The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 887: The Umbrella Your Father Gave You, Yan Luo Strikes

Yun Yubai’s eyes were filled with confusion and astonishment. He was somewhat dazed, murmuring, "Why? Why would I have a Demon Bone?" It was precisely because of that Demon Bone that half of his inner pill had turned into a Demon Core! Nanli couldn’t believe it either, because when she had just taken Yun Yubai’s pulse, she hadn’t sensed anything. But... this demonic mark was the symbol of the Asura Clan, yet his eyes were black. Was he a half-breed?!

Yun Jianchu also shouted inside her body, "He’s a half-breed!!!" In an instant, Nanli’s mind raced through numerous possibilities. She asked, "Master Yun, who are your biological parents?" Yun Yubai was still in a daze. It was Crimson Glow Peak Master who replied, "No one knows. Junior brother was found in the forest by a family from a nearby town. They adopted him, and later, our master, seeing his exceptional talent, took him in as a personal disciple."

Nanli remained relatively calm. She stepped closer to Yun Yubai. Yun Yubai instinctively took a step back, "Stop, I’m from the Demon Clan! I might hurt you!" "Whether one is good or evil depends entirely on the person, not on whether you are human, immortal, or demon," Nanli said, "Extend your hand."

Yun Yubai felt a lump in his throat. He had dedicated his life to eradicating demons and evil spirits, never expecting that he himself would be from the Demon Clan. His senior sister and apprentice had instinctively avoided him, not daring to get close, fearing that he might harm them. He hadn’t expected that she would dare to approach him. He obediently extended his hand.

Nanli made a hand seal with one hand and grasped Yun Yubai’s wrist with the other, beginning her investigation. Her spiritual power circulated once and discovered that not only did he have a Demon Bone, but also Immortal Marrow and a trace of an immortal seal spell. However, the immortal seal spell, having endured ten thousand years, had become very faint. Moreover, Yun Yubai had accepted the power of the Glassy Bottle, which meant he had gained a thread of her divine power. This immediately shattered the immortal seal spell, allowing the Immortal Marrow and Demon Bone to re-emerge simultaneously.

She examined the remaining traces of the immortal seal spell and felt a faint familiarity, as if it carried the aura of an old acquaintance. Nanli withdrew her hand and directly asked, "Yun Jianchu, does your son have any birthmarks?"

Yun Jianchu, who had been harboring a glimmer of hope, became even more excited upon hearing Nanli’s question. She thought carefully and quickly replied, "He... he... he has a mole behind his right ear!"

Nanli then asked, "Master Yun, do you have a mole behind your right ear?" Yun Yubai was stunned. He had found it strange when Nanli suddenly spoke just now, wondering how she could accurately mention the mole behind his ear. Moreover, they shared the same surname. He quickly looked around, trying to see if there were any spirits nearby.

Nanli directly turned him around and, upon seeing the mole behind his right ear, reassured him, "Don’t look around. Your mother isn’t outside; she’s inside me." At this moment, the three people in the cave were all confused. What did she mean by "inside me"? Nanli estimated that time was running out and that they couldn’t investigate further at the moment, so she immediately made a hand seal to temporarily conceal Yun Yubai’s demonic mark.

She said, "We’ll talk about this after we break out. Master Yun, although half of your inner pill has turned into a Demon Core, with your intelligence, you’ll quickly learn how to use only spiritual power without touching the demonic power with a little practice." Yun Yubai was still dazed. Nanli couldn’t bear to see him like this and pinched him, saying, "Hurry up. Just thinking here won’t do any good." Yun Yubai snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, drawing his sword to begin practicing.

Yun Jianchu, inside Nanli’s body, was both excited and furious: "That’s my son!" "My son is still alive!" "Nanli, how could you pinch my precious son? If you hurt him, I’ll never let you off!"

