The Prodigies War

Multiple huge cracks were strewn across the battlefield. The mountains had collapsed and many areas of vegetation were burned to ashes. There was devastation everywhere.

As an experienced investigator of the Windspeaker Clan, Bai Fengliu could immediately tell that an earth-shattering battle had taken place here.

“Hmph, kid, you might not want to reveal anything, but don’t think that I won’t know anything. There will be great clues remaining about you on this battlefield!”

He smiled, and his heart pounded with uncontrollable excitement at the thought that he was about to unearth news that would shake the world.

Shua!

Without any hesitation, he darted onto the battlefield and began his investigation.

He was extremely focused, meticulous, and committed.

One might have acquired knowledge earlier than others, but one might be a master of their own field. Other cultivators might be skilled in combat, crafting weapons, alchemy, taming animals and growing plants...

But the Windspeaker Clan’s talent was in discovering and spreading news!

Very quickly, Bai Fengliu discovered many clues about the battle. But it was harder and harder for him to remain calm and composed as more and more clues were found.

“Heavens! There are five different auras of five different half-step kings. Does this mean that there were five half-step kings fighting here?”

“The mountains and earth across the thousand-mile battlefield have collapsed. I’m certain that the battle was extremely fierce and lasted for quite a while...Damn! The combined strength of five half-step kings failed to kill that kid! Doesn’t that defy heaven?!”

“Hey, there are fragments of a king-level treasure! Also, there’s a broken blood-colored spear, a torn painted scroll and the remains of a shattered hammer… Were...they all destroyed?”

“No, no, only the remains of four half-step kings are on this battlefield. This suggests that one of the half-step kings managed to escape...”

Under the night, a slender old guy was jumping up and down the battlefield like a frog, yelling and exclaiming. It was a very comical scene.

However, Bai Fengliu himself didn’t realize this. His expression morphed indefinitely. His heart was brimming with shock and astonishment, and he almost lost control of his emotions.

For a long moment, he stood motionless. Finally, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and murmured, “If I spread the news of this battle, then the world will think that I’m crazy...it is just too unbelievable!”

After a longer moment, he regained his composure a little, and he decided that he would spread the news regardless of whether the world believed him or not!

That was the professional integrity of a descendant of the Windspeaker Clan.

“But how can I make the news more convincing?”

Bai Fengliu fell into deep thought, and finally, he gritted his teeth and took out a magical bright, golden leaf that looked like a palm-leaf fan.

It was a leaf of the Golden News Tree, an extremely precious and rare item. Even within the Windspeaker Clan, only a small number of people possessed one.

Generally speaking, the clansmen would only choose to inscribe a message on the leaf if they came across a piece of sensational news.

Gritting his teeth, Bai Fengliu made the decision, “Damn it! I’m going to go all out. This will determine my success or failure. When the sensational news hits the West Infinity World, I can justifiably ask the clan to ask for another leaf of the Golden News Tree!”

Then, he began to cast the magical technique. The golden leaf glowed brightly and projected a golden light screen where he began to write all the clues and details he found on the battlefield.

In his view, that was the only way that he could prove that the news wasn’t made up and make the world believe that the earth shaking bloody battle actually happened!

After completing that, he was in high spirits and looked forward to seeing everyone’s reaction.

He had a strong feeling that when the news spread, it would stir the West Infinity World like a tsunami!

A Heaven Ascension teenager faced off against five half-step kings of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan by himself and single-handedly killed four of them with overwhelming strength and allowed only one to escape!

Who among the younger generation of the West Infinity World would be able to achieve that?

Huh?

Suddenly, Bai Fengliu, whose imagination was running wild, felt his body freeze and his hair stand on end. A strong feeling of imminent danger enveloped him.

Immediately, he saw two old men in black robes coming his way.

Life Death Stage Kings!

He broke out in cold sweat, and his heart ran wildly with panic inside his chest. After traveling all over the world for years, he had developed a pair of extremely sharp eyes. From one glance, he knew that they were two king-level old monsters of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan!

It’s over…

A feeling of impending doom shrouded him at the thought that he was spreading negative news about the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

“Hmph! Those damn flies are everywhere.” Gou Yangtong snorted coldly, but his voice struck Bai Fengliu like a thunderbolt and sent him collapsing on his buttocks.

However, just as Bai Fengliu thought he was going to die, an indifferent voice sounded in his ears.

