Chapter 141 - Noble
The Sovereign's Ascension
His words sounded out coldly, filled with killing intent that sent chills down everyoneâs spine. It was dead silent. Everyoneâs mouths were opened wide. Theyâd suspected that they misheard Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was extorting the two clans by himself?
The two clans were overlords in the Azure Sun County and they wouldnât put anyone in their eyes aside from their fellow overlord forces. They could easily eradicate an entire clan if they wanted to, but today they were being extorted by Lin Yun.
The spectators were all dumbfounded when they saw Lin Yun playing with fire.
âDid I mishear it?â
âYou did not...heâs trying to extort the Golden Flame Sect and Blood Cloud Sect!â
âI thought I was dreaming when the two Quasi-Profound Martial Realm cultivators allowed him to have the Cosmic Treasure. But heâs taking it a step further and extorting the two sects!â
âIs this what he wanted from the beginning?â
âAre you serious? Isnât this a little too insaneâ¦â
A clamor broke out in the surrounding after a moment of silence. There were all sorts of words, but no one dared to treat Lin Yunâs comments as a joke. After all, Lin Yun had just killed someone by flicking his fingers. At this point, no one dared to look down on him.
At the same time, they began to feel curious about how the two sects would react.
âWhat arrogance!â
âShameless!â
The two elders representing the two sects started cursing out. They were Quasi-Profound Martial Realm cultivators and their cultivation was a lot higher than Lin Yun.
The two of them had already taken a step back, but who would have thought that Lin Yun would give them a slap with so many people watching.
Looking at the two elders fuming with anger, Lin Yun embarrassedly smiled, âThanks for the praises. But Iâm afraid that Iâm still tender compared to the two of you. Before I forget, the two of you still havenât answered my question. Are you going to give me the Xiantian pellets?â
âYouâre courting death!â The two elders finally couldnât hold back anymore after listening to Lin Yunâs impudent speech, not to mention that he still dared to talk about Xiantian pellets.
âSkycovering Blood Hands!â The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder roared coldly and slammed his hand down at Lin Yun.
An illusory palm manifested and enveloped Lin Yun. The falling palm had materialized into a massive crimson bony hand.
The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder attacked with the intention of killing Lin Yun. His palm emitted waves of eerie killing aura. Eventually, his palm merged with heaven and earth, causing a suffocating aura to descend.
The attack of a Quasi-Profound Martial Realm had shocked everyone. His terrifying strength was supported by a cultivation that had accumulated his whole life.
âGeneral Slash Art!â
Boom!
The Golden Flame Sectâs elder also made his move. His clothes exploded as he emitted a dazzling radiance. He was like a blazing sun that rose into the air, shining down his dazzling brilliance, which caused the temperature to rise.
âQuasi-Profound Martial Realm! This is the Quasi-Profound Martial Realm strength!â
âWhat power...Iâm afraid that even seventh orifice cultivators wouldnât last a single exchange!â
âIt looks like the two elders are furious with Lin Yunâs humiliating speech.â
When the two elders unleashed their attacks, waves of exclamation came from the surrounding.
The massive crimson palm descended with a cold, murderous aura. Although the crimson palm descended slowly, Lin Yun knew that he had no chance of running away. The crimson palm enveloped him with a pressure that affected his spiritual energy and movement technique.
When he raised his brow to look at the Golden Flame Sectâs elder, Lin Yun suffered a greater shock. He knew that if it werenât for the Thunderblitz Battle Physique, he wouldâve probably been squashed into minced meat by that fist.
âTwo Quasi-Profound Martial Realm cultivators have made their moves⦠Iâm afraid that Lin Yun will really die this timeâ¦â
âWhat is Lin Yun trying to do?â
Everyone was baffled when they saw the smile on Lin Yunâs lips. He retreated and opened up his palm, revealing a token.
âSenior Iris, letâs see how strong your intent is!â Lin Yun wore a cold smile and sent his spiritual energy into the token. In the next second, the token released dazzling brilliance.
Boom!
A surge of terrifying sword intent gushed out from the token, enveloping the surrounding region in it. The radiance coming from it collected together and shot into the sky, ripping a hole in the layers of clouds.
âThis isâ¦?â The face of the Blood Cloud Sectâs elder changed with a trace of shock in his eyes.
Before he could even react, a silhouette dashed out from the token after Lin Yun exhausted two-thirds of his spiritual energy. That figure was donned in grey clothes, carrying a sword box behind him.
When he flew out from the token, he clashed with the descending palm.
Boom!
The surrounding air reverberated from the collision and shockwaves dissipated into the surrounding. Cracks began to spread out on the ground and the palm was torn apart shortly after.
Whoosh!
But that wasnât all. The grey-clothed figure also charged at the Golden Flame Sectâs elder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time the grey-clothed figure swung his sword, it would resonate with heaven and earth through its vibrations. Three swings later, the Golden Flame Sectâs elder was blasted down from the sky, creating a huge crater on the ground.
The grey-clothed figure did not stop there and appeared before the Blood Cloud Sectâs elder in a flash, causing the Blood Cloud Sectâs elder to be stunned. However, the Blood Cloud Sectâs elder only froze for a brief second before he gnashed his teeth and continued sending his palm out at Lin Yun.
Pfft!
