The Prodigies War

Chapter 1559: Xue Qingyi's Plan

The North Sea Ancient Domain wasn’t the only one to receive the news.

The Absolute Yin Ancient Domain, Heavenly Flame Ancient Domain, Nine Dark Ancient Domain, Great Luo Ancient Domain, East Mulberry Ancient Domain, and the others also received the news.

"Those trash!"

In the Nine Dark Territory, Chi Wushu was in closed cultivation when he heard the news. He was so enraged that his killing intent erupted, causing countless people to silently shiver.

In the Absolute Yin Territory, Zhu Yingkong's expression darkened. After a long time, he sighed. "What an embarrassment…"

In the Great Luo Territory, Jian Qingchen's expression was as calm as usual.

However, his words made everyone in the room feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles and nervous as if a blade was pointed at their backs. "I can’t believe that Lin Xun is also a formidable dao rune master. What a surprise!"

In the Star Fiend Ancient Domain, Shi Pohai's ice-cold voice thundered as he kicked over the table in front of him, causing a mess. "A single person destroyed our seven domains army? He’s really something, isn’t he!"

Likewise, Lie Qian of the Heavenly Flame Ancient Domain and Hua Hongxiao of the East Mulberry Ancient Domain were also furious after hearing the news.

The domain that they had regarded as poor, declining, and weak had caused their seven mighty domains to suffer a setback due to a single individual called Lin Xun. It was an unprecedented humiliation!

For a time, the seven camps were greatly shaken as countless uproars erupted due to the news.

"Is Lin Xun really that terrifying? Did he really wipe out seventy supreme Saints and more than two hundred thousand troops all on his own?"

The initial reaction of many people was that it was impossible!

Some people were puzzled. "How could such a powerful person appear in the Ancient Wasteland Domain?"

"Such a crushing defeat is a disgrace for us. This debt must be repaid in blood!" The majority, on the other hand, was enraged and felt unspeakable shame.

In the past, most of them hadn’t even heard of Lin Xun.

It was only after hearing that the Blood Demon Territory had suffered a huge defeat where many Saints were killed and a City of Protection was besieged by a single person that Lin Xun's name entered their sights.

However, that was all.

To the experts from the other domains, even if a formidable powerhouse like Lin Xun emerged in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, it would be impossible for them to gain any momentum and they were still far from qualified to challenge other domains.

However, no one had expected the Ancient Wasteland Domain to withstand the assault of the seven domains army because of Lin Xun alone!

He had single-handedly wiped out the seven domains army and saved the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

It was an inconceivable feat that made the other domains experts’ expressions involuntarily change as they felt a chill in their hearts along with incomparable humiliation.

Lin Xun was beginning to stick out too much.

Ever since he rose to fame in the Nine Domains Battlefield, he had shown incredible capability and boasted an undefeated battle record.

Whether it was when he carved a bloody road of thirty thousand miles in the Blood Demon Territory, when he besieged a City of Protection alone, when he killed a group of supreme Saints deep in the desert to rescue Shaohao, or even his latest feat of single-handedly fending off and massacring the seven domains army, how could anyone not be shocked and terrified by these bloody events?

"How strong is Lin Xun?" Numerous experts pondered over this question.

Some experts calmly analyzed the situation. "It’s estimated that only experts on the level of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes will be able to take him out."

While destroying the seven domains army might make it seem as if Lin Xun was invincible, the truth was that it was only possible because he had borrowed the power of a Saint-grade forbidden array.

Although his strength was nothing to scoff at, it was impossible for him to claim invincibility in the Nine Domains Battlefield!

"Damn it, those easily slaughtered two-legged sheep of the Ancient Wasteland Domain must be pleased to have Lin Xun backing them and think they have the qualifications to challenge us."

Many people inwardly ground their teeth.

"Humph! That’s only because they have yet to understand fear. It’s wishful thinking to believe that Lin Xun alone can help them turn the tides!"

"Just wait, this humiliation will be repaid a hundred times over! After all, a two-legged sheep is ultimately only a two-legged sheep which can never amount to anything!"

Similar resentful remarks were repeatedly made in the various camps.

However, no one could deny that Lin Xun was strong. He was acknowledged by all to be a formidable expert whom they should be wary of!

……

Blood Demon Territory.

City of Protection, inside Victory Tower.

The Blood Demon Ancient Domain bigwigs were in a rather peculiar mood at the moment. They felt a strange mix of joy, shame, and unease.

News of the seven domains alliance army’s defeat had also left them in shock and disbelief.

After returning to their senses, the Blood Demon Ancient Domain experts felt fortunate that Xue Qingyi had refused to join the alliance regardless of everyone’s objections.

Otherwise, they would have also suffered the same fate as the other seven domains!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was Xue Qingyi's decision that allowed the Blood Demon Ancient Domain to avoid any casualties!

Xue Qingyi stroked his chin as he leisurely said, "Everyone, you should have now realized how sharp of a blade Lin Xun is. Will you still blame me and call me a weak coward?"

