After hearing these words, Wen Jing was stunned once more.
Even the Heavenly Academy was mere trivial dust? She felt that Lin Yun’s words were simply unbelievable.
Deep down, Wen Jing was extremely curious about what kind of existence Lin Yun truly was.
“By the way, Wen Jing, what are your plans for the future?” Lin Yun asked, turning to her.
“My entire family is dead. Even my father’s old acquaintance, Han Gaofeng, has betrayed his promise. I… I do not know what to do from now on.” Wen Jing lowered her head.
In this world, she was now utterly alone, with no idea where her future lay.
“I understand how you feel. I have faced many hardships myself. Remember, only by becoming strong yourself can you protect yourself. Relying on others is never a long-term solution,” Lin Yun said.
“Yes, I will cultivate diligently.” Wen Jing nodded firmly.
“Go back to your room for now. I will keep watch. If anything happens, I will know. With me here, no one can harm you. I mean what I say,” Lin Yun told her.
“Big Brother, I will not disturb you any longer.” Wen Jing said goodbye and left.
After Wen Jing had gone.
“Now, I just wait,” Lin Yun murmured to himself.
During the waiting period, Lin Yun had no intention of idling. There were still many areas where he needed to improve.
He decided to treat this as a period of secluded cultivation.
Having made up his mind, Lin Yun took out a massive quantity of Haoyue Crystal Stones.
Next, he planned to use the fourth Source Heart to convert the energy from the Haoyue Crystal Stones and cultivate his realm.
No matter when, advancing one’s realm would always be of utmost importance.
Back at the peak competition, Lin Yun had won over a hundred billion Haoyue Crystal Stones. Although he had spent some on redeeming items, plenty remained, enough to sustain his cultivation for quite a long time.
…
While Lin Yun was cultivating, news of him killing the Chasing Wind Sect elder and overwhelming the city lord had spread completely throughout Yan City, causing an enormous sensation.
Everyone was saying that the empire might send powerful experts to deal with Lin Yun, and it was even possible that the Sea Wind Emperor himself would come.
Sea Wind Empire, Chasing Wind Sect.
Inside the main hall.
The disciple whom Lin Yun had let go had already reported everything to the sect master.
Upon hearing it all, the Chasing Wind Sect master flew into a towering rage.
“Sect Master, he said that no matter how our Chasing Wind Sect seeks revenge, he will be waiting in Yan City,” the disciple said timidly.
“To dare kill an elder of my Chasing Wind Sect, he is courting death! If we do not eliminate him, how will my Chasing Wind Sect ever maintain its footing in the Sea Wind Empire?!”
The sect master’s anger blazed. “Summon all the elders at once!”
…
Sea Wind Empire imperial capital, a side hall in the palace.
The Sea Wind Emperor was sitting in the hall, discussing matters with one of his grand commanders.
At that moment, an imperial guard hurried in.
“Your Majesty, urgent intelligence has just arrived from the Yan City lord.” The guard presented the report.
The Sea Wind Emperor took it.
After opening and reading it, his expression instantly darkened.
“An unknown nobody dares to make such arrogant demands. This is outrageous!” The Sea Wind Emperor slammed the report onto the table, furious.
It had been far too long since anyone in his Sea Wind Empire had dared to challenge his authority.
“Your Majesty, what has happened?” The grand commander beside him asked quickly upon seeing this.
“See for yourself.” The Sea Wind Emperor waved his hand.
The grand commander picked up the report and read it.
“What brazen words. He actually dares to order Your Majesty to go to him, and with a seven-day limit? Who is this Lin Yun? I have never heard of him. Is there such a figure on our Star Blue Continent?” the grand commander said in astonishment.
“Since he can easily injure the Yan City lord and kill a Chasing Wind Sect elder, he clearly has some ability. You go to Yan City personally. Go quickly and return quickly. Bring me his head,” the Sea Wind Emperor ordered.
The Sea Wind Emperor knew that the beings who had stepped into eternal life on the Star Blue Continent were only a handful, and he knew every one of them.
This was enough to prove that Lin Yun was not an eternal being. Sending this grand commander would be more than sufficient.
“As you command.” The grand commander accepted the order at once.
