No one cared about the appearance of the Human Emperor's Sword. In the eyes of the princes of the Zhou Kingdom, the Human Emperor's Sword only represented one thing: the position of the crown prince!
Everyone had seen Ji Haodian's current state. Even with the support of elixirs, he did not have many years left to live.
Therefore, seizing the position of the crown prince at this time was equivalent to having half a foot on the throne.
The altar was shrouded in a faint light, which made it look very peaceful.
However, no one present believed that there were no traps in this place.
This was the cenotaph of the ancestors of the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom. How could there be no protection at all?
None of the three groups prepared to go first. They all stared at each other.
Soon, however, they could not hold on any longer.
Ji Yancheng and Ji Yanheng had not arrived yet.
There was no need to mention Ji Yancheng's subordinates. Not only did he have the support of Lord Protector Zheng, but he also had the support of several dukes and marquises from the Zhou Kingdom. Coupled with the people from the Su family of the Ningyuan Store, he was the strongest among them.
Ji Yanheng, the deposed crown prince, was not simple either. No one knew how he had hooked up with the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple alone was powerful enough.
If the three of them continued to dawdle here, it would be impossible for them to seize the initiative when Ji Yancheng and Ji Yanheng arrived.
The three of them discussed for a bit and decided that each family would send a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm to test the waters.
Three warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm were chosen and stepped onto the edge of the altar almost at the same time.
However, a gap suddenly appeared on the altar. Three metal puppets in armor appeared on the altar and let out an inhuman roar. They held long spears in their hands and attacked the three warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm. Their spears were like dragons, and their battle formation was unparalleled!
The power that the three metal puppets unleashed in an instant was very shocking. Most importantly, their spears could draw the power of heaven and earth. Moreover, their own spear techniques had reached the pinnacle. They were no different from warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm who had come from a battle formation.
Those who were more knowledgeable immediately gasped and said, "It's the spirit warrior of Jue Sect!"
Jet-Black Sect's puppetry techniques were renowned throughout the world, but this Heroic Spirit General could be said to be the pinnacle of Jet-Black Sect's puppetry techniques.
Some of Mo Sect's mechanical grandmasters had always been researching the most perfect mechanical puppets, not the cold metal puppets.
In their imagination, the most perfect mechanical puppet should be an existence similar to a martial artist, capable of thinking, able to cultivate, and even able to upgrade according to its own materials.
Of course, in the eyes of most people, this idea was simply like a fantasy.
After so many years, although the mechanical grandmasters of the Mo Gate hadn't managed to develop the mechanical puppet that they wanted, they had managed to come up with something similar, and that was the Heroic Spirit General.
The body of the Heroic Spirit General was the body of a normal mechanical puppet. However, the mechanical grandmasters of Jet-Black Sect had created it extremely meticulously, making it look exactly like a human body. Even the bones in its joints were completely built according to the proportions of a human body.
Then, they would find a martial artist in the Divine Transformation Realm or above who came from a battle formation. When that martial artist was about to pass away, they would willingly place their Divine Transformation power into the metal puppet. Then, the mechanical grandmasters of Jet-Black Sect would seal it with a formation and fuse it, finally turning it into the so-called Heroic Spirit General.
However, the Heroic Spirit General had a huge flaw.
Primordial Soul Realm martial artists were existences that were about to pass away. In the end, even if they poured the last of their Divine Transformation power into the Heroic Spirit General, they would only be able to use their spiritual power.
Thus, after being reinforced by the mechanical grandmasters' formation, the Heroic Spirit General would not be able to think or even cultivate like they had imagined, becoming an immortal existence.
What made the Heroic Spirit General stronger than ordinary metal puppets was that they maintained their fighting instincts. They were not like ordinary metal puppets, which were rigid and inflexible.
Moreover, ordinary metal puppets could only use their powerful bodies to fight, which was equivalent to a humanoid weapon.
Because the Heroic Spirit General had the Divine Transformation power of a Primordial Soul Realm martial artist integrated into it, it could communicate with the power of the world. At the very least, once they fought, the Heroic Spirit General was almost no different from martial artists of the same level, or even stronger.
This was because their bodies were harder and they had no intelligence. They only knew how to fight and kill, and they were not afraid of death.
It would take Jet-Black Sect more than 10 years to create a Heroic Spirit General, and it would even require luck. After all, not everyone would be willing to give everything they had to a metal puppet before they died.
As such, these Heroic Spirit General were not from the Zhou Kingdom. Instead, the Zhou Kingdom had obtained them from the State of Jin.
Although the three martial artists in the Divine Transformation Realm were not weak, the Heroic Spirit General, who was not afraid of death, was obviously stronger. They were suppressed after a few moves.
Ji Yanyu and the others felt that something was wrong and quickly sent another martial artist in the Divine Transformation Realm to help. However, three more Heroic Spirit General emerged from the altar, which immediately caused the expressions of everyone present to change.
