"Are you two travelers from out of town?" the waiter asked with a smile. "The news of Dao Sect's prodigy, Xuanyuan Yue, getting married has already spread across the land. Moreover, the Dao Sect is being very generous; they've booked out all the inns and restaurants!"
"Everyone can eat and stay without spending a single coin!"
Liu Yidao inquired, "When will the wedding ceremony take place?"
The waiter replied, "It is said that the wedding procession has already arrived in Bianjing City, and they will escort the Yan family's young lady to the Dao Sect for the wedding tomorrow!"
"Well, my esteemed guests, please wait a moment. I'll go arrange some food for you!"
Although the waiter had left,
Chen Nan's heart was still turbulent!
He hadn't expected Yan Wushuang to be getting married!
And it was tomorrow!
"Tell me about the Dao Sect, and about Dao Sect's prodigy, Xuanyuan Yue!" Chen Nan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with coldness!
When it came to relationships, he was an extremely possessive man!
One could also call him selfish!
He could not accept that the woman he loved was about to marry someone else!
Liu Yidao stated, "The Dao Sect is the foremost lineage in the thirteenth minor world. They occupy the Dragon's Nest and are said to have a million cultivators!"
"A million cultivators?"
This news truly shocked Chen Nan!
A million cultivators, what a terrifying number that was!
Let alone in this minor world, even if you looked at the entire Earth, you wouldn't find so many cultivators!
Liu Yidao continued, "I've heard of Xuanyuan Yue. He cultivated for over a hundred years and stepped into the late Nascent Soul stage! He is a genius rarely seen in a thousand years in our world!"
"Well, he is still far inferior to you, my lord!"
"I've heard that Xuanyuan Yue is exceptionally overbearing. If my guess is correct, Miss Yan must have been forced into this marriage!"
"There's a good saying in the mortal world: a woman protected by a lion would hardly fall in love with a dog."
This was not Liu Yidao deliberately speaking well of his master!
In his eyes, even if Xuanyuan Yue was outstanding!
Who could compare to Chen Nan?
Whether it was appearance!
Talent!
Or capability!
Chen Nan was a peerless prodigy comparable to ancient figures!
Not someone Xuanyuan Yue could match!
He believed that since Yan Wushuang had fallen for Chen Nan before, she wouldn't have fallen for Xuanyuan Yue now!
Liu Yidao's words brought Chen Nan some comfort. He said, "Help me find out about the Yan family and the inn where Xuanyuan Yue is staying!"
"Yes!"
Chen Nan didn't eat. He directly asked the waiter to get him a room!
Although eating and staying were free, the waiter still prepared an excellent room for Chen Nan!
After all, he had given them a spirit stone!
In the room!
Chen Nan sat down cross-legged!
The news of Yan Wushuang's wedding had ruined his appetite!
But the considerate waiter still delivered four small dishes and a pot of wine!
"You're thoughtful!"
Chen Nan casually tossed out a few spirit stones!
"Thank you, honored guest, thank you, honored guest!" The waiter was overwhelmed with gratitude!
Looking at the four small dishes and the pot of wine on the table!
Chen Nan's mind recalled the words his master, Wushan, had spoken: "Eat well!"
He simply sat at the table and ate alone, his previously anxious and restless mood somewhat relieved!
"If Wushuang is truly being forced to marry Xuanyuan Yue, with my current strength, I am no match for them!"
"It goes without saying that during Xuanyuan Yue's wedding, there must be super experts in the welcoming party!"
"With my current strength, even bringing out Liuli wouldn't help!"
He had used Liuli before, costing him twenty thousand spirit stones!
And now, although he could still command Liuli to strike down powerful enemies!
However, the Dao Sect gave him a great sense of oppression!
A million cultivators!
What a vast number!
If the Dao Sect didn't have terrifying foundations, they couldn't have so many disciples!
Although Liu Yidao analyzed that the Dao Sect's strongest expert was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, if he took that statement at face value, the cost would be heavy!
A sect capable of having a million disciples would not have a peak Nascent Soul stage expert as its backer!
Therefore!
If the Dao Sect had an Out-of-Body stage expert!
Even with Liuli, he wouldn't be able to defeat them!
"Liu Yidao said that the forbidden areas in this world have been developed into scenic spots!"
"He also said there are no divine talismans..."
"Could it be that divine talismans exist in this world in another form?"
"What exactly is the Dao Sect's Dragon's Nest?"
"Did it truly nurture true dragons?"
"If it's just a blessed land, it's unlikely to nurture a million cultivators, is it?"
In that instant, Chen Nan made many connections!
But none led to any clues!
"Golden Boy, on which floor of the Immortal Mansion are the books about divine talismans located?" Chen Nan sent a soul transmission to Golden Boy!
Golden Boy respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Mansion Lord, the records of divine talismans are located on the seventh floor of the Immortal Mansion!"
"Alright, forget I asked..."
The seventh floor was still a long way off for him!
After all, he had only just opened the third level of space!
Just as the pot of wine was nearly empty!
Liu Yidao returned!
"My lord, I have found out the situation!" Liu Yidao said, "Miss Yan does not wish to marry Xuanyuan Yue, but Xuanyuan Yue threatened Miss Yan with the lives of her entire Yan family!"
"Miss Yan had no choice but to agree to marry Xuanyuan Yue!"
Chen Nan's brows furrowed: "That can't be right. Wushuang has always lived in the mortal world, growing up with her master. She has no feelings for the Yan family, so why would she care about their lives?"
He knew Yan Wushuang's character!
She was brave to love and hate!
And they had also discussed finding her family!
But Yan Wushuang had refused, her tone at the time revealing undisguised hatred!
He found it hard to imagine why she would marry someone she disliked for the sake of the Yan family now!
Liu Yidao sighed, "Perhaps there is someone in the Yan family whom she cares about!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly. People are emotional, especially someone like Yan Wushuang, who lacked affection from family. It wouldn't be surprising if, after living with the Yan family for almost a year, she had come to care for someone there!
Changing the subject, Chen Nan asked, "Where is Xuanyuan Yue now?"
Liu Yidao replied, "Xuanyuan Yue is currently staying at the Fengming Tower. He will go to the Yan family to pick up the bride tomorrow morning and then return to the Dao Sect!"
Seeing Chen Nan lost in thought!
Liu Yidao continued, "My lord, I heard that the Dao Sect has sent hundreds of cultivators this time, with only a small portion being Golden Core stage cultivators, and a large majority being Nascent Soul stage experts!"
"There are even more than ten peak Nascent Soul stage experts!"
"Some of them are personally protecting Xuanyuan Yue, and some are even secretly monitoring the Yan family to prevent Miss Yan from eloping!"
"My lord, please do not act rashly!"
Chen Nan tapped his forehead with his finger and grinned, "Remember, one must use their brain for everything. What's the difference between relying purely on fists and being a brute?"
Liu Yidao's heart rejoiced, "Do you have a plan, my lord?"
Chen Nan stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the brightly lit Bianjing City, and let out a sigh, "I once swore that in this life, I would only marry Wan'er, but now, I have no choice!"
With that, his figure suddenly vanished from his spot!
He had retreated into the Immortal Mansion!
He intended to kill Xuanyuan Yue, take his place, and then marry Yan Wushuang!
