Chen Yun and Elder Lu came from Xiguo, a country thousands of miles away.

As for the extremely beautiful female cultivator, she was actually Chen Yun’s Nascent Soul stage clone - Yaksha.

She transformed into a beautiful woman in gorgeous palace dress.

As Chen Yun's only clone who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, she certainly has the right to follow her master.

However, when Lu Tongzi first saw Chen Yun, a master of the Nascent Soul stage, now a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but widen his eyes with disbelief.

Although he wanted to ask questions urgently, due to Chen Yun's status as a concubine, he could only choose to remain silent.

Naturally, Lu Tongzi did not want to ask any more questions, but Chen Yun could clearly feel that his eyes were filled with deep awe when he looked at him.

As for the silver-haired Elder Cheng, he was unable to come and participate in this event because he had to stay in the Luoyun Sect to prevent any villains from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

According to the old man, he had participated in similar events seven or eight times and was not very interested in the treasures there, so he gave this rare opportunity to two younger fellow disciples.

Therefore, Chen Yun and Elder Lu were able to appear here.

On the journey to the trade fair, many cultivators from the three sects of Yunmeng Mountain traveled together, while others set out alone.

Chen Yun and others naturally did not want to go on the journey with these younger generations, so they set off early and went to the State of Yu first.

The route they chose avoided the spheres of influence of both good and evil as much as possible, and they entered the territory of the Nine-Nation Alliance safely along the way, and finally arrived near the city of Tiantian.

At this time, Chen Yun was leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery around him, and occasionally other monks would pass by in the distance.

However, when their spiritual consciousness accidentally swept over the middle-aged man surnamed Lu and Chen Yun, everyone's face turned pale instantly. They did not dare to stay for a moment and immediately fled as quickly as flying birds, as if they were afraid of causing trouble!
Chen Yun and the middle-aged man who was traveling did not deliberately hide their own cultivation levels. Once ordinary cultivators saw two Nascent Soul cultivators traveling together, they would inevitably feel panic and avoid them.

At this moment, Elder Lu walked in quickly, talking to Chen Yun beside him with a smile on his face.

"During this period, Tiantian City replaced Tianluo Kingdom and Fengdu Kingdom as the venue for the trade fair. Previously, the trade fair was controlled by the righteous and evil sects for a long time, and was held in the two countries in turn. However, since the establishment of the Tiandao League, the Nine Nations League has gradually risen and controlled the trade fair."

"This is mainly because the expansion of the forces of good and evil has made it impossible for other forces to continue to control the trade fair. Therefore, after the last trade fair, the hosting rights were naturally handed over to the Nine Nations Alliance. This can be regarded as a helpless move after the rise of the forces of both good and evil."

"This change has indeed benefited the Nine Nations Alliance a lot. However, I am quite curious about the history of Tiantian City. It is known as the city of cultivators in the south of the sky. A coalition of magicians once invaded the territory of Yu State, but was eventually defeated by the newly-formed Nine Nations cultivators under Tiantian City with the 'Shangyuan Extinguishing Light Formation'. It is said that in that battle, the Nascent Soul cultivators suffered heavy casualties."

Chen Yun spoke with great interest.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, Tiantian City will never let you down. Regarding your changes, I always feel that you are different after your retreat, but it doesn't seem to be due to your improved cultivation. Perhaps you have practiced some secret technique?"

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu asked with a smile.

"Yes, I have recently practiced a new technique, but it is still a long way from being perfected. I have heard other disciples mention Senior Brother Lu's 'Thousand Waves Technique', and I am very eager for it."

Chen Yun responded with a smile and cleverly turned the topic to the other party.

"Junior brother, don't listen to their nonsense. Although my 'Thousand Waves Art' is a top-level water-attributed technique that can easily deal with Jindan cultivators, my winning rate is not high when facing opponents of the same level. Fortunately, this technique contains two life-saving magical powers that allowed me to save my life after failure."

Elder Lu shook his head and said with a wry smile.

After hearing what the other party said, Chen Yun believed it to some extent.

He vaguely remembered that the last time he teamed up with Elder Lu and another silver-haired Elder Cheng, they were chased and intercepted by the forces of both good and evil.

Finally, the silver-haired elder among them was seriously injured and successfully broke free from the enemy.

