It was the qilin that had arrived. It had probably sensed Hu Jiujiu’s aura and rushed over from the hinterlands to meet her.
The qilin half-knelt on the ground and shook its head at Hu Jiu jiu. Its joy was evident.
On the other side, Zhaoyang and Li Yuanqing were frolicking on the surface of the lake. Even though Zhaoyang was a sixth-grade martial artist, she was still swaying on the surface of the lake and almost fell down.
Li Yuanqing could not help but laugh at Zhaoyang’s charmingly naive look. When he left the palace, Zhaoyang looked like she was only seven or eight years old. However, she was no longer naive and innocent. At this moment, she was able to let go of her worries in front of him. He would just let her play around.
“Brother, you don’t know how angry Father was when he didn’t see you the previous time. Moreover, later on, I often angered him, but he didn’t dare to flare up at me when he was angry. It felt truly good to see him like that…”
At this moment, Zhaoyang was smiling very happily. Although this seemed inappropriate, when she thought about what her father had done to her, she felt very happy.
Li Yuanqing smiled as well. He also liked this feeling of not being able to do anything to me despite not liking me.
Besides, apart from being their father, Li Huanjun was also the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom. However, he was able to achieve what he had today because he thought too highly of the country. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in such an awkward situation.
“He brought it upon himself. He deserves it. He doesn’t look like a father, so he has to be mentally prepared that his children won’t respect him and be filial to him. Moreover, the royal family has never been affectionate, so don’t expect anything…”
“Yes, I understand. Oh right, I will be heading to the headquarters of the Wind Thunder Sect in Kaiyuan County after the New Year. There are also a few sects in the Northern Kingdom. I have to teach them a good lesson. I’m afraid I won’t have time to bother you for the next few years…”
Zhaoyang accepted the order and went to deal with the sects of the Northern Kingdom. These people were all hiding in the dark, but once they discovered that the Northern Kingdom’s foundation was unstable, they would be the first to jump out.
For example, the Blood Flame Sect was the leader.
“Be careful, they might have Martial Saints too!” Li Yuanqing instructed Zhaoyang. After they were done playing on the lake, he took out quite a number of intermediate Wallbreaker Pills and handed them to Zhaoyang. “The disparity between a sixth-grade and seventh-grade martial artist is too great. A seventh-grade martial artist is an advanced martial artist. You will be safer…”
Although Zhaoyang will bring Hu Jiujiu to sweep through those sects, who knows if there would be some hidden strength or a Martial Saint hidden inside. After all, the Northern Kingdom was too big. The cautious Li Yuanqing naturally hoped that Zhaoyang was fine.
Zhaoyang looked at her big brother with reddened eyes and nodded her head heavily. Then, she stayed in the Wilderness Valley for a period of time until the Imperial City urged her to return to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.
This was especially true for Li Huanjun. Since Zhaoyang wanted to be the Crown Princess, how could the first royal court of the New Year and the New Year offerings of the Northern Kingdom not have Princess Zhaoyang?
Therefore, when Princess Zhaoyang returned to the palace, Li Huanjun was very angry, especially when he thought about how he was not able to see Li Yuanqing even after staying in the Wilderness for a few days.
This time, Zhaoyang had stayed in the valley for half a month. Moreover, according to the secret report from the garrison general, Li Yuanqing had been in the valley the entire time, even accompanying Zhaoyang to hunt and play around.
Li Huanjun was both jealous and angry.
Li Yuanqing was too biased!
Thus, Li Huanjun wanted to use the excuse of delaying Princess Zhaoyang’s return to the Wilderness as an excuse to punish her a little and wanted to try to restrain herself. However, he was shocked to discover that Princess Zhaoyang who had returned from the Wilderness had already advanced to a seventh-grade martial artist, and Princess Zhaoyang was only sixteen years old this year.
A sixteen years old seventh-grade martial artist. This speed of advancement could be said to be the fastest in the Northern Kingdom. Only the founding ancestor could compare to this speed of advancement.
The remaining members of the Northern Kingdom royal family had not had a cultivating genius like Princess Zhaoyang for more than a hundred years. Therefore, even if Li Huanjun wanted to use this as an excuse to punish Princess Zhaoyang, he realized that it was all in vain.
This Princess Zhaoyang was the hope of the entire Northern Kingdom. Who would dare to punish her at this time? Wasn’t he deliberately opposing everyone?
Li Huanjun was most afraid of not being able to win the hearts of the people. Therefore, he could only think about it in his heart but did not dare to say it out loud.
Li Huanjun felt that he was a good-for-nothing Emperor when there was no one around! He couldn’t do as he pleased. He had to smile at the crippled Crown Prince even when he was being ignored. He wanted to punish Zhaoyang, but he didn’t dare to act recklessly for fear of incurring the wrath of the people and destabilizing the country.
Princess Zhaoyang did not think too much about it.
Now that she had advanced to an advanced seventh-grade martial artist, she remembered what her brother had told her. She had used too many medicines, although her advancement was very fast, she lacked actual combat experience. Her foundation in the Black Phoenix Spirit Technique wasn’t firm, and she needed to constantly temper herself in actual combat.
Thus, Princess Zhaoyang practically didn’t rest in the Imperial City and immediately went to encircle the Wind Thunder Sect’s rebels.
When she went to the headquarters of the Wind Thunder Sect in Kaiyuan County, she discovered that Kaiyuan County was not far from Shaoyang Mountain. The place here had violent sandstorms, and it’s very barren and looked desolate.
Zhaoyang recalled that when the Blood Flame Sect challenged the Imperial City, her father had arranged for her to go up to Shaoyang Mountain. If not for her brother’s man, she might have already landed in this barren and desolate place. Now that she thought about it, it felt like a dream.
Zhao Yang planned to lead Hu Jiujiu and charge after finding the headquarters of the Wind Thunder Sect. Then, she would get the imperial court’s troops to surround them and specifically kill those who escaped.
After Zhaoyang left, Li Yuanqing continued to cultivate silently in the small valley.
The Clear Sky Swords Art was about to reach Master level soon, and the Sand Escape Technique had also started to reach the Proficiency level. This escape technique was about speed. When Li Yuanqing used this escape technique, his speed was extremely fast, like a flash of light.
However, he still felt that it was not enough. Although his speed was comparable to a Martial Saint, it was still too slow for him to chase after a Martial Saint. He had to reach Master level.
Li Yuanqing had cultivated the Manipulation Art the most and had already broken through to peak level five. Therefore, even though Hu Jiujiu was very powerful, she was still unable to escape the control of the inner demon seed.
One month after Zhaoyang’s departure, Li Yuanqing, who had consumed the intermediate Vitality Reinforcement Pill, was still cultivating by the lake when the weather suddenly changed!
Waves of dark clouds were approaching the lake, and the sky suddenly darkened. This made the soldiers and civilians at the encampment extremely frightened. They didn’t know what had happened.
Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Sword on Li Yuanqing’s body suddenly jumped out and flew into the dark clouds! The strike was like an opportunity that caused the dark clouds to surge towards Li Yuanqing!
Li Yuanqing suddenly stood up!
