When Li Yuanqing, who was also a Martial Saint, appeared, the Sect Master of the Wind Thunder Sect had a grave expression on his face as he personally took the field.
He did not know who the person opposite him was, but he was a formidable opponent to be able to approach them silently and finish off a few peak ninth grade martial artists in less than one move. He knew that he might not even be able to do it.
What was even stranger was that Princess Zhaoyang called him big brother.
The eldest brother of the Royal Princess? And a Martial Saint? Could it be that the Northern Kingdom had a Martial Saint hidden in the dark?
The Northern Kingdom did not care about martial virtues too. They were hiding such an expert?
The Sect Master of the Wind Thunder Sect cursed silently in his heart. However, before he could react, he realized that his body could no longer move. It was as if his entire body had been confined by something and he could not move at all.
The Wind Thunder Sect Master turned pale with fright as terror filled his entire body. Before he could think of a way to escape, he saw a flash of white light.
Li Yuanqing’s Clear Sky Sword struck!
The sword light of the Clear Sky Sword was like the most dazzling star as it slashed down from above. Its speed was so fast that no one could react, including the five Martial Saints surrounding Hu Jiujiu.
Their advancement to Martial Saints was by the Wind Thunder Great Art. They were already much weaker than ordinary Martial Saints. Under Li Yuanqing’s Clear Sky Sword, they were like rotten wood that could not fight back at all.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if the Wind Thunder Sect’s lair had been struck by lightning. The entire mountain was split into two, and the soaring sword beam could be seen from thousands of miles away.
In the Imperial City, Li Huanjun was so shocked that he almost fell off the throne. He only managed to stabilize himself after tightly grabbing onto the support of the throne. However, he was panicking inside. Why was there such a huge commotion in the Northern Kingdom?
This would destabilize the Northern Kingdom.
“Quick, get someone to investigate. What happened? That direction seems to be Kaiyuan City…”
Li Huanjun hurriedly issued a decree to investigate. The Wind Thunder Sect is in Kaiyuan County. The Wind Thunder Sect that he had never dared to make a move against. This time, Zhaoyang had charged forward. He wondered how the situation was.
The Northern Kingdom martial artists who had surrounded the Wind Thunder Sect’s lair stood up and looked up at the stunning sword!
The Clear Sky Sword shone with the might of the heavens. That sword strike had split open the headquarters of the Wind Thunder Sect, splitting open the highest mountain range. Furthermore, the five Martial Saints surrounding Hu Jiujiu were also destroyed by that sword strike!
The Sect Master of the Wind Thunder Sect was like a paper doll at this moment. Although his face was filled with shock, his entire body couldn’t move. The fear in his heart simply made him feel that this was the most terrifying moment of his life.
“Go, kill him!” Li Yuanqing’s last sentence was shouted at Zhaoyang. Since Zhaoyang had killed her way into the headquarters of the Wind Thunder Sect, he would give the head of the Wind Thunder Sect Master to Zhaoyang!
She only needed to strike once!
Zhaoyang glanced at her elder brother. She was not afraid, she only had infinite trust in him.
She rushed forward and thrust her sword towards the Sect Master of the Wind Thunder Sect. At this point, the great trouble of the Northern Kingdom, the Wind Thunder Sect, had finally been eliminated. The Wind Thunder Sect Master had easily died under Princess Zhaoyang’s sword!
By the time Princess Zhaoyang brought the head of the Wind Thunder Sect’s Sect Master down the mountain, the people on the outskirts let out thunderous cheers. Many restless martial artists who were thinking about whether or not to flee for their lives had their eyes turn red when they saw the Princess!
When they looked at Hu Jiujiu, their eyes were filled with reverence. That was because that earth-shattering sword was something that they would never forget. Because other than Hu Jiujiu, they could not guess who it was either.
But in the face of that reverent gaze, Hu Jiujiu shook her head in anger for the first time. The atmosphere became a bit strange. Soon, Princess Zhaoyang expressed that the sword attack just now was from someone else.
It was a Martial Saint and he was stronger. But Zhaoyang refused to give more information.
Li Yuanqing’s sword strike was earth-shattering and unforgettable to everyone in the Northern Kingdom. The Wind Thunder Sect had hidden six Martial Saints so deeply, yet they were still defeated in the end.
Li Zhangqing, who had stabbed out with that sword, became the most mysterious mighty figure in the entire Northern Kingdom.
He split open the headquarters of the Wind Thunder Sect and killed five Martial Saints with one strike!
All the martial artists in the Northern Kingdom had been talking about this sword for many years, even though they did not know that it was Li Yuanqing, the former Crown Prince.
Originally, there were still some undercurrents in the Northern Kingdom. Powerhouses like the Blood Flame Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect were secretly gathering their strength. They wanted to take advantage of the unstable foundation of the Northern Kingdom and replace it!
However, Li Yuanqing’s sword had silenced all the factions who were eager to make a move. Some of them even became low-profile and dispersed, as if they had vanished all of a sudden.
They no longer dared to show their faces in the Northern Kingdom.
In the following period of time, Princess Zhaoyang’s journey was smooth sailing. She brought along a thousand martial artists and swept through the various influences of the Northern Kingdom. Wherever she went, everyone would be docile and obedient. No one dared to have any thoughts of rebelling.
Li Yuanqing’s sword had subdued all the thieves and caused the New Year to be exceptionally peaceful.
During the New Year, Hu Jiujiu took the opportunity to return to the valley once. After paying her respects to Li Yuanqing, she made an excuse and returned to the hinterlands of the Wilderness.
That was because the incident with the Wind Thunder Sect previously had a huge impact on Hu Jiujiu.
At that time, she was helpless against five Martial Saints. It was Li Yuanqing who solved all the troubles with a single sword strike, which made her feel a sense of anger every day.
After returning to the hinterlands of the Wilderness, she knew that the qilin beast had yet to subdue a few beast kings in the hinterlands of the Wilderness.
Hu Jiujiu brought the qilin beast along and went to subdue the beast kings without saying a word. Those who were obedient stayed behind and those who were disobedient were killed immediately. It seemed like this was the only way to make her feel better.
That was how she managed to regain some dignity. That’s what made her feel like she wasn’t such a lousy person.
All the beasts in the hinterlands of the Wilderness suffered. Hu Jiujiu brought the qilin beast with her. Within a few days, they had beaten up almost all the beast kings in the area and forced them to submit to the qilin beast.
Because if they did not submit, they would die!
Li Yuanqing, who had just returned from the Wind Thunder Sect, decided to stay in the Wilderness Valley since it was too dangerous outside.
A small sect like the Wind Thunder Sect might not look impressive, but five or six Martial Saints had appeared all of a sudden. Who knew how many Martial Saints were hidden in the Northern Kingdom?
There probably will be people more powerful than him. If he accidentally ran out and got tricked by someone, he might even lose his life.
Li Yuanqing, who had always been cautious, decided to continue hiding and secretly sign in to accumulate his strength. When he was truly unparalleled in the world and no one could threaten him, he would emerge!
Yes, let’s do that!
After Princess Zhaoyang swept through all the sects and influences within the Northern Kingdom and returned to the Imperial City, His Majesty immediately summoned her!
