The emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty was like a bolt from the blue. Zhou Jingrui escaped. Once he appeared in front of the Tianxing Sect Master and told the truth, then... the consequences would be unimaginable. At this moment, his face turned completely white. His hands and feet were cold as he stood there.
As a true disciple, Wang Chen's knowledge was certainly extraordinary, but the Emperor of Western Zhou thought that he had absolutely no reason to doubt himself. However, the Emperor of Western Zhou could not have imagined the complexity within the Tianxing Sect.
Before coming, there were differences within the sect about this candidate. In the end, Elder Wenjian decided on his disciple Wang Chen. Elder Wenjian warned him that the Ji Daozong lineage might threaten Jiang Xiu's life, so Jiang Xiu had May be avoided.
Therefore, when he heard that Jiang Xiu had left, his first reaction was that the trip was in vain, but soon, he thought that Jiang Xiu might have asked the Western Zhou Emperor to send him away.
Moreover, when he saw the nervous look on the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he did not say anything to persuade him to stay. He wished that he would leave early. He became even more sure that the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty wanted to send him away, so he said, "I am tired after coming all the way. I am tired. The Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty arranged a place for me to rest."
"ah!"
The expressions of the Western Zhou Emperor and Zhou Jinglang changed.
"Yes, yes..." The Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty said: "Look at me, come on, quickly arrange a place for the Immortal to rest, and prepare a banquet to welcome the Immortal."
On one side, they have to deal with the Supreme Immortal of Tianxing Sect, but here the Western Zhou Emperor and the new crown prince are almost weak from fear. The Supreme Immortal is in the palace, and Zhou Jingrui is also in the palace, so the chance of meeting them is high.
"Publish my decree and kill the former prince if you see him."
A new round of manhunts began in the Imperial City, focusing more on the area around the Imperial City, Leng Palace. There were patrols everywhere in the palace, but only Leng Palace was relatively weak. They believed that Zhou Jingrui was still in the Leng Palace area.
At this moment, Zhou Jingrui is actually still in the cold palace, hiding in the well in the cold palace. Although his place is very remote, it is quite close to the streets outside. Normally, there is no sound, but today there is a little movement. Big, he thought about the possibility that someone from the Tianxing Sect was the only one, so he took the risk and hid in the well to create the illusion of his escape.
When Zhou Jingrui saw the soldiers starting to search, he knew that what he had expected was true. It was indeed the Immortal of the Tianxing Sect who had arrived. He had never thought about betraying the Western Zhou Dynasty, but he was unwilling to be trapped here forever. He wanted to escape from the imperial city. Even if you can't become an emperor, you don't want to be a prisoner forever. Ordinary people can at least have freedom.
"Did you find it?"
"No, keep searching!"
"The Holy Emperor ordered that the former prince be killed without mercy if found."
The guards' voices came from time to time. Zhou Jingrong hid under the well and felt desolate. His father really regarded him as a traitor of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
After the crowd left, Zhou Jingrui started to show up. He had been planning in his mind for a long time for this day, and finally it came in handy.
Which road should be taken and how to go? He had been planning in his mind for a long time, just like playing a game. He had played through each level countless times.
After he climbed over the wall and came out, he ran outside. He remembered that the gate was on the south side.
"Huh? It's the prince. I saw the prince."
Zhou Jingrui was startled. He was discovered right after the first pass and ran away. Little did he know that the Crown Prince, whose IQ was not up to par, actually wanted to go out through the main entrance.
However, he still suffered a little. He immediately knocked down a soldier who rushed up, snatched the sword from his hand, and tried to break out of the encirclement.
"Stop him and don't let him go to the main hall."
"kill!"
Seeing that the guard who used to protect him wanted to kill him, Zhou Jingrui felt cold in his heart. He wanted to explain to his father that he could not be the prince, but he would never betray the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The reason why he reported to Tianxing Sect last time was because unlike his father, he didn't know the difference between right and wrong and didn't know the importance.
"Father!"
Zhou Jingrui shouted and decided to fight towards the main hall. This prince had been trained as a prince since he was a child. He was also taught by a national master and his cultivation was extremely close to that of a heavenly being.
"Get out of the way, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
He was also furious.
"Stop him, stop him..."
