Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 683 Peerless Elegance (3)_1

"Mommy, don’t worry about me. I can protect myself," Shangguan You said lightly. She knew the medicines developed by the Medicine King Cauldron were useless against these people. Since they offered no help, she could only rely on her own strength.

"Lin Mengjie, let me face you. I want to see who will prevail when the Family Heads and Elders of the five major clans encounter Shangguan You. It’s also time we settled our accounts from eighteen years ago," Ye Dasha’s smiling voice resounded, and a chilly aura surged towards Lin Mengjie. With a wave of her hands, Lin Mengjie countered Ye Dasha’s attack. In a flash, both of their figures flew out from the large hole.

While Ye Dasha drew Lin Mengjie away, Shangguan You simultaneously faced the combined might of four Family Heads and their Elders. Observing their bloodshot eyes and Zhuge Feng’s lethal, deliberate attacks, her brows furrowed even deeper. They could strike to kill her, but she couldn’t kill them. They were senseless now, but she recognized every one of them. That meant she could only dodge. She was now in a defensive position.

The overwhelming Spiritual Energy from several of them assaulted her, enveloping her figure with a world-destroying force, causing a sudden, inexplicable palpitation in Shangguan You’s heart.

"Freeze!" Shangguan You’s hands moved rapidly, forming seals in mid-air. The powerful forces surging towards her, as well as the encroaching insects, all halted.

One minute. That was the duration. As her abilities strengthened, anyone whose power did not surpass hers would be affected. As she swiftly formed the seals, the very flow of time in the entire world seemed to halt. Outside, the sounds of Lin Mengjie and Ye Dasha’s battle echoed.

Shangguan You’s actions quickened. She flashed next to Zhuge Feng, her Plum Blossom Divine Needle plunging into his body. She quickly fed them several Medicinal Pills, and the figures who had been standing collapsed limply.

"Get them out," Shangguan You commanded lightly. As each one fell, a Water Chain escorted them out.

A minute was brief, so brief that she only managed to save a few people before time started moving again. Elder Mi, Li Chengqing, and several Elders from the Li Family launched another attack at her.

She kicked out, sending three members of the Li Family flying. Simultaneously, she wielded the powers of fire, wood, and metal in her hands, directing them at Elder Mi. SIZZLE! Elder Mi’s hair stood on end, and smoke billowed from it once more. Her needle darted out again with incredible speed towards the remaining few. Elder Mi, however, swung his large hand, batting her needle away, and his figure shot out of the large hole.

Watching Elder Mi flee, Shangguan You let out a long sigh of relief. The heaven-defying feat, combined with administering the needles, had taken a heavy toll on her chest.

With a wave of her hands, she sent the rest of the Li Family members out and once more created an Ice Seal over the area, temporarily preventing the insects from escaping. Her figure flashed as she burst out through the opening again. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Witnessing the battlefield outside, Shangguan You involuntarily gasped. On the ground, a powerful, dark aura surged towards Lin Mengjie’s chest. Blood spilled from the corners of Lin Mengjie’s mouth. Seeing the potent Spiritual Energy mere centimeters from Lin Mengjie, Shangguan You’s heart leaped into her throat once more.

"Lin Mengjie, go to hell! From now on, this will be my domain! When I open all the passageways, countless friends will return! Heh heh!" Ye Dasha shouted triumphantly, confident that not even deities could survive his attack.

"Mengjie, be careful!" Shangguan Hao shouted. He could not interfere with such a powerful attack without risking harm to Lin Mengjie. However, seeing her in danger pained him greatly, his heart aching fiercely.

"Mommy!" Shangguan You cried out, her heart leaping to her throat. Her hands moved swiftly, activating the most forbidden and heaven-defying clause in the Contract Document. This was a desperate tactic when facing a formidable enemy, injuring oneself by a hundred to damage the enemy by eighty. This was the only way she could save Lin Mengjie now, and it would be the only time she ever resorted to such a forbidden technique.

"Master, Master, with your current power, you must not activate this forbidden clause of the Contract Document! Master, you can’t! You will vanish, and the space will disappear too!" the Medicine King Cauldron’s voice echoed anxiously in her mind.

"Little Cauldron, I have no choice. I must save Mommy. Ye Dasha is too powerful; I can’t stop him," Shangguan You said, smiling even as a trickle of blood leaked from her mouth. Her hands swiftly formed peculiar seals. Invoking this forbidden clause of the Contract Document would bring a severe punishment upon her, possibly even erasing her existence forever. Nonetheless, she had no choice. She had to do it. At the same time, her power would surge to its strongest ever.

But what would happen after she did this? She didn’t know. No one knew. The Medicine King Tower’s records held no account of it, as no one would be so reckless as to throw away their life using such a foolish method.

"Master, you can’t, you mustn’t!" the Medicine King Cauldron’s pained cries rang in her mind, but Shangguan You couldn’t afford to think about that now. She had only one thought: she must save Lin Mengjie; she must save her family.

Shangguan You’s body instantly transformed into a purple radiance. Wielding a force as vast as the heavens and earth, she swiftly pulled Lin Mengjie away. Simultaneously, a ray of light burst from within her body. BANG! It collided violently with Ye Dasha’s black Spiritual Energy. A formidable pressure wave spread slowly from between them, engulfing the surroundings.

In the span of a second, everything changed again. Shangguan You hovered mid-air, facing Ye Dasha from a distance, her garments flapping in the mighty wind. At this moment, she was like a goddess suspended in mid-air, a purple radiance enveloping her. Shangguan You could feel Spiritual Energy from the Medicine King Cauldron continuously flowing into her, replenishing her own. However, despite this, the sensation was not as comforting as usual. Instead, her heart pounded with an inexplicable sense of dread and profound worry. This time, she was thoroughly doomed.
