Chapter 97 - 96: Master’s Wife!

Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Master’s Wife!

As her words fell, Chen Sha’s eyes flashed. The Immortal Sword, suspended thirty feet between them, seemed to sense danger. It immediately tried to turn and fly upward, eager to escape these two terrifying figures.

"So this sword isn’t yours, Sha’Er?" Yun Shouxuan watched the Lingxiao Immortal Sword’s movements.

She had assumed the sword had acknowledged Chen Sha as its master and was pointing its tip at her because it sensed her arrival. Now, seeing the Immortal Sword attempting to flee when Chen Sha reached out for it, she frowned and placed her hands behind her back. "What an ignorant sword. Sha’Er wants you to stay, yet you dare try to fly away?"

Instantly, she unleashed her terrifying Celestial Demon Power, forming a unique energy field within a radius of over a hundred feet. Even the wind and air currents became unusually viscous and slow.

WHIRR!

The Flying Sword was immediately bogged down in midair as if trapped in a quagmire.

CLANG!

Chen Sha grabbed its hilt. Held firmly by his Great Strength, no matter how sentient the sword was, it could not overcome the suppression of his terrifying Great Innate Cultivation.

SWISH!

Chen Sha flicked the sword in the air, creating a sword flourish, before resting it behind his back. He turned to Yun Shouxuan, who had just lent him a hand, and said, "Thank you for your help. Please come inside the hall."

Several elders’ expressions changed when they saw their Sect Leader inviting this Demon Sect Palace Master into the hall. They couldn’t help but want to speak up. However, Chen Sha discreetly waved his hand, signaling them not to worry. Even if this Demon Sect mother of his had ulterior motives, with him present, there was nothing to fear.

Song Yu also sensed Chen Sha’s thoughts. Having just experienced the oppressive might of Yun Shouxuan’s gaze, he knew they could not afford to lightly offend this Demon Sect Master. If she was simply here to see her son, they shouldn’t overreact and create unnecessary trouble.

Thus, suppressing his previous emotions, he followed up after Chen Sha. "Sect Leader Yun, this junior was highly offensive just now. Since my junior martial brother, the Sect Leader, has invited you, please step inside so we can discuss the details."

Unexpectedly, Yun Shouxuan displayed a completely different personality toward anyone other than Chen Sha. She shot another sideways glare at Song Yu and said coldly, "You’ve used the wrong title for the second time. Are all of Canxuan’s disciples this devoid of manners?"

Song Yu’s expression changed. His mind raced as he recalled the meaning behind Yun Shouxuan’s earlier words. He already understood her intent—she just wanted him to call her by a specific title. After a moment of thought, he ultimately lowered his head with a bitter smile. "Yes, Martial Mother. I, Song Yu, have been impolite."

The reason he finally said this title out loud was that he had been faintly convinced by Yun Shouxuan’s logic. Her husband was his master, and her son was his junior martial brother and Sect Leader. Although his master had never officially married this Demon Sect Master, strictly based on their relationships, she was indeed his Martial Mother.

Hearing Song Yu finally use the correct title, the corners of Yun Shouxuan’s lips curled up slightly, seemingly very satisfied with his willingness to correct his mistakes.

After that, the group walked toward the Sect Leader’s Hall.

Chen Sha left the others outside. "You all can just wait here." With that, he invited Yun Shouxuan inside to take a seat.

After all, the woman before him was his biological mother, so Chen Sha didn’t sit down. After serving her tea, he remained standing in the hall. However, he still needed to clarify some matters. "Over a year ago, the Celestial Demon Sect’s Saintess, Yun Feifei, brought two Grandmaster Elders up the mountain and attacked the Dao Yi Mountain Gate alongside the First-Grade Hall’s Extraordinary Nine Monsters. Were you aware of this?"

Chen Sha’s tone was calm, but how could Yun Shouxuan fail to hear the questioning undertone of this familiar yet strange "son"?

