The screams outside grew even more intense and piercing. Nanli's other Jade Pearls continued to shatter one by one, leaving only three remaining. One was Ming Pei's, another belonged to the young apprentice, and the last one was...

A small Taoist priest hurriedly fled into the courtyard. As he crossed the threshold and saw Nanli's figure, he was overjoyed: "Ninth... the Ninth Princess! Save me..."

The young apprentice saw the newcomer and shouted, "Senior Brother Cangshang!"

But the Thousand Years Old Ghost had quickly enveloped Cangshang, its ghostly aura seeping into his body, devouring his soul and blood.

Cangshang continued to gaze at Nanli with pleading eyes. But without the support of his soul, his body weakened and collapsed, unmoving.

"Senior Brother!"

"Ugh ugh!"

The young apprentice and Ming Pei were heartbroken at the sight.

Boom--

The Jade Pearl containing Cangshang's blood also shattered.
