Chapter 891: Getting Older, Must Have Face!
At this moment, other Peak Masters quickly protected Zhao Yuyang.
Seven Peaks Sect couldn’t afford to lose any more lives!
Even Crimson Glow Peak Master stood with them at this time.
She was a member of Seven Peaks Sect.
She had already made one wrong decision, and she couldn’t afford to make another!
However, she had forgotten the Puppet Talisman still on her. Just as she was about to move, Nanli formed a hand seal to control her, and Crimson Glow Peak Master couldn’t move at all.
Nanli advised, "Crimson Glow Peak Master, you’re not a fool, I admire you. If you wish for Seven Peaks Sect to be remembered forever, to protect the world and fulfill your master’s hopes and instructions, you shouldn’t stand with them anymore."
Crimson Glow Peak Master was furious, "Nanli, you’re slandering me! I will never leave Seven Peaks Sect and betray them!"
The female disciples of Danxia Peak also became extremely nervous and started condemning Nanli.
Yun Yubai, however, was quick-thinking, "Brothers, before you protect Zhao Yuyang, perhaps you should turn around and take a look at the Spirit Tree."
Everyone paused and looked.
Seven Peaks Sect’s Spirit Tree had originally grown on the cliff, with thick and lush branches, a massive presence. Even from a distance, it was clearly visible.
But now, the once vibrant Spirit Tree had already shed many leaves, and it was starting to show signs of withering.
"What’s going on?!"
"Why is the Spirit Tree withering?!"
"It was fine just a moment ago!"
"How is this like the Spirit Tree at Limitless Palace? This is bad! If this continues, our Spirit Tree will be completely dead in less than three days!"
Someone said this, and the others’ faces turned pale, filled with disbelief and panic.
If their master was already dead, now with the Spirit Tree withering, how would they continue cultivating?
From this moment on, they had no will to fight and were only thinking about what to do next.
Yun Yubai then added, "To understand why the Spirit Tree is like this, you’ll have to ask this Purple Sun Peak Master."
The Jade Wall Peak Master hurriedly questioned, "Sixth Junior Brother, earlier Master had you guard the Spirit Tree, you must know why it’s withering, speak up!"
Nanli and the others had never gone to the main peak after entering, so the withering of the Spirit Tree shouldn’t have anything to do with them. freёwebnoѵel.com
Moreover, the Spirit Trees of Limitless Palace, Frosty Valley, and Divine Buddha Sect had all withered as well, so there must be some reason they didn’t know.
Zhao Yuyang had already drawn most of the attention.
Nanli quickly exchanged a glance: Go!
Yun Yubai, fearing his secret might be exposed, made sure to take Crimson Glow Peak Master along with him.
Most of the people from Seven Peaks Sect were focused on their own interests and didn’t care about their departure.
Furthermore, fighting with them might cost them their lives, so it was better to take this opportunity to exit.
Zhao Yuyang could hardly defend himself.
What could he say?
If he told the truth, Master and the others would be disgraced.
If he didn’t speak... how could he escape this disaster?
The words echoed in his head, making him dizzy, and he didn’t know how to respond.
Nanli and the others had already left on their swords.
She flew the fastest and had already seen Bai Hao and Yan Luo still fighting fiercely.
Bai Hao’s spiritual power seemed to be running out.
Nanli hurriedly said, "Cinian, Six Paths Vajra Pestle!"
"Got it!" Cinian said without hesitation, tossing out the Six Paths Vajra Pestle.
Nanli quickly flew over.
As Yan Luo was about to strike down with a palm, she was already in front of him.
With the Vajra Pestle in hand, spiritual power activated, and the intricate Sanskrit characters glowed and spun on it.
Just as Yan Luo’s palm reached, it instantly tore open the evil aura.
A strong gust of wind appeared.
Yan Luo felt the burn, and the Demon Seal on his forehead also began to heat up. He quickly retreated.
Nanli wanted to pursue, but unexpectedly, Bai Hao had exhausted all his spiritual power, unable even to use his sword technique, and was falling.
"Nanli, help me!" Bai Hao shouted.
Nanli helplessly flew over and grabbed him, saying, "Why didn’t you say you’d reached your limit?"
"Getting old, must have face!" Bai Hao said with his head held high, "But I did help you stall this Yan Luo, quite a credit."
However, Bai Hao couldn’t use any spiritual power and couldn’t stay steady on Nanli’s sword. He could only be grabbed by Nanli.
Seeing this, Yan Luo sneered, "Nanli, daring to face me like this, you’re simply seeking death!"
Nanli had to protect Bai Hao, so this was a rare opportunity.
She immediately summoned several talismans, sending them flying in all directions.
"This is bad," Nanli’s face darkened.
No matter how fast she was, the talisman formation had already been formed, trapping both her and Bai Hao with Yan Luo.
Bai Hao noticed something, "This... this looks like a Soul Sacrifice Formation?"
"Exactly!" Yan Luo stopped about five meters away from them. "This formation is incredibly strong and cannot be broken. The only way to break it is to use a soul to sacrifice."
Bai Hao subconsciously looked at Nanli.
Nanli shot him a glare, "What are you looking at? Can’t you use her soul?"
Bai Hao dared not say anything more.
Yan Luo laughed to the sky, "Nanli, you overestimate yourself! In a one-on-one fight, you don’t even stand a chance against me, let alone with a burden like this."
Bai Hao still didn’t dare to speak.
Nanli said, "Looks like you’re lacking confidence, which is why you won’t face me fairly. Yan Luo, you truly are Yan Buxiu’s daughter, your whole family loves using underhanded tricks."
Mentioning Yan Buxiu, Yan Luo’s expression changed instantly, and she shouted angrily, "You’re not qualified to speak my father’s name!"
"I’ll mention it if I want to, what can you do?" Nanli said. "Yan Buxiu thought he was clever, but Qingwu outsmarted him. And you, his daughter, are also a fool. After you became possessed, you need to absorb spiritual energy to maintain your cultivation. You’re cutting off your own path."
Yan Luo’s face under the mask twisted in rage, "As long as I can kill you and avenge my family, even if I fall into eternal damnation, I will accept it!"
The grudge and honor of her family rested solely on her shoulders.
Today, she must kill Nanli!
Without saying another word, she raised her sword and attacked Nanli.
Nanli, holding Bai Hao in one hand and the Vajra Pestle in the other, found it somewhat difficult to respond.
Cinian and the others arrived and saw the three of them in the midst of the dense talisman light, all shocked.
"What is this?" Ximen Chuan wanted to break the formation.
But when he sent a strike of spiritual power, it had no effect.
Yun Yubai said, "This is a Soul Sacrifice Formation. One of them must die for the formation to break. It’s a formation used by cultivators in duels, and Yan Luo is too vicious."
Cinian asked, "Even the two of you can’t break it?"
Crimson Glow Peak Master turned her head away, unwilling to respond.
Yun Yubai answered, "With just the two of us, there’s no way. Unless we have a treasure that can break formations."
Everyone looked at each other.
Without asking, it was clear no one was rich enough for that.
But since Nanli was fighting with Bai Hao, her movements were slower. If she wasn’t careful, Yan Luo would land a sword slash on her arm.
The evil aura immediately began to flow into Nanli’s meridians.
Nanli frowned and quickly instructed Yun Jianchu, "It’s up to you now!"
