After Yu Chen put on the necklace that Ning Yan had given him, he used his spiritual power and realized that the starlight of the Talent Tree was indeed not displayed.

It turned out to be quite useful after all.

When Ning Yan heard Yu Chen’s question, she immediately said in disbelief, “Me? Offended him?”

“We’ve only met a few times at most. I’m not a fool who would go around making enemies. How could I offend him?”

Yu Chen was puzzled. Then why would Wang Yun send someone to assassinate her?

Ning Yan analyzed again, “Could it be because of the clan?”

“Our Ning clan and the Wang clan control a kingdom together. Only the heads of the two clans know about my trip this time. So the Wang clan wants to kill me and make their people the king?”

Yu Chen immediately knew that this was a matter between the two families. It was just that Ning Yan had become a sacrifice.

Ning Yan said, “That shouldn’t be the case. I came back to the sect this time mainly to discuss the marriage alliance with the Saint, Wang Yun. He should know about this.”

“So why would he want to kill me?”

“Oh?” Yu Chen was interested. “A marriage alliance? With whom?”

Ning Yan paused and asked carefully, “Me?”

Yu Chen suddenly looked at Ning Yan and smiled. “In that case, you’re Wang Yun’s fiancée?”

As he spoke, Yu Chen’s heart began to tremble.

However, Ning Yan interrupted him.

Seeing that Yu Chen was about to act upon the matter, Ning Yan immediately said, “Senior, don’t be rash.”

“First, I’m not the Saint’s fiancée yet. Second, he just tried to assassinate me. Do you think you can use me to threaten the Saint?”

After hearing that, Yu Chen felt disinterested.

He turned and walked away, as if he didn’t want to stay any longer.

Ning Yan panicked when she saw this. She hurriedly followed and asked for help, “Senior, help!”

“Help?” Yu Chen looked around.

Yes, it was peaceful and the weather was sunny.

What’s there to save?

There wasn’t even a snake around, let alone assassins.

Ning Yan continued chattering. “Things are a little complicated. I’ll make it short.”

“First, I defeated Wang Yun, the current Saint, in a competition ten years ago. That’s how I became king.”

“Secondly, Wang Yun later became the Saint. Our two clans wanted to use him and me to firmly bind the two clans together.”

“But now, the Wang clan has gone back on their word and asked Wang Yun to kill me so that Wang Yun or the Wang clan can control the kingdom.”

“In other words, I’m in grave danger.”

“So, Senior, save me!”

Yu Chen thought for a moment and asked, “What can I gain from saving you?”

After being asked so straightforwardly, Ning Yan couldn’t think of an answer for a moment.

She racked her brains for a long time but could not think of anything that would tempt Yu Chen.

The position of king?

Sorry, that belonged to the family, not to her.

After thinking about it, she seemed to have nothing except the storage ring on her hand.

For a moment, Ning Yan was in despair.

Fortunately, Yu Chen quickly changed his mind.

Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan’s exquisite face and rubbed his chin. “I came out this time to cause trouble for Wang Yun.”

“Wang Yun wants to kill you, but I just won’t let him kill you. Wouldn’t that make him very angry?”

Ning Yan cheered up after hearing that and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, Senior is right.”

“As long as Senior sends me back to my clan, my clan will definitely not mistreat you.”

Yu Chen nodded. “Okay, then follow me first.”

With that, Yu Chen headed towards the Hunyuan Sect.

This made Ning Yan extremely anxious. She hurriedly said, “Senior, Hunyuan Sect is Wang Yun’s territory. My house is in the opposite direction!”

Yu Chen said disdainfully, “Although Wang Yun is strong, the Hunyuan Sect is not his territory.”

Ning Yan thought that what Yu Chen said made sense.

The Hunyuan Sect was so big. Wang Yun couldn’t possibly be in control of everything there, right?

Besides, this genius in front of him was a ruthless person with two top-grade talents.

Moreover, he was also from the Hunyuan Sect. Could he be the legendary Immortal?

Just like that, the two of them began to advance towards the Hunyuan Sect.

On the way, Ning Yan asked Yu Chen curiously, “Senior, do you have any conflict with Wang Yun?”

Yu Chen only said vaguely, “Yes, and it’s a big conflict.”

Ning Yan’s expression changed when she heard this. She couldn’t help but ask, “No way? Senior is so approachable, and Wang Yun is an honest child. How can there be friction between the two of you?”

Yu Chen sure acted like he was indeed very approachable.

It had to be known that some second realm cultivators were arrogant and looked down on first realm cultivators. They were extremely snobby and disgusting.

Yu Chen sneered. “An honest child? Hehe…”

Ning Yan was puzzled. “That’s right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to the marriage that was decided by the clan.”

“He must have obeyed his clan’s orders to attack me this time…”

Ning Yan and Wang Yun had met a few times when they were young.

This was why Ning Yan had an impression of Wang Yun. Later on, the two of them joined the Hunyuan Sect together.

Later on, even after Wang Yun became the Saint, he was still extremely refined and easygoing.

In addition, Wang Yun was quite handsome, so Ning Yan did not dislike this guy.

Yu Chen looked at Ning Yan’s innocent appearance and couldn’t help but smile. “I’m curious what your expression will be when you see Wang Yun’s true character.”

“Senior, in that case… could it be possible that Wang Yun…” Ning Yan was deeply puzzled.

Sensing another possibility, Ning Yan was not in a good mood.

Fortunately, she was not engaged to Wang Yun yet. It was still possible to turn back.

“By the way, Senior, my name is Ning Yan. I’m Ning Yan from the Ning clan. What about you?”

Ning Yan suddenly changed the topic.

Come to think about it, it had been quite a while, but neither party knew the other’s name.

“Ning Yan?” Yu Chen thought for a moment. “I’m Chen Yu.”

…

The moment Yu Chen entered the Hunyuan Sect, he was discovered by a super mighty figure.

In the Xuanming Mountain Range, in the center of a huge Spirit Gathering Array, Grand Elder Feng Yuan of the Hunyuan Sect suddenly opened his eyes.

He opened his mouth and spoke softly,

“Oh? An avatar?”

“Allow me to deduce…”

“It’s impossible to determine his true identity, but—”

“His bone age is less than 20 years old, he’s at the second realm level ten, but his strength has reached third realm level seven.”

“The Talent Tree… can’t be deduced.”

“Such a genius actually sent his avatar to the Hunyuan Sect?”

“What’s even stranger is that he cultivates the Primordial Chaos Art. So who is he?”

“Such a powerful demon-level genius would have since long been named a Saint in the Hunyuan Sect.”

“Interesting little fellow. I want to see what you’re going to do.”

…

He entered the Hunyuan Sect.

Yu Chen said to Ning Yan, “If you want to see Wang Yun’s true character, you can’t appear in front of him with your true appearance.”

Ning Yan’s mood was a little off. She lowered her head and buried her exquisite face like an ostrich.

Ning Yan said softly, “I will go along with whatever Senior has planned.”

Yu Chen had an expression as if he was teaching a young child. He said, “In that case, put on some makeup first and pretend to be my junior sister. I’ll bring you to acknowledge the ancestors.”

Ning Yan was puzzled. “Acknowledge the ancestors?”

Yu Chen said, “That’s right. I’m the disciple of the Hunyuan Sect’s Saintess, Gongsun Yue. This is my first time returning to the sect.”
