Chapter 125: Nascent Soul in Sight

After returning from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Su Yun went into seclusion in Qinghe City for five days.

He locked himself in the study and refused to see anyone. Zhou Ruoyun would lie by the door listening for movement every day, but could hear nothing. The meals Shen Ying delivered were left untouched at the door every time.

On the evening of the fifth day, the door of the study finally opened.

Su Yun walked out, his expression as usual.

Zhou Ruoyun was the first to pounce on him.

"Brother Su, you've finally come out!"

Su Yun ruffled her hair.

"I've made you worry."

Zhou Ruoyun shook her head and buried her face in his chest.

Su Yun looked at Shen Ying.

"Has anything happened in the past few days?"

Shen Ying replied:

"Fairy Ziyun came twice, saying that the Materials for Alchemy are running low. Lie Yunyan also came, saying that the effect of tempering the Meridians for those Golden Core female cultivators is very good, and asked if it should continue. Zhou Yuanshuang said that everything is normal in Luoyun City, with no movement."

Su Yun nodded.

"Have Fairy Ziyun make a list and send people to collect the Materials. Continue with what Lie Yunyan is doing. Zhou Yuanshuang should keep watching."

Shen Ying agreed.

Su Yun walked to the stone table and sat down.

He closed his eyes and looked into his Dantian.

That Nine-Striped Nine-Colored Golden Core was floating quietly, having grown a bit larger than before. The surface of the Golden Core was flowing with light, nine colors intertwined, dazzlingly beautiful.

He could clearly feel that the barrier leading to the Nascent Soul Stage was already as thin as a sheet of paper.

It could be broken through at any time.

But he was not in a hurry to make the Breakthrough.

He wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity.

For example, the next Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivator to deliver themselves to his doorstep.

As he was thinking this, Hu Meiniang walked in from outside.

"Master, Junior Martial Uncle Liu has sent a message back."

Su Yun opened his eyes.

"Speak."

Hu Meiniang said:

"The Immortal Alliance knows that Master has taken over the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and they have completely exploded with rage. The Seven Great Immortal Sects held another emergency meeting, and the argument was even fiercer this time. Yuxu Palace advocates eliminating Master at all costs, the envoys from the Hehuan Sect and the Heavenly Sword Pavilion remained silent, and the other sects have an ambiguous attitude."

She paused and continued:

"In the end, they decided to send a real coalition army. Yuxu Palace, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and the Hehuan Sect will each send one Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, plus twenty Early/Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and fifty Peak Golden Core cultivators to directly crush Qinghe City."

Su Yun laughed after hearing this.

"Three Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, twenty Early/Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, fifty Peak Golden Core cultivators. What a grand display."

Hu Meiniang was a little worried.

"Master, there are too many people coming this time. Can you handle it alone?"

Su Yun looked at her.

"Who said I would handle it alone?"

Hu Meiniang was stunned.

Su Yun stood up and walked to the center of the courtyard.

"Have Fairy Jianyun bring people over. Have Fairy Ziyun, Fairy Shuiyun, and Lie Yunyan all bring their people over. Have all female cultivators above the Golden Core stage gather in Qinghe City."

He looked at Hu Meiniang.

"This time, let them see who really has the larger force."

Hu Meiniang's eyes lit up, and she turned to send the message.

Over the next three days, Qinghe City became lively again.

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion arrived. Fairy Jianyun led the team personally, followed by over fifty female cultivators above the Golden Core stage, all dressed in white as snow, looking heroic and spirited.

Ziyun Valley arrived. Fairy Ziyun brought over thirty female cultivators above the Golden Core stage, dressed in colorful clothes, each with a different temperament.

The Xuanshui Sect arrived. Fairy Shuiyun brought over twenty female cultivators above the Golden Core stage, all in water-blue, with uniformly cold expressions.

The Tianhuo Sect arrived. Lie Yunyan brought over a dozen female cultivators above the Golden Core stage, flames flowing around their bodies, passionate like fire.

Adding those already in Qinghe City, nearly two hundred female cultivators above the Golden Core stage gathered outside the city.

There were over a dozen at the Nascent Soul Stage, over thirty at the Peak Golden Core Stage, and the rest were at the Early/Middle Golden Core Stage.

