"What!" Wushuang was greatly shocked and lost her composure. For so many years, she had always believed that her father, the emperor, was in secluded cultivation, which was why she handed over the affairs of Dragon Island to the First Elder.
```
```
Sometimes Wushuang also wondered if her father might have been secretly harmed by the First Elder, which was why he hadn't appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, but there was no evidence.
```

Ao Wuzhan patted Wushuang's head and smiled, "Don't be nervous. The emperor is just trapped, and only I and the First Elder know about this. You are the third one."
```
```
He paused and then continued, "When the emperor was trapped years ago, I consulted with the First Elder. He handled the clan's affairs, while I secretly sought a powerful Array Divine Master. Unfortunately, after so many years, I haven't found a suitable one."
