Chapter 127: The Immortal Alliance Trembles

When the news of the Hehuan Sect's surrender reached the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, the entire conference hall fell into a deathly silence.

The representatives of the Seven Great Immortal Sects sat around a massive circular table, each of them looking grim.

The seat for Yuxu Palace was empty; their Grand Elder, Supreme Elder Zhou Yuankong, was dead, and they hadn't even managed to recover his body.

The seat for the Heavenly Sword Pavilion was also empty; Fairy Jianyun's betrayal had caught everyone off guard.

The seat for the Hehuan Sect was likewise empty; Liu Ruyan had taken the entire Sect and defected to that man.

Only the representatives of the four remaining Sects were left to stare at one another.

The Sect Master of the Xuanyang Sect spoke first, his voice hoarse.

"In three months, four Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators have died, along with over thirty Early and Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, and more than two hundred Golden Core Stage Cultivators. Everyone, must we continue to send them to their deaths?"

No one answered.

The Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley was a middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance, her brows furrowed at this moment.

"What exactly is the background of that Su Yun? A Golden Core Stage Cultivator, breaking through two levels in three months, and now he is already in the Early Nascent Soul Stage. Such a speed of Cultivate is unheard of."

The Master of the Purple Mansion let out a cold snort.

"Regardless of his background, if this continues, the entire Central Region will have to change its surname to Su."

The Villa Master of the Divine Weapon Villa was a rough-looking man; he tapped the table.

"Then tell me, what should we do? We can't beat him, but we can't just do nothing either. If we add our four Sects together, we still have six Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, over thirty Early and Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, and several hundred Golden Core Stage Cultivators. If we really fight to the death, we might not lose."

The Master of the Purple Mansion shook his head.

"It's not a question of winning or losing. It's about morale. Haven't you noticed? Every time we send people out, all the female Cultivators are taken by him, and all the male Cultivators die. Now, the female Disciple of every Sect are in a panic. Who still dares to go to war?"

The Sect Master of the Xuanyang Sect sighed.

"So what? We just admit defeat like this?"

Silence.

The Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley suddenly spoke.

"I heard that he never kills female Cultivators. Moreover, after those female Cultivators are subdued by him, their Cultivate levels all increase. Liu Ruyan of the Hehuan Sect was stuck at the Late Nascent Soul Stage for two hundred years, but after following him, she actually began to have a Breakthrough."

The Master of the Purple Mansion looked at her.

"What do you mean? Do you want to surrender?"

The Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley shook her head.

"I'm just wondering if we've been going in the wrong direction from the very beginning. The purpose of the Immortal Alliance is to maintain order in the Central Region, not to fight to the death with one person. If he is willing to join the Immortal Alliance…"

"Impossible." The Villa Master of the Divine Weapon Villa interrupted her. "He has killed so many people; Yuxu Palace will not agree."

The Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley said calmly:

"Does Yuxu Palace still have the right to speak now?"

No one refuted this.

The conference hall fell into silence once again.

Qinghe City.

Su Yun sat in the courtyard, holding a piece of intelligence that had just been delivered.

Hu Meiniang stood before him, continuing her report.

"The Immortal Alliance has been arguing for several days, and they finally decided to send someone to negotiate first. The person they sent is the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley; her name is Valley Master Su Yao. She is at the Peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage and is proficient in Alchemy and medicine. It is said that she herself does not want to fight; the other Sects forced her to come."

Su Yun put down the intelligence.

"Su Yao? She shares my surname."

Hu Meiniang smiled.

"Perhaps you were from the same family five hundred years ago."

Su Yun also smiled.

"When will she arrive?"

Hu Meiniang said:

"Tomorrow."

Su Yun nodded.

"Prepare for it, and receive her well."

The next day at noon.

A pale green figure landed outside Qinghe City.

It was a woman, looking to be in her early forties, with a gentle appearance and a soft temperament. She wore a long green dress, with a Medicinal Pill gourd hanging from her waist, and her aura was deep yet not overbearing.

Valley Master Su Yao.

Su Yun stood at the city gate, watching her land.

"Valley Master Su, I have long admired you."

Valley Master Su Yao looked at this young man, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.