Su Yun stood on the city wall, looking at the people below, and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhou Yuanshuang walked to his side.

"Master, everything has been arranged. Those at the Nascent Soul Stage are in the front, those at the Peak Golden Core Stage are in the back, and the others are responsible for support."

Su Yun gave an "en" sound of acknowledgement.

"When will they arrive?"

Zhou Yuanshuang said:

"According to the news, tomorrow evening."

Tomorrow evening.

Su Yun looked into the distance.

There, a great battle was waiting for him.

But he was not nervous.

Instead, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

The next evening.

A dense sound of breaking through the air came from the horizon.

Su Yun stood on the city wall and looked up.

The distant sky was covered by escape lights, with at least a hundred figures.

The three in the lead were two women and one man.

The woman on the left was in green, with a cold expression; it was none other than Fairy Jianyun of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. But she was standing on the opposite side at this moment, her expression complex.

The woman on the right was in red, bewitching and charming; she was another Elder of the Hehuan Sect, named Liu Rumen.

The male cultivator in the middle was in a black Daoist robe with a sinister face; it was the Grand Elder of Yuxu Palace, Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong.

Behind them followed twenty Early/Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivators and fifty Peak Golden Core cultivators, full of aggressive Aura.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong looked at Su Yun on the city wall and sneered.

"Su Yun, today is the day you die."

Su Yun laughed.

"Is that so?"

He raised his hand.

Below the city, nearly two hundred figures soared into the air simultaneously.

Fairy Jianyun, Fairy Ziyun, Fairy Shuiyun, Lie Yunyan, Zhou Yuanshuang, Zhou Yuanmin, Lin Qingshuang, Lin Qingxue, Liu Qingyan…

They hovered behind Su Yun, their colorful clothes fluttering in the wind.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong's expression changed.

"Jianyun, you…"

Fairy Jianyun looked at him, her gaze calm.

"Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong, from today on, I am no longer your friend."

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong's face turned livid.

He looked at Liu Rumen.

Liu Rumen's face was also pale.

Because she also saw Liu Qingyan standing behind Su Yun, looking respectful.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong took a deep breath.

"Good, very good. It seems you have all been controlled by him."

He raised his hand, and a pitch-black longsword appeared in his palm.

"Then let's kill you all together!"

He swung his sword and rushed towards Su Yun!

Those behind him followed and rushed up.

Su Yun also raised his hand.

"Attack!"

Two torrents collided.

Sword lights and Spells exploded, and air waves surged.

Su Yun did not move.

He stood in place, watching Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong rush towards him.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong reached him and slashed down with his sword!

Su Yun raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

Bang!

Both retreated at the same time.

A hint of surprise flashed in Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong's eyes.

"You…"

Su Yun did not give him a chance to speak.

He pressed forward, throwing both punches and palms.

The two fought fiercely on the city wall.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong became more and more alarmed as they fought.

The strength of this Peak Golden Core cultivator was far stronger than he had expected. He was at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and even with his full strength, he could not gain any advantage.

What was even more terrifying was that there seemed to be two terrifying forces in his body, making him stronger the more he fought.

After fifty moves, Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong began to feel the strain.

Su Yun seized an opening and struck his chest with a palm.

Puff!

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

He smashed into the ground, struggling to crawl up.

Su Yun was already standing in front of him.

"You… you…"

Su Yun raised his hand.

He struck down with a palm.

Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong stared wide-eyed and slowly fell to the ground.

Su Yun turned to look at the battlefield.

Seeing that Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong was dead, the morale of the coalition army plummeted.

Coupled with the defection of Fairy Jianyun and the others, they were quickly defeated.

The women were spared, and the men were killed.

Half an hour later, the battle ended.

Standing before Su Yun were over thirty newly recruited female cultivators.

All were above the Golden Core stage, and a few were at the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

He pointed at them one by one.

Golden light flashed one after another.

Inside his Dantian, the feeding-back spiritual energy surged like a tide.

He closed his eyes.

The barrier leading to the Nascent Soul Stage was finally broken through.

Boom!

An unprecedented force exploded in his body.

Su Yun opened his eyes.

In his pupils, a nine-colored divine light flashed and disappeared.

Nascent Soul.

Finally reached.
