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

When he turned back, he had already composed himself.

Nian Zhao nodded, "Then tell me, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"

The elder was taken aback. What did he mean by "how to solve it"?

Of course, we should resolve this privately when we get back. Do you expect us to bring it up in front of everyone now?

As soon as Jinghui saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking.

He wore a sarcastic smile. "Oh, judging from your expression, you're planning to fool us for now, and then punish us however you like after we leave, is that what you mean?"

Sure enough, a look of guilt appeared on the man's face.

Nian Zhao sneered, "It seems you still haven't taken my words to heart. In that case, there's no need to say anything more. From now on, no one from the Holy Feather Kingdom is allowed to set foot in the Heavenly Profound Sect. Even sects that are on good terms with the Heavenly Profound Sect will not accept you."

Let's go.

The other two did not refute Nian Zhao's words and also turned and left.

Seeing that they were about to leave, the elder became anxious and hurriedly turned to look at the Supreme Ancestor of the Gu family, the previous Gu Emperor.

The patriarch of the Gu family said calmly, "Elders, please wait."

However, none of the three of them turned their heads.

They really think too highly of themselves. They tried to discuss things with you properly, but you wouldn't listen. Now they're scared?

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.

The ancient emperor was anxious. If this matter really caused the Holy Feather Kingdom and the Heavenly Profound Sect to become enemies, then the ancestor would definitely not let him off.

He panicked immediately, not daring to even look at the old ancestor's face, and rushed over to stop the group.

"Please wait, elders."

Nian Zhao looked at him coldly, "What? Are you planning to attack us? Or do you think our Tianxuan Sect is so weak that you alone can stop the three of us?"

The ancient emperor subconsciously turned to look at his ancestor, and after receiving his ancestor's cold gaze, his legs went weak with fear.

He bent over with a straight bow, his waist bending at a ninety-degree angle.

He bowed deeply, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture, his attitude extremely sincere.

"What happened before was the fault of my rebellious son. He is a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, and we are willing to hand him over to the Tianxuan Sect for processing. We beg the elders to calm down!"

Jing Hui turned to look at Nian Zhao, and seeing that he was still not satisfied, he stepped forward and said.

"Is that all? He deserves to be punished for breaking the sect rules, but you aided and abetted the evildoer and bullied my disciple. This cannot be left unresolved."

The ancient emperor looked up, "Then what does the elder mean..."

Jinghui gave him a deep look, letting him understand on his own.

After thinking for a moment, the ancient emperor said, "We are willing to compensate another one million low-grade spirit stones."

Nian Zhao's expression remained unchanged. "One million mid-grade spirit stones, plus four high-grade spirit artifacts, will be given to them as compensation."

The ancient emperor gasped, completely stunned.

Are they asking for an exorbitant amount?

Spirit stones are one thing, they can still produce them, but can high-grade spiritual artifacts be produced so easily?

It takes four rounds to pay back!

Isn’t this forcing someone to do something difficult?

The ancient emperor's face was grim. Just as he hesitated, the patriarch of the Gu family spoke up, "We agree."

The ancient emperor stared in astonishment at the patriarch of the ancient family, "Patriarch..."

"Shut up! Go prepare the things," the Gu family patriarch coldly reprimanded.

The ancient emperor dared not interrupt again and took out one million mid-grade spirit stones and two high-grade spirit artifacts from his ring.

“Ancestor… we are still missing two high-grade spiritual artifacts.”

The patriarch of the Gu family took out two items from his ring and handed them to Nian Zhao.

Nian Zhaoqing checked it and nodded after confirming that everything was correct.

"Considering your sincerity, this matter will be dropped. But if you dare to act recklessly again, don't blame this elder for being impolite."

The group nodded, gritting their teeth, not daring to refute at all.

Nian Zhao led the two away, satisfied.

Jinghui was also taken aback, "You really went too far."

Nian Zhao rolled her eyes at him. "If they dare to scheme against my disciple, they should be prepared to face my wrath. Otherwise, who would dare to jump on my disciple's head? What do they take me for?"

Jinghui remained silent.

Wen Yao stopped in his tracks. "This is not the way back to the sect."

Nian Zhao patted Wen Yao on the shoulder, "Since we're already here, we should at least resolve everything before we leave."

Wen Yao looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Nian Zhao then recounted the entire story between Feng Ning and the Hai family.

Jinghui's forehead veins throbbed with anger upon hearing this.

"These ungrateful bastards! It seems that our Tianxuan Sect is too kind. How dare someone so openly ride on the heads of our Tianxuan Sect's direct disciples."

Wen Yao glanced at them and said, "You're settling a personal score."

Nian Zhao raised an eyebrow, "Just tell me if you're going or not?"

Wen Yao, "..."

Without saying a word, he flew towards the Hai family's house first.

Nian Zhao smiled with satisfaction, "That's more like it."

Afterwards, the three of them went directly to the Hai family's house.

The Hai family also paid a compensation of one million mid-grade spirit stones. In addition, the Hai family head was beaten up by the three of them, leaving him with a bruised and swollen face. He wouldn't be able to leave the house for at least a month.

Old Master Hai is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, so his strength is not weak.

If Nian Zhao were to face him one-on-one, the match would only end in a draw.

However, he had a cheating array master, Jing Hui, and a powerful Nascent Soul ninth-level expert, Wen Yao, by his side.

Even with the three of them combined, Grandpa Hai was no match for them.

Nian Zhao looked down at him condescendingly, "Patriarch Hai, remember this well: my disciple is not a member of your Hai family. Don't even think about trying to extort money from her again. Otherwise, if I find out, I'll beat you every time I see you."

Grandpa Hai was extremely frustrated, but he couldn't say a word.

He just wanted to acknowledge his granddaughter, what's wrong with that?

Feng Ning is now just an orphan. Without the Hai family as her backing, how far can she go?

Arranging a marriage between her and the royal family is for her own good, so why won't she agree?

If the Third Prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be the Empress, the most honored woman in the entire Holy Feather Kingdom. What's wrong with that?

He was thinking of her wholeheartedly, but Feng Ning didn't appreciate it at all. She was simply ungrateful!

He secretly resented Feng Ning, but now he finally understood one thing.

Feng Ning is no longer alone. Just because she has such a protective master, the Hai family will not dare to do anything to Feng Ning in the future.

He could only watch the three of them leave with resentment.

The three of them turned the entire Hunyuan City upside down, unaware that the Tianxuan Sect was also in turmoil at the same time.

After Duan Menghua and Yao Feibai returned, they told Wen Yao what had happened.

Jinghui happened to be there at the time, so the two hit it off and went to find Nian Zhao together.
