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

Ye Yun still felt that Nangong Jiutian's behavior was a bit too exaggerated.

Although I was a bit tired before, it shouldn't be this bad, right?

After completing the request for help, Nangong Jiutian quickly explained to him.

"Boy, then I'll take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun responded.

"No problem, senior, please rest first."

Anyway, this place is very safe, and the Ascension Sect certainly hasn't come after us.

According to Ye Yun's plan, he only needed to rest and recuperate here, and then go back to send a message later.

However, just as Nangong Jiutian stepped down and Ye Yun regained control of his body...

"I say, senior, this isn't..."

Before Ye Yun could even utter a word, he felt a wave of fatigue, weakness, and pain wash over his entire body.

At this moment, Ye Yun felt as if his whole body had melted away, as if he no longer belonged to himself.

This negative state came on extremely quickly and was terrifying; Ye Yun couldn't even resist it.

"Damn it... what is this?"

Although I had previous experience, I would feel slightly weaker each time I was possessed by Nangong Jiutian.

But this negative state is so intense, it's the first time I've ever experienced it. I feel like I'm going to die here.

As a result, he collapsed to the ground almost instantly, curling up in a ball and trembling violently.

"I've already told you, but you still don't believe me."

Nangong Jiutian, appearing in his mind, let out a helpless sigh.

It's not hard to understand if you think about it. The other party was already quite weak because you had drained their yang energy.

In addition to what happened before, he was also possessed and had his soul searched by the leader of the Ascension Cult.

Although it was unsuccessful, everything affected Ye Yun, and his weakened state continued to accumulate.

Until recently, she possessed Ye Yun's body and forcibly used her Emperor-level combat power.

This further amplified the wear and tear on Ye Yun's physical body.

When Nangong Jiutian possessed him, he was able to withstand it thanks to his powerful profound energy and even his divine soul.

But Ye Yun was just a Dao Building cultivator, and his spiritual strength was far inferior to hers.

As expected, once she withdrew from the possessed state, a strong sense of weakness immediately overwhelmed Ye Yun.

"It's over..."

Ye Yun curled up on the ground, feeling as if her entire consciousness was being emptied.

These two words were his final thought.

Then... he completely lost consciousness.

……

I don't know how much time has passed.

Ye Yun felt as if he had woken up in a chaotic, undeveloped void.

When he opened his eyes, he looked around and asked a question full of doubt.

"Strange, where is this place?"

There was nothing around, as if it were just a chaotic space.

However, within this void, crimson power was rapidly gathering.

They transformed into a petite, red-haired female cultivator, staring at him with icy eyes.

Upon seeing this person, Ye Yun felt completely unwell.

"The Ascension Cult Leader?!"

The person who appeared before them was none other than the Ascension Cult Leader they had encountered earlier.

At this moment, the red-haired female cultivator gave him a serious expression.

"Ye Yun! Let's see who's going to help you now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the petite, stunningly beautiful red-haired female cultivator transformed into a blood tide and rushed towards him!

A powerful threat of death instantly enveloped Ye Yun's mind and body.

"not good!"

Ye Yun wanted to do something, and even wanted to resist.

But I felt as if my whole body was imprisoned.

It turned out to be those blood-red threads, which completely bound him in place.

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move an inch.

He could only watch helplessly as the surging tide of blood rushed towards him.

"Ye Yun, prepare to die!"

Amidst the waves, one could faintly hear the angry roar of the Ascension Cult Leader.

And the sound of Ye Yun struggling with all his might, breathing heavily.

"No, I can't die! I must live!"

Ye Yun, relying on his strong will, tried to break free from this crimson wave.

"Break it!"

Ye Yun's expression was ferocious as he roared, like the roar of a king.

At that very moment, amidst the chaos, a golden light suddenly emanated.

Like a sun rising overhead, it was a golden cauldron, or rather, a furnace of creation!

With its appearance, the entire chaotic darkness was illuminated, and evil spirits were dispelled.

The crimson wave that had surged forward dissipated like smoke.

At the same time, Ye Yun suddenly sat up.

Only then did they realize that the surrounding chaos had disappeared.

Instead, he found himself in a room that was somewhat familiar yet quite unfamiliar.

At this moment, he was still in a daze due to what had just happened.

"Where am I?"

At this moment, he is facing three major life questions.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

The moment Ye Yun sat up, a surprised voice came from beside him.

"Junior brother, you're finally awake!"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Yun instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

He then noticed that Si Ruyin and Qian Rou were sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with surprise and delight.

The person who spoke just now was Si Ruyin, who was standing nearby.

As for Qianrou beside her, she immediately got up excitedly and rushed out after Ye Yun woke up.

