Yun Zhongzi, who was thousands of miles away, paused, then shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it!"

However, the Ju Que Sword was being played with in Zhu Wushuang's hands.

At night, Zhou Wang came and saw Zhu Wushuang playing with the Ju Que Sword, and asked in surprise, "Why is my beloved consort holding that thing?"

Zhu Wushuang smiled, "My King, I saw that this treasure still has some magic power, so I took it to have a look, but found it's nothing more than this. That person does have some skill."

Zhou Wang smiled, "That Daoist is quite unique, and I believed him a little. He said there are demonic creatures in my harem."

A trace of killing intent flashed in Zhu Wushuang's eyes. Your whole family are demonic creatures. What a wicked Chan Sect person, daring to slander my Intercept Sect.

"My King, my sisters and I have also studied the Dao in the mountains since we were young and have learned some skills. Even if there are demons, we can deal with them."

"Oh? My two beloved consorts have such abilities?"

Although Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen looked ugly, their every word and action were deeply in line with Zhou Wang's wishes, especially since the two of them particularly supported Zhou Wang's decrees.

"Of course."

After speaking, Zhu Wushuang raised her hand, and the Ju Que Sword circled in the room before finally landing in her hand.

Zhou Wang looked at Zhu Wushuang in surprise, "Good skill!"

"By the way, Zhou Wang, I've been feeling bored staying in the palace lately. We are originally people of the mountains and fields, and occasionally want to go out. Why don't you come with us, my King? Wouldn't it be wonderful to go hunting and enjoy the spring scenery in the Eastern Suburbs tomorrow?"

Zhou Wang hesitated a little, "It would be good, but I'm busy with government affairs..."

"My King, balance work and rest to achieve longevity."

These words moved Zhou Wang's heart. Indeed, he had been very busy recently. "Alright, let's go then."

The next day, Zhou Wang said that he was going to hunt in the Eastern Suburbs, and the court officials did not stop him, especially Wen Zhong, who agreed with both hands and feet!

"Good! Good! The King is the Human Emperor of the human race. Staying in the palace for a long time is indeed not good. It's very good for your health to go out and move around appropriately!"

Zhou Wang was stunned. In the past, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was so strict that it was impossible for him to go out and play. Why is the Grand Tutor so good now?

He looked at Wen Zhong with emotion, "Teacher, I didn't expect you to say that too!"

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong nodded, looking at the two huge figures behind Zhou Wang, 'Senior Sister, did I say it well?'

'Good, just do it like this in the future.'

'Yes, Senior Sister.'

Wen Zhong looked at Zhou Wang, thinking, Do you think I want to? With these two ancestors here, how dare I say no?

The air in the Eastern Suburbs was refreshing. Zhou Wang was originally sitting in the carriage, but when he arrived at the Eastern Suburbs, he changed to riding a horse. Having not ridden a horse for a long time, Zhou Wang galloped freely.

Zhou Wang came back after riding for a while, looking at Da Ji and the other two sitting on the ground chatting, "Beloved consorts, why aren't you riding horses?"

Da Ji's small face blushed and she said shyly, "I never learned to ride a horse..."

Zhu Wushuang curled her lips, "I'm afraid of crushing the horse to death..."

Xiang Wuchen nodded, "Definitely crushed to death."

Zhou Wang: ...

Right, these two beloved concubines had special builds. Just now, when he gestured, he realized that the horse wasn't even as tall as Zhu Wushuang!

"Your Majesty, walk with me!"

"Alright."

At this moment, Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen suddenly pointed at the desolate mountain and said, "Your Majesty, that mountain is quite extraordinary. Just now, my heart stirred, and I calculated that there are reclusive experts in this mountain."

"Oh? Reclusive experts?"

Zhou Wang looked at the mountain in confusion. It was very desolate. How could there be reclusive immortals?

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it? How about a bet?"

"How to bet?"

"If Your Majesty encounters that reclusive expert in the mountain, you will allow me to ride you as a horse?"

