A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

In response to Hong Xian'er's question, Ye Yun pondered for a moment before replying.

"I think... this Empress Yunxiao is really here for cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er asked in surprise.

"Oh? Why?"

Ye Yun shrugged and said calmly.

"I bet that guy wouldn't dare offend both our Ancient Holy Land and the Northern Continent Alliance at the same time."

"After all, judging from the way the Ascension Sect is acting, they don't want to be enemies with all of us at the same time."

If we only invite them from the ancient holy sites, is that malicious? I really can't say for sure.

However, if we add the Jian family of the Northern Continent Alliance, then the answer to this question leans more towards goodwill.

This answer made Hong Xian'er thoughtful.

"More or less... I think so too."

If it weren't for the two of them, who happened to be on a date in Wanmeng City, North Continent, it would have been a different story.

Ye Yun also happens to have a somewhat subtle relationship with Jian Qing'er.

Even if the Ascension Sect had truly offended the Sword Family, it wouldn't have led to an alliance between their Ancient Holy Land and the Sword Family.

The same principle applies to the actions of the Ascension Sect in the Azure Dragon Empire.

It can only be said that Ye Yun's arrival was too coincidental, and the Ascension Sect was just too unlucky.

It's as if history has always been on their side...

At this moment, Ye Yun looked at Hong Xian'er and smiled.

"How are you, Xian'er? Are you feeling more at ease now?"

"this……"

Hong Xian'er was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yes, it would certainly be more reassuring to have someone from the Jian family with us."

In this way, Ye Yun will have at least one more force to rely on if he really encounters danger.

Upon hearing her answer, Ye Yun smiled faintly.

"Perhaps, the people Empress Yunxiao invited this time are not just us and the Jian family."

"If that Empress truly intends to form an alliance to jointly fight against the Ascension Cult."

"The Azure Dragon Empire might also be invited."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er asked thoughtfully.

"That makes some sense, but what's the basis for it?"

Ye Yun spread his hands and chuckled.

"Based on? Of course, it's purely my guess."

"..."

Hong Xian'er fell silent for a moment.

After a while, she shook her head and said.

"In matters of this importance, it's best to avoid relying on speculation."

"Okay, I know, it was just a joke."

Ye Yun shrugged, looking unconvinced.

Afterwards, he looked at Hong Xian'er and smiled.

"Alright, now that all the unimportant things have been sorted out."

"Now, it's time to finish the remaining half of our journey."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er paused for a moment and couldn't help but take a step back.

She instinctively used her hand to shield the view in front of her.

"Wait, wasn't it all over?"

"Who said it's over?"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly and said quietly.

"My enthusiasm was only briefly interrupted; it's not over yet!"

"you……"

Before Hong Xian'er could finish her sentence, she was tackled to the ground by Ye Yun...

……

……

……

After their passionate encounter at the Holy Maiden's Palace, the two naturally went to sleep in the bedroom.

Ye Yun didn't return to Creation Peak until the morning of the next day.

On this day, Hei Tong was sparring with Xu Qingyan on the mountain.

Of course, the main purpose was for Xu Qingyan to spar with Hei Tong, improving her control over Xuan techniques.

Upon seeing Ye Yun return, the two stopped sparring.

Xu Qingyan immediately bowed.

"Welcome home, Master."

At this moment, Xu Qingyan was dressed in a maid outfit.

Beneath the black and white dress were snow-white silk stockings and black heeled shoes.

And she even performed a graceful, proper skirt-lifting gesture.

Seeing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but take another look.

"Qingyan, what's with your outfit...?"

To be honest, the scene before him gave him the feeling of being in a Western dream world.

Seeing Ye Yun's surprised expression, Xu Qingyan was very satisfied and looked up with a smile to explain.

"I heard that Master likes this kind of thing, so I specially ordered a set."

Undoubtedly, the origin of her outfit was mainly learned from Gu Linlang.

Ye Yun looked him up and down and nodded slightly.

"It's awful, but it's really good-looking."

I've seen too many ancient-style fairy-like figures on a daily basis.

It's nice to have something like this once in a while to change things up.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingyan smiled and bowed.

"Thank you for your praise, Master. It is my honor."

Now, Xu Qingyan has experienced many things.

He was completely loyal to Ye Yun.

It can be said that Ye Yun's current preferences are the guiding principles of her life.

"Alright, no need to be so polite."

Ye Yun shrugged, then turned his gaze to Hei Tong and asked with a smile.

"How have you been, Xiaotong?"

"My disciple is doing well."

Hei Tong responded, her large eyes staring intently at him.

"It's just that Master is never home and doesn't care about anyone, making me feel very lonely!"

At this moment, Kurohime looked pitiful.

Since becoming Ye Yun's disciple, I had originally hoped to cultivate alongside him.

As a result, she could only see her master once every ten days or half a month, and she felt like she had been abandoned.

Seeing this, Ye Yun felt helpless.

"this……"

He stepped forward and patted Black Eyes on the head to comfort him.