"Junior brother! Senior! Come quick! Junior brother Ye is awake!"

Hearing the other party's movements, they were so excited they were practically banging drums and gongs to announce their awakening.

Ye Yun's consciousness gradually became clearer.

Just then, Si Ruyin rushed up and hugged him tightly, her voice still somewhat excited.

"Junior brother, I'm so glad you're alright!"

As she spoke, a tear of emotion even appeared in the corner of her eye.

He seemed very excited and happy to be awake.

Looking at Si Ruyin, who was filled with excitement, in his arms.

He gently rubbed his aching head and asked Si Ruyin beside him with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong with me?..."

Seeing this, Si Ruyin helped him up and quickly said.

"Junior brother, don't get up yet. Master and the others will be here soon. They will tell you what happened then."

"Master and the others?"

Ye Yun was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

But soon he understood what it meant.

Not long after Qianrou left, hurried footsteps sounded.

Soon the door was pushed open, and some familiar figures walked in.

This includes Master Bai Liuli, Empress Yunxiao, Zhixing, and even Luo Meng from the Moon Wheel Holy Land.

Upon seeing them, Ye Yun was momentarily stunned.

"Oh, you're all here."

Everyone who saw Ye Yun wake up visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You little rascal, you're finally awake."

Luo Meng, who was among the group, looked at him and sighed.

"You have no idea how scared we were these past two or three days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Wait, two or three days? I've slept for that long?"

In his mind, he had simply had a good night's sleep.

But it's been so long already?

In response, the nearby Cloud Empress offered a calm explanation.

"To be precise, you weren't asleep, but rather you were unconscious for three days and three nights."

After all, Ye Yun's previous state could hardly be described as being asleep.

This surprised Ye Yun, who couldn't help but ask.

"So... what exactly happened to me?"

"You're asking us that?"

Bai Liuli, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and asked.

"Back then, when you suddenly asked for help in the Wutong Mountains, it was only because Fellow Daoist Luo Meng of the Zhixing River happened to be passing by that we were able to help you."

"By now, you may have already fed the wolves in the mountains."

"But what about you? How did you end up unconscious in that kind of place, and your body was so exhausted that you could die at any moment?"

Ye Yun was extremely surprised by this.

He glanced at Zhixing and Luomeng, and asked in surprise.

"Seniors, is that really true?"

"Yes, that's right."

Luo Meng nodded and hummed softly.

"At that time, I was planning with Fellow Daoist Zhixing to besiege a group of evil cultivators from the Ascension Sect."

"Right after the fight, I found you unconscious in a nearby cave."

To be honest, it really startled her at the time.

Ye Yun was of paramount importance to his own holy land and even to the allied forces.

Suddenly, he lay in a cave like a corpse.

She still thought Ye Yun had been killed by some unknown guy.

Fortunately, upon closer inspection, they discovered that the other person was still breathing, although their body was extremely weak.

"So that's how it is."

Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought, then smiled at the two of them.

"It seems we really are destined to meet."

"hehe……"

Luo Meng rolled her eyes at him.

"That's truly a wonderful coincidence."

Ye Yun simply smiled at her eye roll.

But suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

He glanced around and asked, puzzled.

"Wait, where am I now?"

"Of course, it's in Cloud City."

Bai Liuli looked at him and explained calmly.

"When they saw you, the two fellow Daoists brought you back immediately and attached great importance to you."

At this moment, Zhixing nodded and stared at him, asking a question.

"So, what exactly happened to you, Young Master Ye?"

They all looked at him with curiosity.

Ye Yun frowned slightly, but soon, some past memories flooded his mind.

He paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Um... I think I was ordered to infiltrate the headquarters of the Ascension Cult, and then... oh right, and then I..."

As Ye Yun gradually recounted his story, he recalled what had happened before.

Immediately, he felt a surge of relief.

My experience this time was truly dangerous, even thrilling!

"And then what?"

Just then, Empress Yunxiao stared at him and asked.

"Now you should tell me what happened during this infiltration, right?"

Since Ye Yun had been unconscious since returning, they didn't even know whether his infiltration had been successful.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun looked at the group of people in front of him and smiled.

"No problem, then I'll tell the seniors."

These are all our own people, so there's no need to hide anything.

"At the time, I infiltrated them smoothly as Ling Ruoyu and then saw what was inside."

These words immediately drew the attention of the women.

Empress Yunxiao immediately asked.

"So, that really is the headquarters of the Ascension Cult?"

"Hmm, it's pretty much a done deal."

Ye Yun nodded and took a deep breath.

"The security inside is absolutely insane, it's a whopping..."

