At this moment, she looked extremely charming and showed all kinds of charm.

"That's not my concubine, it's just my clone."

Chen Yun touched his nose, gave an awkward smile, and tried to explain.

"Well, no need to explain further. I have no complaints about you taking in a concubine. After all, I myself will soon..."

Nangong Wan quickly interrupted Chen Yun's words, and her face turned gloomy, as if she became weak and powerless in an instant.

"What is going on? Have you really decided to marry that man?"

Chen Yun's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

"Before answering this question, Wan'er hopes to know more in detail first. Are you coming here to stop me from marrying that man, or do you just want to see me and leave in a hurry?" Nangong Wan bit her red lips slightly, her eyes flickering as she said.

"I will definitely take you with me. You must be my wife, Chen Yun. No matter who the invaders are, they must get my consent." Hearing this, Chen Yun replied firmly, his eyes determined.

"What a nice thought! When will I agree to become your wife?" Nangong Wan's face flushed, with a hint of anger in her shyness, and she was full of charm.

Chen Yun smiled slightly and said no more.

Although he was still a novice in relationships, he knew that it was not appropriate to argue too much at this moment.

After a while, Nangong Wan's shyness gradually subsided, and she said in a serious tone: "When I was trapped in the forbidden bloody trial, my first thought after losing my virginity was to cut you into pieces, and then burn you with the Vermillion Bird Ring to avenge the humiliation of losing your virginity. After all, my chastity that I have maintained for a hundred years was destroyed by you."

"Then did my life mean I was in danger back then?" Chen Yun rubbed his nose and smiled helplessly.

"Of course, if I hadn't been soft-hearted and let you go, how could you have succeeded?" Although there was still some anger in Nangong Wan's words, her expression was much calmer.

Chen Yun's lips curled up slightly, but he said no more.

After Nangong Wan calmed down a bit, she spoke again and said softly:
"Then I parted ways with you and returned to Dao Sect. During my training, your shadow followed me everywhere, becoming clearer and more frequent. Only by putting you out of my mind can I improve my training. There are only two solutions: either I marry you and live with you; or you disappear from the world and the demonic barrier will disappear."

Nangong Wan smiled but did not respond. She continued, "It's a pity that when the demons invaded next, you disappeared without a trace."

"The following story needs no elaboration. I returned to the Moon-Blanking Sect, and after the sect gained a foothold in Beiliang, I sneaked into Yue again to look for you. However, the news I received was that you seemed to be hunted down by the Ghost Spirit Sect again, but the details were unknown. Not long after, I was discovered by the Demonic Path and was forced to return to the Nine Nations Alliance. Since then, I have lost contact with you, and I thought you were probably dead. The demons in my heart also gradually dissipated. Later, I was lucky enough to condense my Nascent Soul and became an elder of the Moon-Blanking Sect until now."

Nangong Wan narrated calmly.

Chen Yun listened to Nangong Wan's narration, his expression changed several times. He never realized that Nangong Wan had given so much for him. Looking at Nangong Wan, his eyes were more gentle.

"So, who is Wei Lichen?"

After a moment's silence, Chen Yun pretended to be confused and couldn't help asking.

"Wei Lichen! He is the elder of Huayi Sect whom I met by chance when I was traveling a few years ago. This man is annoying. He appears to be elegant on the surface, but he is actually a filthy person on the inside. It is said that he already has seven or eight female disciples, and he may even be practicing the art of taking yin to replenish yang. When he proposed to me for the first time, I flatly refused."

Nangong Wan showed a sarcastic look on her face.

"Since you have rejected him, why has the situation turned out like this?"

When Chen Yun heard this, a puzzled look appeared on his face and he asked.

Nangong Wan did not respond to his question immediately, but suddenly raised a new question:

"Do you know the three great Nascent Soul monks in the Tiannan region?"

The so-called Nascent Soul cultivator is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Now the two sects and the Nine-Nation Alliance each have a high-level cultivator whose cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage and who only needs to take one more step to enter the God Transformation stage.

It is because of their existence that the major forces are able to maintain a delicate balance.