"This is indeed my fault, but I'm just too busy, and there are too many things that I need to solve."

"Don't worry, once this problem is resolved, I'll definitely take you on a proper tour."

Ye Yun naturally wanted to experience it too, traveling the world with his disciples and Daoist partner, roaming the land with his sword.

However, the existence of the Ascension Cult is like a Damocles' sword always hanging over our heads.

If this problem isn't resolved, I'll never be able to do anything with peace of mind.

Fortunately, Kurohime is not an ignorant person.

Hearing his words, he nodded.

"Then... it's a deal."

"certainly."

Ye Yun looked at her and smiled.

"I swear to you in the name of my master!"

"Okay, sure!"

Black Eyes still chose to believe in her master.

After all, she didn't really blame Ye Yun; she just wanted to get some attention.

Just then, Xu Qingyan spoke up.

"By the way, Master, here is a letter from Miss Han Yu."

Although Han Yu was only a Qi Condensation cultivator, he was nothing more than an ant in front of her.

The reason for addressing him in this way is entirely out of respect for Ye Yun, his master.

As she spoke, she handed over a secret letter.

Seeing this, Ye Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Oh? Let me see."

After taking it and glancing at it...

He immediately deduced that this was a letter from Cang Lan, so he opened it right away.

After examining the contents, Ye Yun's expression became somewhat strange.

"Wow, is my mouth blessed?"

The two women beside him were curious about his surprised expression.

Xu Qingyan naturally dared not ask anything.

Black Eyes, however, had fewer reservations and asked curiously.

"Master, what does this letter say?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised his head and gave a faint smile.

"Yes, they said something good."

"Good news?"

Black Eyes tilted his head, his face full of confusion.

Ye Yun's gaze quickly returned to the letter in his hand.

This document contains only one statement.

A few days ago, the Azure Dragon Empire received a secret letter from Cloud City in the Western Continent.

I hope to invite the Azure Dragon Empire, preferably the Azure Faction, to come to Cloud City to discuss important matters.

This means that things are just as he guessed in the Temple of the Holy Maiden.

"It seems... that what Cloud City is plotting is indeed related to the Ascension Sect."

Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought. After all, to call it a coincidence would be too much of a coincidence.

This is undoubtedly good news for him.

Of course, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that this is the Ascension Cult operating in reverse, for some kind of conspiracy.

But in any case, the scale of this banquet is getting bigger and bigger.

"Interesting, very interesting..."

Ye Yun's lips curled up slightly, and his desire to go to Xizhou became even stronger.

Given the current situation, the best course of action is to unite the forces of all the cities in the Western Continent.

Then came the Ancient Path Holy Land, the Moon Wheel Holy Land, the Northern Continent Alliance, and even the Azure Dragon Empire.

With the combined strength of the four continents, we will work together in the Western Continent to resolve the threat posed by the Ascension Sect.

Of course, Ye Yun's intuition told him that things probably wouldn't go so smoothly.

One point in particular is open to discussion.

Will the Western Continent really allow all the powerful figures from the other three continents to gather there?

From their perspective, if things go well, they'll find allies; if they go wrong, they'll be inviting trouble.

Even if we really manage to eliminate the Ascension Sect, it's not impossible that we'll be escaping one danger only to fall into another...

Thinking about this, Ye Yun suddenly felt that he seemed to have figured something out.

In other words, the Cloud Empress summoned them because...

……

After receiving the secret letter from the Azure Dragon Empire, Ye Yun immediately wrote two letters and sent them out.

One letter was addressed to Yue Rushuang of the Moon Wheel Holy Land, and the other to Cang Lan of the Azure Dragon Empire.

The former was to fulfill a promise and planned to take Yue Rushuang to Yunxiao City in Xizhou.

As for the latter's letter to Canglan, it indicated that he might also go to Cloud City.

In this way, if anything happens later, they can look out for each other.

As for the Sword Family of Beizhou, Hong Xian'er personally wrote a letter and sent it over by someone.

The message was simply that they hoped the envoy sent by the Jian family would be able to coexist peacefully with them and unite against external threats.

He also emphasized that Ye Yun might also go to Xizhou, and hoped that Ye Yun would lend a helping hand if he encountered any trouble.

In this way, the preparations before departure are complete.

"Qingyan, come with me on a trip in a few days."

Ye Yun glanced to the side and gave Xu Qingyan, who was grinding ink for him, some instructions.

Without saying a word, Xu Qingyan nodded respectfully.

"Yes, Master."

The reason for bringing her along was to make things easier.

If something unexpected happens and I'm overwhelmed, she might be able to be a great help.

Just like last time, if she hadn't been hiding in the shadows and activated Jin Liuli's teleportation scroll, she would have really been dead.

……

Three days later, the official delegation from the ancient holy land set off in a grand manner.

They will serve as the chief envoys of this ancient sacred road, going to pay homage to the Cloud Empress.

The next morning, Ye Yun, having made all the preparations, set off together with Xu Qingyan...
