayed for blessings for the human race. However, because I left the imperial family early, I was not affected.”
This identity was complicated.
Jiang Changsheng thought about it and felt that he could still keep Ji Wujun. In any case, the strongest enemy she had was only a Nine Grotto-heaven realm expert. If he rejected her, how long would it take for Great Jing to nurture a Six Grotto-heaven realm expert?
“I can agree to your stay, but in the next fifty years, you have to keep a low profile. Focus on practicing martial arts and break through to a higher realm. This will allow your enemy to forget you.”
Jiang Changsheng thought about this. Hearing the answer, Ji Wujun revealed a smile for the first time. This woman looked pretty good when she smiled, and in an instant, she looked feminine.
Ji Wujun cupped her fists and said, “Thank you, Senior. I am indeed tired. It is time for me to concentrate on studying martial arts.” Jiang Changsheng nodded in agreement.
Ji Wujun didn’t stay long and soon said goodbye.
Ye Xun smiled and said, “Dao Ancestor, for you to accept such an expert and shouldering her hatred for her, you have done a great deal of favor for Great Jing. Why do you have to do this?”
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and said, “Forget it. Don’t tell anyone about this for the time being. Let her keep a low profile for the time being.” The 50-year deadline was not only for Ji Wujun, but also for him.
50 years later, his strength would definitely undergo another transformation.
Of course, he was not afraid of a Nine Grotto-heaven realm expert. It was just to be safe.
He had to be careful with her identity as a member of the imperial family of the Sacred Dynasty.
Above the boundless ocean, a fleet of ships moved forward quickly. This fleet was extremely huge, and there were more than five hundred ships of various sizes. There were also many martial artists flying in the air or riding on flying mounts.
Mu Lingluo sat on the roof of the largest ship, enjoying the ocean breeze. Her hair and white clothes fluttered in the wind, making her look exceptionally otherworldly.
Not only did she obtain the Saint Mansion’s Beauty Retaining Technique, but she also obtained Jiang Changsheng’s Beauty Retaining Pill that was delivered through the Golden-scaled Jade Leaves. Therefore, she looked about the same age as Jiang Changsheng.
Due to Jiang Changsheng’s protection, Mu Lingluo’s status in the Mu Family almost exceeded Mu Xuangang’s. Therefore, no one dared to disturb her, nor did anyone dare to have improper thoughts about her. Martial artists who joined on the way would be stopped and threatened by the Mu Family’s disciples.
Mu Lingluo slowly opened her eyes and turned around with a frown.
There were no abnormalities behind the fleet, nor were there any demon beasts or vicious beasts.
However, she felt something. She stood up and turned to look at the horizon.
Mu Xuangang appeared beside her out of nowhere and whispered, “You noticed it too?”
Mu Lingluo nodded and said, “It’s very hot, but the other party doesn’t have any killing intent. They might not be targeting us.”
After being in the ocean for so many years, they had encountered all kinds of martial artists, demon beasts, and ancient mythical beasts. Not every time they encountered them, they would have to fight and kill. Therefore, they had developed a cautious personality and did not rashly make judgments.
The grandfather and granddaughter looked at the end of the horizon and began to chat, mainly because Mu Xuangang was concerned about Mu Lingluo’s martial arts training.
Mu Lingluo seemed to have obtained an extraordinary martial arts technique from an immortal god. He did not dare to force her, so he told the other disciples not to disturb her practice.
She had already grasped the initial stages of the Invincible Reincarnation Scripture and could display the Invincible Reincarnation Palm. The strength of her fists and palms was similar, but she preferred to use her palms. She felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for the woman to punch.
The grandfather-granddaughter pair did not chat for long before a gust of hot wind blew by. At that moment, everyone sensed that something was amiss and turned around.
Mu Lingluo seemed to have seen something and could not help but be surprised. The flames gradually covered her beautiful face.
She was not the only one. Mu Xuangang was also shocked and hastily shouted, “Protect the fleet!”
At the end of the horizon, there was a sea of fire. If one were to take a closer look, they would see a huge bird with a wingspan of ten thousand feet. The flame that covered it was several times larger than its size, and it covered the sky.
