Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

At this moment, there was a hint of sarcasm and mockery in the boy's laughter, as if he felt that he had talked enough and stopped responding for the time being.

Yan Yun stayed in the living room for a while, and finally walked out of this VIP place slowly. He looked intently at the quaint attic not far away, with a slightly frown on his face, as if he had many doubts in his mind.

When Han Yunzhi mentioned about Dong Xuaner's visit, Yan Yun couldn't help but feel confused, wondering what her intention was.

Although people are often attracted by Dong Xuaner's charming appearance, Yan Yun has no good feelings towards this woman.

Yan Yun still had other doubts in his mind.

I once learned from a traitor of the Hehuan Sect that after Dong Xuaner successfully formed a golden elixir, she ordered all major sects to search for her whereabouts.

Why is this happening? Yan Yun looked at the attic with a flickering look in his eyes, and finally decided to go and find out.

When he stepped into the attic, he saw two beautiful women standing there quietly.

One of the women in yellow had a beautiful face, like a beautiful girl from a small family; the other woman in white had a pretty face, but a hint of fatigue. Yan Yun's arrival made them turn around at the same time.

"It is beyond my expectation that the two Taoist friends are gathering here. However, I have known you for many years, and I am filled with emotion to see you again today."

Yan Yun walked forward slowly and spoke appropriately.

"Brother Yan, oh no, Senior Yan, Yunzhi's visit this time should not have caused any trouble to you, Senior."

The woman in yellow was shocked and her voice was trembling.

Dong Xuan'er, who was wearing a white gown, had her rouge-painted lips trembling slightly. Although she didn't make any sound in the end, the complex expression on her face made people feel elusive.

Sometimes it is full of excitement and joy, and sometimes it seems strange and angry, which is incomprehensible.

"It is my great honor that Miss Han can visit my humble home. How dare I say that I am disturbing you? Besides, you don't need to call me senior. You can just call me Brother Yan."

"It seems that your aura has entered the middle stage of Jindan. I believe you will be able to break through to the late stage soon."

Yan Yun said with a smile.

Hearing Yan Yun's words, two blushes immediately appeared on the yellow-clothed woman's cheeks, and then she nodded happily.

"I came here this time to express my gratitude to Brother Yan for showing mercy to me twice."

"If not for this, I would have been killed by others and would not have had a chance to survive."

Han Yunzhi whispered with tears of gratitude.

"So you have recovered your memory of the Bloody Trial, and understand that all the changes that happened to the Kingdom of Yue were caused by me."

Yan Yun was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

"Not long ago, I had the honor of meeting Senior Sister Liu Yu, and she told me in detail what happened back then. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to come and visit Brother Yan."

A faint smile appeared on Han Yunzhi's lips.

It's strange to say, although Yan Yun regards this woman as his own sister, Han Yunzhi seems to have the same feeling towards Yan Yun.

After just a few words, he forgot Yan Yun's current status and position, and talked and joked with him in a friendly manner.

As the conversation deepened, Yan Yun and the girl actually began to recall many past events in the Tainan meeting and the Bloody Trial, and lamented the changes in the world.

Who could have imagined that two or three hundred years later, they would be in the situation they are in today!

At that time, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage were considered unattainable in their eyes.

"By the way, I met this sister Dong at the ceremony. I heard that she was once a fellow disciple of Brother Yan. She came to find Brother Yan this time because she had something to ask of him."

Han Yunzhi suddenly remembered something, turned to Dong Xuan'er and smiled sweetly, then said this to Yan Yun.

"Indeed, Fairy Dong and I once practiced together in the Yellow Maple Valley for many years, but it has been a long time since we last met, and Fellow Daoist Dong's cultivation does not seem to have improved at all, and still remains at the original level."

After listening to Han Yunzhi's words, Yan Yun glanced at Dong Xuaner with a dull tone.

"You are the culprit that has prevented me from making further progress!"

Dong Xuaner's expression changed from bright to dark. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and complained loudly to Yan Yun with an angry face.

Yan Yun stood there in confusion.

Han Yunzhi opened her eyes wide, looking quite confused.

