The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 916: Enemy Attack!

But this news, Yining could hide for a while, but not for long.

The immortals soon realized something was wrong and quickly gathered at Yining’s immortal mansion to investigate. Coincidentally, it was the day Yun Jianchu gave birth.

As soon as she gave birth, the sky became turbulent, as though it were about to split apart. The child, with his forbidden mixed bloodline of immortals and demons, could not be concealed.

The immortals did not care about Yun Jianchu’s weakened state after childbirth and immediately investigated her identity. Upon learning that she was from the Asura Clan, their anger grew.

They never expected that Yining, at such a high level, could be so foolish!

All the immortals arrived, and Yining’s reputation was tarnished. However, at the time, there had been frequent conflicts between the Immortal World and the Demon Domain, and the immortals did not wish to directly deal with Yining, fearing the loss of their combat strength.

Fortunately, Yining eventually came to his senses and did not protect Yun Jianchu and her son. He first killed the child and then killed Yun Jianchu.

The immortals did not care whether Yining had truly realized his mistake or not. As long as he killed them, preventing the Immortal World from facing disgrace and not obstructing his future, it was enough.

Such a scandal was naturally covered up, and not a single word of it remained.

Crimson Nine Lands, speaking at the end, glared at Yun Yubai and coldly said:

"I only found out yesterday that Yun Jianchu was not just an ordinary Asura Clan member, but the Asura Princess! That makes you even more deserving of death!"

"But I clearly saw Celestial Emperor Yining personally end your life! He even threw you into the furnace! How did you survive?!"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

The furnace? That was a place that could burn even a primordial soul clean!

How could a newborn child survive that?

They were in a complete muddle, having no idea why this happened.

Yun Yubai trembled slightly, his face pale.

He asked, "What about my mother?"

Crimson Nine Lands knew what he was asking and replied, "Yun Jianchu, seeing that her child had died and having lost all hope of life, jumped into the furnace as well."

Yun Yubai’s heart was painfully clenched, and he couldn’t find words to speak.

Bai Hao shuddered and said, "Though Yun Jianchu was indeed despicable, you went so far as to be so ruthless! This is too much."

Ximen Chuan, not missing an opportunity to tease, glanced at Yun Yubai and then at Chu Yang, joking: "Oh, so you are the reincarnation of Huoyun Celestial Sovereign, huh? In that case, you’re Yun Yubai’s mother-killer, aren’t you? It was you two who forced her to death back then."

Chu Yang was calm as he replied, "You said I’m a reincarnation, so past grudges are nothing more than a bygone matter. You can say whatever you want, but I don’t recognize it."

Yun Yubai didn’t care about this at all.

He turned his gaze to Nanli.

The Crimson Glow Peak Master and Yun Shen were also silent, both of them hesitating to speak.

This was because Nanli had once said that Yun Yubai’s mother was inside her body.

Yun Shen couldn’t stand it anymore and asked, "Nanli Divine Sovereign, is what Crimson Nine Lands said true?"

Nanli felt a headache coming on.

Because after hearing Crimson Nine Lands’ version, Yun Jianchu was so furious that she couldn’t stop herself from wildly ranting in the small space available:

"Why am I accused of seducing and killing him?!"

"Those two brothers died outside, and I was pregnant at the time, busy nurturing my baby. How could I have time to kill them?!"

"Besides, do I even have the ability to kill them?!"

"Crimson Nine Lands, stop being so vague! If you want to scold me, just do it. Yining is clearly a bastard who dares to strip but not admit it!"

"Those immortals said they were giving Yining a chance to reform, but it was just because they were afraid there would be no one to resist the Demon Clan! They spoke so piously, but in reality, they were a bunch of despicable scoundrels!"

Yun Jianchu continued to scold angrily.

Nanli rubbed her forehead and said to everyone, "Let me calm down first." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

From the moment Crimson Nine Lands started speaking, Yun Jianchu hadn’t stopped ranting.

It was as though she was hearing two voices at once.

The three of them stared at Nanli, their eyes filled with inquiry and anticipation.

Siheng’s heart sank.

Could the Demon Soul within Nanli... be that of Asura Princess Yun Jianchu?

It seemed that Yun Yubai and the others all knew this.

But because many people were present, they hadn’t asked directly.

Not only Siheng, but even Cinian realized it.

The Vajra Umbrella was forged by Celestial Emperor Yining and had recognized Yun Yubai as its master. The Demon Soul inside it was most likely that of Yun Jianchu!

What kind of fate was this?

Cinian was deeply worried.

But at this moment, one of his disciples suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember both Master and Nanli had entered the secret realm within the Vajra Umbrella. Since it was forged by Celestial Emperor Yining, there must be some clues inside the secret realm, right?"

It was Shanxun who spoke.

Upon his reminder, Shandu and the others also recalled this matter.

Cinian was startled, and fearing the secret of Nanli’s Demon Soul might leak out, he immediately scolded, "That’s just an ordinary secret realm! You’re just talking nonsense, mind your words!"

Shanxun froze for a moment and quickly lowered his head, apologizing, "Master, forgive me. I was just puzzled and wanted to understand the whole situation..."

His expression clearly showed it was an innocent mistake.

Cinian was still angry but realized that the more he explained, the more suspicious it would seem.

Under everyone’s scrutiny, he coughed lightly and said, "The secret realm does have some spirit stones, not a small amount. Thinking about it now, they must have been left by Celestial Emperor Yining for Master Yun."

The twelve Shans all froze.

But wasn’t there demonic energy in the Vajra Umbrella?

The demonic energy only dissipated after they exited the secret realm.

How could Master say it was gone now?

But since the Master had spoken, they suppressed their doubts and kept quiet.

Nanli awkwardly added, "But I used some earlier. I apologize, Master Yun."

Yun Yubai shook his head lightly, "It’s fine."

Crimson Nine Lands, however, was sharp and said, "There was a secret realm inside the Vajra Umbrella? I understand now! Celestial Emperor Yining may have seemed heartless and unkind, but in truth, he used the Vajra Umbrella to protect the lives of the mother and child!"

"How do you figure that?" Bai Hao’s attention was piqued.

"Because the furnace was used to forge the Vajra Umbrella!" Crimson Nine Lands explained. "How could a monk like you lie? The furnace was used for a Demon Clan Asura sacrifice. Even though the Vajra Umbrella was forged, it is both an immortal artifact and a demonic one!"

This explanation seemed reasonable.

Crimson Nine Lands continued, "Since you survived, Yun Jianchu... she may still be alive! The secret realm! She might be in the secret realm!"

Everyone was stunned again.

Bai Hao reacted the most—he immediately stood up from his seat, distancing himself from the Vajra Umbrella.

Cinian’s heart skipped a beat.

This Crimson Nine Lands seemed hot-headed and reckless, but it turned out he had some brains.

Ximen Chuan immediately noticed Cinian’s nervousness and said, "Zen Master Cinian, is what Crimson Nine Lands said true? You, a monk, are actually lying?"

"This..." Cinian broke into a cold sweat.

Before he could clarify, the array barrier of Jialan Celestial Mountain suddenly shook violently.

The entire mountain trembled!

Everyone’s hearts tightened.

"What... what happened?!"

Siheng’s voice was calm, "Enemy attack."
