The Sovereign’s Ascension

y will still find ways to make things difficult for us in the future!”

“There are no good people in the Gentlemen Union!”

The disciples of Locket Mountain immediately took their stance.
They did not want Xin Yan to be placed in a difficult position, even if the situation wasn’t advantageous to them.

Waving her hand, Xin Yan looked at Wang Yan, “You know that I can’t agree to those terms.
Speak, what do you really want!”

“Well, I’m not an unreasonable person.” A cold light flashed in Wang Yan’s eyes and he revealed his true intention.
“The grudges between disciples of the Mortal Ranking will be settled among themselves.
Lin Yun and Ye Liuyun’s battle isn’t over.
A month from now, the two of them will continue their battle on the Life-Death Stage!”

Killing a fellow disciple was forbidden in the sect, but there were places to resolve grudges.
Once disciples stood on the Life-Death Stage, only the winner would live.

Everyone’s faces changed when they heard that.
After all, it was too much.
Lin Yun was only a rookie who had just made his breakthrough into the Profound Martial Realm.
So how could he possibly contend with Ye Liuyun who was in the third stage of the Profound Martial Realm and 36th on the Mortal Ranking?

If Lin Yun went up against Ye Liuyun, it would spell certain death.
This was Wang Yan’s scheme because he knew that he couldn’t kill Lin Yun through normal means in the Sword Firmament Pavilion.

Even if Xin Yan didn’t stop Ye Liuyun earlier, there was no way Ye Liuyun would lose his mind and kill Lin Yun.
After all, how could he possibly sacrifice his future just to kill someone? If Wang Yan had forced this order upon Ye Liuyun, no one in the Gentlemen Union would follow him in the future.

So Wang Yan pondered and felt that destroying Lin Yun’s sword intent in the Myriad Sword Painting was the best choice.
However, it was unfortunate that Ye Liuyun failed.
But just when Wang Yan thought that he had to wait for another opportunity, Xin Yan delivered this opportunity right to him.
Now, he could force Lin Yun on the Life-Death Stage.

“Get lost!” However, Xin Yan cursed at him unexpectedly, “You can go ahead and convene a meeting.
I’ll see how many people will try to touch the Locket Mountain after knowing that I violated the blood oath to save someone!”

So she’s not playing by the rules? Wang Yan cursed inwardly because of this mad woman.
With a grim smile, he furiously replied, “Alright then! In the future, my Gentlemen Union will also not abide by the blood oath.
So your Locket Mountain better watch out!”

The moment he spoke those words, an uproar was incited and everyone’s faces changed drastically.
This matter was developing towards war.
The Gentlemen Union and Locket Mountain were top alliance-unions in the Sword Firmament Pavilion.
If a war broke out between them, it would surely raise a storm.
There would be no way to stop it unless a Sword-Bearing Elder showed up.

“Let me return those words to you.
We’ll see!” Xin Yan replied coldly.

“Senior Sister, I accept his suggestion.” But right at this moment, a youth holding his chest calmly stepped up.
That person was naturally Lin Yun.
He stood out just as war was about to break out between the two alliance-unions.
This was something that no one had expected.

A cold look flashed in Wang Yan’s eyes when Lin Yun said this.
He immediately gave Ye Liuyun a signal.
He only wanted Lin Yun’s life, so if possible, he did not want to start a war with the Locket Mountain.
This was the best course of action, especially since Lin Yun was now courting death.

“All the fellow disciples here can testify for me.
I, Ye Liuyun, an outer disciple of the Sword Firmament Pavilion have a grudge against Lin Yun.
I hereby issue a challenge on the Life-Death Stage one month from now!” Ye Liuyun bit on his finger and dripped his blood on his Sword Firmament Token before throwing it towards Lin Yun.

However, Xin Yan intervened and grabbed onto the challenge token.
Turning around, she questioned coldly, “Are you insane? Are you trying to die here? Or have you lived enough?”

Lin Yun looked at Xin Yan’s hand that held the challenge token.
Blood was dripping from her palm.
She was wounded from when she grabbed Ye Liuyun’s sword with her bare hands.

“Senior Sister, there’s no way you can take care of me for the rest of my life.
I will naturally take responsibility for this matter since I’m the cause of it.
There’s no need to implicate the entire Locket Mountain just because of me.” Lin Yun knew that there was no way Wang Yan would let him off after killing Wang Ning and today’s humiliation was just the beginning.

“Furthermore, are you certain that I’ll be weaker than him after a month?” Lin Yun’s blood boiled and he smiled, “Or do you also think that I’m a piece of trash as he said?”

Even if Ye Liuyun did not issue the challenge today, Lin Yun would still return today’s humiliation no matter what.
Did these people really think that he was a pushover? If that was the case, then they must be dreaming!

Xin Yan was briefly stunned by Lin Yun’s words.
He took this opportunity to snatch the challenge token away before she could react.
Placing it against his Sword Firmament Token, he said, “The Life-Death Stage one month from now!”

The disciples of the Locket Mountain were surprised when they heard those words.
Lin Yun had just joined the Sword Firmament Pavilion.
One month ago, he was still at Herbal Peak.
Now, in just one month, he would be facing Ye Liuyun, the 36th place on the Mortal Ranking, on the Life-Death Stage.

Even the other disciples in the surrounding were also shocked by this scene.
To them, Lin Yun was courting death.
