Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

91: Section 91Yun Yun smiled contentedly, held Linger’s hand, and together they descended Yun Lan Mountain, heading toward Gama Emperor City.

Along the way, Yun Yun looked at the familiar mountain path, but a sense of oppression inexplicably welled up in her heart. She felt that the atmosphere of the Cloud Mist Sect had become somewhat strange, though she didn’t know when it started.

She was clearly the Sect Leader, the nominal highest authority in the Sect. Yet, many times, she felt unable to fully control many internal Sect matters, as if an invisible net was secretly binding her.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable. Perhaps

Staying by Chenger’s side would be more comfortable?

The two traveled extremely quickly, and before long, they arrived at Gama Emperor City.

However, the Emperor City at this moment no longer held its former prosperity and bustle, but was instead enveloped in an atmosphere of solemnity and killing intent. Guards had clearly increased on the city walls, and patrolling soldiers hurried along with wary expressions on their faces.

It is rumored that a while ago, the current Crown Prince, who had always lacked presence, “accidentally” fell into the water while boating and died from shock. Now, the entire imperial government is temporarily managed solely by The Eldest Princess, Yao Ye.

And the several Dou Ling Poison Masters from the Izumo Empire who had previously infiltrated the Emperor City were all executed under the swift and decisive methods of Princess Yao Ye.

However, under the intentional guidance and promotion of Princess Yao Ye, the citizens of the entire Jia Ma Empire were currently steeped in towering rage towards the Izumo Empire.

The calls to launch a war of revenge were rising higher and higher.

183 The Young Lady’s Longing

Just as Yun Yun and Linger stepped through the Emperor City gates, a familiar figure came forward to greet them. It was Princess Gu Yue.

She seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

”Sect Leader Yun, I hope you have been well.” Princess Yao Ye bowed from a distance to Yun Yun, her posture respectful yet retaining the dignity of a royal princess.

”No need for formalities, Princess Yao Ye.” Yun Yun nodded slightly, displaying a gentle smile. ”Since that child Xiancheng is willing to call you Empress, then I, as his Master, naturally have absolutely no objection.”

She naturally knew about Yun Xiancheng’s little ”schemes.”

It seems that the pair of ”Twin Flowers” of the Jiama Royal Family are likely to be collected by her precious Disciple.

Thinking of this, the look in Yun Yun’s eyes as she gazed at Yao Ye involuntarily revealed a hint of the tenderness and... satisfaction of an elder looking at a junior?

Yao Ye felt a warmth in her heart upon seeing Yun Yun’s gentle gaze. She simply assumed that the Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, being kind-hearted, was comforting her not to be too sad over the successive deaths of her father and brother.

Grateful in her heart, she slowly spoke, ”Sect Leader Yun, I came here this time to discuss something with you. My Jia Ma Empire is preparing to formally declare war on the Izumo Empire! I just wonder what the Cloud Mist Sect’s opinion on this is?”

Hearing this, Yun Yun pondered for a moment, not immediately stating her position:

”This matter is of great importance... I need to wait until I discuss it carefully with Chenger and the others before a decision can be made.”

She didn’t want to discuss it in the Cloud Mist internal Elder Council; the endless wrangling was only efficient when they needed her to act as a hired fighter.

Yao Ye nodded, expressing understanding. She stopped talking about state affairs and instead turned her gaze toward Linger beside Yun Yun, showing a curious smile. ”Speaking of which, there have been rumors recently in the market that our Cloud Mist Sect has gained another Young Sect Leader of exceptional talent and Beauty. Are they referring to... this young lady?” She was referring to the speculation and rumors outside after Yun Yun brought Linger back to the Cloud Mist Sect.

”N-no... that’s not it...” Hearing this, Linger quickly waved her hand, her small face slightly flushed, and she explained softly, ”I am just temporarily staying at the Cloud Mist Sect, waiting for Young Master to return home. Although Mentor Yun Yun taught me a lot about cultivation, I am not the Young Sect Leader...”

Yun Yun also smiled and nodded, adding, ”I am just temporarily looking after my good-for-nothing Disciple’s Little Wife.” ”Oh? Is that so?” Yao Ye’s eyes flashed with understanding upon hearing this.

She hesitated no longer, walking straight up and affectionately taking Linger’s hand, a sincere smile on her face. ”In that case, we should address each other as sisters from now on.”

She winked at Linger and introduced herself, ”Little sister, my name is Yao Ye.” ”My name is Linger. I share the same surname as Young Master,” Linger replied softly.

