Chapter 955 Heavenly Sword Summit (1)

Lei Jun was shocked. The strength Lin Xinyao displayed was beyond his expectation. He remembered that she didn't even reach the Heaven Profound Realm the last time they met. How did she step into the Saint Profound Realm now? This speed was simply outrageous!

An old man behind Lei Jun waved his hand gently, trying to dissolve her aura. However, his expression changed drastically as soon as he discovered he was unable to do it.

The way he looked at Lin Xinyao completely changed.

"Since she has stated her stance clearly, you should leave, Young Master Lei." Sun Ling suddenly said. She glanced at the old man and reprimanded him. "As a senior, you shouldn't meddle in the younger generation's business."

The old man's face turned unsightly. Compared to Sun Ling, his strength couldn't be counted as a thing. If she wanted to do something here, it was impossible for him to resist her.

"We should leave, Young Master." The old man sent a sound transmission to Lei Jun.

Lei Jun took a deep breath to calm down. He looked straight at Lin Xinyao and said. "I'll take my leave first, then. However, what I said is still counted. I will send resources and Thunder Guards over whether you agree or not."

After saying that, he stood up and left with his guards.

Sun Ling watched Lei Jun leave and turned to Lin Xinyao. "Actually, the relationship between your master and Palace Master Lei is very good. It is unnecessary to be an enemy with him."

Lin Xinyao shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Sun Ling didn't linger on this topic further. "Are you sure you want to participate in the Heavenly Sword Summit this time?"

"Yes." Lin Xinyao paused for a second and continued. "I need to."

Sun Ling took a deep look at her and said softly. "Be careful of Wang Jin."

Without a doubt, Wang Jin won first place in the Grand Assessment that had just ended. Whether it was his strength or background, it was undoubtedly top-notch.

After learning about Wang Jun and Wang Jue's incident, Sun Ling was certain Wang Jin would target Lin Xinyao whenever an opportunity arose.

,m "Understood." Lin Xinyao replied calmly.

After leaving the Sun Clan manor, Lei Jun's face became terrifyingly gloomy. "This bitch doesn't know what's good for her. Don't blame me for being ruthless later."

The old man behind him said cautiously. "Young Master. Although the news said Han Bingling cannot resist the Poison Valley further, seeing how calm Lin Xinyao is, there must be something tricky here."

Lei Jun frowned slightly and asked. "What about our people? No news yet?"

"It will take another two days before they reach there." The old man replied.

Lei Jun was dissatisfied. "Why is it so slow?"

The old man smiled bitterly, not knowing how to reply.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked up to them and said politely. "Greetings, Young Master Lei. My young master has invited you to discuss something… It is related to Lin Yun's true identity."

Lei Jun furrowed his brows. "Who's your young master?"

"It's Young Master Du." The middle-aged man replied.

Lei Jun was slightly surprised. He thought for a moment and said. "Lead the way."

The middle-aged man smiled and made an inviting gesture. "Please."

Boom!

On top of Heaven Piercing Peak, sword intents crashed and flew everywhere. Yun Lintian and Jian Feng kept disappearing and reappearing from time to time as they swung their swords at each other.

"Go!" Jian Feng flickered his wrist, and the long sword in his hand vibrated vigorously, releasing a brilliant golden radiance.

Yun Lintian's expression became solemn. He drew his sword back, and purple lightning sparks immediately appeared around it as he performed a vertical slash, cleaving the golden radiance in half.

All of a sudden, the golden radiance that was cut in half turned into countless sword lights and folded over, bombarding Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian's expression changed slightly. He spun midair and shot toward Jian Feng. His entire body was covered with terrifying purple lightning that kept repelling the incoming sword lights.

Seeing this, Jian Feng clenched his sword and made a horizontal slash to welcome Yun Lintian.

Boom!

Two swords collided, producing a huge impact to sweep everything nearby.

Both of them were forced to retreat and managed to stabilize themselves on the ground.

"Phew. I can't beat you, Brother Jian." Yun Lintian let out a long breath and said.

Jian Feng shook his hand to get rid of the numbness and said. "No need to be modest, Brother Lin. You have been practicing for a week, and your progress has already reached this high level. I doubt anyone in this world could achieve what you did."

Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing more. It had been seven days since he started practicing the Heaven Piercing Sword Art, and he had achieved at least fifty percent of it. He was confident no one below the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm could be his opponent if he went all out.

At this moment, Qing Xiaoting walked over and said. "Take a rest first, and we will leave in one hour."

Yun Lintian and Jian Feng nodded and walked to the pavilion in the distance.

"Husband. You have worked hard." Shen Liqiu welcomed Yun Lintian and handed him a cup of water.

Yun Lintian was already used to her and didn't bother to correct it. He took the cup and drank in one gulp.

"Are we leaving for the Heavenly Sword Summit soon?" Yun Qianxue asked.

Jian Feng nodded and said. "Yes. It's about to start in three hours."

Yun Lintian put the cup down and asked. "Can you tell us more about it, Brother Jian?"

Jian Feng thought for a moment and said. "As all of you know, the Heavenly Sword Palace was founded because of the Heavenly Sword. More than five thousand years ago, the Heavenly Sword fell from the sky and immediately divided the continent into five continents."

"At that time, our palace founder happened to resonate with the sword and gained an insight, which later became the Heavenly Sword Divine Art."

"However, even though he could resonate with the sword, he was unable to touch or remove it. And the Heavenly Sword Summit has been born since. Whoever can take the sword away, that person will become the master of our Heavenly Sword Palace."
