The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 882: I Admit Defeat, I’ll Return the Glassy Bottle to You in One Piece

Chapter 882: I Admit Defeat, I’ll Return the Glassy Bottle to You in One Piece

As they landed on Yunxiao Peak, Crimson Glow Peak Master felt a strange lightheadedness, almost stumbling and falling to the ground. Fortunately, with the Puppet Talisman on her, Nanli controlled it, steadying Crimson Glow Peak Master’s form.

Yun Shen, returning to Yunxiao Peak, couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest, his eyes turning red as he rushed towards the cave to check. However, to his surprise, a protective array blocked his path, preventing him from entering.

Seeing this, Jade Wall Peak Master immediately spoke, "Yun Shen, do you see? Junior Brother is clearly in closed-door meditation! Do you dare disturb him? Are you trying to harm Junior Brother’s cultivation?"

Misty Peak Master added, "Exactly. Yun Shen, how could you be so vile! You’re colluding with Nanli, aren’t you? You probably want to take down the strongest force of our Seven Peaks Sect first!"

Snowy Peak Master snorted, "Nanli, you have such deep scheming! Zen Master Cinian, I’ve always respected you, but now I see you’re working together with Nanli. It’s truly despicable!"

At this moment, Crimson Glow Peak Master, controlled by Nanli, dared not speak up.

Nanli stepped closer to the cave entrance, sensing the chilling aura that greeted her. The Ten-Miles Frozen poison was indeed formidable. Even with the protective array in place, the cold couldn’t be blocked. She pointed at the frost covering the cave, "Master Yun has been poisoned by the cold. The poison is already spreading, and even here, you can see the frost. Ji Chengyi’s cultivation has been deteriorating, right? He must have been exposed to the Thousand Miles of Ice poison before."

Misty Peak Master didn’t even glance in her direction, dismissing her words, "Junior Brother is at the Deity Forming stage; he wouldn’t fall victim to such schemes!"

Jade Wall Peak Master, ever loyal, added, "If you dare slander our Sect Master, I will not let you get away with it!"

Ximen Chuan sneered, "If the people you trust want to harm you, it’s not that hard to do. Don’t rush to defend Ji Chengyi. Once the array is broken, the truth will come out, won’t it?"

The three of them could indeed feel the cold, and the trees on Yunxiao Peak were already covered with frost. They couldn’t help but doubt Nanli’s words.

Could it be true, as Nanli said?

Before they could think any further, their waist tokens vibrated. Sect Master had called for them!

Given the situation, they no longer had the luxury of hesitation. The three of them, already aware of the situation, stood at the edge. At Jade Wall Peak Master’s command, they immediately mounted their swords and flew off.

Meanwhile, Nanli and her group didn’t seem in a hurry to chase them. They seemed to have expected this, remaining calm.

Crimson Glow Peak Master thought they were unaware and taunted, "Sect Master has already issued an order. Once they return, the Sky Net Formation will be activated. If you don’t want to die, leave Seven Peaks Sect immediately!"

She glanced at Yun Shen. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave! Even though you carry the Seven Peaks Sect’s insignia and won’t be killed, once they’re gone, you won’t survive either!"

Nanli raised an eyebrow, "Crimson Glow Peak Master does have some conscience."

Crimson Glow Peak Master froze, her expression stiffening. "Although he’s talking nonsense, I’ve watched him grow up. He’s also Junior Brother’s only disciple. How could I bear to see him fall?"

She sighed, then turned to Nanli, "Nanli, I don’t know what you’re planning, but if you don’t listen to my advice, you and your people will die here!"

Nanli shook her head, "I haven’t saved Master Yun yet, so I’m not backing down now." She then summoned a talisman, sending a beam of light soaring into the sky.

The light lingered in the air for a moment, before splitting into four beams, each heading towards one of the four directions. Bai Hao, Cinian, Ximen Chuan, and Shandu were all ready, flying to their respective positions.

Once they were in place, Nanli produced a main talisman and thrust it into the ground with her Dark Moon Sword. Golden light shot into the sky, gathering into an intricate, mighty Vajra spell array.

Eleven Shans, seated in meditation around the array, infused it with spiritual energy, ensuring the formation was impenetrable and solid.

Crimson Glow Peak Master stared in shock, her eyes widening, "Is this... is this the talisman you drew?"

Ji Chengyi and the four Peak Masters must have already positioned themselves to activate the Sky Net Formation, and the sky above Seven Peaks Sect was now swirling with dark clouds, bringing a tremendous sense of oppression.

Nanli observed the changes in the spiritual energy around them and casually remarked, "Who else but me?"

Crimson Glow Peak Master was shaken. She hadn’t expected Nanli to have such mastery in talisman arrays. But she quickly sighed, shaking her head, "It’s a pity. With Sect Master controlling the Sky Net Formation, it’s far beyond what your Vajra Formation can withstand."

Nanli smiled, "Not necessarily. Without you and Master Yun, the Sky Net Formation’s power is reduced by thirty percent. The people here are just enough to counter it."

Crimson Glow Peak Master replied, "Your talismans are indeed impressive, but you’re too arrogant."

At that moment, the Sky Net Formation was charged and ready. From each of the five peaks, countless blue and silver rays of cold light shot out, heading straight for Yunxiao Peak.

The disciples of Seven Peaks Sect gasped. The rain of light was so dense that even the swiftest spirit birds flying through the sky were reduced to mere dust, their bodies obliterated. How could a mere human withstand such power?

Anyone who dared challenge Seven Peaks Sect would meet this fate!

The cold light fell with overwhelming speed. The blinding glow was accompanied by deafening sounds.

Yunxiao Peak was fully enveloped in the Vajra formation, with the cold light continuing to descend. Yet, the talisman array remained intact, the spell seals still holding firm.

Crimson Glow Peak Master couldn’t tell how the four others were doing, but the eleven Shans remained perfectly calm. There was no sign of panic, nor any indication that the array was weakening.

It truly was indestructible, like a diamond.

Even if another wave of cold light came, it wouldn’t be able to break through the formation.

Her eyes widened further as disbelief filled her voice, "How... how could this happen?"

Seeing that the formation was holding up, Nanli let out a sigh of relief. "Is this really all they’ve got? Looks like I overestimated them."

Crimson Glow Peak Master was furious, "Don’t be so smug. Sect Master must be testing the waters. He hasn’t shown his full power yet."

Nanli shrugged. "Seems like you still don’t believe Ji Chengyi’s cultivation has deteriorated."

With a flick of her finger, she made Crimson Glow Peak Master take out the Telestone, ready to communicate with Ji Chengyi.

As expected, after the first wave of cold light, the Vajra Formation showed no signs of damage.

Ji Chengyi’s voice soon came through the Telestone, "Nanli! It’s you?!"

"Yes, it’s me," Nanli replied. "Ji Chengyi, you’ve turned the Sky Net Formation into this. Do you think you deserve to be the Sect Master of Seven Peaks Sect? Even your junior sister can’t stand it anymore. Stop hiding and show your real abilities, or Seven Peaks Sect will be disgraced."

Crimson Glow Peak Master shouted, "I never said anything like that!"

Although, in her heart, she felt the same way.

Ji Chengyi, now furious, ground his teeth. His voice, though strained, came through, "Nanli, isn’t this all because of the Glassy Bottle? I admit defeat. If you spare me and Seven Peaks Sect, take your people and leave. I will return the Glassy Bottle to you in perfect condition."
