Background / History

Yun Yun became the Misty Cloud Sect's sect master and was recognized as the Jia Ma Empire's youngest Dou Huang at a little over twenty years old. Upon emerging from seclusion, she treated reports of a mysterious Dou Zong near the empire's border as a potential threat, directing the sect to show the unknown expert courtesy if encountered 32 33.

She personally investigated after Gu He reported being rescued from Mulan Valley by the unknown expert. Although Gu He had long pursued her, Yun Yun made clear that she regarded him only as an elder brother and rejected his attempts to address her intimately 33.

Her investigation led her and Jia Xing Tian into the Tagor Great Desert, where they encountered Medusa and the Snake-People Clan. Medusa severely injured Yun Yun, and the Snake-People's leaders pursued her after she and Jia Xing Tian split up during their retreat 54.

Appearance

Yun Yun is an elegant woman who usually wears a plain dress and carries a strange longsword. As a Dou Emperor, she manifests solid cyan Dou Qi wings in flight 50 79.

• Graceful, willow-like aerial movement.
• Long, pale azure/cyan Dou Qi wings.
• A sharp, distinctive longsword used for wind-attributed techniques.
• Composed bearing befitting the Misty Cloud Sect's leader.

Personality

Yun Yun is calm, dignified, and politically cautious. She hears her elders' views, considers the consequences of involving the Misty Cloud Sect in outside conflicts, and prefers to investigate serious threats herself rather than act on speculation 32 33.

She is proud and resolute in battle. Even while badly injured and surrounded by five Snake-People Dou Kings, she refused to surrender and continued fighting with her strongest techniques 50 51. Her sense of responsibility also extends to her disciple Nalan Yanran and to the sect she was raised in; she later seeks to confront threats to the Misty Cloud Sect without relying entirely on Xie Tianxiao's protection 82 153.

In personal matters, Yun Yun is reserved and initially insecure about the disparity between her cultivation and Xie Tianxiao's. Over time, gratitude and affection become trust, then an openly acknowledged partnership 81 159.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Xie Tianxiao destroys the five pursuing Snake-People elders, gives Yun Yun a Seventh-Grade healing pill, and confirms his identity. Yun Yun recovers fully but becomes wary of the implications that an expert of his level could bring to the Misty Cloud Sect 53 54 56.

Purple Spirit Crystal Expedition

Seeking a Purple Spirit Crystal for Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun confronts the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Relationship with Xie Tianxiao

Yun Yun initially views Xie Tianxiao as an overwhelming yet enigmatic benefactor. She is hesitant to accept his confession because she considers herself unworthy of someone so powerful, though she admits to affection and asks for time to understand her feelings 81.

During the war involving the Jia Ma Empire, Mulan Valley, the Snake-People Clan, and Soul Hall, Yun Yun saves Jia Xing Tian with a Wind Spiral Wall and calls upon Yao Tianhuo to protect Yun Shan from Medusa 154. She later explains Xie Tianxiao's role in saving her and confirms his connection to the Sacred Palace before Yun Shan 156.

• Yun Shan — Her teacher and the previous sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect. Yun Yun remains devoted to him and seeks Yao Tianhuo's help when Medusa overwhelms him 152 154.
• Nalan Yanran — Her cherished disciple. Yun Yun sought the Purple Spirit Crystal specifically to accelerate Yanran's cultivation before her planned annulment of her engagement to Xiao Yan 82.
• Gu He — Misty Cloud Sect elder and longtime admirer. Yun Yun regarded him as an elder brother but never returned his feelings; he eventually leaves the sect to move on 33 187.
