"However, I am quite interested in Fellow Daoist Chen from your sect. I heard that this fellow disciple of Brother Chen performed outstandingly in the battle against the invasion of the Mulan tribe. He was truly brilliant and had a far-reaching influence."

"I admire this very much and look forward to getting to know this brother Chen."

Another middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing also joined the discussion after laughing heartily.

"That's true. Cheng has also heard a lot about Fellow Daoist Chen's name recently. He also longs to see it with his own eyes." The old man with rosacea also agreed with a smile.

"It's not difficult. After I help Junior Brother Chen deal with this matter, Cheng will naturally introduce you. However, I am a little worried about Junior Brother Chen's current safety."

"That demon cultivator was extremely cunning. He even devised a strategy to set up a temporary teleportation array in an attempt to escape our pursuit. Now that it has been a long time, Junior Brother is facing the enemy alone. I am afraid that something bad will happen to him."

The silver-haired old man looked worried.

"Please rest assured. Since this person has tried his best to escape from us, his own strength must not be strong, otherwise why would he be so cautious and move forward step by step. With Fellow Daoist Chen's cultivation level, he should not suffer too much loss." The middle-aged man said frankly.

"I would like to borrow your good words, fellow Taoist." The silver-haired old man smiled bitterly and could only respond like this.

He knew it very well.

Judging from the magical powers displayed by the demon cultivator who broke into Luoyun Sect that day, even if he was not a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, he was at least a top master in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and was by no means easy to deal with.

He didn't want the Luoyun Sect to welcome an extremely powerful elder and then have an unexpected incident happen.

Fortunately, as long as he could sense the existence of the tracking mark, it meant that Chen Yun's life was safe at the moment, and he could feel a little relieved.

While the six Nascent Soul cultivators were talking, they had already flown over a hundred miles away, gradually approaching the island. The faces of the people present also became serious.

"Ouch!" The silver-haired old man suddenly exclaimed, and the escape light suddenly stopped.

"Brother Cheng, what happened?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"Junior Brother Chen seems to be moving towards this place. I wonder if he has properly solved the problem, or if he is..."

The silver-haired old man did not finish his words, but the others understood the meaning. If Chen Yun was unfortunately captured, the tracking mark might also fly towards this place.

"Let's get ready. If Daoyou Chen really encounters an accident, we will naturally try to rescue him."

The old man surnamed You said calmly, then he stretched out his hand and slapped the storage bag, and a small yellow bell appeared in his hand. He held it up gently, staring ahead in silence.

After the other monks looked at each other, they also took out their magic weapons with solemn expressions and prepared for battle.

The silver-haired old man had a gloomy expression and deep worry in his eyes.

A moment later, everyone noticed a flash of green light in the distance, and a green light broke through the air.

"It turned out to be Junior Brother Chen's escape light. Nothing happened to him."

Seeing the escaping light, the silver-haired old man immediately breathed a sigh of relief without using his spiritual sense to investigate, and said with a smile on his face.

When the other monks saw this, they all showed surprise on their faces.

Since Chen Yun is safe and sound, could it be that he defeated the evil cultivator on his own?
"Brother Chen, Fellow Daoist Huolong, it turns out that you two have already arrived here. I guess the people who were traveling with you just now are your helpers. Chen was able to escape this time because of your great help. I am really grateful to you all."

Chen Yun frowned, as if he was troubled by something, but when he saw the silver-haired old man and several other monks, he forced a smile and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are too polite. We arrived a step too late and were unable to provide any substantial assistance. We are truly ashamed!"

The old man surnamed You observed Chen Yun carefully for a moment, then responded modestly.

The other monks seemed to respect the gray-robed old man as their superior, and all looked at Chen Yun with smiles on their faces.

The silver-haired old man cast his eyes behind Chen Yun, and saw no trace of pursuers, so he asked in confusion:
"Junior Brother Chen, what happened to that demon cultivator? Could it be that he has been successfully defeated by you?"

"This person has been eliminated by me, and his Nascent Soul has also been turned into nothingness. However, this person is not the leader of Yinluo Sect, but only an elder of the sect."

Chen Yun replied in a calm tone.

"I was actually killed by you, Junior Brother. Although the opponent is not a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, he is undoubtedly a demon cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage. How could you defeat him?"

The silver-haired old man was shocked when he heard this.

