Li Yuanqing soon found the Wei Clan’s ancestral hall after following the aura of the powerful beings.
The people from the Wei clan were really weird. They were actually all gathered outside the ancestral hall and meditating. Even though the sky was not bright yet and many people were sitting on the ground and sleeping, they were all gathered together.
It saved him the trouble of searching alone.
But Li Yuanqing met with a little trouble when he was entering the ancestral hall, which was the formation.
The Wei clan had set up a large number of array formations outside. They were all linked together and looked rather exquisite. However, even if they were exquisite, it was useless as they could not stop Li Yuanqing.
However, when he stepped into the square outside the ancestral hall, before anyone noticed, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.
[Are you willing to sign in outside the ancestral hall of the Wei Family?]
Li Yuanqing was elated. He could sign in outside the ancestral hall? It was a pleasant surprise, so he signed in immediately. Soon, two choices appeared.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully, a hundredfold reward for the Restore Origin Pill!]
[1: 100 Restore Origin Pills!
Two: One Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array!]
Li Yuanqing was a little tired from running around for days. If he were to take the Restore Origin Pill now, his fatigue would be swept away. However, this Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array made him even more interested.
Although the Wei clan’s formation could not trap him, it was truly quite interesting.
Formations were also determined by the cultivation level of the person who set up the formation. If the person who set up the formation had a high cultivation level, it would definitely be able to trap and kill many people. To say it in an exaggerated way, it could even trap thousands of people.
It was even more powerful than an immortal sword.
Even though he had killed seven of the aristocratic families of the Northern Kingdom, the words of the Wang Clan’s Old Ancestor that he had once met were still fresh in Li Yuanqing’s mind.
If a child held a gold ingot in the middle of a bustling city, it would attract the attention of countless peeps and others would naturally snatch it away.
Thus, only by making the royal family stronger would the kingdom be truly stable, unlike the current Emperor who would use his children to exchange for stability.
The Northern Kingdom was destined to be in Zhaoyang’s hands in the future, so the Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array should be useful. Li Yuanqing chose the array without hesitation.
Because of this delay, the Wei clan’s Old Ancestor in the ancestral hall was alarmed, and some of the experts were also awakened.
Li Yuanqing stood outside the ancestral hall and looked at everyone with a smile. He had killed six powerful aristocratic Martial Saints. He was the last one. Since they were all gathered together, there was no need for him to conceal himself.
He can just kill them!
The Saint Extermination Stone had already been activated to its maximum effect. The original Saint Extermination Stone could only control an area within a hundred meters. However, even if it was activated to its maximum, it was only a radius of thirty meters.
But these thirty meters were enough!
The martial artists that were shrouded by the thirty meters radius instantly lost their fighting capabilities. Their cultivation states were all controlled and could not be channeled. Li Yuanqing was like cutting watermelons as he reaped these powerful beings one by one.
The Wei clan had meticulously laid down an array formation. All the martial artists gathered wanted to resist and counterattack, but it was all useless. They thought that the people who came to kill them would be a group of sacrificial soldiers.
But unexpectedly, only one person came.
It was this one person. Within fifteen minutes, everyone, including the Old Ancestor of the Wei Clan, had died on the spot outside the ancestral hall. Li Yuanqing was glad that they were all together.
By saving time like this, the Wei Clan was finished in less than fifteen minutes.
So what if they had powerful formations?
The sky was still dark and the rest of the Wei Clan did not know about it due to the isolation of the array. Li Yuanqing did not hesitate to destroy the array set up by the Wei Clan when he left.
These formations were useless to him, but to some experts who had just entered the Martial Saint realm, they could trap them to death without giving them any chance to counterattack. This was the Wei Clan’s killing weapon, so it was better to destroy it.
When he left the ancestral hall of the Wei Clan, the sky was still dark. However, Li Yuanqing had already destroyed the foundation of the seven great clans of the Northern Kingdom.
Although he was exhausted, he didn’t hesitate. He hurried straight to the Wilderness Valley and made his way back by noon. He didn’t go to see Zhaoyang, but went to the hot spring to take a shower and change his clothes.
He had killed too many people in the past two days. His body reeked of blood and baleful aura. Even if he deliberately avoided it, some of it had stained his body. He should be able to clean himself up after taking a bath.
After taking a bath, Li Yuanqing rested. When evening came, he appeared before Princess Zhaoyang in white.
Wang Shun delivered them food again.
The two siblings had dinner together and whispered to each other.
“The seven great clans are almost finished. The Li clan is weak from the core. You should take back some of the power of the aristocratic families and forbid them from building a Martial Arts Academy. If the Li clan wants to grow up and win the respect of the poor commoners, they can choose talents from among them. The aristocratic families can pay for the fees …”
While eating, Li Yuanqing gave Zhaoyang some suggestions.
The Northern Kingdom had only been established for a short period of time. During this period of time, their foundation was poor. Not only were there few martial artists, but their national treasury was also empty. However, this didn’t matter. Since the aristocratic families dared to defy the decree, then they would have to pay a price.
Digging out the treasuries of the seven aristocratic families was enough to fill the treasury of the Northern Kingdom, and it could also solve the funding problem of the Martial Arts Academy.
“Big Brother, that’s a good idea. However, the reason why the seven great clans are so arrogant is because they have too many experts. They had even more experts than the Northern Kingdom’s royal family. How can they yield so easily…”
Princess Zhaoyang did not know where Li Yuanqing had been these few days, and she did not take his words to heart. That was because it was too inconceivable and unbelievable. Not even an immortal could solve the problem of the seven great clans in three days.
“A tiger that has its teeth removed is just a pet cat. Isn’t it still at the mercy of the Li Clan? Don’t miss this opportunity. I’ll go and sleep for a while. You can return to the Imperial City tomorrow. The Seven Great Clans are no longer a threat. All that’s left is to stabilize the regime of the Northern Kingdom and let it grow quickly…”
Li Yuanqing finished his meal quickly and drank a cup of tea. He left the confused Princess Zhaoyang to rest.
The Saint Extermination Stone was a great killing weapon in his hands. It was very useful even when facing a Martial Saint. However, after killing the Wei clan’s experts, the power of the Saint Extermination Stone had obviously decreased.
Right now, he could control less than ten meters radius.
Even if a Martial Saint was turned into an ordinary Martial Artist in the end, the ten-meter radius was still too small. Therefore, Li Yuanqing planned to cultivate the Saint Extermination Stone and the Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array that he had signed.
When Li Yuanqing decided to go into seclusion, Princess Zhaoyang received a secret letter!
