Chapter 150: I Also Cast a Small Seal

"The Profound Ice Devouring Heart Talisman requires one's own refined blood as a conduit and must be combined with a specific seal spell to be dispelled. You… you will channel your true qi into Su Xiaonuan's dantian, let it travel along her meridians to the heart pulse; I will recite the dispelling incantation, and you follow my rhythm to drive the true qi, then you can draw the talisman's power out of the body."

After a round of turmoil, Dantai Li still ran away.

Jiang Feng, upon hearing, did not hesitate, leaned forward and pressed his palm onto Su Xiaonuan's dantian.

The Golden True Qi carefully advanced along Su Xiaonuan's chaotic meridians.

"Focus your spirit and calm your qi, follow my mantra."

Dantai Li's voice carried a hint of weakness.

"Heaven and earth's Profound Ice, bound by blood, the talisman is formed, there is a way to dispel it…"

As her mantra rang out, Jiang Feng immediately adjusted the rhythm of the true qi's flow; the Golden True Qi seemed to be given life, slowly enveloping the talisman core at the heart pulse.

The talisman's power sensed the threat and instantly turned ferocious; a bone‑piercing cold burst from Su Xiaonuan's body, and the surrounding air condensed into fine ice particles.

Jiang Feng's gaze hardened, the Zhen Long Yu Wang technique within him surged at full power, and the Golden True Qi spiked instantly.

He followed Dantai Li's guidance, his fingertips rapidly altered the seal spell, guiding the true qi to gradually sever the connection between the talisman and Su Xiaonuan's heart pulse.

"Puff!"

A light sound, and Su Xiaonuan expelled a mouthful of black cold.

The cold hit the ground and instantly solidified into a tiny Ice Talisman, which then vanished into nothing.

As the Ice Talisman dissipated, a hint of color returned to Su Xiaonuan's pale face.

The Yin Cold Power within her receded rapidly like the ebbing tide.

Jiang Feng withdrew his palm, watched Su Xiaonuan slowly open her eyes, and felt a slight sigh of relief.

Su Xiaonuan's vision was a bit blurry; what came into view was Su Xueyan's face full of concern.

She froze for a moment, a trace of bewilderment flashed in her eyes, and she spoke weakly, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.

"Xue Yan sister? I… wasn't I dead?"

She remembered being struck by that sudden burst of cold, her five organs and six viscera felt as if frozen, the excruciating pain unbearable.

She then lost consciousness, thinking she would never wake again.

Jiang Feng stood nearby, a faint cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Want to die? Not that easy. This life of yours was begged back to me by Xue Yan."

Only then did Su Xiaonuan fully regain consciousness, looked around, and saw Dantai Li whose acupoints were sealed by silver needles.

She finally understood that she had truly been rescued.

She struggled to rise, her body still weak, staggered once before steadied herself.

Guilt surged to her heart like a tide.

She turned, her gaze complex as she looked at Su Xueyan, lips murmuring, trying to say something apologetic.

"Nothing needs to be said."

Su Xueyan, however, cut her off first, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Xiaonuan, regardless of what happened before, you ultimately chose to save me. I keep this gratitude in my heart. Let the past stay past."

These years, Su Xiaonuan lived under Dantai Li's control, unable to act of her own will; she can understand that despair and helplessness.

Now Xiaonuan not only saved her, but completely betrayed Dantai Li, effectively breaking free from the past shackles.

Tears instantly welled in Su Xiaonuan's eyes; she carefully looked at Su Xueyan, her gaze full of hope and anxiety.

"Xue Yan sister, you… do you still recognize me as your sister?"

Su Xueyan extended her hand, gently clasping hers.

"Silly girl, you have always been my sister."

Those words completely melted the ice in Su Xiaonuan's heart.

She could no longer hold back, leapt into Su Xueyan's arms, and cried out loudly.

Su Xueyan gently patted her back, tears also glimmering in her eyes.

