As night deepened, the clouds above Kunming Pool were dispersed by a gentle breeze, revealing a sky full of stars and a nearly full moon. The moonlight, like mercury spilling onto the ground, enveloped the entire mountaintop city in a hazy, clear glow.

The lights were off in Lu Nanxi's room on the second floor of Qiyun Courtyard.

She was not asleep; she was only dressed in a plain gauze nightgown and stood by the window.

The nightgown was made of a light, misty material, barely concealing the graceful curves beneath. Moonlight streamed through the window lattice, illuminating her slender waist and rounded hips, while the full curves of her breasts were faintly visible beneath the sheer fabric.

Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist, a few strands brushing against the night breeze and clinging to her smooth, jade-like neck and collarbone.

During this period, because Ancestor Yuyang was always present, she didn't have time to cultivate with Wu Tian. Although it was only a few days, she found it somewhat difficult to endure.

Sometimes I can't help feeling a bit hot...

"That damn stinky man..."

She felt like she was bewitched; without him holding her, she always found it hard to fall asleep...

At the same moment, Wu Tian was sitting cross-legged on the couch in his room, pushing his clairvoyance talent to its limit.

Unlike ordinary cultivators whose divine sense and magical abilities are easily blocked by magic arrays, the Thousand-Mile Eye uses light to perceive all things.

Wherever there is light, even a sliver of light, it can become his eyes.

At this moment, his pupils, glowing with a faint golden flame in the darkness, reflected the scene inside the Biluo Garden. It was a picture transmitted by light, so clear that it was as if he were there in person.

In the quiet room on the top floor of Biluo Garden, he heard every word of the secret conversation between the Six-Fingered Fairy and the Jade Sun Ancestor.

"I can lend you this rope, but you do not have the methods and supernatural powers of my lineage, so it will be difficult for you to activate it."

The voice of the Six-Fingered Fairy echoed in Wu Tian's mind. He saw her fingertips glow with emerald light as she drew talismans in the air. The complex and profound trajectories of the runes were clearly visible under the scrutiny of the Thousand-Mile Eye.

More importantly, there is that short and difficult-to-pronounce mantra.

The Six-Fingered Fairy's lips moved slightly, her voice extremely soft, so soft that even an ordinary cultivator standing right in front of her might not be able to hear it.

But with his clairvoyance, Wu Tian not only saw every subtle change in her lip shape, but also captured the complete syllable through the vibration of light.

"Azure spider binds the spirit, moonlight guides, primordial spirit is imprisoned, decree!"

Wu Tian memorized the twelve-character mantra perfectly, along with the method for activating the talisman.

He saw the fanaticism and lewdness that flashed in the eyes of the Jade Sun Ancestor when he took the Immortal Binding Rope, and a chill ran through his heart.

After obtaining the Immortal Binding Rope, Ancestor Yuyang almost impatiently took his leave and departed from Biluo Garden.

After leaving the Biluo Courtyard, he grabbed the crystal-clear, jade-like Immortal Binding Rope and rubbed it repeatedly, his face showing an uncontrollable excitement and urgency.

"Lu Nanxi...you bitch, you'll be my woman sooner or later, but you still keep making excuses and don't know what's good for you."

Ancestor Yuyang muttered to himself, his Adam's apple bobbing, "Tonight, I will use the Immortal Binding Rope to make you wish you were dead, and then you will be completely at my mercy."

"Once I take your body and replenish your primordial yin and blood essence, let's see if you'll still be begging for death."

"Hmph, you bitch, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

His eyes were filled with greed, as if he could already see Lu Nanxi humiliated and forced to submit to him.

The golden flames in Wu Tian's pupils suddenly intensified.

He slowly rose to his feet, his black armor gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

The iron armor fit his tall and slender body perfectly, with broad shoulder armor and a chest armor that outlined strong and smooth muscle lines. A belt cinched his waist and the hem of the armor reached above his knees.

His face was cold and stern, his red hair seemed to flow with dark red flames in the darkness, and his whole person was like a drawn blade, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"Old dog... he really doesn't know what's good for him!"

Wu Tian's heart was filled with murderous intent. He silently pushed open the door and disappeared into the darkness of the corridor like a shadow. He arrived at Lu Nanxi's door and gently knocked.

"Who is it?" came Lu Nanxi's slightly wary voice from inside the room.

"It's me," Wu Tian said in a low voice.

The door opened silently a crack, and Lu Nanxi's figure appeared behind it.

The moonlight shone on her, revealing her thin, white nightgown and clearly showing her fair skin and graceful curves.

Her long hair was slightly disheveled, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks. Her eyes held a mixture of joy and languid charm. "Why are you here at this hour?"

Wu Tian slipped inside, closed the door behind him, and moved swiftly and silently.

