Qi Yan was completely absorbed in his own thoughts, muttering something to himself.
Suddenly, an overwhelming and unparalleled pressure descended upon him without warning.
Qi Yan suddenly felt his body sink, the force coming so swiftly that he had no time to react.
He blurted out involuntarily, "Oh my god!"
Immediately afterward, he hurriedly raised his hands, waving them frantically and shouting, "Please let me go! Please let me go!"
Time slips away quietly.
Qi Yan stood in front of Nan Xunran, excitedly gesturing wildly.
Then, he raised the Spacetime Fragment high in his hand and emphasized again, "This is what keeps me in a cycle of reincarnation, and it always happens within three days!!"
Nan Xunran looked at Qi Yan opposite her, her gaze filled with a hint of inquiry, "Why do you want to see me?"
Qi Yan immediately stopped what he was doing and replied, "The person who gave me this told me to come find you. He said that as long as I see you, I can break free from the cycle of reincarnation."
Nan Xunran frowned. "For your people?"
Qi Yan shook his head helplessly, and said with a bitter face, "I don't know who he is, I haven't even seen his face."
"But he's very strong, extremely strong."
In the cycle of reincarnation, he did all sorts of reckless things, and he had met the patriarchs of various powerful families.
But none of those patriarchs could exert the same overwhelming pressure on him as that mysterious man.
Of course, these ancestors do not include the Nan Clan.
Let alone the patriarch of the Nan Clan, he couldn't even get into the Nan Clan.
He was truly impressed by the Nan Clan's defenses.
He had countless ways to get close to Nan Xunran, but each time he was blocked by the Nan Clan's grand formation.
That great formation forbade outsiders to enter. He tried many methods, but each time he died instantly after taking only half a step inside.
He naively thought that seeing Nan Xunran would be easy; at worst, he would die upon seeing him, as long as he could escape the cycle of reincarnation.
As a result, he couldn't get into the Nan Clan no matter what he tried.
He looked at Nan Xunran's portrait countless times, to the point that he could draw it with his eyes closed, but he could never see the person in person.
But in this reincarnation, he inexplicably woke up in the Nan Clan...
Oh well, at least he got to see Nan Xunran.
Qi Yan took a deep breath, trying his best to stop his chaotic thoughts.
He solemnly handed the Spacetime Fragment to Nan Xunran, his eyes filled with earnestness, "How can I stop being reincarnated?"
Nan Xunran slightly, bending her slender, jade-like fingertips.
In an instant, an invisible force quietly emerged, drawing the fragments to him.
"To break free from the cycle of reincarnation, one must make a sacrifice."
Qi Yan said eagerly, "I am willing to serve you and be your subordinate."
"Don't underestimate me just because my cultivation is still shallow; I know a lot."
Nan Xunran's gaze swept over the top of his head:
[Loyalty: 30 points]
His gaze met Qi Yan's, as if it could pierce through to the heart.
"I don't need disloyal people under my command."
Qi Yan was taken aback, then retorted defiantly, "How do you know if I'm loyal or not?"
Then, he lowered his head slightly and muttered softly, "I've reincarnated so many times to find you; if it's not negative, it means I have feelings for you."
Nan Xunran her head, shifting her gaze from Qi Yan to the Spacetime Fragment.
A strong intuition suddenly arose in his mind: there must be something hidden in this fragment.
Then, Nan Xunran lightly raised her arm, her sleeve drawing a graceful arc in the air.
As he moved, an invisible, immense power rippled outwards.
Qi Yan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his mind instantly went blank, and before he could even protest, he had already fallen into a coma.
A drop of bright red blood spilled from Nan Xunran's fingertip, then flew towards the Spacetime Fragment on its own, landing precisely within it.
In an instant, the scene before Nan Xunran's eyes changed violently like a water curtain.
Then, a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
The light quickly enveloped Nan Xunran, and his figure gradually became blurred and indistinct within it.
As the light slowly faded, Nan Xunran had already disappeared.
Within the Spacetime Fragment
Nan Xunran turned her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings.
Before me stood a magnificent hall, its scale far exceeding that of the Divine Son Hall by several times.
He moved swiftly, disappearing from the spot like a ghost.
In the next instant, they appeared deep inside the hall.
Just then, a dark shadow flashed by, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
In the blink of an eye, the dark figure vanished from sight, leaving not even a trace.
The air was thick with a tangible stench of blood, and the entire space trembled slightly.
A drop of blood fell from mid-air, about to touch the ground, and the surrounding space trembled once more.
The drop of blood seemed to be bound by some force, abruptly hanging in mid-air before vanishing in an instant.
Nan Xunran's gaze was drawn to a figure leaning against the wall.
