As the time for the sect competition approached, the number of cultivators that arrived in the capital gradually increased and major sects had already led their disciples here.
Among them, Iridescent Clouds Palace, True Fire Sect, Azure Frost Sect and Southern Mountains Sect of the five major sects had already sent Perfected Jin Dan to the capital.
Although they were also part of the five major sects, Misty Peak had yet to send any disciples.
Many cultivators had expected this to happen.
Three years ago, news of the battle at Dongling Valley spread and everyone heard about it. It was said that the battle was extremely tragic and almost all of the paragon disciples of Misty Peak at Foundation Establishment realm were killed.
In fact, Misty Peak even lost a few Perfected Jin Dan disciples!
It was almost impossible to nurture Foundation Establishment Cultivators that were qualified to compete for the Spirit Ranking within three years.
Prior to this, Misty Peak could take up at least three of the ten spots on the Spirit Ranking!
But now, Misty Peak had already lost the qualifications to compete for the Spirit Ranking that they had the most advantage over.
However, no Misty Peak disciple had ever left their names on the Elixir and Weapon Rankings.
Misty Peak only had a slight chance of making it on the Talisman Ranking. However, it was still extremely slim.
Therefore, to everyone, it was even possible that Misty Peak would choose to give up on the sect competition.
Palace, Rain Admiration Pavilion.
A man and woman stood side by side.
The man wore long yellow robes and had his hands behind his back. His forehead was wide and his gaze was wise – he was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The woman beside him was wearing a light yellow dress that trailed along the ground. A ribbon was tied around her waist, perfectly accentuating her exquisite figure.
She was extremely beautiful and had a graceful and elegant aura. She was the third princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the daughter of the emperor, Ji Yaoxue.
"Why didn't you come back earlier?" The emperor asked.
Ji Yaoxue lowered her head in silence.
Frowning slightly, the emperor glanced sideways and asked, "Are you still blaming me?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Ji Yaoxue shook her head gently and said calmly.
The emperor sighed helplessly. "Xue 'er, you have to know that I will definitely not harm you. If there's anyone in this world who's wholeheartedly for your good, it's me. "
"I know. Father, you must be doing this for my own good."
Ji Yaoxue turned around and looked at the emperor with an indifferent gaze. "However, I've already grown up and there are many things that I wish to decide for myself."
"How are you going to make your own decision? Do you really want to become dao companions with a mortal? "
The emperor frowned as he looked at the stubborn Ji Yaoxue. Suddenly, he felt enraged and could not help but raise his voice. "A hundred years later, you will be in your prime but he will already be in his twilight years. How are you going to face him? Have you ever thought about these problems?! "
Seeing that the emperor was enraged, Ji Yaoxue shut his mouth and stopped arguing with him.
Taking a deep breath of air, the emperor composed himself and suddenly said, "A few days ago, I customized a supreme-grade flying sword for you. It's completely customized according to the weight and shape you're used to. Go and get it yourself."
A supreme-grade flying sword?
And custom-made?
Ji Yaoxue was slightly taken aback.
However, in the blink of an eye, Ji Yaoxue reacted and asked probingly, "Is it Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop?"
"You've heard of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop as well?"
The emperor raised his brow slightly and turned to ask.
"Yes,"
Ji Yaoxue nodded. "In the past year, Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop's reputation has already spread to our sect. In the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are probably not many people who haven't heard of Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop."
Pausing for a moment, Ji Yaoxue continued, "I heard that it's Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop's monthly auction today. Master has already prepared the materials and spirit stones for the auction."
"That's good,"
The emperor smiled. "Head over and take a look. At the same time, retrieve that supreme-grade flying sword. You just have to report my name."
Ji Yaoxue frowned.
For some reason, she felt that there was a deeper meaning to her father's smile.
The emperor continued, "I've seen this Mo Ling before. He's not a bad young man. Although he's only in his early twenties, he has a stable temperament and has already achieved his current accomplishments!"
"You definitely won't be able to imagine that Mo Ling is only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. However, he's able to refine supreme-grade …"
"Hold on!"
As though she sensed something, Ji Yaoxue interrupted the emperor and asked with a frown, "Father, what do you mean by that?"
The emperor smiled. "Don't be nervous. I don't have any other intentions. I just want you to see what a true paragon is like. Mo Ling is much stronger than that Su Zimo … "
"Father!"
Ji Yaoxue interrupted the emperor once more with a displeased expression and shook her head. "I don't want that flying sword anymore. I don't want to meet this Mo Ling either."
"Xue 'er, listen to me,"
The emperor said gently, "There's no harm for you to meet this person. Even if you don't fancy him and don't have an affinity with him, it doesn't matter. At the very least, you can befriend the number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou, right? "
Ji Yaoxue fell silent.
When the emperor saw that Ji Yaoxue was moved, he teased, "Furthermore, this flying sword is tailor-made for you. If you don't go and retrieve it, are you going to get Mr. Mo to deliver it to you personally?"
"There's still two more hours before the auction officially begins. There will definitely be many Perfected Jin Dan gathered outside Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop. Let Bai Yuhan accompany you to take a look."
Ji Yaoxue pondered for a moment before nodding.
Just as Ji Yaoxue was about to turn and leave, she was stopped by the emperor.
The emperor asked in a seemingly casual manner, "Right, there's a Foundation Establishment Cultivator called Su Xiaoning in Azure Frost Sect. She's an Elixir Refinement Master and I heard that you guys have a pretty good relationship. What's her background?"
Ji Yaoxue's expression changed when she heard the words' Su Xiaoning '.
Ji Yaoxue glared at her father with an agitated expression and shouted, "Father, I've already cut ties with him a long time ago. Why are you still keeping an eye on the Su family?"
"Father, I've told you not to touch anyone from the Su family! This matter has nothing to do with them at all! "
Ji Yaoxue's expression was frosty as she left the Rain Admiration Pavilion without even turning back.
Looking at Ji Yaoxue's back view, the emperor was expressionless. However, his heart stirred and his eyes shone brightly.
Ji Yaoxue's sudden agitation coupled with the two sentences she said Just Now aroused the emperor's suspicions.
Su Xiaoning?
Someone from the Su family?
How could a disciple of Azure Frost Sect be related to someone from the Su family?
Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?
The Emperor of Great Zhou's expression kept changing and was uncertain.
He had a feeling that there was a secret right before his eyes and he was just short of poking through that window paper!
All of a sudden!
The emperor's heart skipped a beat as he recalled something.
A few years ago, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army who accompanied Ji Yaoxue to Ping Yang Town of Yan Country had returned and reported that the Su family had two sons and a daughter.
If this Su Xiaoning was this woman.
Then, the brother she acknowledged in the capital …