"Young Master Su, I have long admired you."

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Su Yun turned to the side to let her pass.

"Please."

Valley Master Su Yao followed him into the city.

Along the way, she saw many female Cultivators walking on the streets. Some were at the Golden Core Stage, some at the Nascent Soul Stage, wearing various dresses, looking relaxed, chatting and laughing.

When they saw Su Yun, they stopped one after another to salute.

"Master."

Su Yun nodded in response.

Valley Master Su Yao watched all this silently.

Walking into the courtyard, Su Yun sat down by the stone table.

Valley Master Su Yao sat down opposite him.

Zhou Ruoyun brought tea and obediently retreated to the side.

Su Yun looked at her.

"The Immortal Alliance sent you here; what do you want to talk about?"

Valley Master Su Yao was silent for a moment.

"They want you to join the Immortal Alliance."

Su Yun smiled.

"Join the Immortal Alliance? What conditions are they offering me?"

Valley Master Su Yao said:

"A Guest Elder position, with status equal to a Sect Master. Every year, you will be provided with Spirit Stone and Medicinal Pill, and you can choose any mountain in the Central Region to be your Immortal Cave."

Su Yun picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Is that all?"

Valley Master Su Yao looked at him.

"What do you want?"

Su Yun put down the teacup.

"I want the Immortal Alliance to dissolve."

Valley Master Su Yao's expression changed.

Su Yun continued:

"The Immortal Alliance has existed for too long. The Seven Great Immortal Sects control the Central Region, bully Loose Cultivator, and enslave Mortal. Such an organization should not exist."

Valley Master Su Yao was silent for a long time.

"You are one person, fighting against the entire Immortal Alliance; do you think you can win?"

Su Yun smiled.

"Do you think I have ever lost?"

Valley Master Su Yao could not speak.

Indeed, from the beginning until now, this person had never lost.

She sighed.

"How do you expect me to go back and report this?"

Su Yun looked at her.

"No need to go back. Stay here."

Valley Master Su Yao was stunned.

Su Yun stood up and walked over to her.

"How long have you been stuck at the Late Nascent Soul Stage?"

Valley Master Su Yao said:

"Three hundred years."

Su Yun nodded.

"I will help you Breakthrough. You stay here and help me with Alchemy."

Valley Master Su Yao looked at him, a trace of struggle flashing in her eyes.

Su Yun raised his hand and pointed at her glabella.

A golden light flashed.

"Enslavement successful."

"Obtained new slave: Valley Master Su Yao. Loyalty: 51."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining partial spiritual power feedback from Enslavement; Cultivate has greatly improved."

Valley Master Su Yao's body stiffened, and the struggle in her eyes gradually turned into obedience.

She lowered her head.

"Master."

Su Yun withdrew his hand.

Within his Dantian, the feedback spiritual power from the Late Nascent Soul Stage surged in like a tide.

He closed his eyes, feeling his Cultivate level climb.

Peak of the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

He was only one step away from the Mid Nascent Soul Stage.

He opened his eyes and looked at Valley Master Su Yao.

"What about the people you brought?"

Valley Master Su Yao said:

"I brought twenty Golden Core Disciple, all female Cultivators; they are waiting outside the city."

Su Yun nodded.

"Let them in."

Half an hour later.

Twenty Golden Core female Cultivators stood in the courtyard.

Su Yun pointed at them one by one.

Golden lights flashed one after another.

In his Dantian, the feedback spiritual power surged in again.

He closed his eyes.

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

Boom!

An even more powerful force exploded within his body.

Su Yun opened his eyes.

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

Mid Nascent Soul Stage.

He looked down at his hands.

In his palms, power was surging, more than twice as strong as before.

He looked at Valley Master Su Yao.

"How do you plan to report back to the Immortal Alliance?"

Valley Master Su Yao thought for a moment.

"Just say that Master is unwilling to join, but has not refused either. Let them continue to send people to negotiate."

Su Yun smiled.

"Smart."

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

The moonlight spilled down, shining on him.

In the distance, in the direction of the Immortal Alliance headquarters, the lights were bright.

He knew that those people would not give up easily.

But he was not afraid.

No matter how many come, he will take them all as subordinates.
