The man opened his mouth for a long while before his voice was hoarse, "Yes, Wan'er is ready for marriage."

"Then the one I have in mind will come to marry me?"

"Sure, it will."

The man took a deep breath and spoke in a more gentle tone, "Wan'er be good, go take a nap first, brother will wake you up after dealing with this intruder, okay?"

The woman nodded obediently, her long, thick black hair brushing gently.

She bounced over to the side of the bed and lay down, covering herself with the blanket.

Muttering an off-key song, "...Ah brother you must come quickly, Ah sister is waiting for you to take me away...take me to that distant sky, never to be separated again...Ah brother ah please come quickly, Ah sister has waited so long..."

The maiden's voice sang a song that couldn't be said even if it wasn't quite in tune.

And for some reason, listening to it always made one feel inexplicably sad.

When the woman's song disappeared, the man waved his hand.

A boundary separated the two sides of the house.

Only then did he slowly walk towards Mu Yan, looking at her coldly and condescendingly, "Did you burn down the Nine Li Divine Hall?"

Muyan looked the man up and down and couldn't help but feel inwardly frightened.

Those Jiu Li envoys who were like dried corpses were quite a bit stronger than her, but she could at least see the depth of their cultivation at a glance.

But this man in front of her, she couldn't even see his cultivation at all.

This meant that the person in front of her was either far stronger than those Nine Li Ambassadors, or had a special means to hide his cultivation.

Although her heart was in shock, Mu Yan's face did not fluctuate at all, only asking calmly, "Where is my companion?"

The man narrowed his eyes, "Now I'm the one asking you questions."

Muyan nodded, "I burned it."

"Burned with what? Every brick and tile in the Nine Li Divine Hall has been forged in a special way, equivalent to a high-grade magic treasure, even the fire of an Immortal may not be able to burn it down, how did you, a small Xuan Xian, do it?"

Muyan asked instead of answering, "I've answered your question, now it's your turn to answer it, where is my companion?"

The man obviously didn't expect that this little girl would be so arrogant when she had fallen into this situation.

After being startled for a moment, he couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think that if you don't say anything, I won't be able to find out where you came from?"

Before his words fell, his hands had already begun to form intricate Dharma seals.

A moment later, wisps of black Qi emerged from his fingertips and wrapped around Mu Yan.

This was... a spell!

Mu Yan's appearance was suddenly heavy, her nerves completely tense.

Immediately afterwards, she felt a great pulling force in her sea of knowledge.

A shriek of alarm entered her mind.

Mu Yan's appearance changed, only to see that a golden-red ball of fire had fallen beside her, and her open solitary eye was filled with fear.

"Golden Crow Fire Essence?"

The man revealed a surprised look, then he realized, "So it's the most rigid and intense Golden Crow Fire in this world, no wonder it was able to burn the Nine Li Divine Hall."

"Heh, somewhat interesting." The corners of the man's mouth curled up in an amused smile, "A small Xuan Immortal, whose root age is not even a hundred years old, can possess a Golden Crow Fire Essence of such a high grade and still be able to retreat from the hands of the Nine Li Envoy in one piece. I'm now becoming more and more curious as to what exactly your identity is."

As he spoke, he interlaced the fingers of his hands once again and was about to make a seal.

Mu Yan, however, was shocked by his [Spell].