Zhou Wang glanced at Zhu Wushuang, "Beloved concubine, it's not that I don't agree, but if the tens of thousands of common people know that the Human Emperor was crushed to death, they would probably laugh themselves to death..."

"Alright, Your Majesty, go quickly! We'll wait here."

Zhou Wang was confusedly pushed by Zhu Wushuang into the Immortal Mountain, and then sent a signal.

Tongtian was being lectured by Wang Yuan.

"If you don't cultivate properly, people will snatch your things, understand?"

"Because you don't cultivate properly, you won't be able to protect such a large family fortune, understand?"

"If you can't protect the family fortune, you'll be letting me down, understand?"

Tongtian's head was throbbing. Ever since he came back last time, Wang Yuan's mouth hadn't stopped. Do Bao was so annoyed that he didn't even live in the house anymore and ran to the foot of the mountain to live.

Suddenly, Tongtian's eyes lit up, "Uncle! Zhou Wang is here! Quickly open the formation."

Oh??

Wang Yuan nodded, "Cultivate properly."

After speaking, he walked towards the foot of the mountain, and met Do Bao on the way. Do Bao was holding a stone and training, wanting to enter the Innate realm from external skills as soon as possible, but the cultivation of external skills was really difficult.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wang, who was walking up the mountain, said disdainfully, "Although I, the king, don't understand cultivators, how could any cultivator cultivate in this godforsaken place?"

"Open!"

Wang Yuan's mind moved, and the formation opened. The originally disdainful Zhou Wang was instantly dumbfounded.

Overhead, cloud cranes and colorful phoenixes flew together, immortal deer drank water by the stream, green grass was lush, and spiritual energy surrounded the area.

"This... there is such a wonderful place in the world?"

Zhou Wang stared blankly at his surroundings.

"Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?" Suddenly, a clear voice came from afar, and then a person came on the green grass.

This is the wondrous effect of the Laws of Nature. Wherever Wang Yuan walks, a tuft of green grass will rise beneath his feet to support him, making it much easier than walking.

He is not a cultivator, so naturally he doesn't understand things like avoiding the three lights. Even if Zhou Wang is a mortal, he uses the Laws without any restraint.

Zhou Wang looked at Wang Yuan in surprise. The newcomer was unrestrained and free, like an immortal.

"The current Human Emperor greets the immortal." He greeted Wang Yuan with neither arrogance nor humility.

Human Emperor?

Wang Yuan blinked, understanding in his heart. Before the Shang dynasty, they were all Human Emperors. Only the Ji Clan of the Zhou dynasty, father and son, betrayed the human race, kowtowing to the immortals. Otherwise, the status of the human race would be the same as that of the immortals.

"It's been a long journey for the Human Emperor, and I haven't welcomed you properly. Come, let's gather in my garden."

After speaking, he pointed a finger, and two small trees immediately lifted Zhou Wang up, and then followed Wang Yuan up the mountain.

Along the way, although Zhou Wang was shocked in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

"We're here."

Wang Yuan brought him to the small courtyard. Zhou Wang found that there were several other people in the courtyard: a thin man knocking himself on the head with a stone, a young man drinking tea, and three peerlessly beautiful women.

"Immortal Master... I have come here rashly, please forgive me."

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Wang Yuan sized up Zhou Wang. This is a famous historical figure, known for things like burning pillars and pools of wine and forests of meat.

But no matter how he looked at Zhou Wang, he didn't seem like that kind of person. Could it be that the stories are wrong?

Thinking of this, Wang Yuan said, "What does the Human Emperor think of the current situation?"

"The current situation?"

Zhou Wang looked at Wang Yuan in confusion.

"Speak freely."

"The feudal lords rule separately, the rites and laws are not distinct, the world is unstable, and the people suffer."

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up, secretly praising his talent!

"Slaves have great talents, but they are neglected, and the rites and laws of the feudal lords are actually powerful rights."

"The sacrifices to immortals and gods are a waste of money and manpower."

After these few sentences, Wang Yuan understood everything.

Zhou Wang! The most wronged emperor of all time!
