Su Nan asked, "Whose territory is this city? Don't you want to invite us over?"

Yuquan Zhenren took a step forward and said, "My Lord, this is a city under my Qingyun Sect. If you want to rest, why don't you go to Qingyun Mountain? Let me show my hospitality and make amends for your sins."

Su Nan nodded. "All the sects here, those above the elder level, follow me up the mountain. The rest will wait here. Uncle and Mo Yu will also come with me. Yuquan, you lead the way."

"Master Immortal, please!" Yuquan Zhenren led the way. Those who were qualified to go up the mountain were all strong. With their flying speed, they soon saw Qingyun Mountain.

Qingyun Mountain, like a breathtaking fairyland, stands tall and majestic from afar, towering amidst the shrouded clouds. Its undulating peaks, layered one upon another, resemble giant dragons winding and circling, soaring into the sky. Lush greenery and towering ancient trees crisscross the mountain, like nature's most exquisite masterpiece, each leaf imbued with endless vitality and spiritual energy.

As Su Nan and the others approached, Qingyun Mountain revealed its unique charm. Clouds and mist swirled around the mountain, creating a dreamlike, almost mystical world. The mist sometimes gathered in clusters, sometimes dispersed like smoke, adorning Qingyun Mountain like a fairyland, a breathtaking sight.

When Su Nan and the others flew near Qingyun Mountain, they saw a gurgling mountain stream, crystal clear, its water flowing through the rocks, making a crisp and pleasant sound. Wildflowers bloomed by the stream, butterflies fluttered, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and earth, inviting one to take a deep breath and savor this gift from nature.

Finally, Su Nan and the others entered the main hall of Qingyun Mountain. The hall was magnificent, adorned with golden emeralds and splendid shrines, its gate towering high, like a mysterious passageway to another world. Inside, the carved beams and painted buildings were exquisitely crafted, each stroke revealing the craftsman's exquisite skill and boundless wisdom. In the center, a majestic statue stood, its face benevolent and its gaze penetrating, as if it could see through everything in the world.

Su Nan and the others entered the main hall, and Yuquan Zhenren invited Su Nan to take a seat. Su Nan didn't hesitate and sat down on the huge immortal throne. Mo Shang and Mo Yu also sat down with their hands hanging down, while the rest of the people stood in the hall with their heads bowed.

Su Nan said slowly, "You've been trying to figure out what price to pay along the way, right?"

No one knew how to answer.

Su Nan then said, "It's very simple. You can keep your lives, or continue to be the leaders of your respective sects. However, you don't have to obey the Shengwu Xianzong anymore, because they will follow in your footsteps."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Yuquan Zhenren was the first to break the silence. He cupped his hands and said, "Immortal Master, this matter is of no small importance. The Shengwu Immortal Sect has a vast influence in the Northern Territory. If we openly defy them, I'm afraid we'll be wiped out."

Su Nan sneered, "Hmph, do you think you can stay safe if you continue to obey them? Do you think the Shengwu Immortal Sect will let you go after what happened today?"

Everyone was shocked and fell into deep thought, thinking of the Shengwu Xianzong's usual domineering style.

At this time, an elder in a black robe stepped forward and said, "Master Immortal, we are willing to follow your instructions, but this matter requires further consideration. After all, the Shengwu Immortal Sect has a deep foundation and cannot be easily challenged."

Su Nan's eyes were like lightning as he glanced at everyone: "Take a long-term view? How long do we have to wait? Now that I am here, what are you afraid of? As long as you unite, what can the Shengwu Xianzong do to you? Don't worry, this matter can be resolved within seven days. Now I only ask for your decision!" Su Nan's words were clear. If they fought against the Shengwu Xianzong, they could at least survive for a few days. Otherwise, they would die on the spot.

Immortal Yuquan gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Immortal Master, I am willing to surrender." With him taking the lead, other sects followed suit.

Of course, Su Nan would not believe that they would really surrender. It was just a delaying tactic.

She sneered and took out a handful of pills: "Each of you take one pill."