Everyone was shocked. Some people with low martial arts realms were so frightened that they sat on the ground. They were considered knowledgeable at sea, but they had never seen such a beast. The terrifying flames were like a mythical beast that had descended to the mortal world.
Before they could think further, a terrifyingly high temperature enveloped them. Some martial artists in the water could not help but look up and ask as their vision was blocked by the fleet. “Why has the water become hot?”
Soon after, they widened their eyes and witnessed the sea of fire sweeping across the sky. They opened their mouths wide because they saw a huge bird in the sea of fire.
Mu Lingluo and Mu Xuangang turned around and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party did not target the fleet and directly swept past them.
That demon beast’s aura was so powerful that Mu Lingluo’s hand that was holding a Golden-scaled Jade Leaf broke out in cold sweat.
It was more terrifying than all the huge beasts they had encountered before.
Mu Xuangang muttered, “The world is really going to be in chaos. I wonder how the Ancient God Continent is right now…”
“How tragic.”
Jiang Changsheng was using the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth to spy on the Ancient God Continent. Right now, corpses were everywhere, both humans and demons. The mountains and forests had become desolate. The demon beast army that was as vast as an ocean trampled on an entire continent. There were also terrifying and mighty figures running rampant.
As the Saint Mansion was flattened, the Ancient God Continent completely fell.
Even though most of the forces had fled in advance, there were still many who stayed behind. All of them had encountered hellish massacres.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and stopped looking.
The defeat of the Sacred Dynasty meant that the human race would have to bear the horror of the demon race for a long time.
Today, Jiang Che came.
He was currently telling Ye Xun about his plans for the construction of Tianhai. Ye Xun was from Tianhai, after all, so he was also somewhat interested.
Jiang Che was prepared to turn Tianhai into the largest hunting ground in Great Jing to hunt demon beasts!
Ever since Great Jing began to eliminate demons, he had discovered the value of demon beasts. The flesh and blood of many demon beasts were great supplements for martial artists. Demon beasts had also evolved offensive body parts that were suitable for making weapons or leather armor. Under the operation of the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce, demon beasts became filled with value, attracting more and more martial arts sects to hunt demons.
Once Jiang Che’s plan was implemented, the order of Tianhai would certainly decline and become a paradise for martial artists. However, if there were more martial artists, mortals would inevitably be oppressed.
Ye Xun did not mind. He felt that Jiang Che’s plan was pretty good.
“Not bad, not bad. I think you already have the qualifications to be the next
Emperor.”
Ye Xun patted Jiang Che on the shoulder and smiled. Jiang Che, who originally had an excited smile on his face, instantly smiled unnaturally.
He experienced how Jing Renzong felt back then.
It was very likely that he would become an emperor for a short time, just like his grandfather.
Emperor Shuntian gave birth to him when he was young. Now that he was powerful, it was not impossible for him to live for another hundred years with the help of the luck of a Sovereign Dynasty.
Perhaps he would die earlier than Emperor Shuntian. Every time he thought of this, his heart was filled with fear.
Could it be that he would not become an emperor until his death?
Since ancient times, only Jing Renzong had a good ending as the crown prince of Great Jing. However, Jing Renzong had been an emperor for only fourteen years.
Jiang Changsheng noticed the change in his expression and could guess his thoughts. However, he had no choice. He had to accept this reality.
After being interrupted by Ye Xun, Jiang Che lost interest and quickly left.
Ye Xun did not think much of it. He was a martial arts fanatic and did not care about the imperial power.
One night a few days later, Jiang Changsheng visited Mu Lingluo in her
dreams.
Mu Lingluo mentioned the mysterious firebird she had seen before.
“That beast flew over our heads and caused tens of thousands of people to suffer varying degrees of burns. Even some of the ships were damaged. If it landed on a piece of land, I can’t imagine what kind of damage it would cause.”
Mu Lingluo still had lingering fears. The aura that the mysterious firebird radiated was too terrifying. Even her grandfather said that even if all the members of the Mu Family were to attack together, they would still die under its talons..
