Chapter 816: Move Aside, Let Me Do It!

Nanli wasn’t in a rush, not wanting to alarm the snake by beating the grass.

"I’m not interested in these things," she said. "Yun Yubai helped me, and not only will I save him, but I will also save his disciple."

Ximen Chuan did not expect Nanli to be so loyal, and he immediately looked at her with a new light.

But he still spoke in a deep voice:

"So we are the same kind of people. I admire you. But the beasts and monsters must have already occupied the northern region. They have a certain level of intelligence and know that devouring cultivators will strengthen their power. Yun Shen is likely in grave danger."

"I’ve sent Seven Peaks Sect disciples to investigate. Yun Yubai is most likely still alive, as there’s always a bone-chilling cold aura coming from his meditation cave. After thinking it through, he should have been struck by the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal poison."

"You’re better off focusing on how to save Yun Yubai," he added.

His words were heartfelt.

After saying so much, if it weren’t for his deep cultivation, he would have already passed out.

Seeing that Ximen Chuan was about to lose consciousness, Nanli had no choice but to draw a Wound-Healing Talisman for him again.

"You..."

Her Wound-Healing Talisman immediately allowed him to catch his breath and ease the pain in his wounds.

Tears welled in his eyes as he continued to choke, "You... you’re not only powerful, but you’re also quite kind."

Nanli rolled her eyes at him. "If this is a place where prisoners are held, it should be pretty secure, right?"

Ximen Chuan immediately understood what she meant.

She was determined to save Yun Shen.

Alive to see the person, dead to see the corpse.

It was clear that she had a strong sense of loyalty!

Unlike the unscrupulous sects in the central region!

He admired Nanli even more. "Yes, our Asura Palace’s iron cells are very sturdy, they should hold for a while."

Nanli nodded. "Good, then you go take a trip."

"Good, we’ll go," he agreed.

"I mean, you go," Nanli corrected him.

Ximen Chuan had enough strength to sit up now, and he blinked, his lips twitching. "You’re not coming with me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll just leave without doing anything?"

The truth was, he was severely injured and couldn’t risk fighting the beasts right now.

However, he felt uncomfortable admitting it in front of his subordinates.

Nanli saw right through his thoughts, using his spirit stones and drawing more Wound-Healing Talismans. "Within an hour, you’ll recover 80% of your strength."

Ximen Chuan didn’t expect her to use the spirit stones so effectively. After finishing these profound and useful talismans, her expression remained unchanged!

His eyes lit up with brilliance. He immediately thought that if Asura Palace could recruit such a talent, becoming the ruler of the Nine States would be just a matter of time!

He coughed lightly. "Nanli, why don’t you join Asura Palace? As the Palace Master, I will protect you completely."

"You’ve injured your meridian and dantian. How is your brain also messed up?" Nanli didn’t hesitate to kick him.

Ximen Chuan fell to the ground.

Then, Nanli slapped another talisman onto his forehead.

This talisman immediately seeped into his body.

Ximen Chuan was stunned. He quickly checked and found that his inner core was now wrapped with a golden light talisman!

He shivered and glared at Nanli. "What are you doing?!"

"You should realize who is in charge now and who you should listen to," Nanli said. "Don’t think I can’t control you."

Ximen Chuan was loyal to his own people but was devious when dealing with outsiders.

He had intended to coax Nanli and then fight back once his injuries were somewhat healed to show her his strength.

"You’re ruthless," he spat through gritted teeth.

"To deal with ruthless people, shouldn’t one use ruthless methods?" Nanli noticed that he was trying to use his energy to force the talisman out of his body and advised him, "Don’t waste your energy. With your current cultivation, you can’t break this talisman. Don’t harm yourself further and damage your inner core."

Sure enough, when Ximen Chuan tried, he immediately felt immense pain throughout his limbs.

His inner core was trembling and burning.

It was clear that he couldn’t break the talisman.

Sweat beads formed on his forehead, and he was thoroughly subdued. "If I bring Yun Shen back safe and sound, will you undo this talisman?"

"Once you bring him back, I’ll think about it," Nanli replied without agreeing.

Ximen Chuan’s eyes seemed to blaze with fury.

He quickly began thinking of other methods.

However, Nanli smiled and made a gesture, causing the golden light talisman to tighten around Ximen Chuan’s inner core, as if it were trying to pull it out!

This would destroy his inner core!

Ximen Chuan immediately used his energy to protect it.

However, Nanli didn’t continue. She simply wanted to show Ximen Chuan the power of this talisman. "Remember, your time is limited. Once your wounds heal, you’ll immediately depart to rescue him. If I don’t see you return with Yun Shen before sunset today, you can consider yourself a cripple."

Ximen Chuan’s face froze. "But now that there is a formation barrier in the Human World, how can I get through?"

"That’s not difficult. I’ll give you a Passage Talisman," Nanli said.

She gave Ximen Chuan one and did the same for several Night Asura.

As for the other martial artists who hadn’t reached Base Building, they weren’t needed and would only slow them down.

Ximen Chuan glanced at the sky before looking back at Nanli. His eyes were filled with disbelief. "This... this huge formation barrier, you set it up?"

"Breaking and setting up formations, isn’t that normal?"

"It’s not normal. You’re only at the Nascent Soul stage, and even the early stage!" Ximen Chuan was so agitated that his face turned red.

"Maybe after this, you’ll understand why this is normal for me," Nanli replied, not wasting any time. "I’ll take your people to Mu Nation’s capital. Once your injuries improve, you’ll depart immediately."

She removed the Body-Freezing Talismans from the Asura Palace people.

The martial artists who hadn’t reached Base Building looked at Ximen Chuan, clearly asking whether to comply.

"Go along," he said, since he no longer had any bargaining power.

Nanli didn’t want to ride her sword and instead boarded the Spirit Boat. "Set sail."

The boatman didn’t dare refuse and quickly added a spirit stone to start controlling the boat.

The Spirit Boat slowly rose into the air.

But it was moving at a snail’s pace...

Nanli couldn’t stand it anymore and said, "Why is it moving so slowly? Don’t you understand that time is precious?"

The boatman had over a hundred years of experience.

He thought he was handling the boat smoothly and quickly, but still remembered Nanli’s previous humiliation and threat toward the Palace Master, so he said, "Do you think controlling the Spirit Boat is easy?"

"Why? Is it difficult for you?" Nanli noticed his sarcasm and retorted.

"Hmph, it’s not difficult for me, but for you... who knows?"

"Move aside, let me do it." Nanli rolled her eyes.

"You? Don’t tell me you’re going to wreck the boat and kill everyone?" The boatman refused to move aside. After all, no one aboard had reached Base Building and couldn’t use swords. If the boat were destroyed, they’d fall from such a height and be crushed to a pulp.