Upon hearing the news, the old man surnamed You, the Fire Dragon Boy and others also looked horrified.

Although they did not care about the demon cultivator on the way, when they learned that he was able to seriously injure an early Nascent Soul cultivator in Luoyun Sect and leave calmly, they knew that this demon cultivator was no ordinary person.

If the cultivator surnamed You had not come with the Immortal Bell, they might not have dared to intervene in this matter.

However, when they heard that Chen Yun had killed the demon cultivator alone and even his Nascent Soul had turned into nothing, they were naturally shocked.

"It was a stroke of luck. His technique happened to be restrained by me."

Chen Yun explained vaguely, and after thinking for a while, he waved his hand and threw a black object to the silver-haired old man.

The old man subconsciously took the object and felt a bone-chilling cold. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a black token with complicated and dense spells and incantations, and an ancient "Luo" character engraved in the center.

"What is this?" The silver-haired old man vaguely guessed the reason, but still couldn't help asking.

"This is what the demon cultivator left behind. It is the token of the elder of Yinluo Sect. It is also a very powerful ancient treasure. With this token in hand, it is enough to prove his identity."

Chen Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then stated calmly.

When everyone heard this, they all focused their eyes on the token. They were naturally able to sense the extraordinary nature of the token, and all doubts in their hearts disappeared.

Then, other monks asked about the details of the battle, but Chen Yun just glossed over it.

Seeing that he had no intention of elaborating, everyone tactfully stopped asking further questions.

However, they all wanted to make friends with Chen Yun.

After all, someone like Chen Yun who could defeat a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage must have great magical powers. Establishing a good relationship with him would bring many benefits to both the sect and the individual.

Facing these monks who came to help, Chen Yun naturally behaved very respectfully, and the group returned to Luoyun Sect with a very pleasant conversation.

On the way back, Chen Yun parted ways with the silver-haired old man and those cultivators, and the two of them returned to Luoyun Sect in Yunmeng Mountain together.

In the side hall of the sect's meeting hall, the old man finally mustered up the courage to raise his doubts:
"Brother Chen, did you find a way to remove the soul-sealing curse during this operation? I saw that you looked serious on the road and seemed to be forcing a smile. Didn't this trip achieve the expected goal?"

"This elder of Yinluo Sect specializes in spellcasting and knows nothing about how to break the spell. According to the information I obtained through soul-searching, the formula for revealing the soul-sealing spell is only known to the Sect Master of Yinluo Sect and the great elders of the sect."

"The other elders are just like the evil cultivators I eliminated. They are only good at casting spells, but are helpless in breaking them." Chen Yunduan said with a wry smile, sitting on a wooden chair nearby.

"Can't break the curse?"

The silver-haired old man frowned in thought and said in disbelief.

"Indeed! It seems that this method of removing the soul-sealing curse involves an extremely profound secret technique of the Yinluo Sect. Since ancient times, only the Sect Master and the Great Elder have been qualified to understand it. No one else has the chance to practice it."

Chen Yun's face was as gloomy as water, and he spoke frankly without reservation.

"If there is no way to remove the spell, then Sister Nangong..."

The silver-haired old man's expression became more and more solemn.

"Although there is no formula to directly break the spell, there are still ways to do it. As an elder of the Yinluo Sect, this demon cultivator has revealed several ways to forcibly break the seal with the help of external forces."

Chen Yun's eyes flickered, and he changed the subject and continued speaking.

"What can remove the soul-sealing curse? Junior Brother Chen, please tell me in detail."

The old man perked up and asked eagerly.

"These items are all rare treasures in this world. Under normal circumstances, they would be difficult to find."

Chen Yun sighed and listed two things casually. The silver-haired old man was shocked and fell into a brief silence.

“I doubt whether these items still exist in the world even in my Tiannan Continent.”

The old man murmured in a low voice.

"Not necessarily. I happen to know where one of them is. However, it is also very difficult to obtain. I need to make careful preparations before I can be sure of it."

Chen Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and he responded calmly.

The old man was surprised when he heard Chen Yun's words, but seeing that Chen Yun seemed unwilling to elaborate, he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said sincerely.

"Do you need the help of my brother and the sect? You are welcome, brother!"

"Forget it. This operation cannot be successfully completed with a large number of people."

Chen Yun was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head to refuse.

