The Prodigies War

After leaving the Cloud Weaver Clan, Ye Feiheng kept thinking back to what had just happened and felt increasingly lucky that the cold-blooded Demon God Lin had let him off!

Ye Feiheng felt as if he had died and then came back to life again.

Of course he had resentment, but it wasn’t toward Lin Xun.

“Xiang Shaoting, whatever your aim was, your clan nearly sent me to my grave early. This will not end here!” Ye Feiheng’s voice was icy. He then drifted away without sparing Xiang Shaoting another glance.

Ye Feiheng had even decided to find an opportunity to teach the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan a lesson, through which he would conveniently do the Cloud Weaver Clan a favor. He expected that Demon God Lin would appreciate it as well when he learned of it.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoting looked like his soul had wandered off.

Today, he had set out to the Cloud Weaver Clan to push for the marriage, thinking it would be a walk in the park with Ye Feiheng backing him up.

Who would have thought that it would come to this point?!

After returning to his clan, Xiang Shaoting didn’t dare to hide the matter. When the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan learned about this, there was instantly a clamor.

“What?! Demon God Lin?!”

“Impossible! The Cloud Weaver Clan has been in decline for many years! How were they able to latch onto a ruthless character like Demon God Lin?”

“It’s over... We offended not only Demon God Lin, but also the Ye Clan…”

Cries of alarm encased the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan in a bleak atmosphere.

Among them, only Patriarch Xiang Huazhen hadn’t said a word.

He hurriedly went to the clan’s forbidden area, where a guest was waiting.

“Senior, we’ve got bad news. Our plan…has failed,” reported Xiang Huazhen, his voice filled with bitterness and loss.

His guest, quietly sitting cross-legged, was an old man with a neat beard and hair and eyes like blazing suns. The news put a frown on his face.

“According to my plan, getting the Heavenly Star Feather Outfit from the Cloud Weaver Clan requires very little effort. What happened?” The old man’s voice was calm, but the uncontrollable anger in it was clear.

Xiang Huazhen’s heart trembled, and he hurriedly told the old man what had happened in detail.

“Lin Xun… Him again… He killed Yun Qingbai and ruined my grand plan, and now he’s preventing me from returning to my homeland!” A horrifying fire raged in the old man’s eyes, and, deep inside him, there was a murderous intent about to spin out of control.

If Meng Qiujing was still alive and seeing this right now, then he would definitely recognize this old man to be Quasi-Emperor Baqi, a terrifying existence from the Yin Star Sea in the Absolute Yin Ancient Domain.

“Damn the heavenly rules of this Ancient Wasteland Domain. I cannot make a move, or else I will draw the attention of those powerful characters once I expose my power.” Baqi sighed, his heart filled with unwillingness and hatred.

Last time, the grand plan that he had spent a hundred years of effort on was thwarted due to Yun Qingbai’s death. He had been so furious that he almost went berserk.

He loathed the culprit, Lin Xun, to the bone.

Now, he had been lying low in the Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan and plotting for the Cloud Weaver Clan’s Heavenly Star Feather Outfit, which was a treasure that could help him leave the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Who could have thought that his plan would be sabotaged by Lin Xun again?!

Even someone as calm and patient as Baqi was almost unable to control his emotions. It was simply intolerable to be thwarted twice in a row by a junior whose strength was no different from that of an ant’s to him.

“Senior, my clan has completely offended Demon God Lin and the Ye Clan to aid you… Can you intervene and help us resolve the situation?” asked Xiang Huazhen in a trembling voice.

This old man had suddenly appeared a month ago, saying that as long as he helped him do one thing, he would give their Golden Spectral Sparrow Clan an opportunity to change their destiny.

But to his horror, the plan had failed, and it even put their clan in a crisis.

“Stupid idiot, you ruined it and still dare to ask me to help? Who the hell do you think you are?!” said Baqi ruthlessly in a lofty, contemptuous manner.

Xiang Huazhen’s face instantly changed out of humiliation and rage.

“It’s you who did it, so it has nothing to do with me. It’s entirely your fault that your clan has fallen into such a situation.” Baqi dropped that parting remark and flew away.

“Senior, you can’t just leave like that!” yelped Xiang Huazhen anxiously. He wanted to chase after Baqi, but the latter had already vanished.

Xiang Huazhen completely broke down as the same thought that had come to his son’s mind also surfaced in his as well.

It’s over.

……

“Lin Xun… Lin Xun…” Baqi’s figure flickered as he traveled through the air. Before long, he saw the territory of the Cloud Weaver Clan in the distance. “Spoiling my plan twice… How can I just let you live? Perhaps only after killing you and slaughtering this Cloud Weaver Clan will I be able to obtain the Heavenly Star Feather Outfit.”

Baqi’s heart was burning with an unquenchable rage.

As someone who had one foot in the Emperor stage, not even Saints were worthy of his attention. And yet, he had suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of Lin Xun, who was only a young man of the longevity tribulation stage. He found this intolerable.