He explained to the group the staffing configuration of the Ascension Sect headquarters.

After hearing this, everyone was truly taken aback.

Although somewhat expected, this will be a tough nut to crack.

But I never expected it to be so tough to crack, it's practically equivalent to the combat power of more than two holy land-level forces.

Without a doubt, if the subsequent battles are not controlled, they will cause huge losses to the allied forces.

"If that's the case, then we really have to thank you for your information."

After hearing this, Zhixing said with some emotion.

If they were completely unaware of this and directly sent out a team of cultivators, they would likely suffer a great loss at the headquarters of the Ascension Sect.

The others also expressed their approval.

Among them, Empress Yunxiao asked curiously.

"So, how did you get into this state?"

Clearly, this is the key point.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and sighed.

"It's very simple, because later on, the Ascension Cult Leader discovered my identity inside."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

The women opened their mouths, seemingly in disbelief.

"We've been discovered?"

Bai Liuli frowned and immediately asked.

"Tell me what happened!"

The others also became curious.

Even at the headquarters of the Ascension Sect, with the sect leader still present.

How did Ye Yun manage to escape unscathed after his identity was exposed?

Well, that's a long story.

Feeling the gazes directed at him, Ye Yun scratched his head and explained.

"It was like this..."

After that, Ye Yun recounted the whole story in its entirety.

If there's any difference from reality, it might only be the treatment of Nangong Jiutian.

Because it was necessary to keep Nangong Jiutian's existence a secret, Ye Yun simply hid it.

In order to cover things up, Ye Yun directly brought out another alias.

He only mentioned that he had a life-saving method given to him by the senior "Nangong".

When the Ascension Cult Leader failed to possess him and search his soul, and was about to kill him, he was saved by this method.

Later, he was taken out of the Ascension Sect headquarters and taken to a cave where he fainted.

The matter is not complicated at all; in fact, it's quite simple.

But after hearing it, everyone present felt somewhat incredulous.

"Hey kid, are you hiding something?"

Luo Meng was the most wary of him, looking at him suspiciously.

"Cough cough, how could that be!"

Ye Yun coughed lightly, appearing as if he absolutely hadn't.

Upon seeing this, Luo Meng raised an eyebrow.

"But I still wonder, what methods did you use to escape from an Emperor-level expert?"

"That's not something I can say."

Ye Yun shrugged, a meaningful expression on his face.

"That senior colleague warned me to keep this a secret, so I'm sorry..."

This answer is indeed logically sound.

The problem is that no one can find the senior Ye Yun mentioned and verify what he said.

"Fine, since you can't say, then there's no need to force it."

Empress Yunxiao waved her hand and said calmly.

"In short, Young Master Ye, your return alive and bringing back important intelligence is already a great achievement!"

"Once this is all over, I will definitely give you a reward and compensation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled and said.

"Alright, then this junior will not stand on ceremony."

Ye Yun never refuses any benefits that are offered to her.

The others, after hearing Ye Yun's story, were mostly relieved.

If what they said is true, then this was truly a near-death experience.

Bai Liuli took a deep breath and said to him.

"My disciple, you must never take such a risk again."

"understood."

Ye Yun immediately nodded and said with utmost sincerity.

"I promise I will never take such a risk again!"

If I had said that before, it might have carried a somewhat perfunctory tone.

This time, it's absolutely sincere!

It's probably what they mean by "you can't learn by being taught, but you can learn by doing."

After his near-death experience at the Ascension Sect headquarters, Ye Yun understood the importance of thorough preparation.

If you keep going all in and gambling on probability, you'll eventually ruin yourself.

"Hmm, that's more like it."

Bai Liuli was very satisfied with Ye Yun's attitude.

It seems this incident has had a significant impact on him.

After sharing his experiences.

Ye Yun suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, I was unconscious for three days and three nights?"

By now, including the time I've spent traveling, four days should have passed.

Immediately, he looked at Empress Yunxiao beside him and asked.

"Senior, have you... completed all the preparations to break the formation within the Wutong Mountains?"

He hadn't forgotten this extremely important matter.

Especially after witnessing the profound strength of the Ascension Sect, Ye Yun became even more determined to break the formation before annihilating it.

Otherwise, with the support of the formation, even just those people at the Ascension Sect headquarters could inflict huge losses on the allied forces.

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao immediately replied.

"Yes, the array materials and preparations that Young Master Ye mentioned are all ready in the Wutong Mountains."

"Afterwards, Young Master Ye only needs to go there once to complete the formation."

Since Ye Yun did not mention the specific method for constructing the formation.

Therefore, we still need Ye Yun's help to take this crucial step.

