Yunhua, the Garrison Commander
The Crouching Ox Pass region was divided up, and the major Lineage settled down again.
Taihao True Person put away the blueprints and announced another piece of news, "From today onwards, Yunhua is appointed Crouching Ox Pass, for a term of One Sexagenary Cycle!"
After this news was announced, all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present turned their attention to Fairy Yunhua.
Yang Tianyou's face showed astonishment, but even more so, delight. Wouldn't this mean he could see Yunhua more often?
Faced with these gazes, Yunhua nodded slightly, her expression calm; she had known about this news for a long time.
More accurately, she took the initiative to request to serve as the garrison commander of Crouching Ox Pass.
Yang Tianyou was one reason for this, but another was that she had always had this plan.
Yunhua cannot actually be considered a cultivator of the Luochuan Sect. The reason she serves as a Dharma Protector of the Luochuan Sect is more because of her identity as a member of the Yun Household.
Yunhua's second grandfather was named Yun Zhen, the Grand Elder of the Luochuan Sect, and the renowned Zhen Leizi of Qin Province.
Her grandfather, Yun Tian, was a Rogue Cultivator. He wasn't particularly talented, but he had many fortuitous opportunities and stumbled along the way, eventually reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
Decades ago, at the invitation of his younger brother Yun Zhen, Yun Tian did not hesitate to take his son to help Luochuan Sect carry out a mission. Both father and son unfortunately perished.
Yunhua's mother had passed away in an accident long before this, so Yunhua, who was only a teenager at the time, had to live with his second grandfather Yun Zhen, in the Luochuan Sect.
Fortunately, Yun Zhen treated Yunhua extremely well, spoiling her rotten and keeping her by his side to teach her all year round.
Of course, it cannot be denied that a large part of this was to make up for what he owed his elder brother.
Within the Luochuan Sect, Yunhua held a very extraordinary status.
After all, his second grandfather was Spirit Transformation cultivator, and the Yun Household was a major faction of the Luochuan Sect, so they had no shortage of cultivation resources.
She herself possessed Six-Yin Spirit Body, exceptional talent, and stunning beauty, attracting countless suitors.
It can be said that if Yunhua were willing, the position of one of the Three Heroes of the Luochuan Sect would be within her grasp.
However, despite repeated persuasion from the sect leader, True Person Beigong, and her second grandfather, Yunhua remained stubborn and refused to join the Luochuan Sect.
The reason is simple: both her grandfather and father perished while carrying out missions for the Luochuan Sect. It would be impossible for Yunhua not to harbor resentment.
Although Luochuan Sect treated her very well, which did alleviate some of her resentment, Luochuan Sect was ultimately responsible for the deaths of her grandfather and father.
In addition, after the Second Grandfather perished in the Cold Tide, the Yun Household's attitude also changed somewhat.
The Great Elder's Line also began to openly express their covetousness for the Six-Yin Spirit Body, which made Yunhua completely determined to leave the Luochuan Sect.
Serving as the garrison commander of Crouching Ox Pass was just the beginning. From then on, Yunhua would gradually break free from the influence of the Luochuan Sect and become completely independent.
Few people in the Luochuan Sect knew the inside story of her decision.
So although many people were surprised by this self-destructive behavior, they didn't think much of it beyond feeling sorry for it.
Sect Master True Person Beigong was naturally aware of the inside story, but he did not stop it.
This sect leader knew full well that forced relationships are never happy, and that forcing things would only create another enemy for the Luochuan Sect.
Moreover, Yunhua's actions were expected; the fact that she hadn't been accepted into the sect for so long was proof of that.
True Person Beigong had long anticipated this day, so it's not surprising.
He simply sent a message to Yunhua, saying things like that Luochuan Sect would always be her support, to deepen their bond.
Besides True Person Beigong, the Great Elder's Line of the Luochuan Sect also clearly understood why Yunhua was appointed as the garrison commander of Crouching Ox Pass, including Song Xuhui.
After Taihao True Person announced the news, Song Xuhui's expression remained gloomy.
Many people in the Luochuan Sect know that Song Xuhui is pursuing Yunhua and has publicly expressed his love for Yunhua on more than one occasion.
One reason for this is Yunhua's Peerless Beauty, but more importantly, it's for profit.
It should be noted that Yunhua's grandfather died because of the Luochuan Sect, and according to custom, the Luochuan Sect was supposed to provide a Nascent Soul Formation Pill as compensation.
As Yun Tian's only direct descendant, Yunhua is naturally the only suitable successor.
In addition, Yunhua's Six-Yin Spirit Body is, to some extent, a treasure, even more precious than the Nascent Soul Formation Pill.
The Six-Yin Spirit Body, also known Supreme-Yin Spirit Body, contains six strands of Extreme Yin Qi within its body.
However, six represents the extreme of Yin, and Yin gives rise to Yang. A female cultivator with Six-Yin Spirit Body will gradually develop a wisp of Supreme-Yang Qi within her body.
For male Cultivators, obtaining this Supreme-Yang Qi not only instantly increases their cultivation level, but also enhances their aptitude, cleanses their Root Bone, and brings unspeakable and immense benefits.
The prerequisite for this is to form a dual dao companion with Yunhua, because this Supreme-Yang Qi can only be truly activated during dual cultivation.
With a Nascent Soul Formation Pill and a Supreme-Yang Qi, anyone with decent talent can easily attain Nascent Soul!
Are there any cultivators with poor talent who can reach the Golden Core Realm?
Therefore, it is conceivable how much benefit Yunhua holds.
Keep in mind, this is Nascent Soul; there aren't many Nascent Soul experts in the entire Luochuan Sect.
No wonder that after Zhen Leizi's death, even the Yun Household had different thoughts; it's true that self-interest can move people's hearts.
Yunhua paid no attention to Song Xuhui's gloomy expression. He was just a Golden Core Cultivator who couldn't even get into the Luochuan River Three Heroes; she didn't even consider him a threat.
What Yunhua truly cared about was whether Sect Master True Person Beigong could withstand the pressure from the Grand Elder.
Although Second Grandfather and True Person Beigong relationship, Yunhua had experienced firsthand the saying, "When people leave, the tea cools."
Downstream of the Luochuan River, Luochuan Sect!
On the mountain peak, True Person Beigong and the Grand Elder sat facing each other, playing chess on a chessboard.
The Grand Elder's figure was somewhat illusory; this was a projection of his Divine Sense. His true body was currently overseeing things at Luochuan Pass.
"Grand Elder, Elder Yun has just perished for the sect. Let Yunhua go. This child still harbors resentment towards our Luochuan Sect. Forcing her to stay might only breed hatred!"
"Hehe, how could I not know? But the Six-Yin Spirit Body is of utmost importance. That Supreme-Yang Qi is merely a smokescreen. Do you, Sect Master, not know its true purpose?"
"Alas!! How could that senior's Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm be opened so easily? And even if it were opened, why would Yunhua, having obtained the inheritance, pass it on to us?"
"As long as she gets it, that's fine. Whether she pays it or not is not up to her!"
"Does the Grand Elder truly show no mercy whatsoever?" True Person Beigong's voice grew more forceful.
The Grand Elder was silent for a moment, then said, "We can do without people, but the inheritance must be handed over!"
"Alright! I'll go and say the word!" True Person Beigong's tone softened, and he let out a soft sigh.
"Thirty years from now, the Guanghan Realm will open. Tell Yunhua to prepare!"
The Grand Elder uttered the last word, his figure gradually disappearing, leaving only a lingering echo of his voice.
