Chapter 115: Delivering Herself to the Door

Zhou Yuanshuang arrived faster than expected.

Three days after Zhao Han and the others self-destructed, she arrived at Qinghe City with people in tow.

Without hiding or probing, she landed directly on the city walls.

She released the pressure of the Early Nascent Soul Stage without reservation, leaving all the Cultivators in the city unable to breathe.

Zhou Yuanshuang stood on the city tower, her gaze sweeping across the area below.

"Su Yun, get out here."

Her voice echoed throughout the entire city.

In the courtyard, Su Yun held his teacup and took a slow sip.

Shen Ying's face turned pale.

"Young Master, she…"

Su Yun put down the teacup.

"What's the rush?"

He stood up and stretched his limbs.

"It wouldn't be good to keep her waiting."

As his voice faded, his figure flickered and vanished from the courtyard.

On the city walls.

Zhou Yuanshuang stared ahead.

A figure descended from the sky, landing three zhang away from her.

Clad in moon-white robes with black hair tied up, his face was indeed very handsome.

Zhou Yuanshuang narrowed her eyes.

"Are you Su Yun?"

Su Yun smiled.

"What do you want with me?"

Zhou Yuanshuang sneered.

"Don't play dumb. Did you kill my brother, Zhou Yuanzhen?"

Su Yun thought for a moment.

"Zhou Yuanzhen? That old man? Yes, I killed him."

The killing intent in Zhou Yuanshuang's eyes surged.

"Good, very good."

She raised her hand, and a long cyan sword appeared in her palm.

The sword hummed, and its Sword Intent soared into the sky.

"Then you shall be buried with him."

Before the words had even faded, the sword light had already arrived!

The sword was impossibly fast, reaching Su Yun in the blink of an eye.

Su Yun did not dodge or evade, instead raising his hand to strike with a palm.

A light interwoven with icy blue and blood red exploded, knocking the sword light off course as it grazed past his side.

Zhou Yuanshuang's pupils constricted.

"You…"

Su Yun did not give her a chance to speak.

He stepped forward, closing the distance.

Zhou Yuanshuang swung her sword in continuous slashes, the sword light weaving like a web.

Su Yun dodged left and right, occasionally striking with a palm to scatter the sword light.

The two engaged in a fierce battle on the city walls; waves of Qi surged, causing surrounding buildings to collapse one after another.

Those Yuxu Palace Disciples retreated far away, unable to intervene at all.

Zhou Yuanshuang grew more and more alarmed as the fight continued.

She was at the Early Nascent Soul Stage and attacking with full force, yet she couldn't take down a Mid Golden Core Stage Cultivator?

What was more terrifying was that this young man's power seemed endless; they had fought for so long, yet his aura had not weakened in the slightest.

Instead, it was she who began to feel the strain.

Su Yun seized an opening and struck her on the shoulder with a palm.

Zhou Yuanshuang let out a muffled groan, flying backward and crashing through a pavilion.

She struggled to climb up, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Looking up, she saw Su Yun already standing before her.

"You… what exactly are you…"

Su Yun looked down at her.

Under the moonlight, her face looked fierce yet somewhat disheveled, though not entirely unsightly.

He suddenly smiled.

"Early Nascent Soul Stage, and this is all the skill you have?"

Zhou Yuanshuang's face turned livid.

She raised her hand to fight again, but her injuries were too severe, and her internal Qi was not circulating smoothly.

Su Yun did not give her a chance.

He tapped a finger on her forehead.

A golden light flashed.

[Enslavement Successful]

[Obtained New Slave: Zhou Yuanshuang, Loyalty 51]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a portion of the Enslavement spiritual power feedback; cultivation has increased significantly.]

Zhou Yuanshuang's body stiffened, and the killing intent in her eyes gradually turned into confusion.

She looked at Su Yun, her lips moving.

"Master…"

Su Yun withdrew his hand.

Inside his Dantian, a massive surge of feedback Qi was pouring in.

Combined with the cultivation feedback from those previously enslaved, his cultivation had advanced by another large margin.

He was not far from the Golden Core Late Stage now.

He looked toward the Yuxu Palace Disciples in the distance.

There were still over a dozen Golden Core Cultivators standing below the city walls, their faces pale and at a loss.

Zhou Yuanshuang followed his gaze.

"Master, those people…"

Su Yun said indifferently:

"Keep the women, kill the men."

Zhou Yuanshuang nodded and turned to fly down from the city walls.

A moment later, a few screams came from below.

When she returned, five female Cultivators followed behind her.

They were all at the Golden Core Stage: three at the Middle Stage and two at the Early Stage.

They stood before Su Yun, heads bowed, their bodies trembling slightly.

Su Yun walked over.

He tapped a finger on the first female Cultivator's forehead.

[Enslavement Successful]

[Obtained New Slave: Zhou Ruohua, Loyalty 58]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a portion of the Enslavement spiritual power feedback; cultivation has increased slightly.]

The second one.

[Enslavement Successful]

[Obtained New Slave: Lin Wanqing, Loyalty 62]

The third one.

The fourth one.

The fifth one.

Five golden lights flashed, and all five Golden Core female Cultivators were subdued.

Inside his Dantian, the feedback Qi poured in once again.

Su Yun closed his eyes, sensing his cultivation climbing.

It was close.

It was truly close.

He opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Yuanshuang.

"Regarding your brother's matter, will Yuxu Palace continue to send people?"

Zhou Yuanshuang nodded.

"They will. Yuxu Palace has lost three Nascent Soul Cultivators and will not let this rest. The next ones to come will likely be at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage."

Su Yun smiled.

"Let them come."

He turned and flew toward the courtyard.

Behind him, Zhou Yuanshuang followed silently with the five newly enslaved female Cultivators.

In the courtyard.

Shen Ying was stunned to see a group of people following behind Su Yun.

"Young Master, these are…"

Su Yun waved his hand.

"New acquisitions. Get them settled."

Shen Ying nodded and took them to the backyard.

Su Yun sat down by the stone table.

Zhou Yuanshuang did not leave, standing by his side.

Su Yun looked at her.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhou Yuanshuang lowered her head.

"Master, this subordinate has a request."

Su Yun raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Yuanshuang said:

"This subordinate wishes to remain by Master's side to serve. I do not wish to return to Yuxu Palace."

Su Yun looked at her.

An Early Nascent Soul Stage female Cultivator, asking to stay voluntarily?

He smiled.

"Why?"

Zhou Yuanshuang looked up.

"This subordinate has been cultivating for two hundred years and has been stuck at the Early Nascent Soul Stage. The Elders of Yuxu Palace are all locked in internal strife, and I have long grown tired of it."

She looked at Su Yun with a serious gaze.

"By following Master, I feel I can achieve a Breakthrough."

Su Yun was silent for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"Then stay."

Zhou Yuanshuang's eyes lit up, and she knelt to kowtow.

"Thank you, Master."

Su Yun stood up and walked into the house.

Behind him, Zhou Yuanshuang stood up and silently guarded the door.

Moonlight spilled down.

The courtyard was quiet.

Su Yun lay on the couch, eyes closed.

Inside his Dantian, the feedback Qi from the newly enslaved ones was still slowly pouring in.

Adding those from before, he now had dozens of Golden Core Cultivators and three Nascent Soul Cultivators under his command.

Although the loyalty of the Nascent Soul Cultivators was not high, as long as they continued to Cultivate, they would constantly provide feedback.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Yuxu Palace.

Keep sending them.

Once he achieves a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, the entire Central Region will have to take the surname Su.
