The Prodigies War

Suddenly, Zhen Yunfeng’s eyes flashed like cold lightning as he swept them over Ji Xingyao and the others. “Even if Lin Xun is still alive, he can’t rescue you all. Don’t forget that Kongzhe Mountain has already been surrounded by forces of Underworld.”

The faces of Ji Xingyao and the others paled a little.

According to Zhen Yunfeng, a total of four divine warriors and eight guardians of Underworld had been dispatched. The lineup was enough to induce fear in anyone.

Those who could become a divine warrior of Underworld had to be a fierce character who had passed the third longevity tribulation.

For example, Zhen Yunfeng was an ancient-era eccentric genius from the North God Holy District, a hidden holy land. He was now one of the twelve divine warriors of Underworld.

The guardians of Underworld might be a little below the divine guardians in terms of strength, but they were still all Supreme Kings who had survived a longevity tribulation. Their strengths must not be underestimated!

It was not an exaggeration to say that the combined power of the besiegers was enough to bring despair to the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms.

And Lin Xun…even if he was alive, he was alone. Could his appearance change the situation on Kongzhe Mountain?

This thought extinguished the glimmer of hope that rose in the hearts of Ji Xingyao and others and their hearts sank to the bottom.

Zhen Yunfeng completely regained his composure as he took in everyone’s reaction and changed expression. He could not help but sneer coldly in his heart. Do you want to go against Underworld?

You are just hitting a rock with an egg!

“Let’s go and see if it is indeed Lin Xun!” Zhen Yunfeng turned around and walked away.

Yin Xue quickly followed.

Ji Xingyao and Mo Tianhe turned to look at each other and sighed inwardly.

“Let’s also go and take a look. If it really is Lin Xun then we must urge him to leave quickly. We should not drag him into the problems of our Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms,” Mo Tianhe said in a low voice.

Ji Xingyao nodded.

The news that Lin Xun was still alive was something worth celebrating but now, Ji Xingyao could not even smile.

……

Kongzhe Mountain stood thousands of feet tall with steep and jagged cliffs.

At this moment, Lin Xun was at the foot of the mountain, studying Kongzhe Mountain. He suddenly said aloud, “Tell me, what did you guys come here for?”

“Uh.” Zhan Luxiu faltered, his expression changing.

Back when they were at the Underworld River, Lin Xun had gifted him and Yin Xue an Origin Dao Fire each, which he was very grateful for.

Now, he could not face Lin Xun.

“Many experts are hiding around here, and I can feel that they are reacting with hostility towards my arrival.” Lin Xun stared at Zhan Luxiu with dark, unfathomable eyes.

His spirit was frighteningly strong and allowed him to instantly capture many abnormalities in the nearby area.

“Brother Lin, listen to me, it’s better for you to leave here as soon as possible. Times are different now. There are many things you don’t know.” Zhan Luxiu bowed his head in shame, avoiding Lin Xun’s gaze.

He found it too embarrassing and shameful to mention to Lin Xun that Zhen Yunfeng had submitted to Underworld.

“Move aside.” The ray of cold light shot from Lin Xun’s eyes made Zhan Luxiu shudder.

He frantically persuaded, “Brother Lin, don’t do anything recklessly. Kongzhe Mountain has already been surrounded. If you head there now, it will be difficult to avoid dangers.”

After saying that, his heart jolted and a terrible feeling came to him. He looked up to see that Lin Xun’s expression had turned ice-cold.

“Because of our former friendship, I will let you off. Now, get out of my way!” Lin Xun’s voice was calm, but deterrent power seemed to be rushing out from him, which made Zhan Luxiu tremble and subconsciously get out of his way.

A thunder-like roar boomed out, “You have guts!”

Following the voice, a figure charged out, its body blazing like flames and emitting an incredibly violent aura.

It was a youngster clad in a fire robe and with a menacing face.

Zhan Luxiu’s expression drastically changed as he cried out, “Guardian Xue Feng, please stop!”

Xue Feng, one of the thirty-six guardians of Underworld, was a top figure from the Snow Spirit Fire Hawk Clan. He was feared for his bloodthirsty nature and ruthless means and strength of the longevity second tribulation.

“Who are you? Are you qualified to order me around?”

Xue Feng’s voice was chilling. Paying no attention to Zhan Luxiu, he aimed a blade-like palm strike straight at Lin Xun.

But Lin Xun vanished into thin air.

Huh?

Xue Feng was taken aback.

Crack!

A huge hand thrust towards him from behind it and crushed his neck. He died on the spot.

Zhan Luxiu stood there, dumbstruck.

He only saw Lin Xun flash into the air before Xue Feng was crushed to death in the grip of his hand. From the beginning to the end, Xue Feng had no time to react!

He did it so effortlessly as if he was crushing an ant.

When Zhan Luxiu looked at Lin Xun again, his gaze completely changed.

A Supreme King who passed the longevity second tribulation was instantly obliterated at Lin Xun’s hand.

“Whoa!”

“What ruthless means!”

“It seems like he is the real Demon God Lin. Surprisingly, he is still alive.”

There was a clamor in all directions.

Figures emerged from the shadows, and there were at least dozens of people.

Every one of them had a powerful aura around them.

