144: Chapter 144 The True Identity of Jacaranda

Half an hour later.

Relying on an astonishing speed that surpassed that of an average Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator, Ji Taichang swept directly across the entire Great Wu Dynasty, slaughtering all the Demonic Path evil Cultivators who were wreaking havoc within the borders, and collecting their Souls into the human emperor flag.

The human emperor flag was packed with dense crowds of vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts, with Devilish Qi surging, their faces twisted in agony, emitting bursts of shrill roars, numbering in the millions!

It was like a corner of Hell!

The black Qi of the human emperor flag grew increasingly dense, and its power reached the peak of a Medium Grade Magic Treasure, showing faint signs of transforming into a High Grade Magic Treasure!

Soon.

Ji Taichang arrived at the capital of the Great Wu Dynasty.

As the place where the Great Wu Dynasty's Dragon Qi converged, the capital had not been attacked by the Demonic Path evil Cultivators.

It was mainly because Ji Taichang had slaughtered the only Soul Transformation Stage Devil Head, and the other Devil Heads did not dare to attack the capital.

"Good son-in-law!"

"Husband!!"

When Emperor Jingxuan, Qin Ruolin, and the others saw Ji Taichang appear, their eyes all lit up, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found their backbone.

Ji Taichang nodded slightly, scanning the many Cultivators in the capital: "Has everyone arrived?"

Emperor Jingxuan shook his head: "Although you have taken action to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, there are still many Nascent Soul Stage experts on their way. Only about half of the Great Wu Dynasty's Nascent Soul Stage experts have gathered in the capital, totaling twenty-five people."

Ji Taichang thought for a moment and said: "That should be enough. Let the remaining Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators stay in various parts of the Great Wu Dynasty to prevent evil Cultivators from other dynasties from taking the opportunity to attack."

"Everyone, follow me to the Great Zhou Dynasty capital!"

At Ji Taichang's command.

Emperor Jingxuan immediately summoned a massive steel warship, thousands of feet long, as imposing as a floating island, giving off a terrifying sense of oppression.

The many Cultivators boarded the warship, which started with a rumble and headed toward the Great Zhou Dynasty capital.

It was not just the Great Wu Dynasty.

After receiving the message from the Great Zhou Emperor, many dynasties, though skeptical, also sent a portion of their Nascent Soul Stage experts to the Great Zhou Dynasty capital!

Two and a half hours later.

The warship crossed the vast and boundless distance, and a glorious, imposing ancient city appeared ahead, brightly lit and bustling with many gathered Cultivators, far more prosperous and lively than the Great Wu Dynasty capital.

This was the Great Zhou Dynasty capital!

At this moment, the Great Zhou Dynasty capital was covered by a massive Formation, the ground covered in dense Formation patterns, with countless golden runes branded into the Void Realm, emitting rich Dragon Qi, transforming into phantoms of divine Dragons and Phoenixes circling around.

The aura emitted invisibly actually made Ji Taichang and Ye Yuan feel a palpitation, sensing a significant sense of oppression.

"This Formation...？!"

"How could it appear here..."

Upon seeing the Formation, Yun Qiyao felt her heart jolt, her eyes revealing a look of surprise and complexity.

A squad of guards clad in gold armor rose into the air, and after checking and confirming the identities of Emperor Jingxuan and the others, the steel warship landed in the Great Zhou Dynasty capital.

"It's her?!"

Ji Taichang suddenly raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of surprise.

In the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a figure with an extremely tall and curvaceous figure stepped out slowly, wearing a Phoenix robe, surrounded by rich and powerful Dragon Qi. Although her face was covered by a veil, it still could not hide her peerless temperament!

Although she was not wearing that black mysterious armor, Ji Taichang recognized her identity at a glance from that familiar figure.

It was none other than Lan Huaying!!

"Does my good son-in-law know the Great Zhou Empress Dowager?"

Emperor Jingxuan noticed the change in Ji Taichang's expression and asked somewhat curiously.

Ji Taichang said: "I have had some acquaintance with her, but I did not know before that she was the Great Zhou Empress Dowager."

During the conversation.

Lan Huaying walked over slowly, her gaze passing over the many Cultivators and landing on Ji Taichang, her red lips parting slightly: "Fellow Daoist Ji, please step aside with me for a moment."

Ji Taichang nodded, stepped out, and followed Lan Huaying into a side hall.

"The Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array has already begun to activate, and is constantly refining from the edge of the Land of a Hundred Dynasties toward the center!"

"In at most three days, the entire Land of a Hundred Dynasties will be completely refined by the Black Thorn Cult!"

Lan Huaying got straight to the point, saying with a grave expression: "After I gather enough Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, I will activate the Formation left behind by the Great Zhou Dynasty ancestors to forcibly blast a gap in the Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array and seek help from the Shuiyue Holy Land!"

"At that time, please also send a message to your sect to seek help, Fellow Daoist Ji, otherwise we will all die here!"

"When that happens."

"Once a gap is blasted in the Heaven-Refining Blood Slaughter Array, it will inevitably alarm the Black Thorn Cult experts to come and investigate, and we will have a fierce battle then. I hope Fellow Daoist Ji is prepared."

Ji Taichang keenly caught the main point.

"Seek help from the Shuiyue Holy Land... You come from the Shuiyue Holy Land?!"

Lan Huaying nodded: "At this point, there is nothing to hide about my identity."

"I am a third-generation Disciple under the Holy Lord of Water Moon Holy Land, Lan Huaying!"

"An ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty royal family once walked out of the Ten Million Mountains, joined the Shuiyue Holy Land, and eventually became an Outer Sect Elder of the Shuiyue Holy Land, passing away from old age twenty years ago."

"I was ordered by the Holy Land to send this Elder's remains back to his hometown and to help the already decaying and declining Great Zhou Dynasty rise again."

"Therefore, I claimed to be a concubine of the late emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, styled myself as the Empress Dowager, forcibly took control of the Great Zhou Dynasty's power, and began to reorganize the imperial court and govern state affairs..."

"The current Great Zhou Dynasty is already strong enough, and I had intended to return to the Holy Land to report, but I never expected to encounter such a disaster!"

"Fortunately, among the late Outer Sect Elder's belongings was a Zhou Tian Starry Sky Array, which was originally intended to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it happens to be useful now..."

Lan Huaying's explanation made Ji Taichang's eyes widen slightly, greatly surprised.

"So... you didn't marry?"

Lan Huaying's mouth twitched slightly; she didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Ji Taichang would care about this instead!

She said huffily: "Of course I didn't marry, I don't even have a fiancé!"

"It was just to reasonably control the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty that I styled myself as the Empress Dowager; I have absolutely no relationship with the late emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Ji Taichang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, the System would only prompt for favorability for married women.

Although Lan Huaying was actually a maiden, she had borrowed the identity of the late emperor's concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the identity was fake, it seemed to have been accepted by everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty and treated as real.

So this could be considered turning a fake into reality, and being taken seriously by the System?

"Fellow Daoist Ji, come to think of it, I still don't know which Holy Land you come from."

Lan Huaying stared at Ji Taichang with burning eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.

Ji Taichang's performance during this period was too astonishing, and she evidently also regarded Ji Taichang as a monstrous Prodigy cultivated by some Holy Land!
