After being rescued by Chu Nan, they joined the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect. After all, he was the Mansion Master of the Cyan Profound Province and was closer to the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect than to the Spirit Corpse Sect.

The father and daughter were in the middle of their cultivation when the tremor of the grand hall awakened them.

"Sect Leader Chen, from what I observed, it seems like the people from the Infinite Sword Sect are attacking the array. This incident has already alerted the Spirit Corpse Sect, and it's likely that powerful reinforcements will arrive soon!" Lin Haoyang said anxiously.

Upon hearing that reinforcements from the Spirit Corpse Sect were imminent, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yian saw Zheng Yao, walked over slowly, and patted her shoulder to reassure her.

Chen Kaiyang also spoke in a deep voice to calm everyone, "Everyone, rest assured. Elders from the nearby Spirit Corpse Sect will arrive shortly. Moreover, the Sect Protection Array of the Spirit Corpse Sect will protect us, so the Sect Alliance won't be able to break through in a short time!"

Hearing these words, everyone finally felt at ease. After all, the Spirit Corpse Sect was one of the strongest Sects in the Qin Kingdom, and their Sect Protection Array wasn't easy to penetrate.

"Rely on the Spirit Corpse Sect? They won't make it in time to save you!" At that moment, a cold voice came from outside the hall.

The expressions of Lin Haoyang and Chen Kaiyang suddenly changed dramatically, their brows furrowing with visible worry in their eyes.

Everyone's gaze turned simultaneously towards the outside of the hall, and they all felt an overwhelming and suffocating force approaching.

"Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist!"

Feng Luo entered the grand hall with a group of Sect Elders, the oppressive aura of the Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists rushing in like a tidal wave.

Some with weaker minds and lower cultivation directly collapsed to the ground, their knees trembling uncontrollably.

Even Lin Haoyang's heart was pounding. His family had once been destroyed by a Strong Race from the Cloud Sea Realm, and he knew better than anyone the terrifying power of Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists.

Lin Yian and Zheng Yao clenched their hands tightly, their eyes full of worry.

Ruan Chen soon spotted Lin Yian and Zheng Yao, his lips curling into a lewd smile as he said, "What beautiful women! Sect Leader Feng, you can take the others to report back, why not leave them to me?"

Ruan Chen made no effort to hide his greed, his heart always yearning for beauty.

Feng Luo glanced around, feeling somewhat displeased, but agreed nonetheless, "Time waits for no one. Capture them all first, and you can negotiate for whoever you want outside!"

They were able to create an opening in the Spirit Corpse Sect's Sect Protection Array at a great cost to Feng Luo.

With the expert from the Spirit Corpse Sect likely to appear at any moment, everyone knew they had little time left.

So, under Feng Luo's orders, everyone charged out, spiritual power transforming into invisible hands to seize the crowd.

Ruan Chen laughed heartily, saying, "Two little beauties, follow me back to the sect, and I'll treat you well~"

Just as Ruan Chen was about to make a move on Lin Yian and Zheng Yao, a towering figure suddenly stood between them.

Boom!

Ruan Chen felt as if his palm struck steel, causing him to frown involuntarily.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a Cloud Sea Realm Puppet!

Chen Kaiyang's face was somber, but he secretly sighed in relief.

This Bronze Puppet was left by Chu Nan to protect the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect. When fully unleashed, it possessed the power of the Cloud Sea Realm, and it finally proved useful now.

Lin Yian and Zheng Yao both sighed in relief at the appearance of the Bronze Puppet.

Ruan Chen looked surprised, and even Feng Luo remarked incredulously, "You actually have a Cloud Sea Realm Puppet, truly astonishing."

The Bronze Puppet, fearless and relentless, wielded eight different Spirit Martial weapons, wildly attacking Ruan Chen.

Lin Yian comforted the anxious Zheng Yao, saying, "This puppet also has Cloud Sea Realm strength, it will hold until the Spirit Corpse Sect Martial Artists arrive."

Just as Lin Yian finished speaking, they heard a thunderous explosion.

Under everyone's shocked and terrified gaze, Ruan Chen casually swung his palm.

The Bronze Puppet shattered like scrap iron, its shattered body scattering everywhere, leaving hideous cracks throughout the hall.

Ruan Chen, with a face full of rage, sneered, "I am at the fourth level of the Cloud Sea Realm; this puppet is nothing more than an ant to me!"

"Hahaha!" Ruan Chen sneered as he reached for Lin Yian and Zheng Yao.

Lin Haoyang shouted in worry, "Bastard, let go of my daughter!"

Yet, he was in no position to help, as Feng Luo grabbed him like a chicken, and no amount of struggling made any difference.

All the elders of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, including Jiang Yixing, were subdued, and despite Jiang Yixing's unwillingness, he was powerless in the face of absolute strength.

"Little beauty, obediently come with me and become my furnace!" Ruan Chen sneered coldly.

"Chu Nan won't let you get away with this when he returns!" Lin Yian threatened.

Ruan Chen sneered, "If he returns, it would be exactly what I want, hahaha!"

Just as he was about to seize Lin Yian and Zheng Yao, his body suddenly froze, and then Ruan Chen quickly dodged.

Lin Yian and Zheng Yao were momentarily stunned, a dazzling sword light streaked through the air.

Though Ruan Chen had dodged swiftly, his speed was a split-second slower than the sword light!

The black and white sword light flashed, and blood blossomed in the air.

An awe-inspiring, terrifying wound appeared on Ruan Chen's back, and from a distance, he growled in anger, "Who is it!"

Heavy footsteps approached from outside the hall, and everyone turned towards the sound, spotting a black silhouette gradually coming into focus.

As the sunlight spilled in, a determined young man dressed in black, holding a black and white longsword, stepped in slowly.

The moment he appeared, a sense of relief appeared on the faces of everyone from the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, as if no difficulty was insurmountable as long as he was there.

Lin Yian and Zheng Yao were overcome with joy and tears, knowing their lives were about to plunge into despair, yet the one who could shatter all darkness appeared in time once more.

"Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's true inheritor, Spirit Corpse Sect's Young Sect Leader, Chu Nan!"

Chu Nan's expression was indifferent. He had been brought here by Feng Wuling, but he was still a few moments late; the Sect Alliance had already taken action.

Sect Alliance's Martial Artists all turned towards Chu Nan, and Feng Luo was astonished, "So you're Chu Nan!"

After the surprise came elation, Feng Luo knew that the ultimate goal of this joint effort from the Strong Clan Huo Family and other sects targeting the Spirit Corpse Sect wasn't the opportunity gained from the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm.

Ultimately, it was all because of Chu Nan.

He seemed to harbor a secret even unknown to himself, which was why the Huo Family wanted to capture Chu Nan alive using this trick!

Ruan Chen touched his wound, a sinister look appearing on his face as he said, "So it's you, Chu Nan. We were just looking for you, and you delivered yourself to us."

"Now you're a fish in a barrel, and no one can save you!"

Although Chu Nan had a record of slaying a Cloud Sea Realm second-level, Ruan Chen remained unafraid, as he was at the fourth level of the Cloud Sea Realm.

Outside the Imperial Capital, the fourth level of the Cloud Sea Realm was considered a supreme power.

"Is that so? I'll have to try and see." Chu Nan said lightly, though a faint killing intent wafted from him.

Chu Nan had no intention of sparing any of these people. He couldn't even bear to think what would have happened if he had arrived a moment later.
