The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 975: Yun Yubai Is Not a Pure Demon Clan Member

The independent cultivators stared at Bai Hao intently, engaging in a serious discussion:

"This person is..."

"An elder from Jialan Celestial Mountain? Doesn’t look like it." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Ha, look at him, covered in dust, dressed so plainly. He doesn’t look like someone important—he must be just a runner. What are you still guessing for?"

"Your friend has a point!"

After that, no one bothered to glance at Bai Hao anymore.

Bai Hao was taken aback, quickly wiping his face, muttering, "This is ridiculous! I am..."

Before he could finish, a figure surged from the crowd, murderous intent radiating from their every move.

Another person descended from the sky, their long sword gleaming with a cold, menacing light.

What’s going on?

The independent cultivators felt a shift in the atmosphere but couldn’t make out who the person was, too slow to scatter in time.

The person was coming straight for Yun Yubai!

Li Changyun, standing closest, paled and immediately summoned several talismans to try to intercept the attacker.

However, the talismans were shredded before they even fully materialized, like mere pieces of paper in front of the incoming sword.

Yun Yubai, realizing the gravity of the situation, wanted to fight back, but he discovered that his spiritual energy was nearly depleted.

The person was intent on taking his life!

In a flash, he summoned the Vajra Umbrella, but the opponent’s sword intent was so fierce, and with the formation supporting them from behind, Yun Yubai didn’t have enough energy to control the Vajra Umbrella. He feared it would not withstand the strike.

Just as the situation became dire, Bai Hao had already jumped to Yun Yubai’s side.

"Master Yun, I am here!"

Thanks to the rich spiritual energy from Jialan Celestial Mountain, Bai Hao was able to circulate his energy and heal his injuries halfway.

He poured his energy into the Vajra Umbrella.

He wasn’t being cowardly; it was because he could sense the overwhelming power of the attacker. This person’s cultivation was far superior to his own!

It was simply impossible to fight head-on.

The Vajra Umbrella spun mid-air, scattering golden light, with the Eight Trigrams symbols shining particularly brightly. The independent cultivators watched in awe, feeling a twinge of envy.

However, the sword descended with a tremendous crash, the sound reverberating throughout the area.

Bang!!

The Eight Trigrams symbols on the Vajra Umbrella began to flicker and dim.

Another loud crash!

The Vajra Umbrella shook violently and suddenly stopped spinning.

Yun Yubai immediately understood that the formation behind the attacker was specifically designed to counter the Vajra Umbrella.

The only sect capable of such advanced formations was the Chi family—there was no one else in the Immortal World with such mastery.

Bai Hao also realized this, but the backlash from the Vajra Umbrella struck them both.

They were both blasted back.

Yun Yubai crashed into a pillar of the Spirit Boat and fell to his knees, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Bai Hao staggered a few steps backward, his face pale, his internal energy surging uncontrollably.

He cursed inwardly.

Although there had been many benefits to following Nanli, the frequency of injury was just too high!

The Vajra Umbrella fell to the ground in front of Yun Yubai.

The attacker was still advancing, sword raised, intent on striking.

Bai Hao, though grumbling, still rushed forward without hesitation.

"Old Bai, you’re getting old. You should be careful," the attacker said, slapping Bai Hao away with a single palm.

With that, his sword was aimed straight at Yun Yubai’s neck.

But—

Everyone expected Yun Yubai to reveal some hidden power in the face of imminent death. Instead, he stood motionless, his face displaying an unwavering, almost suicidal expression, completely fearless.

The attacker’s sword stopped in mid-air, leaving only a tiny red mark on Yun Yubai’s neck.

The independent cultivators and disciples from various sects immediately recognized the person: "This is... Lord Chi from Jiuzhou Town?!"

What stunned them even more was the immense strength Chi Yun had just displayed—it seemed to be at the peak of Deity Forming!

Bai Hao, clutching his chest, stood up, saying, "Chi Yun, what does your grudge with me and the Bai family have to do with Master Yun? If you want something, come at me!"

Only then did everyone realize that this old man was from the Bai family.

The four great families of Jiuzhou Town were embroiled in constant conflict, each with their own interests and entanglements with various sects.

Previously, the Bai family had been attacked by the Chi family and Qingwu, leading to a deep feud between the two families.

However, after Qingwu’s death and Jifeng Celestial Sovereign returning to Jialan Celestial Mountain to take charge, it was expected that the Chi family would be more cautious. To everyone’s surprise, Chi Yun had the audacity to come directly to Jialan Celestial Mountain and cause trouble.

How arrogant!

Even though Chi Yun’s cultivation had greatly improved, it was still insufficient to stand against Jifeng Celestial Sovereign.

Once Jifeng Celestial Sovereign returned, Chi Yun would likely be on his knees begging for forgiveness.

Chi Yun, seeing that Yun Yubai’s spiritual energy had been drained, kicked the Vajra Umbrella aside.

Without hurrying, he sheathed his sword and said, "Old Bai, don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t come here today for you or the Bai family. I’m here to seek justice for the Chi family and other cultivators who have tragically perished."

"I know that Jifeng Celestial Sovereign has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao and is now the number one person in the Immortal World. But there are rules in the heavens. Just because one is powerful doesn’t mean that Jifeng Celestial Sovereign can shelter criminals and protect members of the Demon Clan!"

Li Changyun and Bai Hao weren’t alarmed upon hearing this.

After all, this was a matter related to Shang Jue and Yan Hu. With disciples from Seven Peaks Sect as witnesses, Chi Yun couldn’t simply make false accusations.

Yun Yubai, however, grew paler.

Beneath his sleeves, his hands clenched tightly.

Only he knew that Chi Yun had just attempted to force him to reveal his Demon Core powers for self-preservation.

Moreover, with his rapid cultivation, it seemed like Chi Yun had sided with Shang Jue and learned the truth about Yun Yubai’s background.

This was troublesome!

Everyone gasped.

They had only heard of the term "Demon Clan" in books, but hearing it now, it was as though they had just learned something shocking.

What was even more alarming was that Chi Yun was now accusing Jifeng Celestial Sovereign of harboring members of the Demon Clan!

An angry young independent cultivator shouted, "Nonsense! Jifeng Celestial Sovereign was recognized by the Heavenly Dao! He is righteous and beyond reproach. How dare you slander him!"

Those who admired the powerful immediately voiced their support.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yun didn’t rush to respond.

He chuckled softly, turned to Yun Yubai, and slowly said:

"I may admire Jifeng Celestial Sovereign, but I don’t envy him. I worship him and wish to help him return to the right path, so he won’t be struck by heavenly punishment in the future!"

"Because Yun Yubai once helped Jifeng Celestial Sovereign’s wife, Jifeng Celestial Sovereign is now sheltering and protecting this Demon Clan member!"

Chi Yun’s voice grew sharper as he pointed directly at Yun Yubai, speaking with deep emotion.

As the crowd gasped, his voice became filled with rage, loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Even those at Jialan Celestial Mountain could hear him.

"No, Yun Yubai is not even a pure Demon Clan member. He’s a half-breed! A half-immortal, half-demon, a bloodthirsty killer!"
