The Sovereign’s Ascension

didn’t see her on the mountain…” Bai Lixuan paused briefly before he continued, “I saw a dragon flying away after you entered the core region.
She chased after it, but I’m not too certain about what happened.”

Lin Yun knew that it was definitely Yue Weiwei.
He quickly responded to Bai Lixuan, “You should leave first.
I’m going to take another look around.”

“Be careful,” said Bai Lixuan before he turned around and left.

After Bai Lixuan left, Lin Yun continued his search in the treasury.
It didn’t take long for the entire treasury to collapse.
Aside from the mountain Lin Yun was at, all the other mountains began to crumble with countless treasures getting sucked into the mysterious vortex in the sky.
The vortex looked like the mouth of a dragon, which was kind of strange.

But Lin Yun didn’t think too much about it.
He was only concerned about Yue Weiwei.
He was confident that she must’ve chased after the Indigoflame Thunderwhip that belonged to him.
Others might not have seen what happened in the core region, but not Yue Weiwei.

As Lin Yun continued to search, he suddenly heard the sound of a flute.
The song was filled with sorrow, which instantly attracted Lin Yun’s attention.
“It’s her!”

Lin Yun previously felt that the top of the mountain was a forbidden ground and that his efforts to go there would be futile.
However, he could tell that Yue Weiwei’s music came from the top.

He instantly tossed all his hesitation aside and pushed his movement technique to the limit.
Charging towards the top of the mountain, he felt immense pressure.
It was so bad that he had to bring out his Azure Firmament Tree and wrap himself in a tornado.

“Go!” Lin Yun barked.
The tornado carried him up into the sky, helping him move a lot faster than before.
It didn’t take long for him to arrive at the top of the mountain.

Yue Weiwei was donned in her red dress on the platform at the top of the mountain.
She was playing her flute in front of a colossal dragon shrouded in purple lightning and flames.
The dragon was only a skeleton, but it was engraved with divine runes that were mysterious, golden, and ancient.

Perhaps it was because of the divine runes, but the lightning and flames looked like they could incinerate everything.
The dragon was extremely sinister as it emitted the pressure or a dao artifact that even a Heavenly Soul Realm expert would be fearful of.

At this moment, the dragon was struggling painfully under the flute music and roared incessantly.
Yue Weiwei wore a rare grave expression, which made her look even more demonic than usual.
She also had beads of sweat dripping down from her forehead.
Clearly, she was only barely able to suppress this dao artifact.

When the tornado tore the clouds apart, it created an earth-shattering commotion.
Yue Weiwei’s heart throbbed as she turned to look at the sound.
Due to this distraction, the dragon had an opportunity to break free.
With a violent roar, Yue Weiwei’s flute was disrupted and she suffered a backlash.
Although her face turned pale, the dragon charged towards her to harm her even more.

“Get lost!” Veins popped out on Lin Yun’s forehead as he became angry.
At this moment, he unleashed his Immortal Azure Dragon Sword Aura.
A terrifying sword aura emitted out from him with purple sword rays shooting out of his pores.
A thirty meters long azure dragon appeared behind him with a pair of dragon eyes that flickered like stars.

As his sword aura tore apart the clouds, Lin Yun clenched his fist and threw a punch out.
His punch caused the entire mountain to tremble violently.
At the same time, the purple dragon was also knocked backwards.

As sparks flew, the dragon was destroyed and the Indigoflame Thunderwhip fell onto the ground.
However, Lin Yun couldn’t be bothered with the whip right now and helped Yue Weiwei up.

“I knew you’d come for me even if everyone left.” Yue Weiwei revealed a smile on her pale face.
Initially, Lin Yun wanted to scold her, but he decided to shut up.

“Don’t be so silly in the future,” said Lin Yun coldly.

“No way!” Yue Weiwei said stubbornly with her pale face.

“I’ll be worried about you,” replied Lin Yun seriously.

When Yue Weiwei heard that, her expression loosened up and she smiled, “Then I will give it some consideration.”

I don’t want to hide my worries from her, but what’s with her reply? Lin Yun was genuinely concerned for her.
After all, he would be sad if anything happened to her.

Yue Weiwei peeked at Lin Yun carefully and smiled, “Big Brother Yun, pick up that dao artifact.
I’ll listen to you in the future.”

Lin Yun walked over and picked up the Indigoflame Thunderwhip that had been promoted to a dao artifact.
He realized that he couldn’t control it at all even with the great boost in his strength.

“Let’s go,” said Lin Yun after storing the Indigoflame Thunderwhip with great difficulty.
Then, grabbing hold of Yue Weiwei’s hand, he jumped off the mountain peak.
When Yue Weiwei turned around, the entire world was collapsing, so she tightened her grip on Lin Yun’s hand.
