Chapter 1948 - Who Do You Think You Are?
The Sovereign's Ascension
âItâs fine. Iâll come with you.â Bai Shuying followed up.
âLetâs go together, then,â Lin Yun smiled. He didnât refuse Bai Shuyingâs goodwill.
âWhere is he?â
âHeâs at the foot of the mountain. The peak master was holding them back and asked me to inform you. If you donât want to meet them, I can bring you away and head to the Dragon Origin Great Saintâs residence,â Chen Feng said.
âI did nothing wrong, so why should I fear them? Theyâre the ones owing me, instead. So, letâs go,â Lin Yun smiled.
Bai Shuying didnât say anything from the side. The Heavenly Dao Sect was heavily infested with four clans, and each clan had a powerful force within the sect. They have thoroughly infiltrated the Heavenly Dao Sect over the past few thousand years and have their own interests. The Heavenly Dao Sect didnât have a sect master, and the sword-wielders didnât care about these matters.
That was the same case for the Bai Clan. As for Ye Qingtian, she long heard that he didnât have a good treatment within the Ye Clan, and his fellow clansmen wouldnât give him any face within the sect.
It didnât take long for them to reach the foot of the mountain. When they arrived, they saw Ye Feifan facing the peak master. Behind Ye Feifan were two Quasi-Saints and a Saint Elder, and they were his confidence. Even the Indigo Thunder Peak Master could only stop them for the moment, but not for much longer.
âPeak Master,â Lin Yun greeted.
The Indigo Thunder Peak Master was stunned, and Ye Feifan smiled, âYe Qingtian, youâre finally out!â
âGreetings, Elder.â Lin Yun didnât know these three people, so he casually gave a bow.
But this made the Saint Elder unhappily furrow his brow, and he questioned, âYe Qingtian, it looks like youâre becoming increasingly cocky, since youâre not going down on your knees when seeing an elder of the same clan.â
âSpeak if you have anything to say. Iâm busy,â Lin Yun replied.
âYe Qingtian, the ancestor wants to see you!â Ye Feifan roared.
âOh,â Lin Yun casually replied. He naturally knew about this ancestor, the Tough Peak Saint Sovereign. He had the highest seniority of the Ye Clan within the Heavenly Dao Sect, so he was equivalent to half an ancestor of the Ye Clan.
But Lin Yun always felt that such an old monster was beyond his reach. So he naturally didnât treat it seriously. But when he noticed Ye Feifanâs gaze, he naturally sensed that something was wrong and his identity was suspected.
His attitude also made the faces of the two Quasi-Saints and the Saint Elder change with their brows furrowed.
Ye Feifan roared, âYe Qingtian, how dare you! The ancestor wants to meet you, and this is your attitude? Itâs fine that you didnât visit the ancestor after becoming the champion of the Di Group. But how dare you not have any respect when the ancestor is inviting you over!â
Hearing what Ye Feifan said, Lin Yun merely smiled, âWhy do I have to be respectful to him? I have no intention of seeing him, to begin with. So go and tell him that Iâm not free.â
The moment he said that, the faces of Ye Feifan and the others changed, including the Indigo Thunder Peakâs disciples.
âDo you think you have a choice?â Ye Feifan snorted and immediately made his move, unleashing his aura. He naturally couldnât accept his previous loss to Ye Qingtian and couldnât figure out how he lost to him with his cultivation at the fourth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
Thus, he bitterly cultivated when he got back. His nirvana aura had transformed, and he drastically improved his strength, despite no changes in his cultivation. He was confident that he could deal with Ye Qingtian as long as the latter didnât draw his sword.
As for Ye Qingtian drawing his sword? He didnât think Ye Qingtian had that opportunity with the two Quasi-Saints and a Saint Elder behind him. They already came to an agreement that the Quasi-Saints would make a move the moment Ye Qingtian drew his sword.
At that time, the Indigo Thunder Peak Master couldnât interfere because this was a private matter of their Ye Clan. If they brought Ye Qingtian to the ancestor, Ye Qingtianâs true identity would be revealed, even if his method was profound. At that time, no one could save him, even if he was the direct disciple of a Great Saint because Lin Yun would be dead for daring to disguise himself as a Ye Clanâs descendant.
He dashed over and pushed out three palms, each containing a huge force, and left behind a crater in the air. Cracks also began to appear on the ground, and Lin Yun secretly retreated, allowing Ye Feifan to get close to him.
âYe Qingtian, whereâs the grace of your sword from back then?â Ye Feifan wanted to force Lin Yun into drawing his sword and laughed. But he was shocked when he noticed that Ye Qingtian didnât move and pushed his palm forth.
Lin Yun didnât draw his sword nor release his sword intent. He merely pushed out his palm, relying on his cultivation. When the two palms collided, Ye Feifan threw out a mouthful of blood, his face drastically changing.
Ye Feifan was shocked to discover that Ye Qingitanâs cultivation had reached the seventh channel of the Profound Death Stage in just half a month!
âSeventh channel of the Profound Death Stage!â
âHoly shit, it has only been half a month!â The nearby Indigo Thunder Peakâs disciples were surprised. In the Ranking Battle, Ye Qingtianâs cultivation was only at the fifth channel of the Profound Death Stage, and yet he made two breakthroughs in half a month.
