The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 465: What, Do You Dare to Come and Snatch My Fifth Brother’s Soul?!

Chapter 465: What, Do You Dare to Come and Snatch My Fifth Brother’s Soul?!

"Protect His Majesty!" The bodyguards shouted and brandished their weapons, preparing to slash into the golden light array.

Nanli’s figure had just appeared when a Body-Freezing Talisman was cast, rendering everyone in the courtyard motionless.

She moved like lightning, closing in on Qi Hong.

Before Qi Hong could even see her face, she had already inflicted a wound with her Dark Moon Sword.

The black mist was too slow to react.

He groaned, and black mist began to seep from his wound. Nanli intended to increase her force, aiming to break his evil power with a single strike and send him to the afterlife.

"A’Yuan..." Qi Hong looked over.

Chu Yan’s chest was stained with blood, sweat covered his forehead, but he clenched his teeth and refused to make a sound.

He had understood the purpose of the Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug.

The essence of the alliance was to be mutually bound, sharing both life and death.

If one was injured, the other would suffer as well.

Even death could not be avoided.

He could not afford to make a sound and alert his sixth sister.

If Qi Hong died, Qi Nation would fall into chaos, and Mu Nation would benefit.

That was the last thing he could do.

"A’Yuan!" Qi Hong was taken aback by Chu Yan’s refusal to cry out for help, feeling deep sorrow and regret.

Tears blurred his vision as he looked at Nanli, finally managing to utter, "You... fifth Brother... save my fifth Brother..."

"What?" Nanli frowned.

She turned slightly and saw a scene of blood red.

Her expression stiffened. Noting the similar locations of the wounds on the two men, she immediately realized that Qi Hong had manipulated things within this short time, tying their fates together to preserve his own life!

She rushed over and supported Chu Yan. "Fifth Brother!"

Chu Yan’s face was pale, his consciousness fading, but seeing Nanli’s anxious expression before dying, he couldn’t help but smile weakly. "Sixth sister, I will always... always be your fifth Brother, right?"

Nanli’s eyes reddened. She began rummaging through her bag while saying, "Do you need to ask? You are my fifth Brother, always will be!"

She didn’t know why, but seeing Chu Yan on the brink of death, her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe.

Chu Yan felt a sense of satisfaction. "Then I can die in peace..."

"Stop saying such nonsense. Hold on! Do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?!" Nanli cried out.

"No, it’s not your fault..." Chu Yan saw a tear fall from her eye and was deeply shaken.

How could he have been so foolish...

His sixth sister was strong-willed, never crying no matter the circumstances.

Now, because of him, she was crying.

His desire for death had, at this moment, turned into a will to live.

Nanli intended to use a Soul-Binding Talisman to force Chu Yan’s soul to stay in his body, but his soul was already stubbornly anchoring itself.

The ghostly figure appeared, murmuring, "Eh, this guy..."

Nanli saw him and glared. "What, do you dare to come and snatch my fifth Brother’s soul?!"

Her gaze was fierce, like a blade.

The ghostly figure was startled and quickly waved his hands to retreat. "No, no, I don’t dare. This youth’s soul is extraordinary, his life span is not yet over. I must have come to the wrong place!"

With that, the ghostly figure vanished.

Nanli did not relax, as Chu Yan’s soul was still within him, meaning he still had a chance.

However, he had damaged his heart vein, and ordinary Wound-Healing Talismans were ineffective.

Her eyes narrowed as she used the Heaven Star Brush to draw a magic array, placing Chu Yan in the center.

She then turned to Qi Hong, her eyes filled with disgust and resolve. "Can you repair your own evil body?"

Since their lives were now intertwined, saving only Chu Yan was not enough. Qi Hong also needed to heal, so both of them could survive.

Qi Hong took a deep breath and shook his head. "It’s no use. I was previously injured by the thousand-year-old peach wood. Now, with you... I am at the end of my road."

In the past, he had fought against Nanli and found her black tide overwhelming.

Now, his cultivation had reached its peak. He thought he could easily deal with Chu Nanli and claim the world, but he was wrong. Chu Nanli had advanced even faster, making him a mere clown in his delusions!

"Useless." Nanli snorted coldly.

She went over and snatched the cauldron from his hands, removing the gemstones from it.

There was still some power in those gemstones.

But for Qi Hong, it was a drop in the ocean, hardly enough to plug the gap in his injuries.

Nevertheless, Nanli could use it to its fullest extent.

Her gaze sharpened as she drew a dark symbol on the gemstone, which instantly radiated a brilliant red light.

The red light nourished Qi Hong, immediately repairing his evil body, making him feel much better.

Seeing that the black mist was no longer leaking, Nanli finally threw the Golden Hairpin onto the array’s focal point.

The Hairpin Elf cried out, "Master, there’s only so much spiritual energy left. If you use it like this, I’ll often fall into a deep sleep without energy to support me."

Nanli raised an eyebrow. "You’re being disobedient."

The Golden Hairpin trembled, and the Hairpin Elf hurriedly said, "I’m very obedient! I’ll immediately release all my spiritual energy, and won’t hold anything back!"

She had read the word "destruction" in Nanli’s eyes.

Spiritual energy slowly flowed out, nourishing the array and refining into Chu Yan’s body.

Silver light flickered on Chu Yan’s chest. His wounds were not healing instantly, but the healing speed was not slow.

Qi Hong was now profoundly shocked, looking at Nanli. "White-Browed Priest once used a similar array to save me, but he used the life force of living people to press the array, while you... you have spiritual energy at hand!"

Qi Hong recalled that White-Browed Priest had traveled through Qi Nation years ago, collecting only a small amount of spiritual energy.

At the mention of this person, Nanli smiled lightly. "I’ve fought against his disciples but never faced him directly. It’s truly a pity."

Qi Hong ground his teeth. "With your current abilities, the Daoist priest would surely be no match for you."

"The Ninth Princess, I didn’t expect you to be able to draw dark symbols."

He looked down at the symbols on the gemstone, feeling even more profoundly shocked.

Nanli looked at him. "What? Surprised that I can maintain my true self?"

Qi Hong’s face was somewhat stiff before he nodded.

Cultivating dark arts and drawing dark symbols was a quick and easy process.

Some cultivators would never dare to dabble in it, fearing they couldn’t maintain their true selves and would stray from the path, unable to turn back.

Nanli brushed her hair back, her eyes clear. "I cultivate the righteous path steadily and quickly. Why would I need to practice dark arts and seek my own destruction?"

Qi Hong was deeply struck by this.

In the past, he would have thought her arrogant.

But after witnessing her summon the heavenly thunder in Yan Town, he felt she had understated her abilities.

It was not just fast but extraordinary!

In the mortal world, who could compare to her?

She was the greatest in the world!

Qi Hong began to feel fortunate that he had prepared the Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug in advance. Otherwise, he would now be nothing but bones, his soul completely destroyed.

Yet, Nanli seemed to see through Qi Hong’s thoughts. She smiled faintly, her smile as cold as ice. "You used the Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug, didn’t you? Don’t worry, I will go to Border Nation, and after I remove the Enchanting Bugs from you, I will kill you."