The two outstandingly beautiful Young ladies exchanged simple greetings beneath the city gate, and surprisingly, a mutual appreciation seemed to develop between them.

Afterward, Princess Gu Yue seemed to have important matters to attend to, so she said goodbye: ”Alright, I still have some state affairs to handle, so I won’t stay any longer.”

She nodded slightly toward Yun Yun and Linger: ”Later, please send my regards to Xiancheng.”

Princess Yao Ye’s brief interlude quickly ended, and Yun Yun continued taking Linger toward the Mittel Auction House.

Ya Fei’s grandfather said nothing after hearing that his granddaughter had privately married Yun Xiancheng, and after giving a gift, he moved past the matter. Yun Yun chatted with the old man for a while. The old man stated that he now regarded Ya Fei as the new Helmsman of the Mittel Family, acting on the family’s behalf.

Yun Yun knew that the Mittel Family was trying to bind themselves to the Cloud Mist Sect... no, to Yun Xiancheng. Yun Yun clearly sensed Yun Xiancheng’s unique ambition.

He was clearly the Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, yet he was building his own faction... but never mind.

Let him proceed however he wishes. Yun Yun sighed softly in her heart.

Her indulgence and concern for Yun Xiancheng seemed to far exceed her own expectations.

After all, he was the first Disciple she personally introduced to the path of cultivation... and also, her Husband.

After that, Yun Yun held Linger’s hand and pushed open the door that only Heavenly Palace Fairies could open.

Yun Yun noticed the small mechanism. Then, she snapped her fingers, covering the entire room with a barrier.

Having done this, she saw nine great Beauties sprawled together, each covered in sticky residue, lying on the bed, seemingly in a state between sleep and wakefulness.

Yun Yun’s good Disciple, Yun Xiancheng, was still embracing Green Savage and outputting energy. At this moment, Green Savage seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to Dou Zong, with the surrounding spiritual energy rapidly gathering around her.

Yun Xiancheng also seemed to be breaking through. His aura had steadily reached the level of Seven-Star Dou Ling, and Dragon and Tiger imagery faintly coiled behind him. It seemed the medicinal power of the pill was still circulating, dispersing to the surrounding Young ladies.

The Beauties around him had also progressed to varying degrees.

The next moment, Green Savage broke through to Dou Zong, and a massive amount of Dou Qi fed back into the Family Network. Yun Yun and Linger felt their Dou Qi increase significantly, and a portion of that increase was fed back to other family members.

This feedback Dou Qi was generated out of thin air and was incredibly profound, as if it had been cultivated by a dozen people together, with a much firmer foundation than cultivation by a single person.

With such repeated superposition, the progress of Qing Lin and Linger, whose realms were only Dou Master, was the most obvious, breaking through by about two stars. ”Linger, Master!”

The moment she broke through to Dou Zong, Green Savage fainted, lying half-asleep and half-awake on the bed.

Yun Xiancheng stood up. With a sweep of Dou Qi, the various liquids on his body were purified. He walked cleanly toward Linger and embraced her.

”Long time no see, Linger, I missed you.” Hearing this, Linger’s anxious heart settled. She hugged Yun Xiancheng and kissed him.

The young lady’s initiative slightly surprised Yun Xiancheng, but he quickly kissed her back. After a long time, she finally said:

”Husband, I am very happy here. Mentor also teaches me cultivation, and so do the Senior Sisters. They are all very good people...” The young lady began to recount her experiences during her time at the Cloud Mist Sect. She cultivated under Yun Yun’s guidance, observed the sea of clouds on the mountain for ascetic practice, and watched the sunrise in the sea of clouds while sitting on the Cultivation Stone where Yun Xiancheng once sat... The young lady spoke in detail, and Yun Xiancheng listened quietly.

Longing poured out from the young lady’s mouth and swirled into Yun Xiancheng’s ears. The young lady, who had been standing, unconsciously lay down on Yun Yun’s body. She looked at Yun Yun, who resembled a fairy, adopting the same posture as her.

But before she could think further, everything from Yun Xiancheng surged forth. The young lady’s eyes rolled back almost instantly as she reached the Heavenly Palace above the clouds. The twenty-fold increase in stimulation made this cultivation feast feel even more like ascending to the Heavenly Palace of Ultimate Bliss above the clouds, becoming a Celestial Fairy together.

