The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 1099 Ancestral Divine Bamboo

Inside a grand hall of the Black Nightmare Mountain.

A woman was sobbing convulsively as she complained to the old man in charge.

The woman was Gou Yanzhen’s mother.

The old man was Gou Yanghai, the patriarch of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan and a terrifying cultivator who had passed the nine longevity tribulations and was only a short step away from ascending to the Saint Stage

“Patriarch, you were the one who raised Yanzhen. He is now dead on the shore of Star Chess Sea. I...I hate…!”

Gou Yanghai interrupted irritably, “Lord Xuetu is already taking care of this matter. That little bastard Lin Xun will surely be killed, isn’t that enough to reassure you?”

In truth, he was also furious when he heard the news of Gou Yanzhen’s death. He was a supreme genius of their clan and also the person who had the greatest hope of reaching the absolute apex king stage in the great age.

But he was killed!

“But Star Chess Sea is shrouded in supreme forbidden restrictions and arrays. If that little bastard hides there, Lord Xuetu...” uttered the woman bitterly.

But before she finished, Gou Yanghai interrupted with a frown, “Ridiculous! Are you doubting the power of Lord Xuetu? The power of the Saint stage is as mighty as the sky, what do you know?!”

The woman trembled and froze.

Gou Yanghai’s voice softened, “Don’t worry, in addition to Lord Xuetu, there are five other Saints who will attack together. There is no chance that the little bastard Lin Xun will survive!”

Boom!

A violent rumble at the mountain foot sent the entire Black Nightmare Mountain quaking, including the grand hall.

The tables, chairs and wall hangings in the hall rattled while ornaments, plates, and teacups were thrown about and some shattered to the ground.

“What’s going on!?” Gou Yanghai sprang up, his face darkening. Two rays of frightening blood-coloured light shot from his eyes.

“Patriarch, this is bad, someone has stormed our Black Nightmare Mountain!” cried a man in panic outside the hall.

“They have guts! Do they not know which clan they are in? They must not want to live anymore!” Gou Yanghai raged.

The Black Nightmare Dog Clan was powerful and tremendous with clansmen all over the Ancient Wasteland Domain. They were the ones who invaded others’ territories, but when had anyone dared to come to their door?

Not even the ancient sects and clans dared to do so!

“There is only a man and a woman, oh and also a herd of goats!” the man reported.

“A herd of goats?”

Gou Yanghai frowned, finding it hard to believe. “Could they be experts from the Azure Goat Spirit Clan?”

“No, they...they are just a group of ordinary beasts!” The man looked as baffled as him and struggled to explain.

“No matter who they are, anyone who dares to create trouble in the Black Nightmare Mountain can’t leave here alive!” Gou Yanghai’s face was ice-cold and filled with murderous intent as he stormed out of the hall.

Boom!

Black Nightmare Mountain was shaking endlessly, causing masses of earth and rock collapsing, ancient trees toppling over, the flow of springs and waterfalls were disrupted, and bursts of screams filled the area.

The mysterious woman continued to stride forward with a detached indifference, surrounded by crystal-clear rainbows.

In front of her was still a herd of goats and a dog.

It looked like she was grazing the goats.

But as she moved forward, experts from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan were blasted to the ground like they were struck by lightning before they even neared her.

The mysterious woman did not so much as glance at them. Her graceful figure continued to ascend the mountain.

Lin Xun followed, watching the scenes with a satisfied grin.

Back when he was in the West Infinity World, he had been hunted by the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Dog Clan, and even after he came to the East Infinity World, they still refused to give up and targeted him like haunting ghosts.

But now, everything had been reversed. He was led to the gate of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, advancing forward unobstructed like it was a place without anyone.

This was true invincibility!

A king-level expert thundered, “Who are you? You are audacious. Do you not know that this is the territory of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan?”

However, when his eyes landed on the mysterious woman, his spirit almost flew out of his body like he was struck by lightning. “You—you—you are a...Saint...”

Before he finished, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his spirit, which sent him limp and fell to the ground.

Behind the king-level expert stood more than a dozen experts, who were all dumbfounded at first, and then they all dropped to the ground with a thud.

The mysterious woman seemed to be moving forward step by step, but in fact, every step she took crossed thousands of feet. Her speed was incredible.

When she reached halfway up the mountain, the path behind her was already littered with bodies, most of which fainted from shock before they even had time to react.

Some also died on the spot, staining the mountain with blood. The reason being that they made rude remarks and insults.

Bodies were strewn in chaotic disarray.

“Heavens, run quickly!” The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts in the distance were so terrified that they spun around and bolted back up the mountain.

They could tell that there was no way or time to counterattack at all. The difference in strength was too great.

“A bunch of trash, move away!” Gou Yanghai’s majestic and imposing voice echoed throughout the Black Nightmare Mountain.

Meanwhile, the mysterious woman continued to tread the mountain path. Her figure soon appeared on the mountain summit.

