The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 890: The Last Move, Regaining Power

Nanli turned around, seemingly unconcerned.

She spoke slowly, "If I kill him, I’ll naturally be able to take back my Glassy Bottle."

But Zhao Yuyang raised the Glassy Bottle and spoke coldly, "In that case, let’s both perish together! If you dare lay a hand on the sect leader, I’ll shatter the Glassy Bottle immediately!"

The Glassy Bottle was specially made and had a seal. If it were shattered, the power within it would naturally dissipate.

"Let’s talk this through! Let’s talk this through!" Cinian, aware of the importance of the Glassy Bottle, quickly waved his hand to stop them.

Yun Yubai pressed his lips together. After struggling for a while, he finally spoke, "A’Li, that’s your thing, it’s crucial. Think carefully."

He had already caused Nanli to lose one Glassy Bottle, and he couldn’t just watch her lose another.

Everyone was nervous and on edge, but for a moment, no one noticed Yun Yubai’s change in how he addressed Nanli.

Nanli chuckled lightly. "While I do want to take back the Glassy Bottle to regain my power, what I want more is to kill those who have harmed me!"

Her smile was cold.

It was cruel.

With a flick of her wrist, Ji Chengyi’s tongue was sliced off!

"Sect Leader!"

Several people shouted, their fury evident.

"Nanli, you’re too cruel!" Jade Wall Peak Master’s eyes turned red, and his body trembled with rage.

Zhao Yuyang was also shocked. He hadn’t expected Nanli to be willing to give up her Glassy Bottle just to avenge the past.

They all wanted to rush forward.

But Nanli had a sword pressed against Ji Chengyi’s neck, and even Ji Chengyi, who was in excruciating pain, didn’t dare to move. Let alone them.

Crimson Glow Peak Master, having spent a brief moment with Nanli, knew she wasn’t unreasonable.

She quickly suppressed her inner anger and persuaded, "Nanli, whatever grievances you have with the sect leader, you can speak them out in front of everyone. We, Seven Peaks Sect, will not favor anyone. But you are torturing our sect leader for no reason. Today, we may not be able to defeat you, but we will remember this grudge. Even if it costs us everything, we will avenge our sect leader!"

"Right! We’ll definitely avenge him!"

The disciples of Seven Peaks Sect shouted in unison.

But their pressure had no effect on Nanli.

The more they shouted, the colder Nanli’s smile became.

"Actually..." Cinian also wanted to expose Ji Chengyi’s wrongdoings.

"Cinian." Nanli interrupted him.

"There’s no need to air my grievances out in public," Nanli said, "They have received kindness, so how could they ever think Ji Chengyi’s actions were wrong? And as for my revenge, no one else needs to judge whether it’s right or wrong."

Cinian immediately understood her meaning.

But Yun Yubai, still concerned about Nanli’s condition, said, "He is indeed hateful, but you can’t just give up on the Glassy Bottle. It’s a part of you!"

Nanli, annoyed by the noise, said, "The power in the Glassy Bottle is slowly weakening."

She then raised her head and fixed her gaze on Zhao Yuyang.

"He’s already poisoned it." Nanli said, without mercy, as she pierced Ji Chengyi’s chest with the Sky-Tearing Sword. "Zhao Yuyang, don’t blame me. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you."

The sword hadn’t yet pierced his heart.

Ji Chengyi opened his blood-filled mouth, trying to call for help.

Nanli raised her sword again, severing his limbs.

Everyone there gasped in shock.

It was simply too brutal.

But only Cinian and Yun Yubai understood that this wasn’t cruelty; it was merely repaying a debt in kind.

Jade Wall Peak Master and the others could no longer hold back.

They disregarded their own lives and leaped forward.

Even if they couldn’t save the sect leader, they would make sure Nanli died!

But as soon as they moved, Cinian, Ximen Chuan, and Yun Yubai quickly stood in their way.

They couldn’t get close at all!

The final blow.

Nanli, her face expressionless, swung her sword down and decapitated Ji Chengyi, rendering him lifeless.

His head rolled down the slope, blood trailing behind it.

The disciples of Seven Peaks Sect never imagined that Ji Chengyi would die here, and in such a manner.

They were so frightened their faces turned pale, and they took a few steps back.

Zhao Yuyang, in a daze, staggered forward two steps before his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Sect leader..."

He mumbled, but at the last moment, an endless hatred grew in his eyes.

Before poisoning Ji Chengyi, he had taken a fragment of a soul core from the bottle.

Though he couldn’t absorb its power, he used the fragment as a catalyst!

His gaze turned cold as he flung the fragment away.

Then, with a struggling expression, he threw the Glassy Bottle into the air and shattered it with his spiritual power.

The power within the Glassy Bottle surged toward Nanli, following the fragment.

"This is..." Cinian didn’t react in time.

"This is meant to poison A’Li!" Yun Yubai’s face turned icy as he wanted to immediately draw a talisman to stop the incoming power.

But since the power was heading toward its owner, how could he stop it?

The winds began to change.

Nanli’s clothes and hair fluttered in the wind.

She remained unperturbed, taking out her Golden Hairpin. "It’s up to you now!"

The Golden Hairpin was already her magic weapon, carrying her aura.

The Hairpin Elf leapt out, usually lively, but upon sensing the unusual power, it also panicked. "What the heck! It seems like it’s poisonous!"

"What are you afraid of? You’re just a Hairpin Elf now. Poison won’t kill you," Nanli shouted. "Hurry up!"

"Right!" The Hairpin Elf laughed and flew over, spiraling around to protect the power in her arms.

Indeed, the power did not leak out.

The Hairpin Elf then returned to the Golden Hairpin, completing the action smoothly.

Moments ago, the sky had been overcast, but now it was sunny again, with only a slight autumn breeze.

Before sealing the Golden Hairpin, Nanli drew a talisman to ensure that no poisonous energy would escape.

She placed the Golden Hairpin back into her Qiankun Bag.

With a pleased smile, she said, "Thanks, I’ll find a way to remove the poison."

Zhao Yuyang was on the verge of collapsing. "No!!!"

The sect leader was dead.

The Spirit Tree of Seven Peaks Sect would soon wither away.

He had gained nothing, but lost everything! He was a great sinner!

"Nanli! I’ll kill you!" Zhao Yuyang brandished his sword, his mind consumed with this single thought.

But as soon as he moved, Nanli instantly teleported in front of him.

Before anyone could react, Zhao Yuyang was kicked over, spitting blood.

"Nanli!" Crimson Glow Peak Master, though sorrowful, shouted, "Considering I helped you clear a path earlier, show mercy!"

She was also filled with self-blame.

After a hundred years, how could she face the master?

Nanli stopped her movements.

She said, "Master Yun, whether he lives or dies, it’s for you to decide."

Her debts with Seven Peaks Sect had been settled.

But what Yun Yubai endured, she couldn’t make the decision for him.

Yun Yubai froze for a moment.

Zhao Yuyang, crawling up, stared at him. "Heh, Junior Brother... You are a member of Seven Peaks Sect. It was the master who raised you and taught you the ways of cultivation. Yet, you betrayed the sect leader... You want to harm Seven Peaks Sect... I did nothing wrong! The wrong is yours! You have no right to decide my fate!"