"Fairy Dong, please forgive me for not understanding the meaning of your words. Why do you blame me for your failure in cultivation?"

Yan Yun came back to his senses, looked dissatisfied, and questioned in a serious tone.

"If you hadn't become the nightmare in my heart, I wouldn't have fallen into a bottleneck and lingered in the middle stage for a long time, unable to extricate myself."

Dong Xuan'er instantly forgot the difference in status between her and Yan Yun, and accused him angrily, as if her heart was filled with endless grievances.

"Nightmare..." Yan Yun repeated the word in a low voice, with a look of confusion on his face.

"In my early years, when I was still studying in Yanjiabao, I unfortunately fell into the hands of Tian Buque. I suffered humiliation and was forcibly taken back to the Hehuan Sect. I finally learned my true identity."

"It turns out that I am the direct descendant of the old demon Yunlu from the Hehuan Sect. However, due to some unexpected circumstances, I finally chose to join the Yellow Maple Valley for cultivation."

"Before I was born, the old demon Yunlu personally planted a mysterious secret technique in me. The secret technique is called 'Yimeng Jue'. As long as I practice spells related to charm, I can easily achieve it with remarkable results."

"However, the most difficult and easiest part of this technique is the inner demon stage."

"If it's simple, there may be no obstacles, and it's as easy as eating and drinking. If it's difficult, you may be trapped in the inner demons for life, and it will be difficult to make any progress in your cultivation."

"There are even some people whose inner demons are too strong, and their cultivation will regress."

Dong Xuaner spoke with resentment.

"Even so, why would I become your inner demon? I haven't had much contact with Fellow Daoist Dong." Yan Yun asked with a puzzled look on his face after pondering for a moment.

"How could I know these things! Ever since I successfully formed the elixir, you have frequently appeared in the form of an inner demon during my cultivation."

"Although I relied on some external forces and barely broke through the early stage of Jindan, when I entered the middle stage, I was no longer able to cope with it. The only way to improve my cultivation was to defeat the inner demon."

"I once asked the old demon Yunlu about my ancestor. He told me that the main reason why you became my inner demon is that you practiced a special technique that made you immune to my charm."

"Then, when your charm technique backfired on me in Tian Buque's hands, it left such a deep impression on you that you became my inner demon." Dong Xuan'er explained with lingering fear. Yan Yun was extremely shocked by this.

Han Yunzhi was also amazed when she heard this.

"It is said that not long after you succeeded in forming the elixir, you sent your disciples to look for me. If they really found you, how would Fellow Daoist Dong deal with this inner demon?"

After a slight adjustment, Yan Yun narrowed his eyes and asked solemnly.

"How to deal with the inner demon? It's nothing more than relying on your own firm will to face it, or directly eliminating the person who represents the inner demon, or neutralizing its influence."

“At the time, I was more inclined to take the latter approach.”

Dong Xuaner's face was slightly pale, and when she said the last sentence, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, making the woman look extremely beautiful in an instant.

Yan Yun frowned when he heard her mention the need to eliminate the inner demon, but after hearing her finish her story, his face revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then he remembered something, making his face full of embarrassment.

"I already know why you came here. It seems that you hope that I can use the secret technique of telepathy to help you get out of this difficult period of inner demons."

Yan Yun said quietly.

"That's true. When I first met you during the invasion by the Mulan people, I wanted to ask you to help me resolve the crisis."

"Unfortunately, you had already entered the Nascent Soul stage by then. I hesitated for a moment and missed that precious opportunity."

Dong Xuaner admitted frankly.

"Friend Dong has such faith, I will do my best to help you overcome the difficulties." Yan Yun asked with a smile on his face.

"Now that you are the leading immortal cultivator in the Tiannan region, I am really not sure whether you are willing to lend a hand to a mere Jindan-stage cultivator like me."

"However, if I want to reach the Nascent Soul stage within my limited life, I'm afraid this is the only way left. I have no choice but to take a risk."

Dong Xuaner's eyes revealed deep melancholy.

"Although we had an unpleasant experience, we were brothers in the same school after all."

"Since your inner demon originated from me, helping you to overcome it is nothing more than a piece of cake for me now. I am willing to help you once."

