Although, Ji Tianxing spent a hundred days in seclusion in the master's secret room.
But after he walked out of the master's secret room, only ten days had passed outside.
The light inside the imperial palace was dim and silent.
The master of the palace has already left.
Ji Tian walked out of the imperial palace and flew to Tianxing Palace at lightning speed.
Half an hour later, as soon as he returned to the gate of Tianxing Palace, a guard commander came to greet him.
"For your information, Lord Territory Lord, His Majesty the Emperor came to see you the evening before yesterday.
Since you were not in the palace, he left. Judging from his expression and reaction, my subordinates seemed to have something very important to see you for."
Hearing the news, Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: "A very important thing? Is it about Long Zaitian?"
So, he ordered the commander of the guards: "Go to Yunxiao Palace quickly and ask the emperor to come over to discuss matters."
The guard commander said he obeyed the order and hurried to Yunxiao Palace.
Ji Tianxing returned to his residence, sat in the study, and waited patiently.
After more than half an hour, Long Yunxiao came over eagerly.
He strode into the study and nodded to Ji Tianxing as a greeting.
When Ji Tianxing saw his solemn look and a hint of worry hidden in his brows, he realized that something was wrong and quickly asked: "Emperor, what do you want from me? Has the matter come to an end?"
Long Yunxiao nodded slightly and said in a gloomy tone: "I know that Long Zaitian's strength has reached the soul refining realm and is difficult to deal with.
Therefore, I specially arranged for two powerful soul refiners to handle this matter to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
The original plan went smoothly, and they took action the day before arriving at the border.
Long Zaitian was seriously injured by them and was about to die...
However, suddenly a mysterious strong man came out and rescued Long Zaitian!"
When Ji Tianxing suddenly heard the news, he immediately frowned, his pupils tightened, and an icy cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Long Zaitian was rescued? Then did your people investigate who rescued Long Zaitian? Where was Long Zaitian rescued?"
Long Yunxiao nodded and said in a low tone: "Of course they have traced it, but it's a pity that the mysterious strong man was too strong and his identity was not exposed at all.
They were also seriously injured and nearly killed by the mysterious strong man, but they luckily escaped.
As for where Long Zaitian was rescued, no one knows, and my people are still investigating."
"Damn it!" Ji Tianxing said angrily: "We finally managed to bring down Long Zaitian, but we can eradicate it right before our eyes and avoid future troubles forever.
Unexpectedly, he was rescued and his whereabouts are unknown.
If he is allowed to recover and form a powerful force, he will definitely come back and retaliate against us.
Although I am not afraid of his revenge, it is still a troublesome matter!"
Long Yunxiao nodded slightly and said angrily: "Yes, I have been unable to sleep these past few days. As long as the dragon remains in the sky, I will be like a thorn in my back!"
Ji Tianxing was silent for a moment and then said seriously: "Now that it has happened, it can only be like this.
Long Zaitian is very scheming. When I took away the Ten Thousand Gu Altar, he anticipated the result and must have made arrangements in advance.
The mysterious strong man who rescued him was probably his backup plan arranged in advance.
But I really can’t think of any other powerful people in the Soul Refining Realm under his command except Yu Tianhong and Murong Zheng?”
Long Yunxiao frowned, looked at him with burning eyes, and said via voice transmission: "The two strong men arranged by me reported the situation in detail to me after the plan failed.
The mysterious strong man's body shape does not resemble that of the human race, and the exercises and secret techniques he performs are not human martial arts.
According to their speculation, that mysterious strong man is most likely a demon!"
"What?" Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face.
"The mysterious strong man who rescued Long Zaitian turned out to be a demon? Could it be that Long Zaitian had secretly colluded with the demons a long time ago?"
Long Yunxiao shook his head and said with confusion on his face: "I am also very confused and feel that there is something fishy about this matter.
No matter how sinister and despicable Long Zaitian is, he would never dare to collude with the demons. That is a taboo of the human race!
If he really colluded with the demons, the emperor would not have known about it and would have dealt with him long ago..."
Hearing his analysis, Ji Tianxing became more and more confused, "If Long Zaitian didn't collude with the demons, then why did the powerful demons rescue him?"
"This... I don't know yet, so I can only send people to continue investigating." Long Yunxiao showed a look of helplessness.
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, this matter can only be done by you. You must investigate clearly. It is best to find out the whereabouts of Long Zaitian.
If he cannot be completely killed, we will have to beware of his revenge in the future."
Long Yunxiao nodded slightly and said: "I understand, don't worry, this is my top priority.
In addition, I came to you for a second matter.
The Imperial Court has dealt with many wealthy families and forces, and the turmoil in this matter is gradually subsided.
Now the emperor has to deal with the Ten Thousand Gu Altar. After all, Murong Zheng, Yu Tianhong and many wealthy and powerful people are still controlled by the poison.
The Imperial Court wants to take back this evil magic weapon and destroy it completely to prevent this evil thing from being passed down and causing harm to the world again.
Tianxing, the emperor ordered me to come to you, and you hand over the Ten Thousand Gu Altar to me, so that I can take it back to the emperor’s court for business.”
This decision of the Imperial Court was already anticipated by Ji Tianxing.
He didn't feel surprised at all, nor did he show any resistance or reluctance. He simply took out the Ten Thousand Gu Altar and handed it to Long Yunxiao.
Long Yunxiao solemnly accepted the Ten Thousand Gu Altar, then said goodbye to him and left Tianxing Palace.
After Long Yunxiao left, Ji Tianxing sat in the study and thought for a while before going back to his room to rest.
The day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, the commander of the guards came to the door and reported a piece of news.
"For your information, Lord Territory Lord, here is a secret letter sent from Donglin Divine General's Mansion."
"Xiao Han finally wrote me a reply?" Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
He waved his hand and opened the door, asking the guard commander to bring the letter in.
After taking the letter, he asked the guard commander to step back, and then carefully read the contents of the letter.
I saw a few lines of majestic, vigorous and powerful characters written on the pages of fine gold silk rice paper. It was Xiao Han's handwriting.
"Mr. Ji, I have already reported the matter you asked me to, and specifically asked the elders of the Xiao clan for their opinions.
Now, news has finally come from within the clan. After I receive the news, I will notify you as soon as possible.
My ancestor left the Xiao clan decades ago and traveled abroad.
Fortunately, the ancestor returned to the Xiao clan five years ago.
One month from now, it happens to be our clan’s Holy Fire Festival, and our clan will have a grand celebration at that time.
I want to take the opportunity to return to the Xiao clan, and if Mr. Ji is willing, you can go with me."
