Although the blue-clad woman's strength prevented the soul banner from completely sealing off her external senses—after all, the soul banner was essentially a weapon, not a prison—at least You Wensi had added a surveillance function to this magical artifact. If the blue-clad woman made any significant moves, Yun Chuan would be able to sense it immediately.

Just now, he had already sensed the blue-clad woman's reaction. He leaned in, looked at her, and asked with a playful tone, "Are you excited?"

Inside the soul banner, the blue-clad woman's delicate body trembled slightly. She pursed her lips, as if she had a thousand words to express.

However, in the end, she gave Yun Chu'an a hateful look and said nothing.

Yun Chu'an wasn't angry and could understand her mindset at this moment, so he said, "You should be able to recognize the current situation. Now, there is absolutely no way you can escape my grasp."

"So, if you have any ideas or plans, the best option is to tell me. Maybe I'll remember our past relationship and help you find a completely new way out."

He spoke calmly and confidently. Not because he now possessed a great deal of knowledge, but because he had the system at his disposal.

Just kidding. Even if I don't understand, do you think the system wouldn't understand?

He was so confident, but this demeanor only made the woman in blue scoff and mock him, saying, "Overestimating yourself."

Yun Chu'an knew that her cultivation level in life must have been far higher than his own, so he didn't believe he could do anything.

He wasn't in a hurry. He turned and left, leaving behind only one sentence that echoed in the empty soul banner space: "Wait and see."

After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared, and inside the soul banner, only the woman in blue remained, quietly contemplating her future.

In the path of cultivation, time knows no bounds; it marches ever onward.

Yun Chu'an returned to his normal cultivation life, except that Qi Qiao was now by his side; essentially, it was no different from before.

Meanwhile, he was diligently preparing high-grade spirit stones to help Ye Jinglan, You Wensi, and Rong Jieyu break through to the Nascent Soul stage in turn, according to the plan.

He looked forward to the day when the three of them broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, so that they could explore the Corpse Driving Sect's final treasure. After that, he would spread the word to lure Yan Yao's other fragments into a trap.

Of course, these plans will take time to be realized step by step.

But time wasn't on his side.

The people of Qin were also taking action. King Ying Xuan of Qin claimed to be personally suppressing the rebellion, but in reality, he was constantly dealing with the rebels within the country, and for a time, neither side could do anything about it.

The key point is that Bai Wu'an and his group of late-stage Nascent Soul Grand Pillars are starting to find various excuses to put pressure on the State of Han, showing signs of aggression.

The King of Han clearly could not withstand such pressure and made substantial concessions time and time again.

A year has passed, and now, fifteen strategic locations in South Korea have effectively fallen into the hands of the Qin state.

By advancing one soldier at a time, gradually eroding the Qin state, for a time, no one in the entire Central Plains could truly do anything to Qin.

Many insightful people are worried about how things are developing, but unfortunately, they are powerless to change it.

On this day, while Yun Chuan was cultivating in Caozhou City, a message from Dongfang Yue came from afar, urging him to come to Qingyun Sect immediately.

Upon hearing the news, Yun Chu'an naturally dared not delay and set off without stopping. A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the Qingyun Sect.

Then, halfway up the main peak, he met Yan Shuiyi and the sisters Dongfang Yue.

The girl was dressed as usual, in a smart and appropriate sword outfit, with bright eyes and white teeth, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Upon seeing him arrive, she immediately smiled charmingly and proactively released her aura, showcasing her cultivation level.

Behind her, Dongfang Yue grinned, a proud expression on her face, as if she herself had made a breakthrough.

Sensing the fluctuations emanating from Yan Shui, Yun Chu'an's face lit up with joy. He rushed forward and embraced her, saying, "Congratulations! Now you'll be an elder of the Qingyun Sect, right?"

Now, Yan Shuiyi has successfully broken through and reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Behind her, Dongfang Yue proudly declared, "Of course, Senior Sister will not only be an elder in the future, but also the youngest elder in the history of the Qingyun Sect!"

Her high-profile declaration made Yun Chuan quite nervous; anyone who didn't know better would think that Dongfang Yue had accomplished this unprecedented feat.

Yan Shui, naturally quiet and reserved, felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and said shyly, "Not really, Yue'er. I haven't been a steward for very long. Although I've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, I still want to continue training here..."

Yun Chuan said, "This is a good thing. With more experience, you can accumulate more knowledge and skills."

