Background & History

Mu Yun is a senior Blackbird Guard official whose cultivation places him just below a true Divine Mansion Realm martial artist. During the conflict with the Pure World White Lotus Sect, Red Ying identifies him as the Blackbird Guard's Second Deputy Division Head and considers him powerful enough to change the battle's balance. 219

He joins Li Chengxing in Azure Wind Valley, where the pair encounter Lu Xuan while investigating the remnants of Red Ying. Mu Yun initially remains quiet and guarded, but swiftly recognizes Lu Xuan's overwhelming Divine Mansion Realm strength. 229

After arriving in the Imperial Capital, Mu Yun and Li Chengxing personally wait outside Blackbird Guard Headquarters for Lu Xuan. Mu Yun becomes conspicuously eager to cultivate goodwill with him, addressing him as “Old Lu” and openly treating him as a powerful patron. 238 239

Mu Yun later accompanies Lu Xuan into Haoran Prefecture City's Ghost Realm. Netherworld Power breaches his body and nearly freezes his strength energy, but Lu Xuan saves him. Mu Yun subsequently helps establish the Star Moon Princess's fate by using the Image-Recording Mirror to document the city's lingering visions. 248 249

Following the destruction of Haoran Prefecture City, he leads Blackbird Guard operations against the Wen Family in Mingxin Prefecture. He directs the pursuit of Wen MoChen, oversees the execution of the Wen Family's core members, organizes civilian evacuations before a major explosion, and searches the ruined residence for its treasury and secret records. 252 253 256 257 260

When Wu Jiu attacks and attempts to cripple him using the Wu Family Old Ancestor's power, Mu Yun survives with the Azure Darkness Sword until Lu Xuan intervenes. Lu Xuan later hands the captured Wu Jiu over to Mu Yun, who executes him despite the Wu Family's threats. 261 264

Appearance

Mu Yun is an elderly man with weathered features, narrow eyes, and white hair. He is commonly seen in Blackbird Guard uniform, including a vivid red uniform described as resembling burning flames. 226 248 256

• Narrow eyes that sharpen noticeably when he detects danger or deception. 226 269
• White hair, occasionally left disheveled after battle. 256
• Wears Blackbird Guard uniforms in red or cyan. 248 269
• Usually carries the Azure Darkness Sword on his back. 261 269

Personality

Mu Yun is calm, stern, and highly conscious of authority. He maintains control while directing large-scale Blackbird Guard operations, prioritizing civilian safety, evidence collection, and the containment of threats. 251 257 260

He is also pragmatic about power. Upon realizing Lu Xuan's potential, Mu Yun deliberately seeks a close association with him rather than competing with him, believing Lu Xuan may eventually reach the level of Blackbird Guard Division Head Zi Yao. 238 239

Although normally reserved, Mu Yun bears grudges intensely. Wu Jiu's attempt to cripple him drives him to abandon concern for the Wu Family's status and personally ensure Wu Jiu cannot revive. 264
