Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

“I have my own power in the Eastern Wilderness. This power is currently in conflict with other powers. As the master of this power, I must go back to take charge of the situation,” Ye Liuyun replied solemnly.

When Xiao Qingxue heard that her mother was leaving, she burst into tears.

After all, her mother had gone into seclusion, and now her mother was leaving as well. This was the first time that Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were not by her side at the same time, so she naturally couldn't accept it.

"Hey? Don't cry, little girl. Your mom has some things to take care of, and your mother is in seclusion. Just stay here with your grandpa and grandma for a few days, and I promise I'll be back as soon as possible." Ye Liuyun rubbed Xiao Qingxue's head to comfort her.

But Xiao Qingxue wouldn't listen and kept struggling in Wang Yan's arms, forcing Wang Yan to comfort her.

Seeing the little girl continuing to make a fuss, Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and then decisively turned and left. There was nothing he could do; children were like that, and you couldn't wait until they completely stopped crying and making a fuss before leaving.

Sure enough, seeing that her mother wasn't buying it, Xiao Qingxue gradually quieted down after crying for a while, while staring at Ye Liuyun, who had disappeared from sight, with her bright and dissatisfied eyes.

Her eyes seemed to say, "Okay, now I'm someone my mother doesn't love or care about."

Of course, Ye Liuyun did not leave the Supreme Response Sect directly. Before she left, she would definitely say goodbye to everyone she needed to say goodbye to.

After everything was ready, Ye Liuyun changed his clothes and then rode Liusu back to the Lingjian Sect, the headquarters of the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Sect, at the fastest speed across the Tianduan Ridge.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials of Yunduan gathered at Lingjian Sect to discuss how to deal with Cui Ri Palace.

"Damn it, we Cloud Realm didn't provoke the Sun Destroyer Palace, but this little Sun Destroyer Palace came to provoke us instead. With Cloud Realm's current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy the Sun Destroyer Palace, right?" An elder from the Four Extremes Secret Realm said angrily.

"Indeed, this is outrageous! In the more than 100 years since the founding of Yunduan, such a terrible thing has never happened before. Two Four Extremes cultivators and more than a dozen Dao Palace cultivators have died in such a short period of time. This is a huge loss!" another elder also cursed angrily.

"We absolutely cannot tolerate this! Alliance Leader, speak up! Give the order now, and we'll immediately gather our forces to eradicate the Sun Destroyer Palace from this Eastern Wilderness. Anyway, the Sun Destroyer Palace isn't exactly a saint."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and this matter had angered the higher-ups at Cloud, causing them to become enraged.

"Please calm down, everyone. I have already informed our leader, and she will be back soon. It is definitely not appropriate for you to let the Alliance Leader make decisions on such a big matter. After all, this is the first time since the founding of Cloud Sect that we have clashed with a medium-sized sect, so we must treat it with caution," Jiang Wanling said.

Upon hearing this, everyone suppressed their anger and could only sulk for the time being, waiting for Chu Menghan to speak.

"Gentlemen, I understand your thoughts, but at such a crucial moment, we need to remain calm and look at this matter with composure. Getting anxious and angry will not help," Chu Menghan said.

Just as Chu Menghan finished speaking, a figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall at an extremely fast speed.

"I'm back." Ye Liuyun strode in.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned their gaze toward the main entrance and then stood up to bow to Ye Liuyun.

"My lord, you've finally returned! We've been waiting for you to give the order to wipe out the Sun Destroyer Palace in one fell swoop!" the crowd said, both happy and excited.

Ye Liuyun also had a murderous aura on her face. She walked directly to the leader's throne, and Chu Menghan also took the initiative to get up and give up her seat.

When Ye Liuyun wasn't around, she was the leader of the alliance. But when Ye Liuyun was around, he was the leader. She was at most an acting leader. Chu Menghan was well aware of this.

"Yes, I already know about it. The Sun Destroyer Palace dared to kill our people from Yunduan, so they must be eliminated. However, this cannot be done openly," Ye Liuyun said solemnly.

No one was angry because of Ye Liuyun's words. After all, Ye Liuyun did not say that he would not take revenge, but only that it could not be done openly.

This statement was actually a reminder to everyone that what they were about to do might have a huge negative impact on the cultivation world of the Eastern Wilderness.

