Chapter 669: Good Sons, It Was Worth All the Effort in Raising You!

Good sons!

It was indeed worth all the effort in raising you!

She formed the final hand seal: "Purple Gold Thunder, strike!"

The Heaven Thunder Talisman exploded in golden light, and the skies grew even darker.

In the span of a breath, countless Purple Gold Thunderbolts descended from all directions.

The rumbling thunder was incessant.

The light was so blinding that it almost burned the eyes.

Nanli’s spiritual energy had already been exhausted.

She could no longer control her sword and began to fall.

"Nanli!" Yun Yubai shouted in alarm.

If she fell into the whirlpool of the hurricane, both her body and soul would be shattered.

He wanted to rush forward and catch her.

Yan Buxiu, mistakenly thinking that the Purple Gold Thunder was aimed at them, quickly shielded himself with his spiritual power.

Qingwu, after a moment of surprise, also retreated, hoping to survive the Heaven Thunder Array before making a move.

But both were mistaken.

Dozens of Purple Gold Thunderbolts fell, not towards them, but towards the surrounding hurricane vortexes.

Bang, bang, bang—

The vortexes shattered and dissipated.

A path was once again opened!

Yan Buxiu was furious. So, this was her plan!

How clever!

Because even though she was at the Golden Core stage and could use the Heaven Thunder Array, its power was limited. As long as they protected their bodies and souls with Nascent Soul-level energy, they would suffer little harm.

But she had used the thunder array to break the hurricane vortex and create an escape route. With the vast expanse of the Nine States, it would be hard for them to track her down!

The fierce winds, however, swept Nanli—whose spiritual energy was already depleted—away to an unknown location.

Yan Buxiu hurriedly soared into the air, searching for Nanli’s figure.

He found her!

But to his surprise, even as Nanli’s body tumbled uncontrollably, she was still able to unleash dozens of talismans.

The light flared, and those talismans transformed into puppets of Nanli and Yun Yubai, scattered across the world.

Nanli called out, "Senior, our lives are the priority. We will meet again some other day!"

She took out the Golden Hairpin. "Let’s make our escape quickly!"

"Understood, master!" The Golden Hairpin, which had already stored some spiritual energy, was quickly activated and, with a single motion, carried Nanli away.

Yan Buxiu’s heart clenched with anger.

He couldn’t tell which were puppets and which was the real body. No matter what action the real Nanli took, the puppets followed suit. There was no way to distinguish between them.

Yun Yubai was equally stunned by her ability to create such talismans, but as long as she escaped, that was enough. He had already revealed his identity to her, and surely, she would come looking for him in the future.

He also immediately mounted his sword and left.

Amidst the chaos of the puppets, they flew in all directions, leaving Qingwu unable to tell who was who.

Yan Buxiu roared, "Don’t even think about escaping!"

He used all his spiritual energy and waved his Nine Heavens Fan.

Wind blades pursued the figures.

His wind blades were no less powerful, following the two.

If they were puppets, he could easily destroy them.

But if they were the real bodies, he might not be able to hurt the veiled man, but it would be enough to severely injure Nanli.

Having exhausted his energy with this move, Yan Buxiu landed heavily on a mountain peak, gasping for breath.

Qingwu followed closely behind, his face dark. "Why haven’t Master Ji and Valley Master Yang arrived?"

They had hoped to buy time until Siheng’s Nascent Soul returned to its true body, but they had yet to appear to corner Nanli and finish her off.

If they had all been present, even if Nanli had a helper, they would have no chance of escaping.

There would have been no way for them to escape together!

After leaving the battle, they realized that several of the immortal mountains were engulfed in smoke, clearly showing signs of fierce fighting.

Qingwu took a step forward, concentrating his spiritual energy in his eyes to finally see what was happening.

It was Qiao Nanyi and Master Ji locked in combat!

"He... He was reincarnated as Qingyang, wasn’t he? His physical body is still in the Zhenxian Tower. How could he unify his Nascent Soul with his body?!" Qingwu was shocked.

