Chapter 1215 - The Younger Generation Suppresses the Older Generation
The Sovereign's Ascension
The sound of the heaven-shattering instantly drew everyoneâs attention as they saw a crimson blade suspended in the heavens like the fang of an ancient ominous beast. Based on the demonic aura that the blade released, it was clear that this was a demonic saint artifact.
The blade made Lin Yun squint his eyes because the blade was awfully familiar. But Lin Yun soon widened his mouth because he finally recalled where he saw this blade. If it was really as he had speculated, then it might be even more troublesome for them.
âHehe, Iâm here!â A burst of laughter sounded out as a figure appeared from the broken heaven and grabbed onto the demonic blade. When he landed on the ground, a powerful wave of demonic aura swept out that made the ground tremble.
âYan Tie, seventh guardian of the Sky Bale Pavilion greets Young Master Luo under the pavilion masterâs orders!â Yan Tie smiled and bowed toward Luo Hua. This made both Lin Yun and Bai Ting look at Luo Hua with surprise. After all, the newcomer was the same demonic cultivator that stood in their path back in the third layer of heaven when he was tempering his saint artifact with lightning.
Fortunately, Luo Hua recognized this person and threatened him with the Sword Sectâs name, causing him to retreat. But now, he appeared before them as their backup, so it was unavoidable for the two of them to be shocked.
Nodding her head, Luo Hua said, âGet up.â
Looking at Luo Hua, Yan Tie rejoiced that he didnât take it too far back then because even the pavilion master had to listen to this woman. He then swept his gaze around and smiled, âYou people need to have some shame as experts of the righteous path. My Blood Fang Blade is also a thousand-rune saint artifact although itâs not comparable to the Lightning Shadow Sword. I wonder if you guys are interested?â
The nine figures were dumbfounded with great shock. They couldnât believe that an expert of the demonic path actually listened to Luo Hua, not to mention that the Sky Bale Pavilion was a powerful sect with a terrifying foundation.
âHmmm? Arenât you the old geezer of the Feng Clan?â Yan Tieâs eyes suddenly lit up when he saw a person among the nine and slashed out with his blade. When the thousand-rune saint artifact was activated, it dyed the entire sky red.
When everything returned to normal, one of the people masked by the black mist revealed his appearance with a sword that was snapped in half. The old man was emitting a terrifying aura and was sent flying with a huge gash on his chest.
When Lin Yun saw this person, this person had an uncanny resemblance to Feng Xuanzi. He instantly knew that this person was from the Feng Clan!
When the old manâs identity was revealed, he immediately turned around and left. The eight other experts also took several steps back as they looked at Yan Tieâs blade with lingering fear in their pupils.
Shortly after, they didnât hesitate to leave knowing that there was nothing they could do to Yan Tie. Otherwise, it would be awkward if their identity was revealed because it would put a huge stain on their reputation.
âHmmm? Is it really that embarrassing to snatch things? Why are they running so fast?â Yan Tie grinned when everyone left. To someone of the demonic path, stealing was simply the norm.
At the same time, the geniuses who rushed over from the city were completely shocked by Yan Tieâs strength because they didnât expect that a demonic expert would be here wielding a thousand-rune saint artifact to aid Lin Yun.
âThe biggest trouble is here,â said Yan Tie with his brows locked while he tightened his grip on his blade.
His words made Lin Yunâs heart tremble while he began to wonder who could make someone like Yan Tie be wary. It looked like the Lightning Shadow Sword was endlessly troublesome. It was difficult to intimidate everyone without killing a few people.
Right at this moment, boundless sword intent surged forward from the horizon and the strong gale forced Lin Yun to close his eyes. When he managed to open his eyes, he could see a white-clothed elder standing before them.
âIâm Liu Tianyi of the Skysolute City,â smiled an old man at Lin Yun.
The old manâs introduction immediately caused an uproar because the Skysolute City was a haven that the Sword Emperor created. Gongsun Yan also quickly came out from the crowd, cupping his hands together while he suppressed his excitement, âJunior Gongsun Yan, greets Elder Liu!â
âAn outer disciple of the Sword Emperorâs lineage. Youâre a decent talent and Iâve heard about you.â Liu Tianyi nodded his head. His words immediately made Gongsun Yan excited because he knew about his position despite others calling him a disciple of the Sword Emperorâs lineage.
After all, a subsidiary force would always be a subsidiary force and it could never be compared to disciples cultivating in the Skysolute City. But there was no doubt that this was a huge opportunity for him. As long as this senior was happy, it would be easy for him to join the Skysolute City.
