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

In just a moment, several figures rushed out from inside.

The group faced off in mid-air.

"Who goes there? How dare you spout such nonsense at my Thunderbolt Sect?"

Nian Zhao glanced at the person opposite him and said, "Who are you? Call your sect leader out, or don't blame me for unleashing a massacre."

"You can speak to this elder if you want. You are not worthy to see our sect leader."

Nian Zhao gave a strange smile. "Is that so?"

Feng Ning and Yao Feibai exchanged a glance and took a step back in tacit agreement.

The next moment, Nian Zhao had already drawn the Qingfeng Sword.

"Then I'll show you whether I'm worthy or not."

He waved his long sleeves, and his Qingfeng sword twirled beautifully.

The elder opposite him maintained a composed demeanor, but he was also somewhat flustered inside. Just who was this person in front of him?

His cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, but he doesn't look very old. Where did this person come from?

"Freedom...Sword Intent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingfeng Sword, carrying a chilling sword intent, charged towards the elder opposite him.

The elder was shocked and hurriedly activated his defensive shield to block the attack.

However, the defensive shield only withstood this one attack before shattering.

"Sword intent! You actually comprehended sword intent!"

There are not many people in this world who have comprehended the essence of swordsmanship, and the essence of the carefree swordsmanship is even rarer.

Could it be him? !

He became flustered. "Who exactly are you?"

Feng Ning tilted her chin up and looked across at the other side. "Guess."

He didn't even dare to say the name out loud. It would be fine if he didn't make it clear, but once he did, how would he handle the situation?

Why would the elders of the Tianxuan Sect attack the Thunderbolt Sect?

But for now, it's best to let things rest and investigate further later.

He composed himself and said, "No matter who you are, leave immediately. If you want to cause trouble here, I can simply pretend this never happened. But if you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite."

"How do you intend to be impolite?"

The Qingfeng sword in his hand emitted a buzzing sound, as if asking, "How do you intend to be impolite?"

The elder was somewhat speechless. He racked his brains for a few moments but couldn't come up with a solution.

Before he could speak, someone next to him spoke up.

"Third Elder, why waste your breath on them? Just kill them! They dare to come to the Thunderbolt Sect to cause trouble? They're tired of living!"

The Third Elder was startled and looked at the outer sect elder beside him, "Shut up!"

The outer sect elder was suddenly reprimanded, and his eyes were full of confusion.

What did he do? Why are you scolding him?

Wasn't he protecting his own sect? Why is the Third Elder helping an outsider instead?

The Third Elder hurriedly looked at the other side and said, "You can leave now. Let's pretend this never happened."

Nian Zhao sneered, "Just pretend it never happened? You Thunderbolt Sect really know how to turn your backs on people."

He gripped his longsword and pointed it directly at the Third Elder, saying, "Go and summon your Thunderbolt Sect's leader and his daughter, or I'll really be impolite."

The Third Elder felt a cold sweat almost pouring down his back. An elder wasn't scary; what was scary was that the Heavenly Profound Sect stood behind him.

Moreover, it is said that the sect leader of Tianxuan Sect is extremely protective of his own, especially his youngest junior brother.

He practically spoiled him rotten, not even as good to his own disciples, showering this junior brother with cultivation resources.

It's easy to imagine that if this elder were to have an accident at the Thunderbolt Sect, the Heavenly Profound Sect would probably wipe out the entire Thunderbolt Sect.

Yes.

In this world, only Nian Zhao, the fourth elder of the Tianxuan Sect, has mastered the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent.

He had already experienced it firsthand; it was indeed the Fourth Elder's sword technique. His carefree sword intent could not possibly be a counterfeit.

So how exactly did the young lady offend this little ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect?

Seeing that he was still stalling for time, Nian Zhao became impatient and shouted directly into the Thunderbolt Gate.

"Listen up, Thunderbolt Sect Master! The four elders of the Heavenly Profound Sect have come to pay their respects. You have ten days to bring your stupid daughter out here. Otherwise, I will have my senior brother come and talk to you."

He then ignored everyone else and turned his head away.

"one."

"two."

"three."

……

"Eight."

By the time the count reached eight, Nian Zhao had already returned to the flying artifact.

Judging from their expressions, they would obviously go back after counting to two more.

A smile played on his lips. "Nine."

Whoosh whoosh.

Three whooshing sounds came, and in the blink of an eye, three figures appeared in front of everyone.

Nian Zhao immediately spotted the man in the center. "You're the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect?"

Nian Zhao did not know the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect, but the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect knew Nian Zhao.

I've seen them a few times at sect conferences, but their Thunderbolt Sect is too low-level to catch Nian Zhao's eye.

The Thunderbolt Sect Master suppressed his anger. "Elder Nian, what brings you here today? Why are you making such a grand show of force, claiming you intend to slaughter the entire Thunderbolt Sect?"

Nian Zhao gestured with his chin toward the person behind him, "Old man, why don't you ask your own daughter? Ask her what she did to me, ask her how she repaid kindness with enmity and tried to kill me."

Upon hearing this, even the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect was stunned.

Turning to her daughter, she looked on in shock. "Qingyan, is this true?"

Qingyan bit her lower lip, her eyes brimming with tears, "Father, I didn't..."

He turned around too late and missed the shock in Qingyan's eyes.

Qingyan's mind was in complete turmoil.

This man is actually an elder of the Tianxuan Sect?!

Judging from the respectful tone his father used in his speech, he probably held a fairly high position.

She really misjudged him.

If she had known that this elder had such a high status and position, she would never have done what she did back then.

Nian Zhao was beautiful and powerful, but in that life-or-death moment, she had no choice but to sacrifice him.

After all, no matter how handsome he is, without any family power behind him, he is not worthy of her, the young lady of the Thunderbolt Sect.

If she had known earlier that he had such an unapproachable background, she should have held onto this man tightly.

Her eyes turned red with anger, and her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

Upon hearing his daughter's words, the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect turned to Nian Zhao and asked, "Elder Nian, is there some misunderstanding about this matter?"

"Misunderstanding? You mean I wronged your daughter?"

After he finished speaking, his expression lost all trace of jest and became serious and indifferent.

"Old man, I'm giving you a chance to handle this yourself, that's giving you face, not so you can take advantage of me, understand?"

The leader of the Thunderbolt Sect immediately had a bad feeling.
