"Stop all of you!"

Just as the members of the Zheng character sect were in a dilemma, a loud shout echoed.

A divine light flew over from the distance, landing in front of Chen Nan. Lin Zi Yang's figure emerged, scanning the surroundings as he pointed at the crowd and shouted, "Nonsense! Brother Kuang is an esteemed guest of our Purple Cloud Palace. Why haven't you all withdrawn your weapons and apologized to Brother Kuang?"

The disciples hurriedly withdrew their weapons, cupping their fists toward Chen Nan in apology.

Chen Nan was well aware that Lin Zi Yang's sudden appearance was merely a reluctant move to avoid clashing with the Kuang Clan.

In fact, everything that happened today was under his command. Without it, no one would have dared to act on their own.

Chen Nan looked at Lin Zi Yang and said, "Senior Lin, whether Yu Wenqingxue was guilty or not, she is dead now. I simply wish to take her body and find a suitable place to bury her, hoping you won't stop me."

Lin Zi Yang, with his profound cultivation, could sense that Yu Wenqingxue still had a faint trace of life.

He shook his head and said, "Brother Kuang, you're mistaken. Yu Wenqingxue is a disciple of our Purple Cloud Palace. Although she's dead now, she should still be buried by our Purple Cloud Palace. Besides, burial is burial, so why insist?"

Chen Nan didn't know how long Yu Wenqingxue could hold on and didn't want to waste words. With a cold expression, he said, "She is my benefactor, and I must find an auspicious place to bury her personally. Therefore, I must take her body away today. I hope Senior Lin will allow it!"

Lin Zi Yang's expression became complicated.

He stared at Chen Nan, feeling very frustrated, yet couldn't afford to tear things apart.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth, ready to let Chen Nan leave, as offending the Kuang Clan was not an option. However, at this moment—

"Palace Master, Senior Brother in Charge has returned!"

A loud cry came, and everyone looked to the right, only to see a middle-aged man flying over using Controlling the Air Technique.

The man's name was Dan Tianming, a chief disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace and a candidate for the next Palace Master. He approached Lin Zi Yang, coldly glanced at Chen Nan, and then cupped his fists, saying, "Master, this disciple has urgent news to report!"

Lin Zi Yang frowned and asked, "What's the news? Feel free to speak."

"This morning in Tianzhou City, I encountered a senior from the Kuang Clan who revealed that the Kuang Clan never sent anyone out to borrow a sword, nor is there anyone named Kuang Yun." Dan Tianming pointed at Chen Nan, coldly snorting, "This so-called Kuang Clan Kuang Yun is nothing but an imposter!"

"What!"

Everyone present was shocked.

This powerful Kuang Yun was not a member of the Kuang Clan; everyone had been fooled by him.

Lin Zi Yang furrowed his brows and said, "Tian'er, is this true?"

"Absolutely true, Master, I swear on my head that this Kuang Yun is not from the Kuang Clan," Dan Tianming said. "Moreover, I visited Xuanwu City and learned from the Great Elder that the notorious ancestor who recently caused a stir in the city exhibited methods strikingly similar to this Kuang Yun!"

Kuang Yun was not from the Kuang Clan but an old nemesis, the ancestor!

This statement stunned everyone, as Lin Zi Yang glared at Chen Nan and asked, "Brother Kuang, do you have anything to say?"

Although Chen Nan was anxious, his face remained calm, "When someone wants to incriminate you, there's always a way to do so."

Dan Tianming sneered coldly, "Let's see how long you can keep up the act. At your cultivation level, members of the Kuang Clan can easily control the air flight. Yet, you've never displayed such a technique because you have a guilty conscience."

Chen Nan's heart turned cold.

Once the Dual World technique was activated, his true identity would be instantly revealed.

However, if he didn't demonstrate the sky-controlling flight technique, his identity would still be exposed. At this point, it was truly a dilemma.

Lin Zi Yang stared at Chen Nan and said, "Brother Kuang, since there are doubts, why don't you reveal your flying technique to dispel the concerns? That way, the rumors will naturally collapse, won't they?"

"Of course, I can."

Chen Nan responded, already mentally prepared to escape.

Maintaining his calm demeanor, he activated his Mysterious Skill. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he embraced Yu Wenqingxue and leaped into the air, thrusting himself ten meters high. He instantly executed the Dual World Extreme Speed, fleeing into the distance.

"Stop him!"

The Dual World was too conspicuous; as soon as it was displayed, Chen Nan's 'ancestor' identity was immediately exposed.

"You think you can escape?"

Sneers echoed from all directions, as more than a dozen white-haired elders soared from around the Purple Cloud Palace, blocking Chen Nan's path.

These elders were all elder-level figures of the Purple Cloud Palace.

In fact, as soon as Dan Tianming brought the news back, they had already set up an ambush to prevent this ancestor from escaping.

Holding Yu Wenqingxue in his arms, Chen Nan glanced around and shouted, "With things as they are, I have nothing to hide. I must take her away today, and anyone who stands in my way will meet their end!"

"Ignorant, with the surname Zu, not only Yu Wenqingxue, but even you will not escape today!" Lin Zi Yang sneered, flying into the air.

"In that case, whoever doesn't fear death, come forward!"

Holding Yu Wenqingxue in one hand and the Purple Cloud Palace's Treasure, the Wind-controlling Sword, in the other, Chen Nan scanned the crowd.

"Ignorant brat, do you think the Wind-controlling Sword is yours just because it's in your hands? You clearly underestimate the means of a cultivator!" Lin Zi Yang sneered. He formed two spell incantations with his hands, reciting mnemonics, causing the Wind-controlling Sword in Chen Nan's hand to vibrate fiercely.

Chen Nan gripped the hilt tightly, trying to hold on, but the Wind-controlling Sword wouldn't heed, eventually slipping from his grasp, transforming into a white light, and flying back to Lin Zi Yang's side.

The treasure he had obtained was lost!

Chen Nan was anxious. Without the Wind-controlling Sword, there was no way to learn the secret to Tian Han Mountain from Yao Ye.

These dozens of elders, along with chief disciple Dan Tianming, were all Heavenly Passage Experts, while Palace Master Lin Zi Yang had even stepped into the Immortal Domain Realm. With his current strength, snatching the Wind-controlling Sword from their hands and breaking through with Yu Wenqingxue was practically impossible.

It was completely unfeasible.

Now, there seemed to be only one possible solution—use the Supreme Demon Artifact, the God Beating Whip!

Only this Supreme Demon Artifact could drastically boost his combat power in a short time, withstand their siege, and even snatch the Wind-controlling Sword!

Intense Demonic Qi churned in the air as Chen Nan opened his Storage Ring. A powerful and imposing aura spread, as if the Demon Lord had been reborn, with boundless demonic pressure stifling the air. A Nine-section Whip appeared in Chen Nan's hands.

As his devilish Inner Strength poured in, the aura emanating from the God Beating Whip grew ever stronger.