As for the Nine Nations Alliance, there is a couple in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who are good at joint magic. If they join forces, they may be able to barely resist a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"So, is Wei Lichen related to one of them?"

Chen Yun pretended to be confused and asked.

"Indeed, this Wei Lichen's great uncle is Wei Wuya, one of the three great cultivators. As the supreme elder of the Nine Nations Alliance, Wei Wuya practices the little-known poison technique. His magical powers are so vast that they are far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators."

Nangong Wan explained in a low voice, her ten jade-like fingers entwined with each other, a helpless smile on her face.

"Could it be that Wei Wuya personally put pressure on you?"

The corners of Chen Yun's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes flashed with anger, and he questioned coldly.

"That's not the case. However, Wei Wuya did intervene in this matter. Do you know that the grand elder of Yanyue Sect has been replaced by a former senior sister. Although this senior sister is quite powerful, she has a strong utilitarian heart and we often disagree with each other. Although other elders have mediated, the relationship between us is still tense!" Nangong Wan said with an angry face.

Chen Yun's expression suddenly changed. He realized that Nangong Wan had touched the core of the problem. As expected, Nangong Wan gritted her teeth and continued:
"Since I rejected Wei Lichen's proposal many times, for some reason, Wei Lichen actually asked Wei Wuya to come to my senior sister. Although I don't know what they talked about specifically. However, only half a year later, when I was in the reincarnation period of the Su Nu Reincarnation Technique, she suddenly subdued me and forced me to marry Wei Lichen."

"This senior sister, are you still sane? How dare you treat a fellow Nascent Soul cultivator in such a despicable way?"

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Since she dared to attack Nangong Wan, I will naturally not let her off easily.

"You're right! I was also extremely shocked. However, the conditions proposed by Wei Wuya were really irresistible. Later, we learned that as long as Yanyue Sect agreed to this marriage, not only would Yanyue Sect and the entire six sects be allowed to develop independently from Beiliang State, but Wei Lichen would also be promised that after marrying me, he would leave Huayi Sect and join Yanyue Sect."

"Faced with such temptation, it's no wonder she would resort to any means. She even spread rumors that I had agreed to practice dual cultivation with Wei Lichen, regardless of whether I agreed or not, and even planned to hold a grand celebration in an attempt to force the matter to a conclusion. By then, even if I wanted to regret it, I'm afraid I would be powerless."

Nangong Wan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic expression, and spoke slowly.

"So you've never agreed to get married. You even mentioned getting married before, which shocked me!"

After hearing this, Chen Yun said excitedly.

"I hope to get your answer to this question. Since you have successfully condensed your Nascent Soul several years ago, why didn't you find me in time? If you could have met me a year earlier, perhaps there wouldn't be so many disputes and twists and turns."

Nangong Wan glanced at Chen Yun with a slightly reproachful look and spoke in a rather dissatisfied tone.

"It's not that I intentionally delayed the time to find you, in fact..."

Chen Yun looked a little bewildered and opened his mouth to make some explanations, but upon closer thought it was indeed a little puzzling.

Although he had already vaguely realized in his heart that Nangong Wan was the woman he truly loved, for some reason he had never thought of facing this relationship directly and honestly.

If it weren't for the sudden news that Nangong was about to get married, he might still have some hesitation in his heart and dare not face this feeling head-on.

Just as Chen Yun was lost in thought, Nangong Wan stood up gracefully, walked slowly to Chen Yun, looked straight into his eyes, and said softly:
"In fact, my situation is quite similar to yours. Although our experience in cultivation and supernatural powers are far superior to ordinary people, we are both new to it in terms of emotions, and it is inevitable that we feel unfamiliar and afraid. Even though we have left a deep impression on each other."

"However, we are not ordinary men and women after all. It is difficult for us to quickly ignite all our passions and release them to our heart's content for a brief moment of glory like them. In order to pursue the best state of mind for cultivation, we cultivators must dilute most of our emotions and hide them deep in our hearts. After the passion fades, perhaps what remains is more of a plain and long-lasting relationship of respect. Therefore, when I learned that you were still in the world, in addition to being happy, I also thought deeply for two days and two nights before deciding to follow my heart and accept you."

