Chapter 692: A Self-inflicted End, The Entire Human World Will Be Safe

When all the spirit stones and items were gathered, it was clear that they easily added up to over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. There were also quite a few medicinal pills of various types.

Nanli nodded slightly, "Not bad. Put them in this Qiankun Bag."

Indeed, making multiple Qiankun Bags had been the right decision; now she had the perfect opportunity to use one.

Though the Qi Refining practitioners were pained by the loss of their accumulated wealth, they could only close their eyes and stuff everything they owned into the Qiankun Bag to save their lives.

But it didn’t matter; whatever they lost today, they would surely reclaim in the future!

As they lowered their heads to pack their belongings, their eyes burned with intense hatred.

The last person to hand over his Qiankun Bag tied it up and threw it at Nanli.

Nanli didn’t even bother to open it. She simply picked up a stone from the ground, infused it with spiritual energy, and effortlessly broke it into smaller pieces.

Everyone watched in confusion, not understanding what she was doing, but in the next moment, she flicked several of the small stones towards them!

The small stones, infused with spiritual energy, passed through their spiritual barriers as if they didn’t exist. The stones pierced through their palms, some embedding themselves into their skulls, others into their heart meridians.

In the blink of an eye, they all fell to the ground, their life force extinguished.

The remaining few Qi Refining practitioners stared wide-eyed, filled with rage. "You’re a liar! We handed over everything, and you still killed us!"

"Your lives aren’t worth that much," Nanli sneered, her voice cold. "Such a meager sum of wealth can’t buy your lives."

"Besides, I never promised anything in the first place."

What honor was there to speak of with these ruthless criminals who killed without hesitation?

Anyone who dared to harm her family would be destroyed without mercy!

The remaining warriors fell silent.

Nanli, showing no mercy, flicked several more small stones towards them.

No matter how they struggled, resisted, or attempted to escape, they were all struck down.

In the blink of an eye, the remaining nineteen Qi Refining warriors had all fallen.

Their breaths were no longer present.

Only the leader remained, but his bones had shattered, and he couldn’t even stand, let alone continue to fight with Nanli.

Moreover, the broken ribs had pierced into his internal organs, causing continuous bleeding. His weak spiritual energy was useless now.

He howled in pain and cursed, "You vile woman! By killing us, you’ve offended Skyclare City! You’ll regret this!"

Nanli coldly gazed at him, her expression unchanged. "I’ve offended the major sects of the Upper Realm. Why should I be afraid of offending Skyclare City?"

She smirked, immediately seeing through his intentions.

Her lips curled into a cold smile. "You want me to kill you to end your suffering? That’s not going to happen."

The leader’s heart sank.

No longer daring to glare at her with hatred, he instead began begging in a hoarse voice, "Please, Grand Lady, I beg you..."

The pain was too much to bear.

But Nanli ignored his pleas.

She suddenly changed her expression, quickly biting her fingertip and drawing a symbol with her blood.

The Five Elements Talisman floated into the air, taking a powerful blow!

Boom, boom, boom!

The shockwave was so immense that it seemed like the very sky might split apart.

The guards and servants in the front yard felt a sharp pain in their ears, their vision darkening as they almost coughed up blood.

This kind of impact was too much for ordinary people without cultivation to endure.

Inside the main hall, even though the Grand Lady and others had their protective talismans, they still felt their blood surging.

Nanli had just blocked the attack with her blood talisman when another person, moving at an incredible speed, appeared before her, holding a longsword and slashing at her.

Her reflexes were lightning-fast, and she drew the Dark Moon Sword, engaging in a fierce exchange in the blink of an eye.

The opponent retreated, landing on top of the surrounding wall.

The leader saw who it was and, overwhelmed with emotion, shouted, tears streaming down his face. "Elder Liang!"

Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Liang Jie.

He had gone to great lengths to break through the array and finally arrived at the Chu family’s estate in the Capital.

But he was too late.

He fixed his eyes on Nanli, his gaze dark and filled with fury. "So it’s you. No wonder you dared to scheme against me!"

Nanli stood tall, her back as straight as a jade pillar.

Her Dark Moon Sword gleamed under the sunlight, its surface flawless, without a single scratch.

She spoke calmly, "You were also quite bold. If I hadn’t blocked that last blow, how many innocents would you have harmed? Do you think you could survive the heavenly tribulation?"

Liang Jie snorted dismissively. "The island master sent me here, so of course, I’m prepared for everything. Penglai Island is not as simple as you think. We have all the treasures you could ever want. Do you think we don’t have a treasure capable of withstanding the heavenly tribulation?"

Nanli’s lips curled slightly. "Then Penglai Island really is rotten to the core."

It was said that before Penglai Island sank, it had been the immortal abode of the Fire Cloud True Monarch.

If his spirit were still intact and saw such a group of petty people occupying his island, he would probably be so furious that he would reunite his soul and strike them all down without leaving a single one alive.

Liang Jie pointed his sword at Nanli, his anger escalating. "Chu Nanli, you’ve harmed my Penglai Island disciples. Today, I will end you. It’s only just."

Nanli looked up at him with a trace of disdain on her face.

But the next moment, with a flick of her wrist, she leapt into the air with the Dark Moon Sword in hand. "I’m so scared, I can’t beat you, so I’m running away!"

In the blink of an eye, she had vanished without a trace.

"Where do you think you’re going!" Liang Jie shouted, chasing after her without hesitation.

The leader, still in agony, screamed, "Don’t go! Don’t leave me here!"

But Liang Jie had no intention of wasting time on the crippled man.

Only after ensuring it was safe did the Chu family members exit from the main hall.

Upon seeing the devastation in the front yard—corpses piled up, the scene was heartbreaking.

However, Chu Shuo rubbed his eyes and said, "Did I see that correctly? Did Sixth Sister just fly off on a sword?"

It looked so unbelievable—wasn’t this something out of a storybook?

"I saw it too," Chu Huan added.

The Grand Lady sighed, "It seems our Sixth Sister has found new opportunities. Her body is fully recovered now, and that’s a good thing."

But Madam Shen remained worried, "But she said she couldn’t win..."

The Grand Lady glanced at her and said, "Don’t you know Tongtong? If she really couldn’t win, she wouldn’t have said anything. She would have just fled without a word."

Though the Grand Lady said this, Madam Shen still looked troubled.

There was clearly something more to this—people from the Immortal World had already shown up before, one or two at a time, but now an entire group had arrived, including someone so formidable. What was going on?

And where was the Ninth Prince?

Zhongwei had stopped crying.

Xiao Wanyi hugged him, saying, "We can’t help Sixth Sister now. In fact, we’ve become a burden to her."

The Grand Lady turned around, speaking with authority, "There’s no burden among family. Tongtong wouldn’t think that way."

But even she had other plans in mind.

Meanwhile, Nanli had already lured the others out of the Capital and stopped at a desolate area on the outskirts.

She purposely slowed down to allow Liang Jie to catch up.

As expected, when they landed, Liang Jie immediately understood her intentions.

He raised an eyebrow, a mocking expression on his face. "You brought me here, didn’t you, because you were afraid of hurting the common folk of the Capital? How kind of you. If you truly had good intentions, you would have ended your life earlier. That way, not only would the Chu family be safe, but the entire Human World would be free of trouble."
