Ji Haodian was very regretful at this moment. He had chosen a lot of people in his life, which was why the Zhou Kingdom had such a huge foundation.
When he promoted Su Xin, he had already seen that Su Xin was capable and ambitious, but Ji Haodian was confident that he could control Su Xin.
There were many ambitious people in the entire Zhou Kingdom. These people were also his subjects, and could only be used by him.
So all these years, Su Xin had done a lot of big things for him, and even Su Xin had left an impression in Ji Haodian's heart. As long as Su Xin took action, he would definitely succeed.
But now Ji Haodian regretted it. Not only was Su Xin ambitious, he was also a jackal who wanted to kill his master!
But Ji Haodian did not understand why Su Xin wanted to kill him.
He had already been quite generous to Su Xin. Su Xin could be said to be favored by the emperor. What good would it do for him to kill him? Could it be that one of his sons had colluded with Su Xin and made a promise?
Ji Haodian could not guess these, because his consciousness had gradually begun to blur along with the decline of his primordial spirit.
Su Xin looked at Ji Haodian with a shocked expression on his face, but at this moment, there was no fluctuation in his heart.
The trick in the spirit congealing flower was done by him. Back in the Medicine King Valley, he had used the primordial spirit secret method on the white jade slate to do something.
This primordial spirit secret method was independent of all the primordial spirit secret methods in the pugilistic world. Not to mention that Sun Buhai could not discover it, even those formation masters who personally participated in the study of the white jade slate could not discover it.
Unless there was someone like Sun Buhai who was proficient in pharmacology and formations, they would not be able to discover that Su Xin had done something to the spirit congealing flower. Unfortunately, none of them were like that.
Anyway, now Su Xin knew that only the Chakra King of the Hades could have such a cultivation in alchemy and formations.
As for why Su Xin wanted to kill Ji Haodian, the reason was actually very simple. It was because Ji Haodian made him feel unsafe.
Previously, that sickly Ji Haodian thought that he could control Su Xin, but at the same time, Su Xin also thought that he could control him.
Therefore, during Su Xin's previous actions, he had been able to figure out Ji Haodian's mood very well. While accomplishing his goal, he also made Ji Haodian agree to his plan.
However, ever since the incident with the Spirit Condensation Flower, Su Xin understood that no matter how outstanding his performance was, he was still an outsider in Ji Haodian's eyes. An outsider who could be sacrificed at will.
Ji Haodian knew how difficult it was to go to Medicine King Valley to get the Spirit Condensation Flower without violence. But even if he knew, he still forced this task onto Su Xin, and even sent Nan Heng to check and balance Su Xin. This behavior could already prove Ji Haodian's true attitude towards Su Xin.
Originally, for Su Xin, it didn't matter which one was more beneficial to him, a sickly Ji Haodian or an immortal Ji Haodian. Anyway, he was favored by the Emperor, and he had built a solid foundation in the Zhou Kingdom. It didn't matter to him whether Ji Haodian lived or died.
But now Su Xin knew that a dead Ji Haodian was more beneficial to him.
If Ji Haodian could really live forever, then his control over the Zhou Kingdom would be further enhanced. At that time, if Ji Haodian wanted to force any task onto him, Su Xin wouldn't even have the right to refuse.
Because of this, Su Xin had the intention to kill Ji Haodian from that time.
It was just that killing was one thing, but how to kill was another matter.
In fact, the safest way was for Su Xin to hide quietly in the dark and watch those people from the martial arts sects take action.
But according to Su Xin's understanding of Ji Haodian, since he dared to carry out this great plan of immortality, he already had a complete countermeasure.
For example, even if the world's number one "Pure Yang Tao Master" Li Boyang came forward, and the Zhou Kingdom was no match for the other party in the Real Martial Arts Realm, but Ji Haodian still secretly invited the Real Martial Arts Realm expert of Buddhism, "Treasure Buddha" Suo Nanche.
At present, although it seemed that the Zhou Kingdom was in a weak position, if Su Xin did not come forward, Ji Haodian might die under the sword of He Wushan.
However, with Ji Haodian's personality, who knew what other tricks he might have up his sleeves? So it was safer to do it himself.
And this time, Su Xin risked his life to stop He Wushan not because he was loyal to Ji Haodian, but to completely get rid of the suspicion on himself and to win the favor of the Ji Royal Family.
Once Ji Haodian died, it didn't matter who the new emperor was. Anyway, no one had Ji Haodian's strong prestige, so Su Xin didn't need to please them.
As long as Su Xin could win the favor of the Ji Royal Family, plus he was a member of Six Fan School and had a good relationship with the military, Su Xin's position in the Zhou Kingdom would be unbreakable. Whoever the new emperor was would have to win over Su Xin.
These plans had even been thought of as early as when Su Xin was on the way to Medicine King Valley, and now it was right to do it.
Ji Haodian was indeed prepared. He still had three forbidden puppets that were comparable to Yang God Realm experts.
