Chapter 1881 - True Man Never Turns Back
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yunâs words made the faces of the Nether Orchid Courtyardâs disciples ugly because he was simply too arrogant. He was also shameless because anyone could tell that Bai Shuying didnât use her full strength earlier. After all, she was at the Nirvana Stage, and there was no way Ye Qingtian could withstand it if she used her full strength.
But Ye Qingtian made it sound like he could take two attacks from Bai Shuying, not to mention that he even dared to provoke her even more.
Despite seeing that Lin Yun had gotten a lot stronger compared to a year ago, this didnât mean that he had the qualification to speak those words to Bai Shuying. Not only him, but many of the Nirvana Stage saint disciples could only look up to Bai Shuying.
âSenior Sister, donât go easy on him and teach him a lesson!â
âThis lecher is too much!â
âBased on what he did a year ago, no one will say a thing if Senior Sister cripples him now.â The Nether Orchid Courtyardâs disciples spoke out.
âYe Qingtian is a scumbag, to begin with. Thereâs no need to go easy on him.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYeah. Thereâs no need to go easy on someone like him.â
âSo what if he has gotten much stronger than a year ago? Heâs still the same person he was before. Heâs the shame of the Heavenly Dao Sect!â The other peaksâ disciples echoed along, and Ye Qingtian instantly became the public enemy. Half of the people looked at him with disgust, and the other half were jealous of him.
Many people panicked due to Lin Yunâs performance because no one could accept that Ye Qingtian had risen in position.
Empress, are you done? Lin Yun pursued as he began to panic.
âA little more time.â Lilâ Purple replied, and her reply made Lin Yun speechless.
Bai Shuying coldly looked at Lin Yun, âYe Qingtian, youâre saying Iâm not upright in launching a sneak attack against you?â
âSenior Sister, youâve misunderstood me. Iâm just praising your beauty, and thereâs no one like you amongst all the women Iâve metâ¦â Lin Yun smiled.
âShut it!â Bai Shuyingâs face became cold, as if Lin Yun had crossed her bottom line, and her suppressed killing intent swept out. With a wave of her hand, nine swords of the Nether Orchid Courtyardâs disciples flew towards Lin Yun.
When the nine swords flew over, they didnât display any phenomena this time and only flew towards Lin Yun, containing powerful sword intent and dragon origin. Bai Shuying had used her sword intent, and it had reached the level of Quasi-Heavenly Dome Sword Intent.
Anyone could tell that Bai Shuying was no longer holding back under her rage, and the nirvana aura in her attack had far surpassed the first channel of the Nirvana Stage. Facing this attack, not many people present were confident of fending it off.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and used his Sword Heart to observe the surroundings. When he closed his eyes, he could clearly see the trajectory of the nine swords, and the flaws were fewer than Lin Yun had expected. There might be many flaws on the surface, but some were traps, mixing the real and fake.
Lin Yun took a deep breath because he realized he had underestimated Bai Shuying. The latter might seem furious, but she launched her attacks meticulously. She had already discovered that he was proficient in finding the flaws in the sword techniques of others and thus set up this trap for him.
Although Lin Yun could quickly resolve this attack if he brought out the Heavenly Dome Sword Intent, her actions piqued his competitive spirit. Since Bai Shuying liked to put up a strong front and suppress him, he would go against her thoughts, then. He opened his eyes with a smile because he finally found the flaw and allowed the nine swords to get close to him.
Just when everyone thought Lin Yun would turn into a porcupine, Lin Yun suddenly grabbed onto one sword, ignoring the other eight.
âSenior Brother!â The Indigo Thunder Peakâs disciples exclaimed with their faces changed when they saw this scene.
But what happened next was bizarre because the eight swords brushed past him, with two brushing past his face. This scene naturally shocked everyone because he was too bold.
In this attack, only one was real, and the other eight were fake. The sword Lin Yun grabbed was the actual attack directed at him. But if he moved, the other eight swords would become actual attacks directed at him. So Bai Shuyingâs attack tested not only his eyesight but also his courage.
