The Sovereign's Ascension Chapter 200

Chapter 200

“What’s the matter? You don’t want to?” Niu Bingshun gave a weird laugh and took a step forth, releasing his aura. His aura came crashing down at Lin Yun and Li Wuyou, causing the two to feel suppressed.
Li Wuyou was inwardly shocked to discover that Niu Bingshun was in the third stage of the Profound Martial Realm. With that cultivation, he could be considered a senior disciple in the Sword Firmament Pavilion. But everyone had no idea why someone like him was sent to this Herbal Peak.
Looking at the few people standing behind Niu Bingshun, all of them had sinister expressions on their faces. Each of them was at least in the Profound Martial Realm.
“Big Brother, what are we going to do now?” Li Wuyou panicked a little and quietly retreated to Lin Yun’s back. He still hadn’t reached the Profound Martial Realm yet. There was no way he could compete with Niu Bingshun, not to mention that the latter had so many helpers.
Without any changes in his expression, Lin Yun asked, “What do we still have to do aside from scattering fertilizers?”
“At least you’re tactful. Aside from handling the fertilizers, you two also have to wash our clothes. If you have additional time, the two of you will help us get rid of the weeds and loosen the earth.” Niu Bingshun said with his arms folded together. It was rare to have rookies in the Herbal Peak, so he naturally had to make good use of them.
“Then what will you be doing?” Lin Yun asked, narrowing his eyes into slits.
“Me? I’m naturally responsible for supervising the two of you. After all, I’m responsible for this herbal field.” Niu Bingshun chuckled.
“Understood. In other words, you won’t be doing anything.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. You daddy won’t be doing anything,” Niu Bingshun laughed. His laughter also attracted more laughter from those standing behind him. Waving his hand, Niu Bingshun slapped Lin Yun, “What’s the matter? You’re not happy with the arrangements? Well, suck it up even if you’re unhappy!”
He could tell that Lin Yun and Li Wuyou weren’t going to be obedient, but that didn’t matter. There was no place for them in this herbal field. But right before his hand reached Lin Yun, a bolt of lightning flashed past his eyes.
To be exact, it was Lin Yun’s hands, but he was moving at the speed of lightning. Before Niu Bingshun could react, Lin Yun grabbed onto his wrist and applied pressure. The pain of his wrist being crushed made Niu Bingshun yell out in pain. His robust figure was like a little lamb and collapsed on the ground.
When Lin Yun loosens his grip, Niu Bingshun staggered backward.
“Big Brother!” The other disciples with the prisoner uniforms came over to help Niu Bingshun on his feet.
“Go! All of you go! I want him dead!” Niu Bingshun roared furiously. And upon receiving his orders, the group immediately charged at Lin Yun. Rules forbade swords in the Herbal Peak. So the group charged at Lin Yun barehandedly.
“A bare hand fight?” Lin Yun smiled. He had the Thunderblitz Battle Physique and Dragon-Tiger Fist, not to mention that his body was brought to a whole new level after he made his breakthrough into the Profound Martial Realm. So if they were going to fight barehandedly, none of them could defeat him.
The Iris Flower bloomed in Lin Yun’s Dantian while he executed the Undying Vajra Seal. Releasing an unstoppable momentum with his hands, Lin Yun charged into the crowd. It was a messy fight, with many people being injured. After all, they were all Profound Martial Realms, and Lin Yun couldn’t take them down with a single fist.
Nevertheless, Lin Yun had achieved his goal. As long as none of them ran, Lin Yun could just go up and beat them down easily without any pressure. He smashed his fist against the face of one person who was rushing against him.
Under the explosive power of the Dragon-Tiger Fist, no one was his match. After seven to eight punches, the group was lying on the ground wailing out in pain. The rest were trembling while watching from a distance. They didn’t dare to take a step forth and hid behind Niu Bingshun.
When Niu Bingshun saw this scene, his face turned grave. The origin energy within his body rumbled while he activated his three profound veins, releasing an oppressive aura.
“If I don’t beat you down today till you beg for mercy, I won’t be able to stay in this herbal field anymore.” He rushed towards Lin Yun right after he spoke. The moment coming from his body rumbled like a mountain, making Lin Yun, who had yet to form his first profound vein to feel some pressure.
“Looks like this person isn’t a pushover.”
Lin Yun could tell that Niu Bingshun was pretty powerful. Even Huangfu Jingxuan wouldn’t be able to defeat Niu Bingshun. But it was a pity that he met Lin Yun, who grasped the complete sword intent. A buzzing sword ring echoed out from Lin Yun’s body, and in the next moment, the sword intent pierced Niu Bingshun’s aura.