Unfortunately, these forbidden puppets could only attack when a Yang God Realm warrior stepped into their attack range. They couldn't react to Ji Haodian's current situation.
When the power of Ji Haodian's Primordial Spirit was completely reduced to the extreme, his vitality also completely dissipated.
He Qianshan's sword stopped there. The warriors of the Zhou Kingdom and many people from the Jianghu forces who were fighting fiercely outside were also stunned, unable to react.
Dead? Ji Haodian died just like that? What was this!
Especially the martial arts forces in the Jianghu, they still felt a little confused.
If they knew that Ji Haodian would die, they wouldn't have made this trip.
Not only had they lost many people in the battle, but they had also completely fallen out with the imperial court.
But who would have thought that before they could do anything, Ji Haodian had died because of an accident?
In their opinion, since Ji Haodian dared to use the secret method of Zuo Dao Alliance to transplant Primordial Spirit, he must have had absolute confidence before he did so.
But who would have thought that in the end, they couldn't do anything to Ji Haodian, and in the end, Ji Haodian had played himself to death?
Without saying anything, the existences in the Real Martial Realm turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, they had already flown into the sky and disappeared.
The people from the other sects in the Jianghu did the same. They turned around and left, and the people from the imperial court didn't stop them.
In fact, no matter how Ji Haodian died, their goal had been achieved. The major forces in the Jianghu could not tolerate an eternal Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, so Ji Haodian had to die.
Now that Ji Haodian was dead, the most important thing was that the Zhou Kingdom didn't even have a Crown Prince. The previous Crown Prince had been deposed, and Ji Yancheng and the others, who were the most qualified to become Crown Prince, had also been deposed. So it was easy to imagine how chaotic the Zhou Kingdom would be.
If that was the case, why were they still here? The most important thing was to prepare to defend against the revenge of the Zhou Kingdom after they returned. Of course, they estimated that the Zhou Kingdom wouldn't have time to retaliate against them now. It would be good if the entire Zhou Kingdom didn't fall into chaos.
At this time, the people who were the most confused should be the people from the Ji Royal Family.
Ji Haodian was dead, but the Zhou Kingdom was still there. Whether it was the Six Fan School, the military, or the Royal Worship Hall, their power was not damaged.
To put it bluntly, in the current situation of the Zhou Kingdom, even if there wasn't an Emperor, there would be chaos at most, but the Zhou Kingdom wouldn't fall. Even if someone dared to stir up trouble in the dark, with the current power of the Zhou Kingdom, it could completely suppress them.
But this didn't mean that the Zhou Kingdom really didn't need an Emperor.
It could be for a short time, but in the long run, the Zhou Kingdom would definitely fall apart. Moreover, if there was no Emperor, there would be no one to suppress the dragon vein in Shengjing City. The fate of the Zhou Kingdom would get lower and lower.
The reason why the Zhou Kingdom was located in Shengjing City was that Shengjing City happened to be on a node of the dragon vein. Only a Emperor could suppress the fate of the dragon vein to ensure the stability of the Zhou Kingdom.
For ordinary people, things like fate were illusory. There were even some young, hot-blooded warriors who often shouted that their fate was in their own hands.
But in fact, things like fate really existed. Even some formation masters had proven this.
The righteous sects chose beautiful and lively places as their sects to increase their strength, while the diabolical sects chose dark and cold places as their sects' bases. Now that it was the imperial court, it naturally had to choose the location of the dragon vein as its capital. Only then could the fate of the Zhou Kingdom last for a long time.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to choose a new Emperor. After all, the country couldn't be without a Emperor for a day.
And now, the most difficult thing for the Zhou Kingdom was whether to attack the forces of the Jianghu.
The forces of the Jianghu gathered in the Zhou Kingdom could be said to have completely fallen out with the imperial court. But the problem was that they didn't really kill Ji Haodian. Instead, it was Ji Haodian who died accidentally. In this way, how could they settle the score?
Therefore, after thinking about it, the Zhou Kingdom didn't plan to attack them for now. It wouldn't be too late to take revenge when the Zhou Kingdom stabilized again.
After all, those who attacked were the real top existences in the Jianghu. Shaolin Temple, the leader of the Buddhism Sect, Mingjian Villa, the leader of the Sword Sect, Good Fortune Gate, the leader of the Taoism Sect, the leader of the Xiao Clan of Jiangnan. No matter which one of them it was, they couldn't afford to offend them. Now that the imperial court went to them for revenge, there could only be one result, which was that both sides would suffer.
Therefore, it was better to put this matter aside for the time being and deal with the internal affairs of the Zhou Kingdom first.
Speaking of dealing with the internal affairs, Ji Xuanyuan and the others immediately turned their attention to the princes who had jumped out to force Ji Haodian to abdicate.
For their own interests, they had colluded with those sects to betray the interests of the Zhou Kingdom. Such behavior was unforgivable!
Those princes felt the cold gazes of Ji Xuanyuan and the others. Suddenly, their legs trembled and their eyes showed despair.
