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

Nian Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Never sleep a wink? Wasn't she sleeping soundly just now?"

Elder Yu rolled his eyes in anger, "She has no cultivation now, she's just an ordinary person. She's been guarding you for five whole days, and you're still not satisfied? Don't you have a heart? If you don't like it, give this disciple to me."

Nian Zhao snorted lightly, "Hmph! You wish!"

He then walked to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down with an arrogant expression.

Elder Yu followed and sat down opposite him.

“You’re still not happy when I talk to you. You didn’t see it, the little girl’s eyes are bloodshot from staying up all night, and I can’t persuade her to stay calm.”

“I’m not unhappy, you old man, you talk too much.”

Elder Yu chuckled, "Heh, it's not that I have to say this, I just hope you can cherish the person in front of you."

Nian Zhao waved her hand, "You're getting all worked up just because I said you're fat. I just woke up, so stop talking so much, it's giving me a headache."

After saying that, he lowered his head and poured a cup of tea for each of them, then pushed it in front of him.

Elder Yu didn't say anything more and asked about other things, "Tell me, what important business did you go on this time? Didn't you say you were going to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts? How did you get so injured? Who hurt you?"

The moment Nian Zhao thought of this, his entire demeanor changed, and his eyes were filled with rage.

"It all started when I received the news that there were dragon bone flowers in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. After receiving the news, I didn't think too much about it and went straight to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. I thought that even if I couldn't find them, at least I could protect myself. But I didn't expect to run into a group of people there."

"People? They hurt you?"

"Yes, they were in the inner perimeter of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, which was close to the center. They were seriously injured and being chased by a group of fifth-tier demonic beasts, so I helped them out."

"You saved them, and they repaid kindness with enmity by injuring you?" Elder Yu was stunned.

What kind of ungrateful scene is this?

Nian Zhao was furious. "That's right! I helped them escape danger, and I even killed the king of those monsters. In the end, they just wanted to take the monster's core and kill me to steal it."

"These shameless bastards! Do you know who they are? Can you really swallow this insult?"

"Of course I can't swallow it! We had already run away, but they took advantage of my unpreparedness to stab me with their sword and seriously injured me in order to seize the demon core. If I hadn't been lucky, I probably would have died at the hands of those demon beasts. Do you think I would care about their feelings?"

Elder Yu grew increasingly angry as he listened, "Who exactly is it?"

"I remember the Thunderbolt Sect, the sect leader's daughter, the four elders, and the two disciples very clearly."

"It's good that you know who did it. Don't worry, with the sect leader here, even if you wipe out the entire Thunderbolt Sect, no one will say anything."

Nian Zhao gritted her teeth in anger, "I really want to wipe out that damned sect right now!"

Just then, a question came from outside the door, "What sect are you talking about?"

The two turned around and saw the sect leader walk in.

"metropolitan."

"Senior brother."

The two greeted each other, and the sect leader gestured for them to sit down.

"Everyone, take a seat."

After they both sat down, he asked again, "What sects were you talking about just now?"

Nian Zhao then recounted what had just happened, and the sect leader, upon hearing it, laughed in exasperation.

"Thunderbolt Sect? It's just a third-rate sect, yet it dares to challenge the Heavenly Profound Sect? Are they tired of living?"

Elder Yu asked, "Sect Master, what do you think we should do about this? We can't just let Nian Zhao suffer this loss, can we?"

Nian Zhao also looked furious. "Senior brother, I will not let this matter rest."

The sect leader glanced at him and said, "You should really reflect on yourself. Don't believe everything you hear. Dragon Bone Flowers are hard to find, how can you expect to find them just like that? With you taking risks time and time again, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be set up by someone."

Nian Zhao didn't quite agree, but ultimately didn't refute it.

The sect leader could tell from his defiant look that he didn't take it seriously. "Don't take my words lightly. If something really happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Master?"

Nian Zhao could only mutter, "I understand, senior brother."

"Good to know. You don't need to worry about the rest. I will seek an explanation from the Thunderbolt Sect. You should rest and recuperate for a while."

"Senior brother!" Nian Zhao hurriedly interrupted, "This matter concerns me, and I want to get involved. I must avenge this personally!"

“Okay, then I’ll wait until you’ve recovered from your injuries, and then I’ll personally lead you to fight back.”

Nian Zhao finally smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The sect leader rolled his eyes at him. "I'm your senior brother. What's there to thank me for? If you really want to thank me, then protect yourself and don't get yourself all injured."

As he spoke, he turned to look around, "Where's Feng Ning?"

The topic suddenly shifted, and Nian Zhao hadn't even had a chance to react.

Elder Yu reacted quickly, "That girl has been exhausted for several days and just fell asleep."

The sect leader looked at Nian Zhao with surprise, "In your room?"

Nian Zhao was completely unaware. "Yes, so what?"

The sect leader's expression was complicated, "You..."

Nian Zhao looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "Just say what you have to say. Why are you two acting so strangely today?"

The sect leader turned to look at Elder Yu, and as their eyes met, they seemed to understand each other's meaning.

Suddenly, I didn't know how to continue.

The sect leader then brought up another matter, "The Xuanwu Secret Realm is about to open. You should prepare yourself. If you have the chance to go in, you might be able to find the Dragon Bone Flower."

"Does Senior Brother mean there might be something inside?"

"It's just a guess. The dragons have long been extinct. If there are any remains, they can probably only be found in ancient secret realms like this. Instead of wandering around outside like a headless fly, you might as well go in and try your luck."

Nian Zhao pondered for a moment and found it to be very reasonable. "Okay, I understand. I will go then."

The sect leader nodded. "Many people are going this time. Although we don't know what restrictions the Xuanwu Secret Realm has, we think everyone is looking forward to it. It's highly likely that they won't let those powerful figures in. There will probably be an age restriction. We'll only know for sure when we go to Xuanwu City and meet people from other forces."

"Are you preparing to depart?" Elder Yu asked.

The sect leader nodded. "It's time to set off. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can settle this matter."

Elder Yu looked at Nian Zhao and said, "Fourth Elder, you should wear a mask. Go as a disciple of the sect. You are young and won't attract attention."

"it is good."

After saying this, the sect leader got up and left Xiaoyao Peak.
