In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

A faint voice came from inside the cave.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huangye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, come in with me."

"Remember to pay attention to your makeup next time. How can an empress dress like this? What kind of decorum is this?"

"Besides, this is still an audience with the Imperial Ancestor..."

Zhou Huangye gently reprimanded Zhou Linglong.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linglong felt somewhat embarrassed and awkwardly clutched the hem of her disheveled clothes.

When she learned of her grandfather's accident, she had no time or interest to groom herself.

Zhou Linglong bit her lip lightly and said:

"I understand, Ancestor. I will be more careful next time."

Upon entering the cave, one sees an elderly man dressed in blue robes, who appears to be a Taoist immortal, sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

Upon seeing the old man, Zhou Huangye bowed again:

"Greetings to the Imperial Ancestor."

Zhou Linglong followed suit and bowed again.

Out of curiosity, Zhou Linglong subconsciously looked up and glanced at it.

The next second, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of weathered eyes.

It seems to be able to see through everything, and it seems to be filled with countless nebulae!

The moment Zhou Linglong met the old man's gaze, her mind went completely blank!

Under the old man's watchful eye, Zhou Linglong felt as if she had been stripped naked, with nothing left to hide!

Zhou Linglong immediately got goosebumps all over her body!

Fortunately, the old man quickly withdrew his gaze and said calmly:

"Little girl, you probably don't recognize me."

"I am Zhou Qianfu, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the first emperor of the Great Zhou!"

"Later generations all respectfully addressed me as, Imperial Ancestor!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linglong was deeply shocked!

It turns out that this old man is the legendary founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

But according to records, didn't the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty die long ago?

So he wasn't dead after all!

And now, they're still hiding in the Dragon Court!

After Zhou Qianfu finished speaking, he looked directly at Zhou Huangye beside him.

"Everyone, get up."

"Huangye, what do you want with me?"

Zhou Huangye respectfully clasped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, in the northern region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Prince Lu Yuan of Zhenbei has rebelled. The Emperor has sent troops to suppress him, but all attempts have failed."

"The Sword Inquiry Sect wanted to send a master to help, but Lu Yuan sought revenge, resulting in the annihilation of the entire Sword Inquiry Sect!"

"The Sword Inquiry Sect had two Saints, both of whom died at the hands of Lu Yuan!"

Zhou Huangye told the Emperor Ancestor all the information, down to the smallest detail.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's weathered eyes flickered:

"That patriarch of the Sword Inquiry Sect, if I remember correctly, should be at the peak of Martial Saint, and should be close to the Martial Emperor realm, right?"

"I never imagined that even he would die at the hands of Lu Yuan."

The Emperor was startled.

He was only at the half-emperor level.

It's not so easy to kill a master at the peak of the Ultimate Martial Saint realm!

The Emperor frowned.

After listening to Zhou Huangye's account, even he felt that Lu Yuan was a troublesome character!

"Just who is this Lu Yuan?"

"Moreover, why would they rebel in the first place?"

"Could it be that they covet the throne of the Great Zhou?"

Faced with a series of questions from the Emperor's grandfather, Zhou Linglong's expression changed immediately.

As for why Lu Yuan rebelled... wasn't it because she forced him to?

If she hadn't given Lu Yuan a cup of poisoned wine, intending to kill him...

Perhaps Lu Yuan is still living a carefree life as a prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"I...."

Zhou Linglong stammered, unsure of how to begin.

Seeing Zhou Linglong's appearance, Zhou Huangye and the old man exchanged a glance, their eyes both flashing with a meaningful look.

It seems.

There's a reason for this!

"Linglong, if there's anything you need, just tell us."

"This is no small matter!"

Seeing the two patriarchs looking at her, Zhou Linglong's heart trembled.

With a heavy heart, she recounted everything that had happened.

Hear the words.

The Emperor's face was ashen, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Zhou Linglong kneeling on the ground.

"So, you started this whole mess?"

"Hmph! You're incapable of accomplishing anything, but always capable of causing trouble!"

With a wave of his hand, the Emperor struck Zhou Linglong, causing her to grunt in pain.
