Chapter 506 - Set Off, Nether Prefecture!
The Sovereign's Ascension
âLin Yun, what do you intend to do with these interspatial pouches?â smiled Liu Yunyan. The Bloodwing Pavilion and Threesolute Manor had suffered a great loss this time, plus they brought this upon themselves.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI only need the spiritual jades,â said Lin Yun as he turned around preparing to leave.
âWhere are you going?â Liu Yunyan and the other disciples quickly asked.
âIâll be back shortly,â smiled Lin Yun. After dealing with Pan Yue and Han Fei, there was still one more person waiting for him.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yun disappeared. Liu Yunyan fell silent as she could guess where Lin Yun was going. She couldnât help being surprised by how grudgeful Lin Yun was.
In the forest ten miles away, there was an array that was currently using a thousand third grade spiritual jades. At the core of the array were many bones that belonged to the Draconian Rockrats. At the center of the array, was a youth who was suddenly throwing up a mouthful of blood. His face had become so pale.
âLin Yun, Iâll kill you!â Behind the mask that he wore, his eyes radiated with killing aura. The Draconian Rockrat King was a greater Yin stage demonic beast that he barely managed to control using his heartâs blood as a cost. He initially wanted to control it to slaughter the Heavenly Province Academyâs party, but he never expected that it would be killed by Lin Yun with one attack.
He was truly shocked by Lin Yunâs strength. The Draconian Rockrat Kingâs death instantly caused a backlash for him. So, he quickly closed his eyes to recuperate from his injuries.
But shortly after, a wild gale blew and Leng Yi opened his eyes to see a youth standing not too far away from him. âLin Yun!â
His heart jolted wildly because he never expected that Lin Yun would find him so quickly. Couldnât Pan Yue and Han Fei even stop him briefly? What were those pieces of trash doing? If he knew this would have happened, he wouldâve left this place immediately when he suffered the backlash.
âYouâre actually still here? Great, thatâll save me time,â said Lin Yun calmly. It didnât matter if Leng Yi ran away because he was already a dead person the moment Lin Yun wanted to kill him. Compared to Pan Yue and Han Fei, Leng Yi had too many means and he couldnât be kept alive.
âWhat arrogance!â Leng Yi barked as the array beneath him suddenly released a ghastly howl. In the next second, the pile of skulls spit out a thick black mist that swept towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun merely raised his hand and threw a punch out. This punch was empowered by the Demon Vanquishing Seal, which released a radiating golden brilliance. With only one punch, the skulls crumbled and broke into pieces.
âLin Yun, weâll meet again. I swear that Iâll let you taste pain beyond death one dayâ¦â A weird laughter came from Leng Yi as his body turned into mist.
A cold light flashed in Lin Yunâs eyes and he raised the Flower Burial Sword in his hand. A silvery ray crackled and flew out, sending Leng Yi flying away. All the trees in the way of Lin Yunâs sword were curved in an exaggerated angle and they bounced back when Lin Yun sheathed his sword.
âYou want to kill me? Itâs a pity that you wonât have this chance!â Leng Yi had already left, but Lin Yun couldnât be bothered with him and instead turned all his attention to the third grade spiritual jades in the array.
Outside the Bloodbone Mountain Range, Pan Yue was waiting anxiously. In the end, Han Fei couldnât help but to ask, âLeng Yi is still not here? Heâs not dead, right?â
Pan Yueâs face was extremely ugly. Leng Yi hadnât arrived after so long, which could only mean one thing. Leng Yi was probably killed by Lin Yun. Aside from this, there were no other possibilities. Pan Yue gnashed his teeth, âLin Yun is really bold to kill the Nethercloud Ghostâs disciple. Is he really not afraid of death?â
Leng Yi was someone he invited over to help and the Nethercloud Ghost wouldnât let him off if anything happened to Leng Yi.
âBrother Pan, it doesnât really matter if Leng Yi is dead or not. With Nethercloud Ghostâs personality, he wonât let Lin Yun off either way,â sneered Han Fei. If he was Lin Yun, he also wouldnât let Leng Yi off.
âYouâre going to swallow this down after suffering such a huge loss?â Pan Yue raised his head.
âI now know why the Shattered Sword Pavilion wasnât willing to join us. Weâre disciples of quasi-overlord forces. How humiliating was it for us to work with a wandering cultivator? Not to mention that we even got robbed instead. But what can we do about it? Are we going to depend on our sects to help us?â replied Han Fei as he glanced at Pan Yue. He naturally couldnât get the sect to help him out in such a humiliating matter. It would be great if he wasnât punished.
âOn the other hand, think of how you should explain it to Nethercloud Ghost. That old geezer is insane when he becomes mad,â said Han Fei before he left with the Threesolute Manorâs disciples.
âDamn it!â Pan Yue was trembling in rage, but there was nothing he could do about it. He tried to rob the Heavenly Province Academy, but he got robbed instead. So what could he do about it? If he had another chance, he would definitely not choose to provoke Lin Yun again.
Waves swept through the Raging Dragon River, making it worthy of its name. Lin Yun stood on the deck and observed the river. It had been four days since they left the Bloodbone Mountain Range.
In the past four days, Lin Yun had been in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation by using the thousand third grade spiritual jades. After he stabilized his cultivation, the Iris Flower grew to seventy-three petals. In the end, his speculation was right because he needed to reach theViolet Palace Realm before he could resume his cultivation in the Iris Sword Sutra.
One thousand third grade spiritual jades for a petal was a headache to Lin Yun. Since the Iris Sword Sutra was an ancient cultivation technique, the resources he needed were naturally higher than other techniques.
âYouâre finally out? And here I thought you would be in seclusion until we reached Nether Prefecture,â smiled Liu Yunyan.
Lin Yun initially had those thoughts, but he had already consumed all his spiritual jades, so he had no other choice but to come out from seclusion. âMiss Liu, what other requirements does a guest deacon have aside from being recommended by a core disciple? I bet there is a test, right?â
He was looking forward to becoming a guest deacon because he hoped to bring his cultivation in spiritual runes to another level. Also, he needed the academyâs help to decipher the rose paintingâs secret.
âThereâs naturally a test if youâre not recommended by a core disciple. But the test is just a formality if you have a core discipleâs recommendation. But guest elders are divided into ranks. If you canât show your worth, you wonât get a good position,â replied Liu Yunyan. Through the Indigocloud Lakeâs experience, their relationship had improved. Lin Yunâs figure on the lake had also left a deep impression on Liu Yunyan.
âDisplay my worth?â Lin Yun fell into deep thought, but he wasnât surprised. After all, he naturally had to show his worth for the academy to place importance in him.
âWith your age and talent, youâre more than qualified to join the academy. But I guess that you wonât take that option,â smiled Liu Yunyan. If Lin Yun was willing, he could easily join the academy. But she had guessed that with his personality he didnât like restrictions. Plus, he wouldnât leave the Firmament Sword Pavilion before the Draconic Banquet.
But although being a guest deacon had freedom, they were on a lower level than the sectsâ disciples. So Lin Yun naturally had to display his worth. Take the Nethercloud Ghost, for example. He was initially a demonic cultivator, but the Bloodwing Pavilion invited him due to his worth.
âYou understand me pretty well,â smiled Lin Yun. No matter what, he wouldnât leave the Firmament Sword Pavilion before the Draconic Banquet.
