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

"Elder..."

Nian Zhao raised her hand to interrupt him, "She knows the truth of the matter perfectly well. I'm here for revenge, not to help you solve cases, and I have no interest in playing this kind of game with you. If you know what's good for you, you can handle it yourself. If you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands."

After saying that, his eyes grew even colder, "Or... do you want to see the strength of our Heavenly Profound Sect's Candle Dragon Garden?"

Upon hearing the words "Candle Dragon Garden," the Thunderbolt Sect Master's face paled. He immediately changed his tune and looked at Nian Zhao respectfully.

"Elder, please calm down. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. I would never dare to let the people of Zhulong Garden take action."

The others were also terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat, and dared not utter a single word.

Nian Zhao didn't speak, just stared at them without saying a word.

The Thunderbolt Sect Master didn't hear his reply. He hardened his heart and pulled Qingyan behind him. "You wicked girl! Confess now! Do you want to kill the entire Thunderbolt Sect?"

Qingyan looked at her father in disbelief. "Father! I am your daughter! How could you treat me like this? Why don't you believe me?"

"shut up!"

He then kicked the person, sending them flying a considerable distance.

They grabbed the person again and forced them to kneel on the ground.

"Elder Nian, I'm leaving this person to you to handle. Do whatever you want with her. Please don't take your anger out on the entire Thunderbolt Sect. Let her bear this responsibility herself."

Qingyan looked panicked. "Father, I don't want to! Don't hand me over to him, he'll kill me."

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow and looked over. "Why would he kill you? Weren't you just acting like you were being wronged? Why do you feel like you're going to be killed now? Did you do something to offend him that makes you think you'll die a horrible death if you fall into his hands?"

Qingyan looked up and saw Feng Ning standing behind Nian Zhao.

She glared fiercely at him, but her expression froze for a moment.

However, her glance infuriated Nian Zhao.

Nian Zhao blocked her view and struck her with a palm, knocking her to the ground and causing her to spit out a large mouthful of blood.

Qingyan forced herself to sit up, her face full of disbelief.

"You! You actually hit me?"

Then, pointing at Feng Ning, he said, "You hit me because of this little bitch?"

Feng Ning rolled her eyes speechlessly, deciding not to argue with such a brainless person.

She didn't want to hold a grudge, but Nian Zhao wouldn't have it.

He used his spiritual power to pinch her chin, and with a swift stroke of his longsword, he cut off her tongue, leaving two long gashes on the corners of her mouth as well.

This left everyone speechless.

Weren't we just trying to negotiate? How did you suddenly become so ruthless?

Qingyan's tongue was cut off, and the pain almost made her faint.

Yao Feibai calmly flicked a pill into her mouth.

Nian Zhao turned to look over.

He calmly said, "It's not a good pill, it just allows her to clearly feel ten times the pain without fainting."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"You little rascal, you have such a vicious heart!"

Yao Feibai sneered, "Of course, they can't compare to the people of your Thunderbolt Sect. As the sect leader, you can't distinguish right from wrong and let your daughter commit murder. As the young lady of the Thunderbolt Sect, you have no sense of responsibility and disregard human life. Not to mention your evil elders who commit murder everywhere. Do you really think no one knows?"

Feng Ning nodded in agreement, "You still have the nerve to call others vicious? Weren't you vicious when you betrayed and killed your own savior?"

The leader of the Thunderbolt Sect was also somewhat annoyed by this scene. "Then tell me, what exactly did she do to provoke you to treat a young woman like this?"

"A young woman?!" Feng Ning stared in shock at the wisps of smoke on the ground. "Old man, are you blind? She's at least eighty years old. You call her a young woman?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Feibai and Nian Zhao both laughed.

"shameless."

"That's shameless."

Nian Zhao pointed to another elder who arrived later, "Don't you want to know why? Ask him, he knows best."

The leader of the Thunderbolt Sect turned to look at the elders behind him, "What exactly is going on?"

The elder was so frightened that his legs went weak the moment he saw Nian Zhao.

This person is actually an elder of the Tianxuan Sect?

Oh no, they're really finished this time. They actually did something so stupid.

This matter is unlikely to end well.

Moreover, given the current situation, if he cannot exonerate himself, the sect leader might pin all the blame on him.

His thoughts raced, and he said resolutely, "Sect Master, it was the young lady. A few days ago, when we went to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, the young lady took a fancy to the demon core of a fifth-tier demon wolf king. We were no match for her and were surrounded and seriously injured by the wolf pack."

"And then what happened?" The leader of the Thunderbolt Sect asked nervously.

What does this have to do with Nian Zhao?

He continued, "At that time, many of us had already died, leaving only me, three elders, and two disciples. Just when we were about to die, he appeared and saved us..."

Hearing this, the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect could roughly guess what happened next.

It's likely that after they escaped danger, they set their sights on the demon core and plotted against Nian Zhao, intending to kill him and steal the treasure.

Unexpectedly, the person survived the ordeal and came back for revenge.

Even more unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the young ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect, someone even the sect leader revered.

Sure enough, what the elder said was similar to what he had thought, except that he hadn't expected their behavior to be even more shameless.

After escaping danger, Nian Zhao originally intended to take his leave, but they took the opportunity of saying goodbye to surround him, and the Second Elder, who was the most powerful, stabbed him in the heart.

Immediately afterwards, the others also made their moves.

One person can't beat Nian Zhao.

Even if a group of people ganged up on him, they might not be able to defeat Nian Zhao.

However, their sudden ambush, coupled with his lack of preparation, ultimately prevented him from withstanding the full force of the attack, and he was seriously injured.

If Nian Zhao hadn't been so strong and wary, this blow would have truly struck him right in the heart.

After hearing this, the leader of the Thunderbolt Sect was so angry that he almost ground his back teeth to powder.

This bunch of good-for-nothings!

If you're going to kill someone to steal their treasure, then do it cleanly and efficiently. Why leave such a potential threat behind?

They didn't even kill anyone, yet they have the nerve to talk about stealing treasure. They're really pathetic.

They've messed with such a powerful figure; now they can't even beg for mercy.

He really wanted to kill these people.