They could see that the altar simply released the number of Heroic Spirit General based on the number of martial artists in the Divine Transformation Realm outside. However, the number of Heroic Spirit General that came out of the altar was the same.
Although it was not easy to make Heroic Spirit General, the Zhou Kingdom had robbed all the wealth of the State of Jin in the past. As such, no one knew how many Heroic Spirit General there were.
In desperation, they could only prepare to temporarily withdraw their people. However, at this time, Ji Yancheng arrived with the Su family of the Ningyuan Hall, Chen Tianzhi, and several other dukes and marquises of the Zhou Kingdom.
Seeing that Ji Yanyu and the others had already entered the arena to fight the Heroic Spirit General, Ji Yancheng immediately waved his hand and let Chen Tianzhi and the others enter as well. This made everyone present feel strange.
This Ji Yancheng's actions were indeed rash. He didn't even look at the situation before sending people to charge forward.
However, no one present reminded him. Ji Yanyu and the others were even more happy to see this. Wasn't it better to have a few more people to explore the way?
The people of the Su family did not enter the arena. The five people were all glaring at Su Xin, especially Su Zhongwei and Su Zhongyuan. They had both been seriously injured by Su Xin.
Seeing that Su Xin was here, the other two people of the Su family immediately wanted to rush out and fight Su Xin. However, they were stopped by the eldest of the Su family, Su Zhonghai.
"Big Brother! This brat didn't recognize the bloodline of the Su family. He even dared to hurt Second Brother and Twelfth Brother. We can't let this matter go! "
There were more than ten warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm in this generation of the Su family. Su Zhonghai was the oldest one. He had reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm and was ready to break through to the Harmonious Divine Realm. Therefore, his personality was also the calmest.
Although he was extremely angry after hearing about what Su Xin had done, he knew that he had to focus on the overall situation.
If the Su family wanted to return to the world of martial arts, they were bound to clash with the top forces in the world of martial arts.
The world of martial arts in the Central Plains was only so big. Once the Su family reappeared in the world of martial arts, they were bound to clash with the local forces unless they ran to the 36 countries of the Western Region or the northern grasslands.
The current world of martial arts was not the same as it was thousands of years ago. The Su family of the Ningyuan Hall was also not the Su family of the Ningyuan Hall.
If they could not even see through this, then the Su family was not arrogant, but idiots.
Therefore, the Su family urgently needed a helper to help them regain their foothold in the world of martial arts. The battle for the throne was an opportunity. The person they chose to support was this helper.
Therefore, even if they were angry about Su Xin, they had to help Ji Yancheng get the Human Emperor's Sword first.
Su Xin's strength was amazing. He was able to seriously injure Su Zhongwei and Su Zhongyuan even when fighting against two people at the same time. Could the remaining three people of the Su family take him down?
Moreover, even if they could take him down, the strength of their side would definitely be greatly damaged. At that time, how could they compete with the subordinates of the other princes?
Su Zhonghai was very clear about these pros and cons. Therefore, he stopped the other people of the Su family from making a move. He would settle the score after leaving the Kunlun Mystery Land.
The others looked at Su Xin with a slightly strange gaze. They did not know how he offended the people of the Su family of the Ningyuan Hall again.
However, the Su family of the Ningyuan Hall had been in seclusion for too long. At least most of the people present did not know the origin of the Su family of the Ningyuan Hall. Therefore, they did not feel anything about it. Anyway, as far as they knew, Su Xin had offended more than one or two people.
However, at this time, the crown prince, Ji Yanheng, also arrived with the people of the Shaolin Temple.
Ji Yanheng still looked dispirited, but when the monks of the Shaolin Temple looked at Su Xin, their eyes instantly turned red, and their faces darkened.
They now knew what it meant to harm others without benefiting oneself.
Su Xin killing the evil spirit Taoist did not benefit him at all, but he had really harmed the people of the Shaolin Temple.
Ji Yanheng was disliked by the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom. Now, his status was almost the same as being directly abolished.
This time, the Shaolin Temple had to help Ji Yanheng get the Human Sovereign Sword and reclaim the position of the crown prince that belonged to him.
Therefore, after entering the Kunlun Mystery Land, the Shaolin Temple was also the one who searched the most frantically for the Human Sovereign Sword. They even went to the edge of the Kunlun Mystery Land, which was why they were the last to come.
However, they did not expect that the place where the Human Sovereign Sword appeared was in the center of the Kunlun Mystery Land. In less than a day, even if they turned the entire Kunlun Mystery Land upside down, they would not be able to find the Human Sovereign Sword.
This time, the Shaolin Temple was miserably tricked by Su Xin. If they had brought the evil spirit Taoist here, not to mention whether he could calculate where the Human Sovereign Sword was, at least they would not have to run all over the place like now, wasting two days and losing the initiative.
The other princes below had already started to fight for it. They were the only ones who came here stupidly.
However, at this time, a person from the Shaolin Temple stood up. His murderous aura was soaring to the sky. He did not look like a monk, but more like a devil.
