Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 341: Sacred Fire Imperial Court

In the air, Lin Fengmian and Jun Lingtian stood facing each other, their auras intertwined.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian reacted by furrowing his brows and asking, “Was the Holy Emperor deliberately forcing me to act?”

Jun Lingtian looked at Lin Fengmian, the corner of his mouth curling upward as he replied, “What do you think?”

Lin Fengmian solemnly replied, “I think so.”

Jun Lingtian laughed nonchalantly, “Then that’s probably the case.”

“Weren’t you afraid that I wouldn’t act? If I didn’t, Jun Fengya would have died,” Lin Fengmian said, still frowning.

“But you did act, didn’t you? I always have a good read on people,” Jun Lingtian said, his smile carrying deep meaning.

Lin Fengmian fell silent, not only irritated by Jun Lingtian’s indifferent attitude towards life, but also frustrated by how constantly he felt manipulated by him.

Jun Lingtian gave off an impression of being unfathomable, not only the pressure from his strength, but also an intangible weight from his seemingly perfect strategies.

Lin Fengmian slowly lifted his Zhenyuan and asked, “I wonder if the Holy Emperor has already chosen an heir. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance.”

Jun Lingtian was unperturbed and smiled casually, “If you win, you can choose for me, or if you want, you can even take the position yourself.”

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and said, “In that case, let’s start. I won’t hold back.”

A flash of killing intent flickered in Jun Lingtian’s eyes as he said, “That’s how it should be. You don’t think this emperor will show mercy, do you?”

“A swordsman should speak with the sword in his hand – that’s the least amount of respect!”

“Exactly what I want!”

After Lin Fengmian spoke, he immediately unleashed his Evil God Domain. The black mist quickly spread out and engulfed the surroundings.

Thanks to the selfless support of the Junyan Clan, Lin Fengmian’s domain had already reached over eight hundred zhang.

The sky was darkened by a vast expanse of black clouds, overshadowing the entire Sacred Emperor’s Palace. The black mist rolled relentlessly, carrying with it a sense of an impending storm.

Below, the civil and military officials realized that their divine consciousness could not penetrate Lin Fengmian’s domain, and they were left in the dark about what was happening inside.

Of course, this was because Lin Fengmian was afraid that others would recognize Qionghua’s techniques and cause unnecessary trouble for Luo Xue.

At the same time, Lin Fengmian released his aura without restraint, and the overwhelming pressure of a Half-Step Saint level presence engulfed the area.

Upon sensing this aura, the officials below were immediately in an uproar, and their expressions all changed slightly.

“Half-Step Saint level?”

“It hasn’t been long, but Ye Xuefeng has already reached the level of a Half-Step Saint. What a terrifying speed.”

“My God, is this really a heavenly being descending to experience the mortal world?”

Some people expressed concern, saying, “His Majesty won’t be in danger, will he?”

Jun Chengye’s face darkened as he growled, “Shut up, my father will definitely not lose!”

…

Jun Lingtian allowed himself to fall into Lin Fengmian’s domain and smiled slightly. “Half-Step Saint? Did my Third Brother give you a top-grade Void Ascension Pill?”

Lin Fengmian retorted, “Why are you so sure that it was him who gave it to me?”

Jun Lingtian laughed heartily. “Who else but him would want me dead, but wouldn’t dare to make a move himself?”

Lin Fengmian frowned. “Why is that?”

Although he also suspected that Jun Aoshi had sent him the top-grade Void Ascension Pill with less than innocent intentions, he believed more strongly that Jun Aoshi was involved in getting the Void Breaking Pill into his hands.

But he still couldn’t understand Jun Aoshi’s purpose.

Was it to fish in troubled waters, intending to seize the throne and the Honored Position for himself?

Or was it a simple case of using him as a tool to kill Jun Lingtian, avenging the grudge of his women being taken away?

Jun Lingtian smiled. “When you win, you’ll understand of course. But for now, let’s see who really has the upper hand!”