Elder Lu escaped unharmed and returned safely to Yunmeng Mountain.

This shows that Elder Lu indeed possesses extraordinary life-saving skills.

Chen Yun's heart moved, and he was about to ask for more details, when suddenly a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly turned to the side.

"There is a group of practitioners flying towards us. Among them is a Yuanying-stage master who seems to have noticed our presence."

Chen Yun frowned slightly, but immediately responded calmly.

"Huh? I didn't expect that your spiritual sense is so sharp that you can sense danger earlier than I do! But you are really cautious and thoughtful. Even near Tiantian City, you always keep your spiritual sense highly alert!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu followed Chen Yun's gaze and showed a similar expression of surprise on his face, and his evaluation of Chen Yun was further improved.

Chen Yun smiled without saying anything. In fact, with his powerful spiritual sense, he didn't need to open it specially. He just naturally sensed the changes in the surrounding environment.

The Nascent Soul cultivator in the distance was able to track us from a distance, and it was obvious that his spiritual awareness was also extraordinary.

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu was full of curiosity about the visitor, while Chen Yun, who had already seen through everything, had a smile on his face and his hands behind his back.

Soon after, a melodious drum sound came from afar, and golden light flashed in the sky.

A team of warriors wearing golden helmets and armor, holding spears and looking like heavenly soldiers and generals, were guarding a magnificent beast chariot, slowly driving towards this place.

In the distance, white cranes can be seen dancing, followed closely by palace maids carrying tripods. The whole scene is as spectacular as an emperor's parade.

When the middle-aged man surnamed Lu saw this scene, he couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Nanlong Hou! This old freak actually came to the trade fair."

"Junior Brother Chen, you must be careful with your words and actions. This person has great magical powers and a strange personality. But I was fortunate enough to meet him once in the past, and I will do my best to deal with him."

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu gave a few urgent instructions, then signaled Chen Yun and the other two to stop flying, and stood there with a serious expression waiting for the arrival of the team.

A moment later, the golden-armored warriors and the beast carts in the distance gradually approached. After Chen Yun saw the opponent's lineup clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Although those warriors holding long spears look tall and mighty, their strength is limited to the foundation-building stage.

What really shocked Chen Yun were the two spirit beasts pulling the golden beast cart.

One has green scales covering its body and a single horn on its head, like a Qilin mythical beast; the other has fluttering flaming feathers, golden eyes and long feathers, like a flaming phoenix.

Before the animal cart approached, the middle-aged man named Lu was the first to salute with his fists clasped.

"Excuse me, is it Lord Nanlong Junhou in the car? I am Lu Luo from Luoyun Sect, and I am honored to meet you. The last time I met the Lord was three hundred years ago when I followed my master, Master Muli. It is my great honor to meet you again now!" Although the middle-aged man surnamed Lu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, Chen Yun could clearly feel his awe of the Lord Nanlong, and he even felt that he regarded him as a junior.

The situation inside the beast cart shrouded in golden light was unclear. The sound of drums and music originally coming from the beast cart suddenly stopped after the greeting of the middle-aged man named Lu.

The team stopped several dozen feet away from Chen Yun and others, and the scene fell into silence.

When Chen Yun saw this situation, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.

However, after just a moment, it returned to its normal state.

"Oh! So you are a disciple of that Mu Lisuan scholar! I remember that you were only a practitioner at the Jindan stage back then, but I never expected that in just three hundred years, you have successfully broken through to the Yuanying stage."

"I heard that your master passed away three hundred years ago after we parted ways. It's really a pity. But I don't know who the two Taoist friends beside you are. It seems that I have never met them!"

A lazy voice came from the golden light, and the last sentence directly mentioned Chen Yun and Yaksha.

Hearing this, Chen Yun just smiled faintly and did not explain much.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man surnamed Lu hurriedly began to introduce Chen Yun in detail before Nanlong Hou in the golden light asked again.

"Respected Lord Junhou, this is Junior Brother Chen Yun who has just joined our Luoyun Sect. He has just entered the Nascent Soul stage. As for that girl, she is Junior Brother Chen's concubine. Junior Brother Chen, the Lord Junhou in front of you is an old friend of our master. You may as well go up and say hello."

"Greetings, Lord Nanlonghou!"

Chen Yun's sleeves fluttered and his hands clasped together, looking extraordinary in his bearing.