As he spoke, he put his arm around her shoulder and rubbed his head against her cheek a couple of times: "Then tonight, I have to congratulate you properly!"

Yan Shui felt both shy and secretly pleased. She was about to agree when she suddenly remembered Dongfang Yue was still nearby. She hurriedly distanced herself from him, her face flushed, and tried to appear nonchalant. She coughed lightly and said, "Well, Fellow Daoist Yun, there's another matter I wanted to discuss with you..."

She used this formal form of address rather awkwardly, while trying to pretend that nothing was wrong.

Beside her, Dongfang Yue suppressed a laugh, exchanged a glance with Yun Chu'an, and had a rather sly expression.

Yun Chu'an guessed that she wanted to tease her senior sister, but before she could tell her, Yan Shui said, "I have a senior brother who is more than seven hundred years older than me. He is from the Southern Flame Continent. Recently, he plans to return to the Qingyun Sect for some study and exchange. Perhaps I can help you two meet?"

"In that case, the thing you've been thinking about should finally be resolved."

Yun Chu'an snapped out of her daze, her eyes lighting up: "Is that so? That's wonderful!" You Mei Yong is here in Lin Kong, but Lin Zaizai isn't...

His heart burned with excitement, eager to try. Seeing his joy, Yan Shui's eyes softened with a gentle tenderness.

Dongfang Yue watched the ambiguous atmosphere that was quietly rising between the two and pursed her lips. A feeling of jealousy quietly arose, but then it all turned into the motivation to do something bad.

She was going to give her senior a good beating.

Afterwards, Yan Shuiyi pretended to keep her distance from him, and was respectful and proper, and arranged for him to stay at the Qingyun Sect.

Although Yun Chuan found her appearance quite amusing, he didn't mind. He settled in with her and waited to meet the person from the Southern Flame Continent.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Nangong Wan held a grand sermon on the main peak of the Qingyun Sect.

Chapter 829 Senior Brother Kungu

Many elders of the Qingyun Sect came to listen to the lecture, and their cultivation level was at least at the Nascent Soul stage; many cultivators from outside also came to listen, and their cultivation level was no lower than the Nascent Soul stage; even many non-sectarians like Yun Chuan, who were pillars of the vassal states, came from afar to listen to the lecture.

However, because of his connection with Yan Shuiyi, Yun Chu'an managed to get a seat and listen to the lecture nearby. The many Nascent Soul Pillars who had come from afar were only there temporarily and had to stand to listen.

Then, when Nangong Wan began to preach, even though Yun Chuan was not focused on swordsmanship, he listened with great interest. Many blind spots were pointed out one by one, and many ingenious details amazed him, making him suddenly enlightened.

He couldn't help but recall the various enemies he had encountered before, all of whom seemed to love wielding swords. Considering they were all from the Central Plains, perhaps it was because the Qingyun Sect's influence was too great that embarking on the path of swordsmanship was a case of getting twice the result for half the effort. After all, there were so many complete sword manuals to learn, making it naturally easier than other paths.

While listening to the lecture, Yan Shuiyi was right next to him. She had initially wanted to be reserved, but when she got excited, she couldn't help but hold Yun Chuan's hand, her heart pounding.

Dongfang Yue sat on his other side. She only had the cultivation of the Golden Core stage and originally did not need to come to listen to her mother's sermon, but she came because she wanted to.

She originally wanted to be reserved and sit quietly, but then she noticed that her senior sister was holding hands with Yun Chu'an, so she quietly took Yun Chu'an's hand as well.

Thus, surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators, Yun Chu'an held the hand of the youngest Nascent Soul elder in the history of the Qingyun Sect in one hand and the hand of the only precious daughter of the Nangong Sect Master in the other, and listened to Nangong Wan's sermon with a clear conscience.

The sermon lasted for seven days. During this time, some people left and some new people joined, but the former were fewer than the latter.

Finally, after seven days, Nangong Wan announced the end of the event. However, the Nascent Soul experts from various countries and even other continents who had come to exchange ideas did not leave. Instead, they continued to gather together to share their experiences.

Such a sermon is a rare event in the entire Central Plains; even in the entire cultivation world of the Nine Provinces, it is extremely rare.

After all, it's rare to see nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators at the same time, all gathered in one place, doing something together.

Only Nangong Wan possesses such a level of understanding and is willing to personally preach to cultivators whose cultivation is so much lower than hers. That's why she has such influence, allowing over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, both inside and outside the Qingyun Sect, to exchange ideas with her.

