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

Feng Ning looked dejected. "Master, do you believe I can create a teleportation array, or do you believe I am the master of the Xuanling Continent?"

Nian Zhao said in a serious tone, "I believe you can research and develop a teleportation array."

The sect leader, too lazy to watch the two of them fooling around, simply waved his hand, sending them flying. "Go back and think it over yourselves. You should figure out what you want to do."

The two were shoved out the door, and Nian Zhao quickly reached out to support Feng Ning.

As soon as they stood still, they both secretly made a face at the inside.

Nian Zhao immediately dropped his nonchalant attitude and looked at her seriously, saying, "Ning'er, I think you can give it a try. What if you succeed? Then we won't have to wait here to die, and we can continue to cultivate on the advanced continent."

Feng Ning looked at him very seriously, "Master, let me ask you, in ancient times, could anyone create an array that connects high-level continents?"

“I don’t know.” Nian Zhao shook his head, but looked at Feng Ning with a very firm gaze. “I don’t know if anyone can do it. I only know that you are not an ordinary person. In this world, apart from me, I have never seen anyone with dual spiritual roots, nor have I ever seen anyone who can form an array with bare hands, and I have never seen anyone who can take out seven swords from the Sword Tomb. Ning’er, you have never been an ordinary person. You should believe in yourself.”

Feng Ning's pupils shrank, and she froze on the spot.

So... Master knew?

With that thought in mind, she blurted out, "You knew I had other spiritual roots?"

Nian Zhao sneered, "What? If I don't tell you, are you not going to tell me?"

Feng Ning felt a little guilty, her eyes darting around, and she didn't answer.

He continued, "Although I don't know what your hidden spiritual root is, I'm sure you have more than one. The fact that you can use the ice element means you have an even better spiritual root hidden inside."

He approached step by step, until they were only a step apart, then he stopped and asked in a low voice, "Is that right?"

When Feng Ning saw that he had asked, she readily admitted, "Wind element."

She can only unleash the wind element now; as for the dark element, that's her last trump card, and she will absolutely not tell anyone about it.

She doesn't even believe herself, and is afraid that she might reveal it in her dreams, so how could she easily believe others?

As for Ye Yuan...

That person was an exception; he knew about it even earlier than I did, so he's not included.

Nian Zhao took a step back, her smile deepening. "I knew it. You were hiding something."

Feng Ning smiled ingratiatingly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I haven't mastered the ice element yet."

Nian Zhao was speechless. "Also, did you really only take seven swords out of the Sword Tomb back then?"

Feng Ning almost couldn't hold back anymore.

How come he knows everything?

When exactly were these secrets revealed? Did she inadvertently let others discover so much?

She looked at Nian Zhao with suspicion. "Did you plant a surveillance camera on me? How do you know everything?"

Hearing her words, Nian Zhao was startled, but quickly became serious again. "I am your master, how could I do such a thing? Don't think nonsense."

She still smiled and said, "Oh, I was just joking. You're so smart and resourceful to know all this; you figured it out yourself. Is that alright now?"

Nian Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then tell me honestly, did you really hide a sword?"

Feng Ning peeked inside furtively and whispered, "Let's go back and talk."

Nian Zhao was almost laughing in exasperation. "Isn't it a little too late for you to realize this now?"

She was a little helpless.

Seeing her sneaky behavior, Nian Zhao stopped teasing her and said directly, "Alright, I've set up a soundproof barrier around us. No one can hear us talking, not even my senior brother."

Feng Ning breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go back first, so that the sect leader won't find out and punish me later."

Nian Zhao didn't say anything more, and simply grabbed the person by the back of the collar and took him back to Xiaoyao Peak.

The two sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard, and then he said, "Now that you're safe, tell me the truth."

Feng Ning took the Lu Mo Blade out of her spatial storage. Nian Zhao examined it for a long time, but for a moment, she couldn't recognize it.

"This is?"

"The exposed blade is a soft sword, which uses softness to overcome hardness, making it impossible to defend against."

It was only upon hearing the name that Nian Zhao remembered, "This is Lu Mo Ren?"

He picked it up and looked at it, then nodded. "It really is the Lu Mo Blade. This sword is one of the top three swords on the Spirit Sword Ranking."

Feng Ning chuckled and sheathed the sword. "It is quite powerful, but I don't find it very convenient to use."

She hesitated for a moment, but still took out the Sparrow Tower.

As soon as the Sparrow Tower appeared, Nian Zhao's Qingfeng Sword trembled immediately and flew uncontrollably to Nian Zhao's side, full of vigilance.

Nian Zhao grabbed Qingfeng, and after seeing the appearance of the Sparrow Tower, he was instantly shocked.

"The Sparrow Tower?!" He immediately set up a barrier to isolate the Sparrow Tower inside.

"You! How did you bring it out?"

Seeing that his expression was a little off, Feng Ning asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Nian Zhao pulled her back a step, "Do you know it's the Sparrow Tower? It's an evil sword! Have you recognized its master?"

Feng Ning looked at him, then at the Sparrow Tower, "It has recognized its master. I didn't see anything evil about it."

"By the time you figure it out, you'll be long dead." Nian Zhao was so angry she just wanted to curse.

Feng Ning quickly interrupted him, "Wait, wait, wait, what's going on? How did it become an evil sword? I didn't know that. Apart from being a little poisonous when used, I didn't find anything evil about it."

Seeing her like this, Nian Zhao frowned. "Have you noticed any discomfort in your body?"

Feng Ning turned around and said, "No."

Then, curiously, he asked, "Isn't it perfectly normal? Why call it the Evil Sword?"

"A sword is formed from the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and should naturally possess an air of pride. But look at this one, it's covered in poison and emitting black smoke. Where is the resemblance of a sword at all?"

Feng Ning rolled her eyes. "Master, why are you judging a sword by its appearance? It's just a little scary-looking, so how does that make it an evil sword? The poison on it can even help me fight. I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"No! We can't use this sword anymore. Either put it away or return it to the sword tomb."

As soon as he finished speaking, Que Lou emitted a trembling buzzing sound.

Feng Ning quickly turned her head, "Quick, quick, open it, I can always put it back."
