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

Feng Ning gave him a reassuring look, then activated the formation again, and the three of them returned to the main peak.

The sect leader suppressed his excitement and set up several layers of barriers before daring to speak loudly.

"Nephew, was what happened just now what I thought?"

Feng Ning nodded, "It should be."

The sect leader was overjoyed again, and even wanted to shout it out.

It was Nian Zhaolue's somewhat doubtful question that interrupted his thoughts.

"What kind of riddles are you playing? Can't you just speak properly?"

The sect leader rolled his eyes at him, his eyes full of disappointment, "You brat, it's such a waste to give you such a good disciple."

Nian Zhao looked at Feng Ning, then at the sect leader, and finally smiled, "My disciple is of course the best, but don't be too envious, and don't even think about taking her away."

The sect leader was speechless. "You can go back now. Feng Ning stays here. I'll take her to see someone."

Nian Zhao's eyes widened immediately. "You really want to steal my apprentice?"

"I'd like to."

Upon hearing this, Nian Zhao was immediately unwilling. "No way! Who are you going to see? I'm going too."

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going to keep an eye on you. Don't even think about taking my apprentice away from me."

The sect leader was speechless.

Feng Ning smiled and said, "Sect Master, it's fine to bring Master along. He already knows everything he needs to know anyway."

Seeing his expression, the sect leader reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, let's go together then, but you have to promise not to cause trouble, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Nian Zhao pouted, "Don't treat me like a child. I have apprentices."

The sect leader, considering that his disciple was still there, ultimately gave him face and didn't say anything more.

After the three finished speaking, the sect leader took the lead and went to the back mountain.

This was Feng Ning's second time visiting the back mountain. The last time, Nian Zhao led them to the place where the Supreme Ancestor was in seclusion.

This time, the sect leader led us to a main hall.

The buildings here are even more magnificent and imposing than the main hall on the front mountain.

As soon as she entered, she felt a powerful divine sense sweep over her.

She subconsciously protected her sea of ​​consciousness.

Nian Zhao quickly stepped in front of Feng Ning, "Elders, this is my disciple, Feng Ning, a direct disciple of Xiaoyao Peak."

In the main hall, an aged voice came from within, “Personal disciple? If you are a personal disciple, why are you so careful? If you can’t even pass this little test, what qualifications do you have to become a personal disciple?”

“The disciples these days are getting worse and worse; even this kind of scum has been brought here.”

"She's just a little girl, and you're treating her like a treasure."

"His cultivation level is only at the sixth stage of the Golden Core realm. It seems his talent isn't very good either."

"You guys really accept just anyone."

Feng Ning found the sarcastic remarks particularly grating.

Seeing Nian Zhao's angry but speechless expression only fueled his frustration.

Her eyes darted around, and a plan formed in her mind.

She stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, esteemed ancestors. This disciple is Feng Ning, just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator."

The sect leader's expression was somewhat complicated. These were all ancestors, and he had to endure their mistreatment. How could he possibly stand up for her?

"Feng Ning, don't be rude."

Feng Ning gave him a reassuring look.

He then continued, "Although I have a rare ice spirit root, I am just a minor golden core cultivator."

The crowd was in an uproar.

After hearing the whispers, she continued, "Although I am only a third-tier array master, I am just a little girl."

Sure enough, the discussion grew even louder.

She didn't give them a chance to speak and continued, "Even if I develop a teleportation array that can connect to higher-level continents, I'm still only fifteen years old."

Suddenly, a large number of people appeared in front of them.

Feng Ning took a few steps back. "Alas... I still can't meet the standards of all the patriarchs. Since that's the case, I suppose you patriarchs wouldn't even look at my skills. Then this disciple will take my leave."

With that, he turned and left without hesitation.

However, just as she took two steps, an immense pressure came toward her.

The man's imposing manner made Feng Ning highly suspect that he intended to kill her.

She was pressed to the ground, but she still smiled, "I wonder which ancestor gave me such a great gift."

The man's voice was authoritative, "You are not worthy to know my name, little brat, you are too arrogant."

Feng Ning forced herself to turn over and lay on the ground, her face covered in blood.

After turning around, she also saw the scene inside the main hall.

The sect leader and Nian Zhao were both under their control and could not move at all.

Feng Ning saw regret in the sect leader's eyes.

Nian Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was about to fight to the death. He was breaking free from his confinement in a self-destructive way.

A cold glint flashed in Feng Ning's eyes.

"Everyone, if you want me to do something, you'd better show some sincerity. I'll say it three times: restore my senior uncle and master to their original state. Otherwise, you can forget about ever ascending to the higher continents in this lifetime. Just keep waiting to die."

She ignored the insults from others and continued counting to herself.

"one."

"two."

Before the number of three could be counted, the sect leader and Nian Zhao's restraints had already been lifted.

Feng Ning sneered, "Restore it to its original state."

She could almost hear the sound of teeth clenching.

Their spiritual energy was instantly restored, and they were completely unharmed, even their clothes were clean.

Feng Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief. Nian Zhao rushed over, helped her up, and let her lean on him while he continuously channeled spiritual energy into her.

Feng Ning grabbed his arm, but Nian Zhao still didn't stop.

Feng Ning was too weak to speak.

Master, you healed me so quickly, how am I supposed to act now?

Perhaps it was the intense resentment in her expression that made the sect leader understand his meaning.

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nian Zhao, shaking his head at him.

Nian Zhao was no longer listening to anyone else; she was only focused on channeling spiritual energy into Feng Ning, her eyes only on Feng Ning.

Seeing him like this, the sect leader had no choice but to knock him unconscious.

Feng Ning looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle-Master."

The sect leader gave her a reassuring look and stepped aside.

He realized that only Feng Ning could handle these ungrateful old fools.

Feng Ning did indeed want to get it treated.

She forced herself to sit up, then sat cross-legged on the floor, looking at the old men who filled the seats above her.

She just watched without saying a word.

The old men at the head of the table couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly asked.

"Are you really capable of creating a teleportation array?"

Feng Ning glanced at him; she recognized the voice—the one that had just cursed at her.

"Of course, the sect leader saw it with his own eyes."

The man's eyes lit up with delight. "You really know how to get to the higher continents?"
