The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 842: Nanli, You Finally Appeared!

But Yan Hu didn’t think so. He said:

"Nanli toyed with me, and now I will make her pay the price. Otherwise, everyone will think Penglai Island is easy to bully."

"Foster father, they are just insignificant ants. You won’t stop me, will you?"

Qingwu shrugged and turned away, "If you can’t swallow this anger, then go ahead."

Yan Hu didn’t say anything further and directly flew toward them.

Qiao Dabao and the others had just slain a mythical beast and were cheering each other on.

Suddenly, a sharp cold light flashed toward them!

The power of the spiritual energy... it was at least from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

The energy was swift and fierce. Qiao Dabao immediately felt the ominous aura approaching.

Her whole body stiffened. She was about to unleash all her spiritual power to fight back, but Elder Chen acted faster than she did.

Elder Chen blocked in front of her.

However, as a Pill Cultivator, he wasn’t strong in combat. After only one move, Elder Chen was struck in the heart and rapidly plummeted down.

"Elder Chen!"

"Elder Chen!!"

Whether it was Qiao Dabao, Lin Yifan, or the people from Seaside City, they all cried out in despair.

Lin Yifan wanted to rescue Elder Chen, but the moment Elder Chen exposed a flaw, the mythical beast below saw the opportunity, leaped up, and devoured him whole!

No trace remained!

Everyone’s heads went blank.

During this time, Elder Chen had been guiding their battles. Now that the leader was dead, their morale was shattered.

That was bad enough.

But right in front of them, someone stood in the air.

The soft moonlight illuminated him, making his face appear even colder and more ruthless.

Yan Hu had rarely appeared in the Lower Realm before, but with the Nine Heavens Fan in his hand, everyone immediately recognized his identity.

"You... you are the new island master of Penglai Island?" Qiao Dabao asked with a trembling voice.

"That’s right." Yan Hu raised an eyebrow, "What a pity. If it weren’t for that mythical beast below, you could’ve heard the old man’s last words."

Qiao Dabao’s nose tingled, her anger growing. She clenched her fists, "Penglai Island is a major sect, why resort to such despicable acts!"

"Despicable? The Water-Suppressing Pearl has long belonged to Penglai Island, but Nanli used tricks to steal it. Who is truly despicable?" Yan Hu stared at them, "I heard that when my father wanted to destroy the city, the cultivators of Jade Wolf City helped to fend it off."

At that moment, an endless killing intent erupted from him.

Qiao Dabao’s mind exploded.

They had been battling the mythical beasts for a long time, and their spiritual power was nearly exhausted. Yan Hu’s strength was far above theirs. If they fought, they would end up like Elder Chen, helpless and unable to resist!

She decisively shouted, "Return to the city!"

The others, knowing Qiao Dabao’s intentions, swiftly flew back without hesitation, their figures streaking like shooting stars, leaving no trace behind.

Yan Hu didn’t rush to strike.

He waited until Qiao Dabao and the others had returned to the city before slowly flying toward the barrier above.

He glanced at the moonlight, then at the glow of the city’s defensive array, and roughly deduced how to break the formation.

Taking a deep breath, he unfolded the Nine Heavens Fan.

"Father, third brother, I will use their lives to honor you."

Spiritual energy gathered in the fan.

He swung it forcefully.

The air stirred, and the sound of the wind was ear-piercing.

Wind blades gleamed with cold light, slashing toward Seaside City.

Yuan Zhenhai saw the wind blades reflected in his eyes. His hands and feet turned cold, and he almost screamed, "Hold the formation!"

No cultivator stood by idly.

Even Qi Refining cultivators used their meager spiritual power to support the formation.

However—

When the wind blades hit the defensive array, their power was so immense that they immediately tore through several holes in the already damaged formation.

Those high-IQ mythical beasts saw this and immediately roared. The mythical beasts from all directions exerted their strength, crashing toward the formation.

With a tremendous crash.

The defensive array completely shattered.

The ground trembled, buildings collapsed, and even the once-impregnable city walls were damaged.

What made them even more desperate was that the remaining wind blades continued to cut through the bodies of the cultivators on the city walls.

Golden Core cultivators like Qiao Dabao were still somewhat fine, but those at the Base Building stage suffered severe injuries. As for Qi Refining cultivators, they were directly slain by the wind blades.

Blood flowed like rivers.

The mythical beasts, having tasted the blood of cultivators, their eyes reddened, and they began to rampage through the city.

Without the protection of the defensive array, the mythical beasts surged forward, unstoppable.

One particularly large mythical beast quickly climbed the city wall.

It moved at incredible speed, devouring cultivators as it climbed.

At the critical moment, Yuan Zhenhai, struggling under the weight of his injuries, leaped onto the mythical beast’s weak spot, plunging his sword into it.

The mythical beast howled in pain, twisting its body.

But it had been stabbed at its weak point, and soon, it stopped moving.

That strike had exhausted all of Yuan Zhenhai’s spiritual power.

He regretted not being more cautious earlier, or else he wouldn’t have been so weak now. After slaying a mythical beast, he had collapsed.

His mind was in disarray. He clutched his chest and vomited blood, unable to move an inch more.

But then, another enormous mythical beast opened its massive jaws, intending to swallow them all.

Qiao Dabao was already fighting other mythical beasts and could only shout, "Lord Yuan, you must leave!"

Lin Yifan was also badly injured and couldn’t help, "Just roll back, it can’t reach you!"

Yuan Zhenhai smiled bitterly.

How could he not know?

But right now...

He was completely exhausted, and his blood loss was too severe. He could barely move.

At that moment, the mythical beast swallowed several cultivators, including Yuan Zhenhai.

Yuan Zhenhai closed his eyes, waiting to be chewed up and swallowed by the mythical beast.

To his surprise, a voice suddenly cried out, "Someone is coming to save us!"

Yuan Zhenhai froze and opened his eyes.

He saw a figure descending. Her clothes fluttered as she effortlessly pried the mythical beast’s mouth open with one hand and foot.

She frowned slightly, her beauty overwhelming.

With her other hand, she threw several paper talismans, which transformed into paper figures. These figures dragged them out from the mythical beast’s mouth.

Nanli then withdrew her hands and feet, stepping back.

The mythical beast, furious that someone dared to ruin its feast, whipped its spiked tail toward her.

Nanli snorted lightly. The Sky-Tearing Sword was drawn, and without moving a step, she slashed with the sword. Several sword energies flew out, severing the tail and splitting the mythical beast into several sections. It crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Nanli..." Yuan Zhenhai gazed at her dazedly, his eyes locked on her, "You... you finally came."

Seeing him covered in blood, Nanli felt guilty. "I’m sorry, I’m late."

She had known something was wrong here, but she had been setting up a formation at Hundred Pass Town and couldn’t leave.

She took out a bag of Wound-Healing Pills and handed them to the paper figures, instructing them to feed the others to prevent their injuries from worsening.

Yuan Zhenhai, a grown man, whimpered softly and shook his head, "No, you shouldn’t have come."

Because Yan Hu was here.

And Qingwu was here too!

As expected, at that moment, Yan Hu saw Nanli and erupted in fury: "Nanli, you finally appeared!"
