Chapter 142 - Burial Ground

Looking at Lin Yun’s harvest from his extortion, many people felt envious.

“Are you satisfied?” The Blood Cloud Sect’s elders gnashed his teeth and looked at Lin Yun, squeezing a smile out. His acting was brilliant, and it was at a level that Lin Yun would never reach. He clearly wanted to slaughter and drink Lin Yun’s blood, but he managed to squeeze out a fawning smile.

“Please be reassured. I’m someone who keeps up to my promise. I won’t touch anyone as long as they’re not blind like your sects. But if they keep appearing before me, then I can’t guarantee that…” Lin Yun smiled.

Lin Yun was ruthless. He indirectly called two sects to get lost from his sight, even after extorting such a huge sum from them. If he wanted to make a move, he would do so without any leniency.

“You…” The Golden Flame Sect’s elder pointed at Lin Yun in anger. But when he recalled what Lin Yun just did a moment ago, he swallowed his words back down.

“Let’s go!”

The two sects left not long after. All of them had their heads lowered, and they did not dare to look at the surrounding spectators.

No one had imagined that the two overbearing sects would have a day where they clamp their tails between their legs. But when everyone saw Lin Yun’s gaze directed over, all of them felt a chill down their spine.

The youth, before them, looked like a demon in their eyes. He was an existence that even the two regional overlord forces would bow their heads to.

“I’m afraid that many of you must’ve been frightened.” Lin Yun swept his glance around, and anyone who met with his gaze would run away immediately.

Can it be that they have treasures on them? Such a weird thought rose in Lin Yun’s mind. When he thought about it, there was a possibility since they were in the Azure Sun Realm. Even an ordinary looking person might have treasures on them.

Wait, what was he thinking? Did he really consider himself to be a bandit?

Su Tao shook his head to clear his mind.

With nearly 20,000 Xiantian pellets, it should be sufficient for me to bring the Iris Sword Sutra to the third stage, right? Lin Yun pondered inwardly, but he wasn’t confident for sure. The Iris Sword Sutra was like a bottomless bit for Xiantian pellets, and he felt the pressure for the first six stages alone.

“Brother Lin!” A group of Xiantian Realm cultivators came over suddenly.

When Lin Yun raised his head, he saw the Radiant Pavilion’s young sect master greeting him, Ming Hua.

“Brother Lin is truly formidable. I came immediately upon hearing that the two sects were blocking your exit. I intend to make you owe me one, but I never expect that you managed to resolve it yourself. Furthermore, you even extorted 20,000 Xiantian pellets worth of treasures from them!” Ming Hua smiled, not concealing the shock in his eyes at all.

The grey-clothed elder beside Ming Hua was also looking at Lin Yun.

“Thank you for your concern.” Lin Yun cupped his hands together. Regardless of Ming Hua’s motive, his action had left Lin Yun touched. After all, he would really require Ming Hua’s help if he didn’t have the token.

“Haha! You should’ve seen Mei Zihua and Xue Tu’s expression. It looked like they’ve eaten something foul. Hahaha! I’ve been dealing with them for years, and I’ve never seen them looking like that!” Ming Hua smiled.

With an embarrassed smile, Lin Yun did not go along with Ming Hua’s words.

“But what do you intend to do when we’re out?” Ming Hua knew that the two sects would definitely not let this matter rest so easily after suffering such a huge loss.

“I naturally have a way to handle it since I dare to offend them.” Lin Yun replied.

If it was the past, Lin Yun might still feel somewhat anxious. But after witnessing how powerful the Iris Sword Saint’s intent was, Lin Yun no longer feared.

Although he might not be able to eradicate the two sects, running for his life wouldn’t be a problem.

“This token contains the intent of a senior when he was alive. By activating it, I can possess strength comparable to the Profound Martial Realm!”

Lin Yun did not hide and showed the token to Ming Hua. Then again, he did not reveal that he could only use this token three times.

“Cosmic Treasure!” Ming Hua and the grey-clothed elder was stunned.

“All of you back down!” Ming Hua waved his hand to get the other Xiantian Realm cultivators of the Radiant Pavilion to leave them alone.

“Brother Lin, do you still remember what I told you before?” Ming Hua looked at Lin Yun.

