Chapter 1214 - Guest from the Heaven
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lilâ Purple was drowning with sins? Luo Hua wanted to kill Lilâ Purple? There was naturally no way he would allow that, not to mention that Luo Hua didnât have a reason to do so. But the current atmosphere was terrible.
But this was the first time he sensed such a domineering aura from Luo Hua, not to mention Luo Huaâs demand wasnât too much. After all, she only asked him not to stand in front of Lilâ Purple.
Lin Yun understood Luo Hua well. She wouldnât make a demand casually, but the moment she did, it would be hard for anyone to change her mind. After a brief pondering, Lin Yun looked at Lilâ Purple and said, âSheâs only a child.â
âSheâs not,â replied Luo Hua.
Hearing that made Lin Yun briefly stunned. Truth be told, Lin Yun always wondered why Lilâ Purple was sealed by the Iris Sword Saint for 100,000 years. If Lilâ Purple didnât do anything wrong, no one would imprison her for 100,000 years without reason. After all, being imprisoned for so long was a worse punishment than death for many people. So perhaps Luo Hua was right, and maybe only she could see the sins of Lilâ Purple.
Lilâ Purple hid behind Lin Yun nervously, which made him sigh, âSheâs really only a child.â
Luo Hua fell silent for a long time before she smiled, âIndeed, but sheâs a little too unreasonably pretty. Donât have any thoughts about her or I wonât let you go.â
Seeing Luo Hua choose to take a step back, Lin Yun felt relieved and smiled, âYouâre not injured anywhere, right?â
âThey canât hurt me,â said Luo Hua with confidence filled in his tone. But she pondered briefly before she looked at Lilâ Purple, âThe Ice Phoenix Bracelet must be made by you, right? I like it.â
âItâs good that you like it. Itâs just one bracelet,â said Lilâ Purple unhappily. Clearly, she was still holding a grudge against Luo Hua, but she didnât reveal it openly either because she was afraid of Luo Hua.
âSomeoneâs coming.â Lilâ Purple raised her head to look at the sky because she disappeared into the sword box.
Seeing this scene, Luo Hua finally knew why she failed to discover Lilâ Purpleâs existence. So it turns out that Lilâ Purple had been hiding in the sword box. Right at this moment, two figures descended from the sky, Bai Ting and the Huang Clanâs patriarch.
Huang Clanâs patriarch was calm as though he had already expected the disaster tonight. He glanced at Lin Yun and Luo Hua before he said, âYou better leave now. I can no longer protect you.â
âWeâve been trouble to you.â Lin Yun pondered briefly before he took out a Nirvana Pellet, âPlease accept this as a gift of gratitude from me.â
He only had two Nirvana Pellets left, and now he only had one more. The Huang Clanâs patriarch was surprised because he didnât expect that the arrogant Lin Yun from the Sword Assembly would have such a meticulous side to him. Accepting the Nirvana Pellet, he smiled, âTake care of yourself well. If you donât really have a choice, then give the Lightning Shadow Sword away. According to what I know, Jian Jingtian has already given up on this sword a long time ago. I have no idea why heâs asking you to retrieve it after so many years.â
The Huang Clanâs patriarch basically confirmed Lin Yunâs speculations. Clearly, the old geezer wanted to use the three arrays to temper him. Nodding his head, Lin Yun turned to look at Bai Ting, âElder, is there any news from the sect master? He should be coming to pick us upâ¦â
Bai Tingâs lips twitched when he heard that and said, âThe sect master said that weâre on our own. As for the Lightning Shadow Sword, you can give it to whoever you want. You can even keep it if youâre not afraid of death. He has to stay in the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect and he canât come for us.â
If it was in the past, Lin Yun would have been speechless. But now that it was just a matter of time for him to grasp the divine firmament sword intent, he knew what the old geezer was planning. Then again, he wasnât happy.
âLooks like you guys donât know about Jian Jingtianâs story.â The Huang Clanâs patriarch suddenly smiled, âThereâs no way he can leave the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect. Then again, not many people know about this even though 18 years have passed.â
âWhat is it?â Lin Yun and Bai Ting were both curious when they heard that.
With lament on his face, the Huang Clanâs patriarch sighed, âBack then, he was the most outstanding disciple of the Radiant Sword Saint, and also a monstrous genius of the Sword Sect. He was ranked number one on the empyrean, elysian, and dragon pulse ranking. He swept through all geniuses in his generation and became known as the hope for the Sword Sect to return back to being a sacred ground. But he committed a grave mistake and was expelled from the sect by the Radiant Sword Saint. When the Sword Sect expelled him, the Sword Sect also took back his surname and he was punished to never leave the Profound Azure Prefecture in his lifetime.â
Lin Yun was greatly shocked when he heard that the old geezer was ranked first on the three rankings. It was simply unfathomable. He didnât think that the old geezer was so strong in the past.
