“First, have some tea. How many years will this plan of yours take? Moreover, the seven great clans most probably had made preparations for when they made this announcement. Only by joining forces will they be able to deal with the Li clan of the Northern Kingdom…”

Li Yuanqing was smirking right now. It had been five years since he last saw his sister. She seemed to have grown up. She even knew how to use strategies and defeat them one by one. This was a strategy that an emperor had to come up with. There was some improvement.

“Five years. It should be enough in another five years. At that time, I should be able to break through to the ninth grade. I have time to waste with them. I don’t believe that the seven great clans can still be as united as an iron plate in five years’ time.”

Princess Zhaoyang had a determined look on her face. She was also trying to use her own methods to deal with these troublesome matters instead of begging her elder brother.

Li Yuanqing was pleased with her attitude of wanting to be independent and handle the affairs of the Northern Kingdom by herself.

Princess Zhaoyang was indeed Li Yuanqing’s sister.

Good!

“Five years is too long and too troublesome. Five days is enough to settle such a matter. Young lady, don’t forget what I told you. You are the princess of the royal family and my younger sister. Be yourself. In the future, if you want to get married, marry the person you love and do whatever you want. The Northern Kingdom doesn’t need a woman to sacrifice…”

Before Li Yuanqing could finish his sentence, the usually strong and arrogant Princess Zhaoyang’s eyes were already red. Tears welled up in her eyes and she threw herself into Li Yuanqing’s arms the next moment.

Tears streamed down her face. For so many years, everyone had been saying that she was the pride of the Northern Kingdom, that she was the hope of the Northern Kingdom. She was the youngest and most promising martial artist in the Northern Kingdom. She was the first princess to be conferred the title of Crown Princess. She was noble and had a high status. She was loved by everyone and was the most respected princess in the Northern Kingdom.

But only her brother would tell her like he did when she was young. He would treat her as a young lady and dote on her. He would let her be herself, marry when she wanted, and do whatever she wanted.

One had to know how difficult this was for a princess of the royal family! Especially for a country with an unstable foundation and insufficient resources. It was extremely difficult for a princess who wanted to become the Crown Princess to be able to do this.

It was because she knew how difficult it was and how much her brother doted on her that the prideful Princess Zhaoyang hugged Li Yuanqing and cried her eyes out. This was also the only time she cried so recklessly the last time her brother left the palace.

Princess Zhaoyang was actually already in her twenties. Because she was a ninth-grade martial artist, her current appearance was as delicate as a sixteen or seventeen year old young girl. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had the noble aura of a high and mighty princess of the royal family. Even when she cried, there was a hint of stubbornness.

Li Yuanqing sighed in his heart. This sister of his was good at everything except crying in front of him. But once she cried, his heart would soften.

In fact, if Zhaoyang were to find out what Li Yuanqing was thinking, she would definitely object. That was because she had never cried in front of anyone in the entire Northern Kingdom, including her father. Not to mention the other royal relatives and generals. Her delicate tears only flowed in front of her brother.

“Alright, alright, don’t cry anymore. Once you cry, your eyes will swell up and you won’t look good anymore. If you think that five days is too long, then we’ll make it into three days. I will settle this troublesome matter for you in three days. Just wait to be conferred the title of the Crown Princess…”

Li Yuanqing stroked Princess Zhaoyang’s hair. Her black hair was shiny and smooth. It was very comfortable to touch.

“No, Big Brother, they are very powerful!”

“It’s fine. Hu Jiujiu, you can stay here with the princess for a few days!”

Li Yuanqing called Hu Jiujiu and looked at his clothes. Zhaoyang had so many tears that his clothes were drenched. This girl must have had a hard time all these years. However, this was something she was willing to do. Perhaps crying would be enough!

This was the first time in the five years since Li Yuanqing had walked out of the valley of the Wilderness. And this time, his target was the Zhao clan, the head of the seven great clans.

The Zhao clan was actually the maiden home of the previous dynasty’s Empress. Originally, when the Northern Kingdom was established, the founding ancestor’s intention was to seize the opportunity to wipe out all of the members of the Zhao clan. However, at that time, the Zhao clan had offered a lot of treasures to support the founding of the Northern Kingdom.

In addition, the Zhao clan’s patriarch’s bloodline was executed. At that time, the patriarch was the father of the previous dynasty’s Empress, and the person who made that decision was the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor.

Someone who could be so ruthless to his own children and grandchildren was definitely not a kind person. He knew how to judge the situation and make use of every opportunity. Therefore, Li Yuanqing’s first stop was the Zhao clan. He wanted to see how they would celebrate and fight against the royal family after destroying the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor.

It started drizzling on the mountain early in the morning when he reached the old mansion in the Zhao clan’s fief. Although this place was called an old mansion, it was actually like a castle. A heavily guarded castle. The Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor lived here.

No one noticed Li Yuanqing when he entered the old mansion, including the Martial Saint, the Old Ancestor of the Zhao clan. He suddenly stood in front of the Old Ancestor of the Zhao clan at the back of the mountain where the scenery was as beautiful as a painting.

“Who are you?”

The Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor didn’t feel that his words carried a trace of fear and dread. It was because with his cultivation realm, it was impossible for him not to notice anyone, not even the Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom.

But who was this young man in front of him who looked like an immortal? Could he be an immortal?

Impossible, how was this possible?

“Someone who wants your life. Weren’t you lying low a hundred years ago? Why did you jump out now? You’re really asking for it…” Li Yuanqing could not help but shake his head and sigh after looking at this man in his forties or fifties.

In the past, the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor had been able to execute his own son and grandson and lower his head to protect the entire Zhao clan. But why couldn’t he restrain himself now?

It was all because he was too arrogant and thought that there was no one left in the Northern Kingdom. Therefore, people should not get carried away. They should be like him. If they had secretly accumulated their strength just like him signing in the Wilderness to accumulate his strength, they would definitely not bring about a disaster.

“You, are you someone from the royal family? Or…”

The Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor was deliberately delaying to find an opportunity. The cultivation technique in his body had already begun to circulate, and when he found an opportunity, he would slap this man before him whose depth couldn’t be seen clearly.

Unfortunately, Li Yuanqing had already thrown out his Saint Extermination Stone by the time he made his move.

This treasure had been nurtured in his hands for many years now. Furthermore, when Li Yuanqing was in the valley, he had been cultivating the skill of the Saint Extermination Stone non-stop. This skill had reached the Master level.

At this time, when the egg-sized Saint Extermination Stone flew in front of the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor, it was like a giant mountain was pressing down on him, making it so that the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor couldn’t escape even if he wanted to!

Because no matter how you escape, you will not be able to escape the control of the Saint Extermination Stone!