184 Envoy to the Izumo Empire

Yun Xiancheng and his wives enjoyed more than half a month of joyful time, almost nightly revelry, in this Holy City of the Emperor City.

This slightly alleviated their long-accumulated suffering from longing. Of course, while the gentle embrace was good, one could not constantly indulge in it. After half a month, it was time for everyone to attend to serious business.

”Chenger,” Yun Yun asked, looking at her Disciple’s refreshed and radiant appearance, ”Regarding Princess Yao Ye... should we offer some substantial support?”

Perhaps fearing that the ”absurdity” of the past half-month had made Yun Xiancheng forget the main issue, Yun Yun specifically added a reminder: ”I mean The Eldest Princess you spoke with so well during the Alchemist Convention.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiancheng felt a little embarrassed seeing his Master’s serious expression, and quickly said, ”Master, please rest assured, your Disciple certainly still remembers...”

...Princess Gu Yue.”

”That’s good.” Yun Yun nodded in satisfaction, then put on a stern face and warned him in a half-joking, half-serious tone, ”Princess Yao Ye is a good younger sister. You must never abandon her or become a heartless man. Otherwise... I, your Master, will be the first to not forgive you, and I will certainly use my sword to teach you a good lesson!”

A mistake? No.

Hearing his Master’s words, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Yun Xiancheng’s heart.

The meaning behind Master’s words... listening to them, it sounds like she has already met Princess Yao Ye privately? And their relationship seems quite good? She has already started referring to herself as the ”older sister” and standing up for her ”new younger sister”?

”Hehe, Master certainly dotes on this new younger sister.”

Yun Xiancheng laughed inwardly, but quickly guaranteed, ”Master, don’t worry, your Disciple has always cherished Beauty and jade, and absolutely! Absolutely will not betray Princess Yao Ye’s sincere feelings!”

After speaking, he changed the subject, a confident smile appearing on his face as he began to elaborate on his plan. ”However, regarding the matter of support, your Disciple has a different idea... Since the Izumo Empire dared to send a Poison Master to infiltrate our Gama Emperor City and cause trouble at the Alchemist Convention, attempting to humiliate us...”

A cold light flashed in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes: ”Then, as a courtesy exchange, we should... hit them back hard!” He looked at Yun Yun and said solemnly:

”Master, your Disciple requests that you, in the name of the Cloud Mist Sect Leader, take me to the Izumo Empire!”

”I want to stand openly outside their Izumo Empire’s Imperial City! To challenge all of their younger generation!”

”Let them also taste the feeling of being blocked right outside their own doorstep and severely humiliated!”

As soon as Yun Xiancheng said this, not only Yun Yun, but even Yun Ziyi and Green Savage, who were standing nearby, instantly had sparks of excitement ignite in their eyes!

”Oh? Directly attacking their doorstep? Challenging the younger generation?” A look of eagerness flashed in Yun Ziyi’s purple beautiful eyes. ”This idea... is quite interesting!”

”Such a famous deed naturally requires Dao Protectors,” Green Savage chimed in, her tone full of interest. ”And we happen to be the perfect Dao Protectors for you.

At this moment, Yun Ziyi, like a kitten, was lazily sitting behind Yun Xiancheng, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her cheek against his back, saying sweetly, ”Mhm! That’s wonderful! We will definitely protect Chenger well!”

And Green Savage was even more direct, her face filled with excitement and anticipation: ”This kind of tit-for-tat action is truly the act of a hero! Husband, when you go, you must kill a few more people! Kill until you establish a magnificent reputation! Only then will you be worthy of me, Green Savage!”

The three powerful ”elders” all showed great interest and support for Yun Xiancheng’s bold and provocative plan!

However, the Young ladies of the same generation, such as Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, couldn’t help but feel worried. They each grabbed one of Yun Xiancheng’s arms, their faces showing concern.

”Senior Brother. Won’t doing this be too dangerous?” Nalan Yanran couldn’t help but ask. ”After all, we’d be deep in enemy territory.”

”That’s right, Senior Brother,” Xiao Yan echoed. ”Although the Izumo Empire is not as strong as the Cloud Mist Sect, it is still an established empire with deep foundations and powerful experts...”

”Don’t worry, it’s not dangerous.” Yun Xiancheng sensed the two women’s worry and comforted them with a smile.

He patted the back of their hands, his tone filled with powerful confidence: ”With Lü Man, Purple Wing, and Master—these three peak Dou Huangs—acting as Dao Protectors, my safety is completely assured.”

