Chapter 1949: Shield You From the Wind and Rain



Zu Feiyu turned to Yan Yurou. “What about you, Miss Yurou?”

“Our cooperation has always been my personal decision. I don’t want to trouble my fellow disciples for this,” said Yan Yurou softly. “But if we really are to go against Jin Duyi, then I will definitely do my part.”

Zu Feiyu was stunned before he quickly smiled and said, “That’s fine. Just leave it to me and Brother Tu to gather people.”

The three then jumped right into enforcing their plan.

Meanwhile, having witnessed Lin Xun breaking out of the siege in a thunderous fashion, the crowd of Emperors outside were once again astonished.

They had all thought that the joint force of the three supreme geniuses who were in the top ten of the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings would be Lin Xun’s doom.

However, the power displayed by him had once again surpassed their expectations!

“This youth is surprisingly strong. He has already shown to be neck and neck with characters like Ling Hongzhuang, Huangfu Shaonong, and Mi Wuya,” exclaimed Taishu Hong of Mythical Huang Dao Court.

Coming from the powerful and renowned sect master of a top dao court, this was already an extremely impressive evaluation.

“Of course, Brother Taishu. How can someone who’s been recognized by me be mediocre?” Xia Xinglie drained his cup with a cryptic smile.

Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s Emperor Fire Spirit and All-Demon Dao Court’s Flaming Sky Demon Emperor both had a dark look on their faces. Inwardly, they were actually quite surprised as well. They hadn’t expected that Lin Xun would be able to escape so easily after being surrounded like that.

Flaming Sky Demon Emperor coldly said, “Now he’s exposed his strength, I’m afraid that all parties will quickly regard him as a strong enemy.

“What’s more, there doesn’t seem to be many people in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm who would like to team up with him. It can be very difficult for a loner to go all the way to the finish line.”

Xia Xinglie snorted out a laugh. “Since I alone can activate the Great Dao Ninth Heaven Palace, why can’t he reach the finish line all by himself as well? Oh boy, how funny you guys sound when your hearts harbor prejudice.”

Having stated his piece, he no longer bothered with them as facts were often better proof than arguments.

He was looking forward to Lin Xun’s next performance.

“Good!”

Emperor Fire Spirit’s eyes suddenly lit up as she pointed at an area in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, “Everyone, see for yourselves how our Heaven and Earth Dao Court’s Huangfu Shaonong crushes nine top-talent peers at once!”

It was a canyon that had just undergone a fierce battle. The result was Huangfu Shaonong being the only one standing, looking as majestic and towering as a god.

All the other Emperor judges nodded.

Huangfu Shaonong’s strength had long been unquestionable.

Suddenly, someone said with a frown, “Strange, Mi Wuya hasn’t shown his face at all since the beginning. Even after entering the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, he has been hibernating in an underground cave for many days until now. What is he trying to do?”

Mi Wuya was a core disciple of Panwu Dao Court. Occupying number one on the All Heaven Saint-Kings Rankings, he was a dazzling, legendary figure in the nebula!

However, he had been keeping a very low profile during the Dao Debate Assembly. Especially, in the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, he had been hiding in a remote corner and showed no intention of making a move.

This naturally struck people as odd.

“I think he is like a dragon coiling in the abyss, concealing his edge while he bides his time. Competing over life talismans is not very attractive to him at all, I’m afraid,” mused another expert.

“I heard he has been suppressing his cultivation for three hundred years, and in fact has long possessed the foundation to enter the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage?”

“Indeed; he’s already considered invincible in the Supreme Saint-King Stage. In the past few centuries, he has no longer engaged in combat with people in his generation.”

“Heh, he looks down on competing against his peers now?”

In the Emperors’ discussion, Mi Wuya was undoubtedly a legendary force to be reckoned with, even though he was still only a supreme Saint-King.

With his current depths and prestige, his future path was destined to be unlimited!

……

In the Mythical Huang Secret Realm, even after breaking out of the siege, Lin Xun felt no joy.

As Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing had just been ambushed and eliminated right before his eyes, there was an indescribable anger burning in him.

I’ll slowly settle this score… Lin Xun repeated this vow in his heart.

Had he stayed and gone all out against Tu Qianjue, Zu Feiyu, and Yan Yurou, he was sure that he could suppress them all. However, the situation at that time simply didn’t allow him to do so.

The reason was simple, the commotion caused from activating the grand array to trap those three had certainly alerted many participants.

Had he kept fighting until the end under such a circumstance, it would have been a performance of ‘the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins.’

Hmmm?

As Lin Xun was thinking to himself, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold gleam. His spirit sense had just picked up the presence of several experts nearby who had been quietly chasing after him.

There were two men and one woman.

From their outfits, Lin Xun recognized them to be members of Heavenly Ghost Battle Clan, one of the Great Ten Battle Clans.

He stopped and exposed their tracks. “Trying to fish in troubled water?”

The two men and the woman exchanged glances before stepping out from the shadows.

