Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011

When the Celestial Sovereign refused to help, the two people remained kneeling in vain.

The man cast a cold glance at Ancestor Chi.

Ancestor Chi was startled and quickly lowered his head. "Then, let us continue kneeling, hoping for Celestial Sovereign’s mercy..."

Though they weren’t afraid of the cold, the sky had changed, and soon snow began to fall heavily. They were covered in snow, turning into two snowmen in front of the mountain gate.

Still, the man didn’t move, and Ancestor Chi dared not.

Meanwhile, up on the mountain, Nanli had already sealed Yun Jianchu’s Demon Soul in a Spiritual Bag and handed it over to Qiu Hai.

Qiu Hai was pleased, not minding the trouble. He feared only that the Ancestors might forget him.

"Rest assured, Ancestor, I will do my best," Qiu Hai said, not making any grand promises, as he knew how weak Yun Jianchu’s Demon Soul was.

Nanli nodded in acknowledgment.

The Nether Sect closed behind her, and Siheng returned. He casually mentioned what happened at the mountain gate. "I have confirmed the head is genuine."

Outside, the cold wind howled, and Nanli, standing at the Joy Spring Platform, could clearly see the two kneeling figures at the foot of the mountain.

She frowned. "You said you wouldn’t hold a grudge against the Chi family, so why are they still kneeling there?"

Siheng recounted "Chi Fei’s" request.

Knowing what "Chi Fei" was really after in the Human World, he showed no particular respect.

Nanli narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself, "They found us so quickly."

Siheng added, "Are they coming for revenge? In that case, we should eliminate them completely."

Nanli shook her head lightly. "No need for that. Most of the independent cultivators who went to the Human World are already dead. I left three alive at the time. One of them is a person of great wealth and influence."

She smiled as she said this.

"Chi Xun, Chi Xun, so his surname is Chi. He has some nerve, using homophones. Chi Yun probably never expected him to be so brazen."

Turning away, she added, "I thought he would create the opportunity himself, but it turns out he’s relying on his uncle."

Siheng mentioned that "Chi Fei" was at least in the Deity Forming realm, stronger than Ancestor Chi. With such a capable uncle, Chi Xun would certainly be able to avenge himself and take control of the Chi family.

"If you don’t like it, we could make sure they never meet again," Siheng said casually.

Nanli maintained a composed expression. "No need to interfere with other people’s karma. If the uncle and nephew are destined, they will meet and recognize each other."

Siheng hummed in agreement. He had no interest in meddling in the affairs of others.

However, not everyone had the sense to leave things alone. Someone insisted on causing trouble.

The Telestone vibrated.

His voice was urgent, filled with panic. "Nanli Divine Sovereign, it’s bad! The Bai family has been wiped out in Suzhou!"

Nanli’s lips twitched.

When it was a trivial matter, they called her Nanli. But when something serious happened, it was always "Nanli Divine Sovereign." This old fox was sharp.

She asked, "Who did you send?"

Bai Hao quickly explained, "Xiangyu and the second brother led a team, and the fourth and fifth brothers led another. When they reached the Spring Lake area, we lost contact. I went with Bai Peng to provide support, but we found that Spring Lake had set up a barrier, and it was so strong that even I couldn’t break it."

The younger generation of the Bai family was trapped in Spring Lake, their fate unknown. Bai Hao, deeply concerned about his kin but powerless, had no choice but to seek help.

Nanli exchanged a glance with Siheng. Both were surprised.

Looking at the whole Immortal World, Bai Hao was already a powerful figure. How could he not break a barrier in the Human World?

It seemed that something formidable was causing trouble around Spring Lake.

Nanli spoke calmly, "We will go to Spring Lake."

She hung up the Telestone and prepared to summon the Nether Sect.

Siheng placed a hand on her arm and spoke softly, "I’ll go."

Nanli raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to keep me locked in the mountain, not letting me go?"

Siheng had expected this response. He frowned lightly. "It’s not that. I’m just worried that you..."

"I’m not immobilized, nor have I lost all my spiritual energy. I can take care of myself," Nanli winked at him. "Even if I can’t handle it, aren’t you here? Don’t you trust yourself?"

Siheng, flustered by her words, couldn’t help but sigh.

She was always restless, and if he kept her locked in Jialan Celestial Mountain, it would be no different from prison.

The two of them were set to head to Spring Lake, but Cinian, upon hearing the news, also decided to join with his eleven Shans, eager to see things for himself and improve his skills.

"I’m going too!" Ximen Chuan naturally wasn’t willing to be left behind.

This was a matter that even the Bai family couldn’t handle, and he saw a chance to take some advantage for himself.

Spring Lake had already frozen over. The surrounding plains were flat, with no shelter, and the cold winds were biting.

Moreover, with the presence of some demonic force, the local villagers were too frightened to leave their homes.

Bai Hao led the Bai family members and continued trying to break the barrier.

But no matter what treasures or sword techniques they used, the barrier remained unyielding.

Everyone was out of breath, their spiritual energy nearly depleted.

With his children trapped in Spring Lake, Bai Peng was extremely worried. Still, he kept pressing on, holding his sword high, trying to break the barrier with all his might.

"Stop wasting your energy."

Nanli’s voice rang out.

In the snowstorm, an eerie large door appeared, and a group of people emerged. The door immediately vanished.

Bai Hao saw that reinforcements had arrived and was both shocked and relieved. "Nanli Divine Sovereign! You’ve finally come!"

In fact, it had only been the time it took to brew a pot of tea.

It was a quick arrival.

Bai Peng, panting, wiped the sweat from his brow. "Nanli Divine Sovereign, Jifeng Celestial Sovereign, please break this barrier quickly! Xiangyu and the others have been missing for a day and a night!"

He was deeply anxious.

Siheng narrowed his eyes, and surprisingly, he couldn’t see the barrier’s traces.

When he released a surge of spiritual energy, it actually bounced back.

But with a flick of his sleeve, he dispelled the energy. He raised an eyebrow, looking impressed. "This barrier is impressive."

The eleven Shans exchanged looks. To earn a compliment from Jifeng Celestial Sovereign, they knew this demonic force was in for a tough time.

Cinian, unfamiliar with such formations, asked, "This barrier looks different from the usual ones."

Ximen Chuan, more experienced, replied, "It doesn’t look like it’s made with talismans. It seems to have been activated by some artifact."

It didn’t have the usual Five Elements or Cosmic symbols, nor did it shine in golden hues.

Siheng was silent. Though he was at the Celestial Sovereign level, there were countless artifacts in the world, and he couldn’t recognize them all.

But Nanli took a step forward, her dress fluttering in the snow.

Her eyes sparkled with brilliance, and her cheeks flushed pink, her skin as smooth as snow.

She tugged gently at Siheng’s sleeve with a smile. "It’s Dragon Horn! This barrier was made with Dragon Horn!"

"What?" Siheng was momentarily stunned, looking down at her.

Everyone, including Siheng, had never heard of Dragon Horn before.

Bai Peng asked, "Dragon Horn? What kind of artifact is that?"

"It’s not exactly an artifact, but the Dragon Horn from the Dragon Clan. It’s incredibly durable, and when combined with specific spells, the power of Dragon Horn can create a barrier that’s nearly impossible to break, even for immortals. It’s far beyond the strength of our cultivators," Nanli explained.