When Niu Bingshun sensed that something was amiss, it was already too late. Lin Yun leaped into the air, executing the Flying Dragon, Leaping Tiger. His left hand was like a dragon, and a tiger roar echoed out when he punched. Taking the hit, Niu Bingshun vomited a mouthful of blood and fell onto the ground.
“The complete sword intent!” Niu Bingshun struggled to get on his feet with shock in his eyes while clutching his chest. The others were also taken aback. They didn’t expect Lin Yun to grasp the complete sword intent.
“Big Brother, over here!” Li Wuyou moved a chair out from the straw shack and placed it beside Lin Yun.
Lin Yun wasn’t polite to him and sat down. Looking at the group wailing out in pain before him, he spoke out lightly, “Get up on your feet. Stop pretending anymore. I didn’t use a lot of strength earlier. All of you are in the Profound Martial Realms, so stop pretending to be weak.”
His words instantly made those lying on the ground felt embarrassed. But they still patted the dust on their bodies and stood up. Looking at them, Niu Bingshun couldn’t help cursing. This group of bastards actually pretended to be dead the moment they hit a hard bone. If everyone had gone up together, Lin Yun wouldn’t be sitting here.
But he knew that there was no way he could count on these people, who were punished to the Herbal Peak.
“You, come here and tell me more about the Herbal Peak.” Lin Yun pointed at Niu Bingshun. When he saw Lin Yun possessing the complete sword intent, Niu Bingshun instantly knew that there was no way he could defeat Lin Yun.
Although he was feeling unhappy, he still bit the bullet and walked over. After some explanation from Niu Bingshun, Lin Yun and Li Wuyou finally knew what kind of place was the Herbal Peak in the Sword Firmament Pavilion. As one of the four transcendent sects in the Great Qin Empire, the Sword Firmament Pavilion naturally occupied a treasured land.
The Herbal Peak was built on top of this treasured land for growing spiritual herbs. The Herbal Hall was a subsidiary hall managed by the Pellet Hall, so it did not have a high position. Disciples who were sent here were either senior disciples who made mistakes or those who had been eliminated. In a nutshell, these people did not have any background or talent, but they didn’t want to leave the Sword Firmament Pavilion.
According to Niu Bingshun, someone like Lin Yun shouldn’t be sent to the Herbal Hall even if he made a mistake. He should be sent to the Broken Sword Cliff to be confined. But despite calling it confinement, it was actually a place for seclusion. Only those who the sect had abandoned would be sent here.
Li Wuyou sighed, “Bai Ting that old fellow is a little too much. He sent us here for three months.”
But Lin Yun didn’t feel that it was terrible. He devoured a large amount of Yin energy back then, and he could use these three months to consolidate his cultivation. After all, his improvement in his cultivation was a little too quick, rising from the fifth orifice of the Xiantian Realm to the Profound Martial Realm. So he also needed some time to consolidate himself.
“Your strength isn’t bad, and your origin energy is refined. You don’t seem like someone abandoned by the sect. So, what have you done?” Lin Yun asked curiously.
But just when Niu Bingshun was about to speak, someone laughed out, “Our Big Brother Niu isn’t simple. He peeked at female disciples showering and even stole a few undergarments while he was at it. He’s the first person to do it in the Sword Firmament Pavilion’s thousands of years of history!”
“Hahaha!” Li Wuyou laughed. He then looked at Niu Bingshun and continued, “Brother, I never expected you to be such a genius.”
Niu Bingshun immediately blushed and turned around to glare at the one who spoke. While he was cursing in his heart, he smiled, “I don’t dare to accept your praises.”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. From now on, the great task of scattering fertilizers will be handed to you.” Li Wuyou patted Niu Bingshun’s shoulder.
When Niu Bingshun heard that, his face instantly turned black, and he tried negotiating with a bitter smile, “T-t-this… I can get someone else to do it instead. I’m experienced here, and I can be on standby if the two of you need anything.”
“No need. We’ll leave you with the fertilizers. The two of us will take over what you’ve been doing in the past.” Lin Yun waved his hand.
Niu Bingshun immediately burst into tears inwardly. He didn’t have to do anything in the past. He initially thought that he had two rookies he could take advantage of, but he never expected these two to be wolves instead! Not only did they rob him of his position, but they even wanted him to handle the fertilizers.
