"Okay. If you need anything, just let me know at any time. All the disciples in the sect are at your disposal." Seeing this, the silver-haired old man could only nod his head helplessly to show his agreement.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. According to Wan'er's jade slip, the magical power she used can theoretically delay the onset of the Soul Sealing Curse by nearly a hundred years. However, no one has ever tried to determine its actual effect. I am really worried."

Chen Yun stared at the lifelike little girl in the ice wall and whispered to himself, with a look of deep concern on his face.

"Junior brother, don't worry too much. Judging from Sister Nangong's appearance, she doesn't seem to be a person with a short life. I believe she will be able to get through this difficult time. Let's do this, from now on, I will search various ancient books to see if I can find a solution."

"Indeed, Junior Brother Chen's arrangement is completely correct. Then, Senior Brother, I will go to the library to handle the affairs first. Junior Brother, please try to spare some time to accompany my sister-in-law for a few more days."

The silver-haired old man was a little surprised at first, but then kindly expressed his understanding.

After receiving a deep salute from Chen Yun, he left the mysterious secret room and closed the sturdy stone door tightly.

Immediately, only Chen Yun and the girl sealed in the ice wall were left in the room.

Chen Yun then turned his head and stared at the ice wall. A lonely look appeared on his face and he let out a long sigh.

For the next entire day and night, Chen Yun stayed in this secret room without taking a single step out.

When the silver-haired old man returned from the library, he saw Chen Yun was still there, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

However, after waiting for half a month, he couldn't let his guard down, so he decided to force his way into the secret room to check the situation. At this moment, Chen Yun finally walked out of the secret room with a normal expression.

"Brother Chen, are you safe and sound?"

The old man couldn't help asking, his face full of confusion and concern. Seeing the old man waiting at the door, Chen Yun felt a warm feeling in his heart, and replied with an apologetic tone:
"I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how to deal with the upcoming challenges. Thank you for your concern. There is still a month and a half left before the deadline that person mentioned. I plan to go into seclusion to make some adjustments. If there is no emergency, you don't need to be distracted by me."

"Starting retreat now? Can such a short period of time really be helpful?"

The silver-haired old man was very confused after hearing this. Chen Yun responded vaguely:

"It shouldn't take too long."

"I see. Junior brother, please rest assured and continue your retreat. I will instruct the disciples in the sect not to disturb you."

It was not until this time that the old man understood and agreed without hesitation.

The old man also gave a clear answer to Chen Yun's question about the ice wall:

"You can rest assured about this, Junior Brother. As the Great Elder, I can't escape responsibility for what happened to Fellow Daoist Nangong in our Luoyun Sect."

"Therefore, I have designated this place as a restricted area, and any ordinary disciples are strictly prohibited from trespassing without permission. There will be absolutely no problem in ensuring the safety of my brothers and sisters."

After hearing this, Chen Yun could finally leave with peace of mind.

he said,
"If that's the case, then I can go into seclusion with peace of mind. Without further ado, I will immediately start setting up the magic circle and then go into seclusion."

……

Half a day later, after Chen Yun completed the arrangement of the magic circle, he left the silver-haired old man and the secret room he was in and returned to his own cave.

To his surprise, Mu Peiling had already known about his return and was waiting for him outside the cave.

Seeing Chen Yun appear, Mu Peiling was obviously relieved and hurriedly walked into the cave.

"How is Sister Nangong now? I heard that she was seriously injured. But I haven't received any definite news, and I have been worried about it." Mu Peiling couldn't wait to ask as soon as she entered the door.

Chen Yun sat on the main seat and asked calmly, "You and Wan'er seem to have a very good relationship?"

Mu Peiling answered without hesitation:

"Yes, Sister Nangong has a gentle personality. During the time you were away, she gave me guidance on cultivation many times, which benefited me a lot."

Chen Yun was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:
"Hearing what you said, I should feel relieved. However, Wan'er is now poisoned by the soul-sealing curse and is trapped in the seal, so I cannot feel the slightest happiness."

