Chen Nan knew that this Yun Chen was not of an ordinary status.

Not to mention her powerful strength, just the fact that she could recognize he wasn't from the Kuang Clan showed her vast knowledge. If she were just an ordinary cultivation genius, she wouldn't have such insight.

"I told you, my name is Kuang Yun."

Chen Nan also communicated through Divine Sense, so only the two of them could hear this conversation.

Yun Chen stared at Chen Nan, and after a moment, transmitted, "I don't know why you're pretending to be from the Kuang Clan, but if you defame the Kuang Clan's name outside, I will tear you to pieces."

Chen Nan frowned and stared at her: "Are you from the Kuang Clan?"

Yun Chen sneered coldly and said, "You tell me your true identity, and I'll tell you mine. A fair trade, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan became more vigilant.

She was unsure whether the other party was testing her, and if she revealed her true situation, and then the other leaked it, she'd have no place for burial here in Purple Cloud Palace.

"I told you, my name is Kuang Yun. Ask me a thousand times, and my name is still Kuang Yun," Chen Nan transmitted.

"Liar!"

Yun Chen stared into his eyes, "By asking if I'm from the Kuang Clan, you've basically admitted you're not from the Kuang Clan, because you know nothing about them."

Chen Nan realized he had slipped up: "I have no interest in arguing with you. If you want a fight, then let's have a proper battle today. Make your move!"

Yun Chen sneered coldly, turned her back on Chen Nan, and walked out of the Demonstration Arena.

She stopped transmitting through Divine Sense and said, "I haven't been going all out, and you're only at the First Layer Heaven, not my match even if we continue."

She hadn't even gone all out!

Chen Nan didn't doubt the truth of her words, as under these circumstances, she had no need to boast.

However, Chen Nan also hadn't gone all out himself.

Although he'd only comprehended the first move of Chaotic First Form, its power exceeded Three Elements Return to One, and if elsewhere, he could also activate the Lie Character Secret Method, releasing even greater strength.

Watching Yun Chen go, Chen Nan asked, "You're leaving?"

Yun Chen glanced back at him and said, "Or do you want to keep me, cut off your arm, and tear your mouth apart?"

Chen Nan soared through the air, his figure cutting across the sky like lightning, blocking her path, and said, "You can leave, but you must either admit defeat or acknowledge you're not a disciple of Purple Cloud Palace, one of the two."

"I've never been a disciple of Purple Cloud Palace, and besides, I don't practice Taoist Skill. Is there even a need to admit it?" Yun Chen looked up and said, "However, the way you speak makes me quite uncomfortable."

Chen Nan frowned and looked at her: "Then what do you want?"

"Give me something as an apology, how about it?" Yun Chen said.

Chen Nan shrugged, "I have nothing to give you."

Yun Chen approached him, suddenly reached for his neck, and snatched away the Magic Pendant with the Thunder Mark: "This will do, it looks pretty."

Chen Nan frowned. This was given to him by Hua Xian'er.

He quickly reached out to grab it back, but Yun Chen dodged, avoiding it. She jiggled the Magic Pendant in her hand: "Who would've thought, it's actually a Magic Pendant. It's mine now, farewell."

Yun Chen leaped up, attempting to fly away.

But Chen Nan quickly grabbed her ankle, pulling her down from mid-air: "Give back the pendant, it was a gift from a friend, I can't pass it on to you. If you want a gift, I have plenty of weapons, pick any one you like?"

"I just want this pendant."

Yun Chen twisted free from Chen Nan's grip.

Chen Nan combined the Absorption Star Method with the Crack Sky Hand, releasing a massive Light Palm with immense suction, seizing Yun Chen's body.

"You cannot hold me."

Yun Chen pushed with both arms, shattering the Light Palm gripping her in an instant.

She broke free from the control of the Absorption Star Method, using the Flying Technique, she flew into the distance.

Chen Nan wanted to pursue, but once the Dual World was used, his identity would be exposed, and so he had to give up, looking toward Lin Zi Yang on the stage: "Senior Lin, I wonder if there are more disciples from your side who want to challenge?"

Lin Zi Yang looked at the stage below: "Is there anyone else unwilling?"

The audience remained silent.

This result was within Lin Zi Yang's expectations. He felt disappointed but resigned, he said: "Since that's the case, I suppose no one will object to temporarily lending the Wind-controlling Sword to the Kuang Clan?"

Having witnessed Chen Nan's combat prowess, none of the younger disciples dared to object.

The match concluded here, and the disciples dispersed.

Chen Nan obtained the Wind-controlling Sword as he wished but did not leave, for he had another important matter.

"Senior Lin, regarding Miss Yu Wen's matter, have you discussed it with the elders?" When Lin Zi Yang and the elders were about to leave the arena, Chen Nan blocked their way.

Lin Zi Yang looked troubled.

He glanced at the elders and said, "I've discussed with them and agreed to release Yu Wenqingxue. But with thousands of disciples in the sect, they certainly won't accept it easily. After all, she's committed serious offenses. Therefore, the matter needs careful consideration."

Chen Nan shook his head: "Senior Lin is overthinking. Why not just announce that it's not Miss Yu Wen who poisoned? That should suffice, right?"

"This..."

Lin Zi Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, "The evidence is conclusive, most disciples already know about it, clearing her name isn't that simple. Brother Kuang, please wait a bit, by tomorrow morning I will resolve this perfectly."

Lin Zi Yang, finding excuses to delay, clearly didn't want to release her.

Chen Nan knew this but since the other party had promised to resolve it by the next morning, he couldn't push too hard.

"In that case, thank you."

Chen Nan cupped his fists in thanks and left with the borrowed Wind-controlling Sword.

After Chen Nan departed, Lin Zi Yang looked back at the elders.

"Palace Master, this Kuang Clan boy is too rude, surely we can't really hand over Yu Wenqingxue, the treacherous disciple, to him?" one elder said.

Another elder chimed in, "Exactly, if Yu Wenqingxue is handed over, how can we convince the masses? Besides, if we refrain from punishing the traitorous disciple out of fear of the Kuang Clan, what authority would our Purple Cloud Palace's rules have?"

Lin Zi Yang fell silent.

Moments later, he shook his head and said, "No, this traitorous disciple cannot be allowed to leave alive."

"What does the Palace Master mean?"

"Yu Wenqingxue, kill without mercy!" Lin Zi Yang's eyes showed intense killing intent: "Once she's dead, by tomorrow morning we can claim she committed suicide out of guilt. That Kuang Yun can't threaten us."