As soon as Nanli stepped out of the cave, she saw that the Vajra Formation was about to be broken. She thought to herself: Stop complaining and focus on what’s important! The Vajra Formation broke open at that moment, causing a strong gust of wind. Yun Jianchu also knew what was most important at this moment and stood united with Nanli, saying, "Use the Heaven and Earth Vajra Umbrella!"

More cold blades were still coming. Nanli could certainly protect herself, but the Eleven Shans couldn’t defend themselves for the moment. She immediately took out the Vajra Umbrella. Under her spiritual power, the umbrella’s leaves, inscribed with the symbols of the universe, shone with golden light and flew into the sky. The Vajra Umbrella hovered above the Eleven Shans, spinning rapidly. Amidst the clanging sounds, the Vajra Umbrella completely blocked the remaining cold blades. However, the mountain peak was already in a sorry state, severely damaged.

Cinian and the other four had also returned. Their condition was still manageable. Seeing the situation, they immediately asked, "Kill or retreat?" "Let’s retreat first," Nanli said, not wanting to linger. Who knew when Qingwu would be able to detoxify? She put away the Vajra Umbrella. But unexpectedly, after the umbrella closed, it didn’t fall back into Nanli’s hand. The three people just walked out of the cave at that moment. The umbrella fell into Yun Yubai’s hands. "What’s this?" He had already encountered quite a few surprises today. This was a divine instrument—how could it end up in his hands?

Nanli realized what had happened but remained calm and said, "It’s a divine instrument forged by your father for you. Keep it and use it well." Cinian, who knew the whole story, was now wide-eyed and staring at Yun Yubai in shock. Cultivators riding their swords had already appeared in the sky. They couldn’t afford to delay any longer. Nanli said, "Take Crimson Glow Peak Master and let’s go!" Yun Yubai grabbed Crimson Glow Peak Master, "Senior sister, please." "Wait, junior brother, I’ve at least protected you before. Can’t you let me go now?" Crimson Glow Peak Master was almost in tears. Nanli smiled at her and said, "No way. You’ve seen our secrets." At this moment, Crimson Glow Peak Master wished she had blinded herself earlier, but it was too late. She could only be dragged along by Yun Yubai. Even if she struggled, she couldn’t overcome the puppet talisman on her body.

Bai Hao also wanted to know what their secrets were, but now he had to prioritize the bigger picture. He said, "I’ll cover the rear!" Ximen Chuan and Shandu’s spiritual power had been consumed quite a bit, so they didn’t force themselves further. After the Eleven Shans took to their swords, they positioned themselves on either side of the group. Ahead was Snowy Peak. Snowy Peak Master and his disciples were the first to arrive and block their way. He immediately saw Yun Yubai in the group and shouted, "Junior brother, are you being held hostage or something?! Why are you leaving with them?! Hurry up and bring senior sister over here!"

"Fifth senior brother, I’m sorry, but please let us pass!" Yun Yubai’s eyes turned cold. As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers, pressed together, swung out a sword intent. The sword intent was extremely fierce, growing larger as it flew forward. By the time it reached the front, it was like a towering wave several meters high, threatening to engulf the disciples. Even though Yun Yubai’s spiritual power hadn’t fully recovered, his sword intent was not something just anyone could block.

"Traitor!" Snowy Peak Master was furious and quickly shouted at his disciples to form a sword formation. The disciples remained calm in the face of danger. As soon as the sword formation was in place, they all swung their swords together. Their combined sword strike collided with Yun Yubai’s sword intent, exploding in mid-air and causing an even stronger gale. Snowy Peak Master knew he wasn’t a match, but he wanted to hold them back to buy time for the other senior brothers and disciples.

However, as the smoke cleared, a huge golden talisman had already fallen. This was... a Body-Freezing Talisman?! So large?! They didn’t even have a chance to dodge. Everyone was instantly immobilized. Nanli led her group to fly past them and casually reminded, "This Body-Freezing Talisman will last for an hour, but your Dantian won’t be affected. Don’t stop using your spiritual power, or you’ll fall straight down."

