The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 481: Solo Assault on the Dragon’s Lair!

Xuanyuan Cang once fell in love with his own aunt, and now Xuanyuan Fu is known for his mistreatment of women. The common people suffer greatly, and uprisings are frequent. However, as the sorcerers receive their salaries from the court and Xuanyuan Fu can control the Evil Bee, they can only assist the court troops in suppressing the unrest.

He Qinian saw that the two other sorcerers had nothing more to say and turned to Nanli, saying, "The Ninth Princess’s presence here tonight must be a divine blessing. Please help save my sister!"

Nanli glanced at him, "Perhaps it is indeed heaven’s will. Otherwise, why would the copper coin guide me like this?"

"The Ninth Princess... Does this mean you agree?" He Qinian asked, a bit excited.

Nanli replied, "I came here to find out how to dispel the Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug and to settle accounts with Xuanyuan Fu. I haven’t promised you anything."

He Qinian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes. I will guide the Ninth Princess."

No matter what, as long as his sister could be saved, he would be content. To be safe, Nanli used a Body-Freezing Talisman on the two sorcerers and then followed He Qinian to the palace.

Although He Qinian wanted to use Nanli, seeing her age and that she was similar to his sister, he felt a pang of sympathy. He repeatedly asked if she was confident and advised her to retreat if she wasn’t sure to avoid risking her life.

"You really are chatty," Nanli said impatiently. "I’ve come this far, and I won’t just leave."

He Qinian pressed his lips together and fell silent, leading her to the vicinity of the palace.

When Nanli prepared to use an Invisible Talisman, He Qinian quickly said, "The palace is filled with talismans that can reveal anyone who is invisible."

Nanli put away the Invisible Talisman and raised an eyebrow, "Did you set up these talismans?"

He Qinian looked a bit embarrassed and scratched his head, "Yes."

"Then I’ll enter openly."

"What? How do you plan to enter openly?" He Qinian was initially confused.

"You said that the ruler entertains women every night," Nanli replied. She then noticed a group of women being led towards the palace.

The women seemed to know their fate and were quietly wiping away their tears. He Qinian was shocked to see that his sister was among them.

He wanted to rush forward but was held back by Nanli, "What are you in such a hurry for?"

He Qinian had no choice but to restrain himself, swallowing hard. "This was my mistake, almost ruining the Ninth Princess’s plan."

Nanli then asked, "If Xuanyuan Fu dies without an heir or a successor, won’t the Border Nation fall into chaos?"

The royal turmoil would bring suffering to the common people as well.

He Qinian was taken aback and then whispered, "If chaos comes, so be it. For years, the Xuanyuan royal family has oppressed the people using the skills passed down from their ancestors. We have long hoped for a divine force to overturn the Xuanyuan rule! Temporary suffering is nothing compared to the hope of a new beginning!"

Nanli looked at him with a hint of approval, "Weren’t you just using evil talismans to harm people? Why do you now appear to be such a noble youth?"

He Qinian said helplessly, "Though we are honored sorcerers, we often have no choice. If we disobey the ruler’s orders, our families will suffer."

Harming others was not his intention.

"Alright, go get your sister later," Nanli said, and with that, she vanished.

He Qinian was stunned for a moment and then saw that Nanli had quickly moved to the back of the group of women. She knocked out his sister with a precise strike and used an Invisible Talisman to conceal her before gently placing her on the ground and continuing with the group.

Once they reached the palace entrance, He Qinian felt relieved and planned to rescue his sister before sneaking back to see if Nanli needed any help. Since the evil talismans were destroyed and he had turned against Xuanyuan Fu, it was a dead end for him and his family. Xuanyuan Fu had to die tonight!

Inside the palace, the women had to undress and be checked by the maid before changing into uniform veils to serve the ruler. Nanli observed the scene and, counting the number of guards, turned to the women, "Don’t undress, just wait aside."

The women hesitated, staring at Nanli in confusion.

The leading maid approached and, upon seeing Nanli’s exquisite and beautiful face, was momentarily stunned but soon realized something was off, "You are not..."

Before she could finish, Nanli kicked her away. The women stared wide-eyed at Nanli, a mix of shock and admiration in their eyes.

The guards, seeing that she dared to strike, immediately ordered, "Kill her on the spot!"

But Nanli was faster. With a swing of her Dark Moon Sword, all the talismans posted around the palace’s corners were destroyed, and the central Bagua mirror shattered. She quickly threw a Body-Freezing Talisman, but it had no effect on the guards.

Nanli realized that these were close protection guards and must have defensive talismans on them.

"Just a little Taoist priestess!" the guards surrounded her, looking disdainful. They were immune to many talismans, so they weren’t afraid of Nanli.

At that moment, Xuanyuan Fu emerged from behind a screen, dressed in only underpants and a green robe, his upper body barely covered. Eight Paws Evil Bees buzzed around him.

He initially intended to have the Evil Bees deal with Nanli, but when he saw her appearance, he was struck dumb. The candlelight made her appear even more stunning despite her plain clothing, almost celestial.

Xuanyuan Fu scanned her from head to toe, his greed and lust evident.

Nanli coldly said, "Look again, and I’ll gouge out your eyes."

"Ha ha, a fierce-tempered female assassin," Xuanyuan Fu sneered at the Peachwood Sword in her hand. "With that sword, do you think you can gouge out my eyes?"

Nanli smiled lightly, "Come forward and try."

Xuanyuan Fu was terrified of death and would not approach directly. He ordered, "Capture her alive."

Such a beauty deserved to be enjoyed thoroughly. The guards followed his command, attacking Nanli, though their strikes were not aimed at her vital points.

Nanli gripped her Dark Moon Sword and muttered, "Just right, using talismans all the time is dull. I need to see how my combat skills measure up."

She hadn’t formally learned any sword techniques but found that her skills were sufficient to handle these guards. In a short while, more than a dozen guards lay on the ground, covered in wounds.

Xuanyuan Fu staggered back, realizing that Nanli was not stained with a single drop of blood, and even her Peachwood Sword remained clean.

It dawned on him that she wasn’t lying!

"...Evil Bees! Kill her!" Xuanyuan Fu, facing her cold eyes, panicked and shouted.ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
