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

Hongye's expression immediately turned serious. "Half a month has passed and you still haven't come out? Then why are you only telling me now?"

"I never expected her to be inside for half a month."

Hongye was furious. "So many people have gone in before, and they only lasted ten days at most. Your apprentice has been in there for half a month and hasn't come out yet. Didn't you notice anything wrong?"

Nian Zhao was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Senior brother, you can stop scolding me later, hurry up and get the person out first."

Hongye glared at him, then quickly formed a hand seal to open the barrier.

Just as Nian Zhao was about to rush inside, the sect leader pulled him back.

Hongye glared at him. "You stay here. I'll go inside and look for it."

Nian Zhao had no choice but to agree.

After all, each person can only enter the Sword Tomb once, and Hongye is no exception.

He was able to get in only because his cultivation level was just one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul stage, so it wasn't safe for him.

Hongye set up several protective shields on his body and prepared to go inside to find someone.

He hadn't even moved when he sensed movement inside.

Then something flew out, "Ah!!"

Bang!

The two saw something fly behind them, and when they turned around, they saw a person getting up from the ground.

"Bah bah bah!"

Feng Ning got up from the ground and spat out the dirt that had flown into her mouth.

"It's just a few of your swords, why are you being so stingy?"

When Nian Zhao saw that it was Feng Ning who came out, he quickly ran over to check on her, "Little apprentice!"

"Why are you only coming out now? Are you alright? How did you get thrown out? Were you knocked out? Are you hurt?"

Feng Ning got up with her back to them. At this moment, Nian Zhao had already walked up to her. When she saw him, she immediately smiled and showed her white teeth. "Master, you've come to pick me up?"

But his face quickly darkened. "Nian Gao! You actually betrayed me! Am I still your precious disciple? I'm your only heir, and you heartlessly pushed me in here, you black-hearted Nian Gao! Today I'm going to..." betray your master and destroy your ancestors!

Before she could finish speaking, Nian Zhao quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"Go back and we'll talk, go back and we'll talk."

Then, with a fawning expression, he looked behind her and said, "Senior brother, now that my disciple has come out, we'll be leaving now. Thank you for making this trip."

Feng Ning was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Senior brother?

Holy crap, Senior Brother! Isn't that the Sect Master?!

She stiffly turned her head and saw the sect leader's face. She immediately put on a sweet smile.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple greets Sect Master."

His expression showed absolutely no trace of his earlier bluster and threatening action.

Nian Zhao wanted to laugh, but held it in and didn't dare to.

The sect leader nodded, "No need for formalities."

After saying that, he looked her up and down curiously for a couple more times, "Your face..."

He remembered having a scar on his face before.

Nian Zhao quickly stepped forward, "Oh, this is the Muscle Regeneration Pill that I asked Elder Yu of the Pill Academy for."

The sect leader immediately understood, "Alright."

Then he looked at Feng Ning and asked, "How did you fare this time?"

He should at least assess this disciple's character and abilities.

The junior apprentice has always been willful and has refused to take on any disciples for many years. Now that he has finally taken one on, he doesn't want her to be useless.

If one lacks the right mindset and ability, even the greatest talent will be wasted.

Feng Ning thought that this might be a tradition of the sect, and that after they came out, the sect leader would ask which sword they had taken.

She silently took out the first sword she had obtained, "Silver Spirit".

The sect leader's expression softened. "Silver Spirit, I remember it. It was used by a genius female swordsman before. It's a very good sword and suitable for women."

Nian Zhao peeked at the money and asked with a grin, "Tell me honestly, did you only take it because it looked nice?"

Feng Ning chuckled, "Not really."

Then he took out the Shadow Blade from his spatial storage. "Look at this one! Shadow Blade! It looks incredibly imposing!"

After saying that, he flicked the sword.

The shadow immediately emitted a buzzing sound, as if responding to her.

The buzzing sound faintly carried the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, truly exuding an imposing aura.

She patted him soothingly again, "Sweetie! I didn't say you weren't pretty, I was just praising you for being majestic and powerful!"

Only then did the shadowy figure quiet down.

The sect leader and Nian Zhao were both stunned.

Nian Zhao raised his voice and asked, "You took two?!"

Feng Ning answered blankly, "No...you can't take more?"

Ruined!

Are you suggesting that there's a limit on the amount each person can take?

No wonder the Sword Tomb threw her out!

If it were just the master, it would be fine, but now that the sect leader has caught them red-handed, what are they going to do?

If she secretly takes it away, will it be unusable in the future?

She took out a sword that shouldn't be used openly; wouldn't the sect leader punish her for it?

If you're going to punish someone, punish your master. He never told me I could only take one!

The sect leader smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you have the ability, you can take as many as you want."

Feng Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at her guilty expression just now, Nian Zhao was almost certain that this brat hadn't told the truth.

He gritted his teeth, "Are you still hiding something?"

She gave an awkward laugh. "Master, you don't have to be so frank. As your disciple, can't I have some privacy?"

Nian Zhao took a long breath to suppress his anger.

He had never heard of anyone being able to pull out more than one sword from inside.

The only one was because the sword was a pair of swords.

But what does it mean that she suddenly pulled out two different swords?

To attack others?

The sect leader's smile deepened. "It's alright, take them out. No one will blame you. The Sword Tomb doesn't stipulate how many swords each person can take."

She smiled and took out another handful.

The sect leader's lips twitched. "Marquis Xinting?"

And then it's the next game.

"Tai'a?! You actually brought this out?" Nian Zhao stared wide-eyed in shock.

Feng Ning touched her nose, a little embarrassed, "It's alright, I guess."

Then another one came out.

"Gongbu!" The sect leader's eyes lit up with envy.

This is the sword that even he wanted! He had his eye on it back then, but he couldn't bring himself to take it out. He never expected that this girl would actually get her hands on it!

He wished he could go up and hug Gongbu.

In the end, it was the title of sect leader that weighed on him, preventing him from taking action to seize it.

But his expression was anything but calm.

Nian Zhao was numb. "If you're so capable, bring out another one."

She actually took out another one.

Great cool dragon bird!

Under their intense gazes, she couldn't resist any longer and gritted her teeth to take out another handful.

Nian Zhao roared, his voice almost cracking, "Divine magic! You actually brought it out? I spent seven days trying to get it to work and couldn't get anything out of it! And you just casually took it out like that."
