Chapter 2363 - Sword Dao Holy Land
The Sovereign's Ascension
Shangguan Jue looked at Lin Yun with lingering fear in his eyes. He could be considered calm, but it was different for Zhao Zhanli.
âChief, itâs him! He snatched our Flame Origin Pellets, and he took Senior Brother Shangguanâs eighteen Divine Dragon Destiny Pellets!â Zhao Zhanli was furious and emotional. He furiously continued, âSince when has the Shadow Divine Palace suffered such a loss?!â
âI know youâre anxious, but calm down and let Shangguan finish,â Heavenly Book smiled, looking at Zhao Zhanli. It was true that Zhao Zhanli was anxious, but he could only keep his mouth shut.
On the other hand, Shangguan Jue was calm, and continued, âHe found ten thousand phenomena in the Blue Dragon Divine Cauldron, but he mustâve used a trick to do so. So it doesnât mean his comprehension was much higher than ours.â
Heavenly Book nodded, and said, âEven so, we canât underestimate this person. Letâs go and greet this prodigy.â
He wore a smile with a fan in his hand as he walked over to Lin Yun. This made everyone else from the Shadow Divine Palace briefly stunned, but they still quickly followed after Heavenly Book.
âTheyâre going just like that?â
âThe Shadow Divine Palace suffered a loss in Lin Yunâs hands. So, Heavenly Book wonât start a fight, right?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHard to say. The Heavenâs Gate wonât interfere as well if they fight before the test starts.â
âIt looks like they want to snatch their Flame Origin Pellets back. I wonder how Flower Burial will handle this!â Everyoneâs attention shifted to Heavenly Book.
âWhat is that fellow trying to do?â Xiong Tiannan frowned. He had interacted with Heavenly Book before, or rather, he received a one-sided beating before. Furthermore, Heavenly Book didnât use his full strength back then and only played with him, so this person became Xiong Tiannanâs nightmare. Hence, Xiong Tiannan would become nervous whenever he saw Heavenly Book.
On the other hand, Lin Yun was calm and composed as the Shadow Divine Palace approached them without restraining their aura. The faces of Ji Zixi and Lin Jiangxian became grave and went on alert.
However, Heavenly Book didnât act as everyone had expected but was elegant instead. He was blatant, and said, âYou must be Flower Burial Lin Yun. Are there any Flame Origin Pellets and Divine Dragon Destiny Pellets left? Itâs not easy for my junior brothers, and I wonder if you can give me some face...â
âNope,â Lin Yun replied, leaving Shangguan Jue and Zhao Zhanli stumped. Not only them but everyone else in the surrounding area was also dumbfounded. After all, Heavenly Book was pretty polite and wasnât aloof.
Lin Yun continued, âTheyâre mine, and thereâs no reason for me to return them. If you want them... use other treasures to exchange for them. Furthermore, Shangguan Jue is the one who found me to bet, and he admitted his defeat. So why poking your nose in this matter?â
Heavenly Book wasnât furious after hearing what Lin Yun said, but smiled, âThis is why I asked if you could give me some face and return the remaining pellets. We can still be friends if you do.â
âI already said no.â Lin Yun looked at Heavenly Book, and continued, âYou have to understand this. Regardless of the Flame Origin Pellets or the Divine Dragon Destiny Pellets, they belong to me and have nothing to do with your Shadow Divine Palace. Understood?â
If he had to give everyone face here, it would be no different from being openly snatched from. Who knows if a Divine Clanâs prince might come forth the next moment and ask him to give him some face?
âYouâre really as arrogant as rumored.â Heavenly Book dropped his smile, and coldly said, âI heard that you didnât even place the Divine Clans in your eyes and dug out seven of their disciplesâ saint origins. I didnât expect that you didnât even place the Shadow Divine Palace in your eyes as well.â
Mockery flashed through Lin Yunâs eyes, and Ji Zixi was furious. She questioned, âWhat are you trying to express? Donât make it sound like Big Brother Lin is the villain here. Or do you want to take revenge for the Divine Clans? The Divine Clans started it first, repeatedly provoking Big Brother Lin.
âFurthermore, they were the ones who wanted to dig Big Brother Linâs saint origin first. As for your Shadow Divine Palace? Whatâs the matter? You guys canât afford to take a loss?â
Ji Zixi was furious because he knew that her Big Brother Lin didnât like to talk about that, and he was always looking like a villain to others.