Looking at Ming Hua, Lin Yun replied, “I do.”

Ming Hua hesitated briefly before he explained, “I actually don’t hold any hopes in it. After all, three of the four sects and four clans came, along with experts from other empires sneaking in. But since you have a Cosmic Treasure, then there might be hope after all.”

“The intent of someone from the golden era was invincible among those in the same cultivation. It wouldn’t be any weaker compared to the Quasi-Profound Martial Realm cultivators from the Sword Firmament Pavilion and Demonic Moon Villa!” The grey-clothed man spoke out. He had a deep understanding of these matters.

“Going death practically spells certain death. But with Brother Lin’s harvest, I’m afraid it wouldn’t matter to you even if you skip it…” Ming Hua could tell that Lin Yun must have encountered a great opportunity that made him so strong.

Furthermore, Lin Yun even had a Cosmic Treasure. So there was no need for him to risk his life. Ming Hua and the grey-clothed elder looked at Lin Yun nervously, and they’ve already made themselves apparent.

If Lin Yun weren’t willing, then they wouldn’t have much odds with their trump cards. So they practically had to rely on Lin Yun!

Lin Yun only took a brief second, considering before a cold ray flickered in his eyes, “Is the Wang Family going there as well?”

“That’s for sure!” Ming Hua was surprised by Lin Yun’s question, but he still replied frankly.

“Then, Wang Ning should be there, right?”

Ming Hua was briefly stunned before he nodded his head, “That’s for sure, but I don’t know much about him. At the very least, I don’t know him as well as Si Xueyi and Bai Lixuan.”

It made sense for Ming Hua to know nothing much about Wang Ning. After all, Wang Ning had only returned home half a year ago…

“I have an old grudge with him, and there will be trouble if we meet. If this puts the two of you in a difficult position, then I’m afraid that we will not be able to get our deal done.”

Listening to Lin Yun’s words, Ming Hua was shocked.

The Wang Clan was one of the four clans in the Great Qin Empire with a long heritage. Their foundation ran deep in the empire, and they were practically untouchable. They weren’t the likes that the Azure Sun County’s three overlord forces could be compared to.

But Lin Yun actually had a grudge with the Wang Family. This fact made Ming Hua ponder about Lin Yun’s origin.

“What kind of grudge are you talking about…” Ming Hua asked. He was still hopeful about this matter.

“I will kill him if there’s an opportunity.” Lin Yun replied with killing intent flickering through his eyes, leaving Ming Hua and the grey-clothed elder shocked. Even when Lin Yun was facing the Blood Cloud Sect and Golden Flame Sect, the killing intent within his eyes wasn’t so terrifying.

“Let me think about it…” Ming Hua and the grey-clothed old man immediately felt a headache.

They were initially afraid that Lin Yun wouldn’t agree to come along with them. But judging from the situation right now, it wouldn’t be an easy decision to make even if Lin Yun had agreed.

If they offended the Wang Family, the entire Radiant Pavilion would definitely face annihilation. But that didn’t mean that nothing could be done about it. The Azure Sun County was located in a remote area, and the four sects and four clans did not have much influence here.

So even if the Wang Famil wanted to eradicate the Radiant Pavilion, it wouldn’t be easy. Most importantly, it was nothing compared to the benefits that they could obtain.

As long as they did not clash with the Wang Family to protect Lin Yun, the Wang Family wouldn’t care about the Radiant Pavilion.

In an instant, Ming Hua had already made his decision and spoke out, “This transaction can still go on, but if Sir Lin is involved in a conflict with the Wang Family, I’m afraid that the Radiant Pavilion won’t be able to protect you… I believe I don’t need to explain the reason why.

“But, I can guarantee that the Radiant Pavilion won’t backstab you for the Wang Family.”

“Then, that’s a deal.” Ling Yun smiled. Since Ming Hua was fine with it, then Lin Yun did not have any objections. He wasn’t too bothered by Ming Hua’s words, as it all made sense. It was unrealistic for Lin Yun to want the Radiant Pavilion to protect him.

“Young Master Ming, can you tell me about the place now?” Lin Yun was curious about what sort of place it was that even attracted Bai Lixuan and Si Xueyi.
