The Cui family’s Old Ancestor stared intently into Yan Yun’s eyes.
Faced with a Divine Venerable cultivator like him, she showed not a trace of awe or fear.
From this, it was clear that she likely often interacted with cultivators of his level, and even those stronger than him.
She also had the ability to build such a large sect.
To be honest, he really couldn’t guess her origins.
Because as far as he knew, even the top prodigies from major sects couldn’t possibly have such financial resources.
In the entire Tianchen Continent, the only ones with such financial resources, who could casually build a large-scale sect base, were probably the Four Great Alliances.
‘This little girl, could she be the daughter of some Alliance Master from the Four Great Alliances, out to start her own business?’ the Cui family’s Old Ancestor guessed in his heart.
He had actually guessed correctly, because Yan Yun was indeed an Alliance Master’s daughter out to start her own business, but she had not relied on her parents’ financial resources, but on her own abilities.
“Young lady, if this old man agrees to your proposal and joins your esteemed sect, what benefits can your esteemed sect bring to my Cui family and the Xuanhui Sect?” the Cui family’s Old Ancestor asked.
Yan Yun could tell that the Cui family’s Old Ancestor was interested.
“If the Cui family and the Xuanhui Sect join the Poison Sect, I can help you two families seek revenge.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not asking the Cui family and the Xuanhui Sect to merge into the Poison Sect.”
“Our Poison Sect cultivators are very special, different from all of you.”
“Our relationship can be one of mutual cooperation.”
These words made the Cui family’s Old Ancestor no longer have any hesitation.
Because it was basically all benefits and no drawbacks.
“Alright, this old man agrees.”
“I believe the Xuanhui Sect will also definitely agree.”
“I’m very curious, how will Sect Master Ziyun solve the problem of Ghost Soul Valley?” the Cui family’s Old Ancestor asked curiously.
As soon as he said this, a murderous glint flashed in Yan Yun’s eyes.
“I don’t like Ghost Soul Valley’s style of doing things.”
“In my opinion, even a Demonic Dao sect should not kill the innocent indiscriminately.”
“The disputes between cultivators should not involve innocent people.”
“And Ghost Soul Valley’s actions are too brutal and vicious.”
Since it had come to this, the Cui family’s Old Ancestor didn’t ask any more questions.
“Sect Master Ziyun, please wait a moment.”
“I will go and bring the people of the Xuanhui Sect and my Cui family here.”
“This place is probably a very safe place now,” the Cui family’s Old Ancestor stated.
Yan Yun nodded.
Thus, the Cui family’s Old Ancestor once again took Cui Hongyu, flew up, and left.
Soon after, Xuanhui Holy Mother arrived here with her outstanding disciples.
When she saw Yan Yun and Xiao Leng, her expression couldn’t help but freeze.
“It’s you?”
Yan Yun and Xuanhui Holy Mother had met before, so they were naturally acquaintances.
“Senior, we haven’t seen each other in a long time.”
“I just didn’t expect that since we last met, your esteemed sect has undergone such earth-shattering changes.”
Upon hearing this, Xuanhui Holy Mother immediately let out a heavy breath.
“Alas! My Xuanhui Sect is now as good as gone.”
“I just didn’t expect your background to be so great.”
“Senior, please rest and heal your wounds.”
“After you’ve recovered, I will need you to go out and bring back the scattered Xuanhui Sect disciples,” Yan Yun stated.
Xuanhui Holy Mother also understood that the most important thing for her now was to heal her wounds; everything else could wait.
So, in the following days, the people of the Cui family were constantly brought into the valley by the Cui family’s Old Ancestor.
The originally empty valley was instantly filled with over a thousand people.
But at the same time, Ghost Soul Valley had also found this place.
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley, leading a group of Ghost Soul Valley disciples, arrived in the Wuyin Mountain Range, searching for traces of his disciple.
With so many people approaching the valley, the Cui family’s Old Ancestor and the others were definitely the first to notice.
“Someone is coming, it’s the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley,” the Cui family’s Old Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes and said to Yan Yun and the others.
Xuanhui Holy Mother immediately stopped healing, a murderous glint in her eyes.
“Just in time.”
“I’m going to avenge my dead disciples.”
Xuanhui Holy Mother suppressed her injuries and prepared to get up to deal with the enemies outside.
However, she was stopped by Yan Yun.
“Seniors, there’s no need for you two to take action in this matter.”
“This junior will handle it.”
“You two should focus on healing,” Yan Yun said.
After speaking, she flew up, out of the valley, and to the entrance, waiting for the people of Ghost Soul Valley to arrive.
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley had searched for several days before he found this area.
It was only a matter of time before he found the valley where the Poison Sect was located.
The powerful divine sense of the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley searched area by area, and soon, he found someone ahead.
So he immediately flew over and appeared in Yan Yun’s sight.
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley, upon seeing Yan Yun, frowned.
‘In this desolate mountain, why would there be someone here, and from the looks of it, it seems she’s waiting for him.’
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley, without any courtesy, came to within ten meters of Yan Yun and asked sinisterly, “Little girl, who are you, and do you know if there has been a battle in this area?”
Yan Yun just looked at him without speaking, a strange smile on her face.
Seeing that Yan Yun didn’t answer his question, the other party immediately became angry.
