The Prodigies War

Chapter 1028 Scheming

Revenge!

Meng Rong trembled all over.

She had a detailed understanding of what Lin Xun had done since he entered the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and she knew how terrifying the newborn who should have died back then had become.

He was nicknamed Demon God Lin, and he had stirred up storms across the West Infinity World.

Then he made a huge scene in the Ancient Blue Province and killed countless successors of Heaven Axis Holy Land. Even an old monster of the king stage died horribly in his hands!

Moreover, it was rumored that he owned a powerful Saint Treasure that won against even the Longevity Palace of the Longevity Land and Flaming Sun Golden Spear of Heaven Axis Holy Land.

A remarkable young man with a terrifying foundation and who held a Saint Treasure had come to take revenge. He was a trouble that absolutely no one could ignore. His presence could make anyone restless and unable to eat or sleep in peace!

“He must die!” Meng Rong screamed, losing control of her emotions. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy and disturbed she felt. It was as though a fish bone was stuck in her throat.

Her piercing voice echoed throughout the quiet hall.

Meng Qiujing didn’t scold her but nodded. “You are right, that boy must die!”

“Father, do you have a plan already?”

Meng Rong sensed that Meng Qiujing was far more calm and composed than she imagined.

Meng Qiujing said, “In the entire Omega Sword Sect, including you, no more than five people know that boy is still alive.”

“Even Yun Qingbai probably never thought that the baby could miraculously survive.”

Meng Rong interjected, “Yun Qingbai doesn’t know yet?”

“He has been in closed-door cultivation for ten years. How would he know?”

Meng Qiujing said indifferently, “Back when he seized that opportunity, he didn’t even know the newborn’s name. Now...haha, I reckon he won’t even recognize Lin Xun even if he stood in front of him.”

A gleam flashed in Meng Rong’s eyes. “Then...should we inform him immediately? If he takes action, he can easily kill that boy!”

“No!”

Meng Qiujing bluntly dismissed her then he urged, “Rong’er, not only must you not tell Yun Qingbai about this matter, but you must never mention it to anyone!”

“Why?” Meng Rong frowned in puzzlement.

“For a great fortune!” Steely light flashed from Meng Qiujing’s eyes. It was as though a pair of blazing suns were burning in his eye sockets.

“Everyone knows that Yun Qingbai is a genius with extraordinary talent and aptitude. He can be called a rare talent in thousands of years.” Meng Qiujing’s tone changed and his expression turned cold.

“But if he hadn’t successfully taken away that Origin Aeth Artery, he couldn’t possibly embark on the strongest Supreme Path that countless geniuses of the world dreamt of so early in his cultivation journey!”

Meng Rong tensed up as she vaguely guessed what her father was suggesting. A look of shock washed over her face as she said aloud, “Father, are you planning to…”

Meng Qiujing smiled, “Rong’er, Jingzhen is now at the pinnacle of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, but he is still some distance away from stepping onto the Supreme Path. Do you think…if there is a chance to help him change his fate and help him achieve supreme power before the great age comes, would you like to give it a try?”

“I...” Meng Rong’s heart violently thudded, and her mouth became parched.

She never thought that her father would have his eyes on Lin Xun’s Origin Aeth Artery like Yun Qingbai did back then.

“There is no need to worry. That boy hasn’t even set foot onto the king stage. All he has is a fierce name and reputation. He isn’t strong enough to make us afraid of him.”

Meng Qiujing’s eyes were chilling and unfathomable. “Also, I can tell you that even if we don’t fight for it, Gu Dongting will!”

“Do you mean Elder Gu Dongting?”

“That’s right, a few years ago that old guy had traveled to the lower domain, where he witnessed the extraordinary abilities of Lin Xun so he has long been tempted to act.”

“He is a king who has stepped into the second longevity tribulation, but he still wants a share of the…fortune.”

“It’s for Qing Zhe.”

Meng Qiujing’s voice was faintly mocking as he continued, “That old guy has promised to help Qing Zhe to win that fortune and in exchange, Qing Zhe’s clan will open up their holy land for him to tackle the next longevity tribulation.

“Simply speaking, it is a transaction. If it weren’t for this, how would Gu Dongting have survived two longevity tribulations in just a few years?”

Only then did Meng Rong realize that Gu Dongting and Qing Zhe were also eyeing Lin Xun!

“Then if we do that, won’t we have to compete with Gu Dongting?” Meng Rong frowned.

Meng Qiujing answered indifferently, “No, before we kill Lin Xun and take away his fortune, we will cooperate with them.

“As for who owns the fortune after we kill the boy…that will be decided by the two juniors, Jingzhen and Qing Zhe.”

“How?”

“With the most simple method.”

“A battle?”

Meng Rong’s expression tensed as she cried out anxiously, “Qing Zhe was already a true disciple of the sect a few years ago, and he is well known for his incredible talent. From what I know, he already possesses the strength to join the ranks of Thirteen Swords. How can Jingzhen compete with him?”

