The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 917: Sudden Attack, Greetings Princess Chuyun!
Chapter 917: Sudden Attack, Greetings Princess Chuyun!
Bai Hao’s face turned pale as he looked at Yun Yubai. "Has the Demon Clan Asura come? Yun Yubai, it must be here for you!"
These people had only recovered two or three tenths of their spiritual energy, after all, Jialan had no spiritual energy left.
"Stop guessing, let’s go out and see," Siheng said, already moving ahead.
Nanli naturally did not follow. Yun Yubai was still injured, and she had to ensure his safety.
At the same time, she said to Crimson Nine Lands, "We’ll discuss this later."
At this point, she had no intention of hiding the fact that Yun Jianchu’s soul was inside her body.
Perhaps, by combining what Yun Jianchu had said, they could begin to deduce the real truth about the past.
Crimson Nine Lands nodded. "Don’t worry. I will keep the greater picture in mind."
The group stepped outside.
A bright full moon hung high in the sky.
Siheng shot out a few waves of spiritual power, forcing the attacker to stop their assault on the array.
Outside the array, a person in a black robe hovered in the air. She held a dark battle axe, exuding a chilling demonic aura that spread under the moonlight.
"It’s you!" Qiao Nanyi recognized her at once.
It was the Demon Clan Asura who had gravely injured him on Penglai Island!
Nanli immediately recognized the battle axe.
"No wonder you wanted to stop her; she’s wielding the Heavenly Destruction Battle Axe, a weapon with immense destructive power. It can even break through most of the world’s protective arrays."
Jialan’s array was holding up because it used the Sky Plough Pearl. But if it were struck a few more times, cracks would start to appear.
Crimson Nine Lands, whose temper was the shortest, immediately cursed, "Damn you, Demon Clan, how dare you!"
He transformed into a spear and charged directly at the black-robed person.
The barrier had no effect on him.
The spear tip blazed with fire as he aimed it at the black-robed person.
"A spear dares to boast!" The black-robed figure raised her battle axe and swung it forward, gathering demonic power.
Her strength was overwhelming.
It seemed as if the night sky itself would be cleaved in half!
The winds howled and even impacted the entire Jialan Celestial Mountain.
Chu Yang immediately recognized the black-robed person’s power. His heart tightened. "Come back!"
At that moment, Crimson Nine Lands hesitated.
He had forgotten that it had been millennia since then, and his master was now only at the Nascent Soul stage, without the strength of an immortal. There was no way he could match the power of that battle axe.
Thankfully, Chu Yang was calling him back.
Crimson Nine Lands quickly tried to retreat.
But suddenly, figures emerged on both sides, their bodies radiating demonic energy. They formed a cage, trapping him within!
"Master!" Crimson Nine Lands panicked.
The battle axe was about to strike, and if it hit him, even if his spear didn’t break, his weapon would surely shatter!
Chu Yang wouldn’t abandon his contracted weapon; he rushed over.
"Siheng!" Even faster than him, Nanli tossed the Sky-Tearing Sword into the fray and followed it up, casting a spell to open a crack in the array.
Siheng took the Sky-Tearing Sword and instantly teleported forward.
The blade was drawn.
The winds intensified.
Just as the battle axe was about to strike Crimson Nine Lands, Siheng’s sword blocked it.
A sharp clang echoed, and a shockwave spread in all directions.
At the same time, Nanli held the Dark Moon Sword and called out, "I’ll take the east side!"
Chu Yang understood her intent and took the right side, wielding his sword to cut through the demonic array.
The two of them attacked at the same time, and the demonic array finally collapsed.
Crimson Nine Lands was freed.
He quickly returned to Chu Yang’s side.
He swung his spear, trying to destroy the Demon Clan’s shadowy figures, but they were only wisps of smoke.
Then the smoke reformed.
Chu Yang froze.
What was this?
How long could his spiritual power last at this rate?
The black-robed figure and the demonic shadowy figures exchanged blows.
Cinian, watching from below, considered using the Vajra Pestle to assist.
Bai Hao quickly pulled him back. "Are you crazy? Your spiritual power won’t help; it’ll only make things worse!"
This Demon Clan person was much stronger than Zhai Xing!
Qing Feng was equally shocked. "Qiao Nanyi, you... you were injured by her, weren’t you? Honestly, you’re lucky to be alive."
Qiao Nanyi had planned to help, but the pain from his chest flared up.
It was probably the lingering demonic energy from the Asura Blood Curse Palm...
At this moment, more demonic figures appeared, and they attacked simultaneously, aiming to kill Nanli!
"A’Li!" Yun Yubai’s heart hung in the balance as he raised the Vajra Umbrella to help.
Ximen Chuan was quick to hold him back.
His voice was cold. "Master Yun, your current condition is not suited for battle."
Yun Yubai glared at him. "I just want to save her!"
"Who knows if you’re saving her or trying to return to your own kind?" Ximen Chuan replied calmly. "Don’t blame me; I’m just being cautious."
Yun Yubai had no choice but to raise the Vajra Umbrella.
The Vajra Umbrella, in response to its master’s command, flew swiftly to Nanli’s side.
It spun rapidly.
The Five Elements Trigram Formation unfolded in the air, and golden light illuminated the night sky.
The umbrella shielded Nanli, allowing her to catch her breath.
She didn’t bring the Vajra Umbrella back but instead immediately took out the Heaven Star Brush and began sketching a talisman.
"Siheng!" Once she finished drawing, she quickly activated the talisman.
Siheng retreated, and the talisman landed on his sword.
He struck out with his sword.
The blade surged like a dragon leaping from the sea, shaking the heavens. All the demonic shadows were shattered.
The black-robed figure quickly raised her battle axe to block.
But the sword’s energy still suppressed her demonic power, and she couldn’t use her technique for a while.
Siheng had just healed Qiao Nanyi yesterday, and his spiritual energy was running low.
He knew that they couldn’t continue fighting, so he signaled for Nanli and Chu Yang to return to the array, following closely behind.
The black-robed figure did not continue to attack.
She sheathed her battle axe and removed her hood.
Her face was stunningly beautiful and alluring.
Her red eyes were filled with excited heat.
She crossed her arms and bowed respectfully. "Shang Jue pays respects to Princess Chuyun, pays respects to the young master."
She was addressing both Nanli and Yun Yubai.
Everyone was confused.
Why would she bow to Yun Yubai? And why to Princess Chuyun? Was Princess Chuyun really inside the Vajra Umbrella?
Yun Yubai’s face stiffened.
He, of course, knew his identity. But Princess Chuyun...
"A’Li, be careful!" he shouted.
Siheng reacted faster and shielded Nanli.
But it was too late.
The moment they landed, Qiao Nanyi appeared behind Nanli.
His eyes were vacant, and he quickly struck, sending a strand of demonic energy directly into Nanli’s body!
The sudden change stunned everyone.
"Nanli, Master!"
"Nanli Divine Sovereign!"
"Sixth sister!"
The voices echoed. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Qiao Nanyi was pushed back.
Siheng quickly formed a spell, touching Nanli’s forehead, trying to draw out the demonic energy.
But it was futile.
Nanli’s eyes were tightly closed, and the Asura Demon Seal on her forehead flickered in and out of sight.
"What’s going on?!" Bai Hao reacted. "Isn’t she the reincarnation of a Divine Sovereign? How could she have the Asura Demon Seal? Was that demonic energy really so powerful?!"
"Of course not," Shang Jue replied with a smile. "The demonic energy I sent in was only to break the seal within her body, allowing Princess Chuyun’s Demon Soul to fully merge into her body!"
