Chapter 294 - Refining

Name:The Sovereign's Ascension Author:
As for Lin Yun, he naturally had no reason to stay since he already obtained the Imperial Sword Herb.

“Disciples of the Fire Alliance listen up! Stop Zhong Yunxiao! Don’t let him leave!” Just when everyone felt that no one dared to move, a bark echoed in the forest. It came from Xiao Feng.

After being injured by Lin Yun, Xiao Feng was naturally unwilling to see Lin Yun leave with the Imperial Sword Herb. So he tries to rile everyone up to attack Lin Yun. His roar did make everyone riled up as everyone looked at Lin Yun with greed in their eyes.

Gu Yunfei, Han Feng, and everyone else was shocked as they looked at Xiao Feng. They wondered if he was insane. They didn’t dare to move despite having their own thoughts because they would lose their chance to obtain the Imperial Sword Herb if they got everyone to siege Lin Yun.

“Damn it. It’s him again!” Lin Yan gnashed her teeth with loath for Xiao Feng. Lin Yun had spared him, but he was still trying to cause trouble.

On the other hand, Lin Yun smiled beneath the mask. Things were becoming interesting. He executed the Seven Profound Steps, Golden Crow Wings. Infusing his origin energy into the Golden Crow Seal behind him, Lin Yun spread his arms apart and soared into the sky. Under countless shocked gazes, Lin Yun charged over to Xiao Feng and threw out a punch with the dracophant energy.

“No!” Xiao Feng’s face was drained. There was no way he could take this fist at all.

Lin Yun’s punch soared like a sword that broke through the air resistance and slammed onto Xiao Feng’s chest, creating a huge hole and claiming his life.

“This…”

“Xiao Feng died just like that?”

“That’s the Seven Profound Steps! He actually formed the Golden Crow Seal!”

Gu Yunfei and the others who had their own thoughts were trembling with fear. They didn’t dare to look at Lin Yun with fear spreading in their hearts. They no longer had any thoughts for the Imperial Sword Herb.

At the same time, the disciples on the island were all trembling with fear. Everything happened too quickly, and Xiao Feng was dead in the blink of an eye. This outcome had caught everyone by surprise. Although Lin Yun’s strength had shocked them previously, he didn’t kill anyone, which gave them hope. But this slap was like a buzzing slap on their faces.

“Senior Brother Zhong, we have no intention of going against you. It was all instructed by Xiao Feng…”

Lin Yun then looked at Wei Songhan. Wei Songhan immediately felt alerted with sweat dripping from their back. He instantly knew what Lin Yun’s gaze meant. He was only one step later. If he wasn’t one step later, then he would also be dead like Xiao Feng right now.

“Even ants want to live, but it’s a pity that some people overestimate themselves. I didn’t kill you guys doesn’t mean I’m not capable of doing it. It’s just that it feels no different from squashing ants.” Lin Yun snorted and he turned around to leave. Everyone in the surrounding immediately opened a path with revere in their eyes.

“Zhong Yunxiao is definitely comparable to those on the top ten on the Mortal Ranking!” Gu Yunfei looked at Lin Yun’s back figure and gnashed his teeth, “He’s definitely a monster. But since when is there someone like him in the outer sect?”

With Xiao Feng as an example, no one dared to have any ideas on Lin Yun anymore. A moment later, Lin Yun took out the Imperial Sword Herb. The herb was emitting spiritual energy, which made everyone feel relaxed.

“This is the Imperial Sword Herb? Even without the sword intent, it can be considered a treasure.” Chen Ling stared at the Imperial Sword Herb and felt that he was dreaming. Lin Qiushan and Gu Beixuan were also looking at the herb with emotions. They couldn’t believe that Lin Yun would share something like this with them. “Indeed, this is worth all the troubles.”

Lin Yun held onto the Imperial Sword Herb and started to pluck the leaves before distributing them.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Zhong.”

“I’m really ashamed that I can help Brother Zhong. On the other hand, we even have to trouble Brother Zhong to share the Imperial Sword Herb with us.”

“Brother Zhong, I, Lin Qiushan, owe you one.”

Lin Qiushan, Gu Beixuan, and Chen Ling expressed their gratitude, especially Lin Qiushan. Her words were sincere when she looked at Lin Yun.

“Who can refuse a favor from the Great Qin Empire’s Lin Clan?” smiled Lin Yun.

Lin Qiushan also smiled upon hearing that. She knew that Zhong Yunxiao was only being courteous. Based on what she observed so far about Zhong Yunxiao, she knew that he was a loner and he wouldn’t dare about her identity as a descendant from the Lin Clan.

Lin Yan, on the other hand, wasn’t too bothered with the Imperial Sword Herb. She smiled, “Big Brother Zhong, are you coming with us to the second round?”

“Let’s not do that. I’m afraid that I will only bring you guys trouble.” It would be hard even if Lin Yun didn’t want to reveal his identity, and he would be facing the top ten on the Mortal Ranking. All of them had their own trump cards, and he would be gravely injured if he was careless.

He couldn’t underestimate any of them, especially those on to the top three. Lin Yun also wasn’t afraid. He would just deal with whatever came in his way.

“Oh.” Lin Yan looked disappointed. She then whispered, “Big Brother Zhong, you have to pay the Lin Clan a visit when you go to the capital next time. I’ll welcome you with my big sister.”

“Sure. I’ll do so when I’m free,” smiled Lin Yun. He waved his hand and left the party.

After he left, Lin Yan then turned to look at Lin Qiushan with reluctance, “Big Sister, do you think he will really pay us a visit?”

“What are you thinking? Have you fallen for him? Don’t forget that you don’t even know what he looks like,” smiled Lin Qiushan.

“That’s right. He must be ugly since he’s covering his face with a mask,” said Tian Fei.

Hearing that, Lin Yan became unhappy. She frowned and harrumphed, “So what if he’s wearing a mask? You’re the one ugly. Your whole family is ugly!”

Chen Ling burst out in laughter. He felt fortunate that he wasn’t the one being dissed. As for Tian Fei, he was the one asking to be humiliated. Lin Yun had just shared the Imperial Sword Herb with them, and yet, Tian Fei started talking back about him when he was gone. So he totally deserved to be scolded.

Tian Fei’s face turned red and felt depressed. That wasn’t what Lin Yan said earlier!

“Let’s leave this place first. No one knows what we will be facing on our way to the Sword Tomb, so we can’t afford to be careless,” said Lin Qiushan.

“Yeah. We can tell from the fight for the Imperial Sword Herb that the Alliance-Union Battle will probably go out of control this time.”

“The sect is being serious this time.

After separating from Lin Qiushan’s party, Lin Yun found a place and made sure there wasn’t anyone in the surrounding. Most of the Imperial Sword Herb’s essence lies in the stem, and it didn’t matter much for him to share the leaves.

Lin Yun waved his hand and took out the five Swordcloud Cores. The Imperial Sword Herb and Swordcloud Cores could combine perfectly together, and their effects would even overlap.

“My Iris Sword Sutra should reach the eighth stage after refining it, and I’ll be able to form the fifth profound vein smoothly.” At that time, he would resolve the grudges. The Gentlemen Union issued a bounty on him in the Burial Sword Peak, and he would’ve already attacked if he wasn’t composed enough. After all, no one wanted to be hunted.

Lin Yun made up his mind to give the Gentlemen Union and those in the top ten on the Mortal Ranking a surprise in the second round.