"What's wrong?" Lu Nanxi noticed his seriousness and subconsciously pulled her slender hand to tighten her clothes, but the thin gauze dress didn't cover her body at all, and this action only made her cleavage more noticeable.

Wu Tian's gaze lingered on her for a moment before shifting away, and he quickly recounted what he had just seen and heard.

"The Immortal Binding Rope? A secret incantation?" Lu Nanxi's expression changed slightly, her delicate hands unconsciously clenching. "He's going to make his move tonight?"

"Probably." Wu Tian nodded, his gaze sweeping across the room. "That old man is getting impatient."

Lu Nanxi's room was elegantly decorated, with light blue and moon white as the main colors.

Before the window is a rosewood desk, on which are placed the Four Treasures of the Study and several ancient books; against the wall is a six-panel embroidered screen, on which is embroidered a lotus pond scene; inside is a large carved canopy bed, with plain gauze curtains hanging down.

The air was filled with a faint blend of a woman's natural fragrance and the scent of orchid incense.

Lu Nanxi was in a state of confusion and paced back and forth in the room.

The hem of her gauze dress swayed gently as she walked, sometimes clinging to her long, slender legs, and sometimes billowing in the wind, revealing her porcelain-white calves and delicate feet.

“We can’t just sit here and wait to die,” Wu Tian said in a deep voice. “This old thing probably never dreamed that I already know the secret incantation to activate the Binding Immortal God. When the time comes, we can strike first.”

"As long as we can use the Immortal Binding Rope to restrain this old thing, we can completely control the situation."

"Are you confident?" Lu Nanxi stopped and turned to look at him, her eyes full of worry. "After all, he is a Nascent Soul True Person. Even if he is bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, he may still have the power to resist."

"Moreover, this is the territory of the Zhurong clan. If too much commotion is caused..."

“Therefore, we must strike decisively and finish this quickly.” Golden flames flickered in Wu Tian’s eyes. “The reason he brought you to the wedding banquet was to use the Immortal Binding Rope to attack you.”

Lu Nanxi bit her lower lip, her full red lips glistening with an alluring sheen as she gently bit them with her pearly teeth.

She took a deep breath, and the gauze dress on her chest tightened, outlining a breathtaking curve.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." She finally made up her mind, a resolute glint in her eyes. "What do you need me to do?"

“Just stay in your room as usual and pretend you don’t know anything.” Wu Tian approached her, reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his fingertips feeling smooth and slightly cool. “When he barges in, shout at him sharply to attract his attention.”

"I will strike first and directly activate the secret incantation of the Immortal Binding Rope to catch him off guard."

Lu Nanxi felt the warmth from his fingertips and felt slightly relieved. She nodded gently, "Be careful." Wu Tian said no more. He flashed and hid under the covers on Lu Nanxi's bed as before, concealing all his presence. Even his breathing became barely audible. He was as inconspicuous as rotten wood, and it would be difficult to detect him unless one saw him with their own eyes.

Time passes little by little.

About half an hour later, very faint footsteps came from the stairs. If Wu Tian and Lu Nanxi hadn't been paying close attention, they would have hardly noticed them.

The footsteps stopped outside the door.

Lu Nanxi sat on the edge of the bed, her heart beating slightly faster.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open by a gentle yet irresistible magical force.

The figure of the Jade Sun Ancestor appeared at the door.

He wore a dark purple brocade robe with a jade belt loosely tied around his waist. His hair was neatly combed, and he wore a confident smile on his face. His expression was filled with undisguised lewdness and urgency. His eyes swept across the room like a hungry wolf, finally locking onto Lu Nanxi by the bed.

When the Jade Sun Ancestor saw Lu Nanxi's thin gauze dress, messy long hair, half-exposed shoulders and the curve of her chest, desire almost burst forth from his eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

"Oh, Nanxi, you're such a beauty! You're making me so envious!"

He stepped inside, closed the door behind him, and casually set up a soundproof barrier.

"Ancestor, what do you mean by this?" Lu Nanxi's face suddenly turned cold, and she said in a stiff tone, "What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night? And why are you uttering such foul language? Please leave immediately."

"We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Leave?" Ancestor Yuyang sneered, approaching step by step. "Now that I'm here, I'll naturally treat you well."

His gaze roamed greedily over her body, from her long neck to her delicate collarbone, then to her full, trembling breasts, slender waist, and rounded hips beneath her gauze dress, finally settling on her bare, jade-like feet.

"Over the years, I have treated you well, giving you resources and power. Marrying you would be an immense blessing for you, but you are ungrateful and have repeatedly disobeyed me."

The voice of the Jade Yang Ancestor grew colder, "Today, I will make you understand that women should be obedient and docile. Isn't it better to lie down and enjoy yourself? Why do you have to be so shameless?"

He reached out to grab Lu Nanxi's wrist.