The peak of Black Nightmare Mountain was extremely flat and vast, lined with ancient buildings and shrouded in misty clouds like a pure land detached from the rest of the world.

A ray of celestial light bathed the mysterious woman and added an illusory and dreamy glow to her.

“A Saint!”

With just one glance, Gou Yanghai, who was berserk with anger, instantly calmed down as though a basin of ice cold water had been poured over him. A look of bewilderedness mixed with solemnity crossed his face.

A Saint!

His words stopped the agitated and panicking Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts in their tracks. Their bodies went stiff as though they had been nailed to the spot.

It suddenly became deathly silent.

All eyes were fixed in the same direction.

The woman and man and the group of goats and a dog.

That scene was bizarre and ridiculous no matter how you looked at it from.

Even Gou Yanghai felt a wave of dizziness. A Saint had come to their door, but brought with her a group of goats and a dog.

“It’s you little bastard!” An ear-piercing scream rang out.

A woman glowered viciously at Lin Xun as if she would pounce at him anytime.

Gou Yanghai trembled inwardly. He also recognized Lin Xun. Previously, his mind was fully drawn to the mysterious woman so he did not identify the young man right away.

That kid is not dead!

Does this mean that Lord Xuetu’s operation in Star Chess Sea has...

He trembled once again, and his face became skewed with disbelief.

“Patriarch! Quickly kill him! Kill him to avenge my son!”

The woman’s sharp scream made Gou Yanghai’s expression change slightly, and he suddenly struck a palm at the unsuspecting woman and knocked her unconscious.

This was because he knew that there would be severe consequences from causing a scene in front of a Saint!

“After so many years, Black Nightmare Mountain is still the same—covered in a foul smell and atmosphere,” remarked the mysterious woman as she glanced around, looking a little disappointed.

Her voice was calm and indifferent, yet it was filled with supreme majesty like the voice of the great dao. Everyone present tensed up and felt indescribable pressure bearing down on them.

“Fellow cultivator, can I ask what brings you here?” Gou Yanghai finally took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, ignoring the disgust and contempt in the mysterious woman’s words.

But then an extremely gravelly voice rang out, “Yanghai, step aside. Since a Saint has come, I should personally welcome her.”

A slender old man cloaked in a black robe and with wrinkles etched into his skin suddenly appeared out of thin air.

“Lord Xuexing!”

Gou Yanghai and other Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts perked up. All the feelings of oppression and panic were lifted from their hearts.

Saint Xuexing was an old monster who had been in closed-door cultivation for close to eight thousand years!

To Gou Yanghai and the others, he was a pillar-like existence whose presence made them feel at ease.

“Fellow cultivator, can I ask what’s the reason for you to herd a group of goats here?” Saint Xuexing asked in a hoarse voice as he calmly looked at the mysterious woman. As for Lin Xun, he completely disregarded him.

“Firstly, to help this guy get revenge and secondly, to do business with you,” answered the mysterious woman casually.

Only then did Saint Xuexing shift his gaze onto Lin Xun.

Lin Xun felt unprecedented pressure. His spirit trembled violently as though that glance was enough to take his life!

“If your eyes are not good, then I can gouge them out for you. It’s useless to keep them anyway.” As soon as the mysterious woman said this aloud, Lin Xun felt the unbearable pressure and discomfort instantly swept away.

Saint Xuexing retracted his gaze and smiled. “Fellow Cultivator, please don’t joke around. I’m just curious as to how a junior could make a person like you storm Black Nightmare Mountain for him.”

“It’s very simple. You bullied the weak so I had to come and take care of things myself.”

Saint Xuexing looked taken aback until Gou Yanghai quickly sent a voice transmission to him to explain.

His expression changed subtly, and terrifying light swirled in his eye. “Fellow Cultivator, can I ask what happened on the shore of Star Chess Sea?”

The mysterious woman answered, “You will know after doing business with me.”

As she said that, she pointed to the black dog that was burying its head in the ground in shame. “I’ll sell this dog to you!”

The black dog was of course Saint Xuetu. The Black Nightmare Mountain was his home, but he, a high and mighty Saint, was herded back and being sold to his clan. He felt so ashamed and angry that he wanted to kill himself

“If I’m not mistaken, he...is a member of our clan.” Saint Xuexing frowned. “Fine, you don’t need to say more. Fellow Cultivator, what do you want?”

“Ten Ancestral Divine Bamboo stems will do,” stated the mysterious woman.

Ancestral Divine Bamboo!

Everyone in the audience turned pale. That was the most precious treasure of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan and also a unique divine material in the world.

In the entire world, it was grown only in the ancestral land of their clan!

Moreover, the Ancestral Divine Bamboo only grew by a small segment every three thousand years so there was a very limited amount of them in this world. Not even clan members could get their hands on any!

However, the mysterious woman unreasonably demanded ten Ancestral Divine Bamboo stems.
