Chapter 120: Arrival of the Immortal Alliance

After returning from Ziyun Valley, Su Yun stayed in Qinghe City for five days.

During these five days, he did the same thing every day. He sat in the courtyard drinking tea during the day and slept while holding Zhou Ruoyun at night. Occasionally, he would guide the newly recruited female cultivators in their Cultivate and listen to them report on the movements of their respective Sects.

Days passed peacefully and comfortably.

But everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

On the evening of the sixth day, Hu Meiniang returned.

This time, she did not throw herself into Su Yun's arms as she usually did, but instead walked up to him with a solemn expression.

"Master, something has happened."

Su Yun put down his teacup.

"Speak."

Hu Meiniang said:

"The Immortal Alliance has confirmed that you are in the Central Region. They have sent a truly elite force, led by the Grand Elder of Yuxu Palace, Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng."

Zhou Yuanshuang's expression changed.

"Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng? Is he still alive?"

Hu Meiniang nodded.

"He is alive. A Late Nascent Soul Stage Peak cultivator, just one step away from the Soul Transformation. He has been in seclusion for thirty years and has just come out."

Su Yun looked at Zhou Yuanshuang.

"You know him?"

Zhou Yuanshuang took a deep breath.

"Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng was a Genius of the previous generation at Yuxu Palace; he was already at the Late Nascent Soul Stage two hundred years ago. He went into seclusion to attempt the Soul Transformation, and everyone thought he had failed. I didn't expect him to still be alive."

She looked at Su Yun, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

"Master, this person is very terrifying. The Cultivation Technique he practices is specifically designed to suppress coldness, which happens to counter your Ice Soul Power. Furthermore, he has rich combat experience; no fewer than ten Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivators have died at his hands."

Su Yun smiled after hearing this.

"Late Nascent Soul Stage Peak, that is indeed somewhat interesting."

He looked at Hu Meiniang.

"How many people did he bring?"

Hu Meiniang said:

"Five Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, twenty Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and over a hundred Golden Core cultivators. They are all elites; there is no filler."

Zhou Yuanmin gasped.

"Such a huge formation?"

Su Yun, however, smiled even more happily.

"Good, very good."

He stood up and walked to the center of the courtyard.

"How long until they arrive?"

Hu Meiniang said:

"At their pace, about seven days."

Seven days.

Su Yun nodded.

"That is enough."

He looked at Zhou Yuanshuang.

"For Ziyun Valley, have Fairy Ziyun call all the female cultivators in the valley. The same goes for the Xuanshui Sect and the Tianhuo Sect. Within seven days, gather everyone in Qinghe City."

Zhou Yuanshuang was stunned.

"Master, you want to call them all here?"

Su Yun gave a hum of affirmation.

"After this battle is fought, they won't need to go back. They will all stay in Qinghe City."

Zhou Yuanshuang understood.

Master wanted to achieve everything in one final battle.

She turned to send the message.

For the next seven days, Qinghe City became lively.

First, over two hundred female cultivators from Ziyun Valley arrived. Fairy Ziyun brought them and camped outside the city.

Then came over two hundred female cultivators from the Xuanshui Sect. Fairy Shuiyun led the team herself and camped next to Ziyun Valley.

Next were the thirty-plus female cultivators from the Tianhuo Sect. Lie Yunyan brought them and camped on the other side.

Finally, those Golden Core female cultivators scattered in various places also arrived one after another.

Seven days later, nearly a thousand female cultivators had gathered outside Qinghe City.

From Mid Nascent Soul Stage to Early Foundation Establishment Stage, with clothes and appearances of all kinds, standing together, it was a spectacular sight.

Zhou Ruoyun stood on the city wall, looking at the people outside, her small face full of surprise.

"Brother Su, are they all your people?"

Su Yun nodded.

Zhou Ruoyun's eyes were sparkling.

"So many people."

Su Yun ruffled her hair.

"There will be even more in the future."

Zhou Yuanshuang walked to his side.

"Master, everything is arranged. Those at the Nascent Soul Stage are in the front, those at the Golden Core Stage are in the back, and those at the Foundation Establishment Stage are responsible for perimeter security."

Su Yun nodded.

"What about Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng's side?"

Zhou Yuanshuang said:

"Half a day's journey left. They will arrive by evening."

Su Yun looked up at the sky.

The sun was hanging right in the middle.