Heavenly Book was briefly stunned. He was amazed by Ji Zixiâs beauty at first glance, before he smiled, âWhat a sharp-tongued lady. Lin Yun, you donât think that too, right?â
âOf course not,â Lin Yun smiled. âThereâs something I disagree with, so let me correct it. I didnât place the Shadow Divine Palace in my eyes, and youâre right.â
His words caused an uproar because no one expected that there would be such dense gunpowder between them, and Heavenly Book also didnât expect Lin Yun to have such a strong stance.
Heavenly Book initially wanted to show his âgoodwill,â hoping Lin Yun could give him some face or at least another bet.
âChief, thereâs no need to waste time speaking with him, just teach him a lesson!â Zhao Zhanli was furious.
âHeâs not wrong, and you can make your move. But... itâs uncertain who will be taught a lesson.â Lin Yun fearlessly raised his brow.
Heavenly Bookâs face changed when he looked at Lin Yunâs eyes, which felt like he was looking at a bright sun. If someone else looked into Lin Yunâs eyes, they would be incinerated.
But Lin Yun still wore a smile with his sword intent in his eyes. When he released his Quasi-Bright Sun Sword Intent, he gave off an aura that was no weaker than Heavenly Book.
Heavenly Book was shocked because he felt a stinging pain in his eyes from Lin Yunâs sword intent. If Lin Yunâs sword intent was only at Quasi-Bright Sun Sword Intent, it made no sense for it to be so strong.
When they looked at each other, a booming sound echoed in their minds as if they had just crossed hands earlier.
In the end, Heavenly Book didnât choose to make a move, but smiled, âItâs fine for youngsters to be arrogant, but there wonât be any good outcome if youâre too arrogant.â
He left when he was done speaking and didnât allow Lin Yun to reply. But when he turned around, the smile disappeared, replaced with a chill.
After Heavenly Book left, Ao Jue couldnât help smiling, âThis is the first time I saw such an ugly expression on his face.â
âThatâs Heavenly Book weâre talking about. Will we be fine? Iâm a little afraid,â Xiong Tiannan said nervously.
âThat person is strong?â Ji Zixi asked.
Ao Jue nodded, âUnbelievably strong. He grasped the Great Solar Dao and formed the Great Solar Domain with the Great Solar True Flame. His attainment in Great Solar Dao is even more unfathomable than Lin Yunâs Sword Dao.â
Ji Zixi was shocked, before she said, âItâs no wonder why I felt pressure from him with my Phoenix Sacred Flame being suppressed.â
Lin Jiangxian said with a grave expression, âWhat Ao Jue said isnât wrong; heâs proficient in the Great Solar Dao.â
âI was taught a lesson by him in an ancient tomb back then, and his Great Solar True Flame is terrifying. Even the Shadow Divine Palaceâs Divine Son might not be any stronger than him,â Xiong Tiannan said with lingering fear.
âSounds powerful,â Lin Yun smiled, but he didnât look afraid.
Xiong Tiannan couldnât help asking, âIs there a need for you to take it so far? Heâs probably here to probe with no hostility.â
Lin Yun turned to look at Xiong Tiannan when he heard that, and Xiong Tiannanâs heart throbbed. He asked, âDid I speak wrongly?â
âIs there a possibility that Iâm not the one offending him but the other way around?â Lin Yun smiled.
âThis...â Xiong Tiannan was dumbfounded since he never thought of that before.
âIâm just joking. I have a good temper, and I wonât do anything to him, even if he offends me. Hahaha!â Lin Yun laughed.
Xiong Tiannan awkwardly smiled, but he naturally wouldnât believe what Lin Yun said. The seven from the Divine Clans proved what would happen when someone offended Lin Yun. When he looked at Ao Jue, he instantly understood what Ao Jue was trying to say; the latter shared the same thoughts as him.
Suddenly, Lin Yunâs sword sea trembled as his sword stars uncontrollably released their sword intent. He instantly sensed that a powerful swordsman was around, and it was rare for him to encounter another swordsman that made even his sword intent afraid.
âThose from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion are here!â Lin Jiangxian whispered in Lin Yunâs ears. She was naturally referring to those from the headquarters, and the headquarters was filled with geniuses and even had several deities around.
Not only did Lin Yunâs group feel it, but all the swordsmen felt it as well. No swordsman wouldnât know about the Sword Dao Holy Land, Heavenly Sword Pavilion.
