Practicing Qi to snatch a Yuanying for marriage? Do you think this is a female channel?

Nangong Zhiyan had always bullied Nangong Jinglan. She knew that her father wouldn't care about minor squabbles, but if it really came to the point of losing an arm or a leg or being killed... she was afraid she wouldn't get away with it either.

"No, system! If I really cut off her arm, my father won't let me get away with it!"

[Host, failing to complete the mission will result in being eliminated by the system!]

[Besides, your father made her travel thousands of miles back to the capital, probably intending for her to die on the way. Why worry so much?]

Nangong Zhiyan was skeptical, so she leaned out of the carriage and looked at Nangong Jinglan, who was struggling to walk at the front.

Watching her walk forward step by step, her disheveled appearance made Nangong Zhiyan burst out laughing.

"System, I accept. Tonight, I'll cripple her hands!"

Nangong Jinglan sensed a chill coming from behind him and turned around to see Nangong Zhiyan looking at him with ill intent.

A murderous glint flashed in her eyes. For so many years, she had been enduring it all, just to find out the truth behind her mother's death.

Otherwise, with her current cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage, she could find a place anywhere after escaping the palace!
Night fell, a lone half-moon hung high in the sky, and a cool breeze blew. Guards patrolled around the camp, including Nangong Zhiyan and two men.
The three women sat around the campfire. The two men and three women were daughters of noble families in the capital, who had come to visit with Nangong Zhiyan.

Nangong Zhiyan glanced at Nangong Jinglan, who was huddled under a large rock not far away, and then turned to the five people beside her and said, "Whoever cuts off Nangong Jinglan's arm, I will reward you with a top-grade spiritual treasure."

The five men felt their brows throbbing violently. What a joke! Cutting off a princess's arm? They didn't want to die!
Nangong Jinglan was also filled with disbelief upon hearing this.

Not only did she put me in shackles, but she actually dared to attack me directly!
Nangong Jinglan remained silent, merely watching coldly. She didn't believe Nangong Zhiyan would dare to go that far; her father would never let her off!

Under Nangong Jinglan's astonished gaze, Nangong Zhiyan stood up and said coldly, "I knew you useless people couldn't be relied on. I had to take matters into my own hands!"

As Nangong Zhiyan spoke, she walked towards Nangong Jinglan.

The woman accompanying her hurriedly stood up: "Third Princess, you mustn't! Nangong Jinglan is the Fifth Princess. Without His Majesty's decree, you must not make a move!"

Nangong Zhiyan glanced at her disdainfully: "Ruan Qing, what, is your Pingxi Marquis's mansion still going to stand on that slut's side?"

Ruan Qing hesitated, her face pale.

Although the Marquis of Pingxi was only a marginal figure in the purges of that year, he was still affected. His dukedom was demoted to marquis, and his grandfather, the Duke of Pingxi, was also ordered to commit suicide.

Seeing that she was no longer speaking, Nangong Zhiyan withdrew her gaze and continued walking towards Nangong Jinglan.

“Nangong Jinglan, if you don’t want to wear shackles, your elder sister will grant your wish; you can simply cut off one of your arms.”

If she could complete the system task without doing it herself, Nangong Zhiyan felt there was no need to take that risk.

Nangong Jinglan's gaze darkened: "Royal sister, if you insist on doing this, you will definitely regret it!"

Nangong Zhiyan probably never expected Nangong Jinglan to defy her, and she was immediately enraged: "You bitch! You dare to threaten me!"

Nangong Zhiyan took out a sharp sword and slashed at Nangong Jinglan's right arm; the sword gleamed coldly.

Startled, Nangong Jinglan could no longer conceal his cultivation level. With his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, he broke through the cultivation seal and kicked Nangong Zhiyan's hand, sending the longsword flying far away.

Nangong Zhiyan's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You...you are at the Nascent Soul Realm? You've been hiding your cultivation all this time?"

Ruan Qing and his group were also stunned by this scene. Among the younger generation, the strongest was only the Third Princess Nangong Zhiyan, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Almost everyone was stuck at this level and needed time to break through.

How did Nangong Jinglan manage to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm so quickly?
Among the guards, two Nascent Soul Realm experts quickly arrived and blocked Nangong Zhiyan's path. After deciding to resist, Nangong Jinglan immediately activated her cultivation to try and break free of the shackles, only to discover that the shackles were actually inscribed with array patterns. She tried several times to break free of them by activating her Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, but to no avail.

Nangong Zhiyan stared at her with lingering fear, thinking to herself that it was fortunate that she had replaced the Hongzhi Shackles she obtained from the system halfway through, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been able to restrain her!

Seeing that the two guards were in position, Nangong Zhiyan said coldly, "Nangong Jinglan has gone mad. She actually tried to assassinate her own elder sister. You two, cut off her hands for me!"

Both of the Nascent Soul Realm guards were Nangong Zhiyan's men, and they were involved in everything Nangong Zhiyan did.

The fact that Nangong Jinglan was actually at the Nascent Soul Realm was a devastating blow to them. Such a being could not be allowed to live!

The battle between the three Nascent Soul Realm experts quickly erupted, with the two guard commanders attacking Nangong Jinglan from the left and right.

Despite being shackled, Nangong Jinglan struggled to cope, but after several attacks, her strength was almost completely depleted.

"Death!"

One of the commanders roared and slammed his warhammer down, aiming straight at Nangong Jinglan.

Unable to dodge in time, Nangong Jinglan's pale and pretty face flashed with determination as she used her shackles to block the hammer blow.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the shackles around Nangong Jinglan's neck exploded, freeing him from his restraints.

However, Nangong Jinglan was not in good condition due to the violent impact. His dantian was in chaos and his meridians were covered with cracks. This was the result of his forced resistance.

Nangong Jinglan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at them with murderous intent.

Sensing the unique pressure and chilling killing intent emanating from her, Nangong Zhiyan involuntarily retreated.

Kill her! Kill her now!

The two commanders launched another attack on Nangong Jinglan. The heavily injured Nangong Jinglan withstood several attacks but could no longer withstand them and was on the verge of death.

Seeing that Nangong Jinglan was already seriously injured and on the verge of death, Nangong Zhiyan excitedly rushed forward: "Let me do it, let me kill her!"

She charged forward with her sword, its blade gleaming coldly, aiming straight for Nangong Jinglan.

Nangong Jinglan felt despair; this was an absolute dead end, one she couldn't resist.

"Buzz!"

Golden divine light burst forth, and the power of space flowed. To Nangong Jinglan's astonishment, her body was swept into the spatial passage and vanished in an instant.

When Nangong Zhiyan's sword struck, Nangong Jinglan had already vanished without a trace.

"What happened? Where is Nangong Jinglan? Where is she?"

She questioned him angrily, but no one answered.

On the other side, Nangong Jinglan felt the scene before him changing rapidly. Half an hour later, the scene before him suddenly opened up, becoming clear and bright, and he returned to the outside world.

Not far in front of her, a handsome young man was grilling meat, and an enticing aroma filled the air. (End of Chapter)