"It seems the formation of the God-Slaying Formation was sabotaged, and it was this person’s doing!" Yan Buxiu glanced at him. "What are you waiting for? We cannot afford to lose any more support, or we’ll be unable to face Siheng in the future!"

At this point, they could no longer afford to let the Glassy Bottle slip away.

Strength in numbers was crucial. They could not afford to make a mistake at this critical moment!

"You’re right," Qingwu nodded.

He immediately summoned his sword and headed toward the fight.

Both Master Ji and Qiao Nanyi were Sword Cultivators.

Their sects were different, so their techniques were also different.

In the past, Master Ji could have fought evenly with Qiao Nanyi based on his cultivation level, but now that he had lowered his cultivation to the late Nascent Soul stage, he was being thoroughly suppressed by Qiao Nanyi, who was at the early Deity Forming stage.

Frosty Valley’s Valley Master Yang had already perished,

and now, Master Ji was struggling to hold his ground.

Qiao Nanyi’s sword techniques were intricate and changeable. Despite Master Ji’s best efforts, he could only barely protect his body and soul.

Out of options, Master Ji attempted to flee on his sword.

Qiao Nanyi formed a seal with his fingers, sending a torrent of sword intent that scattered and struck down Master Ji.

Master Ji crashed to the ground and coughed up black blood.

At this moment, his spiritual energy was completely spent, and his body was covered in bloodstains.

He glared at Qiao Nanyi. "I am the Sect Leader of Seven Peaks Sect. If you dare kill me, you’re signing your own death warrant!"

Qiao Nanyi snorted coldly. He was not one for many words and did not engage Master Ji further. Without hesitation, he slashed out with another wave of sword intent.

This sword intent was powerful enough to destroy Master Ji’s Dantian.

Master Ji drew in a sharp breath, fear flashing in his eyes. His body instinctively recoiled. Fortunately, another sword intent came from the south and protected him just in time.

Master Ji turned his head and was overjoyed. "Grand Elder Qingwu!"

Qingwu landed with his hands clasped behind his back.

He swept his gaze over Qiao Nanyi, then spoke coldly, "Who made your body at Jialan Celestial Mountain? There’s not a single flaw."

All these years, he had never detected a thing.

Qiao Nanyi, upon seeing who had arrived, realized that Master Ji could no longer pose a threat. He sheathed his sword and said, "Of course, it was made by Celestial Sovereign. Do you really think my strength is enough to hide it from your eyes?"

Qingwu’s expression stiffened. "So, from that time on, Celestial Sovereign has been wary of me."

"Exactly. You were tasked by the old patriarch to protect Celestial Sovereign as he grew, and Celestial Sovereign never had any suspicion of you. Only someone as close as you could have obtained Celestial Sovereign’s blood and used the Face-Changing Talisman to transform into his likeness!" Qiao Nanyi’s eyes were filled with hatred. "Qingwu, what you’ve done—do you think it’s right? Do you think it’s fair to Celestial Sovereign or the old patriarch?"

Qingwu, hearing this, remained indifferent, showing no sign of guilt.

"All that I have done, I did for Celestial Sovereign."

"Celestial Sovereign was injured in his Nascent Soul. He needs spiritual energy to heal, but the Spirit Tree is withering, and the Nine States will soon be devoid of spiritual energy. What could I do?"

"After ascending, I will cut down the person I desire and attain the Dao! What’s wrong with that?"

Qiao Nanyi glared at him. "But she is the Death God! You’ve killed a god!"

"Then she must be killed!" Qingwu’s expression turned cold. "She refuses to relinquish her position. How can an Immortal Being become a god without first stepping down?"

He spread his arms, gathering spiritual energy.

"Look at this, the energy is so pure! She is a god, and for the sake of all living beings, for the countless cultivators, she sacrificed herself to bring this world to life. This is her supreme merit!"

A god should have such awareness!