“Otherwise, we’d just be standing here chatting while we’re about to fight. How sore would everyone’s necks be down below?”

Lin Fengmian hadn’t expected this guy to make jokes. It made him both amused and annoyed.

“Then as you wish!”

He tightly gripped Zhenyuan and thrust his sword downward, shouting, “Sword Stream!”

Endless sword light surged from his blade, accompanied by a tremendous thunderous roar as it hurtled toward Jun Lingtian, resembling a massive galaxy pouring downward.

Jun Lingtian looked at the sword stream cascading down like an inverted waterfall of the Milky Way, and couldn’t help but chuckle. “You’re clearly a Blade Dao expert, yet you still use a sword?”

He casually raised his hand, and the sword intent shot into the sky, coalescing into a massive sword that tore through the sword river Lin Fengmian had unleashed as if ripping apart fabric.

The massive sword continued its onslaught. Even under the suppression of Lin Fengmian’s domain, its momentum was unstoppable as it thrust directly toward him.

Lin Fengmian stepped forward and immediately transformed into a series of black smoke, disappearing from his original position and evading the strike.

He suddenly reappeared behind Jun Lingtian, gathering all his strength before swiftly tossing his hand forward and shouting, “One sword, decide the heavens and the earth!”

Zhenyuan turned into a brilliant streak of light, falling like a star about to crash and heading straight for Jun Lingtian.

Jun Lingtian stood his ground, preparing to shift and dodge the attack.

Lin Fengmian’s eyes flashed coldly, and he coldly shouted, “Thunder Prison!”

A barrage of heavenly lightning descended, trapping Jun Lingtian in place.

Although he was momentarily startled, Jun Lingtian remained calm. Golden flames erupted from his body, breaking through the sky full of lightning.

With a casual swing of his sword, he easily cleaved through Zhenyuan’s relentless assault, sending it flying effortlessly.

Zhenyuan vanished into the black mist before reappearing from the void next to Lin Fengmian, landing back in his hand.

Jun Lingtian smiled faintly. “This domain is interesting.”

Lin Fengmian said in a low voice, “The most interesting part is yet to come!”

“Void Split Slash!”

He slashed his sword, causing the entire domain to violently shift as if time and space were being distorted.

The space around Jun Lingtian began to tremble, cracks appearing and pulling him towards the void.

For the first time, Jun Lingtian’s expression changed slightly. He felt as if this strange spatial force was trying to tear him apart.

He could no longer underestimate Lin Fengmian. With a sharp cry, he twirled his sword, attempting to tear the space rifts apart.

However, these rifts were incredibly tough, continuing to widen, and their pull became stronger.

At the same time, Lin Fengmian transformed into dozens of afterimages, wielding his sword from all directions in a flurry of attacks.

Jun Lingtian’s eyes narrowed, and with both hands on his sword, he thrust it forward, speaking coldly, “Sacred Fire Imperial Court!”

Flames of intense heat swirled around the emperor’s sword, as if he were holding a blazing fire in his hands.

Golden flames rose from his body and then rapidly expanded outward from him, with him as the center.

The terrifying golden flames seemed to burn everything in their path, turning everything they touched into pure spiritual energy.

Under this searing heat, the space rifts created by the Void Split Slash were quickly erased, as if they had never existed.

Brilliant golden light spread out in all directions, quickly illuminating the darkness of Lin Fengmian’s Evil God domain.

The green glazed tiles and blue stone bricks all turned golden, and the entire Junlin City was bathed in a golden glow.

The once slightly dim Junlin City now glowed under the golden holy light, resembling a golden city from a dream.

The citizens of the city looked toward the palace in confusion, gazing at the radiant figure of the Holy Emperor, yet the blinding light made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

The younger generation was stunned and exclaimed, “What’s going on? Is there another sun in the sky?”

The older generation gasped and said, “That’s the Sacred Fire Imperial Court domain of His Majesty the Holy Emperor!

“Is His Majesty fighting someone?”
