Chapter 15: Saint Extermination Stone!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The letter of challenge from the Blood Flame Sect was found on the table in the Throne Room when the Emperor of the Northern State went to court. The little eunuch on duty was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted. This was a crime of executing nine generations of families.

The Emperor of the Northern Kingdom remained silent and calm as he looked at the letter of challenge, the young eunuch who had fainted, and the ministers in the great hall who were terrified.

After court, he did not do anything. He went straight to the Scripture Library in the Imperial City and sat there for an entire afternoon. He was so calm that no one could see through him, but right now, his heart was filled with despair.

He was certain that the founder of the Northern Kingdom, the Holy Grandmaster, was no longer around.

This was because he wasn’t in the library, and the place where he cultivated in seclusion didn’t have the aura of a living person at all. He hadn’t seen the Holy Grandmaster for nearly twenty years.

Even when Prince Zhongyi forced Zhaoyang to marry him, he had come to the Scripture Library and even deliberately prayed at the place they had agreed on. However, there was no news of the Holy Grandmaster at all.

He had already guessed this ten years ago.

The Patriarch was no longer around, but he had to keep this information a secret. He had to find the guardian of the Northern Kingdom as soon as possible.

A country without a Martial Saint would be devoured by various forces.

That was why he wanted his talented crown prince to marry the princess of Myriad City Kingdom. He even wanted Li Yuanqing to stay in the Myriad City Kingdom because of the princess.

Even if the Northern Kingdom did not have a Martial Saint, it would still be able to hold on for decades.

It would not take much effort for the royal family to have another Martial Saint after a few decades had passed. However, that bastard Yuanqing disobeyed the decree and caused the Northern Kingdom to be in danger.

Prince Zhongyi and the people from the Blood Flame Sect had all jumped out. If they didn’t have absolute confidence in suppressing the people from the Blood Flame Sect this time, the Northern Kingdom would fall into chaos and the royal family of the Northern Kingdom would be hunted down like stray dogs.

The Emperor of the Northern Kingdom, who was sitting on the top floor of the Scripture Library, looked at the bright sunset and thought about many things.

Things were getting worse. He had to leave some backup.

The Third Prince was slow-witted and had mediocre talent. If he was to go to the vast and abundant Wilderness immediately, there would be a loyal garrison general. He might be able to save his life.

The fourth prince was still young. He would tell the fourth prince to bring the royal family’s treasures and a group of loyal people to the Myriad City Kingdom to seek help. As for Zhaoyang, he had found a top-secret place for her to cultivate. Her talent was truly rare!

He would leave the Empress, the Noble Consort, and Pure Consort in the palace. If they won, they would still enjoy wealth and glory. If they lost, he would personally kill them before he died.

With his eyes closed, he calculated everyone’s fate. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom returned to the palace and began to arrange for the war three days later.

In less than a day, the news that the Blood Flame Sect had issued a challenge letter to the current Emperor had spread throughout the entire Imperial City. Everyone in the Northern Kingdom was talking about the Blood Flame Sect and the challenge letter!

The strength of the Blood Flame Sect’s Sect Leader, who was at the peak of the ninth-grade, had also been dug out.

That was not all. Many people were saying that the ancestor of the Blood Flame Sect had already become a Martial Saint. If the Holy Grandmaster of the Northern Kingdom were to appear, he could resolve the crisis.

Otherwise, the world would not be peaceful!

For a time, the people within the Northern Kingdom were anxious and uneasy. Many shops on the streets had already closed down and were not in the mood to open for business. They were waiting for the final battle three days later.

There were martial artists who walked the streets, and there were even some who had bet about the great battle three days later. Every day the prefecture magistrate, who was in charge of maintaining order, had an incomparable headache. There was an undercurrent that surged outside the Imperial City.

As these undercurrents gathered, the atmosphere in the entire Imperial City became strange.

Everyone felt that something was wrong. The commoners, who were afraid of trouble, did not dare to go out for the past few days. This was because the number of martial artists in the Imperial City had suddenly increased. Furthermore, they began to cause trouble. Every day, there would be bloodshed and provocation.

Things were starting to look bad.

Zhaoyang had also sensed it. She even knew that the Third Prince had gone missing, and so had the Fourth Prince. Her father had sent someone to deliver a token to her, telling her to immediately leave the city and head north to find Shaoyang Mountain!

The Holy Grandmaster was not here. So her father was not confident at all!

Princess Zhaoyang felt a chill in her heart. She knew that her father was giving her a way out, but she didn’t want to leave. As a sixth-grade martial artist, she could actually hold her own. She won’t leave, she will stay.

However, before that, she had to quickly get her brother to go to the Wilderness. Her brother would definitely be able to live well. The people from the Blood Flame Sect would not be able to find him anytime soon.

Zhaoyang was anxious, but Li Yuanqing was not.

He was strolling around the Crown Prince’s residence. His favorite place to stay was the library of the residence. That was because Li Yuanqing heard that voice that made him happy again.

[System detected the library. Host, are you signing in?]

“Sign in!”

[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. Reward: Basic Vitality Reinforcement Pill!]

[System reward (available!)

One: 100 Basic Vitality Reinforcement Pills!

Two: Saint Extermination Stone!]

Vitality Reinforcement Pill?

It seemed to be the elixir needed to break through to the Martial Saint realm. The Vitality Reinforcement Pill could protect one’s Origin Energy. When combined with the Vitality Reinforcement Pill, it would yield twice the results with half the effort. These things could increase the chances of breaking through to the Martial Saint realm!

Li Yuanqing was already a ninth-grade martial artist, so he could consider making a breakthrough to Martial Saint. This pill seemed to have come at the right time.

However, Li Yuanqing felt that his cultivation and foundation were not stable. He planned to only consider breaking through to the Martial Saint realm after consolidating his cultivation to the peak of the ninth-grade in a few years!

But, when he saw the Saint Extermination Stone, he didn’t hesitate at all. If this thing could destroy a Martial Saint, how powerful would it be?

The foundation of the Northern Kingdom was unstable because it did not have a Martial Saint. That was why everyone was coveting the country.

If there really was a treasure that could destroy a Saint, then the Northern Kingdom wouldn’t think of using the Crown Prince and Princess to exchange for benefits. The commoners wouldn’t be fearful of the world’s peace.

“I chose the Saint Extermination Stone!”

As Li Yuanqing made his choice, a pebble-sized rock soon appeared in his palm. When his hand touched the rock, Li Yuanqing could feel the terrifying power contained within. Furthermore, he could feel that he could control this power. However, Li Yuanqing was overjoyed when he found out the method to use the Saint Extermination Stone.

Initially, Li Yuanqing was worried that the Saint Extermination Stone could only be used once and could not be used again after it was used. However, Li Yuanqing realized later on that it could slowly gather power and enter a dormant state after it was released before gathering power again.

The Saint Extermination Stone had come at the right time.

Hu Jiujiu, the Saint Extermination Stone, and himself. The battle between the Blood Flame Sect and the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom in the Throne Room was going to be very lively.

The moment Li Yuanqing thought of Hu Jiujiu, the inner demon seed in her fluctuated. The situation did not look good!