She simply smiled. "I was aware. Furthermore, I was the one who told her to come to Dao Yi Mountain."

Mo Ziming, who had followed them inside, sensed the delicate atmosphere in the air. He couldn’t help but look at Chen Sha and thought, "Although this Sect Leader is young, his Heart Nature and wisdom far exceed what someone of his age should possess. Coupled with the fact that he single-handedly annihilated all the experts of the First-Grade Hall, if this mother and son have a falling out and come to blows..."

Chen Sha frowned. "So, you were the one who instructed Yun Feifei to cause chaos on Dao Yi Mountain?"

Yun Shouxuan just looked at Chen Sha, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere. With only the tolerant smile of a mother looking at her son, she said, "The word ’chaos’ depends on how you interpret it. If you mean bringing you back to the Demon Sect to be by my side, then yes, I did instruct her to do that. But if you mean..."

Her tone turned mocking and indifferent. "That because of her stupidity, she not only nearly died by your hands but also got two of our sect’s elders killed by you, Sha’Er... If such foolish actions were also instructed by me, then I wouldn’t be fit to be the Sect Leader of the Celestial Demon Sect and rule over a domain."

Chen Sha’s eyes flashed at the unexpected answer, and his expression relaxed slightly. Since that wasn’t the case, they could still talk.

Mo Ziming also felt the atmosphere in the air become less severe. He then heard Chen Sha say, "In other words, you actually just wanted me to return to the Demon Sect, and allying with the First-Grade Hall was entirely Yun Feifei’s own doing."

"You are my son," Yun Shouxuan replied. "If I wanted to deceive you, I could lie with every sentence. It all depends on whether you believe my words, Sha’Er. If you don’t believe me, then just assume I instructed her."

"Then I have no further questions," Chen Sha said slowly. "I just want to know your true purpose for coming up the mountain this time. If you simply wanted to see me, then as your son, I will fulfill all the filial piety I ought to. But if it’s something else..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

He stopped speaking and simply looked at his mother. The underlying meaning in his words was already crystal clear.

Yun Shouxuan looked at Chen Sha, a trace of nostalgia gradually appearing on her face. "Do you know that your current expression looks exactly like your father’s when he was about to fight someone?"

Chen Sha remained silent.

Yun Shouxuan reined in her emotions and continued, "There are several reasons why it took me twenty years to come to Dao Yi Mountain to see you. You can listen to them one by one. First..." She paused after saying just the first point, letting out a faint sigh. "After certain events twenty years ago, your father refused to see me and forbade me from coming anywhere near Dao Yi Mountain. Because of that, I could only come... after he... you know."

She refused to say the word ’died’.

"The second reason is that I don’t believe your father is dead," she continued, her pale fingers gently lifting the teacup, making her red sleeves sway slightly. "I want to see his grave with my own eyes.

"Third, I came to see you because, as I mentioned earlier, I hope you will come down the mountain with me, inherit the Celestial Demon Sect, and become the next generation’s sacred hero to unify the Six Demonic Paths.

"Don’t be in a hurry to refuse," she added, seeing Chen Sha preparing to speak. "Let me finish. When I gave birth to you, I planted the Demon Sect’s most precious Holy Blood in your body. It is a bloodline that has been passed down in the Demon Sect for thousands of years. Once you return with me, you only need to awaken this bloodline, and your Cultivation will take a massive leap forward from your current Realm. By then... the only person in the world capable of being your opponent will be your father, whose life or death remains a mystery."

"A bloodline?" Chen Sha frowned. "I have the Demon Sect’s Holy Blood in me? Why have I never felt anything?"

"Your father always thought the Demon Sect was inferior to the Daoist Sect," Yun Shouxuan said quietly. "He thought very highly of himself, so he only cultivated you along the path he walked. How could he possibly let you awaken my Demon Sect’s Holy Blood? Besides, awakening the Holy Blood requires a special ritual..."