Snowy Peak Master wanted to curse at her, but she was flying the fastest. How could she hear his voice? However, he wasn’t worried because ever since the Seven Peaks Sect had activated the Sky Net Formation, the entrance to the mountain gate’s barrier had been completely sealed. Only the Sect Leader, with the Sect Leader’s token, could reopen the barrier entrance.

So, Yun Yubai also reminded Nanli of this. "Going to the mountain gate now is useless; the guarding disciples can’t open the barrier anymore." "I know," Nanli’s voice came through. "Just keep flying forward; I’ll clear the way!" Meanwhile, Yun Jianchu didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous and was instead happily boasting, "Nanli, did you see? My son is not only good-looking but also has exceptional skills!"

Nanli finally responded to her, "My husband is the same." Yun Jianchu said, "How can Siheng compare to my son!" But Nanli didn’t have time to entertain her anymore.

Ahead was the end of the barrier. And Ji Chengyi, along with the three Peak Masters, were chasing them relentlessly from behind. Seeing this, Ji Chengyi let out a maniacal laugh and used his spiritual power to transmit his voice: "Nanli, you have nowhere to run!" He hadn’t expected that Nanli would really rescue Yun Yubai. Although he didn’t know how she did it, her cultivation hadn’t advanced, which meant she hadn’t obtained the Glassy Bottle. That was even more reason not to let her escape. Once she got her hands on the Glassy Bottle that Yun Yubai had hidden, her strength would surge, and even Qingwu wouldn’t be able to deal with her.

But thinking of this, Ji Chengyi became even more anxious. He didn’t know what Qingwu was up to, as there was no response at all. But ahead, Nanli once again took out the Sky-Tearing Sword. Yun Yubai saw it, and his eyes dimmed slightly. Nanli cast a talisman and, while flying, began to gather her power, sweeping out a sword strike horizontally. The blade’s cold light shot out. The sound of it cutting through the air was piercing. It struck the Seven Peaks Sect’s barrier, causing a loud explosion. The entire territory of the Seven Peaks Sect trembled. The barrier tore open with a hole in the midst of the loud noise.

Nanli calmly sheathed her sword and flew out first. The others, though not as fast as her, followed closely. Ji Chengyi, watching from behind, almost had a heart attack. The three Peak Masters all changed their expressions. Nanli had casually broken through the barrier with a single sword strike. How were they supposed to chase her now? Even if they caught up, could they possibly defeat her? It was possible that Nanli was luring them into a trap, letting those with lower cultivation escape while keeping the few with higher cultivation behind.

Just as Ji Chengyi hesitated after flying out of the barrier, he heard a cold, sinister voice: "Nanli, I knew you’d be here!" The voice was somewhat familiar. Ji Chengyi looked over. He was old, but it was Jade Wall Peak Master who reminded him, "Senior Sect Leader, the person is on the right!" There, on the right, someone was flying rapidly towards them. Clad in a black robe and wearing a mask that concealed their face, their aura was eerie. But their voice was unmistakable.

"Yan Luo?" Ji Chengyi was astonished. "How did she suddenly gain such powerful strength and overwhelming pressure?" In many major sects, many disciples secretly looked down on Yan Luo as a good-for-nothing. They all felt the pressure, and though they wanted to speak, the words stuck in their throats. Yan Luo had already flown to Nanli’s front, blocking her way, and struck out with a palm. Nanli’s face remained unchanged as she met the palm strike head-on.

However, she couldn’t withstand the force and was sent flying backward. Several people panicked. Yun Yubai instinctively moved to go to her. Ximen Chuan also made a move. But Shandu, being the closest, quickly used his spiritual power to stabilize Nanli’s form without touching her. "Thank you," Nanli said, unharmed, before looking at the person in front of her and asking, "Who are you?"