Meng Qiujing’s face darkened and he said irritably, “Rong’er, if he can’t even defeat Qing Zhe, then what makes you think he can compete for the great dao in the great age? What qualifications does he have to compete with the heroes all over the world?

“He is my grandson. If he can’t pass this test then I think he should stop thinking about revenge in his life!” Meng Qiujing said, suppressed anger coming out in his voice

Meng Rong’s face clouded over, and it was only after a long while that she took a deep breath and reassured him, “Father, then this matter is decided. I will do everything possible to make Jingzhen improve as quickly as possible!”

Clang!

With a wave of his sleeve, Meng Qiujing sent a sword-shaped jade pendant floating across the air, producing whispers of sword cry.

“This is the talisman of the Sword Sharpening Pagoda. When Jingzhen is ready, send him there to train. Given his aptitude and talent, as long as he lasts until the nineteenth floor, he stands a strong chance against Qing Zhe!”

Sword Sharpening Pagoda!

It was a sacred place for cultivation that the Omega Sword Ancestor created in the ancient times.

Generally speaking, only true disciples who had made great contributions to the sect were qualified to practice inside.

Clearly, Meng Qiujing had spent a lot to make Zhao Jingzhen grow and transform as soon as possible.

Meng Rong held the sword-shaped talisman tightly in her hand and asked, “Father, how do you plan to deal with Lin Xun?”

“The Four World Star Ranking Contest that happens every thirty years will kick off in one year. If Lin Xun wants to compete with Yun Qingbai in the battle of the great age, he will definitely take part in this competition!

“According to my assessment, what the kid lacks compared to Yun Qingbai is just time, and only in the star ranking contest will he have the opportunity to make up for this shortcoming.

“And that is our best chance to deal with him.” Meng Qiujing spoke confidently as if he had thought over and over again.

“One year later?” asked Meng Rong. “Isn’t that too late?”

“Impatience can’t accomplish great things. If we go and deal with the kid now that would be no different from searching for a needle in a haystack. If we can’t kill him with one blow, then we will only alert him and make him increase his guard.”

Meng Qiujing said casually, “Don’t forget that the boy was able to escape under the encirclement of Heaven Axis Holy Land. This is not something that just anyone can achieve.

“So if you want to deal with him, you must get rid of him with thunderous power and in a single strike!”

As he reached the end of the sentence, his voice was thick with uncontrollable murderous intent, which filled the entire hall with a terrifying atmosphere.

It was the majesty of a king. His one thought could make the world change color!

Seeing that her father had already made all kinds of preparations, Meng Rong felt much more at ease and no longer wavered.

She even felt anticipation—

If Jingzhen can also have a magical and terrifying Origin Aeth Artery like Yun Qingbai does, then he wouldn’t need to worry about not being able to become an absolute apex king in the future.

……

Dragon Tiger Province.

Rain Light City.

Under the night sky, the lights in the city glowed like dragons.

Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe walked side by side along the bustling street.

The former was calm.

The latter looked troubled.

“Damn it, a sword king has been dispatched. The Omega Sword Sect is crazy. We only took one of Yun Qingbai’s swords. Is there a need to mobilize such forces?” Xiao Qinghe’s voice was filled with indignation.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something as a strange smile tugged the corner of his lips, “Brother, did you want to capture Kong Ling, the beautiful little peacock too?”

“I actually had that thought,” Lin Xun answered casually.

Xiao Qinghe smiled ambiguously, “To be honest, that girl is indeed a stunning beauty. If you can subdue her, everyone in the world would envy you.”

Lin Xun rolled his eyes. “Why are your thoughts so dirty? I just thought that I lack a mount to travel on.”

“You...want to ride her?” Xiao Qinghe gasped, his face lighting up with admiration. “If the world sees the proud Kong Ling being ridden by you, countless men will go crazy with jealousy!”

“...” Lin Xun’s face darkened. This guy looks noble and elegant, but his mind is perverted.

“By the way, we have already left Baiyujing and reached the territory of Dragon Tiger Province. Brother, shouldn’t you keep your promise?” Xiao Qinghe suddenly changed the topic, staring at Lin Xun with blazing eyes.

“Come with me.” Lin Xun thought for a moment and left Rain Light City with Xiao Qinghe.

An hour later.

Amidst the vast and undulating mountain range in the deep night, Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe flickered in the sky.

Xiao Qinghe glanced around and joked, “It is dark and the wind is blowing…you’re not planning to kill me to conceal your identity, right?”

“The feng shui here is superb. It’s not a bad place to be buried.”

Lin Xun swept a glance over him.

Xiao Qinghe flustered, “This joke is not funny at all!”

“Then stop talking nonsense!”

Lin Xun did not expect Xiao Qinghe to be a chatterbox. He babbled on and on, and Lin Xun almost reached the end of his patience.

“Fine! I can promise you that but…”

Xiao Qinghe was again going to go into a long-winded speech when Lin Xun glared at him. “Shut up!”

Then, with a wave of his sleeve and two loud thuds, two figures rolled to the ground.