All the barriers finally vanished in that moment.

The sisters embraced and wept for a moment; Su Xueyan then wiped her tears, turned to Jiang Feng and asked softly.

"Jiang Feng, what should be done with Dantai Li?"

Jiang Feng's gaze fell on Dantai Li's body on the ground, his brows slightly furrowed.

Dantai Li is a Core Disciple of the Cold Hall, whose heritage dates back to antiquity, power unfathomable.

If she were killed, it would inevitably provoke the Cold Hall's mad revenge.

With his current strength, he is not afraid, but those around him would inevitably be implicated.

Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan would become the Hall's primary targets.

But if she were released, with her Grand Master's cultivation and Vengeful Gaze nature, she would not settle peacefully.

Once she returns to the Cold Hall, she will certainly rise again; then preparing against her would be as hard as scaling the heavens.

Killing is not an option, releasing is not either; indeed a thorny dilemma.

Su Xiaonuan also looked at Jiang Feng with worry.

If the problem of Dantai Li cannot be solved, then even though she survived now, she will ultimately not escape death.

After pondering for a long while, a flash of brilliance suddenly lit Jiang Feng's eyes, and a meaningful smile curled his lips.

"I have a way."

"What way?"

Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan simultaneously asked curiously.

Jiang Feng, however, gave a mysterious smile, without elaborating.

"You'll know in a moment."

He stepped forward, bent down and removed several silver needles from Dantai Li's body.

Only a few needles at the key Acupoints remained, which can keep her conscious and also limit her actions.

A moment later, the three of them walked up to Dantai Li.

When Dantai Li opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Feng still holding that box of silver needles in his hand.

Her body instinctively flinched, and her eyes were filled with shock.

The earlier heart‑rending suffering had already become an inescapable nightmare for her.

"I've already dispelled the talisman, you… you either let me go or kill me!"

Dantai Li forced herself to stay calm, but her voice carried a barely perceptible tremor.

She would rather die than endure that kind of suffering again.

Jiang Feng looked at her terrified expression and suddenly laughed.

He stepped forward and patted Dantai Li's shoulder.

"Don't worry, since Su Xiaonuan is fine, I will definitely let you go."

Dantai Li only felt a slight tingling where her shoulder was patted.

She frowned slightly, but didn't take it to heart.

Hearing Jiang Feng say he would let her go, she was ecstatic inside.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true."

Jiang Feng's smile was radiant.

"However, I have one condition. From now on, you must not plot against Xue Yan and Su Xiaonuan again, and you must not let the people of Cold Hall trouble them."

"I promise you!"

Dantai Li immediately nodded repeatedly, fearing Jiang Feng might renege.

"I assure you, from now on I will never lay a hand on Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan again, nor will I let the people of Cold Hall harass them!"

How could that be possible!

As long as she can leave here alive and return to Cold Hall, she will immediately ask the sect's Elder to intervene.

Then she will surely be able to crush Jiang Feng to dust, capture Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan back, make them endure the greatest suffering in the world, to avenge today's grievance!

However, just as that vicious thought rose in Dantai Li's mind, a pain a hundred times more intense than before suddenly erupted throughout her body!

"Ah!"

A scream of extreme anguish ripped the silence of the Secret Room, and Dantai Li's body convulsed violently like a sieve, her eyes wide open, blood‑shot, her face etched with ultimate pain and disbelief.

It lasted only a moment, and Dantai Li could no longer hold on.

Her eyes rolled back, she fainted again, her body collapsed softly onto the ground, her breath as weak as a dying candle in the wind.

Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan were startled by the sudden turn of events; they exchanged a glance and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Jiang Feng, what… what is this?"

Su Xueyan couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Feng withdrew his hand, and his smile gradually faded, replaced by a chill of cold.

He looked at the fainted Dantai Li and let out a cold laugh.

"It's nothing, I just placed a Seal on her as well."