Their leader, an inky-robed man, said in an amiable tone, “It’s too dangerous to act alone, Fellow Daoist Jin. How about we cooperate?”

They obviously knew who Lin Xun was.

Lin Xun responded, “Sorry, not in the mood.”

The inky-robed man smiled. “Brother Jin, are you really not going to consider it some more?”

His voice had taken on a hint of threat.

Lin Xun was stunned. After sweeping a quick glance at them, he reckoned that these three were not aware of his previous battle with Tu Qianjue’s group.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t even dare to talk to him like this.

Shaking his head, Lin Xun paid them no heed and teleported away.

He didn’t want to waste any more time as he wanted to find Jintian Xuanyue as soon as possible, and then he could start preparing to avenge Teng Yichen and Gui Shanxing.

“You’re but a puny cultivator who just happened to win number one in the Dao Debate of Cloud State. You really don’t know what’s good for you!” snorted the young man wearing a silvery robe as he suddenly took a step forward and slashed out his blade.

Swish!

The radiant blade aura was like a lightning bolt that was thousands of feet long. It was imbued with a sharp and chilly breath and steamed with ancient, mysterious totems.

The inky-robed man’s eyelids jumped. He wanted to stop his companion but made his move a step too late.

Lin Xun didn’t even look back, but behind him, a huge beam of sword qi blasted out.

Poof!

The sharp and chilly blade aura burst chaotically. The silvery-robed man was slashed by a series of sword qi that slit his skin and drew splashes of blood.

He didn’t even have time to scream in pain before he was transported out of the Mythical Huang Secret Realm on the spot.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had long vanished. From start to end, he had never once looked back, let alone bothering to collect the fallen life talisman!

The inky-robed man and the woman gasped, feeling their scalps tingle and their hearts palpitate. Only now did they realize that they had picked on a tough opponent.

Not long after getting back on the move, Lin Xun once again frowned.

His spirit sense had picked up yet another presence that was rapidly moving toward him from ahead.

However, the next moment, he was stunned by what he saw.

A silhouette swept out from the distant void, as beautiful and elegant as a goddess.

However, her snow-white clothes were stained with the blinding scarlet of blood. Her stunning face was pale, and her breathing was showing signs of disorder.

“Xuanyue?” Lin Xun’s pupils dilated. How did she…get into this state?

“Young Master!” Seeing the familiar figure, a light of pleasant surprise flashed in Jintian Xuanyue. She let out a long sigh of relief like a heavy weight had been taken off her heart. “It’s good that you’re okay. I’m glad that nothing happened to you.”

“Don’t mind me! How did you get injured?” Lin Xun had already rushed up to support her. Upon carefully checking her condition, his heart trembled.

At the moment, there were sword wounds, knife wounds, fist marks, claw marks…all over her. Even in some parts, her skin and muscles had become a gory mess that exposed the bones!

Such heavy wounds were simply unbearable to just look at!

Seeing the pain and concern in Lin Xun’s eyes, Jintian Xuanyue’s heart surged with warm waves.

After calming herself, she said, “I heard that you were being chased by Tu Qianjue and his group of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, so I tried to rush here as fast as I could. Who would have thought I’d be ambushed and besieged on the way…”

Saying this, a smile spread on her pale face. She tilted her head back to look at Lin Xun. “Fortunately, they couldn’t stop me. Now that I’ve seen for myself that you are unscathed, Young Master, I can finally be at ease.”

Her voice was soft, cheerful, and overflowing with delight.

For the first time in his life, Lin Xun took a serious and close look at Jintian Xuanyue, his heart quivering.

She…

She had been wounded so heavily, yet all she had thought about was coming to his aid!

When she saw that he was fine, she was so happy, oblivious to the grave degree of her own injuries!

For a while, Lin Xun felt an indescribable shame.

Jintian Xuanyue had been following him since that year on Whirlwind Ship. From that day, the proud treasure who had always been held in the palm of the Primeval Imperial Jintian Clan had taken on the role of his cultivator attendant, performing her duty diligently without a single complaint…

Along the way, she had been well-behaved, almost docile in front of him. She brewed his tea, took care of his meals, housing, and transportation. She shared his worries and solved his problems…

She was the descendant of Primeval Emperor Bai!

She was the apple of Sword Emperor Brave Gale’s eye!

She had helped him immensely, while it seemed like he had never cared much about her…

Lin Xun was rooted to the spot with a storm raging in his heart. Scenes from the past layered in his mind, causing a stuffy feeling in his chest when he saw Jintian Xuanyue’s happy smile.

“What’s the matter, Young Master?” Jintian Xuanyue couldn’t help but ask when she felt something was abnormal about him. His gaze on her was swirling with too many emotions that had never been there before.

“It’s nothing.” Lin Xun took a deep breath to forcibly curb his tumbling emotions. Then, he pressed his hands on her shoulders and said, “Xuanyue, from now on, just relax and focus on recuperating. Leave it to me to shield you from the wind and rain.”

Every word was stressed in a tone that allowed no objection.