âH-How is this possible?!â Bai Shuyingâs face finally changed, and she couldnât help asking, âHow did you manage to tell?â
Clasping his hands behind his back, Lin Yun smiled at Bai Shuying, âThis further proves that our hearts are connected.â
âHey, scumbag. Stop flirting with her. We can go now. The Solar Lunar Divine Rune is truly here, so we can come back another time to determine the actual locationâ¦â Lilâ Purpleâs voice resounded within Lin Yunâs mind.
Right then, the âbroken swordâ physique was activated, and the saint sword trapped in Lin Yunâs two fingers snapped. This instantly made everyone take in a cold breath because they had never seen anything like this. They didnât see Lin Yun do anything, and yet the sword suddenly snapped into pieces.
Shaking his head, Lin Yun sighed before he smiled, âThree moves are over. I should stay behind, but itâs a pity everyoneâs prejudice against me is too great. So I might as well leave this Sword Discussion Gathering.â
Bai Shuying was stumped when she heard that because she had no idea what Lin Yun was trying to do. After all, Lin Yun wanted to stay behind just a moment ago and suddenly wanted to leave after three moves. This made her even more confused about Lin Yunâs objective.
âYe Qingtianâ¦â Bai Shuying couldnât help calling out.
But Lin Yun simply ignored her and walked out of the Nether Orchid Courtyard with a jar of wine.
âHahaha! People laugh at me for being insane, and I laugh at them for being unable to see through me!â Lin Yun laughed as he drank his wine and left. He knew he couldnât turn back now and quickly left under everyoneâs gazes. His pace was initially slow, but he sped up five steps later and quickly became blurred.
âIs this still the same senior brother we know? Isnât he too dashing?!â
âQuick, follow him!â The Indigo Thunder Peakâs disciples came to their senses and quickly followed behind Lin Yun.
When Lin Yun left the Nether Orchid Courtyard, he heaved a breath of relief because he had accomplished his objective. He inwardly asked, âIs the Solar Lunar Divine Rune here?â
âIâm highly confident about it but canât verify the location. Hehe, it looks like we made the right decision in coming to the Heavenly Dao Sect.â Lilâ Purple said in an excited tone within the Iris Secret Realm.
âThatâs good. I nearly couldnât keep on acting anymore.â
âHmph, you seem to be enjoying it in my eyes. After all, the Nether Orchid Holy Maiden even called out your name at the end of it.â
âCut it out. Who knows what Ye Qingtian did in the past? Bai Shuying nearly lost it, wanting to slaughter me for real. As long as I dare to retaliate, everyone in the surroundings will flock over, and Iâll die unjustly then.â Lin Yun was putting on a façade earlier. Even if he had no idea behind the story about Ye Qingtian, he could tell that Bai Shuyingâs killing intent wasnât fake.
âHehe. Everyone else is shocked, but no one noticed anything unusual about you. I think thatâs because you and Ye Qingtian are the same kind of people; both of you are scumbags.â
âShut it,â Lin Yun said with his face turning dark. How could he possibly be the same kind of person as Ye Qingtian?
âSenior Brother, slow down. I canât catch up with you!â Chen Feng gasped for breath as he ran over. When he looked at Lin Yun, his pupils shone brightly with respect.
âSenior Brother!â The other Indigo Thunder Peakâs disciples swiftly caught up and looked at Lin Yun with reverence. After what happened today, they had come to look at Ye Qingtian in a new light.
A smile returned to Lin Yunâs face, and he looked at the Indigo Thunder Peakâs disciples with a playful gaze. When he wanted to mimic Ye Qingtianâs tone and mock these people a little, sounds began to echo above the Nether Orchid Courtyard.
When Lin Yun turned his head over, he saw a group of women. Their hair was tied into buns, donning waist dresses, and ribbons covering their top. Furthermore, they all wore a smile as they played different instruments while flying in the sky.
