The Prodigies War

Xie Yutang paid no attention to the odd looks he was receiving, nor was he afraid of Lin Xun's cold and murderous gaze.

Xie Yutang walked forward as he softly sighed and said, "Lin Xun, although you wanted to sever ties with me, I can’t do the same and turn a blind eye to your conduct. After all, we’re from the same place, and I naturally will not stand by and watch you willfully offend people you shouldn’t offend."

This was when many heaven prides realized that Xie Yutang was also from the lower plane like Lin Xun.

"Lin Xun, it will be best if you take a step back and apologize to Young Master Yu and Miss Ji. Others might not know you well, but how can I not be familiar with you?"

Xie Yutang looked as if he was seriously giving consideration to Lin Xun’s situation.

But the more he did this, the more disgusted Lin Xun felt. He knew that Xie Yutang was definitely up to no good.

However, he did wonder why Xie Yutang repeatedly tried to make his life difficult even though he had never offended the latter.

Due to this, Lin Xun restrained his murderous impulse and did not immediately attack Xie Yutang, wanting to see what exactly this guy was up to.

He’s familiar with Demon God Lin?

The heaven prides present pricked their ears in curiosity.

Demon God Lin had rapidly risen to fame in a few months and shook the West Infinity World. In a single leap, he became a supreme heaven pride known by almost everyone under the sky.

His rise was too quick like a comet suddenly appearing in the sky. Some initially suspected he would not live up to his name. Still, he ultimately proved that he did possess the qualification to back himself up and was absolutely worthy of the title: supreme heaven pride.

However, his origins and background were still a mystery that no one had a clear answer to.

Hence, the topic was naturally intriguing.

An unknown youngster from the lower plane suddenly made a name for himself among the many talented heaven prides of the West Infinity World. In less than half a year, he became famous throughout the West Infinity World and was acknowledged to be a supreme heaven pride. It was an incredible and unbelievable feat that seemed like a miracle.

Under the attention of the crowd, Xie Yutang felt increasingly pleased although he still made sure to maintain a serious expression.

He looked at Lin Xun and said, "Years ago, you were merely a country bumpkin from some remote little village with average aptitude. You even struggled to kill wild beasts. If not for my help back then, you would probably not have survived until today."

The crowd’s eyes widened slightly.

Had this guy actually saved Demon God Lin’s life before?

The crowd couldn't help but look toward Lin Xun, only to find that his expression was cold and unfazed without any hint of emotional fluctuation.

Lin Xun asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Are you still unable to understand?" Xie Yutang frowned. "Do you really believe that obtaining a great blessing from one of the four ancient dao dominions, the Return Dominion, will allow you to be above the law and do as you please?"

At this point, he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh right, that’s not all. Is your most trustworthy trump card the Saint treasure obtained from the Return Dominion? But don't forget that this is the Ancient Wasteland Domain. It is filled with many capable individuals and powerful experts here are as numerous as trees in the forest. Even though you possess a great blessing and a Saint treasure, you will still draw disaster to yourself if you don’t know how to restrain yourself!"

Every word of the speech powerfully resonated with conviction.

However, everyone’s expressions changed and they began to look at Lin Xun in a different light.

The Return Dominion!

It was one of the four ancient dao dominions, which were the most mysterious and unknown places in the world. They were rumored to contain ancient secret treasures that even Saint experts go crazy for.

To think that Demon God Lin had once entered the Return Dominion!

Moreover, according to Xie Yutang, Demon God Lin had not only entered the Return Dominion but also obtained a great blessing and a Saint treasure!

The experts immediately recalled a certain rumor about Demon God Lin, claiming that his meteoric rise in this West Infinity World was due to the great blessing he had obtained and the Saint treasure he owned.

Could that rumor be true?

The entire place was silent as various thoughts swirled in everyone’s heads.

Even the supreme heaven prides such as Yu Lingkong, Ji Xingyao, Mu Jianting, and Lei Qianjun felt somewhat peculiar and began to look at Lin Xun in a different manner.

Desire!

In that instant, Lin Xun felt the burning desire in several experts’ eyes. They were looking at him as if he was a peerless treasure trove.

He finally understood why Xie Yutang had jumped out at such a time. It was to provoke the herd and point all their sights onto him!

"He should be put to death!" In the distance, Bai Lingxi also sensed the change in the atmosphere. Her expression could not help but change slightly as she was filled with anger.

Xie Yutang had done it on purpose!

His seemingly pompous speech had in truth harbored evil intentions. He wanted to make everyone see Lin Xun as prey!

"Are you done?" Lin Xun black abyss-like eyes gleamed coldly. He could no longer forgive Xie Yutang.

"Why, are you still refusing to change your ways? Has my good advice failed to bring out even a sliver of repentance in you?" Xie Yutang appeared unhappy, but he was actually very pleased by the development.

His goal has been achieved. From now on, Lin Xun would be accompanied by endless troubles wherever he went.

"Who do you think you are to bark in front of me?"

Boom! Lin Xun stepped forward as a mighty pressure erupted from his body. It made everyone’s heart shiver as if an ancient dragon had awakened.