In particular, there were two men and a woman who led the group. Their presence made the sky change color, the ground quake, and the air whimper.

The three were Underworld divine warriors and possessed strength of at least at the level of the third longevity tribulation!

In addition to them, the others also must not be underestimated.

It could be said that the group of experts could instill fear in any sect or clan in the entire Mythic Fire Realm.

As soon as they appeared, they locked their eyes on Lin Xun, with looks of surprise, bewilderment, and cold intent.

In fact, they had recognized Lin Xun as soon as he appeared. Despite that, they could not believe that the youngster who was supposed to be dead four years ago would still be alive.

Unbelievable!

But when they saw Lin Xun kill Xue Feng with one blow, they finally concluded that the youngster was indeed Demon God Lin!

Only he would have such courage to act without any fear of consequences in front of them!

“Haha, interesting, a dead man has appeared four years later. Lin Xun, would you share with us where you have been hiding like a turtle in the past four years?” The woman leader chuckled softly.

She was wearing a colorful dress that complemented her charming and alluring face. She had fair, delicate skin and coquettish, lustrous eyes.

She was Yu Liangyin, an ancient-era eccentric genius who was not inferior to Zhen Yunfeng in any aspect and also a murderous demoness.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Hiding like a turtle!

Good choice of words!

Zhan Luxiu’s face clouded over with worry, but when he looked over at Lin Xun, to his surprise, Lin Xun did not even glance at Yu Liangyin and the others.

As though, he completely disregarded their presence.

“Zhan Luxiu, now, can you tell me what is going on?” Lin Xun’s voice grew increasingly cold.

Zhan Luxiu gulped several times before he built up the courage to speak, but then a hearty laugh echoed above Kongzhe Mountain.

“Hahaha, it is indeed Brother Lin! This is really unexpected.”

Zhen Yunfeng appeared in the air, looking down from a height with a smile on his face, but his eyes were brazenly scanning Lin Xun up and down.

Standing beside him, Yin Xue looked very awkward and uncomfortable and did not dare to meet Lin Xun’s gaze.

Like Zhan Luxiu, she felt ashamed and could not face Lin Xun.

“I also didn’t expect to see you all on the territory of Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms today,” Lin Xun said expressionlessly.

Back when they were at the Underworld River, Zhen Yunfeng had already repeatedly disappointed Lin Xun, but Lin Xun did not make a huge fuss about it because everyone had their own ambitions and he could not demand someone else to be of one mind with him.

But now, Zhen Yunfeng was taking part in the operation of besieging Kongzhe Mountain. Even if he was not the mastermind, he played an important role in it.

Lin Xun despised that.

“Whether or not you expected it, it is true. We came here to discuss an important matter with the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms. If Brother Lin is interested, why don’t you also stay behind and listen in?”

Zhen Yunfeng smiled, seemingly at ease.

Four years ago, he would not dare to talk to Lin Xun like that.

Things changed with time. Everything had become different!

A clear and cold voice sounded, “Lin Xun, stop listening to his nonsense and quickly run! Zhen Yunfeng has become Underworld Son’s lackey. He is here to annex the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms!”

Then, Lin Xun saw Ji Xingyao. She was as beautiful as always, like a fairy from a painting.

However, her face was distorted with anger, hatred, worry and other negative expressions.

At the same time, Mo Tianhe and other Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms disciples appeared one after another.

With his intention exposed, Zhen Yunfeng scrunched his brows, but then he shrugged.

In his opinion, Lin Xun’s arrival would not change anything.

He was even a little excited at the thought that he could capture Lin Xun and present him to Underworld Son, earning himself huge praises!

“I understand…”

Only then did realization struck Lin Xun, and when he looked at Zhen Yunfeng and the others again, his gaze had become chilling and unfathomable.

“After not seeing each other in four years, I now see Fellow Daoist Zhen in a different light,” Lin Xun stated indifferently.

Zhen Yunfeng chuckled, “People change. Didn’t we all come to the Supreme Realm to seek a huge change in our cultivation?”

“No, I mean you have changed, you have become too shameless and despicable.”

Zhen Yunfeng’s face darkened and killing intent swirled in his eyes.

“Why are you even talking to him? Quickly leave!” Ji Xingyao’s face scrunched up with worry.

“Leave? Is that possible?” Zhen Yunfeng snickered. “Since you’re here, don’t go so soon. We haven’t seen you for four years. I’m sure Lord Underworld Son will also be surprised to see you.”

At the foot of the mountain, Yu Liangyin and others could not help smiling as though victory was within their grasp.

They came to take over the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms so it was indeed an unexpected surprise to run into Lin Xun, who had vanished for four years.

They all knew that this person was always in Lord Underworld Son’s mind.

To Lin Xun’s surprise, Zhan Luxiu and Yin Xue were sending voice transmissions to him and repeatedly urging him to leave in a worried voice.

This made Lin Xun understand that while Zhen Yunfeng had completely changed, at least Zhan Luxiu and Yin Xue still had a conscience.

With this thought, Lin Xun made a decision. Sweeping a glance over the area, he said aloud, “I don’t care whether Underworld Son is surprised or not. Since I’m here, I have no intention of leaving.”
