This Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor was extremely unwilling. He had already broken through to Martial Saint and had been hiding for many years. He had also been secretly observing. When the founding Martial Saint of the Northern Kingdom died without a sound, he continued to hide for another ten years.
After confirming that there was no one left in the Northern Kingdom who could suppress them, he jumped out.
That was why the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor was extremely cautious. He was in hiding for all these years until he saw Li Yuanqing today. This Saint Extermination Stone was extremely tyrannical. Li Yuanqing had obtained it for many years before using it today.
Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor was also someone who knew his stuff. He knew that he could not resist it at all once he saw the Saint Extermination Stone so he could only escape! While there is life, there is hope. If he could not defeat him, he could only flee. As long as he could escape this calamity, the Zhao clan would be able to rise again!
However, even though the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor thought it through, how could there be such an easy thing in this world? Could he truly escape from the Saint Extermination Stone?
He wanted to escape, but before he could escape, he was heavily pressed down by the Saint Extermination Stone. The Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor, who was originally a Martial Saint, was killed by the Saint Extermination Stone like an ordinary person!
The magical thing about the Saint Extermination Stone was that even a Martial Saint expert who had achieved the Greater Mastery of the Martial Saint realm would not be able to activate his cultivation under its attacks. That was why it was called the Saint Extermination Stone.
But how could the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor know?
Just like that, he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to. His life was gone just like that!
Li Yuanqing was a little surprised that he died without any hesitation. This was his first time using the Saint Extermination Stone. He did not expect it to be so effective. He did not even use his Clear Sky Sword. That was too easy!
After keeping the Saint Extermination Stone, Li Yuanqing could still feel the surging power within it. Even after killing the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor, the power within the stone did not seem to decrease much.
This must be the result of Li Yuanqing’s hard work over the years.
Initially, when Li Yuanqing was about to leave after killing the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor, he suddenly recalled that the Zhao clan was an aristocratic family. There were quite a number of people other than the Old Ancestor. Since he was here, he might as well settle the matter properly.
Therefore, he looked around and killed the Zhao clan’s patriarch and several elders.
They had to be prepared to bear the consequences since they dared to defy the decree with such confidence and dared to overthrow the Northern Kingdom. However, Li Yuanqing thought as he left after killing the patriarch and elders that it was quite funny that no one in the entire Zhao clan’s old mansion had discovered him.
The attendant who brought the tea did not hear any response when he knocked on the door. He placed the hot tea on the table and left quietly, completely unaware that Li Yuanqing, who was standing not far away from him, had already killed the entire heads of the Zhao clan.
He only left behind some servants, and some distant relatives of the Zhao clan. He did not exterminate them all, mainly because there was too little time and he could not figure out who was innocent.
Although the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor was detestable, there was no need to kill the innocent.
After leaving the Zhao clan, Li Yuanqing headed to the Han clan of the Northern Kingdom without delay.
The Han Clan wasn’t very far from the Zhao Clan. They were located on flat plains, and there were fertile crops and rice fields everywhere. Their old mansion was built like a maze, and every road was almost the same. Furthermore, every courtyard had the same door. Even the roadside was filled with trees that were trimmed in the same manner.
It was easy for people who were not familiar to get lost.
Therefore, there were not many people on guard in the Han clan’s old mansion. There were almost no guards, because even if someone entered their old mansion, they would only walk around in circles. It was very difficult to walk out.
Li Yuanqing did not get lost. That was because the moment he approached the Han clan’s old mansion, he locked onto the strongest Martial Saint, the Old Ancestor of the Han clan.
There were quite a few other members of the Han clan who had a strong aura. Li Yuanqing spent some time locking onto all of them and saw them gathered together for a discussion.
They were still talking about the Northern Kingdom and the aristocratic families. Li Yuanqing decided to listen a little more. There were not many people in the meeting room, but the words they said were bold and reckless.
In the first seat was the Old Ancestor of the Han clan with white hair, who was resting with his eyes closed. However, he did not notice Li Yuanqing’s movements.
“The Northern Kingdom’s fate has already come to an end. A former Crown Prince’s meridians have been crippled, and he is now a cripple. The second and third princes are all dead, and the fourth prince is also a cripple. None of the four princes are of any use. Li Huanjun had no choice but to push Princess Zhaoyang out. Hahahaha, and he’s even conferring a title of the Crown Princess. In my opinion, the Old Ancestors of our seven great clans might as well directly enter the imperial city and force them to abdicate!”
“That’s right. Let Li Huanjun abdicate and give the throne of the Northern Kingdom to our family. I’ll elect Second Brother as the Emperor. No matter what, he’s stronger than Li Huanjun’s princes and princesses. I’ll choose Second Brother!”
“We haven’t confirmed who will be the Emperor yet. The Old Ancestors have to draw lots to discuss this. Our Han clan has some chances!”
—
The Han clan was basically talking about forcing the Emperor to abdicate and making them the emperor. This made Li Yuanqing, who was standing outside the door, feel that it was extremely ridiculous. These people were really daring. They were so straightforward about the rebellion that no one inside could be spared.
At the thought of this, Li Yuanqing pushed open the door and walked into the meeting hall. There were more than ten disciples of the Han clan here. When they saw him walk in so openly, everyone was stunned.
They did not react. That was because Li Yuanqing was like an immortal, with an aura that others could only look up to. However, this was the meeting hall of the Han clan. Not to mention outsiders, even ordinary disciples of the Han clan were not qualified to come here.
Who was this person that suddenly appeared? What was he trying to do?
“Who are you?” The Old Ancestor of the Han clan reacted faster and stood up with a loud cry. He could tell that Li Yuanqing was extraordinary because of his high cultivation level. The person who he could not see through was the scariest.
Moreover, the words that his children and grandchildren had said just now were all disgraceful words. They were now in the Northern Kingdom. If these words were to spread out, their entire family would be executed.
So who was this person?
No matter what he wanted to do, he couldn’t walk out of this meeting hall alive. Although the Northern Kingdom’s royal family was useless, the Han Family would be pushed into the limelight when he left.
Therefore, the Old Ancestor of the Han clan secretly gave a signal with his eyes. The dozen Han clan disciples surrounded Li Yuanqing in the middle.
At this time, in the old mansion of the Zhao clan, the deaths of the Zhao clan’s Old Ancestor and patriarch had finally been discovered. The old mansion of the Zhao clan began to ring with the sound of rushing bells. The entire Zhao clan was in chaos, and only now did someone remember that they had to hurry and inform the remaining six great clans that such a major incident had happened, so that they could avenge the Zhao clan!
