The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes were filled with rage and struggle, but in the end, faced with Yun Yun's overwhelming strength, it could only lower its head in defeat, its roars growing weak and powerless.

"Fine, you win."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King gritted its teeth, its voice laced with helplessness and resentment. "I'll give you the Amethyst Essence, but you must promise me one thing."

Yun Yun's eyes narrowed. She knew the lion wouldn't hand over the treasure so easily, but she was already prepared.

"Speak. As long as it doesn't go against the interests of my Yun Lan Sect, I'll consider it."

Her voice was cold and composed, a plan already forming in her mind.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King remained silent for a moment before finally speaking. "I want your word that the Yun Lan Sect will no longer trouble me. In return, I'll give you the Amethyst Essence."

Yun Yun smiled slightly, secretly relieved.

However, just as her fingers were about to touch the Amethyst Essence, she suddenly felt a strange energy surge from the stone, like a cold wind sweeping over her. She shivered involuntarily.

Before she could react, the Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a mocking laugh, its tone full of disdain and ridicule.

"Hahaha! Did you think this was all I had?" The lion's voice echoed in the cave, filling Yun Yun with a growing sense of foreboding.

As its laughter reverberated, a purple light quickly condensed, forming a glowing ring that enveloped Yun Yun like an invisible net.

Yun Yun felt her body growing heavier, the air around her seemed to freeze, and her strength was gradually being sealed by this mysterious power.

"What kind of sealing technique is this?" Yun Yun's heart sank. She could feel her power draining away, her entire body trapped in a purple darkness. She struggled with all her might, but the force binding her grew stronger, rendering her immobile.

"You treacherous Amethyst Winged Lion King! How despicable!" Yun Yun cursed through gritted teeth, her eyes flashing with fury and helplessness.

She knew she had fallen into a deadly trap, and the lion, as if foreseeing all this, continued to sneer at her from the sidelines.

Yun Yun could feel her strength fading fast. She fought desperately to break free from the binding of the Amethyst Seal, but the mysterious force wrapped around her like iron chains, holding her fast and making escape impossible.

"Curse you, Amethyst Winged Lion King! Let me go!" Yun Yun roared, her voice a mix of anger and despair.

She struggled with all her might, but the Amethyst Seal only tightened, like an invisible beast imprisoning her in an unbreakable cage.

Finally, just as she felt herself on the verge of being completely sealed, Yun Yun summoned the last of her strength. With one final, desperate effort, she hurled herself toward the cave entrance.

Her body shot through the air like a streak of lightning, sending a shower of purple sparks flying as she deflected the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attack.

"Don't think you can escape!"

The lion's eyes flared with fury as it chased after her, but Yun Yun, now beyond caring, sprinted for the cave's exit with all her remaining strength.

One thought dominated her mind: escape this dangerous place as fast as possible.

At last, she managed to shake off the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

But just then, a sudden, intense pain shot through her body.

"Ah!" Yun Yun let out a startled cry as she felt her body lose control, plummeting toward the river in the valley below.

Her body spun through the air, her clothes torn and blood streaming from her wounds.

In the end, she crashed heavily into the river, sending a spray of water into the air.

Her body floated aimlessly in the river, unconscious. Her vision blurred as her consciousness slipped away, and soon, she fell into complete darkness.

"What just happened?"

Nearby, Xiao Yan and his companions watched in astonishment as Yun Yun suddenly fell from the sky, their faces showing shock.

"What is going on?"

Little Doctor Fairy instinctively covered her mouth, unable to believe what she was seeing—an unconscious woman floating in the river.

Water No Horizon's face showed a hint of concern as he furrowed his brows, as though deep in thought.

"Isn't this scene happening a bit too early?"

He muttered to himself, his voice tinged with confusion. But then, he shook his head, seemingly dismissing the thought as unimportant.

"It's probably the butterfly effect."

He said to himself, not dwelling on it.

Xiao Yan, however, was filled with doubt as he stared at Yun Yun in the river.

He didn't know who this woman was, but judging by her aura and demeanor, she was clearly not an ordinary person.

"Who is she?" Little Doctor Fairy furrowed her brows, pondering the same question, her eyes filled with both confusion and concern.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath. There was no time to think. Without hesitation, he plunged into the river, extending his hand to pull Yun Yun out.

The icy river water sent a shiver through him, but he didn't hesitate for a second.

"Hurry, get her out!" Yao Lao shouted anxiously. Seeing Xiao Yan jump into the river to save someone made him feel an urgency as well.

Xiao Yan carefully lifted Yun Yun out of the water, carrying her to the shore. He scanned the surroundings quickly, looking for a sheltered spot.

Eventually, he chose a nearby cave. Gently holding Yun Yun, he walked into the cave.

The cave was dark, but it exuded a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, offering a sense of comfort.

Xiao Yan laid Yun Yun down on a flat stone surface, then lightly patted her face, trying to wake her up.

However, Yun Yun remained completely unconscious, showing no signs of waking.

After settling Yun Yun, Yao Lao examined her closely, a worried expression crossing his face.

He took a deep breath and turned to Xiao Yan, saying, "Xiao Yan, this young woman is under the Amethyst Seal. To break the seal, we'll need a pill called the Tranquil Spirit Pill."

"The Tranquil Spirit Pill?" Xiao Yan furrowed his brow. He recalled Yao Lao mentioning this pill before, explaining that it was particularly effective for lifting seals like this. Yao Lao had even taught him how to refine it.

"Yes, only the Tranquil Spirit Pill can weaken the sealing power on her."

Yao Lao nodded solemnly, his expression serious.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan retrieved a dazzling pill from his belongings—the treasured Tranquil Spirit Pill that he had kept safe for such moments.

He carefully placed the pill at Yun Yun's lips and gently fed it to her.

Yun Yun's lips moved slightly, and she slowly swallowed the pill.

Although she had not yet regained consciousness, her complexion improved, with a faint flush of color returning to her cheeks. She looked much better.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan finally felt a wave of relief wash over him.
