Chapter 1715 – Anyone In The Same Generation Can Freely Challenge
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yunâs voice wasnât loud but firm, and the entire banquet fell into a dead silence. They were just back talking about Lin Xiao earlier, calling him human scum, and were planning to deal with him tomorrow. So they couldnât help feeling shocked when they saw that he was also present at the banquet.
Not only that, but no one noticed the ancient score that he played. They probably wouldnât have discovered that Lin Yun had sneaked into the banquet if it weren't for the Wind Edge Lord.
On the other hand, Yun Xi was shocked as she looked at Lin Yun. She couldnât believe Lilâ Lin was Lin Xiao, and she was just talking badly about Lin Xiao earlier. Most importantly, Lin Xiao didnât seem to be a bad person, as was rumored.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHeâs Lin Xiao?â
âIsnât he a little too boldâ¦?â
âHe actually sneaked into the West Garden Banquet without anyone knowing it?â Many people muttered, and their pupils were shocked when they looked at Lin Yun caressing his zither.
Xu Dongfei and Lan Hongyan were shocked when they saw Lin Yun, especially Xu Dongfei, who nearly dropped his wine cup. They still hadnât forgotten what happened in the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, and that experience had affected them greatly.
Although he spoke of Lin Yunâs âviciousâ actions earlier, he didnât mention how Lin Yun defeated him, even after he used a forbidden score. This was because it was too humiliating. As for Lan Hongyan, she was enveloped in fear, and she could feel her cheeks aching when she saw Lin Yun.
But they soon regained their composure because this was the West Garden Banquet, the Liu Clanâs residence, and the Wind Edge Lordâs territory. So Lin Yun was no different from courting death to come alone. Thinking about it, their gazes became eerie as they looked at Lin Yun.
On the other hand, Jiang Yu and Jiang Feng were shocked. When Jiang Feng saw Lin Yun, he was so terrified that his legs nearly wobbled. He asked in a trembling voice, âFather, what should we do?â
âWhy are you afraid of him? I was just troubled that I didnât have an opportunity to deal with him.â Jiang Yu said coldly.
âPretty impressive zither skills, Young Master Lin. Since you have such skills, why sneak your way in? You can just enter openly, and you donât need to sneak in.â The Wind Edge Lord said without any emotions in his words.
Lin Yun coming alone placed Wind Edge Lord in a difficult position. If he couldnât deal with this matter right, it would ruin his reputation when the news gets out.
âItâs only a moment of interest, and I have no intentions of hiding my identity, to begin with. But hearing everything you guys said and even wanting to go to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion tomorrow, itâd make no sense if I still didnât show up.â Lin Yun calmly replied, while everyone in the surroundings wore unnatural expressions.
No matter what, it was awkward that the person they were speaking badly of was listening amongst them.
âI initially only planned to look at this West Garden Banquet, but you guys insulted me repeatedly. So thereâs no way I can keep sitting around.â Lin Yun looked at everyone and continued, âI have an inferior background, and I donât dare to hold myself against everyone here. But all of you have insulted me when youâve never met me. So, isnât that a little too much?
âEven an ant has its own prestige. I might be untalented, but Iâd like to seek guidance from everyone here. I want to know where you guys got your confidence to insult me from.â Lin Yun said. He was donned a white robe, looking at everyone present.
But his voice was like a rumbling thunder that shocked everyone present. Everyone here was just insulting Lin Yun earlier and even said that they wanted to go to the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to capture him.
But now, Lin Yun was standing before them with his zither, challenging everyone present. Just his guts alone had shocked everyone.
Despite feeling unhappy, the Wind Edge Lord asked, âHow do you want to compete?â
âMartial dao or music dao, anything works. Anyone amongst the same generation can freely challenge me!â Lin Yun smiled, sweeping his gaze over without any fear in his pupils.
Hearing what Lin Yun said, the Wind Edge Lord became confident because what Lin Yun did was no different from courting death in his eyes.
âA mere dog dares to act with such impudence in the Wind Edge Lordâs West Garden Banquet? Do you treat me as if I donât exist? Do you think youâre qualified? Martial dao and music dao both work? Let me, Huang Xuanyi, challenge you, then!â Huang Xuanyi toyed with the wine cup in his hand and wore a playful smile. Looking at Lin Yun, he said, âDonât you like to call yourself a barbarian? Let us have some fun, then!â
âBrother Huang, go for it!â
âBrother Huang, well said!â
âNo wonder he was previously first on the Elysium Core Ranking. Teach him a lesson. Did he think heâs a figure just because the Wind Edge Lord is polite to him?â Huang Xuanyiâs words caused many people in the surroundings to echo along.
