Chapter 974 Coercion

On top of the Heaven Piercing Peak, Qing Xiaoting stared at the Heaven Piercing Sword attentively. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

Yun Lintian let the sword float freely in the air, and he himself went to check on Yun Qianxue and Shen Liqiu's injuries. With the help of the best-grade healing pills and his wood energy, their wounds fully recovered in a short time.

"If it wasn't for Weilan Tian, I'm afraid we would have fallen into Du Huanfeng's hands by now." Shen Liqiu complained.

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. "He actually dared to make a move?"

"Of course. He had his lackeys by his side, after all." Shen Liqiu snorted. "Hmph! Don't let me see him again."

"He probably doesn't dare anymore. However, we should beware of Xing Renshu. This person is different." Yun Lintian said.

He had witnessed Xing Renshu's decisiveness and meticulous mind by himself. Obviously, he didn't plan to capture him from the beginning. His object should be Yun Lintian's trump cards. Once he knew everything, he would go back and devise a plan that Yun Lintian could not resist.

Such a person was several times scarier than Du Huanfeng and Lei Jun.

"Mhm. I bet they will send his elders over later." Shen Liqiu nodded in agreement. "Where are you going next?"

A strange light flashed through Yun Lintian's eyes as he replied. "Next? Of course, the Azure Ancient City."

Shen Liqiu's eyes widened open. "For real?"

She couldn't believe Yun Lintian planned to go directly to the enemy's nest. This didn't seem to be his usual style.

Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing.

It wasn't because he became arrogant after getting the Heaven Piercing Sword, but because he believed in his strength more than before.

Moreover, he was bound to expose himself in order to rescue Jiang Yingyue. Since it was the case, he'd rather show up by himself instead of doing things overly cautiously, like he usually did.

"Brother Lin, I got the news that Xing Renshu has already left the city. I believe there's something behind this." Jian Feng walked over and said.

"My guess is that someone has taken over his plan." His expression became serious as he spoke.

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly.

"If I guess correctly, it should be his older brother, Xing Renyu." Jian Feng frowned deeply. "I had encountered this person a few times, and he always gave me an uneasy feeling every time."

"Xing Renyu?" Yun Lintian repeated in doubt.

"This person has no status in the Star Gazing Palace, but their elders always act respectfully around him. His treatment is even better than a true successor like Xing Renshu. Without a doubt, he is not ordinary." Jian Feng said solemnly. "You must be careful when you leave this place, Brother Lin."

Yun Lintian nodded slowly. "Thank you for telling me this, Brother Jian."

He thought for a moment and pointed his finger toward Jian Feng's forehead. "This should be useful for you."

A streak of white light shot out of the tip of his finger and went straight to Jian Feng's forehead.

Jian Feng didn't resist it. He quickly digested the information he got, and his eyes immediately widened in disbelief.

"Brother Lin, this is too precious." Jian Feng was shocked because what Yun Lintian gave him was a complete Heaven Piercing Sword Art, as well as the sword insights. With this, his path would be limitless.

Yun Lintian smiled. "I won't come back in the future, and I don't want to disrespect your palace founder by leaving without inheriting the Heavenly Sword Palace. This place is yours, not mine."

He paused for a moment and asked. "Besides, do you really think Supreme Elder Jian and the others will wholeheartedly comply with your palace founder's teachings?"

Jian Feng went silent immediately. Although the Heavenly Sword Palace looked righteous, it was only on the surface. There are many despicable characters inside. And it was impossible for these people to lower their heads to Yun Lintian.

He had seen it all how Jian Xu treated Yun Lintian earlier. It wasn't anything like someone who was planning to serve Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian patted Jian Feng's shoulder and said. "I believe you can do it."

Jian Feng took a deep breath and said solemnly. "Thank you, Brother Lin."

"Oh, right. My actual name is Yun Lintian, and I come from Misty Cloud Sect." Yun Lintian said with a smile. Anyway, his true identity had been exposed already. There was no need to hide it further.

"I see." Jian Feng nodded slowly.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, Jian Xu arrived at the scene with more than two hundred people. Each of them possessed a monarch-level profound strength. Undoubtedly, they were high-level figures.

Jian Xu glanced at the sword and Qing Xiaoting briefly before turning to Yun Lintian. "What is your plan?"

Yun Lintian's face was calm as he replied. "I'm leaving."

Jian Xu frowned slightly and said coldly. "Then you should leave the sword behind."

As his voice fell, the atmosphere turned heavy immediately.

"What's the meaning of this, Supreme Elder?" Jian Feng said with a frown.

Jian Xu glanced at him and said. "You are the true successor of our palace, yet you are so close to an outsider like him. Tell me, did you give up the opportunity and let him take the sword on purpose?"

Jian Feng's heart turned cold instantly upon hearing this. Clearly, Jian Xu was trying to frame him and depriving his position.

He said coldly. "If I could get it, I would have done it long ago. You know it in your heart, Supreme Elder."

"Hmph! How could you speak rudely to Supreme Elder, Junior Brother Feng?" Jian Ning snorted coldly. "Obviously, you are trying to protect Lin Yun. Heh, I didn't expect our true successor to collude with an outsider. You should be damn!"

Everyone behind Jian Xu looked at Jian Feng with pity. Such a good seedling was destroyed because he chose the wrong side.

However, losing Jian Feng was nothing compared to the Heaven Piercing Sword. A genius was born every day, anyway.

"You are so despicable! Have you forgotten your ancestor's teachings?" Shen Liqiu retorted.

"Who are you?" Jian Ning merely gave a sideway glance at her.

Shen Liqiu's hands suddenly became itchy. She wanted to punch someone badly.

Jian Xu's momentum rose as he stared at Yun Lintian coldly. "Leave or die. Choose one."