âT-The sect master is a disciple of the Radiant Sword Saint? Why havenât I heard of it before? How is this possible?!â Bai Ting was even more shocked as his attention was on the Radiant Sword Saint rather than ranked first on the three rankings.
âIs this Radiant Sword Saint strong?â Lin Yun muttered while he held onto his chin.
âHe is one of the three sword saints in the Eastern Desolation,â explained Bai Ting.
âAfter Jian Jingtian, the sword saint never accepted another disciple. Anyway, you better leave now because my place canât handle more of this trouble. Young lad, remember that your life is more important than a sword, and Jian Jingtian has already given up on this sword,â sighed the Huang Clanâs patriarch.
Lin Yun wore a complicated expression when he heard that. Jian Jingtian might have let go of this sword a long time ago, but he didnât. After all, this was a thousand-rune saint sword forged by the Mo Clan, and he could easily kill a lesser Elysium Core Realm expert with just ten saint runes.
When the three of them left the Huang Clanâs manor, they sensed several auras on them belonging to Dragon Pulse Realm experts.
âLin Yun is out!â
âHeâs alive?â
âI thought he already died based on the commotion in the Huang Clan. This fellow is really fortunate.â Their appearance immediately caused an uproar among the geniuses. Evidently, the chaos in the Huang Clan had attracted everyoneâs expectation and they had predicted that Lin Yun wouldnât be able to leave the Azure Rock County. Gongsun Yan, Gong Haoran, Zhao Yan, and the rest from the Sword Assembly were among them.
They were also curious if Lin Yun could return to the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect alive. After all, the Lightning Shadow Sword had attracted all the experts from the older generation. Who knew how many old monsters were hidden in the city.
âThe temptation of the Lightning Shadow Sword is really huge,â said Luo Hua as she swept her gaze around calmly.
âYoung Master Luo, donât you have any arrangements?â Bai Ting said uneasily while he comforted the Profound Astral Bird.
âLetâs leave the city first,â said Luo Hua while she got on the Profound Astral Bird with Lin Yun behind her. Just like that, the group of three flew out of the city on the Profound Astral Bird.
âFollow them!â Countless figures in the city also flew into the sky and chased behind the Profound Astral Bird.
The Profound Astral Birdâs speed was fast, and it left the city very quickly. Seeing that none of the Dragon Pulse Realm experts made a move, Bai Ting felt relieved. It seemed like the Dragon Pulse Realm experts didnât want to act against a junior and become a joke.
But in the next second, several powerful auras swept out, causing the Profound Astral Bird who wanted to break through the first layer of heaven to panic. This also made Bai Tingâs face change because the pursuers ultimately came.
Following this was an immense pressure that forced the Profound Astral Bird to the ground. When they looked around, they could see several figures enveloped in black mist to cover their appearances.
âHand the Lightning Shadow Sword over!â A hoarse voice sounded out. Clearly, it was masked so no one could recognize the individual.
âThere are so many people here, so who should I hand it to? Why donât you come and take it yourself?â Lin Yunâs eyes flashed with ridicule. He had the Firmament Battle Cloth, so he wasnât afraid of those in the Dragon Pulse Realm.
âLeave the sword behind and then you can go,â said another person.
When Lin Yun turned his head over, he could see that this person was also enveloped in black mist. When he looked again, he saw a total of nine people surrounding them.
There was no doubt that they were Dragon Pulse Realm experts who showed up after confirming that Luo Hua didnât have any Dragon Pulse Realm experts protecting her. So this was why they didnât bother to conceal their strength.
âGet lost. You have no authority to speak here!â
âYouâre only an ant in our eyes. Donât bother trying to make us fight among ourselves. Leave the sword behind and weâll deal with it ourselves.â
âYou should be thankful that we spared your life. Otherwise, even that young lass beside you will die to our rage.â
âDonât think of fighting against us. An expert in the Dragon Pulse Realm isnât someone you can offend. You wouldnât even know how you died if we wanted you dead!â The nine figures stood proudly in the sky, completely disregarding Lin Yunâs existence.
This made Lin Yunâs eyes flashed with killing intent. Just when he wanted to summon the Firmament Battle Cloth to smack these people to ddeath, Luo Hua suddenly held onto his wrist and said, âHeâs here.â
âDonât bother hiding. If you were really from an ancient saint clan, how could you not have any Dragon Pulse Realm experts around you? Feng Xuanzi might be afraid of you, but we arenât. Thereâs nothing you can do!â The nine figures sneered, thinking that Luo Hua was just trying to put up a strong front.
But right at this moment, heaven broke as a crimson figure descended from the sky enveloped with a demonic aura.
âA demonic cultivator.â Lin Yun was surprised. Could this person really be the backup Luo Hua talked about?
