The Prodigies War

“So you all already know,” said Caicai in a low voice. The young girl was as pure as paper, so everyone could tell how she was feeling even when she tried her best to suppress her emotions.

“Don’t be sad, Caicai. You still have us,” said Toady hurriedly as he inwardly scolded his blabbering mouth for saying the wrong thing.

Caicai took a deep breath, and there was a determined look on her face as she said, “If I can help our clan to resolve this great crisis, then what’s the deal in getting married off?”

Hearing this, Lin Xun was moved.

He still remembered that time in the Burning Immortal Realm, when this beautiful young girl had said with a longing face how she wanted to pick the essence of all auspicious clouds in all worlds to weave her own wedding dress.

She had also wished to harvest ten thousand kinds of haze spirit dews and personally brew the best wine ever existed, so that she could invite her friends to savor it at her wedding banquet.

This was the path she had sought, the vision she had dreamed of.

But now, for her to accept such a thing was no different from cutting off her own path and abandoning herself!

“Don’t worry, things haven’t come to this yet. Toady is right, now that we’re here, we definitely won’t let you do what you don’t want to do,” Zhao Jingxuan softly consoled Caicai. Whoever met this young girl would feel compassion for her as she had a beauty that was untouched by the world, pure and innocent.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jingxuan glanced at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun immediately straightened up and nodded. “That’s right, just leave this to me.”

Zhao Jingxuan revealed a sweet smile and whispered to Caicai, “See, lil’ sis, someone is backing you up.”

Caicai worriedly said, “But…but my mother said that the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan is terrifying…”

Toady laughed, “What Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan? They’re just a bunch of little yellow birds. Don’t you trust us?”

Caicai hurriedly shook her head. She was so touched that she didn’t know what to say.

……

Early the next morning.

Lin Xun woke up from his meditation. In the five acupoints near his heart chakra, he had managed to produce five sword qi.

Each acupoint was like a sword-nurturing furnace that would refine and nurture the sword qi with the Taixuan quintessence. From then on, the sword qi would only take time to be slowly hammered into sword lights, sword intents, sword souls, and finally sword spirits!

Lin Xun silently calculated, “It will take almost half a year to open up three thousand sword furnaces and produce three thousand sword qi…”

Suddenly, there was a distant clamor outside.

Lin Xun frowned and leapt up.

Toady, Zhao Jingxuan, and Caicai were also alerted and left the room.

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, Lan Yan hurriedly arrived with a shocked and angry expression. “It’s bad! That young master of the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan, Xiang Shaoting, has come in person. He even brought along an old King monster of the Ye Clan called Ye Feiheng, saying that he wants Ye Feiheng to be the matchmaker!”

“What?!” Caicai trembled, her face turning pale.

“They’re waving the Ye Clan’s flag to force a marriage!” Toady instantly understood.

Lin Xun frowned and said, “Jingxuan, you look after Caicai. Toady and I will go take a look.”

Zhao Jingxuan nodded.

Lin Xun, Toady, and Lan Yan then flew out.

“Damn it! Just yesterday, their messenger agreed to give us three days to think about it, but here they are now! Intolerable!” said Lan Yan on the way, so furious his teeth were clacking.

“Don’t worry, they came just in time. We can use this opportunity to settle this matter once and for all,” said Toady confidently.

Lan Yan smiled helplessly. He didn’t even know where Toady got his confidence from when the other party was a powerful character from the Ye Clan!

Lin Xun didn’t say anything. At this point, even he was disgusted by the arrogance of the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan.

However, he was also puzzled as to why they were in such a hurry such that they couldn’t even wait three days.

Because of the Heavenly Star Feather Outfit?

When Lin Xun’s group arrived, there was already a crowd in front of the violet palace, most of them from the Cloud Weaver Clan.

Whether they were men or women, old or young, they all looked angry.

Not far away, there was a group of people standing in the air. Their leaders were a golden-robed young man with narrow cheeks and sharp eyes and a white-haired, dignified-looking old man with his hands crossed behind his back.

Behind the two was a group of escorts that looked all high and mighty. Despite facing the resentful and furious gazes of the Cloud Weaver clansmen, they appeared calm and fearless, with their noses in the air.

Without even having to guess, Lin Xun could tell that the golden-robed man was the young master of the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan, Xiang Shaoting. The black-robed old man next to him was undoubtedly the King stage monster Ye Feiheng from the Ye Clan of Crape Myrtle Mountain.

The Cloud Weaver Clan’s matriarch and a group of dignitaries all stood in front of the violet palace, their expressions unsightly.

Xiang Shaoting didn’t take this seriously at all and looked quite confident. He said to Ye Feiheng, “Thank you for coming here with me, Senior.”

