The Sovereign’s Ascension

ed, the purple-clothed middle-aged man tried to find out about Lin Yun’s origin.
When Lin Yun told him that he came from the Great Qin Empire, the purple-clothed middle-aged man was baffled because he clearly didn’t believe those words.
But Lin Yun didn’t want to bother explaining things if Gu Fei didn’t believe him.

In the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark and the upper hierarchy of the Three-Eagle Stronghold began to feel anxious.
In the past, even if the three chiefs left, they would always return at sunset.
But it was fishy that they hadn’t come back yet.

“Deacon Gu, it’s bad!” A scout ran in anxiously as he continued, “The Bloodwolf Clan is here.
They’re barely a hundred miles away from the stronghold.”

A hundred miles wasn’t a very long distance to cultivators.
Even Profound Martial Realms could travel that distance in two hours.

“What should we do…” Everyone began to feel anxious because their chiefs weren’t here, not to mention that Lin Yun had injured eight of their experts.
If the Bloodwolf Clan came now, it would definitely be a massacre.

“Calm down!” Gu Fei yelled after a brief shock.
“So what if they’re here? The Three-Eagle Stronghold has been here for many years.
They won’t be able to break the array protecting the stronghold anytime soon.
Issue an order to be on alert and seal all the exits!”

Lin Yun was inwardly shocked as things were getting more interesting.
It was too much of a coincidence for the Bloodwolf Clan’s elites to come when the three chiefs weren’t around.
Lin Yun could tell that Gu Fei was just pretending to be calm.

Without a Yin-Yang stage expert present, it was just a matter of time before they would break into the stronghold and create a bloodbath.
Lin Yun, however, had no intention of interfering as he began to stroll around the stronghold.

He could see people gathering at a visible speed beneath the walls to seal the entire stronghold.
This made Lin Yun frown because he was planning on finding an opportunity to leave.
He knew that he would be intercepted by the Bloodwolf Clan if he left like this.

The Bloodwolf Clan had many Yang stage experts and it was rumored that their sect master was someone in the greater Yin-Yang stage.
The best opportunity would be to leave when both sides were fighting.
But he had no idea what the Bloodwolf Clan was trying to do.

Right at this moment, three powerful figures appeared, which made everyone in the stronghold cheer, “The chiefs are back!”

Lin Yun raised his head in doubt to see an elder appearing.
The elder emitted a powerful aura that was even more powerful than the outer sect of the Bloodwing Pavilion’s Grand Elder.
That man was probably Leng Xiangyu’s father, one of the chiefs of the stronghold.

Lin Yun was surprised to find such a powerful figure at the border of the Cloud Prefecture.
Behind him were the two other chiefs, but they were both injured.
The three of them might have the same cultivation, but there was clearly a huge gulf between them.

This meant that Chief Leng must have had an encounter when he was young.
After Chief Leng comforted everyone, he said, “There’s no need to panic.
I’ve already checked.
The Bloodwolf Clan’s target isn’t us but the Thundercloud Treasury.”

“Thundercloud Treasury?”

“How is that possible? So, the place where Lei Yunzi is buried is really Flagscythe County? Isn’t that just a legend though?”

“Many geniuses from the overlord sects have searched through the Flagscythe County, but they found nothing…”

“How is that possible? Even if Lei Yunzi was buried in Flagscythe County, how did the Bloodwolf Clan find out about the location?” Everyone had shock written on their faces.

“This is true.
Me and the second chief were injured by that fellow from the Bloodwing Sect.
That fellow had a treasure map from long ago that he managed to decipher just recently.” The two Yin-Yang stage experts beside Chief Leng explained the situation further.

The two of them were injured pretty heavily as they both had huge gashes on their chests.
Their wounds were so deep that their internal organs could be seen.
So one could imagine how brutal the battle must’ve been for them.

“I know that there’s a treasure map, but I didn’t expect it to be in the hands of the Bloodwolf Clan.” Chief Leng said solemnly with a somewhat paled face.

In the distance, Lin Yun was in deep thoughts as he seemed to have understood something.
The Bloodwolf Clan sent out their elites to intimidate the Three-Eagle Stronghold while they sent out experts to search the tomb.

But who the hell was Lei Yunzi?