"Do you...plan on resorting to violence?" Panic surfaced on Xie Yutang’s face. Although he hated Lin Xun due to jealousy, he genuinely didn’t have the guts to fight him.

Pak!

Lin Xun flickered from the spot. Before anyone could catch his movement, Xie Yutang received a slap on the face.

"AH..." He yelped in pain. He was also a heaven pride, but he was nowhere near Lin Xun’s level and was unable to avoid the strike.

He was immediately sent flying and his cheekbone and jaw were broken, causing blood to spurt from his nose and mouth along with fragments of his teeth.

Everyone was shocked. Demon God Lin appeared to be furious. Did this mean that Xie Yutang’s words were true?

"What a shameless hypocrite, do you think I don't know what you’re up to? Should I call you devious and despicable, or should I say that you’re a death-seeking fool?"

Lin Xun walked forward and sent Xie Yutang flying with another slap. He began to see stars as his ears buzzed loudly, basically on the verge of fainting.

"Lin Xun!" Ashen-faced, Xie Yutang furiously roared as he struggled to get up.

"Shut your mouth!" Lin Xun stepped on Xie Yutang’s chest, crushing his ribcage as he looked down and coldly said, "I have put up with you for a long time. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

Xie Yutang's face twisted in agony and hatred as veins popped on his forehead. All the delight he felt earlier had long disappeared. He never imagined he would face the humiliation of being trampled on by Lin Xun in front of a crowd of heaven prides.

"You..." Xie Yutang’s eyes overflowed with resentment as he tried to say something.

"Shut up!" Lin Xun increased the force exerted by his foot, shattering Xie Yutang’s ribcage and causing his chest to cave inward.

Xie Yutang shrieked in pain and almost lost consciousness.

"We haven't even settled our old scores yet, but you're already so eager to make new ones. Do you actually think I’ll let you off for trying to use a petty trick like borrowing another person’s blade to kill me?"

Lin Xun had a cold and cruel expression with horrifying icy light seemingly shooting from his eyes. "Let me tell you that everything you’ve done is useless, but I won’t kill you. Instead, I will let you personally witness my rise in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. You’ll see how I vie for the great dao while you’ll forever be a pitiful worm who can only live in my shadow for the rest of your life!"

His tone was calm and indifferent. Xie Yutang had already crumpled on the ground like a pile of mud, unable to speak while his expression was filled with fear and resentment.

Only now did he realize that Lin Xun had long since become more terrifying than he had ever imagined and was so powerful that he couldn't even struggle or resist!

The nearby heaven prides were shocked by this scene.

As someone who could reach the third trial, Xie Yutang was undoubtedly a formidable heaven pride. However, he seemed even weaker than a chicken before Demon God Lin and had been subdued far too easily!

Several supreme heaven prides had varying reactions when they saw this. However, they now strongly suspected that Xie Yutang’s words were true. Why else would Demon God Lin have such a big reaction?

For a time, their gazes changed subtly when they looked at Lin Xun again.

Lin Xun paid no attention to these changes. He could not help but feel angry, especially since Xie Yutang came from the same place as him. Lin Xun never expected that the first person to jump out and sabotage him would be a fellow expert from the Ziyao Empire. Moreover, it wasn’t even the first time!

"Lin Xun, what are you doing? Junior Brother Xie was kind enough to advise you, but you not only refuse to listen but have even gone so far as to injure him. Don’t you think you’ve gone overboard?"

Zhuo Kuanglan stepped forward at this moment. He was one of the five true disciples of the Feather Sword Sect while also a supreme heaven pride. Hence, he could not idly stand by and watch Xie Yutang continue to be trampled on.

After all, Xie Yutang was also a disciple of their Feather Sword Sect!

"You don’t agree?"

Lin Xun raised his head and coldly looked over. Since his arrival at the Sinking Sea, he had been repeatedly provoked. Did they think he was a pushover who anyone could take advantage of?

Zhuo Kuanglan frowned. Soon after, he calmly said, "You should understand the consequences of your actions."

Lin Xun laughed, not caring about Zhuo Kuanglan's threat. He suddenly straightened his posture as his cold eyes swept across everyone present and indifferently said, "Whoever doesn’t agree can step forward now. I, Lin Xun, will happily accompany you to the end today!"

His overbearing words caused everyone’s expressions to change slightly. Had Demon God Lin gone crazy? This was way too wild!

There were so many heaven prides present. Did he think he could challenge them all alone?

Qing Lian'er softly laughed as she insidiously said, "Hehe. Look everyone, Demon God Lin is planning to make an enemy of all of us."

"Hmph, he's clearly asking for death."

"Lin Xun, you’ve just offended Miss Ji and Young Master Yu, and now you’ve not only hurt someone but also provoked us. Do you really think you’re above the law?"

Sha Liuchan, Zhongli Wuji, Wu Duanya, and others also spoke up. They bore a grudge against Lin Xun since long ago, and naturally would not miss this opportunity to hit him while he was down.

For a time, numerous arrows were pointed at Lin Xun, causing the crowd of experts to inwardly tremble.

With so many supreme heaven prides speaking out, Demon God Lin was in big trouble!
