All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Therefore, everyone tried to send as many people as possible to explore, even if there were no ancient treasures, finding some treasures would still be good.

The news first spread from Xuanwu City, initially only within a small circle. Later, a Nascent Soul cultivator predicted that an ancient secret realm was about to appear there, and that's when the news spread far and wide.

As a small country, the Holy Feather Kingdom had virtually no ability to stop this.

We can only let others keep stepping on our land.

More than half a month has passed, and everyone who was supposed to come has come.

It is said that the Xuanwu Secret Realm will open in a month, and everyone is looking forward to it.

As the largest sect on the Xuanling Continent, the Tianxuan Sect naturally received the news early on and made preparations accordingly.

More than two hundred disciples were selected to go to the Xuanwu Secret Realm.

As the Fourth Elder's personal disciple, Feng Ning would naturally know this news, but her current physical condition does not allow it, so she can only give up.

Nian Zhao continued his unwavering search for the Dragon Bone Flower, setting out to find it whenever he heard any news about it.

Even though he was disappointed every time, he never gave up.

He had heard about this, but he didn't take it to heart. His goal this time was to go to the innermost part of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Feng Ning had naturally heard the news as well. She wanted to go, but unfortunately, she didn't have the chance.

Unable to do anything else, she found a cultivation technique for spiritual awareness in her spatial dimension.

Even if your body can't keep up, your mind has to.

Ye Yuan had previously mentioned that her Aotian Sword Technique was quite good, but unfortunately her spiritual sense was too weak to control so many swords.

It's a good time to practice right now.

She practiced for more than half a month before she finally saw some progress.

From feeling dizzy as soon as I started practicing, I can now hold the position for three seconds.

Time flies, and another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

She was excited; her spiritual sense had become stronger, and she could now stay alert for ten seconds without fainting. The range of her spiritual sense's exploration had also expanded to over a hundred miles.

Just as I was lamenting that no one had shared this good news with, Nian Zhao returned.

She spotted it immediately, the magical artifact that had flown to Xiaoyao Peak. "Master! You're back."

She happily opened the door and ran outside. As she ran faster, she felt a tingling and numb sensation all over her body.

However, when she ran up to the flying artifact, she froze.

"Master!"

Nian Zhao, covered in injuries, was brought back unconscious on a flying artifact.

"Master!"

She scrambled onto the flying artifact, ran over, and knelt down in front of him with a thud.

She quickly took out a communication stone, "Elder Yu, please come to Xiaoyao Peak immediately, Master is in trouble, Master is injured."

There was no response from the communication stone for a long time, so she quickly sent a message to the sect leader and Yao Feibai.

The sect leader received the message immediately and replied, "I'm coming right away."

Yao Feibai wasn't in the sect at the moment and wouldn't be able to get there in a while, but he was already on his way back.

Elder Yu arrived even faster than the sect leader.

Upon receiving the message, he rushed back and forth without even having time to reply.

As soon as she rushed in, she shouted, "Ning girl, where is Nian Zhao?"

Feng Ning's face was covered in tears. "Elder Yu, we are here. Master is injured. He is badly injured."

"Let me take a look first."

He ran forward a few steps and began to check, and after a moment he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is the elder? Is Master alright?"

Elder Yu waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright, there's still hope."

While speaking, she took things out of her spatial storage. First, she took out two small bottles, fed him some pills, and then took out another one. "This is medicine for external injuries. You can apply it for him later."

"He's out of danger for now. Let's check on him again when he wakes up."

Feng Ning nodded. "Can we take him back now?"

Elder Yu nodded, took two steps forward and picked the person up, saying, "Let me do it, you haven't fully recovered yourself yet."

The main point is that this girl is like a porcelain doll now, and she can't be hurt. I doubt I could even carry such a big person.

It still has to be this old man.

Without him, Xiaoyao Peak would be lost!

The two settled the person in Nian Zhao's own room before going out to talk.

When they went outside, they found the sect leader waiting there as well.

The two quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Sect Leader."

The sect leader nodded. "How is he now?"

"He's not in immediate danger; we'll have to wait until he wakes up before making any decisions," Elder Yu replied.

The sect leader breathed a sigh of relief. He had arrived long ago, but he didn't dare to disturb Elder Yu's rescue, so he stood obediently at a distance and didn't come forward.

I'm relieved to hear that the person is alright.

He glanced at Feng Ning, then turned to Elder Yu and said, "Then I'll have to leave it to Elder Yu. I'll need you to stay at Xiaoyao Peak for the next couple of days and keep an eye on them. Neither of these two is easy to deal with."

Feng Ning's face was full of worry, and she didn't care what the sect leader was saying.

Elder Yu glanced at the two of them and smiled helplessly, "They are indeed younger."

The sect leader didn't say anything more, and waved his hand, "I have other things to do, so I'll leave this place to you."

After speaking, he left.

The two then stayed on Xiaoyao Peak, waiting for Nian Zhao to wake up.

Feng Ning stayed by the bedside the whole time. Nian Zhao was unconscious for five days and five nights before he finally woke up.

When I woke up, I saw Feng Ning sitting by the window not far away, her arm draped over the windowsill, already asleep.

A gentle breeze would occasionally blow by, whipping her long hair, making it dance in the air and lash against the window sill, making it look as fierce as she did.

She didn't sleep well; her brows were furrowed, as if she were having a nightmare.

Nian Zhao blinked a few times and slowly sat up from the bed.

Realizing that his injuries had healed somewhat, he knew that Elder Yu must have come.

He got off the bed and squatted down in front of Feng Ning.

"You can't even keep a straight dream. Did you dream that you got into trouble and were bullied?"

He reached out and tapped her forehead. "You're such a worry."

He waved his hand to help her sleep more soundly, then picked her up and turned to put her back on the bed.

Just as he put it down, Elder Yu came in.

"Oh, you're awake?"

Nian Zhao turned her head and put her hand to her lips. "Shh, she's asleep. Let's go outside and talk."

Elder Yu smiled, his eyes narrowing, and walked out in a very cooperative manner.

Nian Zhao helped her take off her shoes, covered her with the blanket, and then followed her out.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Elder Yu's mocking gaze. "You really know how to court death. You slept for five days and five nights this time, and your little apprentice stayed up all night watching over you."