“Little girl, I’m talking to you, are you deaf?”
Yan Yun immediately raised her hand and picked her ear with her little finger.
“Why does it feel like there’s a fly buzzing?”
This sentence made the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley explode.
“You? A mere Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator dares to ignore me like this?”
“Fine, our Old Ancestor needs souls for cultivation, so hand yours over too,” the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley said, and without hesitation, he attacked Yan Yun.
He raised his hand, and with a flick of his sleeve, a black gas transformed into a demonic hand and grabbed at Yan Yun.
This demonic hand grabbed Yan Yun.
However, just as the other party thought he had captured Yan Yun, his demonic hand was suddenly pierced by several beams of firelight.
A high-pitched cry sounded, and in the next moment, the demonic hand was blown apart by a scorching energy.
A fiery divine bird carrying scorching flames rushed towards him.
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley’s face changed, and he quickly retreated.
At the same time, black chains shot out from his hands, wrapping around the firebird.
This Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley was a Great Accomplishment Divine Soul Realm cultivator and was quite powerful.
It would be very difficult for this Vermilion Bird Divine Talisman to kill him.
Sure enough, after being entangled by the black chains, the firebird’s attack was blocked.
But the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley was also under immense pressure and was forced to retreat continuously.
“You have some skills.”
“Then how about another one?” Yan Yun took out another fifth-tier talisman treasure.
An ice dragon roared out and pounced on the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley from the right.
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley’s face changed drastically, but because his movements were entangled by the firebird, he couldn’t break free immediately.
He could only wave his left hand and summon a mirror magic treasure to block the ice dragon.
This ice dragon slammed into the mirror.
“Two fifth-tier talisman treasures? Damn it.”
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley’s head throbbed.
He quickly shouted at the group of Ghost Soul Valley disciples who had rushed over behind him, “You, why aren’t you attacking that little girl?”
Upon hearing the command, this group of Ghost Soul Valley disciples, even if they were afraid, still rushed up.
Unfortunately for them, what greeted them was a sky full of flying swords.
A large number of flying swords filled with golden lightning shot out from Yan Yun’s hands, instantly turning these rushing Ghost Soul Valley disciples into beehives.
This was also a fifth-tier talisman treasure, the Golden Thunder Sword Talisman.
The disciples of Ghost Soul Valley, including several Divine Mark Realm cultivators, were all wiped out.
Only the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley was still fighting against the two talisman treasure spirits.
Seeing the other party using talisman treasures as ordinary attacks, the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley knew he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have.
“Young lady, let’s talk this out.”
“I am the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley.”
“It was my offense just now, please stop and withdraw the talisman treasures.”
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley directly admitted defeat.
However, Yan Yun’s next words made him panic.
“Hehe, are you looking for the group of Ghost Soul Valley disciples who went missing here a few days ago?”
“No need to look, their bones are gone.”
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley’s face changed.
“You, you killed them?”
“That’s right, it was me.”
“Seniors, please come out and meet this Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley,” Yan Yun said, and at the same time, she called out Xuanhui Holy Mother and the others.
As soon as these words fell, Xuanhui Holy Mother and the Cui family’s Old Ancestor instantly appeared on Yan Yun’s left and right sides.
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley was terrified when he saw these two.
“Xuanhui Holy Mother, Cui… Old Freak Cui, you, how can you be here?”
Xuanhui Holy Mother really wanted to crush him to death immediately, but since Yan Yun hadn’t spoken, they could only endure it.
“Surprised, aren’t you?”
“The even more surprising things are yet to come.”
“Senior Cui, this guy is all yours,” Yan Yun gestured to the Cui family’s Old Ancestor.
‘The reason she didn’t let the two of them take action just now was because Yan Yun wanted to show them her trump cards.’
‘Now that she had shown them, the life or death of the person in front of her was irrelevant.’
The Cui family’s Old Ancestor grinned.
“Thank you, Sect Master, my hands have been itching for a long time.”
The Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley’s eyes were about to pop out.
He suddenly roared, and his body exploded on the spot, turning into a sky full of black mist that surged towards Yan Yun and the others.
And he himself turned into a streak of black gas and fled into the distance.
The Cui family’s Old Ancestor just blew a breath and dispersed all the black mist.
“Trying to run? Not on my watch.”
“Get back here,” the Cui family’s Old Ancestor raised his hand and grabbed.
A large azure hand rapidly grew in size, and in an instant, it covered the area where the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley was.
How could he possibly escape from the hands of a Divine Venerable?
“No, Old Ancestor, save me,” the Third Elder of Ghost Soul Valley shouted in terror.
Unfortunately, the Ghost Soul Old Ancestor was far away, healing in the Xuanhui Sect, and probably couldn’t save him.
Soon, this fellow was caught in the Cui family’s Old Ancestor’s hand and brought back.
“Seniors, this person is all yours.”
“I believe he must have information we want to know,” Yan Yun reminded them.
“Let me do it,” Xuanhui Holy Mother snatched the fellow, then flew into the valley and began to interrogate him.
As for the Cui family’s Old Ancestor, he was stunned by Yan Yun’s methods.
Using fifth-tier talisman treasures as ordinary attacks could only be described with the word “extravagant.”
