The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 937: You Are the One Who’s Truly with Us

Yun Jianchu’s expression was filled with caution.

She stared intently at Shanxun, showing not the slightest hint of trust.

"You risked death to remove your Demon Bone and join the Divine Buddha Sect. What exactly is your intention?"

"Or is there something here that you desire?"

Yun Yubai also waited for Shanxun’s answer.

However, Shanxun didn’t say much and simply replied,

"Princess Chuyun, I revealed my identity because I didn’t want the young master to die in vain. After all, he carries the bloodline of the Asura Royal Clan. I couldn’t just stand by and watch him die."

Yun Yubai firmly said, "My decision is made!"

But Shanxun ignored him.

After all, Yun Yubai was shackled and completely deprived of his spiritual power.

Shanxun bowed again and addressed Yun Jianchu,

"Princess Chuyun, I trust you wouldn’t want to see the young master die here by removing his Demon Bone, would you?"

Yun Jianchu clenched her fists, her gaze evasive.

Shanxun pressed further,

"The young master shares no blood ties with them. Naturally, they won’t care about his life or death. But you know well that removing the Demon Bone is a near-death ordeal! You’ve only just reunited with the young master—do you really want to watch him die again with your own eyes?"

He kept emphasizing this point to make Yun Jianchu face reality.

Because only she could persuade Yun Yubai.

Fearing that Yun Jianchu would waver, Yun Yubai quickly said,

"Mother, trust me!"

If he truly couldn’t survive the ordeal, it would be fate rejecting him, and he would accept it without regret.

Yun Jianchu’s eyes reddened, tears falling again as she glanced at Yun Yubai.

He shook his head at her, silently urging her not to falter.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Jianchu turned to Shanxun and said resolutely,

"My son is grown. He can choose his own path, and I won’t stop him."

Shanxun’s expression darkened immediately.

He said coldly,

"Princess Chuyun, from where I stand, it seems you don’t truly love your child."

"And you don’t truly serve me!" Yun Jianchu retorted sharply, refusing to be swayed. "Ni Zhan, I don’t care what schemes you’re plotting! But for the sake of our shared Asura Clan heritage, just leave now. We won’t expose your secret to anyone."

In truth, Yun Jianchu wasn’t trying to spare Shanxun.

But with the Buddhist seals trapping her and Yun Yubai’s spiritual power sealed, they had no way to fight back.

All she could do was stall for time.

But Shanxun remained unmoved, standing firmly where he was.

He let out a chilling laugh, and the candlelight in the room flickered violently.

"You say I don’t serve you, so why would I listen to you?"

Suddenly, Shanxun launched his attack, pulling out a golden bowl artifact.

A fierce wind swept through the room, overturning furniture and scattering objects.

Yun Yubai was alarmed and tried to strike back.

But his spiritual power was sealed, and Shanxun easily knocked him back onto the bed with a flick of his sleeve.

The golden bowl aimed straight for Yun Jianchu’s head!

"Little Bai!" she cried out in shock, her Demon Soul fleeing her scarecrow body in an attempt to resist.

But the Buddhist seals quickly enveloped her, suppressing the Demon Soul.

With a simple shake of the golden bowl, Shanxun absorbed the Demon Soul inside.

Yun Yubai’s eyes widened in horror.

He struggled to resist, but the handcuffs’ suppression grew stronger, rendering him powerless.

He collapsed onto the bed again but still shouted forcefully,

"Let her go!"

Shanxun calmly replied,

"Young master, I had no choice but to use this method."

He put away the golden bowl.

"Come with me. I’m truly doing this for your own good."

Yun Yubai gritted his teeth.

"If you truly cared for me, you wouldn’t be so ruthless! Leaving with you will only make them believe I’m on your side!"

Shanxun’s face was emotionless.

"If you’re not with us, there’s only one path left—death. You carry the Demon Bone. They will never trust or accept you." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Yun Yubai retorted,

"Once I remove the Demon Bone, they will accept me!"

"They won’t," Shanxun said mockingly.

"Even if you remove it and change your bloodline, in their eyes, you’ll always be a hybrid of celestial and demon blood."

Yun Yubai’s voice was firm,

"Even if I end up with a tragic fate, I am willing."

Shanxun thought he was being foolish.

Clearly, Yun Yubai had been corrupted by this Immortal World.

Did he not understand that it was better to betray the world than let the world betray him?

Why care about insignificant others?

Shouldn’t he prioritize himself?

Shanxun grew impatient, his smile turning cold.

"You can accept a tragic end, but what about your mother?"

Yun Yubai’s resolve wavered at those words.

He said, "Come at me, but let my mother go!"

"You are truly a filial son. It seems you still care about Princess Chuyun," Shanxun sneered slightly.

"Understandable. After all, she suffered greatly when carrying you."

"Let her go!"

"I will, but not now," Shanxun said.

"Once we’ve left Jialan Celestial Mountain and reached safety, I’ll release her."

He approached Yun Yubai and unlocked one of his handcuffs.

This allowed Yun Yubai to recover a small portion of his spiritual power—enough to fight his way out.

Yun Yubai sat up, gasping heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"I... I can’t..."

Seeing his hesitation, Shanxun lost all patience.

"Young master, Princess Chuyun’s Demon Soul is fragile. If she doesn’t leave the golden bowl by dawn, she will be completely annihilated."

Yun Yubai’s head snapped up in shock.

"You’re an Asura protector! How can you treat the Asura Princess like this?"

But Shanxun showed no remorse.

"To us protectors, she was never a true princess. Her birth mother was a lowly palace maid—not a legitimate royal."

Yun Yubai was even more confused.

"If you look down on her, why force me? Why try to win me over?"

Shanxun’s lips curved into a mysterious smile.

"You’ll understand one day. Stop wasting time and come with me."

Yun Yubai had no choice but to stand.

As a son, he had no other option.

Shanxun smiled, knowing his plan had worked.

He gave some final instructions,

"I’ve placed incense in Cinian and the others’ rooms. They’re sound asleep. Bai Hao and Ximen Chuan haven’t recovered their spiritual power—they won’t stop us. The only obstacle is Chu Yang."

Yun Yubai asked, "Is he on night watch?"

Shanxun nodded,

"Yes, but he’s guarding the main gate. We’ll leave through the rear gate."

"But the barrier around Jialan was reset. You don’t have the token to open it, do you?" Yun Yubai questioned.

Siheng hadn’t crafted new tokens before leaving.

Shanxun sneered,

"The barrier was already damaged by the Heaven-Slaying Axe. Siheng didn’t thoroughly inspect it. He doesn’t know that Shang Jue left a gap at the rear gate for my escape."

Shanxun had already checked—the gap was still there.

Everything was ready.