"However, after only a few months of not seeing each other, your cultivation has improved again. It is obvious that you have never slacked off on the path of cultivation. I am deeply relieved by this. Next, I need to retreat for more than a month to find a way to break Wan'er's soul-sealing curse."

"Soul-Sealing Curse? It's such an evil and cruel magic curse. This is really a tricky matter. Sir, do you have any plan to deal with it?" Mu Peiling was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help asking.

"What other good plan can we have? Only by finding the person who cast the curse can we find a way to break it. As long as this person falls into my hands, I can naturally make him tell me the method to break the curse." Chen Yun's face suddenly became cold and stern, and he said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Mu Peiling could only frown, at a loss as to what to do.

At this time, Chen Yun's disciple Liu Yu came to visit. In addition to greeting Master Chen Yun, he also cared about Nangong Wan's condition.

With her intelligence and talent, she had long intended to establish a good relationship with Nangong Wan, her future master's wife.

Seeing Liu Yu coming, Chen Yun did not intend to hide the matter, so he roughly described the situation of the soul-sealing curse. After listening to it, Liu Yu was also moved.

However, with her skills and knowledge, she was unable to provide an effective solution.

Chen Yun had no time to pay attention to the two women. After a brief conversation, he began to see them off.

The two women naturally understood that it was not appropriate to cause trouble to Chen Yun at this moment, so they left the cave respectfully.

However, when they just stepped out of the cave, Liu Yu's eyes turned and she suddenly said to Mu Peiling with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Mu, although you are Master's concubine, you still seem to be innocent. No wonder Master treats you like a guest. Based on your appearance, could it be that Master has not yet fallen in love with you? Or is there something else going on? The new Master Nangong is much more beautiful than you. Fellow Daoist, you must think carefully about this."

"What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist Liu..."

Mu Peiling was stunned for a moment, her face slightly flushed, and she wanted to explain, but the other party just smiled lightly, then turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky.

Mu Peiling stood there for a long time, and finally stomped her feet in anger, then drove away quickly while driving the magic weapon.

Chen Yun watched the two women leave before he had time to check the conditions in the medicine garden and the insect room.

Everything was normal. Chen Yun immediately brought a batch of refining materials into the secret room.

Suddenly, a jaw-dropping scene appeared before my eyes - the originally transparent liquid gradually decomposed and deformed itself, and turned into six silver gems with a diameter only as big as a thumb. They were spinning and playing in the air like naughty children.

Chen Yun took a deep breath, then bit his tongue without hesitation, and a mouthful of pure blood spurted out.

However, the moment this blood essence touched the surface of the beads, it was completely absorbed by them. Then, the color of the beads changed dramatically, from the original silver-white to golden yellow, as if they were carefully cast with red gold.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yun's spirits lifted. He opened his mouth again, and a beam of green light shot out, then circled in the air and landed steadily in front of Chen Yun.

This is a green mini sword, only an inch long, but it flashes with a mysterious light.

In an instant, the small sword became full of golden light, dazzling and brilliant.

Chen Yun frowned slightly, then pointed lightly at the ground. Several auxiliary materials flew towards the flying sword one after another and merged together strangely.

Then, Chen Yun waved his arm again, and the flying sword immediately flew back to his hand. With a "puff", a ball of green infant fire appeared out of thin air and tightly surrounded the flying sword.

Chen Yun slowly closed his eyes, used his spiritual sense to control the infant fire, and began the refining process.

As time passed, Chen Yun was always concentrating on refining the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword in the secret room, with almost no rest time.

If Chen Yun did not possess the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid that could restore his consumed mana at any time, he would probably have found it difficult to hold on in such a short period of time.

Outside the cave, as the date agreed with the man in black was getting closer, Chen Yun still did not come out of the cave. Some people who learned the news began to worry.

Among them, the silver-haired old man was undoubtedly the most anxious one, because just yesterday, someone used a flying sword to deliver a jade slip into the Luoyun Sect, which recorded in detail the specific location of the meeting with Chen Yun.

That place is not only steep in terrain, but also extremely far away from Yunmeng Mountain. If Chen Yun doesn't come out, he might not be able to keep the appointment.