But Liu Tianyi merely praised Gongsun Yan and his gaze was fixed on Lin Yun. When he looked at Lin Yunâs forehead, even he couldnât help wearing shock on his face. Looking at Lin Yun, he finally spoke out, âYouâre Lin Yun, right? Are you interested in joining the Sword Emperorâs lineage?â
His words made the chuckling Gongsun Yan go stiff. He was the one who called the elder of the Skysolute City here, but he didnât expect that the elder would invite Lin Yun to the Sword Emperorâs lineage instead.
âThere are geniuses in the sword like you in the Skysolute City, and there are also those who are stronger than you. Youâre talented in the sword, and I believe you can fully excavate your potential under our guidance,â said Liu Tianyi with interest blazing in his pupils.
His words immediately made the crowd explode because they didnât think that Lin Yun could leave the city, let alone get a recruitment offer.
âThis fellow is really lucky!â Gong Haoranâs eyes were blazing with jealousy.
âGongsun Yan probably even wants to throw out blood. After all, he was so confident that he would have the opportunity to join the Skysolute City. Instead, Lin Yun is getting that opportunity,â smiled Zhao Yan.
âNot interested.â Lin Yun declined without any hesitation, which made everyoneâs heart ache.
âHey, donât tell me you donât even know who the Nine Emperors are.â Even Yan Tie had locked his brows together looking at Lin Yun in confusion. After all, everyone in Kunlun Realm knew of the Nine Emperorsâ fame, not to mention that the Sword Emperor was the only emperor in the sword. So the haven created by him was naturally the holy land of all swordsmen. How could Lin Yun refuse the offer?
âHeâs a disciple of the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect, so Iâm sorry about that!â Bai Ting said while he gritted his teeth.
âThe Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect?â Liu Tianyi frowned upon hearing that because he had never heard of this sect before.
âElder, itâs a subsidiary force of the Sword Sectâ¦â Gongsun Yan whispered in Liu Tianyiâs ears.
âLooks like I was being rude.â Liu Tianyiâs tone became less friendly and a lot more polite, which surprised Lin Yun. Could it be that the Sword Sect and Sword Emperorâs lineage had a grudge or something?
Lin Yun didnât know this yet, but his guess was right on the money. However, he wouldnât learn more about it until he arrived at the Sword Sect. The grudge between the Sword Sect and Sword Emperorâs lineage wasnât simple.
âI heard that you retrieved the Lightning Shadow Sword, and I have a strong obsession with the Mo Clanâs treasures, especially their swords. Iâm willing to trade it for other treasures and I wonât make you suffer a loss,â said Liu Tianyi.
âThis sword belongs to the sect master and Lin Yun canât make that decision. If senior is interested, you can make a trip with us to the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect,â smiled Bai Ting. After all, it would be great for them to have a bodyguard back in the Fleeting cloud Sword Sect.
âThat troublesome?â Liu Tianyi frowned and asked, âYoung lad, do you mind letting me take a look at the sword?â
âThis is fine.â Lin Yun retrieved the Lightning Shadow Sword and handed it over to Liu Tianyi. He didnât fear that he would be robbed. This also made Gongsun Yanâs heart throb seeing it.
When Lin Yun saw that Liu Tianyi wanted to draw the sword out, he warned, âJust seeing it is good enough. You might not be able to draw it out.â
His words made the corner of Gongsun Yanâs lips twitch as he glared at Lin Yun coldly, âLin Yun, you better be polite. How can an elder of the Sword Emperorâs lineage not be able to draw a saint artifact?â
But Liu Tianyi smiled instead, âItâs fine. To an ordinary expert in the Dragon Pulse Realm, they might really not be able to draw out this sword. But itâs nothing to⦠me⦠ughhâ¦â
The smile disappeared from Liu Tianyi as he tried pulling out the sword. He was in an awkward position now and Gongsun Yanâs face became ugly as he immediately regretted his words to Lin Yun.
âSome space please,â said Liu Tianyi before he wore a grave expression. In the blink of an eye, he summoned nine dragon pulses that caused a violent gale to sweep in the surroundings.
âThis old geezer is pretty strong,â muttered Yan Tie with deep fear flashing across his pupils.
Then, a dazzling sword ray shined out of Liu Tianyiâs body that formed a beam that shot into the sky. The beam alone had broken through two layers of heaven and the sword aura he was emitting made many people close their eyes. But even so, the Lightning Shadow Sword still didnât budge.
This scene made Gongsun Yanâs jaw drop. But Lin Yun was calm because he already knew that this sword had a foul temper. After all, it would rather snap than submit to him. So how could it possibly submit to a Dragon Pulse Realm expert?
âLet me help you,â said Lin Yun.
âYou can draw it out?â Liu Tianyi looked at Lin Yun with doubt in his pupils.
But before he could finish, Lin Yun smiled and drew the sword out easily. This scene made Liu Tianyi feel dazed briefly before he sighed, âItâs true, the younger generation surpasses the older generation. Iâll be taking my leave then.â
Without any hesitation, Liu Tianyi left.