"How dare you!" Lu Nanxi shouted sharply, her body surging with crimson magical light, which transformed into flames to protect her. "Don't forget, you promised me that you would never touch me before the marriage."

"If you keep pushing me, I'll fight you to the death."

"A fight to the death?" Ancestor Yuyang laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with even greater lust. "I'll show you how powerful I am in a moment. Once I've taken your body and you know how good I am, you won't want to die..."

He no longer concealed himself, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul True Person was released in a thunderous roar, instantly suppressing the protective magic light surrounding Lu Nanxi.

At the same time, with a flick of his left hand, the crystal-clear, jade-like Immortal Binding Rope appeared in his palm.

He was about to activate the secret incantation when his expression suddenly changed.

Because the section of the Immortal Binding Rope was trembling slightly in his hand, as if it was about to slip out of his grasp!

"What's going on?" Old Ancestor Yuyang's heart alarm bells rang, and he suddenly looked up.

Hidden under the covers, Wu Tian was already poised to strike. His magical power burned like flames within him as he silently recited the difficult incantation:
"Azure spider binds the spirit, moonlight guides, primordial spirit is imprisoned, decree!"

As the twelve-character mantra was activated, the magical power within the body was rapidly depleted.

The Immortal Binding Rope suddenly burst forth with a dazzling green light, and actually broke free from the palm of Ancestor Yuyang. Like a living thing, it coiled in the air and wrapped around Ancestor Yuyang in the opposite direction.

"What?!" Ancestor Yuyang was shocked and could not believe what he was seeing.

As Wu Tian chanted the incantation, he also noticed the unusual situation on the bed, realizing that there was someone hiding in Lu Nanxi's bed.

In the blink of an eye, he had no time to think it through.

The Immortal Binding Rope moved with incredible speed, transforming into a streak of emerald light that instantly wrapped around the body of Ancestor Yuyang.

The rope extended automatically, wrapping around him tightly from head to toe, finally tying a strange knot between his eyebrows, like a talisman, firmly imprinted on his forehead.

"Ugh!"

Ancestor Yuyang let out a miserable groan, feeling his magical power recede like a tide, and his primordial spirit seemed to be entangled and imprisoned by countless spider silks, unable to mobilize even a trace of power.

He staggered backward, crashed into the wall, and fell to the ground in a disheveled state.

“You… how could you…” He stared wide-eyed at Wu Tian, ​​who had stepped out of the bed, his eyes filled with shock, confusion and fear.

"When did you start hooking up with this slut?"

What benefits did he give you?

"And how can you move the Immortal Binding Rope?"

Wu Tian stepped forward expressionlessly.

His black armor gleamed with a cold, hard luster under the moonlight and golden flames, and his iron boots thudded on the floor.

His red hair moved without wind, sparks flew from the ends, golden flames burned in his pupils, and he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"You talk too much nonsense." Wu Tian's voice was as cold as iron.

Lu Nanxi had quickly tidied her clothes, picked up an outer robe and put it on to cover her alluring figure.

She quickly walked to Wu Tian's side, looking at the Yu Yang Ancestor who was tied up like a dumpling and looked miserable, her eyes filled with disgust and lingering fear.

"What do we do now?" she asked in a low voice. "If we kill him here, what will happen to the Zhu Rong clan..."

Upon hearing the word "kill," Ancestor Yuyang trembled and hurriedly cried out, "Nanxi, Lu Ding! You cannot kill me. I am the ancestor of the Lu family, a Primordial Spirit True Person! If I die here, the Zhurong Clan will surely pursue the matter."

"And even without me, the Li family of the Toad-Swallowing Clan will not let you go."

He forced himself to remain calm and tried to threaten, "Besides, tomorrow is Lady Zhurong's wedding day. If I am absent, the Zhurong clan will definitely become suspicious. When they investigate, you will also be implicated."

"Moreover, as you know, there will be a secret meeting between the six great families after this wedding banquet. If you kill me now, you will definitely be discovered, and then you will only face death."

Lu Nanxi glanced at Wu Tian, ​​a hesitant look on her face.

Killing a patriarch of a powerful family on Zhu Rong's territory is indeed very risky; the disappearance of a Nascent Soul cultivator would surely cause a huge uproar.

"How about... we imprison him first?" Lu Nanxi hesitated. "We can decide what to do after the wedding banquet ends and we leave Kunming Pool?"

“No.” Wu Tian shook his head, his gaze as cold as a knife. “The Immortal Binding Rope can only be used once, and the power of the talisman cannot be maintained for long.”

"The Six-Fingered Fairy said that she would sense when the talisman dissipated and would demand it back. We can't hold him for long."

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, this old dog is vicious. Now that we've torn off all pretense of civility, we absolutely cannot spare his life. Otherwise, he will surely become a future threat." (End of Chapter)