"Oh, I understand now. Alliance Leader, are you planning to secretly and quietly wipe out the Sun Destroyer Palace?" a cultivator at the Divine Soul Realm asked hurriedly.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

“That’s right. Although the Sun Destroyer Palace is infamous, it’s not appropriate for us in the Cloud Realm to openly destroy another sect. After all, in this era, destroying another sect is a very heinous act, and it will definitely attract the attention and investigation of the Kaiyang Divine Firmament Sect,” Ye Liuyun reminded him.

That's true. The Sun Destroyer Palace isn't a small sect; it's a relatively powerful medium-sized sect, and they need to be careful about its influence.

“That’s true. We’ve only been developing for a hundred years, and we only have a few Nascent Soul cultivators. It’s not easy for us to go head-to-head with the top forces in the Eastern Wilderness,” Jiang Wanling said with a serious expression.

Although they knew that Ye Liuyun's methods might not even frighten the Shenxiao Sect, they felt that these methods couldn't be used without careful consideration.

"Then what does the Lord decide? We will follow the Lord's arrangements," someone said.

Ye Liuyun sneered, then issued an order that all cultivators of the Cloud Realm above the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm should gather at a designated location near the Sun Destroyer Palace territory tonight, and that they should wear Cloud Realm's specially made member uniforms.

As Ye Liuyun gave the order, everyone became inexplicably excited, because their Yun Duan was finally going to do something big.

After giving the instructions, Ye Liuyun told them to go back and prepare.

If the Cloud Organization were to mobilize all the cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, it would require at least several hundred people, plus five Nascent Soul cultivators, enough to wipe out the Sun Destroyer Palace.

After the representatives from those sects left, Ye Liuyun kept Jiang Wanling, Ye Fei, and Chu Menghan behind.

"Wanling, how many Nascent Soul cultivators does the Sun Destroyer Palace have exactly? Is there only one? He must be weaker than you, right?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Before going, you definitely need to understand the situation. If you go and destroy a sect without understanding the situation, even though Ye Liuyun is not afraid of anything, others can't.

"On the surface, there seems to be only one, but as far as I know, there should be three Nascent Soul cultivators and two reclusive old ghosts," Jiang Wanling said solemnly.

The strength of the Sun Destroyer Palace is clearly superior to that of the Heavenly Heng Sect, which is why they dare to be so arrogant and domineering. In this region, the Sun Destroyer Palace is considered the strongest medium-sized sect.

“Three people? I understand. That’s fine. There’s no need to even inform Senior Guanyue about this,” Ye Liuyun said.

“Indeed, having Fellow Daoist Guanyue take action is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Actually, even if you, my lord, didn’t return, with just the people of Yunduan and the magic treasures you left behind, destroying Cui Ri Palace would be very simple. However, for such a big matter, we still feel that we need you to take charge.” Jiang Wanling was completely a fan of Ye Liuyun, and she said whatever Ye Liuyun said.

"Well, you two should go and prepare yourselves. I'd like to have a chat with Xiaofei; it's been a while since we last saw each other," Ye Liuyun said.

Chu Menghan and Jiang Wanling were quite sensible and immediately turned around and left.

After they left, Ye Fei grinned and sat down in Ye Liuyun's lap.

"Mother, have you forgotten about me, your adopted daughter, now that you have your own? It's been so long since you've contacted me, and I feel so sad," Ye Fei said, feigning sadness.

"No way, besides, I haven't been gone for long. As for you, how's your cultivation going? It seems you haven't broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm yet, have you?" Ye Liuyun checked Ye Fei's cultivation level.

"How could it be that fast? I have five elemental roots, so my cultivation is very slow. But among the cultivators of my generation in Sword Cloud, no one is my match anymore. It's getting a bit boring. Mother, I heard that the cultivators of your generation in the Supreme Induction Sect are very strong. When you go back next time, can you take me with you?" Ye Fei said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Seeing that her mother disagreed, Ye Fei immediately hugged Ye Liuyun's neck and started to act coquettishly.

"Oh dear, no! The Spirit Sword Sect is such a small place, it really limits my horizons. Besides, it's too comfortable here, not suitable for my development. I want to go out and explore," Ye Feisu said.

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun felt a headache coming on. She wanted to groom Ye Fei as the successor of Yunduan, so she personally felt that keeping Ye Fei in Yunduan to familiarize herself with the situation and prepare her for taking over her position in the future was the best option.

