The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 895: I Will Not Have an Asura Royal Clan Mother!
Chapter 895: I Will Not Have an Asura Royal Clan Mother!
"You!" Zhai Xing’s eyes were cold, filled with a hatred so strong he almost couldn’t resist attacking Nanli immediately.
However, Yun Yubai saw his intent and instinctively blocked Nanli, saying, "He says his name is Zhai Xing, one of the Asura Nine Guardians."
When Yun Jianchu heard her son’s voice, she was more excited than words could express.
But she quickly remembered the important matter at hand and immediately recalled this person.
She said, "Zhai Xing? He’s just a substitute; don’t blame you for not knowing him. To be honest, I barely remember him either."
Nanli: Substitute?
She knew the Asura King had nine great guardians. During the battle between the immortals and demons, the Deity Clan participated and severely wounded the Asura King.
At the same time, those nine guardians either died or were injured.
She vaguely remembered the names of the nine guardians, but Zhai Xing was not one of them.
Yun Jianchu explained: "Each of the Nine Guardians has a substitute. If one dies, the next one takes their place. The substitutes go through rigorous selection, but... how is it that after so many years, he’s still a Demon Ghost?"
Nanli couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Though Yun Jianchu was from the Asura Clan, she seemed to know a lot about the Asura King’s faction.
More importantly, Zhai Xing was clearly excited and respectful, calling her son "young master."
As she thought more about it, she suddenly understood.
The last Asura King only had two daughters.
One was called Xingmian.
The other was called Chuyun.
Chuyun—wasn’t that Yun Jianchu?
Nanli’s thoughts didn’t escape Yun Jianchu’s notice.
She calmly admitted, "Yes, I am the youngest daughter of the Asura King, Princess Chuyun!"
At that moment, Nanli’s heart sank.
But Yun Jianchu added, "Nanli, it is an honor that my noble bloodline remains within your body! Quickly, let Zhai Xing know. I doubt he will dare to act recklessly after that."
Nanli rolled her eyes: Princess? You’ve long since turned to dust, your body nothing more than a Demon Soul. He will still recognize you?
"He must recognize me! He calls me ’young master,’ he surely acknowledges me!" Yun Jianchu retorted.
Nanli: You want me to expose myself? Forget it!
Yun Jianchu was furious.
Her subordinates were right in front of her, but she was sealed and couldn’t break free, unable to possess Nanli’s body and reveal herself.
Just then, someone else caught on to the situation.
Shan Yang said, "I’ve read records about the Asura Nine Guardians. They are the Asura King’s underlings, sworn to serve the Asura Royal Clan. Master Yun, he... he called you ’young master.’ Could it be that you..."
Shanxun continued, "He has the bloodline of the Asura Royal Clan!"
The monks from the Divine Buddha Sect changed their expressions.
However, the world had changed over time. Except for those who eradicated the evil demons, most people knew very little about the Demon Clan and the Asura Clan.
The rest were confused, and Yun Yubai was one of them.
But he despised his Demon Bone, whether it was Demon Clan bloodline or Asura Royal Clan bloodline—it didn’t matter!
"I am not!" He clenched his fists.
"Young master, you don’t need to be so hostile about it."
It was Qingwu who spoke.
He lightly coughed and continued, "The bloodline of the Asura Royal Clan is very noble, rivaling even the Deity Clan. If one cultivates the Boundless Eternal Sutra, it could even surpass the Deity Clan!"
This praise pleased Zhai Xing.
He stared at Yun Yubai, puffing out his chest in pride and excitement. "Indeed! Your mother is Princess Chuyun. You resemble her quite a bit. Young master, I’ve been searching for you all these years, and I will serve you!"
"No! I am not!" Yun Yubai continued to deny it.
His temples were throbbing with veins.
He yelled, "I will not have an Asura Royal Clan mother! I refuse! And I don’t need your loyalty!"
Nanli immediately felt a pang of sorrow in her chest.
It was Yun Jianchu’s emotions.
"Master Yun, calm down," Nanli tried to comfort him.
But her words only made Yun Yubai dislike her even more.
In his past life, she had been the Divine Sovereign, pure and holy.
But now?
Not only was his cultivation far below hers, but now his true lineage was exposed to everyone!
He felt dirty. He was worthless.
"Demon Bone... I don’t want it!" Yun Yubai made a firm decision. "Demon Core, I don’t want it either!"
He raised his sword, intending to dig out his own Demon Bone and Demon Core.
"Young master!" Zhai Xing was panicked. "You can’t let young master dig out his Demon Bone!"
He attempted to act, but Nanli was faster. She slapped a talisman onto Yun Yubai’s forehead.
Yun Yubai’s vision went dark, and he fell forward.
Nanli caught him and handed him over to Bai Hao. "Please help take care of him."
Bai Hao didn’t want to accept him.
Cinian’s face darkened. "Nanli, you should know that since Master Yun is of both immortal and demon blood, and carries the Asura Royal Clan bloodline, he could easily go mad."
The mixed bloodline of an immortal and a demon, coupled with the world-destroying power of the Asura Royal Clan, meant that while one might gain much, they could also lose everything. The mixed bloodline often went berserk and lost control.
In short, keeping Yun Yubai alive wasn’t a good idea.
He should be killed immediately.
Nanli replied, "He originally had an immortal seal. After thousands of years, the bloodlines of immortals and demons have fused completely. He won’t lose control."
Cinian, hearing this, finally felt reassured.
"Amitabha, that’s good, that’s good."
Only then did Bai Hao feel at ease and take Yun Yubai.
But ahead, there was still one person and one demon.
Zhai Xing would not give up so easily after finding the "young master." "Nanli, that is my Asura young master. As long as you return the young master to me today, I will let you all leave safely."
Qingwu’s displeasure was apparent.
But he dared not say much and could only stand by.
Nanli said, "He is Yun Yubai, the Peak Master of Yunxiao Peak from the Seven Peaks Sect, not your Asura young master."
Zhai Xing squinted his eyes.
"It seems like you want to fight us, Nanli. You’re no longer the all-powerful Death God. You should weigh your own abilities! I’ll give you one last chance..."
"Return the young master... to me!"
Before he could finish speaking, Nanli vanished.
When he looked up again, she was already standing right in front of him!
The Six Paths Vajra Pestle struck straight down toward his forehead!
Zhai Xing sensed Nanli’s spiritual power was fully restored and was slightly surprised.
But he reacted quickly, raising his hand to unleash a burst of demonic energy.
The Vajra Pestle had the ability to break demonic energy.
Nanli gathered all her spiritual power and shattered the demonic force!
Dust flew up.
The wind howled.
With Nanli’s furious shout, the Vajra Pestle sped downward and pierced through Zhai Xing’s palm.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Yet Zhai Xing was a tough man.
When he saw the Buddha light spread, he didn’t scream. His eyes didn’t even blink. He immediately pulled out his sword and severed his own wrist.
As he broke free, Qingwu appeared next to Nanli, sword drawn to strike.
A powerful sword intent surrounded them, suppressing Nanli’s spiritual power. She couldn’t use her teleportation skill.
But she wasn’t without a plan.
Her left hand held a Teleportation Talisman.
Using the talisman wouldn’t consume any of her own spiritual power.
