Chapter 985: Chapter 985

Chu Yang suddenly realized, "Yeah, that’s right."

Nanli thought for a moment and said, "Why don’t we ask Crimson Nine Lands?"

"I doubt it will work," Siheng said, but he still made a seal to awaken the Ware Elf.

Crimson Nine Lands shivered and, after a while, transformed into a human form, still a bit unsteady on his feet. His voice was soft and weak: "Wha... what’s going on?"

Why did he feel so sleepy and unable to muster any energy? Finding himself in an unfamiliar room with so many people staring at him, he immediately felt scared and quickly hid behind Chu Yang.

"Master, why are their gazes so strange? It’s like they want to eat me," he said.

Siheng intimidated him, saying, "Indeed, they want to melt you down."

Crimson Nine Lands wouldn’t be afraid if someone else said that, but Siheng was capable of doing it, and with such a menacing look, he couldn’t help but be scared. His body trembled slightly as he said, "Jifeng Celestial Sovereign, I haven’t offended you, have I? Don’t pick a fight with me for no reason."

Yun Jianchu laughed heartily and said triumphantly, "Crimson Nine Lands, so you’re actually a coward. Little Heng, melt him down quickly! Let’s see how he’ll be so sharp-tongued in the future!"

Crimson Nine Lands glared at her and said, "I told you, you have a black heart! Who do you think you are, daring to command the Jifeng Celestial Sovereign!"

He didn’t know what had happened, but he figured flattering was always a good move.

Yun Jianchu propped her chin on her hands and smiled at Siheng, saying, "Little Heng, quickly let this kid know who I am."

Siheng ignored her and said to Crimson Nine Lands, "My aunt was just joking with you. You don’t need to take it seriously."

"Right, right..." Crimson Nine Lands let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then suddenly jumped back in shock.

He pointed and said, "Wha... what? Aunt? You’re her nephew? Are you his cousin or something? What is this? Is your whole family together ?!"

He couldn’t accept it for a moment, feeling like his brain was about to explode.

"Master, is it true?!" Crimson Nine Lands asked, "The Jifeng Celestial Sovereign has the divine mark! The Heavenly Dao wouldn’t have made a mistake, would it? Are you all playing a trick on me?"

Chu Yang said helplessly, "It’s true. The Celestial Sovereign is also a divine-demonic hybrid."

Crimson Nine Lands was petrified on the spot, muttering with his head down:

"I’ve really seen it all. The divine is divine, the demonic is demonic. Now they’re mixed into one, and they even got the divine mark. What is this world coming to..."

"Among the immortals of the past, there couldn’t have been any divine-demonic hybrids, right?"

"These heavenly rules are just too strange. What does it all mean..."

Nanli interrupted him, saying, "There’s nothing strange about it. It must be that the Heavenly Dao thinks Siheng is benevolent and capable of shouldering great responsibilities."

Praised by his wife, Siheng, who was sitting on a stool, immediately straightened his back a bit.

Cinian coughed and said, "That reason is a bit far-fetched."

Who wouldn’t feel a chill down their spine when they saw Siheng’s methods?

Perhaps the Heavenly Dao wanted Siheng not to bring disaster to the Immortal World, so it granted him the divine mark to make him more restrained?

Yes, that must be it.

Yun Yubai had always admired Siheng, and now that he knew they were relatives, he defended him even more firmly: "Zen Master Cinian, you’re mistaken. It’s exactly as Nanli said."

Cinian pursed his lips.

This kind of favoritism was unparalleled.

He didn’t bother to argue and just nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, Master Yun is right."

At this moment, Siheng asked, "Have you ever been subjected to a divine spell of execution? Do you have any memory of it?"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Crimson Nine Lands said, "No."

Siheng’s face darkened, and his voice turned cold: "Crimson Nine Lands, you had better think carefully before answering."

Crimson Nine Lands was startled.

As a Ware Elf, he also had a heart pulse, which was trembling uncontrollably at the moment.

He immediately meditated, reviewing all the events he had experienced over the years, weighing each one carefully.

Seeing him frowning deeply, Nanli knew it wasn’t going well.

She reminded him, "This divine spell was probably set during your ten-thousand-year slumber. You might not remember very clearly, but you should have some vague impression, right?"

Upon hearing this, Crimson Nine Lands suddenly remembered.

His eyes widened as he said, "There really was!"

The master had sacrificed his soul to seal the Demon Domain. He was heartbroken and fell onto the master’s immortal residence, which was Penglai Island.

There were no more immortals in the Immortal World.

After the master’s demise, Penglai Island was also destined to sink beneath the sea.

The Yan family, along with their small sect, took over Penglai Island and obtained numerous heavenly treasures, various scriptures, and magical and divine instruments.

Crimson Nine Lands was among them.

However, he remained loyal and refused to acknowledge anyone else as his master.

To the Yan family, he was just an idle divine instrument, not even as useful as an ordinary magical tool. They stored him in a hidden compartment and hadn’t used him for many years.

Seeing that the Yan family no longer disturbed him, Crimson Nine Lands fell into a deep slumber.

One day, however, he felt a warm sensation all over his body, as if he sensed the presence of immortal magic.

He was extremely excited, but because he had been asleep for too long, he couldn’t transform into a human form for a while. He just kept shouting, "Master! Is that you?!"

"I am not your master," the person said. "However, I have cast a divination and found that Huoyun’s soul has not been completely destroyed. His three souls and seven spirits will soon be restored, and before long, you will return to his side."

Crimson Nine Lands felt relieved but still had doubts: "Is what you say true?"

The person laughed again, "When have my divinations ever been wrong?"

With that, he touched Crimson Nine Lands once more, and Crimson Nine Lands fell back into slumber.

After recalling the memory, Crimson Nine Lands stroked his chin and said, "This person claimed that his divinations have never been wrong. So he must be... Keyang!"

"Keyang Celestial Emperor," Nanli and Crimson Nine Lands said in unison.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jianchu was slightly stunned and said, "Him? He doesn’t seem like that kind of person. He’s quite nice."

Nanli explained, "At that time, in the Immortal World, only Keyang Celestial Emperor could divine the past and the future without any damage to his soul. It was his unique immortal technique."

Crimson Nine Lands gave her a disdainful look and said:

"Yun Jianchu, you’re still too naive. Keyang Celestial Emperor may seem amiable, but in reality, he is petty, vengeful, and always uses people as pawns.

"He smiles at you, but after he visited Celestial Emperor Yining’s immortal residence a few times, he gathered us and claimed that Celestial Emperor Yining had been bewitched by the Asura Princess.

"On the surface, he said he wanted to discuss it with us, but in reality, he wanted us to take the lead in dealing with you. Hmph, he even put on a show of deliberation, and I knew then that he had a very black heart!"

Yun Jianchu was completely stunned.

She couldn’t believe that Keyang, who smiled at her and complimented her cooking, would stab her in the back!

That despicable Keyang didn’t just have a meal at her place!

She was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "When the immortals sacrificed themselves to seal the Demon Domain, wasn’t he there?!"