Just as the silver-haired old man was sitting restlessly in the side hall of the meeting hall, Chen Yun's figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"Junior brother, you finally came out of seclusion. Did you succeed in refining the magic weapon?" The old man seemed to sense something. He turned around and saw Chen Yun standing at the door. He couldn't help but shouted in surprise.

"I finally managed to complete all the refining work. Brother, I heard that the man sent me another jade slip, which also stated the location agreed with me. Is this true?" Chen Yun's expression seemed more calm and composed than a month ago, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Indeed, he invites you to meet him at the top of Tianzhu Mountain. This is the jade slip he sent. Please take a look at it first." The silver-haired old man nodded, then threw a green jade slip to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun took the jade slip, immediately penetrated his spiritual consciousness into it, and quickly browsed through it.

"Hmph! He actually asked me to go alone, and I must carry the magic weapon Golden Thunder Bamboo. It seems that he knows the relationship between Wan'er and me very thoroughly, otherwise, he would never be so confident." Chen Yun snorted coldly, with a hint of ruthlessness on his face.

"With the other party's great magical powers, it would be easy for him to find out the details of Junior Brother and Sister Nangong without making any noise. After all, for low-level cultivators, they simply cannot keep any secrets in front of such a powerful demon cultivator."

"But Junior Brother, I can't let you take the risk alone. I have already invited five or six fellow Taoists with whom I have a close relationship, including Fire Dragon Boy. Junior Brother will go first, and the rest of us will follow closely behind. As soon as that person shows up."

"Let's launch an attack together. We must capture him. Let him know that our Xi Country is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases."

The silver-haired old man suddenly said through gritted teeth.

"The strategy you proposed is indeed brilliant. However, this person is probably quite cautious in his actions. But it's okay for you to go with me. If this person neglects precautions or is too conceited, it will be fate and he will bring about his own destruction." Chen Yun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Having help from fellow disciples is naturally something that one would wish for.

"In that case, I will follow your advice. Although the Tianzhu Peak is high up into the clouds, it is like a flat road to practitioners like us. I will mark you for easy tracking. If the opponent is very powerful, you only need to stop him, and I and my friends will rush to support him."

The silver-haired old man warned again and again.

"Thank you for your concern. I will always remember your kindness and repay you in the future."

Chen Yun, who has always been unwilling to accept favors from others, made an exception this time and expressed his gratitude.

"Haha, Junior Brother, you are a member of our Luoyun Sect, why do you need to be so polite. It's getting late, Junior Brother Chen, you'd better get ready as soon as possible. You must set off for Tianzhu Mountain tonight so that you can arrive at your destination on time."

The silver-haired old man smiled slightly, as if he didn't take the matter to heart.

Chen Yun nodded, then took his leave.

Watching Chen Yun leave, the silver-haired old man sighed softly and showed a relieved smile on his face.

My efforts were not in vain after all, as I was able to make Chen Yun say such words.

Thinking that when he dies of old age, Junior Brother Chen will definitely be grateful for this kindness and will do his best to support Luoyun Sect.

The silver-haired old man suddenly felt relieved. After thinking for a long time, he reached out and patted the storage bag, and several talismans suddenly appeared in his palm.

Then he gently waved his arms in the air, and they immediately turned into several red rays of light that rushed out and disappeared into the side hall.

After these sound transmission notes are sent out, I believe that all the friends who have already stayed in the Yingbin Pavilion will be able to gather here soon.

The old man sat on the chair with a serious expression, not moving at all.

……

As night fell, Chen Yun said goodbye to the silver-haired old man, left Yunmeng Mountain, and embarked on a long journey to Tianzhu Mountain.

About an hour after Chen Yun set out, the silver-haired old man also quietly left Luoyun Sect with the Fire Dragon Boy and others and followed closely behind.

In order to save mana, the speed of the green light controlled by Chen Yun was not too fast.

The power of this sword formation is enough to prove that what is said in the golden page is not false.

Although at present only a relatively simple Da Geng sword formation can be formed, its exquisiteness has already amazed Chen Yun and he is full of confidence in this operation.

Otherwise, how could Chen Yun be so frank in attending the appointment? (End of this chapter)