However, she did not consider that Ye Fei had grown up and had her own independent consciousness. As a cultivator, she certainly did not want to stay in such a small place and wanted to see a wider world.

"Alright, but I don't plan to send you to the Supreme Response Sect. I want you to go to the Kaiyang Divine Firmament Sect," Ye Liuyun said solemnly.

Ye Fei was slightly taken aback when she heard this, but based on her understanding of her own mother, she could roughly guess what her mother was thinking.

"Oh, I understand. No problem, as long as you agree to let me leave the Spirit Sword Sect, Mother." Ye Fei nodded happily.

For her, it didn't matter where she went; what mattered was being able to leave this small place.

"However, let me make this clear: since you've chosen to go out and gain experience, you need to act like one. Aside from having Lan Wei protect you, you'll have to acquire everything else through your own abilities. Even whether you can join the Shenxiao Sect will depend on your own capabilities."

"If you don't have the ability to join the Kaiyang Shenxiao Sect, then come back obediently," Ye Liuyun said with a serious expression.

Ye Liuyun hopes that her children will all have the ability to be independent, that is to say, you must be able to leave her wing.

This can be considered a test for you.

Lan Wei was taken aback, then said with a solemn expression.

“Mother, I want to rely entirely on my own abilities, and I don’t need Lan Weijian to follow me. I am capable of protecting myself.”

As a child, Ye Fei naturally wanted to prove to her mother that she wasn't a hothouse flower and that she also had her own dignity.

If Lan Wei were to follow her, she would have a hard time getting real training.

Ye Liuyun hesitated for a moment.

"Alright! But for your safety, I will give you some life-saving and healing pills afterward. Don't refuse these pills, they are a must," Ye Liuyun said solemnly.

After receiving Ye Liuyun's final consent, Ye Fei happily kissed Ye Liuyun on the cheek.

"Oh yeah, long live Mother! Don't worry, your daughter will never let you down," Ye Fei said excitedly.

Looking at Ye Fei's happy expression, Ye Liuyun sighed slightly, thinking to herself that the little girl from back then was much cuter. Once children grow up, they will want to break away from their parents' protection. She knew that the Ye Fei in front of her was a true reflection of the future Ye Qingxue.

Perhaps because she had an adopted daughter earlier, Ye Liuyun was more like a mother than Lin Aoxue, after all, she had some experience in raising daughters.

Chapter 593 Members Gather (5000 words)

Around midnight, figures dressed in black cloaks rapidly converged from all directions toward the area where Tianheng Sect and Cui Ri Palace met.

These people all wore masks, disguising themselves from head to toe. However, their cloaks were rather unusual, with black cloaks adorned with red cloud patterns, which looked rather strange.

And everyone was dressed like that.

None of these people had a cultivation level lower than the Four Extremes Secret Realm. They landed on a cliff and stared in the direction of the Sun Destroyer Palace, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

There were about 500 people, and they were all very quiet, as if they were waiting for someone. These were all direct members of Cloud, because according to Cloud's rules, only cultivators above the fourth level could become direct members of Cloud. In other words, it was these people who would take action in any major operation.

Cultivators below the fourth level can only be considered peripheral cultivators.

"So many people! They're all experts from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. Sect Leader, do we in Cloud Realm have this many direct members?" A newly promoted Four Extremes cultivator was shocked to see so many experts in front of him.

This is, after all, Yunduan's first action, and it is also the first time in Yunduan's 100-year history that all its direct members have been brought together.

These people are all sect leaders or elders of the member sects within the Cloud Organization. Of course, not all cultivators of the Four Extremes can become direct members of Cloud Organization. Ye Liuyun gave each sect three slots and also told them that the holders of these three slots would receive additional benefits.

The benefits offered by the Cloud Organization are irresistible even to Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone cultivators at the Four Extremes level.

Sect leaders generally don't easily give this spot to weaker cultivators at the Four Extremes level, so there are relatively few cultivators at the Divine Form Realm here, and most are at or above the Divine Intent Realm.

"Shut up. It's the rule in the Cloud Realm: less talk before and during an operation. The Lord and Elders haven't arrived yet." The cloaked figure beside the young cultivator immediately told his junior brother to shut up.