“Hahahaha, how could this old man refuse such a good deed?” Ye Feiheng laughed loudly. “What’s more, your younger sister is already engaged to our young master. We’re not outsiders, so there’s no need to be so polite.”

Xiang Shaoting also laughed and looked smugly at the Cloud Weaver clansmen.

With the great Ye Clan backing me up, let’s see if you still dare to refuse!

“You must be the matriarch of the Cloud Weaver Clan, Fellow Daoist Lan Qinghen?” Ye Feiheng’s expression was solemn as he looked at the violet-robed woman.

“It is this humble one.” Lan Qinghen bowed slightly as she suppressed the rage in her heart.

There was no other choice as the situation was not up to her!

“This time, I would like to act as a matchmaker for once and set up a marriage. I hope that you will fulfill this wish of mine.”

Ye Feiheng didn’t bother with pleasantries and cut right to the chase in an overbearing manner. It was easy to see that he didn’t take the Cloud Weaver Clan’s matriarch seriously at all…because he came from the Ye Clan!

In his impression, even though the Cloud Weaver Clan was mysterious, its combined prowess was a world below the Ye Clan.

As soon as Ye Feiheng’s words echoed, the area fell silent and their atmosphere seemed to freeze.

The face of every Cloud Weaver clansman was filled with rage. To go to such an extent to force a marriage, the other party was utterly looking down on them!

Even Matriarch Lan Qinghen couldn’t hide her rage and humiliation at this point. She took a deep breath and said, “This is an important matter; I think we should consider it more seriously.”

Ye Feiheng’s face sank. He coldly grunted, “You think this old man isn’t qualified enough to be your matchmaker?”

The threat was obvious.

Xiang Shaoting couldn’t help but laugh smugly. He crossed his arms and said, “It’s just a marriage, so what’s there to even consider? Just let Caicai bring the dowry we’ve agreed on and marry her to us.”

“You…!” shouted a Cloud Weaver dignitary in rage. He wanted to disregard everything and rushed out, but was stopped by his clansmen.

“What dowry?” Lin Xun asked through voice transmission.

“The Heavenly Star Feather Outfit!” Lan Yan gritted his teeth, every word seething with hatred.

“Requiring a magical Saint Treasure as a dowry, this Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan is truly delusional…” Lin Xun’s eyes turned cold.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoting laughed like the Cloud Weaver Clan was already in his hands. “Since you know that you can’t refuse, why are you so angry? Don’t tell me your clan doesn’t want to give Senior Ye Feiheng face?”

Lan Qinghen softly sighed, “This really cannot be discussed any further?”

Ye Feiheng pretended to be puzzled, “A marriage between two young people is a most joyous event for both clans. Why are you making this so difficult?”

Lan Qinghen’s heart sank to the bottom, knowing that if she refused again, it would be the same as making a complete enemy of the Ye Clan.

“Matriarch, you must not agree!” All of the Cloud Weaver clansmen present had expressions of grief and indignation.

“Hmph, what do you know? Marrying into my clan is a blessing you couldn’t even ask for in eight lifetimes!” Xiang Shaoting snorted. This Cloud Weaver Clan still doesn’t know what’s good for them, so they need to be taught a good lesson!

“A blessing? More like a blight!” Toady could no longer hold back. He coldly laughed, “Look at your dog face. So disgusting that I just want to vomit. I advise you to hurry up and cut your own neck.”

The whole scene instantly went silent.

All eyes turned toward Lin Xun and Toady in unison. Everyone was in utter shock, unable to believe what they had just heard.

“Insolent!”

“You’re seeking death!”

“How dare you humiliate our young master?!”

Xiang Shaoting’s escorts all clamored as their faces darkened in anger.

“Boss, I can’t take this anymore,” said Toady expressionlessly as the rage in his heart was becoming uncontrollable.

“What do you plan on doing then?” asked Lin Xun.

“So I believe there’s no need to endure!” Toady’s handsome face instantly revealed a ferocious smile.

“Don’t!” shouted Lan Qinghen as she seemed to realize something.

Swish!

Unfortunately, she was a step too late. Everyone only saw a blur as Toady had already vanished.

Xiang Shaoting had over ten escorts, but they were all useless as the strongest among them was only a half-step King.

In front of a Supreme King like Toady, they were no different than a group of ants.

Poof poof poof!

Blood splashed in the air as Toady slapped the escorts in succession. They instantly exploded and turned into fine ash.

“What a bunch of trash. Don’t you know that a King cannot be insulted? This King has never seen someone so eager to seek death,” mumbled Toady.

Meanwhile, the bloody scene had the crowd gasping nonstop.

Too ferocious!

Striking out at the drop of a hat, killing people as easily as patting the dust off his clothes!
