Exiled to the Frontier, He Became the Empire’s Most Powerful Lord - Chapter 19

At the summit, there is a sword mound, where countless famous swords from around the world are buried!

Countless powerful sword masters would enter the sword tomb at the end of their lives, burying themselves and the longsword that accompanied them there.

Once the younger disciples break through to the fifth rank, they will enter the Sword Tomb to seek their own opportunities.

Ning Qingxue sat cross-legged on a blue stone in front of the sword mound!

A seemingly ordinary longsword lay horizontally on his lap.

She wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, but she was extremely aloof.

A faint sword aura flickered between his brows, which was extremely astonishing.

At the age of seventeen, Ning Qingxue comprehended the realm of sword heart enlightenment in the Haoran Sword Manual, becoming the youngest peak third-rank grandmaster in the history of the Haoran Sword Sect.

Moreover, sword cultivators possess unparalleled fighting spirit, charging forward without hesitation and never giving up, so even if she were to face a sword cultivator at the initial stage of the second rank, she would not be outmatched.

Rumor has it that a Grandmaster once predicted that Ning Qingxue might break through to the peak of the second rank within ten years, or even get infinitely close to becoming a Grandmaster.

If it’s true, then it’s truly unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.

Ning Qingxue has been taking turns guarding the Sword Tomb for the past year in order to hone her mental strength and make her cultivation even stronger.

“Holy Maiden, something terrible has happened!”

A stunningly beautiful little girl suddenly ran up the mountain, shouting loudly.

Ning Qingxue suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and the long sword on her lap made a soft sound as it automatically fell into its sheath.

She suddenly stood up, her figure slender and graceful, her long legs remarkably straight and supple.

“Loli, how many times have I told you, don’t panic when something happens!”

Ning Qingxue said in a cold voice.

This is the last disciple of the sect leader of the Haoran Sword Sect, a prodigy little girl with unparalleled swordsmanship talent.

Unfortunately, their intelligence is sometimes a cause for concern.

“Oh dear, I heard that you, Holy Maiden, have a newly engaged fiancé, and he’s a scumbag who does all sorts of evil things!”

Lori patted her chest lightly as she spoke.

“The deposed crown prince?”

Suddenly, the image of a five- or six-year-old boy appeared in Ning Qingxue’s mind.

She was naturally aware of Zhou Lingfeng’s existence!

However, after joining the Haoran Sword Sect, she never returned to Shengjing.

She had only heard about what happened three years ago and hadn’t paid much attention to it.

“Yes! That deposed crown prince is truly despicable; he even tried to defile his own sister-in-law!”

Lori said indignantly.

If it weren’t for the sect leader’s prohibition against her leaving the mountain before advancing to the third-grade grandmaster realm, she would have loved to go down right now and kill that scumbag with a single sword strike.

Ning Qingxue frowned slightly!

Zhou Lingfeng has been crippled for three years, so why is this kind of news circulating now? Something is clearly not right.

However, this was clearly aimed at Zhou Lingfeng and had nothing to do with her!

She was completely absorbed in martial arts, thinking only about how to break through to the second rank as soon as possible, and didn’t want to care about mundane things like her fiancé at all.

“I never agreed to such a marriage! As for what happens to the deposed crown prince, that’s none of my business!”

Ning Qingxue said calmly.

“Oh dear, how could it be unrelated! The whole world has heard that many martial arts prodigies are going to cause trouble for the deposed crown prince!”

Lori said immediately.

“You really have a lot of free time! I don’t care at all!”

Ning Qingxue grabbed the little girl’s arm and led her directly into the Sword Tomb.

“Holy Maiden, what are you doing!”

The little girl screamed, clearly not wanting to go into the Sword Tomb, which was full of dead bones and terrifying.

“From this moment on, you will be in seclusion in the Sword Tomb and will not be allowed to come out until you break through to the third-grade Grandmaster realm!”

Ning Qingxue shouted sternly.

The little girl had a long face, but in the end she was still sent to the Sword Tomb!