“If I can finish it before those people notice me, then I’ll have enough time to use the Heavenly Star Feather Outfit to leave…”

Baqi then silently calculated and envisioned his plan for a long time. Finally, a cold gleam flashed through his eyes as he made his decision.

Boom!

A terrifying force of spirit sense spread from him and flowed toward the Cloud Weaver Clan’s territory.

In an instant, he locked onto Lin Xun!

The latter was inside a palace, being warmly entertained by a group of Cloud Weaver experts. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone looked at him with respect.

This scene completely ignited the fury and hatred within Baqi.

“DIE!”

Although Baqi remained at the same spot extremely far away, his spirit sense carried a supreme power that belonged to a Quasi-Emperor as it formed a blade that soundlessly slashed at Lin Xun’s mind sea.

He was certain that Lin Xun wouldn’t even be able to react at all.

The difference between a seventh longevity cultivator and a Quasi-Emperor was more than that between earth and heaven!

The moment Baqi’s spirit sense came in contact with Lin Xun’s mind sea, however, a terrifying breath gently swept out.

Bang!

Baqi’s spirit sense blade exploded as if it had been struck by lightning.

Almost immediately after, that terrifying breath traced along Baqi’s spirit sense and surged toward him.

“Damn it! What’s going on?!” Baqi’s expression drastically changed. He forcefully withdrew his spirit sense and resisted with all his might.

Boom!

He managed to block that terrifying breath, but felt a biting pain piercing his soul that caused him to tremble and grunt.

“A Quasi-Emperor, trying a despicable sneak attack on a junior. Have you no shame?” resounded a clear, cold, and misty voice in Baqi’s head.

Along with the voice was a thunderous noise as the terrifying breath once again attacked.

“Humph!” Baqi instantly sensed the threat and decided to break away.

In a flash, he was already tens of thousands of miles away. Sensing that the terrifying breath did not give chase, he couldn’t help but feel a burst of relief.

Immediately, his face became overcast again. What’s going on? How could there be such a terrifying character accompanying that ant?

“Damn it!” cursed Baqi, who had no other way to vent his anger.

He suddenly realized that whenever he came across anything that involved Lin Xun, he became extremely unlucky. Lin Xun was like his fated enemy who was born to restrain him.

The feeling was suffocating!

Suddenly, the sky above Baqi rumbled with waves of Law Power, as if the heavenly order had been triggered.

Baqi’s blood ran cold, knowing that his power had leaked out during the attack just now and alerted the heavenly order of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

“I can’t stay here!” Without hesitation, he flew off.

“Fellow Daoist, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

“What fellow? He obviously doesn’t belong to our Ancient Wasteland Domain. After him!”

“Damn it, when did such a big fish sneak into the Ancient Wasteland Domain? Is there a traitor in the frontline battlefield?”

“Cut the nonsense and give chase!”

A series of grand and majestic voices rang out as if the gods in heaven were talking to each other.

Then, it abruptly returned to silence.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

In the violet palace of the Cloud Weaver Clan, Lin Xun was drinking and chatting with a Cloud Weaver dignitary who had come to toast.

Earlier, for just a split moment, he had felt a palpitating feeling, but it had disappeared before he could carefully sense it.

Only after making sure that nothing unusual had happened did he calm down.

However, the mysterious woman in the Omega Secret-Realm in his mind sea knew that if it hadn’t been for her timely intervention, Lin Xun would have suffered.

“A Quasi-Emperor from the outer domains… Interesting… Let’s see if he can escape from those characters…” the mysterious woman pondered briefly before closing her eyes again.

After the banquet, Lin Xun took out a bronze box that was sealed with dense, complicated runes and presented it to Lan Qinghen. “Senior, this is given to me by Mister Miaoxuan of the Divine Apparatus Pavilion. He said that I’d only need to present this item to get your help.”

Immediately, all the eyes in the great hall were attracted to the box.

“Can it be…” Some high-ranking dignitaries were emotional as they seemed to have guessed what it was.

Even Lan Qinghen was in a daze, as if she hadn’t expected that there would be a day this object would return to her clan.

Only after a long time did she take a deep breath and accept it.

“Many thanks,” she said and carefully put the box away.

“Matriarch, is it really…” someone asked.

Lan Qinghen nodded. Immediately, all the Cloud Weaver Clan’s dignitaries became so excited that their breathing quickened.

The object inside the bronze box seemed to be of great significance to them.

“If you had taken it out at the beginning, then our clan would have been obligated to help no matter how difficult your request was.” Lan Qinghen gazed at Lin Xun with a complicated expression.

She didn’t expect that this item would return to the clan through Lin Xun. Recalling how she had initially treated him, she felt a pang of shame.

“Caicai and I are friends, so unless necessary, I wouldn’t bring external objects into our exchange.” Lin Xun smiled.

Hearing this, everyone was moved. They inwardly sighed and looked at Lin Xun with cordiality and indescribable respect.