But after the event ended, Yan Shuiyi didn't rush back to go into seclusion to meditate. Instead, she directly introduced Yun Chuan to the Qingyun Sect disciple, Yan Shuiyi's senior brother, whose hometown was in the Southern Flame Continent. He had rushed over to attend the lecture and seemed to be heading back soon, so that he could gather information.

However, Yun Chu'an was somewhat surprised when he saw the other party.

It turned out to be a Black man.

Yan Shuiyi had already told him about the other party's situation beforehand. He also knew that the other party's name was Kun Gu, and he was a poor rogue cultivator from the Southern Flame Continent. However, because of his outstanding talent and the special physique "Sun Undying Body", he was valued by an old Nascent Soul cultivator from the Southern Flame Continent who was also from the Qingyun Sect, and was recommended to join the Qingyun Sect.

Of course, "Sun Undying Body" is the local name used in the Southern Flame Continent, a powerful and direct translation. According to the Central Plains, it should be called "High-Level Fire Spirit Body".

Although it is very rare, it is not so rare as to be capable of destroying the world.

He initially studied under a Nascent Soul elder of the Qingyun Sect for a hundred years, only returning home after reaching the mid-Golden Core stage.

However, on one occasion, Nangong Wan saw that he was studying diligently and gave him some pointers. As a result, he began to refer to himself as "the disciple of the Qingyun Sect Master" and said so everywhere.

Although no one paid him any attention in the Central Plains, his reputation was very influential in the Southern Yan Continent, bringing him many conveniences.

The Qingyun Sect didn't bother to refute the rumors. Besides, he was now a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator and a powerful figure in the area, so there was no need for him to tarnish the sect's reputation.

Yun Chu'an knew all about these things. He just hadn't expected the other person's skin to be so dark.

He was slightly shorter than Yun Chu'an, with a fairly well-proportioned build. He wore a bright red Taoist robe, and his face was resolute and meticulous. "You Mei Yong are busy, you Lin Zaizai are not available..."

As soon as he got closer, Yun Chuan felt a wave of heat coming from him. If one's cultivation level was low, the heat would be unbearable even if one got close.

“Chu’an, this is Senior Brother Kungu.” Yan Shui introduced him, “Senior Brother, this is the Pillar of Jin State that Master mentioned before, Fellow Daoist Yun Chu’an. He came to you this time because he has some information about the Southern Flame Continent that he wants to inquire about.”

As Yun Chu'an sized up this person, Kun Gu was also observing Yun Chu'an. Normally, Yun Chu'an came from a vassal state, not a prestigious sect like the Qingyun Sect, so he was inherently arrogant and didn't think the other party was worth taking seriously.

But now, with Nangong Wan personally recommending him, and Yan Shuiyi, the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of Qingyun Sect and the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in history, he couldn't help but take this treatment seriously.

Ultimately, he was just an ordinary Qingyun Sect disciple who left the sect at the Golden Core stage to return to his hometown and work hard. He wasn't outstanding enough to be compared with those who could stay in the sect.

Not to mention a peerless genius like Yan Shuiyi, whom he knew he could not compare to.

At that moment, looking at Yun Chu'an, he took the initiative to extend his hand and said in a low voice, "Hello."

Yun Chu'an shook hands with him politely, and immediately felt an astonishing heat emanating from his strong and powerful hand. He then confirmed that the other man's cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down at a tea table halfway up the mountain. Yun Chu'an then got straight to the point: "I have something to ask you about: Do you know the name 'Yan Yao'?"

Kun Gu said, "I dare not accept such a title. I am several hundred years older than you, but our cultivation levels are roughly the same. I dare not call myself a 'senior.' We are equals; just call me 'senior brother.'"

Yun Chuan said, "Then it would be impolite of me to refuse, Senior Brother Kungu."

Kun Gu was secretly pleased. Then he continued, "As for the name 'Yan Yao,' to be honest, due to some historical reasons, the Southern Flame Continent... has had close communication with several other continents. For example, my ancestor, well, because of his skin, could not possibly be a native of the Southern Flame Continent."

Yun Chu'an smiled, and then said, "So, Junior Brother Yun, could you provide further information? We can investigate further so we can search more accurately later."

His request was quite reasonable. Yun Chu'an pondered for a moment and said, "First, she is a woman. Second..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold laugh suddenly came from within the soul banner: "Give up your idea. You three little devils think you can find out where I am in the Southern Flame Continent?"