After saying that, the pill flew out by itself, and one was floating in front of no one. The pill was black and purple in color, with nine golden patterns on it, and it emitted a faint pill fragrance. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a pill that could improve one's strength.

Just as everyone was hesitating, Master Yuquan took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

He thought clearly that in the current situation, instead of being hesitant, it would be better to give Su Nan a good impression and leave life or death to fate. If he didn't eat, he might become a corpse immediately, but if he ate, the chances of survival would be greater.

Liu Meiniang and Shan Qing looked at each other, took the pill and swallowed it, and the others followed suit.

Su Nan nodded. "What you took is called the Purple Huan Pill. It's specially made by me. It's very simple. If you even show the slightest resistance, spiritual energy will flow back, and you will be filled with spiritual energy and explode within ten breaths. Of course, unless I am killed instantly before I can trigger it, I think the possibility of this is almost non-existent."

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to resist. They didn't even dare to curse in their hearts. They could only express that they would never betray.

Su Nan didn't care what they thought. He would be willing to do it after seven days.

……

Su Nan really likes Qingyun Mountain. When she was bored in modern times, she would read some novels about cultivating immortals and had seen descriptions of the immortal mountain. But when she saw Qingyun Mountain, she realized that novels were just imagination after all, and the real appearance was several times more beautiful than the novels.

Su Nan walked and stopped, accompanied by Mo Yu and Yuquan Zhenren. The others found a place to rest, as they still had to witness the change of leadership in the Northern Territory in seven days.

Su Nan stood on Qingyun Mountain and looked around. Suddenly, he pointed at a peak in the distance that towered into the clouds and asked, "What's that place?"

Immortal Yuquan replied, "My Immortal Master, that's the Lingyun Mountains, a thousand miles in radius. The peak you're pointing to is called Poyun Peak, but it's just an ordinary mountain, towering into the clouds. Normally, you'd only see clouds and mist shrouding it. Qingyun Mountain and Lingyun Mountain were once known as the Twin Cloud Mountains, but they're completely different. Qingyun Mountain is rich in spiritual energy and relatively flat, making it suitable for a sect. That's why my master founded the Qingyun Sect and named it after it. Meanwhile, the Lingyun Mountains are more than twice as high as Qingyun Mountain, and their spiritual energy is weak. Monsters and medicinal herbs are scarce, so no one lives there."

After hearing this, Su Nan became interested and flew to the top of Poyun Peak.

Mo Yu and Yuquan Zhenren followed closely behind.

When Su Nan reached the summit of Poyun Peak, the sight before him was breathtaking. Beneath his feet lay a massive, solid mountain, vast enough to accommodate a small city. Half of Poyun Peak was above the clouds, surrounded by a wisp of mist that flowed like a veil. Sunlight filtered through the thin layer of clouds, its golden light intertwining with the pristine white mist in a dreamlike, almost ethereal scene.

Looking out into the distance, a sea of ​​clouds billows, with rolling hills looming within it like fairy islands on the sea. Sometimes, the wind blows, and the clouds instantly transform into shapes like galloping horses or the dancing sleeves of fairies. Above these clouds, the wind whistles like the most ancient music between heaven and earth.

The ground at Cloud Breaking Peak is not flat, but rather jagged and rocky. Some boulders soar into the clouds, while others are shaped in various shapes, like natural sculptures. Between the cracks in the rocks, exotic flowers and plants grow tenaciously, blooming brilliantly in the thin air and cold environment, adding a touch of vitality and agility to this cold world.

At the edge of the mountain, a steep cliff juts out. Looking down, one sees a bottomless expanse of mist, awe-inspiring. Occasionally, a large bird emerges from the mist, chirping off into the distance, further highlighting the solitude and vastness of this place. Here, time seems to have stood still, and all the worldly noise is isolated beneath the clouds. Only inner tranquility and a reverence for nature fill the heart.

"Beautiful, extremely beautiful!" Su Nan was in an extremely good mood. She loved this place so much. Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind.

"Wonderful..."
