Chapter 1995 - Battle Begins!
The Sovereign's Ascension
It was Lin Yun with a pair of Golden Crow Wings behind him. The Golden Crow Wings were too striking in the Myriad Graves Valley. But the Blood Crow was too fast, and Lin Yun couldnât be bothered about anything else. As a sword vibration echoed, the Flower Burial Sword turned into a streak of light, shooting at the Blood Crow.
The Flower Burial Sword left behind ripples as it flew forth. The Blood Crow screamed, letting go of Bai Qingyu to avoid the sword.
Bai Qingyuâs body fell from the sky, and she would probably have been heavily injured if she had fallen to the ground from such height. But a black shadow flashed, and Lilâ Red caught her. After catching her, Lilâ Red sighed, âSo heavy.â
âYou fat cat! How dare a pet like you call me fat!â Bai Qingyu was injured, but she roared when she heard Lilâ Red say she was heavy. But when she finished, she fainted right away.
Ten moves later, the Blood Crow was shredded as Lin Yun landed on the ground and held onto Bai Qingyuâs wrist. He said, âJust some ominous aura and her injuries arenât serious.â
âThis woman is too annoying. You should just let her die,â Lilâ Purple said in an annoyed tone.
âLetâs talk about it after sheâs awake.â Lin Yun fed a pellet to Bai Qingyu and said, âLilâ Red, you carry her.â
âBig Brother, sheâs really heavy,â Lilâ Red muttered.
But the unconscious Bai Qingyu seemed to have heard it and muttered, âIâm not heavy.â
Lin Yun couldnât help smiling at this scene because she was actually concerned about her weight when she nearly died.
âSheâs clearly heavy.â Lilâ Red said reluctantly as it followed behind Lin Yun.
Half a stick of incense later, three figures arrived. Ye Qinghong coldly said, âThat golden radiance should be the Golden Crow Wings.â
Zhang Kui closed his eyes as a white radiance was being emitted from him, and the dust particles in the air began to shine with different colors. When Zhang Kui opened his eyes, his pupils squinted, and he could sense ten-odd different auras in the dust particles.
It turned out that Zhang Kui practiced an eye technique. Eye techniques were rare in the Kunlun Realm, with few inheritances. His eye technique was called the Myriad Demon Pupils, one of the oldest inheritances of the Zhang Clan. It was rumored that one could even change space upon being cultivated to the pinnacle.
âAside from Ye Qingtian, thereâs another person, Bai Qingyu. They just fought a Blood Crow,â Zhang Kui said.
âIt is a little troublesome that Bai Qingyu is also hereâ¦â Ye Qinghong frowned.
âWhat trouble is there? This is the Myriad Graves Valley, and one or two dying makes no difference,â Xiao Jingyan smiled. âWe can just say that Ye Qingtian killed Bai Qingyu, and the Bai Clan even has to thank us for it.â
Ye Qinghong and Zhang Kui were briefly stunned. They were both ruthless people, but they were inferior to Xiao Jingyan.
Ye Qinghongâs face changed, and he smiled, âThis is a pretty good idea.â
âJunior Brother Zhang, lead the way,â Xiao Jingyan smiled. Zhang Kui didnât say anything and chased in the direction Lin Yun left in. To the Zhang Clan, Ye Qingtian had to die today, no matter what.
It was practically certain that Ye Qingtian was behind what Zhang Yue suffered. Since Bai Qingyu was also here, they could only consider her unlucky.
Four hours later, Lin Yun stopped and decided to rest. Bai Qingyu had awakened. Her complexion was much better, and she had changed her clothes. She even recovered from the injuries on her shoulders after consuming a Profound Wither Pellet.
She was fine now, except that her complexion was a little ugly. She already realized that she would only hold Ye Qingtian down in the Myriad Graves Valley, which greatly struck her pride. She was initially optimistic that she could regain her confidence while being in the Myriad Graves Valley, wanting to save Ye Qingtian once. Otherwise, she would feel guilty about scolding Ye Qingtian in the future. But she didnât expect to nearly die after coming to the Myriad Graves Valley, and Ye Qingtian having to save her again.
Even someone as prideful as her could no longer maintain her pride. Feeling depressed, Bai Qingyu muttered, âYe Qingtian, you can leave. You don't have to care about me.â
âThe exit isnât far away. Iâm fine if you want to leave, but Iâm afraid itâll be dangerous if you leave now,â Lin Yun said.
Bai Qingyu gritted her teeth and said, âYe Qingtian, you actually hate me, right? You probably wished that I'd die here.â
Lin Yun didnât say a word, but flicked his finger, flicking a green droplet from his body, creating a hole in a tree far away. He said, âThis should be the origin essence of the Stalewater Sword. Because itâs not poisonous and is beneficial to cultivation, I didnât realize it initially. You probably placed it on me when we fought and relied on it to track me.â
âWhen did you notice it?â Bai Qingyu asked in disbelief with her mouth wide open.
