Nanli's face grew solemn. Without wasting words, she used a teleportation talisman to try and catch Chong Jiu again. But having just escaped, Chong Jiu wouldn't give her another chance so easily.
The black mist flowed out from his body, which he controlled effortlessly. Although this malevolent energy wasn't overly aggressive, few commoners had protective charms. The encroaching mist already made it hard for them to breathe.
Chong Jiu sneered, "The Ninth Princess, do you want to catch me, or save people?"
Before his words finished echoing, Nanli had already thrown several talismans. The golden light that erupted pierced and enveloped the malevolent energy.
Just these talismans weren't enough. Nanli had to set up a talisman array to suppress the black mist leaking from Chong Jiu's body. She didn't aim to save Chong Jiu but wanted to ensure the commoners weren't in danger.
