Chen Nan had mastered the art of disguise!
He could have easily killed Xuanyuan Yue, taken his place, infiltrated the Dao Sect, and married Yan Wushuang!
But!
Xuanyuan Yue was a late-stage Nascent Soul realm expert!
While he was merely a humble Golden Core...
Although his appearance could be altered!
His cultivation realm was vastly different.
If anyone were to probe his aura, they would be able to discern his true identity!
However!
Chen Nan was not afraid!
The Immortal Abode contained numerous inheritances.
Among them were methods to conceal one's aura and even cultivation realm.
The prerequisite was to avoid direct combat!
Otherwise, he would surely be exposed!
------
The Phoenix Cry Tower was the tallest establishment in the entire Bianjing City!
Nine stories high!
From the top floor, one could survey the entirety of Bianjing City!
As he approached the Phoenix Cry Tower, Chen Nan clearly sensed the presence of numerous powerful individuals.
Golden Core cultivators were mere foot soldiers!
Nascent Soul cultivators were as common as dogs!
Especially the auras of the four peak Nascent Soul realm experts, which were all too familiar to him.
In a room on the top floor!
Xuanyuan Yue stood quietly by the window!
He stood eight feet tall!
Dressed in a red wedding robe!
Embroidered with golden dragons that appeared lifelike!
Behind him stood four elders!
Without exception, they were all peak Nascent Soul realm experts!
To be fair, the experts from the Thirteenth Small World vastly surpassed those of the Ninth Small World.
Xuanyuan Yue turned to an elder with a goatee: "Senior Shu Geng, is everything alright with the Yan family?"
Shu Geng replied: "Replying to Young Master Xuanyuan, the Yan family is under our surveillance, and no accidents will occur. We can guarantee the wedding will proceed as scheduled tomorrow!"
Xuanyuan Yue nodded slightly!
He had chanced upon Yan Wushuang a year ago!
At that time, she was wearing a black cheongsam with a high slit!
The first time he saw her, he felt as if he had seen a celestial being!
He had disguised himself as an ordinary person and approached her, but he failed to win Yan Wushuang's favor!
She had even told him to get lost...
At that moment, Xuanyuan Yue had fallen in love with her!
Because in all his years, no one had ever dared to tell him to get lost!
Afterward, he revealed his identity as a prodigy of the Dao Sect!
At that time, the emperor of this country had approached him and respectfully bowed to him!
It was a truly impressive display!
He thought Yan Wushuang would look at him with new eyes and change her attitude.
But he never expected her to tell him to get lost again.
Xuanyuan Yue was immediately enraged!
He was determined to make Yan Wushuang marry him!
Otherwise, he would spill the Yan family's blood!
And so!
Yan Wushuang chose to compromise!
This led to the joyous occasion of the marriage alliance between the Yan family and the Dao Sect!
"Young Master Xuanyuan, why do you seem so worried?" Shu Geng asked cautiously!
Xuanyuan Yue shook his head: "I am about to embrace my beloved tomorrow, yet I have an ominous feeling in my heart! It feels as though something major is about to happen!"
Shu Geng chuckled: "Young Master Xuanyuan is overthinking things. With so many of us guarding this place, not even a fly can get in, so how could anything happen?"
The other three peak Nascent Soul realm experts also chuckled!
The Dao Sect was already the foremost sect in the world, let alone with so many experts deployed simultaneously!
Xuanyuan Yue forced a smile: "You may all go and rest. If anything arises, I will send word."
"Yes!"
The four peak Nascent Soul realm experts turned and departed!
The moment they left!
Xuanyuan Yue suddenly looked towards the bed. He felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows!
This gave him an inexplicable sense of danger!
As a peak seventh-level Nascent Soul realm expert!
He had never felt such a sensation before!
It almost made him cry out for help on the spot!
But when he looked, he found nothing on the bed!
"Am I just too nervous?" Xuanyuan Yue sighed softly!
"Once I marry Yan Wushuang, I will take her to the mortal world and find that fellow named Chen Nan. I will kill Chen Nan in front of her and extinguish her hopes."
A cold glint flashed in Xuanyuan Yue's eyes!
He had inquired and learned that Yan Wushuang had a man in the mortal world.
Therefore, he intended to kill Chen Nan to make Yan Wushuang completely give up!
"Why would you bother killing me?"
Without any warning, a cold voice entered Xuanyuan Yue's ears!
It was like a bolt from the blue, making his scalp tingle!
That ominous feeling intensified!
Just as he was about to cry for help, Liuli appeared behind him and knocked him unconscious with a single blow!
Following that, Chen Nan collected Xuanyuan Yue into the third level of the Immortal Abode!
Here, ten years passed for every day in the outside world.
He had ample time to interrogate Xuanyuan Yue!
Xuanyuan Yue groggily opened his eyes, filled with trepidation: "Where am I? Who are you?"
Chen Nan grinned: "My name is Chen Nan! The man Yan Wushuang has in the mortal world!"
"It's you?" Xuanyuan Yue roared in anger: "I was just thinking of marrying Yan Wushuang and then coming to kill you. I didn't expect you to deliver yourself! Since that's the case, I shall kill you!"
Whoosh!
Instantly, a flying sword shot out from within his body!
Chen Nan suddenly extended his right hand and blocked the opponent's long sword with his finger!
"Impossible, impossible! How can you, a mere ant at the Golden Core realm, withstand my attack?" Xuanyuan Yue shrieked in disbelief, "Senior Shu Geng, save me..."
Chen Nan rolled his eyes, disappointment filling his gaze: "I thought you were a true prodigy, but it seems you are merely a flower grown in a greenhouse!"
Calling for help when outmatched was unbecoming of a strong individual!
Especially since this fellow was a prodigy of the Dao Sect!
And possessed peak seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivation!
It was... quite disappointing!
"Why can't I feel Senior Shu Geng's aura? What kind of place is this?" Xuanyuan Yue roared in exasperation!
Chen Nan smiled faintly: "This is my Immortal Abode. Here, you cannot sense anyone's aura!"
Xuanyuan Yue's face darkened: "Chen, what exactly do you want to do? Do you know the consequences of opposing me? Let me tell you, it's your past life's good fortune that I fancy Yan Wushuang. Not everyone is qualified to be cuckolded by me!"
Slap!
Chen Nan slapped him, sending him flying several meters and spitting blood. He then stomped on him, his eyes ferocious: "Do you think I dare not oppose you?"
"Have you underestimated me too much?"
"Not only do I intend to oppose you!"
"I even intend to kill you and take your place as a prodigy of the Dao Sect!"
As he spoke, he stomped on Xuanyuan Yue's chest, crushing it!
He spewed out crimson blood and torn flesh, appearing incredibly pathetic!
But this was not the most terrifying part!
The most terrifying was that Xuanyuan Yue's wedding robe appeared on Chen Nan's body!
And Chen Nan's appearance had transformed into Xuanyuan Yue's!
He looked exactly like him!
Xuanyuan Yue felt despair and let out a heart-wrenching roar: "Even if you are skilled in disguise, you will be discovered once you reach the Dao Sect! You will reveal your flaws!"
Chen Nan paused, then nodded slightly: "You have a point. After all, our personalities are different, and this might indeed expose me."
"But what if, I perform a soul-searching technique and view your memories? Then no one will be able to discover my true identity?"
With that, he formed hand seals, and his soul forcefully entered Xuanyuan Yue's sea of consciousness!