âWhen I drew out the Stalewater Sword,â Lin Yun replied.
Bai Qingyu was inwardly shocked. She never expected Ye Qingtianâs thoughts to be meticulous and had suspected her from the beginning. She horrifyingly asked, âSo you pretended not to know and purposely lured me here?!â
âMore or less, yeah. Since youâre out, at least youâre safer with me. If I forced it out of my body, youâd only wander around aimlessly, and youâd probably die over a hundred times in the Myriad Graves Valley,â Lin Yun said.
âSoâ¦â Bai Qingyu said.
âSo you donât have to care what I think of you. Youâre Bai Shuyingâs younger sister, and I wonât let you die here,â Lin Yun interrupted.
Bai Qingyuâs face became pale, and she couldnât help trembling as she recalled everything that happened. It turned out that everything was within Ye Qingtianâs palms, and she was foolish not to discover it. When she looked at Ye Qingtian again, the pride and confidence engraved deep in his bones made her feel ashamed.
âWhatâs the matter? Your injuries have relapsed?â Lin Yun asked.
âNo.â Bai Qingyu guiltily shook her head and changed the topic, âYe Qingtian, did you take my elder sisterâsâ¦â
âNo.â Lin Yun refused before Bai Qingyu could even finish her sentence. He then shared what he knew about Bai Shuying with Bai Qingyu.
âWhoâs the person my sister has been waiting for?â Bai Qingyu asked.
âNo idea, but that person is definitely not me,â Lin Yun replied.
Hearing what Ye Qingtian said, Bai Qingyu heaved a sigh of relief and snorted, âI knew that my sister wouldnât take fancy to someone like you.â
âIndeed, but the person she fancied isn't good, either,â Lin Yun smiled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBullshit!â Bai Qingyu rebuked, âThe person my sister fancied must be a peerless hero. Most importantly, he must be graceful and have a backbone. Ever since she was young, my sister liked those with a backbone, rather snap than bend.
âThat person must be famous in the Kunlun Realm, or my sister wouldnât keep it a secret.â As Bai Qingyu spoke, she peeked at Ye Qingtian and continued, âMy brother-in-law must be stronger and more dashing than you.â
âSo?â Lin Yun asked.
Bai Qingyu snorted, âYouâre really boring. Donât you know how to hold a conversation? Do you know how many people want to flatter me? Youâre not gentle at all.â
As they interacted, Bai Qingyu noticed that Ye Qingtian wasnât that terrible and looked nothing like the rumors. When her depression disappeared, she looked like a cheerful beauty. If Bai Shuying was like a flawless jade, Bai Qingyu was the spring.
âBecause youâve never suffered before, you donât know how gentle the world is. Gentle doesnât mean being gentle with you. It can be a form of gentleness to live in the world,â Lin Yun replied.
âYe Qingtian, what have you experienced? Why do I feel like youâve gone through many life-and-death experiences? A genius swordsman like you should be vigorous. What are you hiding in your heart?â Bai Qingyu asked curiously.
âI have a sword hidden in my heart, and I have a lot of people to protect with my sword,â Lin Yun said.
âWhat does that mean?â
âLiterally.â
While Bai Qingyu was furious, her Stalewater Sword sensed something and began to vibrate. Her face changed as she tremblingly said, âYe Qingtian, the Stalewater Sword can sense murderous intent, and I have never seen it react so violently before.â
âYe Qinghong and the others. Theyâre here for me; you donât have to be afraid.â Lin Yun raised his head and could see several people coming over.
Not long later, Xiao Jingyan, Zhang Kui, and Ye Qinghong arrived. Ye Qinghong grinned, âAs expected of you, Ye Qingtian. You have no intention of leaving, despite knowing that weâre here.â
âYou think you people scare me? Youâre just a loser,â Lin Yun said indifferently.
Ye Qinghong laughed, âI like your confidence. Youâre so cocky just because you refined a saint origin. You might have become stronger, but youâre still as foolish as before. This isnât the Heavenly Dao Sect!â
âWhat are you guys trying to do? Weâre all saint disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and killing between disciples is forbidden!â Bai Qingyu said.
âJunior Sister Qingyu, this fellow tainted your sisterâs reputation, so weâre just upholding justice today,â Zhang Kui grinned.
âStop! Ye Qingtian was framed. You guys must get through me if you want to kill him!â Bai Qingyu stood before Lin Yun.
Xiao Jingyan, Zhang Kui, and Ye Qinghong exchanged gazes before they laughed. They found Bai Qingyu pitifully innocent. Xiao Jingyan smiled, âYou think weâll spare you? Both of you have to die today!â
When he said that, thirty-odd people appeared, surrounding Lin Yun and Bai Qingyu. They hovered in the air with their constellations behind them. They were all at the pinnacle of the Nirvana Stage.
Theyâre all loyal servants of the three clans, and each of them were much stronger than Third Master Lei. They werenât afraid of dying at all.
