Chapter 124: Trip to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion

Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue settled down in the courtyard.

The two female Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion quickly adapted to their new environment. Every day, they Cultivated with Zhou Yuanshuang and occasionally provided pointers on sword techniques to the Golden Core Stage female Disciples. The sword techniques of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion were indeed exquisite, and those female Disciples improved rapidly.

Su Yun observed them for a few days and discovered that the sisters had completely different personalities.

The elder sister, Lin Qingshuang, was gentle in nature, spoke in soft whispers, and always wore a faint smile on her face. The younger sister, Lin Qingxue, had a cold temperament, did not like to talk, and kept a straight face all day, like an iceberg.

However, their loyalty was steadily increasing. Lin Qingshuang's had risen from 58 to 65, and Lin Qingxue's from 61 to 69.

That evening, Su Yun called them to the study.

"What is the situation at the Heavenly Sword Pavilion now?"

Lin Qingshuang said, "After Senior Martial Brother Jian Wuchen returned, he spread the news. Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion knows how powerful Master is, so they dare not act rashly for the time being."

Su Yun nodded.

"Who is your Pavilion Master?"

Lin Qingxue spoke up, her voice cold and clear. "The Pavilion Master is named Fairy Jianyun, at the Late Nascent Soul Stage. She is the only female Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and has been in charge of it for two hundred years."

Su Yun raised an eyebrow. A female Pavilion Master? Interesting.

Lin Qingshuang added, "Pavilion Master Jianyun is very formidable; she once slew three Peak Nascent Soul Stage cultivators single-handedly with her sword. She Cultivates the highest Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and has extremely high attainments in the Dao of the sword."

Su Yun thought for a moment. "What does she look like?"

Lin Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, her face blushing slightly. "The Pavilion Master is extremely beautiful. Although she has been Cultivating for two hundred years, she looks like she is in her early thirties. She rarely appears and is usually in seclusion at Sword Peak."

Su Yun smiled. Late Nascent Soul Stage, beautiful, and rarely appears. This target is not bad.

He looked at the two sisters. "Can you take me into the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?"

Lin Qingshuang's expression changed. "Does Master want to attack the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?"

Su Yun shook his head. "Not attack. It is to pay a visit to your Pavilion Master."

Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue exchanged a glance.

Lin Qingxue said, "Master, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's defenses are strict. It is difficult for an outsider to enter without being detected by the Pavilion Master's Divine Sense."

Su Yun smiled. "I am not an outsider. I am your friend."

Lin Qingshuang understood. Master intends to sneak in. She thought for a moment. "That is possible. But Master must disguise himself as a Loose Cultivator and return with us to report. We will say that we encountered danger outside, were saved by Master, and brought him back to express our gratitude."

Su Yun nodded. "Let's do that."

The next morning, Su Yun changed into an ordinary green robe and set off with Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue.

Zhou Yuanshuang wanted to follow, but he refused. "You stay and guard Qinghe City. I will be back soon."

The three of them took to the air and flew in the direction of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion was two thousand li northeast of Qinghe City, situated on a massive mountain range. That mountain range was called Sword Mountain, and from afar, it looked like a giant sword lying horizontally.

After flying for a day and a night, the three arrived at the foot of Sword Mountain the next evening.

There were Disciples guarding the mountain gate, all female cultivators at the Golden Core Stage, wearing white sword robes and looking heroic.

Seeing Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue return, they hurriedly saluted. "Senior Sisters have returned."

Lin Qingshuang nodded and pointed at Su Yun. "This is Young Master Su, who saved us on the road. I am taking him to meet the Pavilion Master to express our gratitude."

Those female cultivators looked at Su Yun, their gazes lingering on him for a moment.

Su Yun smiled slightly. That smile was gentle and harmless, and a few of the female cultivators blushed slightly and hurriedly looked away. They passed through smoothly.

The three walked up the mountain path.

Along the way, they encountered many Heavenly Sword Pavilion Disciples, mostly female cultivators; occasionally there were a few men, all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, doing some miscellaneous tasks.

Su Yun swept his gaze over those female cultivators and silently noted them in his heart.

Walking to the middle of the mountain, Lin Qingshuang suddenly stopped.

A great hall appeared in front, and a woman in white stood before the hall.

The woman looked to be in her early thirties, with a cold and clear face, and features as beautiful as a painting. She stood there, her aura restrained, yet it made people afraid to look directly at her.

Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue hurriedly saluted. "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

Fairy Jianyun. Her gaze fell on Su Yun, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. "You are Su Yun?"

Su Yun smiled. "The Pavilion Master knows me?"

