Just when Ji Luochen was dispatching his troops and generals, he was preparing to counterattack the Western Region.
The Empress Dowager has reached the deepest part of the palace alone.
I saw that in the deepest part of the palace, there was a hall exuding an ancient atmosphere.
Although the main hall exudes an ancient atmosphere, like a dilapidated building that has been in disrepair for a long time, as it gets closer and closer, it can make people feel a sense of fear involuntarily.
When she arrived in front of the main hall, the Queen Mother's forehead was already stained with sweat, and her body was even trembling.
This is an inexplicable pressure that makes people feel terrified, as if there is something terrifying living in the ancient palace.
"Who is coming?"
A faint voice came from the ancient palace.
"I am the 79th Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I want to find Emperor Wuwei."
"What do you have to do with Emperor Wuwei?"
The people inside continued to ask.
"His most beloved son is now facing a life-and-death crisis. I asked him to come out and make the decision for me to save his life."
"Okay, I understand, I'll go and let you know."
Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard in the ancient palace, but the depths of the ancient palace were deep and dark, and one could only hear the sound but not see the person.
When the figure appeared outside the palace, the Queen Mother finally saw that person.
The moment she saw that person, the Empress Dowager's eyes turned red.
"You are finally willing to see me."
After hearing the words of the Empress Dowager, the man's expression did not change at all.
"I said that I will repay you what I owe you. Do you want to use the favor I owe you now?"
When the man spoke, his face was expressionless, as if he were a man with no desires and no external objects could affect his state of mind.
"Do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
The Empress Dowager said with a sad and angry expression.
The man nodded: "From the moment I decided to enter the ancestral temple, I no longer had any feelings. I could only devote myself to cultivation and protecting the inheritance of my Ji family."
The only responsibility of the royal ancestral temple is to protect the immortal kingdom of Zhou Dynasty and ensure the continuous inheritance of the royal family.
The Royal Ancestral Temple does not care about other matters. It will only take action when the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger of annihilation.
The people who enter the royal ancestral temple are all the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After abdicating the throne, they enter the ancestral temple to practice martial arts with great concentration, hoping that one day someone will break through the realm of breaking the void and ascend to the immortal world.
Ascension to the fairy world has also been the long-cherished wish of the Ji family royal family.
But since the first generation ancestor of the Ji family failed to ascend, no one has dared to attempt the feat of ascending to the immortal world.
With the lessons learned from the past, the strong men of the Ji family throughout the generations want to make the most complete preparations, and they will not try any possible failure.
You must be 100% sure.
Of course, during the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, some of the people in the ancestral temple had also passed away. Now, there are only about ten people left in the ancestral temple.
But these ten or so people are all top-notch experts. If they were all born, they would probably shock the world.
Of course, it is not that there are no forces that can compete with Da Zhou. After all, the forces that have been passed down for thousands of years in the arena also have many foundations. If Da Zhou dares to act unscrupulously, he will become the target of public criticism and face the collective resistance of the entire martial arts community.
Therefore, even though Dazhou had many strong men in the ancestral temple, he did not dare to commit a major taboo and arouse the hatred of the warriors in the world.
After hearing the man's answer, the Empress Dowager finally gave up. She closed her eyes to calm down, then opened her eyes and said, "Okay, in that case, just pay back what you owe me."
"Yuan Qi will be beheaded soon, go and help me save him."
"What mistake did he make?"
The man was not in a hurry to take action, but continued to ask.
After hearing what the man said, the Queen Mother fell silent and didn't know how to answer.
"Well, no matter what mistake I made, since you came to me, I can only take action once."
"Let's go, where is Yuan Qi now?"
"I was in the pilgrimage hall before, but I don't know if I'm still there now." The Queen Mother replied.
"I'll take you there."
As soon as the words fell, the man's figure disappeared instantly, and the Empress Dowager disappeared with him.
Although the distance between the ancestral temple and the pilgrimage hall was not close, the man and the Queen Mother quickly arrived at the pilgrimage hall.
Ji Luochen had just dispatched his troops and dispatched his generals. Before he could go to court, he saw two figures appearing in the pilgrimage hall.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
After the Empress Dowager and the figure appeared in the palace, Gai Nie couldn't help but feel startled. He instantly unsheathed Yuan Hong from his waist and pointed it at the two Empress Dowagers who appeared.
"Who is it? How dare you be so bold and break into the pilgrimage temple without permission."
Among the two people who appeared in the pilgrimage hall, one was the Empress Dowager and the other was an old man wearing sackcloth.
Although the old man has gray hair, he is very energetic. Although he is dressed in ordinary clothes, he always gives people a sense of majesty.
Seeing the old man, Ji Luochen narrowed his eyes slightly and already had some guesses in his mind.
This person should be one of the ancestors of the Ji family in the ancestral temple.
The old man glanced around, and finally looked at Ji Luochen who was sitting on the dragon chair.
"Where is my son Yuan Qi?"
"Bold."
When Gai Nie saw that this man was so rude to Ji Luochen, his expression turned cold. He suddenly stabbed out the Yuan Hong in his hand and turned into a cold light before approaching the old man.
"Hey, I'm pretty good at practicing swordsmanship, but it's a pity that I'm a little behind on the realm. If you were at the same realm as me, I wouldn't have the confidence to take on your sword."
"Go ahead."
The old man flicked his finger, and Gai Nie was instantly knocked back.
"Bold."
"presumptuous."
The four commanders of the Jinyi Guards above the court, Yu Huatian and other masters all started to kill the old man.
The old man stood still and gently pushed out with one hand. The result was the same as Gai Nie, Qinglong and others were also knocked away.
"Okay, I'm not in the mood to play around with you here. Leave Ji Yuanqi to me and I'll leave now."
The old man still looked at Ji Luochen who was sitting on the dragon chair.
Ji Luochen leaned forward and said indifferently: "Are you from the ancestral temple?"
"Do you know that you have violated the ancestral precepts of our royal family, Ji?"
"Anyone who enters the ancestral temple is not allowed to come out and participate in the decisions of the reigning emperor."
"If you do this, you may be punished by the ancestral teachings."
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but nodded slightly: "It seems that you are quite a competent member of the Ji family and have not forgotten the ancestral teachings at all."
"Forget it, let me tell you clearly. I have already asked for punishment before I came here. After solving Ji Yuanqi's matter, I will accept the punishment when I return to the ancestral temple."
"But I saved Ji Yuanqi today."
Ji Luochen shook his head: "Then I can tell you clearly that you can't save Ji Yuanqi, and no one can violate my will. Even if you are an ancestor in the ancestral temple, you can't change my decision."
"If you leave now, I can remember that you are my great Zhou Dynasty and I can be open-minded and not embarrass you. But if you are stubborn, then don't blame me for being rude."
"Haha, it's interesting. Are the emperors of our Zhou generation so bloody?"
"Aren't you afraid that the Ancestral Temple will take away your position as emperor and return you to a time when you have nothing?"
The old man said with a slight smile.
Although the old man said it with a smile, the threat contained in it was self-evident.
