Chapter 123
The Radiant Pavilion’s party was filled with elites, and there were even cultivators in the Seventh Orifice of the Xiantian Realm among. Who knew if there might be Profound Martial Realm as well.
“Leave us.” The young man suddenly waved his hand.
“Young Sect Master?”
“It’s nothing. I just wish to speak to this friend privately, so leave us.”
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
The elite party from the Radiant Pavilion backed down under the young man’s order.
“I am the Radiant Pavilion’s Young Sect Master, Ming Hua. For some reason, you look familiar to me. Do you mind removing your hood?” The young man smiled, looking at Lin Yun. There wasn’t any killing aura coming from him, and he seemed somewhat amicable.
But Lin Yun could sense that this young man’s aura wasn’t any weaker than Mei Zihua.
“I’m sorry, but you probably got the wrong person.” Lin Yun replied. He did not want to get involved with Ming Hua.
“Is that so? But your reaction verified my speculation even more. You’re Lin Yun, right?” Ming Hua suddenly called out Lin Yun’s ident.i.ty.
Had he not hidden well? Lin Yun was baffled about how Ming Hua managed to recognize him. He shouldn’t look any different from any cultivators with his disguise, and the sword box was also concealed under the cloak.
“It looks like I’m right.” Ming Hua’s eyes flickered with slyness. He smiled when he saw Lin Yun keeping his silence. “You don’t have to deny my guesses. Although the Blood Cloud Sect declared your death after s.n.a.t.c.hing the Eighth Grade Lava Core on the Heavenly Flame Peak, I got the news that you robbed Mei Zihua’s Dragoncloud Fruit and left easily…”
Ming Hua then raised his brow and smiled, “Heh, heh! Mei Zihua is aloof, and he will want to hide this piece of news. But there’s no eternal secret in the world, and the news that you’re alive has now spread throughout the Azure Sun County.”
“So, what do you want.” Lin Yun straightforwardly asked.
Seeing that Lin Yun had acknowledged his ident.i.ty, Ming Hua laughed, “Haha! It’s really you! But you don’t have to be worried about me. I have no hostility against you, and I feel that we can cooperate. You should know about Wan Clan’s matters, right? If my Radiant Pavilion did not protect them, they would be annihilated by now.”
Lin Yun was speechless when he heard Ming Hua’s words. So it turns out that Ming Hua was guessing his ident.i.ty. But as for the cooperation between then, Lin Yun wasn’t interested. He replied, “I’m not interested.”
“Are you sure? You’ve offended the Blood Cloud Sect and Golden Flame Sect at the same time. If you’re willing to cooperate with my Radiant Pavilion, I’m willing to ensure your safety in the Azure Sun Realm.”
The Dragon Blooded Horse turned into a violent storm and disappeared, leaving a cloud of dust behind.
“What incredible speed.” Ming Hua clicked his tongue in surprise.
“Young Sect Master, how are you so certain about his ident.i.ty?” An elder came over.
“The fire elemental spiritual energy on him is refined to the point that it feels somewhat terrifying, and I linked it up with the Eighth Grade Lava Core. So I probed him, but I never expected that he’s Lin Yun.” Ming Hua replied.
“But he doesn’t seem to know what’s good for him. Shall I send someone to tail him?”
“Don’t know what’s good for him? He just doesn’t trust big sects. I’m sure that he will make a choice when he feels the pressure from the two sects. Oh, I heard that the Blood Cloud Sect’s Xue Tu has come out of seclusion?” Ming Hua smiled.
Upon mentioning Xue Tu, the old man’s face changed, “Yeah. He came out for the Azure Sun Realm.”
“Heh, heh! I wonder if he made any progress in his Blood Cloud Hands. How curious!” Ming Hua’s eyes flickered with excitement for the upcoming event.
The history of the Azure Sun Realm went way back. It had already existed before the Great Qin Empire was established. But no one knew precisely which era it was from.
Everyone knew that it was a dream-like era only heard in legends. No one could imagine how strong those ancient sects were in that era. It was said to be a golden age of cultivation, with no lack of monstrous geniuses.