"Since you have already made up your mind, I will not say anything more. However, you still insist on your previous suggestion. If there is a need, you can mobilize the sect's resources at any time."

The silver-haired old man did not force it, stroked his beard and said calmly.

"I appreciate your kindness, Senior Brother. I want to go visit Wan'er."

Chen Yun forced a smile, then stood up and said goodbye.

After the silver-haired old man sent Chen Yun out of the hall, he stood alone in front of the hall door and thought for a long time. Finally, he sighed lightly, turned into a bright light, and rushed towards his own cave.

……

The secret room containing the ice wall remained intact and no accidents occurred.

Chen Yun stood quietly in front of the ice wall, staring at the girl in the ice, his expression slightly dazed.

This state lasted for a long time. After Chen Yun's eyes revealed complicated emotions, he suddenly whispered to himself:
"Wan'er, you are truly courageous. You actually dared to take the risk of practicing the most dangerous part of the Su Nu Samsara Technique, the 'Cai Nu Tian Yue Jue', at a critical moment."

"Don't you know that this is a secret technique that can help you survive even when facing death? If I succeed in unlocking your soul seal, but you encounter an accident during your practice, wouldn't that make me very worried?"

Chen Yun whispered, his voice gradually becoming smaller, and finally he came to the ice wall, gently touching the thick ice layer with his fingertips, outlining Nangong Wan's tender and unique face.

"Perhaps you don't understand yet. The demon cultivator who cast the curse on you doesn't know the secret to removing the curse. However, there is no need to worry too much."

"I have found a way to awaken you from his consciousness. With the help of some external objects, the seal can be removed. Although these objects are difficult to find in the world, fortunately, one of them happens to exist in the Fallen Demon Valley."

"The inner elixir of this ancient fire demon beast is indeed difficult to obtain under normal circumstances. However, there happens to be an ancient fire toad beast in the Fallen Demon Valley, and the conditions are completely consistent."

"It seems that I don't need to hesitate any longer when I go to the Fallen Demon Valley in a few years. Although this method of relying on external forces has only a 50% chance of removing the Soul Seal."

"But even if I fail, I can still significantly weaken the effect of the curse. With this time, I can go to Jin State with peace of mind. No matter what means I use, I will definitely be able to obtain the secret to breaking the curse by then."

When Chen Yun said this, his tone gradually became cold.

Facing Nangong Wan in the ice wall, Chen Yun talked to her for a while, released his inner boredom, sat quietly in the secret room for a while, and finally left.

Then it turned into a green light and quickly returned to the cave in Zimu Peak.

Inside the cave hall, Chen Yunduan sat on the main seat, lowering his head slightly in deep thought, as if he was thinking about something.

Yin Yue stood respectfully aside, her dark eyes moving constantly across Chen Yun's face, revealing a somewhat mischievous look.

"What are you looking at? Are flowers blooming on my face?"

Chen Yun didn't look up, but just asked lightly.

"Master, you are joking. I am just guessing your future plans. The time until we enter the Devil Valley is neither long nor short."

"In addition, Zi Ling girl and Nan Longhou have invited you at the same time. Which side do you plan to form an alliance with and go to the valley together?"

"And have you thought it through, Master? The Devil Valley is known as the most dangerous place in the south of the sky. Although the Master has extraordinary abilities, he will still face great danger if he enters it. Even if he wants to save Miss Nangong, he can find another way and look for other items. Going to the Devil Valley is really too risky."

Yin Yue first smiled slightly, then spoke with a little hesitation.

"The other items? Are you talking about the eggshell of the ten thousand year old black gold bird or the fruit of the bodhi flower? These treasures have most likely already disappeared from this world."

"Only the demon pill of the ancient fire toad has become the easiest option to obtain. As long as we follow the route map left by Master Cangkun and avoid excessive greed and blindly taking risks, we don't have to worry about getting lost along the way. As for whether to choose to work with a certain force, this matter needs to be discussed later."

Chen Yun shook his head slightly and stated in a calm tone.

"Since the master has made the decision, then as a servant I naturally have nothing to say." Yin Yue lowered her head, no longer arguing, and expressed her views frankly.

Chen Yun smiled and nodded, then touched his chin and said:

"Before setting off for the Fallen Demon Valley, I plan to go to the Far West first to obtain the last two levels of the Great Evolution Technique." (End of this chapter)