Zhou Jingrui flew up, flew up to the roof, and then rushed towards the main hall. The guards also flew up to the roof to chase him, and it was a panic for a while.
Wang Chen's ears were so sharp that he felt something strange just by sitting down. He even heard shouts in the distance, but he didn't make a sound, but he knew in his heart that something was wrong.
"Father!"
The Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty never expected that his son would fight all the way to the main hall with blood dripping on his face. He screamed in horror: "Kill him, kill him..."
Zhou Jingrui couldn't believe it and couldn't believe it: "Father..."
"Kill him..." The muscles on the Western Zhou Emperor's face were trembling.
"Wait!"
Wang Chen opened his mouth, but those guards also knew what was going on. If they dared to neglect, they would go up and strike at Zhou Jingrui. However, Wang Chen just flicked his sleeve, and all the dozen or so guards surrounding Zhou Jingrui were blown away by the wind.
If the disciples of Tianxing Sect don't take action, they will definitely shock the whole audience.
"You think my words fall on deaf ears!"
The emperor of Western Zhou Dynasty and the new prince were frightened.
No one dares to go up.
Wang Chen said: "I heard when I came here that the former prince took an immortal from the Tianxing Sect into the palace as a guest. You should be the former prince."
There is also a pendant of the former prince hanging on his body.
"yes!"
Wang Chen said: "Then, where is the Supreme Immortal from Tianxing Sect?"
The feet of everyone present in the Western Zhou Dynasty were trembling. The Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty stared wide-eyed and his pupils dilated. As long as Zhou Jingrui said, they killed Jiang Xiu, the fate of the Western Zhou Dynasty would be unimaginable.
"Father, I have never betrayed Western Zhou Dynasty. Why don't you believe me and still want to kill me?"
The Emperor of Western Zhou Dynasty looked at him but said nothing.
Zhou Jingrui stood up with difficulty on the ground with his sword, blood flowing continuously: "Some things are wrong just because they are wrong. Don't use the so-called national justice to force your wrong decisions on innocent people."
"You traitor!" the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty yelled: "Are you trying to teach me a lesson? Don't forget that your queen mother and your sister are all still under my control."
"You dare to talk nonsense, you should consider the consequences yourself."
Zhou Jingrui couldn't believe that his father would threaten him with the lives of his mother and sister. He was desperate, completely desperate.
"You forced me!"
Zhou Jingrui thought of Jiang Xiu's death and his father's cruelty. In addition, he also wanted to turn defeat into victory. Otherwise, his mother and sister would definitely be in misery. "Jiang Shangxian, Jiang Shangxian was harmed by their conspiracy."
boom!
The heads of the people in Xizhou exploded.
"What?"
Wang Chen cried out.
"Bastard!" the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty shouted: "Sir, please don't listen to the nonsense of this rebellious son. This son's intention to usurp the throne was discovered by me. He actually slandered me in the Western Zhou Dynasty and wanted to use the Tianxing Sect for his own benefit." Revenge should be punished."
Zhou Jingrui said: "Shang Immortal, everything I said is true."
The two immediately started arguing.
Wang Chen listened for a while. People are sometimes very subjective and prefer to believe what they want. He didn't quite believe that the Western Zhou Dynasty would kill Jiang Xiu for no reason. He didn't believe it even more. A small Western Zhou Dynasty dared to Kill his disciples of Tianxing Sect.
"You said we killed Jiang Shangxian. The evidence is purely slander. Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Zhou Jingrui is an honest man. He really didn't see that when these people surrounded Jiang Xiu, he was already locked up and he couldn't answer for a while.
"You have nothing to say?"
"Shangxian, you have also seen that this son is so ambitious that he actually intends to use Tianxing Sect as a gun. He is extremely vicious and unforgivable."
Wang Chenjian and Zhou Jingrui were speechless when asked and believed the words of the Western Zhou Emperor even more.
The plan failed, and such a hateful plot came up.
"This is your Western Zhou Dynasty state affairs. It is inconvenient for the Immortal to interfere."
Zhou Jingrui shouted: "Shangxian, you are confused. Your brothers and sisters are being persecuted for no reason, and you are indifferent."
"presumptuous!"
Wang Chen was so angry that a little deposed prince dared to accuse him.
"Come on, pull Zhou Jingrui down and chop him..."
A voice came: "Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, do you think it will be fine if you chop him down?"