Yan Yun said in a calm tone.

"really?"

Dong Xuaner's joy was beyond words.

"Helping you overcome the shackles in your heart is insignificant to me now. Why would I want to utter a single word of falsehood? However, once this matter is resolved, there will be no connection between me and the noble fairy."

"Fellow Daoist, please take care of yourself."

There was a different light flashing in Yan Yun's eyes, and he spoke slowly and solemnly.

"If Daoist Fellow Yan is willing to lend a helping hand, Dong Xuan'er will be so grateful that she will shed tears. She will never have any more delusions!"

Dong Xuaner's face turned pale as paper in an instant. After a moment's silence, she responded expressionlessly.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, you can rest here for three days. I will come here again in three days to help you overcome your inner demons."

Yan Yun said this with a very calm expression.

Dong Xuan'er nodded indifferently and said nothing more.

Next, Yan Yun had a brief conversation with Han Yunzhi and invited the beautiful woman to stay in Luoyun Sect for a few more days so that she could enjoy the beautiful scenery. Then he said goodbye and left the attic.

Five days later, Dong Xuan'er and Han Yunzhi left Luoyun Sect one after another and returned to Yuling Sect and Hehuan Sect respectively.

At this moment, Dong Xuan'er, with Yan Yun's selfless help, finally succeeded in defeating her inner demons, and foresaw that she would have no obstacles in the later stage of her cultivation of the Jindan stage. In addition to receiving several precious instruments and several bottles of elixirs from Yan Yun, Han Yunzhi also received a sincere handwritten letter from Yan Yun to the Grand Elder of the Yuling Sect.

When Yan Yun arrived, the expert matchmaker Nangong Wan waited in front of his cave with joy. When she saw Yan Yun's light falling steadily, she said in a gentle tone:

"Could it be that Sister Yunzhi has already left? In fact, you could have let her stay for a few more days."

"That's not necessary. These few days of companionship and reunion are enough to resolve all the knots I have for Yunzhi." Yan Yun smiled slightly and shook his head gently.

"By the way, I just learned the news about your other confidante. The woman named Zi Ling successfully condensed her Nascent Soul several years ago, and is now training and practicing in the Great Jin Kingdom. You may not be able to see her again in the short term." Nangong Wan revealed with a half-smile.

"With Zi Ling's excellent aptitude, it is not difficult for her to condense her Nascent Soul. As for where she is now, it doesn't matter much."

"If we are destined to meet, we will meet again. In a few days, a large batch of refining materials that I need will be delivered. Then I will decide to practice in seclusion and strive to reach the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage."

"After that, I will practice the Great Evolution Technique seriously, and finally I will merge the five kinds of extreme cold flames with the Five Concentric Demons into one."

Yan Yun smiled at his beloved wife and explained slowly and calmly.

"That's great! I also look forward to reaching the late Nascent Soul stage. I hope we can make progress together and strive to achieve our results when my husband and I come out of retreat together."

Nangong Wan covered her lips lightly, her smile as beautiful as a flower, her eyes and eyebrows full of charming and seductive charm.

"Haha, I really hope it will be as Wan'er wishes. But during this period of time, why don't you accompany me in person to spend a good time together."

A mysterious smile appeared on Yan Yun's lips. His eyes were full of desire as he greedily swept over Xiao Hongniang's plump and exquisite figure.

"Bah! When did you become so shameless!"

Nangong Wan's face turned red when she heard this, and she gently scolded Yan Yun, but her face was filled with a complex expression of joy and anger, and her eyes were shining.

"How shameless! This is the first time someone has described me in this way since I was born into this world."

"Perhaps in my life, I can only show this side of me in front of you!"

Yan Yun laughed loudly towards the sky. Although his laughter was deafening and its echo could be vaguely heard even on several nearby hilltops, his heart was filled with endless loneliness and desolation.

In one of Zifeng's caves, a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old was holding a jade slip tightly in her hand, reading it with full concentration.

At this moment, Yan Yun's unrestrained laughter reached her ears. She couldn't help but look up and listened for a moment.

Suddenly, she smiled softly, her face showing the joy in her heart. (End of this chapter)