However, she was taking her good fortune for granted. You should know that many martial artists dream of entering the Sword Tomb but never get the chance, yet she was complaining about it.

“What business is it of yours if a breeze ripples the autumn water?”

“Life is short, only a few decades, but the path of martial arts is long and arduous!”

Ning Qingxue shook her head, sat down cross-legged again, and began to comprehend the profound mysteries within the Vast Sword Manual.

“The deposed crown prince Zhou Lingfeng? Just a useless vassal king exiled to a remote border town!”

“By the way, it was the barbarian king, which means he was extremely vulgar and brainless, the first prince to be exiled from the capital.”

“This guy has already been abandoned by the higher-ups. He’s also a cripple. He has no chance of fighting for power in the future, and it’s impossible for him to have any further dealings with Saintess Ning!”

“Yes, Ning Qingxue can only be mine!”

Inside the Divine Fire Sect, a young man in purple robes was seething with rage.

The Divine Fire Sect is one of the top sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its strength and status are even above those of the Cloud Heart Palace!

This purple-robed youth was Wanyan Mingkang, the young master of the Divine Fire Sect, a powerful expert at the peak of the third-grade Grandmaster realm.

“Issue this sect mission for me! Whoever kills the deposed Crown Prince Zhou Lingfeng will be rewarded with three Breakthrough Pills!”

Wanyan Mingkang gave instructions to his subordinates.

Breakthrough Pill: Anyone who takes this pill at the fourth rank of the Innate Realm will definitely break through to the next realm!

But he will never hope to reach the second rank in his lifetime!

This might seem like a bit of a gimmick, but for some fourth-grade innate realm cultivators with average martial arts talent, it is incredibly tempting.

Even a third-grade Grandmaster would take action for this!

After all, these three Breakthrough Pills can elevate the younger generation of the family to the third rank, thus continuing the family’s fortune.

“They even arranged a marriage for me?”

Meanwhile, in Python City, Zhou Lingfeng touched his nose.

There are suspicions that the newly established Inspectorate may have been spreading false information due to the inexperience of its agents.

“Your Highness, there is absolutely no mistake! Your fiancée is Ning Qingxue, the eldest daughter of Prince Ning and the Holy Maiden of the Haoran Sword Sect! She is only seventeen years old and is already a third-grade Grandmaster sword cultivator!”

“If she could come to your side, then you would be absolutely safe!”

Hong Jiuming said very solemnly.

Ning Qingxue is truly a darling of the heavens. Although her beauty may not be at its peak, the heavens have not closed any doors for her.

“So amazing! Isn’t she the legendary woman of destiny?”

“It seems Your Majesty has a good intention!”

Zhou Lingfeng snorted coldly, thinking to himself that this was naturally not a good thing.

The Empress’s suicide and the Crown Prince’s deposition were all part of a larger scheme orchestrated by various factions.

Almost a week after he left Shengjing, Emperor Yuanwu suddenly bestowed a marriage upon him, pulling a move that even he found somewhat illogical.

But thinking about it, this must have been the idea of ​​the Imperial Advisor, Princess Zhaoyang.

Only His Majesty listens to this woman the most.

“What a vengeful woman.”

Zhou Lingfeng sighed. It seemed that leaving behind his message had indeed had a significant effect.

However, Ning Qingxue is already at the peak of the third rank, so she definitely wouldn’t look down on him.

Given Prince Ning’s current situation, it’s impossible for him to marry a deposed crown prince.

This is yet another new game!

“Furthermore, the young master of the Divine Fire Sect has issued a sect mission: anyone who successfully kills you will receive three Breakthrough Pills!”

Hong Jiuming said very carefully.

“It seems someone is trying to use another person to do their dirty work!”

Zhou Lingfeng couldn’t help but sneer.

The image of Chang Ningshuang suddenly appeared in his mind; it was most likely this woman.

They’re really trying to put themselves in a deadly situation.

However, it must be said that this woman’s figure is really amazing; she is undoubtedly a woman with a very voluptuous figure.

These dumplings are delicious, and my sister-in-law is really fun.