Upon hearing that everything was ready, Ye Yun immediately perked up.

"Ready? Then what are you waiting for!"

At this moment, Ye Yun looked like he couldn't wait.

He even sat up straight in bed, ready to get off.

"I'll go over there right away and set up the formation!"

Seeing his actions, the group was startled.

Even Empress Yunxiao offered a concerned reminder.

"Young Master Ye, there's no need to be in such a hurry. The battle hasn't reached its most crucial stage yet."

"You should focus on recovering from your injuries for now. It won't be too late to set up the formation in a couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun shook his head.

"No, absolutely not!"

"These next two days are extremely crucial!"

"If we miss this window, I fear there will be problems with the subsequent actions."

This warning made Empress Yunxiao frown.

And soon, she realized what Ye Yun's concerns were.

"Young Master Ye, are you worried that those guys will escape?"

"That's right."

Ye Yun immediately nodded and said seriously.

"The leader of the Ascension Cult must already know that their headquarters location has been exposed."

"We even know their cultivation level."

"There will definitely be follow-up arrangements in the next few days; they may already be preparing to move to another location."

"I believe we must preemptively launch a decisive battle against the Ascension Sect before that happens!"

"Otherwise, once the Ascension Sect completes its relocation, the situation will return to its original state."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, seemingly agreeing with the statement.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Empress Yunxiao agreed.

"Yes...that's true."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Yun and asked with concern.

"But the key question is... can your body handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately got out of bed and smiled at him.

"It's not a big problem. I can still move around. I'll take some more pills later, and that should be enough to recover before we arrive."

Hearing this, Empress Yunxiao felt slightly relieved.

Just then, Bai Liuli, who was standing next to her, immediately spoke up.

"If you really want to go, I will go with you."

Luo Meng and Zhi Xing also spoke up.

"We'll go with you too."

This was not only to protect Ye Yun, but also to get back to the front lines as soon as possible.

Even the Cloud Empress pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I'll personally take you there."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Good heavens, the Empress herself is escorting us?

Putting everything else aside, the sheer extravagance is off the charts.

He had barely finished speaking when Ye Yun flatly rejected him.

"No need, Master and the others can come with me."

Ye Yun glanced at Empress Yunxiao and said seriously.

"For seniors, the most important thing is to keep a low profile."

"Afterwards, we're still waiting for you, senior, to give the Ascension Sect a big surprise."

Upon hearing this, Empress Yunxiao pondered for a moment.

Ye Yun's so-called concealment of herself clearly refers to her recovery of cultivation.

Indeed, she was still staying in the city lord's mansion, keeping to herself, which was the best way to make the Ascension Sect suspect that she was still injured.

"Okay, then that's settled."

Empress Yunxiao glanced at the people present.

"Peak Master Bai, Elder Luo, and Zhixing, I'll trouble the three of you to escort Young Master Ye this time."

In fact, she didn't even need to explain; the three people present would have protected Ye Yun on their own initiative.

Among them, Zhixing said with a serious expression.

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, whoever wants to harm Young Master Ye will have to step over my dead body first!"

These powerful words left Ye Yun speechless, and he waved his hand repeatedly.

"It's not that bad, it's not that bad... It's better to avoid encountering something like this."

In Ye Yun's opinion, it's better not to set such a death flag.

"Well, you're right..."

Zhixing thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

After some discussion, Ye Yun also came up with a new goal.

That is, under the escort of his master and others, he returned to the Wutong Mountains to complete the formation that severed the power of the earth's veins.

"Young Master Ye, once you have successfully set up the formation and broken the formation of the Wutong Mountain Range, you can send a message directly."

Empress Yunxiao looked at him and said solemnly.

"Before that, I will first assemble the entire allied forces."

"At that time, I will launch a full-scale war and try my best not to give the Ascension Sect a chance to escape."

It can be said that Ye Yun has the entire coalition of cultivators under his control.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled and nodded.

"No problem, senior, just wait for my good news."

After explaining everything, Ye Yun left under the protection of his three masters.

Inside the room, Si Ruyin and Qian Rou, who remained, were filled with sighs of admiration.

They watched Ye Yun and the group of seniors leave, and couldn't help but sigh.

"My junior brother... he has truly grown to the point where we can only look at his back from afar."

It was not long ago, no, only six months ago.

The other party is still a junior brother who needs my care.

Now, after six months, it has grown into a towering tree.

In response to Qian Rou's sentiments, Si Ruyin took a deep breath and said.

"It's okay, one day we'll definitely catch up with our junior brother!"

Upon hearing this, Qianrou nodded.

"Hmm... I hope so."