Fairy Jianyun said indifferently, "You killed so many people from Yuxu Palace and also took two of my Heavenly Sword Pavilion Disciples; it would be hard not to know you."

Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue's expressions changed.

Fairy Jianyun looked at them. "Did you think I didn't know? From the moment you stepped into the mountain gate, I sensed someone else's aura on you."

Lin Qingshuang lowered her head. "Pavilion Master, we…"

Fairy Jianyun waved her hand. "I do not blame you. You were controlled."

She looked at Su Yun, her gaze sharp. "What method did you use?"

Su Yun looked at her. "Does the Pavilion Master want to know?"

Fairy Jianyun did not answer. She raised her hand, and the long sword on her back unsheathed. The sword body hummed, and Sword Intent soared into the sky. "No matter what method it is, stay here today."

She slashed out with her sword. The sword light was like a rainbow, slashing down at Su Yun's head!

Su Yun did not retreat but advanced instead. Ice-blue and blood-red light intertwined around his body as he threw a punch!

Boom! The sword light exploded, and waves of energy surged.

A trace of surprise flashed in Fairy Jianyun's eyes. "You have some skills."

She swung her sword again, and the sword light turned into shadows of swords filling the sky, enveloping him.

Su Yun used both hands, striking with fists and palms in succession. The two fought fiercely in front of the great hall, sword light and fist energy colliding, and waves of energy surging.

Lin Qingshuang and Lin Qingxue retreated far away, their faces pale.

After fighting for half an incense stick of time, Fairy Jianyun became increasingly shocked. The strength of this Peak Golden Core Stage cultivator was far stronger than she had expected. She was at the Late Nascent Soul Stage and went all out, yet she could not take him down?

What was even more terrifying was that it seemed as if two terrifying forces were bolstering him from within his body, making him stronger the more he fought.

Due to a moment of negligence, Su Yun's palm was already in front of her. She swung her sword to block.

Bang! The long sword flew out of her hand. Su Yun's other hand was already pressed against her forehead. A golden light flashed.

[Enslavement successful] [Obtained new slave: Fairy Jianyun, Loyalty 47] [Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a portion of spiritual power feedback from Enslavement; cultivation has greatly improved]

Fairy Jianyun's body stiffened, and the Battle Intent in her eyes gradually turned into confusion. She looked at Su Yun, her lips moving. "Master"

Su Yun withdrew his hand. Within his Dantian, the feedback spiritual power of the Late Nascent Soul Stage surged in like a tide. He closed his eyes, feeling the rise of his cultivation. The Peak Golden Core Stage had advanced a large step forward. Only a thin barrier remained from the Nascent Soul Stage.

He opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Jianyun. "Gather all the female cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion."

Fairy Jianyun nodded and turned to leave.

A moment later, nearly a hundred female cultivators stood before the hall. From the Nascent Soul Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, all wearing uniform white sword robes, each looking heroic.

Su Yun walked down the steps. He walked to the first female cultivator. She was a woman at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, in her early thirties, with a cold and clear face. Su Yun raised his hand and pressed a finger to her forehead. A golden light flashed.

[Enslavement successful] [Obtained new slave: Jian Xin, Loyalty 54] [Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a portion of spiritual power feedback from Enslavement; cultivation stabilized]

The second. The third. The fourth. He pointed at them one after another. Golden Core Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Nascent Soul Stage. Nearly a hundred female cultivators, all subdued.

Within his Dantian, the feedback spiritual power poured in continuously. Although each stream was not much, nearly a hundred streams gathered together, and the amount was very considerable.

Su Yun closed his eyes. He felt that the barrier leading to the Nascent Soul Stage had already begun to loosen. Just a little more. Just the final bit.

He opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Jianyun. "From today on, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion will remain the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. Do what you usually do. If anyone from the Immortal Alliance comes, you know what to say."

Fairy Jianyun lowered her head. "This subordinate understands."

Su Yun nodded. He turned and walked towards the mountain gate. Walking to the entrance, he suddenly stopped. He turned and glanced at those female cultivators. They stood under the moonlight, white robes like snow, their gazes following him.

He smiled. "I will come again in a while."

After speaking, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the night sky.

Behind him, Fairy Jianyun stood where she was, her expression complex. She looked in that direction and did not move for a long time.

Lin Qingshuang walked to her side. "Pavilion Master"

Fairy Jianyun shook her head. "Just call me Senior Sister from now on. From today, we all belong to Master."

Lin Qingshuang nodded. Moonlight spilled down, and Sword Mountain was silent. Those white-robed female cultivators stood in place, watching that direction. A new era had begun.
