The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 877: Delivering the Knife, Killing the Mother to Take the Pill

The three of them brightened their eyes and stared intently at Sima Xin. Yan Luo was the first to ask, "Mother, your red silk has all been burned... Could it be that you are hiding some powerful immortal artifact, or perhaps a divine tool?"

Sima Xin shook her head gently, "Earlier, I had the elders of Penglai Island cultivate a certain technique. Luo’er, now all you need to do is to practice this Spirit-Draining Divine Technique, and you will be able to absorb and refine all their lifelong cultivation and spiritual energy."

With that, she took out a scroll of scriptures. Her hand trembled as she tried to hand it over to Yan Luo. However, Yan Luo dared not accept it. Although she was not particularly talented, she was not without wit. Just hearing the name of this divine technique, something seemed off. Moreover, the idea of draining all the elders’ cultivation and spiritual energy—putting it nicely, it was a divine technique; putting it bluntly, it was nothing but an evil technique!

Yan Hu was both shocked and furious, "Mother, this is an ancient demonic technique. Once practiced, one will fall into the path of demons!"

Yan Luo’s face turned pale. Sima Yue also widened his eyes, "A’xin, is this the ace you mentioned? Isn’t this a case of hurting the enemy by a hundred, but harming oneself by a thousand?" In this way, Penglai Island would not only lose all its elders and be left with no one to rely on, but it would also produce a person who falls into the path of demons. It was simply not worth it.

Sima Xin’s face turned cold, "For Penglai Island, those elders have been shirking their responsibilities. They have been enjoying the benefits of Penglai Island, but when it comes to taking risks, they are the first to run. They deserve nothing more than to be used as food for cultivation. Not to mention, there are also Nanli’s spies among them. Such a death is too lenient for them!"

Yan Hu felt a lump in his throat and could not find any words of reproach. All of this was due to Sima Xin’s heart demon. If it were not for the fact that their mother was on the brink of death, she would not have revealed this matter. However, he still tried to persuade her, "Mother, there is no need to go to such lengths. We just need to... expose that spy."

Sima Xin became angry and felt an unbearable pain in her heart meridian. She clutched her chest and glared at Yan Hu with resentment. "A’Hu, if you remain so sentimental, you will never be able to avenge our family!"

Yan Hu looked at Yan Luo, "Mother, do you know the consequences of falling into the path of demons? You are about to cut off Luo’er’s path of cultivation, and our Penglai Island... will also be condemned and despised by countless cultivators in the future, making it impossible to recover!"

"Life is almost gone, who cares about reputation?" Sima Xin was in great pain. "Nanli is becoming stronger and gaining more allies. Now even Chu Yang has taken over the Crimson Nine Lands. Can we still follow the ordinary path? Only in this way can you avenge our family and survive!"

Yan Hu wanted to say more. But at this moment, Yan Luo had already been persuaded. She immediately took the scriptures and said, "Mother, leave it to me! I will not let you down!"

"Luo’er, are you crazy? Do you know the consequences?!" Yan Hu wanted to leave the regenerative formation to take back the scriptures. But Yan Luo tightly protected the scriptures. She did not dare to show any expression on her face, but her eyes were filled with hatred.

"Second Brother, Mother is right. If we do not take the risk, we won’t even have the last chance to survive," she said. Her beloved father had died, her grandfather and Second Brother were both injured, and the elders of Penglai Island were unreliable. She had no choice but to rely on herself. She would rather pour everything into a showdown with Nanli than die in obscurity and humiliation.

"Luo’er, you are about to become a Demon Cultivator... do you know what the consequences are?" Yan Hu could not hide his heartache.

"I know! But I have nothing left to lose!" Yan Luo’s voice was fierce. Now even her mother was about to die, and her face might never be healed. If she did not become stronger, how could she have a chance to restore her appearance, or a chance to kill Shang Fei and the others?

Sima Xin nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, Luo’er, I will give you a helping hand."

While the three were still puzzled, Sima Xin had already begun to channel her energy, gathering all her remaining spiritual power into her Dantian inner pill. Without the protection of spiritual power, her heart meridian became paler and blood kept flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"Mother!" Yan Hu realized her intention and shouted in a heart-wrenching voice, "No, Mother!!"

Sima Yue also said, "A’xin, you will die immediately if you do this."

To witness Sima Xin’s death right before their eyes was something they could not accept or bear!

However, Sima Xin paid no attention to them and focused on condensing all her remaining cultivation into the inner pill. Yan Luo stopped them and said, "Mother is now only facing the difference between dying early and dying late. If you stop her, she will die with regrets."

Yan Hu suddenly felt that his sister was very unfamiliar. Sima Yue was also very sad and heartbroken, but since his daughter had made such a choice, what could he do? He could only watch quietly.

After a while, Sima Xin had gathered all her spiritual power into the inner pill. The fiery spiritual power had just burned her heart meridian clean. She sat there, unable to utter a last word, and her head drooped, her breath ceased.

"A’xin!"

"Mother!"

They were overwhelmed with grief. However, Yan Luo was only sad for a moment, and then she asked Yan Hu for a dagger. Naturally, Yan Hu would not give it to her and even reproached her, "Fourth Sister, as a daughter, how can you cut your mother’s body with a knife?"

Sima Yue was also displeased, "Luo’er, you are really unfilial."

"If I dare not quickly take out Mother’s inner pill, then I am the one who is unfilial!" Yan Luo glared at them. "The fiery spiritual power has already burned Mother’s heart meridian. Next will be the five viscera and six bowels, and soon it will reach the Dantian. Do you want to watch Mother’s cultivation and hard work go to waste?"

Yan Hu’s eyes were red, and he pursed his lips tightly, still unwilling to take out the dagger. Sima Yue calmed down and, seeing the excitement and ambition in Yan Luo’s eyes, immediately understood why his daughter had chosen to pass the divine technique to Yan Luo. Although Yan Hu had good talent, he had many constraints and hesitated at critical moments. Now only Yan Luo had the determination and courage! freёweɓnovel.com

To become stronger and to avenge their family, one had to abandon all familial ties and disregard all worldly norms! Sima Yue took out the dagger and threw it to Yan Luo, "Luo’er, go ahead! And then avenge your father and mother later!"

Yan Luo took the dagger and grinned, "Grandfather, I will definitely do it!"

She had already fallen from the heavens into the mud. So she had to seize this opportunity to make those who had humiliated her pay the price!

"Fourth Sister!"

It was too late for Yan Hu to stop her. Yan Luo had already pushed Sima Xin’s body to the ground and without hesitation, raised the dagger and stabbed it in. Feeling the fiery spiritual power, the dagger became hot. She was relieved by her decisiveness and quickly took out the inner pill. Blood was dripping. The remaining spiritual power in the Dantian seeped out.

Yan Luo held the inner pill, which was full of cultivation and spiritual power, and happily curled the corners of her mouth. Without any more words, she immediately sat cross-legged, made a hand seal to fix the inner pill in the center of her fingers, and silently recited the technique to open her meridians and absorb the spiritual power of the inner pill. This was also one of the techniques of Penglai Island. Because of this, the cultivation of each successive island master of Penglai Island would not be too low.