To be frank, he had also been deeply shocked when he heard the news. Although he had expected Lin Xun to be a difficult opponent, he never imagined the latter would be so fearsome!

Xue Qingyi’s shock was soon followed by delight.

Previously, he had been viewed as a cowardly and incompetent person because he had stubbornly insisted on turning down the seven domains army alliance. The decision also hurt his reputation and made him a laughing stock, which greatly frustrated him.

Now, he finally had a chance to vent his anger!

In the hall, the Blood Demon Ancient Domain bigwigs displayed embarrassed looks and didn't dare to face Xue Qingyi's gaze.

Back then, they had been very dissatisfied with Xue Qingyi's decision and had voiced their complaints numerous times.

"It’s fine, I have no intention of blaming you guys."

Xue Qingyi said, "I only wish to know if those who once laughed at us…can they still laugh now?"

His words made everyone burst into laughter, brightening the atmosphere in the hall.

Xue Qingyi withdrew his smile and said, "If my guess is correct, Kun Shaoyu, Jian Qingchen, Zhu Yingkong, and the others are probably plotting how to take revenge and save face…"

Someone couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master, should we also make a move?"

Xue Qingyi coldly snorted and said, "Why bother? Isn't it better to sit by the sidelines and watch the tigers fight?" Although the seven domains army had been annihilated, each domain had only lost ten supreme Saints and thirty thousand troops. Our Blood Demon Territory has suffered way bigger losses!"

These words silenced everyone.

When Lin Xun was in the Blood Demon Territory, he murdered more than thirty supreme Saints while making his way from the Spirit Refinement Forest to the City of Protection. In comparison, their losses were indeed much higher than the other seven domains.

Xue Qingyi suddenly sighed softly and said, "However, it's probably impossible for us to sit back and watch in the future. At the end of the day, the eight domains have an agreement to first destroy the Ancient Wasteland Domain before competing. Even if we want to stand by the sidelines, the other seven domains would not permit it."

Someone asked, "Young Master, what are you implying?"

Xue Qingyi pondered for a long time before he slowly said, "We’ll sit tight and wait for now. I believe that the other seven domains will drag us along if they decide to make any moves. When that time comes, it won’t be too late to make a decision."

The strength Lin Xun displayed made him a serious threat that would make Xue Qingyi put aside his grievances for the moment. He believed it would be best if Lin Xun was killed as soon as possible.

From Xue Qingyi's perspective, the Ancient Wasteland Camp still wasn’t worth paying attention to. Only Lin Xun was a threat.

Once Lin Xun was destroyed, the Ancient Wasteland Camp would soon collapse and pose zero threat to them!

Unfortunately, Xue Qingyi also knew that it would not be easy to kill a formidable expert like Lin Xun.

Xue Qingyi suddenly asked, "What does the Ancient Wasteland Domain lack the most to contend against our eight domains?"

Before anyone could respond, he said, "It's the quantity of supreme Saints! Lin Xun alone can't change the Ancient Wasteland Camp’s situation. Only by having more supreme Saints will they gain the foundation to challenge us."

At this point, Xue Qingyi couldn't help but grin.

"If I were Lin Xun, I would definitely find a way to help experts with the potential to become supreme Saints earn a chance to become supreme Saints!

"A chance to become a supreme Saint will arrive when the Origin Magnet Secret Realm descends in half a year. The Ancient Wasteland Camp will not miss out on this opportunity!"

His scarlet eyes shone like suns, appearing incomparably terrifying. "This will undoubtedly become our best chance to kill Lin Xun!"

At this juncture, however, Xue Qingyi shook his head and said, "However, opportunity is often accompanied by great risk. The eight domains can kill Lin Xun if we work together, but endless troubles will also follow if we fail and allow him to escape.

"As such, the least risky method is to send elites into the Origin Magnet Secret Realm to kill all of the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts who have the potential to become supreme Saints!

"This will destroy the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s foundations, making it impossible for them to challenge the eight domains. When that happens, Lin Xun and the handful of supreme Saints left will be fated to fail."

Xue Qingyi stood up, looked over the crowd, and said, "While the Origin Magnet Secret Realm has yet to descend, kill every Ancient Wasteland Domain expert who appears in the Blood Demon Territory!

"It matters not if they’ve yet to reach the ninth longevity tribulation stage, I’d rather kill a thousand people than let a single one go by mistake!

"Additionally, send a message to the other seven domains in my name. Tell them that if they wish to destroy the Ancient Wasteland Domain, we must first eliminate those who have attained the supreme path but have yet to become Saints. In this way, no matter how peerless Lin Xun's combat strength is, he will lack support and the Ancient Wasteland Domain will be doomed to defeat!

"The leaders of the seven domains should know what to do next if they aren't fools. Of course, it won’t matter whether they listen to my suggestion or not."

With these final words, he walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back, displaying a figure that was imposing and filled with ambition.

The real battle had just begun. Xue Qingyi was determined to eventually wash away all the humiliation he had suffered!