But for some reason, that golden age suddenly disappeared, only leaving ruins behind. The current era was built on top of that ruins, but no one could stir the Azure Sun Realm’s seal till now.
Even the founding emperor of the Great Qin Empire couldn’t remove the seal. Otherwise, it would’ve already been monopolized by now.
The reason why the Azure Sun County was so famous in the Great Qin Empire was due to this secret realm. Every time it opens, the Azure Sun County would welcome a grand occasion where cultivators flocked over from all directions.
The Azure Sun Valley was located in a valley, and the valley’s entrance had two towering statues. The ancient statues seemed like they were guarding the realm. If the seal did not lift, no one was able to enter.
When Lin Yun arrived on the Dragon Blooded Horse, he swept his glance out and saw a mult.i.tude of people. The ma.s.s gathering had even covered up the valley, but he could see the two statues.
Looking at the statues, Lin Yun was shocked. The statues were covered with traces left behind by age. When the ancient aura permeated out in heaven and earth, the clouds froze in the river of time. When he looked at the two statues, Lin Yun felt incredibly pressured.
The two statues might seem simple, but they possessed a domineering aura. Glancing at it, Lin Yun felt a mountain cras.h.i.+ng down on him, which felt suffocating.
Under the majestic aura, Lin Yun felt like a speck of dust. He only looked at it briefly before he turned his gaze away.
“The two statues seemed like the guardians of these ancient ruins. No wonder no one dared to mess with it.” Lin Yu immediately understood something.
The Azure Sun Realm only allowed cultivators in the Xiantian Realm to enter, and anyone above that would die. But over the years, many people tried messing with it, but all of them had failed.
“How did such powerful sects get annihilated back then?” Lin Yun shook his head. He felt that this topic was too heavy for him, and he did not ponder too much about it.
Even the Dragon Blooded Horse had behaved itself here. Along the way, Lin Yun could see many Blood Cloud Sect’s disciples, and they seem to be searching around.
Are they searching for me? Well, it wouldn’t take a genius to figure out that he would come if he weren’t dead.
But there were at least seventy to eighty thousand people here, and there was no lack of monstrous existences. So even if the Blood Cloud Sect was overbearing, they did not dare to take it too far.
Finding him was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
The regions near the valley had all been occupied by the major forces. As long as the seal opens up, they would be the first to enter. Joining the mult.i.tude of people, Lin Yun could see the valley’s entrance, and he saw Mei Zihua standing in a good position.
As an overlord force in the Azure Sun County, the Golden Flame Sect would naturally occupy a place.
Mei Zihua seemed indifferent and unhappy, with an expression that deterred anyone from approaching him. He felt depressed because he had no idea who leaked the matter of Lin Yun robbing his Dragoncloud Fruit.
“That is…?” Lin Yun knitted his brows when he saw someone among the Blood Cloud Sect’s party.
That person had a lean face, and the sinister aura coming from him was terrifying. He was even more fearsome than Mei Zihua.
“Looks like the Blood Cloud Sect is not a pushover either…they actually have such a young expert.” Lin Yun pulled his hood and hid deeper.
The Azure Sun Realm will soon open, and he had to be low-profile right now.
But a brief moment later, Lin Yun suddenly saw a familiar figure. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, making sure that his eyes weren’t playing games with him.
It was a young lady in red, with a delicate appearance. She was covered in a spiritual temperament, looking adorable. Lin Yun instantly recognized her.
She was the one who helped him grasp the incomplete sword intent with her music, while he was vexing over the fact that he couldn’t summon his martial soul.
When that lady in red saw Lin Yun, she also looked shocked. Shortly after, she squinted her eyes. But when Lin Yun tried to take a better look at her, she disappeared.
“Excuse me.” Lin Yun began to squeeze through the crowd, trying to find that young lady.
However, trying to find someone within a mult.i.tude of people wasn’t easy.
Whoos.h.!.+
A sinister gaze suddenly fell onto Lin Yun, sending a chill down his spine. When he raised his head, he saw that person from the Blood Cloud Sect looking at him with a sneer.
