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

Ye Yuan held Xiao Qing Si in his hand expressionlessly. "Aren't you afraid I won't give it back to you?"

Feng Ning chuckled instantly, "You're going to give it back to me?"

Ye Yuan remained silent.

After a moment, he said, "I will find a way to make it speak."

Feng Ning's eyes lit up instantly. "Then can you make the others aware of their own? What method do you use? Can you teach me?"

Ye Yuan glanced at her. "Don't you have a master? Go and let your master teach you."

After saying that, she turned around haughtily and went straight into her room.

Feng Ning was choked and couldn't speak.

Why is this person like this? He only says half of what he means and does half of what he does. Isn't this obviously making her anxious?

She was in so much pain and anxiety.

After agonizing over it for a long time, I finally decided to give up.

The fact that he was able to get that little girl to speak was already an extra favor; she couldn't ask for too much.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Since she can make one person conscious, she can make others conscious as well.

With that thought in mind, he became somewhat impatient and prepared to return to his courtyard to cultivate.

Ye Yuan's voice came from inside the room again, "Don't just focus on cultivating your Green Silk. Your Sword Control Technique is good, but your control is lacking. Go back and think about how to improve your mental strength."

Feng Ning didn't stop walking; as she walked out, she replied, "I understand."

After that, he plunged into the cultivation room and ignored everything outside.

So she had no idea that Nian Zhao had secretly gone out on her own.

Meanwhile, Nian Zhao, who had already left home, was piloting his flying magical artifact towards the Holy Feather Kingdom.

three days later.

The Royal Palace of the Holy Feather Kingdom.

Nian Zhao, wielding a long sword, cleaved the palace gate in two with a single strike.

"You old bastard, get out here!"

The ancient emperor inside the palace suddenly opened his eyes, "Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Holy Feather Kingdom!"

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of many people, and all the forces in Hunyuan City began to be on high alert.

Nian Zhao's spiritual energy surged, sword energy coiled around the ice-blue sword, poised to strike.

"Does your Holy Feather Royal Family think that my Heavenly Profound Sect has no one to rely on? How dare you force the personal disciple of an elder of my Heavenly Profound Sect to marry a mere illegitimate prince of your Holy Feather Kingdom? You have some nerve!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Hunyuan City understood what they meant.

After all, they were well aware of what had happened at the palace banquet some time ago.

I never expected that the disciple from back then would actually be a disciple of an elder of the Tianxuan Sect.

Even the elders of the Tianxuan Sect are ranked.

There is a reclusive elder.

There are senior elders, usually referred to as the Four Elders.

There are inner sect elders, namely the peak masters and deputy elders of the six peaks.

Besides these, there are the outer sect elders.

It can be said that, apart from the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master, the four elders are the ones who call the shots in the Tianxuan Sect.

These four elders do not usually appear in public, so people only know the inner sect elders; these four elders are merely legendary figures.

Unexpectedly, they have come to the Holy Feather Kingdom and Hunyuan City today.

Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but this time they've come seeking revenge, which is quite interesting.

The crowd outside was waiting to see the spectacle, while the ancient emperor wanted to stay inside and not come out, but this matter couldn't be resolved by simply hiding.

Just as Yao Feibai said, the Holy Feather Kingdom is a small country that cannot even afford to offend the Changyang Kingdom, let alone the Tianxuan Sect.

He could only put on a forced smile and appear at the palace gate.

But when he arrived, the palace gates had already been smashed open.

Nian Zhao didn't care about palace gates or anything like that; he cleaved them all in two with a single sword strike.

Destroying the formation was not easy, but destroying the palace gate was quite simple.

He was also getting angry, and said in a deep voice, "I wonder which elder has come? What heinous thing has my Holy Feather Kingdom done to offend the elder so much that he wants to destroy my palace?"

Nian Zhao pointed his longsword at him, "Stop pretending. I am Nian Zhao, the fourth elder of the Tianxuan Sect. I do not change my name or surname."

He sized up the ancient emperor a few times. "You are the Holy Feather Emperor?"

The ancient emperor cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "I am the Holy Feather Emperor."

Nian Zhao sneered, "So it's you, old man, who wants to bestow a marriage upon my disciple? You, a mere illegitimate prince of the Holy Feather Clan, are you worthy of marrying my disciple? You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat!"

The ancient emperor's face was extremely ugly, but considering the other party's status, he dared not make a move directly. However, he could not win the argument, so he could only stand there, suppressing his anger.

Nian Zhao held his sword in his hand. "You forced my disciple to marry you, and when you refused, you chased after me. As your master, I can't just stand by and do nothing. Come on, let me see what you're capable of that makes you so arrogant."

As he spoke, he immediately raised his sword and slashed at the enemy.

The ancient emperor did not expect him to dare to attack directly, and quickly took out his weapon to resist.

The ancient emperor's current strength is at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, while Nian Zhao has already reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, which is one level higher than him.

Therefore, he dared not underestimate his enemy and resisted with all his might.

Nian Zhao, however, disregarded everything and started attacking.

He gathered his sword energy, and a strong killing intent swept over him.

"Sword intent? You actually mastered sword intent!" The ancient emperor panicked.

If there was still a chance to fight back before, now there is absolutely no way.

Nian Zhao has already mastered the sword intent; he has no chance of winning at all.

Nian Zhao sneered, "You should be glad that I haven't laid a hand on anyone for many years."

Then, with a single swing of his sword, he unleashed the "Free and Unfettered Sword Intent!"

The sword energy, which originally carried a strong killing intent, seemed to have softened, becoming as ordinary as a mountain breeze.

It makes people feel relaxed and comfortable, both physically and mentally.

The ancient emperor looked bewildered for a moment.

In the instant he was confused, the sword energy was already in front of him.

It was too late for him to dodge; he could only watch helplessly as the sword energy swept toward his face.

He was sent flying several meters away, but a burst of spiritual energy appeared behind him and caught him.

He regained his footing and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Nian Zhao lazily looked into the distance, "Stop hiding yourselves, come out and fight me if you dare, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Fourth Elder, don't be so ruthless. Always leave room for maneuver so you can meet again in the future."

Nian Zhao chuckled lightly, "I don't want to see you toads come out and die!"

"This is the fault of my good-for-nothing descendant. I will discipline him myself in the future. I beg the Fourth Elder to forgive him this time for my sake."

"Your face? What face do you have? You bullied my disciple, and you expect me to let you off? What kind of dream are you having?"

The man remained silent for a while before continuing, "You've come here to bully us; do you intend to start a war with my Holy Feather Kingdom?"

Nian Zhao burst into laughter, "Hahaha... Just you guys?"

His expression turned colder. "Hand them over, or you'll all die."