These cloaks and masks were all custom-made by Wanbaolou at a high price by Ye Liuyun. Even Nirvana Realm cultivators would not be able to see through their true forms. Therefore, those present could not recognize who was who when they wore these clothes and could only judge by the familiar voices.

A few minutes later, five more figures appeared out of thin air behind the group of Four Extremes cultivators.

These five people had a significantly stronger aura than the hundreds who had arrived earlier, especially the tall, slender, cloaked figure among them, whose aura was the most powerful.

"Everyone, is everyone here? Let me make this clear first: the benefits that Cloud City has brought to you and your respective forces over the past century are worth your utmost effort. If anyone takes the benefits without contributing, you should think carefully about the consequences," Ye Liuyun said immediately after the others arrived.

Upon hearing the voice, the cloaked figures from the Four Extremes Secret Realm knew it was Ye Liuyun, and they all bowed and greeted him.

"Welcome, my lord. Please rest assured, we are not foolish enough to risk our future by consigning ourselves to our graves," said a powerful expert at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm.

Intelligent people would never betray Ye Liuyun, because as long as they don't betray Ye Liuyun or Yun Duan, they will definitely be able to break through to the Transformation Realm once they reach the peak of the Divine Soul Realm.

Originally, Yunduan only had two Nascent Soul cultivators: Jiang Wanling and Guan Yue. Ye Liuyun himself could barely be considered one. There were also two Nascent Soul cultivators at the first level. These two were Supreme Elders of the Divine Soul Realm from some small and medium-sized sects. Ye Liuyun helped them break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as promised.

These are all things that everyone can see.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

"Alright then, let's divide the tasks as quickly as possible. What we need to do is to eliminate all strongholds belonging to the Sun Destroyer Palace within its territory within three hours tonight, leaving none behind," Ye Liuyun said.

After she finished speaking, Jiang Wanling walked up to Ye Liuyun and began assigning tasks. Jiang Wanling had already figured out the location of Cui Ri Palace's strongholds and was ready to act at any time.

She produced a panoramic map of the Sun Destroyer Palace's forces, with red dots marking the locations of the Sun Destroyer Palace's strongholds.

The division of tasks is also an art. You need to figure out the specific distribution of the opponent's strength, that is, how many strong people are in this stronghold, and how many people need to be sent to take it 100% of the time.

At the same time, you also need to figure out who is who among these cloaked people. These cloaked people seem to have no identity, but in fact they do have one. Each of them wears a special ring on their finger, and the ring has a number on it.

The members themselves might not know who the other person is, but Jiang Wanling and the management team must remember exactly who each person is.

Ye Liuyun quietly watched Jiang Wanling assign tasks, while he secretly approached the strongest cultivator.

"Senior Guanyue, what brings you here? Actually, you didn't need to personally lead today's operation; the rest of us were enough," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Indeed, the strongest one is definitely Mizuki, and Mizuki came after receiving the news.

“Since I am also a direct member of the Cloud Organization, I will naturally come when there is a big operation. After all, I can’t just take your benefits for nothing,” Guan Yue said calmly.

Ye Liuyun nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

"Haha, alright then, we'll just wait for the senior to oversee things later," Ye Liuyun said.

Guan Yue didn't care; even if she were asked to directly eliminate the Sun Destroyer Palace, it would be a matter of minutes.

Ye Liuyun simply preferred that Guanyue act as the linchpin of Yunduan, and not take action unless absolutely necessary.

About ten minutes later, the tasks were assigned.

"Alright, let's get to our assigned tasks. Remember, act quickly and decisively, and don't let a single disciple of the Sun Destroyer Palace escape," Jiang Wanling said, looking at the members who had already been divided into groups.

"Yes, you guys come with me." The one with higher cultivation immediately ordered the members of his team.

After they finished speaking, they moved in groups of two, three, or six, stealthily making their way to the designated area at top speed.

In a short while, of the more than 500 cultivators at the Four Extremes level, only 100 remained who did not participate. Without exception, all 100 of them were cultivators at or above the Divine Body Realm, representing the high-end combat power of the Cloud Realm.

"The rest of you will join our lord in attacking the stronghold of the Sun-Destroying Palace," Jiang Wanling gave her final order.

"Damn it, I've been waiting for this for ages!" Some hot-tempered cultivators were incredibly excited when they heard that they were going to the Sun Destroyer Palace's lair.

Ye Liuyun chuckled.