“Do me a favor and I will spare your life.” It was Gou Yangba’s voice.

Bai Fengliu frantically nodded. “Elder, please just tell me.”

“Spread the word that anyone who dares to slander the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan will pay with their lives.”

After saying that, the two strolled away and vanished without a trace.

Hiss!

Bai Fengliu inhaled sharply and paled. Does this mean that the two old monsters of the king stage are heading to eradicate Demon God Lin?

A second later, he was grinning from ear to ear. “My heavens! You are so kind to me! This great news will definitely help me rise to the top of the clan!”

The more he thought about it, the more excited and delighted he became. His face flushed, and he was almost quivering with excitement.

When dawn broke, he left the wilderness, flying at tremendous speed to a city of the West Infinity World.

On the same day, he hung the golden leaf on the trunk of an ancient news tree in the city.

Boom!

A marvelous scene followed shortly after that. Every news tree in the thousands of provinces and tens of thousands of cities in the entire West Infinity World was swaying and forming a golden leaf on their branches.

Within seconds, it attracted the attention of countless cultivators in the West Infinity World, and they all raced to check it out.

They all knew that the appearance of a leaf of the Golden News Tree from the Windspeaker Clan meant that something sensational had happened.

“The news is spreading, and I should watch the changing situation in the world!” Bai Fengliu, the instigator, couldn’t help laughing out loud.

……

Jewel Hawk Province, Green Water City.

Endless crowds gathered in front of the News Tree and bursts of exclamations erupted from time to time.

Everyone’s face was crossed with astonishment and shock.

Fang Linhan was among them. His handsome face that had a charming arrogance was overcast.

After a long moment, he grumbled, “Brother Lin, Brother Lin, I can’t believe that I treated you as a friend, but you never told me that you are actually Demon God Lin!”

Then, his face twisted strangely. “Everyone says that I, Fang Linhan, am arrogant and courageous, but compared to you, I know that I am considered nothing. At least, I’m not as arrogant and abnormal as you...”

More and more cultivators were coming from the distance, creating a very spectacular sight.

Fang Linhan’s expression turned unusually serious.

He realized that the news released from the Windspeaker Clan was no different from poking a hole into the sky. It immediately pushed Lin Xun to the tip of the wave!

“You must survive. If you don’t participate in the Dao Lantern Festival, it won’t be as splendid...” Fang Linhan murmured.

……

Floating Tooth Province, Billow Light City.

Yue Jianming was elegantly enjoying wine. His relaxed demeanor coupled with his pretty features added a gentle and lofty air to him and drew gazes from many people.

However, his mind was solely focused on the matter of traveling to Cangwu Mountain to take part in the Dao Lantern Festival.

Suddenly, a torrential uproar caught his attention.

“Breaking news! The golden leaf of the Windspeaker Clan appeared again! I heard it’s related to a young demon god called Lin Xun!”

Immediately, countless cultivators raced towards the center of the city like streaks of light.

Lin Xun?

Could it be him?

Yue Jianming’s heart fluttered and he swiftly stood up.

He stood motionless in front of the News Tree in the city for a long moment, unable to settle his swaying heart.

It is indeed him!

He couldn’t imagine that the young man he met in Ziniu Mountain had now possessed such tremendous influence and power!

“Demon God Lin… The amazing Demon God Lin! I knew I was right about you, but this surprise is still a little too much.”

Complicated emotions churned in his heart. “I have given you the token needed to participate in the Dao Lantern Festival. Now, whether or not you can come depends on yourself...”

……

The Great Tang Province, Chang’an City.

This was the core of the West Infinity World, and Chang’an City was regarded as the sacred cultivation city of the West Infinity World because three ancient sects were established and still standing in the city!

One of them was the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms, which was also known as the best sect in the West Infinity World.

In an inconspicuous blue chariot, a clear and pleasant voice sounded, “What is happening outside? Why is it so noisy?”

The person driving the chariot was an old woman. When she heard the question, she listened carefully for a moment before she replied. “A golden leaf has appeared on the News Tree in the city. Something huge must have happened.”

“Let’s go take a look.”

“Okay.”

Before long, the blue chariot stopped in front of the News Tree, and a graceful maiden in a black dress and cloak and a veil draped over her face stepped out of it.

“Why would it be him?”

She went stiff for a moment when she saw the light screen projected from the golden leaf hanging on the News Tree.