After saying these affectionate words, Nangong Wan stretched out her slender jade fingers and gently held one of Chen Yun's hands.

Chen Yun was silent for a moment, then silently put his other hand over hers, feeling the softness and delicacy of the girl's palm, and a warm feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

Nangong Wan's cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly withdrew her hands and glared at Chen Yun with a reproachful look.

Chen Yun didn't care about it at all. Instead, he smiled slightly and suddenly said:

"Wan'er, even though you are imprisoned, you are so calm and composed. I believe you must have found a way to escape. Otherwise, how could you not show any worry on your face since we met?"

When Nangong Wan heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, she smiled and replied:
"You have a keen sense of observation! Indeed, although I was imprisoned in this cave, only a few high-ranking figures knew about this, and ordinary disciples knew nothing about it. Otherwise, I would not have received the sound transmission note directly from that nephew Tang."

"However, because they were worried that I might escape, they imposed many restrictions on me. Other restrictions do not pose a threat to me. They do not know that after entering the Nascent Soul stage, my Samsara Su Nu Gong has many magical powers, and these ordinary restrictions cannot restrain me at all. It only takes a short time for me to recover my original magic power."

"The only thing is the mind-binding spell that the senior sister used herself, which is quite difficult. This spell is what she plans to use at the ceremony. If I continue to refuse the marriage, she will use this spell to temporarily control me and plant this restriction with her own blood essence. The key to this restriction lies on a restriction token."

"Unless this magic weapon is destroyed, I will be controlled by it as long as I am within a hundred miles. Fortunately, the gap between her and my cultivation is not that big. This control can only affect some of my actions. She cannot mobilize the magic power in my body at will."

"How did you plan the steps you had planned before?" Chen Yun asked curiously.

"Haha! Initially, I had planned to find a few days before the ceremony when their defenses were the most lax, take the opportunity to quietly recover my magic power, and then immediately leave this place of trouble. As long as I am no longer within the control range of the forbidden token, I believe she will be unable to do anything to me."

Nangong Wan smiled softly and answered in a relaxed tone:
"But now that you are here, this problem will naturally be left to you to deal with. After all, you are the man who will soon be married to me. And from what I know, you can easily defeat a Yuanying stage mage of the same level of cultivation. You must have certain strength and means."

"Mind-trapping technique? This restriction is indeed quite tricky. Apart from destroying the token, there seems to be no other convenient solution." Chen Yun frowned and muttered to himself in deep thought.

"If we really can't find a solution to the problem, we can choose to flee far away and avoid the Yanyue Sect." Nangong Wan's bright eyes turned and she said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry! It's just a forbidden token. I think it should be in the hands of your senior sister. I will try to get it back and seek justice for you!"

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he spoke in a firm tone.

"I just mentioned it casually to test your determination! I don't really want you to steal the token. My sister has already cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and her skills and abilities are far beyond the reach of early stage practitioners like us. It is better for us to leave quietly. At most, I can spend another ten years to gradually refine this restriction."

Nangong Wan shook her head slightly and said with a smile on her face, a hint of mischief on her face.

After hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh, and the image of the lively and lovely girl he saw for the first time emerged in his mind!
"Nevertheless, you might as well give it a try. If you really can't succeed, you can leave. I'll be by your side to protect you. Even if you're trapped in a restriction, I have the ability to lead you out."

Chen Yun responded with a smile, his words full of confidence.

"Well... okay! Although I don't know how powerful your magical powers are, I believe you must have something to rely on based on your confident attitude. However, you don't have to take the initiative to look for her. The Sunset Palace where my senior sister lives is heavily guarded. Let me lure her here, and then we can use the power of the restrictions here to capture her by surprise."

Nangong Wan stared into Chen Yun's eyes for a moment, and seemed to understand that she could not stop Chen Yun's decision, and said while biting her red lips. (End of this chapter)