It was the woman in blue who was shouting.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an's expression shifted. He then sent a wisp of his consciousness into the soul banner, gazing at her, and suddenly smiled: "What, getting impatient?"

For the past year, he had carried this fragment of Yan Yao with him at all times. After all, given her strength and her current attitude towards them, it wouldn't be safe to leave her anywhere.

It is only safe if he carries it with him personally.

This caused Yun Chuan great inconvenience. For example, when he was having a threesome with You Wensi and Rong Jieyu, or playing a mother-daughter threesome with Qi Qiao and You Wensi, or playing a threesome with the three of them, he would always hear Lan Yi Yan Yao's curses.

Although limited by her knowledge, her insults were always the same few phrases, such as perverted, lewd, perverted, shameless, and so on. Yun Chu'an was so tired of hearing them that they weren't very offensive.

Moreover, for some reason, every time she was halfway through her rant, she would quietly fall silent. Yun Chu'an didn't know what she was doing either; as long as she didn't cause trouble, that was good enough.

But why is she reacting so strongly when I haven't even started dual cultivation yet?

Chapter 830 The Blue-Clad Woman's Dilemma Inside the soul banner, Yun Chu'an's spiritual sense looked at the blue-clad woman with a hint of curiosity. Then he saw her turn her face away and say coldly, "I advise you not to waste your energy on this kind of thing. By the way, didn't you want to fish? But your actions will only alert the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an could only burst into laughter: "Are you going to say that the wisest thing to do if we want to find out the other fragments safely is to cooperate with you and obediently listen to you?"

His voice carried a hint of sarcasm, and the woman in blue knew immediately that this option was absolutely impossible.

She suppressed her anger, her tone laced with sarcasm, and said, "It's still better than your reckless actions!"

Yun Chu'an wasn't angry. Regaining his composure, he faced Kun Gu and continued, "She should be skilled in weapon forging and her cultivation level should be higher than ours. And most importantly, she should have disappeared for some time now..."

He described the other party's features in this way, and from within the soul banner, the woman in blue suddenly let out a shrill cry: "Stop!"

Yun Chu'an frowned, then sent a wisp of his divine consciousness to continue speaking to her within the soul banner: "Since I captured you, I have not done anything to you. I advise you not to exhaust my patience. I also have quite a few skills in torturing people."

The woman in blue gritted her teeth, finally having no other choice, and spoke her true feelings: "If you do this, you'll bring back my old enemies too!"

"And those people are people you absolutely cannot deal with. They are all behemoths that can stand on equal footing with the Qingyun Sect!"

She threatened him like this, and Yun Chu'an's expression shifted upon hearing this. Then he looked at Kun Gu with a sincere expression: "Please, the Qingyun Sect is still waiting for me to deliver the goods. If this matter is not investigated clearly, many things... cannot be settled!"

Yan Shui didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She had always known about the cooperation between Yun Chu'an and Elder Hu, so it was understandable that she said that.

But Kun Gu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is that so? No wonder Master personally sent me a message to come over this time. It turns out it concerns a major event for the entire Qingyun Sect."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Yun. Since this concerns our sect, I will do everything in my power, at any cost, to help you find out who this person is!"

He made such a confident promise, patting his chest to guarantee it, but no one knew what he was really planning to do with all that bragging rights.

Yan Shui blinked, sensing that something was amiss. This was clearly Yun Chu'an's business, but after some digressions, it had somehow become a matter for the Qingyun Sect.

Yun Chu'an smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. At the same time, he probed into the soul banner, found the woman in blue, and said with a smile, "See, this crisis is resolved."

Despite saying that, deep down, he silently apologized to Nangong Wan. Although this situation wasn't entirely his doing: after all, it was Kun Gu in front of him who was constantly using the Qingyun Sect's name to profit himself in the Southern Flame Continent.

It's not Yun Chu'an.

Inside the soul banner, the woman in blue snorted coldly, turned her head away, and said nothing more.

She also knew that Qingyun Sect, as the top sect in the Central Plains, had unfathomable power behind it. By diverting trouble eastward, she could both protect her own safety and obtain the information she wanted.

For a moment, the woman in blue was somewhat annoyed. But unconsciously, a sense of fear also rose in her heart.

If his partner is reliable and his reconnaissance in the Southern Flame Continent goes smoothly, then all his true information will be revealed, leaving him nowhere to hide.