The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder reacted swiftly, but not quite fast enough. He was struck on his chest by a sword. When the sword came in contact with his chest, his face paled and he was sent flying.
Huff! Huff!
The grey-clothed figure slashed his sword out three times with murderous intent in his eyes. The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder was smacked around, unable to put up any resistance. Although there wasnât much difference in their cultivation, the grey-clothed figure was simply too fast!
âCosmic Treasure!â
âThe Cosmic Treasure summoned that figure!â
The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder held onto his chest, looking at the grey-clothed figure who stood proudly in midair. It felt as though the grey-clothed figure could tear through the sky with his sword.
Looking at that prideful figure in midair, the Blood Cloud Sectâs elder felt powerless. He could only watch in fear as the grey-clothed figure walked over with the sword in his hand.
It was the approach of death that enveloped the Blood Cloud Sectâs elder.
Death? A thought that had never crossed his mind suddenly rang out. The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder was frightened as he yelled out, âLin Yun, Iâll agree to your terms!â
Whoosh!
Lin Yun waved his hand and recalled the grey-clothed figure. When the grey-clothed figure returned to the token, there was a slight crack on it.
Lin Yun clicked his tongue at this scene. The disciples of the Golden Flame Sect and Blood Cloud Sect were full of despair and the two elders had fear written all over their face. It looked like he had underestimated the power of Senior Irisâ intentâ¦
The Iris Sword Saint had told him that his intent was comparable to Profound Martial Realm cultivators, the Quasi-Profound Martial Realm.
The two elders were genuine Quasi-Profound Martial Realm cultivators, but the Iris Sword Saintâs intent completely crushed them. The two of them were scared to the point of trembling in fear.
The two might be in the same cultivation as Iris Sword Saintâs intent, but the gap between their strength was enormous. Lin Yun had no idea if those two were too weak or if cultivators from the golden age were simply too strong.
However, now wasnât the time for him to ponder over this matter. He stepped forward and smiled, âI apologize for what just happened, but hey, we wonât get to know each other well if we didnât fight. If itâs convenient for the two of you, you guys can hand the Xiantian pellets over now.â
The spectators had guessed it correctly. Since the beginning, Lin Yun intended to extort the two of them.
With the token in his hand, Lin Yun did not have to fear anyone in the Azure Sun Realm. In this secret realm, the two sects were like livestock for him to slaughter.
Even without using the Iris Sword Saintâs intent, there was no way the two elders could stop him if he were determined to escape.
Lin Yun had used all the resources on him to get his Iris Sword Sutra to the first stage. So how could he have enough resources to cultivate if he didnât resort to extortion?
The lips of the two elders twitched when they heard Lin Yunâs sarcastic words. If the two of them had a choice, they wouldâve never tried to provoke Lin Yun in the Azure Sun Realm.
â10,000 Xiantian pellets is too much. I only have about 2,000 on me.â The Blood Cloud Sectâs elders licked his cracked lips and replied helplessly.
The Golden Flame Sectâs elder also looked embarrassed and replied, âI also donât have much on me⦠I only have 3,000â¦â
âIâm sorry, but I believe the two of you mustâve misheard me. Iâm talking about 10,000 Xiantian pellets for each person, not 10,000 Xiantian pellets for your entire sect.â Lin Yun replied, which drove the two elders into a rage.
â10,000?! You might as well kill them all. Even if you slaughter everyone from my Blood Cloud Sect, I donât have 10,000 Xiantian pellets with me!â The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder spoke with a trembling voice and pale face.
âDo you think 10,000 Xiantian pellets can be found anywhere?â The Golden Flame Sectâs elder replied, gnashing his teeth.
However, Lin Yun did not reply and held onto his chin, which made the two elders panic when they saw that Lin Yun was keeping his silence.
A brief moment later, the Golden Flame Sectâs elder gritted his teeth, âI can still afford 4,000 Xiantian pelletsâ¦â
âMy Blood Cloud Sect can also take out 5,000 Xiantian pelletsâ¦â said the Blood Cloud Sectâs elder.
âNah, thereâs no need for that anymore. Iâve decided to kill all of you.â Lin Yun grinned. âSince the two of you are placed in such a difficult position, then Iâll clear out the garbage for you!â
Clang!
Lin Yun pulled the Flower Burial Sword out from the ground. When Lin Yun held onto the sword, his killing aura surged, which left the two elders terrified.
âDonât! Itâs not difficult, not difficult at all! Sir Lin, letâs talk peacefully!â The two elders knew that Lin Yun wasnât a softhearted person. If he said that he would slaughter all of them here, he would definitely keep his word.
âHereâs 8,000 Xiantian pellets and some treasures we found in the Azure Sun Realm. It should be enough to make up for the rest.â The Golden Flame Sectâs elder handed an interspatial pouch over to Lin Yun with a dark face.
â7,000 Xiantian pellets and some valuable herbs. This should be enough as well.â The Blood Cloud Sectâs elder also took out an interspatial pouch and handed it over to Lin Yun, with his cheeks trembling.
Receiving the interspatial pouches, Lin Yun examined them and smiled, âYou two seniors are truly noble to support a junior like me. I believe that the two of your deeds will definitely spread far and wide in the Azure Sun County!â
Pffft!
Few of the spectators burst out in laughter when they heard Lin Yunâs sarcasm. After today, this would definitely be a stain on the history of the two sects for at least a century!
