School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1324: Purple Cloud Palace Headquarters

After leaving Xuanwu City, Chen Nan headed south.

After flying south for about five hundred miles, Chen Nan stopped. He knew that the Purple Cloud Palace was in the south but didn’t know the exact location. With a few hours left until daybreak, he couldn’t find anyone to ask for directions, so he sat down to rest on a tree.

Only after daybreak did Chen Nan enter a nearby small town.

After asking for the general direction to Purple Cloud Palace, Chen Nan set off again, looking for directions three more times and flying a thousand miles before finally arriving near Purple Cloud Palace.

The headquarters of this Taoist sect is naturally chosen amidst a spiritual energy-filled immortal mountain.

As soon as Chen Nan arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was blocked by disciples guarding the mountain gate.

”I’m Kuang Yun, here to visit Palace Master Lin Zi Yang of Purple Cloud Palace. Would you please pass on the message?” Chen Nan had already changed back to men’s attire, stepped forward, clasped his fists, and smiled.

Among the four disciples guarding the mountain gate, one asked, ”Kuang Yun? Are you from the Kuang Clan?”

”Indeed.” Chen Nan nodded.

The leading disciple among the four said, ”Since you are a friend from the Kuang Clan, there’s no need to pass on the message. Please follow me up the mountain.”

”Thank you.”

Chen Nan maintained a calm expression as he walked up the mountain with the leading disciple.

He thought to himself how the false identity of being from the Kuang Clan was very useful. Just mentioning the name was enough, and these people didn’t even consider questioning it thoroughly.

This mountain is named Purple Cloud Immortal Mountain, and after the sect was established on it, it was named Purple Cloud Palace.

On this mountain, immortal mist drifted around, and the spiritual energy was extremely abundant, worthy of the name ”immortal mountain.” Leading up the mountain was a five-meter wide stone staircase with a primitive texture.

With each step upward, the summit drew nearer and closer, and faintly heard celestial sounds surrounded his ears, seemingly able to cleanse the mind.

At the summit stands the Purple Night Hall.

This palace exudes a profound Daoist charm that truly resembles an Immortal Palace, majestic and majestic, completely unparalleled by any mortal world’s cultivation sects.

”Brother Kuang, please wait here for a moment.”

Entering a pavilion, this disciple invited Chen Nan to sit down before turning around to report the matter.

Sitting in the pavilion, Chen Nan surveyed his surroundings. There weren’t many people around, just a few disciples occasionally passing by. But in the distance, faint sounds of sparring could be heard, though not intense. He guessed it must be disciples practicing with each other.

Soon, a middle-aged man emerged from inside and walked over with a smile: ”I didn’t expect to have a friend from the Kuang Clan visiting. My apologies for not greeting you earlier in person.”

”I came uninvited, Senior Lin is too courteous.” Chen Nan stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

With a smile on his face, Lin Zi Yang scanned with his divine sense and immediately sensed Chen Nan’s powerful divine sense, indeed far surpassing his own realm, confirming him to be a Kuang Clan person.

He was secretly shocked as well; this Kuang Yun was only in his twenties and already possessed such cultivation, truly worthy of the Kuang Clan, a genius among geniuses. Looking at Purple Cloud Palace as a whole, it would be difficult to find a disciple with such aptitude.

”Brother Kuang’s arrival brings glory to our Purple Cloud Palace. Please come inside!” Lin Zi Yang gestured invitingly and then led the way in front.

Chen Nan followed calmly and quietly, maintaining composure as he walked further inside.

Passing through a cultivation field, Chen Nan saw hundreds of disciples practicing, some sitting in meditation, some sparring with their comrades.

”These are newly recruited outer disciples, their cultivation is shallow, excuse us for these manners.” Lin Zi Yang explained with a smile, but in reality, he was flaunting the assets of Purple Cloud Palace to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan maintained his composure.

All the practicing outer disciples turned their gaze towards them.

In their hearts, they wondered what identity this young man had that the palace master personally greeted him.

After arriving at the Immortal Palace where Lin Zi Yang lived, the two sat down.

The two chatted a bit, and Lin Zi Yang began probing subtly about Chen Nan’s purpose for coming. Chen Nan didn’t hide anything and said, ”To be honest, Junior has come to borrow something from Senior. Once used, it will be returned as scheduled.”

Lin Zi Yang frowned slightly and asked, ”You may speak freely, brother Kuang.”

He knew very well that anything the Kuang Clan asked to borrow was definitely considered a treasure.

Chen Nan said, ”The Wind-controlling Sword.”

”Ah...”

Lin Zi Yang hesitated immediately, smiled, and said, ”The Wind-controlling Sword is the treasure that secures our sect, which might not be convenient. Can it be replaced by another treasure?”

Chen Nan shook his head and smiled: ”Senior Lin, my Kuang Clan only borrows it briefly and will return it intact immediately after use, without causing any damage to the Immortal Sword. Please grant the Kuang Clan face, and a generous return will surely follow.”

Lin Zi Yang frowned deeply, pondered for a moment, and then said, ”This matter is significant, and Lin cannot make a decision on it. I need to discuss it with the elders before making a decision. Please stay at our Purple Cloud Palace for the night, and I assure you a response tomorrow.”

Chen Nan nodded and said, ”In that case, I will have to trouble Senior Lin.”

”No need to worry, our Purple Cloud Palace has always had a good relationship with the Kuang Clan, it’s my duty.”

Lin Zi Yang spoke politely, but in reality, Purple Cloud Palace had no substantial relationship with the Kuang Clan. The main reason was that the Kuang Clan was too powerful. He feared that outright refusal might provoke the Kuang Clan’s wrath.

After all, the name of the Kuang Clan is known throughout the Tao Realm of cultivation sects.

In terms of strength, even Purple Cloud Palace’s superior—Qian Yuan Holy Land, a first-level sect—dared not easily provoke them.

If the Kuang Clan were enraged and directly destroyed Purple Cloud Palace to seize the Wind-controlling Sword, even if Qian Yuan Holy Land wanted to demand an explanation, it would likely be futile and eventually acquiesce.

After all, though Qian Yuan Holy Land is powerful, it would not wage war with the even stronger Kuang Clan for the sake of Purple Cloud Palace.

Observing Lin Zi Yang’s expression, Chen Nan said, ”By the way, I have another personal matter to request.”

”If it’s something I can do, I will undoubtedly help without hesitation.”

”Years ago, while traveling, I received benefits from your sect’s disciple, Yu Wenqingxue. This time, aside from borrowing a sword, I wanted to properly thank her. I didn’t expect to hear on the way that she’s been imprisoned. If she has made any mistakes, please show mercy and forgive her offenses.”

Lin Zi Yang frowned once more.

He thought to himself, why are the matters this guy asks for all so troublesome?

Lin Zi Yang said, ”Brother Kuang may not know, but we have enough evidence to prove that Yu Wenqingxue colluded with enemies to poison our Purple Cloud Palace’s second elder. Such a rebellious person is beyond my ability to pardon. Even if I forgave her, our Purple Cloud Palace’s thousands of disciples would never spare her.”
