Chapter 164: The Stick and the Sea

“It was around spring. At that time, Father had yet to be conferred the title of king. I was ordered to go out and carry out official duties. At that time, I was young and rash. On the way to handle matters, I stayed for a few days in the Acacia Faction. Then, I encountered a woman.”

“I was a playboy and could not resist the temptation of a woman.

“After that, I was forced to swear that if my daughter was born in the future, I would send her to the Lin family to be adopted. Moreover, I would also need to take my daughter back and cancel her engagement with the Lin family’s son. ”

“What?”

Ji Wuxia’s expression changed as if she had been struck by lightning.

She had never expected that the matter between her and Lin Fei had actually been decided long ago.

“Father, with your cultivation, even if you weren’t a King Realm expert at that time, you shouldn’t have been threatened, right? Moreover, didn’t you inform the Imperial Family after that? Didn’t the Imperial Family ask about this?”

King Zining shook his head, his face revealing an ancient expression.

“It’s useless. The other party’s strength was too powerful. Even the Imperial Family couldn’t do anything to her. At that time, she was already an Emperor Realm expert.”

“Heavens!”

Ji Wuxia’s expression revealed even more shocked.

The other party was actually an Emperor Realm expert!

An Emperor Realm expert was behind all of this?

“Father, who is she?”

King Zining said with a solemn expression,

“She’s Lin Fei’s mother and… the founder of the Acacia Faction—Nalan Hongyu.”

…

At the same time, in a branch of the Acacia Faction, Nalan Hongyu was lying on a reclining chair, reading the information her subordinates had gathered.

Because she was lying down, her red dress was somewhat tight, revealing her beautiful figure.

That lazy gaze simply emitted the aura a prostitute should have.

Those who served by his side were all ashamed of themselves after looking at her.

They were all women. However, only Nalan Hongyu was charming to the bones.

“28 years ago, Lu Xiaoran was abandoned in the Heaven Demon Sect and was adopted by the Heaven Demon Sect. His cultivation is currently at the Spirit Realm.”

“In the Heaven Demon Sect, Lu Xiaoran took in Yun Lige as his disciple…

“In the Black Tortoise True Sect, Xiao Bei obtained first place in the array formation competition, and Lu Xiaoran was ranked 30th in all 18 matches…

“Xiao Bei is already dead? Killed by three people who claimed to be from the Avengers Alliance?

“Interesting, he actually named it the Avengers Alliance. Looks like this Lu Xiaoran should have come from the same place as me.

“He took in Ji Wuxia…

“Someone had once seen the heir of the Ancient Ape Tribe, Fang Tianyuan, in the Heaven Demon Sect…

“The White Bone Demon Sect disappeared overnight…

“The Demon Sect had massacred the few large sects near the Heaven Demon Sect. Only the Heaven Demon Sect was fine? On that day, the Heaven Demon Sect’s ancestor appeared…

“Xiao Bei and Lin Fei’s information had been investigated by two people. One of them impersonated the Heaven Demon Sect Elder Li Daoran and the other was Yun Lige…

“In the Imperial City’s Heaven Prison, when the evil cultivators of the Demon Sect fled, they encountered an Emperor Realm expert who held a Martial Monarch Realm spear…”

After analyzing the information she obtained one by one, Nalan Hongyu’s expression gradually began to become solemn.

“From the looks of it, this Lu Xiaoran should have the same identity as me. We both came from that place. The heavens are really biased. We’re both transmigrators and he’s the chosen one, but I’ve become a nobody.”

“However, this Lu Xiaoran sure is an old hidden monster. No, he was only in his twenties and could only be considered to be a young hidden monster.

“If not for the Acacia Faction infiltrating the entire Great Zhou, I probably wouldn’t have been able to find any information on him. ”

The information was too scattered. If one or two of them were read, it was definitely impossible to easily deduce Lu Xiaoran’s identity.

One needed a lot of information to piece everything together. At the same time, one also needed the identity of a transmigrator like Nalan Hongyu to understand Lu Xiaoran’s secret.

“Since Lu Xiaoran is the chosen one he definitely has some unknown means. I don’t know what they are, but they’re definitely powerful enough. He’s so monstrous that it makes my hair stand on end.”

“His cultivation level, based on a conservatively estimate, should only be higher than the Emperor Realm. However, considering his cautious character, it is very likely that he had hidden his strength. However, he is not ridiculously powerful. Otherwise, he would have long flattened the Ancient Ape Tribe.

“Other than that, he seems to be gathering people who are enemies with the hot shots. I don’t know why, but this is perfect for me to take advantage of.

“Lu Xiaoran, even if you’re really the chosen one, I, Nalan Hongyu, will still drown you in my ocean!!”

…

At this moment, Lu Xiaoran also walked out of the Mountain and River State Painting and left the Ancient Forbidden Area.

The sealing formation set up by the guardian elder was simply like a child’s play to him.

Although others could not open it, Lu Xiaoran opened it effortlessly.

When he returned to the Purple Peace Imperial Palace and asked a few disciples, he naturally understood everything easily.

This made Lu Xiaoran very happy because all the development paths were unfolding as planned.

However, when Ji Wuxia told him about herself, Lu Xiaoran’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then, his mind went blank.

“Master, Lin Fei’s mother might attack us. Please be prepared.”

“Got it. You can leave.”

“Yes.”

After Ji Wuxia left, Lu Xiaoran immediately fell into deep thought.

When he first went to the Acacia Faction, he had already guessed that the Acacia Faction’s ancestor, Fairy Hongyu, might be a transmigrator.

However, he did not expect the other party to be Lin Fei’s biological mother.

Moreover, the other party had deliberately assigned a fiance to Lin Fei and even relied on her strength to create an illusion that she had been captured by her family.

In this way, Lin Fei’s motivation to cultivate to the Emperor Realm was fully secured.

This tactic was really good.

For the first time in his life, Lu Xiaoran felt a sense of danger.

They were both from the same background. Naturally, both parties knew the same tricks.

What was even more terrifying was that the other party had arrived many years earlier than him and her cultivation strength was also much stronger.

This situation was too dangerous. Lu Xiaoran felt that he might not be able to get through it.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoran even had the thought of leaving this place and finding a place to hide and cultivate to the Martial Monarch Realm with his disciples.

However, he knew that this was also unrealistic.

After killing Lin Fei, the other party should have already sensed him. It was even possible that the other party had already arrived in the Great Zhou and was only hiding in a dark place that he was unaware of and observing him.

Other than that, Fang Aotian of the Ancient Ape Tribe and Li Changsheng’s old enemies were both growing rapidly. After a few years, they would probably ascend.

At that time, he would not have a chance to kill them even if he wanted to. And if they knew that Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng were here, they would attack sooner or later.

What would he do then?

Was he supposed to wait for his death?

Even if they did not come, he still had to cultivate, right?

Without Wang Cai and his disciples, it would probably be wishful thinking for him to increase his strength.

Most importantly, when he encountered a threat, he had to eliminate the threat permanently. This was the safest way.

Lu Xiaoran caressed his current strongest weapon, the divine weapon iron rod—the Mountain God Pillar.

The powerful divine might of the divine weapon made him feel a lot more courageous.

“I’ve decided. I’ll give her a taste of my rod!”
