Chapter 17: Dead?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Why was the Northern Kingdom in danger all these years? Why did his crown prince fall off the horse and die? Why did Prince Zhongyi force the princess to marry him?

The root of all this was that the Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom was no longer alive!

Without a Martial Saint, no matter how many peak ninth grade martial artists there were in the Northern Kingdom, they would only be able to intimidate some unknowledgeable and no foundation forces.

Although the difference between a peak ninth-grade martial artist and a Martial Saint seemed to be only one level, the difference was like heaven and earth.

As long as there was a Martial Saint in the Northern Kingdom, they would not be provoked or even bullied.

Li Huanjun glanced at Princess Zhaoyang, who was beside him. In his heart, he was thinking that although the princess had stayed behind, the two princes had escaped. This could be considered as leaving a trace of blood for the Northern Li Clan. Today, they could only die in battle without retreating…

The soldiers guarding the palace, as well as the generals, all had ashen faces. Their eyes were filled with despair. The Blood Flame Sect had a Martial Saint. How could they fight? They had to run for their lives!

As soon as the Martial Saint appeared, the Northern Kingdom was in chaos. Everyone was in danger and was utterly defeated.

“Protect His Majesty! Protect His Majesty!”

Although there were people shouting, there were people who wanted to run away amidst the panic. As long as there was life, there was hope. The Blood Flame Sect wanted to deal with His Majesty. As long as they hid, the remaining people might still have a chance to live.

Just as everyone was panicking, Hu Jiujiu walked over slowly. She was wearing a veil, and under the moonlight, she looked like a fairy. However, her purity and her phoenix eyes reflected each other, and the two completely different temperaments collided.

Those who had seen her before would never forget her. Those who wanted to run stopped because they saw the Sect Master of the Blood Flame Sect descending from the sky and a white figure rushing up.

Before anyone could see what was going on, a blinding white light blinded them.

The Sect Master of the Blood Flame Sect fell straight down, creating a huge pit that was dozens of meters wide. Dust flew in the air, causing people to cough uncontrollably. Only then did Hu Jiujiu float down.

The eyes of the Sect Master of the Blood Flame Sect, who was lying in the pit, were wide open, but he was no longer breathing. The sect leaders and deacons of the Blood Flame Sect thought that they were dreaming. How could this be? They didn’t see anything clearly from that one round.

Their Sect Master had actually died? He died at the hands of this woman in white. Could this woman be the Martial Saint behind the Northern Kingdom?

This was too well-hidden. The Northern Kingdom actually had a female Martial Saint. Everyone was shocked, including Li Huanjun and Princess Zhaoyang. She remembered that she did not like Hu Jiu Jiu. She always said that she was a vixen and even asked her to wear a veil in case her appearance was shocking.

“Mighty! A Martial Saint is indeed mighty!” Someone in the crowd shouted. In an instant, many people raised their weapons and shouted at Hu Jiujiu. Their voices resounded throughout the Imperial City, causing countless people to celebrate.

The Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom had appeared!

The sect leader of the Blood Flame Sect saw that the situation had gone astray. He didn’t even look at the Sect Master that he had lost and immediately fled. However, before he could take three steps, he saw a white shadow flash past his eyes!

He spat out a mouthful of blood and none of the other three deacons managed to escape!

Hu Jiujiu slapped them one by one. While she was killing them, the aura in her body was circulating rapidly, trying to break free from the inner demon seed’s control in one go. Meanwhile, Li Yuanqing, who was still in Princess Zhaoyang’s residence, had already sensed the abnormality of the inner demon seed!

He snorted coldly suddenly. The level of controlling the inner demon seed immediately rose to level five!

Meanwhile, Hu Jiujiu, who was in the palace, suddenly realized in horror that the control of the inner demon seed had become stronger. Furthermore, her owner was displeased. She was extremely terrified and suddenly knelt down in one direction.

That direction was the direction of Princess Zhaoyang’s residence.

Hu Jiujiu, who had knelt down, quickly noticed that the inner demon seed in her body had calmed down. She heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and quickly left the group of people who had been shocked by her.

“Kill!” Li Huanjun made a gesture, but his heart was in turmoil.

Although he could not see the face of the Martial Saint, he could tell that it was a young woman. She was not very old. Even if one could only see her eyes, she was still beautiful enough to attract people’s attention.

All these were not important. What was important was the fact that the Martial Saint had kneeled at the last moment. This was what surprised Li Huanjun.

In his opinion, being able to kill the Sect Master of the Blood Flame Sect in one move means that this lady should be the strongest person in the Northern Kingdom. She had the strength of a Martial Saint. Who would have the ability to make her kneel down in fear?

This was even more unbelievable than the sudden appearance of a Martial Saint.

The few people from the Blood Flame Sect were quickly killed. Not a single one of the people who followed them into the palace had escaped. The magical scene that happened tonight was unforgettable.

There was another powerful being behind this Martial Saint? So powerful to make this Martial Saint kneel down?

They simply did not dare to imagine who that person was.

While everyone was feeling extremely shocked, only Zhaoyang’s heart was pounding. She couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart because she knew who that person was.?It’s her brother! it must be her brother!

Hu Jiujiu was his servant. It was normal for her to kneel down to him. Hence, when the Blood Flame Sect members were killed and His Majesty issued an order to hunt down the remaining members of the Blood Flame Sect, Princess Zhaoyang found His Majesty.

This time, she knelt before her father. “Father, I know where that woman came from. She’s from the Wilderness!”

In fact, Princess Zhaoyang only had one goal, and that was to change her father’s mind and to agree to let her brother return from the Wilderness. He was the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom and would be the ruler of the Northern Kingdom in the future.

“The Wilderness? Zhaoyang, don’t speak nonsense. The Wilderness does not only consist of the citizens of the Northern Kingdom. Don’t tell anyone about this in the future. Don’t mention that evil son anymore…”

There were many vicious beasts in the hinterlands of the Wilderness and the area was extremely vast. The Northern Kingdom couldn’t do anything to them. They could only control the borders of the Wilderness. After passing through the Wilderness, they wouldn’t be considered part of the Northern Kingdom.

It was not easy for the Northern Kingdom to produce a Martial Saint. Li Huanjun would never allow anyone to spread the news that this Martial Saint did not belong to the Northern Kingdom.

What he wanted was for everyone to misunderstand that the Northern Kingdom had another Martial Saint to rely on. With this Martial Saint, those forces in the dark would consider the consequences of the Blood Flame Sect. Only then would the foundation of the Northern Kingdom be stable.

Zhaoyang did not say anything. She only looked at her father in disappointment. Her father still refused to forgive her brother!

“Kneel!” After returning to the Wilderness, Li Yuanqing said coldly to Hu Jiujiu.
