He really didn't expect that the truth would be like this …

Chu Xiao frowned.

The Ghost Reflection Pill lived up to its reputation! After consuming it, he examined his fleshly body and swiftly found the remaining poison! As for the residual poison, it was hidden extremely well. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have exploded at a certain moment, giving Chu Xiao a fatal blow! But now, they had been completely exposed, and were naturally resolved by Chu Xiao!

At the same time, by comparing the poison in his previous self's memory, Chu Xiao finally determined the cause of death of his previous self: Thousand Crane Poison!

This poison was strange. It had long since been lost during the great destruction. Only a few fragments remained. All of them had been taken by a powerful force! In other words, the only power in this world that could recreate this poison was that great power!

Great Zhou Empire...

Chu Xiao muttered, his eyes turning sharp!

It is well-known.

The structure of East Continent, was said by the four nations! A sect, naturally referred to the first sect in East Continent, which also referred to the Haotian Sect where my previous self resided! As for the four great nations, they were the four great nations that made up the top four! Every single one of them had more than a thousand years of history. They had a deep foundation, a large population, and even if they were strong like the Haotian Sect, they would still not be looked down upon!

Amongst them, the Four Great Empires have the longest history, the strongest strength, and the widest territories, which are known only for their Great Zhou Empire! It was ranked number one among the four nations, and had produced quite a few heaven's pride level experts in the past few years.

If they colluded with the people from the sect to poison me … This matter was going to be troublesome!

Chu Xiao's frown deepened. He originally thought that the death of his previous self was only an internal conflict within the sect, but now it seems that there was probably a huge conspiracy behind it!

He had to uncover the mastermind! Otherwise, the Great Zhou Empire would use that fellow sooner or later to subvert the Haotian Sect!

Chu Xiao was very clear that a large part of the reason for his current glory, including his deterrence from Bai Family, his courtesy to Gu Yun, and so on, was because he was leaning on his Haotian Sect. The consequences would be unimaginable!

I don't want to be like those tragic protagonists, bearing the grudge of extermination, being chased every day, being forced to become strong!

Chu Xiao curled his lips, he was already tired of seeing such a line between the main character and himself.

Therefore, Haotian Sect could not be overturned! But the question was, how was he going to find out who was behind this?

Wu, let me think, within the sect, there are already Murong Shi Shi Nu s helping us search for clues, there's no need for me to worry about it.

This thought very naturally appeared. Chu Xiao kowtowed as he began to recall all the information he had regarding Great Zhou Empire.

In the memories, there was a secret organization in the Great Zhou Empire, the "Thousand Poisons Palace", that was responsible for the recovery of terrifying poisons from the Primordial Era! At the same time, this organization was not under anyone's jurisdiction and was directly responsible to the royal family!

However, there were many descendants in King Of the Great Zhou today, and adding the number of brothers and uncles he had, there were a total of seventy-two royal family members, including himself.

Chu Xiao took out a pen and paper, wrote down each of their names, then ticked off all the impossible names.

This was because the Thousand Poison Hall wasn't something that a mediocre person could control. The number of royal members who possessed such abilities could be counted on one hand!

In the end, Chu Xiao left behind four names. These four people, could all be related to the ghost in Haotian Sect, and have poisoned their predecessors.

They were: King Of the Great Zhou himself, Great Zhou Iron Emperor Uncle, Great Zhou Prince Ji Bai, Great Zhou Princess Ji Ningshuang!

Amongst the four of them, Chu Xiao had never interacted with the last three, and had only heard some rumors, but he had a very deep impression of the final person, Princess Ji Ningshuang!

That was three years ago.

His previous self had coincidentally met Ji Ningshuang. At that time, the two of them did not know each other's identities, but his previous self was loyal, and seeing Ji Ningshuang, a weak girl, being surrounded and killed by a group of assassins, the two of them spoke nothing and stood up to help each other!

After that, in order to save her, her previous self nearly lost its life!

It was not easy to get rid of the pursuers, but Ji Ningshuang did not say a single word of thanks. She only threw down the hundred taels of silver and told Chu Xiao: This is considered repaying him for his kindness! In the future, they wouldn't be able to face each other. If anything happens, don't come looking for her!

Her tone of voice sounded as though she was afraid that Chu Xiao would rely on her for her life after knowing her identity!

Chu Xiao still clearly remembered what the woman said at that time!

My status is extremely noble, far beyond what you can imagine! So, you better recognize the reality, don't think that you can be related to me in the future! This is good for all of us!

Thus, just like that, a hundred taels of silver became a problem! Any more, you are not worthy!

Such self-righteous words would make anyone who heard them angry! His previous self was a heaven's pride level expert of Haotian Sect, so it was even more impossible for him to accept such humiliation! However, his previous self had great self-control, and he couldn't afford to add insult to injury to the fallen woman, so he thought he saved the wrong dog. Without saying anything further, he turned around and left!

After that, they never saw each other again.

Three years had passed and his previous self had improved swiftly, passed through the five trials and six generals, seized the position of Haotian Sect's chief disciple, and was publicly acknowledged as the number one heaven's pride expert. Not only did his cultivation level change with each passing day, he had also created many terrifying battle records, and was known as the most talented person in the history of the Great Zhou Imperial Family!

There were even quite a few people who listed her and Chu Xiao as the two East Continent talents in private!

What was worth mentioning was that his previous self was able to have the status that he currently had. It was all thanks to his constant unremitting efforts and hard work in cultivation! However, Ji Ningshuang's rise was not exactly like that. If he had to say it, at least eighty percent of it was due to the contribution of a man!

According to rumours, the Ji Ningshuang from three years ago did not have much talent, but a young heaven's pride level expert fell in love with her at first sight.

He also heard that there was a young swordsman ranked in the top ten who initially loved swords more than women. However, when she saw Ji Ningshuang, he immediately offered her sword as a gift and became her bodyguard.

These three years, countless men surrounded Ji Ningshuang and offered up heaven and earth treasures as a gift to her. They wanted to dig out their hearts to offer them to her!

Everyone was talking about how Princess Ning Shuang was getting more and more beautiful and cold, like a fairy who didn't care about the mortal world. Although men never had nice faces, none of them weren't attracted to her after meeting her!

Be it the son of heaven or a famous senior, all of you will give your all for her when you see her!" What was even more outrageous was that they did not even ask for anything in return. Even if Ji Ningshuang only nodded at them, they would still think that it was a great reward, and would then desperately sacrifice themselves!

However, Ji Ningshuang still hasn't married anyone, could it be because she looked down on the men by her side from the bottom of her heart?

This...

When Chu Xiao thought back to this point, his body suddenly shook. Could it be that this Ji Ningshuang, was actually a 'girl of destiny'?