Half a day left.

He turned and walked down the city wall.

In the courtyard, Hu Meiniang was waiting for him.

Seeing him enter, she walked up to meet him.

"Master, this subordinate has a request."

Su Yun looked at her.

"Speak."

Hu Meiniang bit her lip.

"This subordinate wants to stay by Master's side. In this battle, this subordinate does not want to hide."

Su Yun was silent for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"Then follow."

Hu Meiniang's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

At dusk.

The sound of something piercing the air came from the horizon.

Su Yun stood on the city wall and looked up.

The distant sky was covered by dense streaks of light, at least over a hundred figures.

The person in the lead was wearing a black robe, with white hair and beard, and a cold expression.

Behind him followed five Mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, twenty Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and over a hundred Golden Core cultivators.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng.

He stopped ten miles outside the city, his gaze passing over the female cultivators and landing on Su Yun on the city wall.

"Su Yun?"

The voice was not loud, but it clearly spread across the entire field.

Su Yun smiled.

"Looking for me for something?"

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng looked at him.

"You killed so many people from my Yuxu Palace, and you still ask me if I have something to do?"

He raised his hand, and a jet-black long sword appeared in his palm.

"Today is your death day."

Su Yun jumped off the city wall and landed a hundred feet in front of him.

"Just by you?"

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng sneered.

"Ignorant brat, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

He swung his sword, and a sword strike was unleashed!

The Sword Qi transformed into a black Dragon and rushed towards Su Yun!

Wherever the black Dragon passed, the Void Realm trembled, and a deep gully was left on the ground.

Su Yun did not retreat.

With Ice blue and blood-red light intertwined around his body, he threw a punch!

Boom!

The black Dragon exploded, and the shockwave surged.

Su Yun retreated three steps, while Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng did not move an inch.

A trace of surprise flashed in Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng's eyes.

"No wonder you could kill so many people; you do have some ability."

Su Yun loosened his wrists.

"Is that all you've got?"

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng's expression darkened.

He stepped forward, and the sword light was like a weave.

Su Yun did not retreat but advanced, using both fists and palms.

The two fought fiercely outside the city, shockwaves surging and the ground shattering.

Those Nascent Soul female cultivators retreated far away, not daring to get close.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng became more and more alarmed as he fought.

This young man's strength was far stronger than he had expected. He was at the Peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage, attacking with full force, and he actually couldn't take down a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator?

Moreover, the power in his body was too strange. The ice-cold power was countered by his Cultivation Technique, but the Power of the Five Elements and Thunder Spirit Power were used alternately, making him hard to defend against.

After fighting for half an hour, the two were still evenly matched.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng began to panic.

He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

The essence blood merged into the long sword, and the sword body glowed with an eerie red light.

"Blood Sacrifice Sword Technique!"

He slashed out, and the sword light turned into a rain of blood that covered the sky and descended upon Su Yun!

This was his ultimate trump card, powerful enough to severely injure someone of the same rank.

Su Yun looked at the rain of blood and suddenly smiled.

He closed his eyes.

In his Sea of Consciousness, two sleeping figures opened their eyes at the same time.

True Monarch Bingpo.

The Blood-colored Girl.

They turned into two streams of light and merged into his body.

Su Yun opened his eyes.

The Ice blue and blood-red light surged, condensing into two phantoms behind him.

One was cold as frost, the other enchanting as a demon.

He raised his hand.

He threw a punch.

Boom!!!

The fist energy collided with the rain of blood, exploding into a blinding light.

The light dissipated.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuansheng stood in place, a blood hole appearing in his chest.

He looked down at the blood hole, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You… you…"

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell down.

The whole scene was dead silent.

Those Disciples of Yuxu Palace all turned pale.

Su Yun withdrew his hand and looked at them.

"Keep the women. Kill the men."

The female cultivators behind him swarmed forward.

A moment later, screams rang out.

When the sounds subsided, over twenty Golden Core female cultivators were brought before Su Yun.

Su Yun pointed at them one by one.

Golden light flashed one after another.

Inside his Dantian, the feedback of spiritual energy surged in like a tide.

He closed his eyes.

The Bottleneck of the Golden Core Late Stage was broken through.

Peak Golden Core Stage.

He opened his eyes and looked at the night sky.

In the distance, the horizon was turning white.

A new day had begun.
