The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 899: This Divine Sovereign Finally Played Her Due Role

Cinian’s face turned red with embarrassment, but since he was the eldest among them, he still said, "We should still go and see what’s going on, maybe we can help in some way."

"With a Celestial Sovereign here, do we really need to help?" Ximen Chuan said, his tone tinged with jealousy.

Cinian found it odd but didn’t have time to think too much. Before he could, Ximen Chuan had already cleaned his hands and was pulling out an empty Qiankun Bag, ready to store Qingwu’s belongings.

"Wait! What are you doing? These belong to Nanli!" Cinian stopped him.

Ximen Chuan replied, "She has so many good things, does she really need these? Besides, we’re helping her fight, shouldn’t we get something in return?"

Cinian hadn’t moved yet when Chu Yang suddenly made a swift move, too fast for Ximen Chuan to react.

The sharp tip of a spear was pressed against Ximen Chuan’s neck.

"Pack it up, give it to me." Chu Yang’s voice was dark and threatening.

Ximen Chuan wasn’t afraid. He turned and laughed, "You’re so greedy. You eat all the meat, and can’t even share a little broth with us?"

Chu Yang responded, "These are Sixth Sister’s things. When she returns, she will distribute them. You’ll get your fair share."

Ximen Chuan pursed his lips, clearly displeased.

Cinian added, "Even if Nanli takes everything, it’s still not worth a single Glassy Bottle."

Chu Yang agreed with a light sigh and couldn’t help but glance at Yun Yubai.

Bai Hao, who had only been exhausted before and had not fainted, finally recovered and asked eagerly, "Cinian, what did Qingwu say earlier? What about the divine power, inner dan, and blood essence? You need to explain it clearly."

Cinian ignored him. It was hard enough to find an empty Qiankun Bag, so they had to put everything in it. Ever since they started following Nanli, they had been running low on Qiankun Bags.

Many of them were filled with spirit stones, kept for emergencies, so finding an empty one was no easy feat.

Ximen Chuan spotted several valuable books and tried to secretly pocket them.

Chu Yang immediately noticed and said, "Put that down, I said this is the last warning."

Ximen Chuan felt a stinging sensation in his neck, realizing it was already bleeding. Reluctantly, he put the items down, mumbling, "Why are both of you so harsh? Not a shred of mercy between you?"

Nanli, that ironclad miser, would probably not share anything with him anyway. With this thought, he decided not to bother with it.

He plopped down on the ground to rest.

Cinian glared at him, "You heartless brat, you dug out Qingwu’s inner dan, isn’t that enough of a reward?"

There was a lot to pack up, and if he had to do it alone, it would take a long time.

Bai Hao added, "Exactly! Ximen Chuan, Qingwu’s inner dan was from the Great Achievement stage! You really hit the jackpot! Remember, when you make pills, save one for me."

Ximen Chuan acted like he didn’t hear it, but since Nanli hadn’t stopped him, he thought for a moment and decided to lend Cinian a hand.

Bai Hao spoke up again, "Cinian! I’ve already convinced him to help, now you need to explain everything to us!"

Ximen Chuan remained silent, but his ears were perked up.

The Crimson Glow Peak Master and Yun Shen were both curious.

At that moment, Chu Yang suddenly made a sharp move, his presence so powerful that everyone thought there was another attack coming. Their hearts skipped a beat.

But when they looked, it turned out that Yan Luo, who had been unconscious earlier, had stirred and tried to escape. Chu Yang kicked her back.

After taking a blow from Siheng earlier, her Demon Core had cracked and was no longer usable.

"How dare you..." Yan Luo struggled to push herself up. "I am the Fourth Young Miss of Penglai Island. You... how dare you attack me..."

As she spoke, the mask on her face shattered completely.

It fell to the ground with several loud cracks.

Everyone saw her face clearly.

It was covered in scars.

It was a pitiful sight.

The Crimson Glow Peak Master couldn’t help but ask, "What... what happened to your face?"

Yan Luo was filled with terror and squinted as the sunlight stung her eyes. She quickly tore off a corner of her dress to cover her face.

Gasping for breath, she warned, "Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me!!!"

After the initial shock, everyone soon regained their composure.

Yun Shen, always the most direct, said, "Those who do evil will bring about their own downfall."

"Indeed," Cinian nodded in agreement.

Although he knew that Yan Luo had not been involved in the scheme against Nanli in her past life—she hadn’t even been born yet—he still despised her. After all, Yan Luo was the daughter of Yan Buxiu!

Over the past thousand years, Immortal World had thrived on Nanli’s blood and flesh, and Penglai Island had grown strong due to the unyielding Spirit Tree, gaining many resources and power.

Thus, he hated Yan Luo.

Yan Luo’s face remained covered, and she finally calmed down. When she had seen Siheng appear and watched Nanli protect her so fiercely, her heart ached in anguish.

With all her grievances and pain, her voice was weak as she muttered, "Shut up! What do you think you are? You have no right to talk about me!"

Cinian shook his head as he saw her still defiant.

"Stubborn to the end..."

Yan Luo let out a strange laugh and said, "Aren’t you all curious about who Nanli really is? And what this Glassy Bottle is? I’ll tell you. Nanli was indeed a Divine Sovereign in the past, but her power was insufficient and she was defeated by my father and his people!"

"A Divine Sovereign, defeated by a few immortals. Tsk, it’s shameful and laughable! She wasn’t even qualified to be a god! So, my father decided to use her for one last purpose!"

"He had her blood and flesh carved out, and her inner dan shattered, all of it placed in six Glassy Bottles to nourish the Spirit Tree! The Spirit Tree, which was on the brink of withering, was revived! Nanli... this Divine Sovereign, finally fulfilled her true value!"

Chu Yang’s anger flared instantly.

Veins bulged on his neck and forehead, and with a fierce kick, he sent Yan Luo flying.

"What are you babbling about!"

Yan Luo turned her head and saw the shock on everyone’s faces. They all stood frozen, mouths agape, unable to speak. Inside, she felt a rush of joy.

The Crimson Glow Peak Master blurted, "But... but back then, they clearly found the Immortal Liquid to keep the Spirit Tree growing, how could it have been... been..."

She couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.

"Using the blood and flesh of a Divine Sovereign to nourish the Spirit Tree, how dare you say such a thing? Crimson Glow Peak Master, don’t be ungrateful. You wouldn’t have reached the Nascent Soul stage without my father’s help!" Yan Luo sneered.

She then glared at Cinian and continued, "You Divine Buddha Sect too! All of you cultivators from Immortal World, who hasn’t benefited from my father’s grace! And now... now you’re treating the daughter of your benefactor like this. Where’s your conscience!"

Bai Hao hadn’t expected the truth to be like this.

After all, the Bai family was in the Upper Realm and had enjoyed the Spirit Tree’s aura.

For a moment, guilt washed over him, and he asked, "Cinian, is this true?"

Nanli... that girl, no, based on this, she must be much older than he was. He could call her ancestor, or even great-ancestor.
