Chapter 44 Soul Lock
A dangerous and cold breath hit her in the face. Mu Nanyue's whole body stiffened, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. The chill crept up from the soles of her feet to her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

"It's an evil cultivator!" The expression of the Mu family guard changed slightly, as if facing a powerful enemy.

At this time, Mu Nanyue gathered spiritual energy around her body, trying to resist the pressure released by Protector Yu, while secretly passing the news back to the Mu family.

Hold on a little longer.

When my mother hears the news, she will definitely come to help.

Seeing her plan, Protector Yu smiled contemptuously. Spiritual power flashed at her fingertips, and countless wind blades swept in like a tornado.

"Whoosh-"

The strong wind whistled past her ears. Mu Nanyue closed her eyes and felt like she was going deaf.

The group of people did not move a single step, but were pushed back more than ten meters by the spiritual energy fluctuations of Protector Yu. With a crisp "crack" sound, cracks gradually appeared in the barrier that the guards had put all their efforts to condense.

"A mere trifle." Yu Hufa curled his lips and sneered, not taking them seriously at all, raised his hand and waved, "Go to hell!"

As soon as she finished speaking, powerful spiritual energy burst out from her body, her five fingers formed into claws, and she attacked Mu Nanyue at lightning speed.

When touching the defensive formation, the spiritual energy on Protector Yu became more and more strange. With a loud "bang", the people in the formation were all hit in all directions by the spiritual energy fluctuations and fell to the ground.

"Bang bang—"

Her defense was shattered, and Mu Nanyue also fell to the ground. Her face turned pale, and a fishy-sweet taste surged into her throat.

She gritted her teeth, quickly got up from the ground, raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said in a mocking tone: "To have such a high level of cultivation, I wonder how many lives Protector Yu has sacrificed? Can you sleep peacefully at night?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Protector Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously, with murderous intent evident in his eyes.

At the same time, they reacted quickly and realized that Mu Nanyue was delaying time. Protector Yu didn't say anything and acted quickly without giving her any time to breathe.

However, when she approached Mu Nanyue, Protector Yu suddenly froze in place. After his eyes met her bright eyes, his gaze became empty, and the spiritual power condensed in his palms also dissipated.

Protector Yu seemed to have lost his mind and stood there in a daze.

"Someone, kill her." Mu Nanyue said in a heavy tone, his eyes fixed on her, a strange purple light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes!" Some of the guards who had fallen to the ground had just woken up from their comas. They looked shocked and incredulous.

This was the first time that the eldest lady used the Mu family's soul-stealing technique in front of outsiders.

Soul lock!

It can completely bind the enemy's soul and trap it in a dark formation, prohibiting it from moving or practicing until it dies of old age.

The protector Yu of the evil sect has now reached the spiritual saint realm. Mu Nanyue was able to trap her, and her soul-stealing technique must have been cultivated to at least the fifth level.

The guard was surprised and quickly grabbed the sword and swung it towards Protector Yu.

"What are you doing?"

A female voice suddenly came from behind, accompanied by the sound of a magic weapon falling to the ground.

Pei Jinshu, who had caught up with him at some point, pushed aside the guards and said angrily, "So many people bullying a powerless woman, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed if this gets out?"

She turned and glared at Mu Nanyue with an extremely ugly expression, and spread out her arms to protect Protector Yu, who looked like a fool, behind her.

With her vision blocked, Mu Nanyue could clearly feel that Protector Yu was struggling to resist.

Her soul-stealing technique had indeed reached the fifth level, but she had just been promoted and could not yet fully control it. Therefore, once there was an obstacle, Protector Yu would have a chance to break through the soul lock.

"She is an evil cultivator, stay away from her immediately!"

Mu Nanyue's face turned slightly cold, and she reminded Pei Jinshu to leave quickly.

She couldn't hold on any longer. The guard next to her wanted to continue, but was kicked away by Pei Jinshu. She sneered: "Who are you trying to fool? This woman doesn't even have spiritual energy, and she's practicing evil..."

Before she could finish her words, her neck was pinched by slightly cold fingers, and the pressure gradually increased. Pei Jinshu held her breath, her eyes full of disbelief.

"You, you..." She moved her lips but couldn't say a word.

This person is truly an evil cultivator!
With a "puff", Mu Nanyue vomited blood. Her soul lock was forcibly broken, and she suffered severe backlash, and her face turned pale.

"Idiot!" She glared at Pei Jinshu who was taken hostage. She was so exhausted that she quickly took the elixir to replenish her spirit.

"I don't know..." Pei Jinshu wanted to cry but had no tears, with a sad face.

She came over following the scent and just happened to see Mu Nanyue's guards killing people. At that time, she could not detect any spiritual energy in the evil cultivator, so she thought he was just an ordinary person.

I thought I had offended Mu Nanyue unintentionally, but Mu Nanyue has always been unreasonable and would even demand someone's life for a small matter.

Pei Jinshu then offered to help.

Unexpectedly, she ended up doing more harm than good.

“Hahaha…” Yu the Protector looked smug, as if he was saying, “God is helping me.” He looked at Mu Nanyue with disdain, “Ms. Mu, you are too weak.”

As she spoke, she raised the person in her hand with one hand. Due to difficulty breathing, Pei Jinshu was forced to tilt his head back, with veins bulging on his forehead.

"Help...Help!" She really knew she was wrong.

Looking at her painful appearance, Yu Hufa covered his mouth and chuckled, saying nonchalantly: "This is the little girl of the Pei family, right? She is also your future sister-in-law. Whether she can survive depends entirely on Miss Mu."

This is meant to put forward conditions.

Mu Nanyue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "What do you want? Xu Yichuan went to Shenqi College, you definitely can't take him with you. As for the spiritual blood..."

She took out a green porcelain bottle, her eyes slightly lowered, her face full of hesitation and struggle.

Seeing this, Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and then his face remained the same as usual, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Send the spiritual blood here. Then poke your eyes out and cut your face a few times, and I will release your future sister-in-law."

"no!"

Pei Jinshu's voice was urgent. She was out of breath at this moment. Her eyes were red and she almost rolled her eyes.

But she didn't give up, fearing that Mu Nanyue would do something stupid for her. Pei Jinshu felt regretful and blamed herself, and tried her best to stop her, "You, you can't..."

"Protector Yu is overthinking. Although I am engaged to the young master of the Pei family, our relationship is not deep." Mu Nanyue looked up at her, her voice indifferent and ruthless.

"If you want me to offer my spiritual blood with both hands, I can consider it. But disfiguring and blinding myself to save my future sister-in-law is a bit too much."

Mu Nanyue's red lips curled slightly, her narrow and bright eyes were calm, and she said bluntly: "My Mu family does not have to be the Pei family."

Pei Jinshu opened his eyes wide after he finished speaking. She was so ruthless...

"Reject the conditions I proposed?" Yu Hufa clicked his tongue twice, his playful eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, "Okay, okay, since Miss Mu doesn't want to save people..."

Her voice suddenly stopped.

I saw Mu Nanyue on the opposite side turning around and leaving with a group of guards. They walked very quickly, fearing that they would be caught up.

Protector Yu: “…” Hmm?

Really left? Was she playing a trick?

Pei Jinshu: “…”

There is really no love anymore!
"Wait!" Protector Yu spoke quickly with a gloomy face.