But what shocked them even more, was that Ye Qingtian relied on his cultivation to fend off Ye Feifan, whose cultivation was at the fourth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
One must know that Ye Qingtian didnât clash with those at the fourth channel of the Nirvana Stage head-on back at the Ranking Battle. Ye Qingtian relied on his Heavenly Dome Sword Intent and sword technique throughout the fight to defeat his opponents.
He first used his Divine Firefly Sword before using the Sword of the Beginning, relying on his sword to sweep through the Di Group.
When Lin Yun pushed his palm forth, Ye Feifan threw out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying away before a Quasi-Saint caught him from behind. He said, âI already gave you an opportunity, but youâre just a piece of garbage.â
âYouâre not Ye Qingtian! Who the hell are you?!â Ye Feifan roared.
But Lin Yun merely sneered after hearing what he said and turned to the Quasi-Saints and Saint Elder, âIs that what the three of you think?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEverything will be clear after you meet the ancestor.â A Quasi-Saint of the Ye Clan stepped forth, wanting to grab Lin Yun.
But before he could get close, he was stopped by a white-clothed figure. Bai Shuying appeared before Ye Qingtian, and this scene shocked everyone.
As a gold and silver radiance shone from Bai Shuying, her pupils began to shine as she faced the Quasi-Saint head-on with her cultivation at the ninth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
This made the face of the Ye Clanâs Quasi-Saint change, and he quickly retreated. He then turned to look at Saint Elder and asked, âAzure Solar Saint Lord?â
The Indigo Thunder Peak Master also became nervous. After all, no one could stop this group of people, no matter who came.
If that ancestor of the Ye Clan was determined to capture Ye Qingtian, even the Dragon Origin Great Saint couldnât do anything about it. After all, the Ye Clan was colossal within the Heavenly Dao Sect. They might have no Great Saint on the surface, but it was unclear if they had any in the dark.
âThe Bai Clan wants to interfere in my Ye Clanâs matters?â The Ye Clanâs Saint Elder asked.
âI dare not, but he already promised to come to the Nether Orchid Courtyard seven days from now. If heâs injured or doesnât turn up, my master will be upset,â Bai Shuying said.
The Azure Solar Saint Lord sneered, âEven the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint canât say anything about this matter. Ye Qingtian, you have to come with us no matter what, and I donât want to involve anyone else in this matter.â
Lin Yun inwardly sighed and said, âHoly Maiden, let me handle this since this is a matter of my Ye Clan.â
He stepped forth and pushed Bai Shuying aside. But he stopped his footsteps and had no intention of leaving with that Saint Elder.
This naturally made the Saint Elder furrow his brow and coldly ask, âYe Qingtian, how dare you resist before a saint? Are you courting death?!â
âSaint Elder, please calm downâ¦â The Indigo Thunder Peak Master said.
âIt has nothing to do with you,â the Azure Solar Saint Lord said. He might have his concern with Bai Shuying, but he had none with the Indigo Thunder Peak Master. So he didnât hesitate to push his palm over.
This naturally made the Indigo Thunder Peak Master throw a mouthful of blood. When he slammed against the gate, he broke a few of his bones.
âPeak Master!â The Indigo Thunder Peakâs disciples quickly ran over.
Lin Yun was faster than everyone else and helped the peak master up. He looked at the Azure Solar Saint Lord and roared, âOld dog, donât you know shame to make a move against a Quasi-Saint as a Saint Lord?!â
His words surprised Bai Shuying because she didnât expect Ye Qingtian to be so bold.
âEveryone beneath the Saint Realm is mere ants. Ask him if he has any complaints about me injuring him,â the Azure Solar Saint Lord snickered.
The Indigo Thunder Peak Master quickly nodded and replied, âI naturally dare not to have any complaints.â
âPeak Master!â Lin Yun couldnât hold back, but the Indigo Thunder Peak Master firmly held onto him, not wanting him to do anything foolish.
âHahaha!â The Azure Solar Saint Lord laughed, âIt looks like my Ye Clan really produced a genius to be so cocky before a Saint. I believe the ancestor will be happy when he sees you.â
The Azure Lord Saint Lord waved his hand. Aside from Bai Shuying, everyone standing before him was sent flying away and fell to the ground. The Azure Lord Saint Lord didnât want to waste time with Ye Qingtian, and roared, âCome with me!â
But Lin Yun suddenly disappeared, and a massive power bounced him away. This changed the Azure Solar Saint Lordâs face because he failed to bring Ye Qingtian away. âMhm?â
âLilâ Qingyang, I canât allow you to harm him.â A peal of laughter resounded, making the Azure Solar Saint Lordâs face change when he raised his head. But he was sent flying away before he could respond when a slap landed on him.
The Azure Solar Saint Lord fell onto the ground, and he didnât dare to get back up as he looked at the newcomer in horror.
âEveryone beneath the Saint Realm are mere ants? Donât you know that a Saint Lord is nothing before me?â That person placed Ye Qingtian on the ground before giving the Azure Solar Saint Lord another slap, sending him flying away.
âWe pay our greetings to the Azure River Saint Sovereign!â The two Quasi-Saints and Ye Feifan quickly went down on their knees.
Bai Shuying also squinted her pupils when she saw Ye Guhan, who stood beside Ye Qingtian. Ye Guhan was the chief disciple of the Radiant Sword Saint, and even the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint was filled with praises for this person.
