Chapter 119: Ziyun Valley

Ziyun Valley was eight hundred li south of Qinghe City.

Su Yun brought Zhou Yuanshuang and Zhou Yuanmin and flew for half a shichen before a purple mountain range appeared before them.

In the center of the mountain range was a narrow rift, the entrance of the valley shrouded in purple mist. Those mists were not ordinary mists, but rather condensed from pure Spiritual Qi, carrying a faint medicinal fragrance.

Zhou Yuanshuang pointed ahead.

"Master, that is Ziyun Valley. The Valley Master, Fairy Ziyun, is skilled in Alchemy. These purple mists are a defensive Formation she set up; outsiders who enter will lose their way."

Su Yun nodded.

"You two wait outside."

Zhou Yuanshuang was stunned.

"Master, you are going in alone?"

Su Yun smiled.

"It is only the Mid Nascent Soul Stage; it is not as if I have not fought one before."

He lifted his foot and walked toward the valley entrance.

The moment he stepped into the purple mist, the surrounding scenery began to distort. The originally clear rift became blurry, and purple mist was everywhere, making it impossible to distinguish direction.

Su Yun stopped walking and closed his eyes.

He probed out with his Divine Sense.

Those mists could confuse vision, but they could not block his Divine Sense. Very quickly, he found the strongest aura in the center of the valley.

He opened his eyes and walked in that direction.

After walking for the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, the view suddenly opened up.

The purple mist dissipated, revealing a huge valley.

The valley was filled with Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine, and the air was permeated with a rich medicinal fragrance. In the center stood a palace built of green jade, and a person was standing in front of the hall.

It was a woman.

She looked to be in her early thirties, wearing a pale purple long dress, her long hair tied up with a jade hairpin, revealing a slender, fair neck. Her features were beautiful and elegant, carrying a hint of aloofness between her brows and eyes, and her aura was as deep as an abyss.

Mid Nascent Soul Stage.

Fairy Ziyun.

She watched Su Yun walk out of the purple mist, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"To be able to pass through my purple mist Formation, you have some ability."

Su Yun stopped three zhang away from her.

"Fairy Ziyun?"

The woman nodded.

"You are that Su Yun who has been causing such a stir recently?"

Su Yun smiled.

"You have heard of me too?"

Fairy Ziyun said faintly:

"Yuxu Palace has lost so many people; it would be hard not to know. Why, coming to my Ziyun Valley today, do you also want to subjugate me?"

Su Yun nodded.

"Smart."

Fairy Ziyun looked at him and suddenly smiled.

The smile was very faint, yet it carried a trace of mockery.

"Golden Core Late Stage, yet you dare to say you want to subjugate me. What do you rely on?"

Su Yun did not waste words.

He took a step forward and struck with his palm!

Fairy Ziyun raised her hand, and a purple light met it.

Bang!

Both of them retreated one step simultaneously.

The mockery on Fairy Ziyun's face vanished, replaced by gravity.

"You are not an ordinary Golden Core Late Stage."

Su Yun smiled.

"Do you know now?"

He pressed forward, striking with both fists and palms.

Fairy Ziyun waved her sleeves to fight back, purple light intertwining with ice-blue and blood-red, exploding in the valley. Everywhere they passed, Spiritual Plants flew, and mountain rocks shattered.

Fairy Ziyun became more shocked the longer they fought.

This young man's power was too strange. His Spiritual Qi seemed endless, becoming stronger the more he fought. Moreover, besides the Ice Cold Power, he also possessed the Power of the Five Elements and the Thunder Spirit Power, using them alternately, making her unable to defend.

She was at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, yet she was actually being suppressed by a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.

After fifty moves, she began to feel the strain.

Su Yun caught a flaw and struck her shoulder with a palm.

Fairy Ziyun groaned, flew backward, and smashed into the palace wall.

The wall collapsed.

She climbed up from the ruins, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Looking up, Su Yun was already standing before her.

"You… who exactly are you?"

Su Yun looked down at her.

"Your master."

As his voice fell, he tapped his finger on her glabella.

Golden light flashed.