"Chen Yun? This name is quite unfamiliar to me. It seems that Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed a cultivator who has recently been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. I just don't know what your magical powers are. Can I learn from them?"

Nanlong Hou actually made such a casual request in the beast cart.

"Ah? Junior Brother Chen has only been condensing his Nascent Soul for a few years. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to compete with Fellow Daoist Nanlong. After all, Fellow Daoist has already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

Lu Luo's originally smiling face suddenly became serious, and deep down he was secretly groaning.

Although this old man has a strange personality, why did he suddenly want to test Junior Brother Chen's magical powers, and he doesn't look like someone he has known before!

"Don't worry, I will never use my own cultivation advantage to bully the younger generation. I just want to have a spiritual consciousness competition with you."

“The spiritual awareness that Fellow Daoist Chen displayed just now is not weak. It is far beyond what a cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage can possess. Therefore, it aroused my interest in watching it.”

As Nanlong Hou finished his words, the golden light on the beast cart suddenly flashed, then quickly dissipated, revealing three figures sitting together.

One of the men was wearing a purple brocade robe with python patterns, a jade crown on his head, and a beard hanging down to his chest. He was standing between the two women.

The two women were wearing clean white dresses and were beautiful. One of them was half leaning in the man's arms.

The man with the long beard was naturally the Marquis of Nanlong himself, and the two women beside him were most likely his concubines.

Although their cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage, they were all beauties with slender figures and graceful postures.

"You are joking, my Lord. Although Junior Brother Chen's spiritual sense is relatively powerful, the risks of spiritual sense battles are extremely high. How can you try it casually?"

Lu Luo was really anxious at this moment. He could no longer suppress his inner worries and directly rejected the other party's proposal.

Chen Yun naturally understood that this was Nanlong Hou's intention to find someone with strong spiritual awareness to go together to crack the Cangkun Cave.

Chen Yun, who had already had this idea, naturally accepted it with pleasure. He gently stroked his chin and suddenly laughed.

"There's nothing wrong with the spiritual consciousness contest. Although Chen has just condensed his Nascent Soul not long ago, he would like to take this opportunity to understand how big the gap is between his spiritual consciousness and that of other Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Chen Yun said this in a firm tone, as if he had no worries at all.

Hearing this, a complicated look flashed across Nanlonghou's eyes, while the others were all puzzled.

"Okay. I agree."

Nanlong Hou was silent for a moment, then slowly responded. His majestic face was filled with solemnity.

"Don't take it too seriously, we're just exchanging skills."

Chen Yun waved his hand and said calmly:
"Junior brother, you need to act with caution. If the situation is unfavorable, admit defeat immediately. Then I will definitely take action to stop it." Lu Luo sighed helplessly and warned.

Chen Yun nodded slightly and said no more.

At this time, the Marquis of Nanlong in the beast cart opposite had pushed away the concubine in his arms, and then with a wave of his sleeves, he flew into the sky.

When Chen Yun's body emanated golden light and began to slowly rise, his figure gradually turned into a swift and dazzling golden rainbow, continuously climbing towards the sky.

"Although I don't know why you are so persistent in testing the strength of my spiritual sense, this move must have far-reaching meanings. Under this circumstance, I am indeed quite curious."

After the two flew to several dozen feet away and stopped for a moment, Chen Yun stood in the air, looked at Nanlong Hou, and asked calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen is truly a man of extraordinary wit. However, if you want to understand the reason behind this, you must have a spiritual awareness that is superior to mine or equal to mine."

"If I hadn't felt the power of your divine sense when you scanned me with it earlier, I probably wouldn't have lowered my status and challenged you."

"However, in my opinion, the possibility of Fellow Daoist Chen's success is very slim. The difference in spiritual awareness between the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul is by no means something that can be described in the slightest."

The corners of Nanlonghou's mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile, and he sneered.

Chen Yun suddenly released his spiritual sense, and a powerful aura spread out instantly, followed by some mysterious object flying towards the opponent at a rapid speed.

“Just in time!”

Not only was the Marquis of Nanlong not afraid at all, but he shouted loudly.

He also resisted with his spiritual consciousness, and two invisible forces that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye collided violently in the void between the two people, causing a powerful explosion.

Then, a strong gale quickly spread out. (End of this chapter)