âBrother Huang, thereâs no need to waste your time on him. Youâre a genius of the holy land, and youâre only lowering your status to deal with someone like him. Itâll make us look like weaklings if we need a holy landâs genius to deal with a mad dog like him.â A blue-robed youth stepped out. He was a famous swordsman in the Vermillion Bird District, and he was at the seventh-pulse Dragon Pulse Realm!
âYour words make sense.â Huang Xuanyi smiled.
âHis cultivation is two stages higher than you, so you can leave now if you canât accept it. Iâll personally pay the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to deal with you tomorrow.â The Wind Edge Lord said.
âItâs fine.â Lin Yun replied indifferently.
âGreat!â The young swordsman stepped forth and stood before Lin Yun.
âYou guys can fight all you want. This place is reinforced by spiritual arrays, so you donât have to worry about destroying anything. You guys also donât have to worry about injuring anyone because I believe my Liu Saint Clanâs seniors will handle it.â The Wind Edge Lord wore a playful smile and raised his wine cup.
The blue-robed youth moved. He was fast, proving that he had practiced a formidable movement technique. When he drew his sword while dashing towards Lin Yun, his sword released a vibrating noise that perfectly fused with his Wind Intent.
His speed was neckbreaking, and he was already before Lin Yun when he drew his sword. Many people in the surroundings couldnât even tell if his sword reached Lin Yun first or if he moved first. When he swung his sword, a faint ripple spread out in the surrounding space, causing space to distort.
Ordinary people couldnât see through anything behind that strike, but everyone here was an expert. They could tell this blue-robed youth had perfectly fused his sword and wind intent. Furthermore, he even came in contact with the surface of space dao. Ordinary people wouldnât even know how they had died under this strike, not to mention blocking it.
âYou lost!â The blue-robed youth declared when he drew his sword. This was because he was confident in himself.
But when his sword was about to touch Lin Yunâs forehead, a dazzling light radiated from the surroundings as two fingers clamped onto his sword. Even when the sword began to vibrate, the sword could no longer budge.
When the blue-robed youth raised his head, a bizarre scene occurred. He felt as though he was in an ocean of sword intent, and Lin Yun was the deity of this ocean, looking at him. No matter how he raised his head, he couldnât look at Lin Yunâs actual appearance, and he could only see Lin Yunâs eyes.
No matter how he mustered his dragon origin, he couldnât withdraw his sword, no matter how he tried. This shocked the blue-robed youth as he circulated all seven of his dragon pulses. When thousands of saint runes were activated on the saint sword, terrifying flames ignited from the sword that made it look like a dragon. It struggled and roared as if it would shred Lin Yun into pieces when it broke free.
But a pure dragon roar echoed from within Lin Yunâs body, and his fingers gave off a faint radiance. Suddenly, the blue-robed youthâs saint sword began to shatter inch by inch, and each inch of the sword turned into a horrifying storm that swept through the entire West Garden Banquet.
This occurred too suddenly, instantly putting the West Garden Banquet into chaos. In the next moment, everyone watched as the blue-robed youth threw out a mouthful of blood before he was knocked flying away.
On the other hand, Lin Yun stood with one hand behind him, and he hadnât budged from where he was right from the start.
âIs this the best of your strength that gave you the confidence to insult me? It looks like youâre right; all of you are weaklings.â Lin Yun said while sweeping his gaze over. âA bunch of garbage thinks that you guys are a dragon after banding together?
âMartial dao or music dao, anything works. Anyone amongst the same generation can freely challenge me!â Lin Yunâs words were like a resounding slap to everyone present. Those who insulted Lin Yun earlier could feel a burning sensation on their cheeks, and their gazes became terrifyingly eerie.
There had never been such an arrogant person in the past West Garden Banquets. They initially thought Lin Xiao was just a reason for them to visit the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion tomorrow, but who couldâve thought Lin Yun would sneak into the banquet and challenge everyone?
There was no lack of arrogant people in the Heavenly Domainâs Unholy Sea, but it had been many years since there was such an arrogant person like Lin Xiao.
As for Yun Xi, who initially held enmity for Lin Yun, she was in a daze while looking at Lin Yun. She never expected Lin Xiao to be so upright, and he didnât look like a despicable person, as everyone said earlier.
The West Garden Banquet fell into silence once more, and no one could imagine that the blue-robed youth would be defeated so quickly. He was defeated too quickly and couldnât even touch the edge of Lin Yunâs robe.
Although the blue-robed youth could still put up a fight, anyone could tell that the blue-robed youth was just courting humiliation if he continued the fight.
âYouâre really arrogant!â Huang Xuanyi slammed his palm on the table. As he stood up, he coldly roared, âIt looks like I have to give you a beating today, no matter what!â
His hair fluttered in the wind, and the demeanor he gave off right now captivated everyoneâs attention.