”As for those so-called young generation geniuses of the Izumo Empire...”

Yun Xiancheng displayed a smile that encompassed the world and slowly uttered five words:

”I am invincible among my peers!” ”Absolutely not!”

Gu Yue’s voice suddenly rose, filled with unbelievable urgency. ”This action is far too perilous!” Hearing Yun Xiancheng’s words, The Eldest Princess of the Jia Ma Empire abruptly stood up.

She rushed forward a few steps, urgently gripping Yun Xiancheng’s shoulders with her jade hands, her gaze intense, as if trying to shake this earth-shattering, bold idea out of his mind.

”Your Highness need not worry.”

Yun Xiancheng, however, was unconcerned. He gently brushed her hand away, his expression remaining calm. He said gently, ”This move appears risky, but in fact, it is not.”

”If I can lure those Great Dou Masters and Dou Ling realm new talents of the Izumo Empire into a concentrated competition,” a flash of wisdom appeared in Yun Xiancheng’s eyes, ”...it will greatly relieve the heavy pressure on those at the front lines.”

He further explained: ”After all, seniors of the Dou Wang and Dou Huang ranks usually value their status and disdain taking action against a junior like me, or against ordinary Dou Practitioners and Dou Masters.”

”But Great Dou Masters and Dou Lings are different.”

”These two levels are often the key to determining local victories on the battlefield; they are capable of fighting a hundred men and can sway the dynamics of a regional battle.” ”The Dou Huangs of the Izumo Empire will not easily interfere in this war or Xiancheng’s duel.”

Yun Yun, who had been standing silently by the side with an ethereal, immortal-like demeanor, spoke calmly at this moment, adding a footnote to Yun Xiancheng’s words.

”This time, Xiancheng is essentially charging straight into a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, stirring up massive waves in the Izumo Emperor City, practically humiliating the opponent face-to-face.” Yun Yun’s voice was cold and firm. ”We are protecting his Dao; we certainly cannot just stand by and watch.”

As she spoke, her fair, jade-like hand unconsciously pressed lightly against the scabbard of the long sword at her waist, her intent clear. ”This is both a trial for Xiancheng...”

Yun Yun’s gaze shifted, looking towards Yun Xiancheng, then sweeping across the crowd. ”...and a test for us as well.”

”As long as we stand firm, Xiancheng will remain safe and sound.”

185 If the older sister marries you, what about the younger sister?

The Royal Twin Beauties of the Jia Ma Empire, The Eldest Princess Yao Ye and The Second Princess Heavenly Moon, stood gracefully, serving Yun Xiancheng on his left and right. They stood with him on a high vantage point, looking down upon the solemn Jia Ma Empire military formation, which stretched endlessly like a black tide.

The guardian of the Jiama Royal Family, the famous Jia Xingtian, appeared exceptionally aged at this moment, far weaker than he was during the Alchemist Competition.

Perhaps the simultaneous departure of the Late Emperor and the Crown Prince made him realize the long passage of time, allowing white-haired people to bury black-haired people.

He hunched his body, as if merciless time had instantly bent his spine, and an aura of decline permeated his surroundings. Old Jia looked at the young figure before him, and a hint of unspeakable complexity flashed in his cloudy eyes.

He spoke softly, his voice raspy from years of experience: ”I, this old man, have lived for such a long time, yet this is truly the first time I’ve ever seen such... such an involved Young Sect Master of Yunlan Sect.”

His gaze fell upon Yun Xiancheng. The bright red robes and the blood-colored waist sash were fluttering in the wind, highlighting his tall and extraordinary bearing.

Old Jia paused, then continued, ”The fact that Yao Ye can marry you is likely a good destination for her.” Yun Xiancheng did not turn around, merely gazing quietly into the distance.

Seeing this, Old Jia mischievously added a sentence, his tone containing a hint of playful mischief like an old rascal: ”Since the older sister already has a suitable match, leaving the younger sister alone will inevitably be lonely.”

He said with a smile, ”Sisters should naturally support each other. I wonder, young Xiancheng, are you interested in bringing Heavenly Moon in as well? Sisters sharing one heart, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Hearing their Old Ancestor utter such shocking, blunt, and explicit words, the cheeks of Heavenly Moon and Yao Ye instantly flushed bright red, as if on fire. Shame and annoyance mingled in their hearts, and they complained inwardly: How... how could he say such a thing—that sisters should share one Husband—so naturally, so matter-of-factly? Finally, Yun Xiancheng slowly turned around.
