The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 870: Everyone Has a Chance to Contract with Crimson Nine Lands

Chapter 870: Everyone Has a Chance to Contract with Crimson Nine Lands

At this moment, in a deep mountain forest in the Upper Realm, the night had fallen, and the occasional sharp cries of spiritual birds echoed through the woods.

Chu Yang had been hiding for quite some time, thinking that he could wait for his injuries to heal. However, he didn’t expect to be surrounded tonight. He had been discovered!

And the one coming to capture him was none other than Ji Chengyi, the Sect Leader of Seven Peaks Sect!

With such a huge disparity in strength, how could Chu Yang possibly resist?

There was no choice; he had to use all of his spiritual power to control his sword and escape.

But unexpectedly, as he flew through the dense forest, he found himself unable to break out.

What was going on?

Chu Yang was caught off guard and crashed into something ahead, causing him to fall. He quickly gathered his energy to steady himself and landed neatly on the ground.

It was an open area, and there were several people standing on either side.

Clearly, these were two different factions.

He paused in surprise.

By the time Ji Chengyi arrived, he was also taken aback when he saw the people present.

"Yan Luo?" Ji Chengyi gracefully landed and squinted his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

The people on the right were disciples from Penglai Island, with Yan Luo at their head.

On the left, however, stood a man and a young boy.

The man seemed unremarkable, but it was the young boy who caught attention. He wore a tight-fitting red robe with narrow sleeves, his hair was tied up high, and he had a red jewel crown on his forehead. He was handsome, haughty, and full of vitality.

The boy held a long spear, which looked dull and dark, not very eye-catching.

Yan Luo did not expect such a situation to arise while they were hunting a disciple who had betrayed their sect.

She remained composed, saluting Ji Chengyi, "Uncle Ji, I’m just here with my team to catch a traitor from Penglai Island."

Ji Chengyi raised an eyebrow. It was known that Yan Luo had long since left Penglai Island, and she hadn’t returned even during her father’s burial. Clearly, this traitor was very important to her.

As expected, Yan Luo couldn’t hide her impatience and added, "Uncle Ji, are you also after Chu Yang? If so, allow us to assist you."

She had monitored Chu Yang’s family several times and had already seen his appearance. She had also learned much about the Upper Realm from the Telestone. Had it not been for a more important task, she wouldn’t have handed Chu Yang over to Ji Chengyi.

With her command, the disciples of Penglai Island prepared to make a move.

Ji Chengyi, however, did not rush. He wanted to see what Yan Luo was up to. But before he could react, the young boy in red swiftly moved forward, brandishing his spear in a sweeping motion, driving the Penglai Island disciples back.

The spear in the boy’s hand moved with a fiery glow, creating a blaze as it sliced through the air.

Ji Chengyi froze momentarily and shouted in surprise, "Is that... Crimson Nine Lands?!"

Yan Luo nearly passed out from shock.

This was bad. Tonight was destined to be a night full of complications!

She quickly responded, "Uncle Ji, this traitor stole the Crimson Nine Lands. If you help us retrieve it, Penglai Island will be eternally grateful and repay you in the future."

Ji Chengyi’s eyes narrowed, his mind now clear, "No wonder you didn’t return for your father’s burial, you’ve been searching for Crimson Nine Lands."

That was a celestial artifact!

If he obtained it, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

The heavens had finally smiled upon him, giving him such an opportunity!

His killing intent flared.

"Yan Luo, your father always favored you most. You should be with him now," Ji Chengyi said, with a cold smile.

Yan Luo’s face turned icy. She immediately realized what Ji Chengyi was up to.

She responded in a frosty tone, "Uncle Ji, are you really going to oppose Penglai Island?"

"Penglai Island?" Ji Chengyi sneered. "Your father is dead. Your third brother is dead. Even the most senior elder, Jiang Chongliang, is dead." He raised his chin mockingly. "You don’t know? Just yesterday, House Sima suffered heavy losses while trying to stop the Bai family from escaping. It has already fallen apart."

Yan Luo’s heart sank.

She truly hadn’t known about these events.

She never expected that while she was chasing down this traitor, the Immortal World would undergo such drastic changes.

Now that she had cornered the traitor here, how could she back down?

"Uncle Ji, my mother told me that the Venerable Master is my Second Brother’s godfather now." Yan Luo’s voice held a threatening tone.

Ji Chengyi weighed the situation carefully.

Chu Yang, seeing their quarrel escalating, quietly began to move backward, hoping to sneak away unnoticed.

But the boy in red blocked his path and shouted loudly, "Don’t you dare leave!"

Chu Yang initially thought the boy was trying to help him, but to his surprise, the boy’s loud shout drew both Ji Chengyi and Yan Luo’s attention.

Ji Chengyi finally remembered that he was here to capture Chu Yang. He took out a binding spirit rope, intending to capture Chu Yang first before negotiating with Yan Luo.

The boy in red raised an eyebrow and swung his spear, severing the binding rope with ease.

Ji Chengyi was taken aback, his thoughts racing. "This traitor is indeed powerful. He can wield celestial artifacts so effortlessly."

"You’re struggling to protect yourself, yet you still want to shield others?" Ji Chengyi sneered.

The boy in red rolled his eyes and gave a thumbs-up, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. I’m a Ware Elf!"

"He’s the traitor from Penglai Island!" The boy in red pointed at the man on the left.

The traitor’s face turned pale as he fell to his knees, crying, "Grandfather! I brought you out! Please spare me!"

Ji Chengyi raised an eyebrow and looked at Yan Luo, "Is he really a Ware Elf?"

Yan Luo, reluctant to hide the truth, nodded.

Ji Chengyi folded his arms. "This is troublesome. With a Ware Elf, no one can claim Crimson Nine Lands as their own."

Yan Luo’s face darkened.

Ji Chengyi was right. The elder had been killed by the Ware Elf earlier.

However, she still had a bit of confidence left. She turned to the boy in red and said, "Crimson Nine Lands, I’m sure you’re here to test me. That’s why you’ve left our subordinates alive and haven’t wiped us out. At this point, you should recognize me as your master. Otherwise, I can’t protect you!"

The boy in red grinned, revealing his small tiger teeth.

He looked at Yan Luo with disdain and said, "You? Not worthy!"

Yan Luo was taken aback. "Crimson Nine Lands, you’ve always been kept by our Penglai Island. You should recognize the Yan family as your master!"

The boy in red stuck out his tongue and said, "I won’t!"

Ji Chengyi cleared his throat and stepped forward. "It seems that I’m your destined master. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have met here tonight."

"Heh, you’re quite good at talking," the boy in red smirked, showing a sly grin.

Ji Chengyi’s heart lifted.

If the Ware Elf directly accepted him as its master, Penglai Island would have no say in the matter. Qingwu would also have no complaints.

Yan Luo was desperate. "Ji Chengyi, stop acting like a fool. This is our Penglai Island’s treasure!"

Ji Chengyi shrugged nonchalantly, "It’s clear that the Ware Elf prefers me. What can we do about it?"

As the two bickered fiercely, Chu Yang saw another chance to slip away.

"I told you not to leave!" the boy in red snapped, grabbing his sleeve in frustration. "He’s right! Meeting is fate, and everyone here tonight has a chance to contract with me!"