[Enslavement successful]

[Obtained new slave: Fairy Ziyun, Loyalty 49]

[Ding! Congratulations Host, obtained partial Spiritual Qi feedback from Enslavement; cultivation increased significantly.]

Fairy Ziyun's body stiffened, the unwillingness in her eyes gradually turning into confusion.

She looked at Su Yun, her lips moving.

"Master…"

Su Yun withdrew his hand.

In his Dantian, a massive amount of feedback Spiritual Qi was pouring in.

The feedback from the Mid Nascent Soul Stage was nearly double that of the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

He closed his eyes, feeling his cultivation climbing.

His Golden Core Late Stage cultivation pushed forward by a large margin.

He was only one step away from the Peak Golden Core Stage.

He opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Ziyun.

"How many Disciples do you have?"

Fairy Ziyun lowered her head.

"Replying to Master, there are three hundred and twenty-seven Disciples. Two hundred and eighty-three female cultivators and forty-four male cultivators."

Su Yun nodded.

"Gather all the female cultivators."

Fairy Ziyun turned and left.

A moment later, nearly three hundred female cultivators stood before the hall.

Ranging from the Golden Core Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they were dressed in various colorful robes, some nervous, some curious, and some fearful.

Su Yun walked down the steps.

He walked to the first female cultivator.

She was a woman at the Mid Golden Core Stage, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament.

Su Yun raised his hand and tapped her glabella.

Golden light flashed.

[Enslavement successful]

[Obtained new slave: Ziwan, Loyalty 63]

[Ding! Congratulations Host, obtained partial Spiritual Qi feedback from Enslavement; cultivation increased slightly.]

The woman's body stiffened, the fear in her eyes gradually turning into obedience.

She lowered her head.

"Master…"

Su Yun walked toward the second one.

The third.

The fourth.

Two hundred and eighty-three female cultivators, he tapped them one by one.

Golden light flashed repeatedly.

In his Dantian, the feedback Spiritual Qi flowed in like a trickling stream.

Although each one was not much, with over two hundred gathered together, the amount was very considerable.

Su Yun closed his eyes, feeling his cultivation climbing.

Peak of the Golden Core Late Stage.

He was only a thin line away from reaching the Peak Golden Core Stage.

He opened his eyes and looked at the forty-some male cultivators.

"Deal with those men."

Fairy Ziyun nodded and turned toward the male cultivators.

A moment later, screams rang out.

When she returned, her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Su Yun looked at her.

"Ziyun Valley is still yours. Do what you need to do. If anyone from the Immortal Alliance comes to inquire, just say everything is normal."

Fairy Ziyun lowered her head.

"This subordinate understands."

Su Yun nodded, turned, and walked out of the valley.

Zhou Yuanshuang and Zhou Yuanmin were still waiting at the valley entrance.

Seeing him come out, the two hurriedly went to greet him.

"Master, have you subdued her?"

Su Yun gave an affirmative sound.

The three of them rose into the air and flew toward Qinghe City.

When they returned to Qinghe City, the sky was already dark.

Zhou Ruoyun was standing in the courtyard waiting for him.

Seeing him return, the little girl pounced over.

"Brother Su!"

Su Yun caught her and rubbed her hair.

Zhou Ruoyun raised her little face.

"Is Brother Su tired?"

Su Yun shook his head.

"Not tired."

Zhou Ruoyun smiled and pulled him into the house.

"Ruoyun has prepared hot water for Brother Su."

Su Yun followed her into the house.

Zhou Yuanshuang and Zhou Yuanmin continued to stand guard at the door.

The night wind blew, bringing the scent of the distant mountains.

Su Yun soaked in the hot water, closing his eyes to rest his mind.

In his Dantian, the feedback Spiritual Qi from those newly enslaved was still slowly pouring in.

Although the amount was not large, it was continuous.

Added to those he had previously enslaved, he now had nearly a thousand female cultivators under him.

Every day, just the Spiritual Qi fed back from their Cultivation was enough for him to improve steadily.

He opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Moonlight sprinkled down, and the courtyard was quiet.

In the distance, light flickered on the horizon.

That was the direction of the Immortal Alliance.

They would come soon.

And he was already prepared.
