Martial Saint!

When Li Yuanqing came to the Capital, he brought Hu Jiujiu along.

A while ago, he had given the healing elixir, the Green Light Ghost Flower, to Hu Jiujiu. She had been healing for a period of time before coming to the Imperial City and got the healing elixir. Tonight, her injuries should have recovered slightly.

Hence, the inner demon seed that was suppressing her in Hu Jiujiu's body seemed to show signs of loosening.

The situation was not looking good!

In the backyard, Hu Jiujiu was smiling with a veil covering her face. Her phoenix eyes were bright and vibrant, making people not dare to look at her directly. Furthermore, no one dared to imagine how stunning her face would be under the veil.

This was the second time Zhaoyang had seen Hu Jiu. She had reminded Li Yuanqing to let her put on the veil because her face was just like a vixen who could bring disaster to the country and its people. It was too eye-catching.

Li Yuanqing was a cautious person. He felt that it would be better for Hu Jiujiu to keep a low profile before he became a Martial Saint. After all, her beauty was becoming more and more stunning as her injuries recovered.

"Li…" Hu Jiujiu's red lips let out a musical note while her strength rose steadily. Even Li Yuanqing's level four inner demon seed could not suppress her.

A level four inner demon seed could even control Martial Saints. Could it be that Hu Jiujiu's strength had surpassed the Martial Saint realm? Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes. After glancing at Hu Jiujiu twice, he left quietly. He had to find a place to practice the Saint Extermination Stone and Manipulation Art. Even though the Blood Flame Sect did not appear to be very strong. Li Yuanqing, who was used to being cautious, did not let his guard down either. He had to be fully prepared.

Time quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, it was already the night of the Blood Flame Sect's challenge. The entire Imperial City was as bright as day. Countless martial artists gathered outside the Imperial Palace. Some even tried to enter the Imperial Palace.

All the civil and military officials in the court were also on high alert, especially the generals. They were all prepared to kill the members of the Blood Flame Sect.

Princess Zhaoyang wore armor and was like a war goddess as she stood next to the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom. As a sixth-grade martial artist, although she was young, she was really too famous in the Northern Kingdom.

Her prestige even exceeded that of the Crown Prince, so when she stood behind His Majesty, she attracted a wave of cheers.

Before midnight, the originally bright moonlight suddenly turned dark red. The air was filled with the faint smell of blood. Even the commoners were alarmed. Someone covered the crying child and listened in horror to the sounds coming from the palace.

A few cackling sounds made everyone's hair stand on end. The sound was so loud that almost everyone in the Imperial City could hear it, and the sound traveled very far.

Within the Imperial Palace, a group of people blotted out the sky as they arrived. The person leading them was the Blood Flame Sect's sect leader, a peak ninth-grade martial artist. He was even stronger than Prince Zhongyi.

One peak ninth-grade martial artist wasn't scary. What was scary was the two peak ninth-grade martial artists and the three eighth-grade martial artists who came with him. They were the Blood Flame Sect's sect leader, vice sect leader and their three deacons.

This lineup caused the expressions of the generals who had been guarding the palace to change.

Although the Blood Flame Sect did not have a Martial Saint, their lineup was enough to move people. They did not expect that the Blood Flame Sect had been hiding for a hundred years and would shock the world the moment they appeared.

The General of the Wilderness Encampment, with 100,000 soldiers under his command, was only at the peak of the seventh-grade. The royal family had an old prince, who was the uncle of the current Emperor. He was the strongest of them and had just entered the ninth-grade.

As for the current Emperor, he was only at the peak of the eighth-grade. The strength that the Blood Flame Sect had accumulated for over a hundred years was truly astonishing.

"Li Huanjun, you have no virtue, no talent, and no ability. You occupy the position of the ruler of a country. It's time to throw away the title of the Northern Kingdom. The throne should belong to the virtuous. For example, the people of our Blood Flame Sect…"

At this moment, the Blood Flame Sect's sect leader was trying to test if the founding Holy Grandmaster of the Northern Kingdom was still alive. Therefore, he was extremely insulting and directly called out the name of the Northern Kingdom's Emperor.

His words caused the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Northern Kingdom, as well as the guards, to turn red with anger. The Blood Flame Sect had gone too far. They even dared to insult the Emperor. This was the death penalty for treason and the extermination of nine generations.

The Blood Flame Sect was indeed arrogant.

"Impudent! Kill!" The Emperor of the Northern Kingdom coldly shouted at the people of the Blood Flame Sect. If he didn't kill all the people of the Blood Flame Sect behind today, the prestige of the Northern Kingdom would be gone.

Even if the Holy Grandmaster was no longer around, Li Huanjun planned to gather all the experts in the Northern Kingdom for a battle and eradicate the Blood Flame Sect.

After he gave the order, two people suddenly appeared behind him. One of them was Li Huanjun's uncle, who was well known to everyone. He was an early-stage ninth-grade martial artist. Although he was old, he stood there with a majestic aura.

He held a huge saber that was more than two meters long in his hand. He tapped the handle of the saber on the ground and cracks started to appear on the ground. Ninth-grade martial artists were so terrifying!

"A clown dares to cause trouble?" An old man in eunuch attire walked out from behind Li Huanjun. His hunched back suddenly straightened, and his turbid eyes turned sharp.

The aura on his body was also rising steadily. He was in the fifth-grade, sixth-grade, and eighth-grade, and he became a ninth-grade. This caused many people's eyes to widen. This old eunuch had always been by His Majesty's side with his back hunched. It was said that he had followed His Majesty for decades since he was young.

Who would have thought that he was actually a peerless expert?

A Peak ninth-grade!

Li Huanjun stood at the highest point of this empty space. He stretched out both his hands, and the power on his body rose continuously. Intermediate eighth-grade, peak eighth-grade, early-stage ninth-grade and finally, he became an intermediate ninth-grade. He advanced three levels in an instant!

There was a burst of cheers. The Northern Kingdom actually had three ninth-grade martial artists? The Northern Kingdom is going to be fine!

Even though the Blood Flame Sect had three eighth-grade martial artists, they were at a disadvantage now. Li Huanjun's face was as cold as steel. This time, he wanted to kill all the members of the Blood Flame Sect as a warning to others.

Let the world see the price that had to be paid for testing him!

Li Huanjun made a gesture. Princess Zhaoyang, who was standing not far away from him, knew that her father was going to kill someone. She suppressed the nervousness in her heart. Today, she was going to kill the enemy!

Just as everyone was preparing for battle, a long whistle suddenly sounded out. The first sound seemed to be a hundred miles away, but the second sound felt close. By the time the third sound came, that person had already reached the edge of the Imperial City!

Martial Saint!

Other than a Martial Saint, no one was able to move so fast in the midst of the three whistles. Meanwhile, the people from the Blood Flame Sect had a look of joy on their faces. At this moment, they all knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Congratulations to Sect Master for coming out of seclusion. Congratulations to Sect Master for becoming a Martial Saint. May you rule the world for generations to come…"

He was actually the Sect Master of the Blood Flame Sect? He's a Martial Saint? Martial Saint? In an instant, Li Huanjun felt his eyes go black. The thing he was most unwilling to see had come!
