"Ouch, my lady." When Li Yuejin saw Nan Chaoyu's move, a breath got stuck in his throat. He almost choked to death!
Although Xie Zhenming was disabled, he was still the most outstanding genius of the Xie family.
Others might not know, but he did. Over the years, Old Master Xie had extremely valued Xie Zhenming. Privately, all the matters of the Xie family were entrusted to Xie Zhenming.
His cultivation was by no means comparable to Xie Zhenkai's.
However, the next moment, he widened his eyes in surprise.
On the horseback, when Xie Zhenming saw Nan Chaoyu, he seemed to have seen something extraordinary. With a sway of his figure, he actually dodged the attack and avoided Nan Chaoyu.
Xie Zhenming landed among the guards, but Nan Chaoyu didn't press the attack. Instead, she charged towards the Bai family hostages.
Xie Zhenming saw through her intention. His face turned cold, and he shouted, "Kill them all for me."
The guards reacted and drew their swords one after another, but it was already too late!
Wherever the frost reached, the swords slipped from the guards' hands, and all the members of the Bai family were relieved of the crisis.
Seeing this, Li Yuejin let out a loud shout, "Save the hostages!"
All the family heads suddenly woke up and rushed forward.
The people outside the city could be said to be the top cultivators in Dream Sea City. These guards had no power to fight back.
The calm look on Xie Zhenming's face disappeared. He stared at Nan Chaoyu with an ashen face. "You're not dead?"
Nan Chaoyu retracted her Mysterious Ice Sword and raised her eyebrows. "Disappointed?"
"I underestimated you. The princess of the Holy Light Empire does have some skills!"
Nan Chaoyu watched as he quickly regained his composure. The aura on his body kept climbing. She narrowed her eyes.
The day she saw him in the alley next to Lingfeng Teahouse, his cultivation was just at the level of a senior cultivator. That palm strike in the secret realm was at the peak of a senior cultivator.
But now, his aura was still climbing even after reaching the peak.
Among the crowd, someone let out a soft exclamation, "Spiritualist!"
That's right. He was indeed a Spiritualist!
Everyone present suddenly understood.
No wonder the Xie family dared to rebel!
However, Nan Chaoyu felt something was wrong. Xie Zhenming's promotion to Spiritualist seemed a bit strange.
"Girl, you're right. This man became a Spiritualist with the help of external forces!"
"External forces?"
A voice appeared in Nan Chaoyu's mind. It was the dragon soul from the secret realm.
The man in the secret realm was a soul avatar from another continent. His real body was a dragon.
He called himself Long Yi. Because he had consumed too much soul power, he couldn't walk normally. At this time, he had transformed into a dragon-shaped mark on Nan Chaoyu's left finger.
He could communicate with Nan Chaoyu with his soul power.
"Right. His spiritual power is vain and mottled. Obviously, it was drawn from different people. Although this method can help one promote quickly, there will be endless aftereffects. No one knows when the spiritual power in his body will be unable to bear it, and then he will be completely ruined!"
Nan Chaoyu suddenly understood. No wonder this man had promoted so quickly. It turned out to be this reason.
However, since Xie Zhenming had such a strange ability, Old Master Xie couldn't be without it.
As this thought flashed through her mind, Xie Zhenming's eyes swept over. He stared at Nan Chaoyu with a strange look in his eyes. "Hehe, Nan Chaoyu, no matter how you got out of the secret realm, going against the Xie family means a dead end."
"A dead end. That's exactly what I want to say to you." Nan Chaoyu held her Mysterious Ice Sword horizontally, isolating everyone behind her. "In the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is to practice evil skills. Spiritual power obtained through unscrupulous means like yours can never lead to the great path. Today, I'll eliminate the scum for Dream Sea City!"
"Boastful!"
Xie Zhenming's eyes were as cold as ice. The look in his eyes when he stared at Nan Chaoyu was filled with coldness.
Li Yuejin watched as Nan Chaoyu was about to face Xie Zhenming alone. His heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly shouted, "My lady, please... uh"
The next moment, seeing the aura on Nan Chaoyu's body that was no less than the man opposite, he swallowed his words.
He was sure that this lady definitely wasn't a Spiritualist when she left. How come after a trip to the Soul-Eating Sea Secret Realm, one after another, they had all become Spiritualists.
But neither of the two people in the confrontation had time to answer his question.
When the people around felt the pressure from these two people, they all retreated.
Nan Chaoyu made the first move. She unsheathed her Mysterious Ice Sword and slashed directly at Xie Zhenming with a cold aura.
Xie Zhenming had no weapon. His two palms were his weapons.
He actually used his bare hands to resist the divine weapon.
The Mysterious Ice Sword let out a soft howl. Nan Chaoyu could feel the killing intent transmitted from the sword.
It was angry because it had been provoked!
The two were evenly matched in the fight.
At this time, someone suddenly jumped down from the city wall.
Seeing the fight here, he rushed over and shouted, "My lord, there's trouble in the city."
It was Feng Xiao!
Hearing the shout, Nan Chaoyu used her sword to separate Xie Zhenming and then flew backward.
At this time, Feng Xiao staggered over. Seeing that he was injured, Nan Chaoyu's heart tightened. She asked, "Why are you here? Where are the others?"
Feng Xiao took a breath and glanced warily at Xie Zhenming. He said, "Old Master Xie has captured all the experts in the city and taken them to the Xie family. It is said that he is going to practice evil skills!"
Nan Chaoyu immediately understood. This was probably the reason why the Xie father and son had become Spiritualists!
"Hahaha, Nan Chaoyu, when the old master's divine skill is complete, none of you will be able to escape!"
After saying that, he didn't entangle with Nan Chaoyu anymore. He abandoned his guards and flew directly back to the city wall!
The people behind Nan Chaoyu gasped. They were shocked not only by the so - called evil skills but also by Xie Zhenming's ability.
Once promoted to a Spiritualist, one could transform the internal energy in the body into spiritual power and fly in the air.
This was something beyond the reach of most of them.
Nan Chaoyu didn't chase after him. She turned back and waved to Li Yuejin. "Li Laoliu, arrange things here well. Leave the Xie family to me."
Li Yuejin nodded and said worriedly, "Don't be reckless. If it's critical, just run away. This isn't your responsibility."
Nan Chaoyu hooked the corner of her mouth and patted Li Laoliu on the shoulder. "Don't worry! I value my life very much!"
After saying that, just as she was about to chase after the man, a family head rushed over from behind. "Princess, please wait."
Nan Chaoyu paused, turned around, and looked at the person. "What's the matter?"
"We want to ask the princess if you know what the evil skills this chivalrous man mentioned are?"
"I'm just guessing. It's probably related to the promotion of the Xie father and son to Spiritualists. But we'll know after taking a look."
The family heads looked a bit ugly, but they also knew that Nan Chaoyu was helping them just for Li Yuejin's sake. They immediately bowed their hands. "We thank the princess."
Nan Chaoyu waved her hand and flew after them.
She knew the location of the Xie family and went straight there.
At this time, the gate of the Xie family was wide open, and there was no one at the door.
However, vultures were circling above the Xie family, and the clouds were gathering. The fluctuations coming from the courtyard made Nan Chaoyu feel a little palpitated.
She didn't know what kind of evil skills Old Master Xie was practicing, but it could actually cause a change in the world!
She must stop it!
Without hesitation, she rushed directly towards the place where the energy was the strongest.
That was the martial arts training ground of the Xie family. Before she even got there, she could feel waves of fluctuations!
When she reached the outer wall, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"The Xie family has done many evil deeds. Everyone has the right to punish them. What more reason is needed?"
