The Prodigies War

The Forbidden City was brightly lit even at night.

In the Qin Family’s residence, the higher-ups of the Qin and Zuo Families were rarely gathered together.

However, the mood within the hall was very depressing, unlike the lively atmosphere outside. The higher-ups all wore dark and sullen expressions, which made the air very tense.

One of the big shots said through gritted teeth, “Argh! Even the successors of the Omega Sword Sect failed to stop the kid! Who else in the empire can do anything to him in the future?”

“It’s easy to foresee that if anything were to happen to the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan in the future, the Qin and Zuo Clans will be suspected, even if it has nothing to do with us. They now have the protection of the influential figures of the imperial family as well as the emperor and Blood Kill King!” someone sighed pessimistically.

The higher-ups of the Zuo and Qin Clans were all aware that the two clans had gone against the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan more than ten years ago.

However, they never imagined that the deteriorating Lin Clan would suddenly come back to life because of Lin Xun.

In just a few years, the Lin Clan underwent tremendous changes and strongly soared up. In terms of power and reputation, it had outshone some mid-level aristocratic clans.

Today, when Lin Xun defeated Qing Zhe, all the higher-ups of the Zuo and Qin Clans both realized a serious issue.

If they wanted to continue to subdue and suppress the Lin Clan in the future, then they should just probably give up all hope now!

“Lin Xun!” One of the higher-ups almost crushed his teeth in hatred and anger. A teenager was able to support the Lin Clan by himself after a few years of training! The more amazing he was, the more threatening and hateful he was to them.

“Everyone, there is no need to panic. Both our clans have been standing to this day. A little youngster can’t possibly shake our positions,” the leader of the Qin Clan said after taking a deep breath. “Although we can’t do anything to him now, he also can’t do anything to us.”

He continued after a pause, “Everyone must know that the kid is an enemy of the Omega Sword Sect ever since he was born. In the foreseeable future, he will enter the Ancient Wasteland Domain to avenge his parents and families. We don’t need to worry. When that happens, the Omega Sword Sect will make things difficult for the kid and might even get him killed!”

The analysis made a lot of sense, and many top figures echoed his view and became more relaxed.

Indeed, no matter how amazing Lin Xun was, he couldn’t shake two high clans with his current strength.

Additionally, he had too many enemies. If he entered the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he would no doubt suffer attacks from the Omega Sword Sect!

The Omega Sword Sect was an ancient dao sect that had been standing since ancient times. It had a long history and a rich foundation.

It was more than easy for them to eliminate a youngster!

Someone exclaimed out loud, “I suddenly remembered that the kid killed a successor of Spirit Treasure Holy Land when he was in the depths of the Spirit Burial Sea and because of this, he formed a blood feud with Spirit Treasure Holy Land!”

“The foundation and power of Spirit Treasure Holy Land are as impressive as the Omega Sword Sect’s.”

“Oh, I also remembered that, half a year ago, an expert from Heaven Axis Holy Land visited Qinglu Academy, but Lin Xun acted out violently at the time and wounded several successors from Heaven Axis Holy Land.”

The higher-ups spoke out one after another, identifying the clans and forces that Lin Xun had become enemies with.

Everyone became stirred up with excitement as they spoke. The anger accumulated in their hearts had already been swept away.

In the end, they concluded: Lin Xun had formed too many feuds and someone was bound to deal with him. They didn’t need to worry about it.

Meanwhile, given the current strength of Lin Xun and Mind Cleansing Peak’s Lin Clan in the Ziyao Empire, they couldn’t possibly shake the Zuo and Qin Clans.

In other words, the threat posed to them by Lin Xun was nothing, at least for now.

“Haha, I hope the kid will quickly leave the empire and go to the Ancient Wasteland Domain. There are thousands of ancient sects coexisting there, and the cultivators there are all powerful and magnificent. Moreover, he has angered so many ancient sects, so I wonder how he is going to die.

“I’m also looking forward to it. The kid has always been fearless and audacious. He has already caused countless disasters. He doesn’t know his place, so he will no doubt anger many more people again if he goes to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.”

The tense atmosphere in the hall eased, and everyone was gloating.

“Reporting back!”

Suddenly, an attendant from the Zuo Clan rushed into the hall in a panic, his forehead beaded with sweat. “Patriarch, we just received the news that Lin Xun has been killing on the Blood Kill Battlefield in the past six months!”

All the big shots in the room frowned in bewilderment. What’s the huge fuss?

The patriarch of the Qin Clan said aloud, “Be specific.”

While wiping away his sweat, the attendant quickly explained, “Rumors are circulating in the Forbidden City. Lin Xun is said to have killed several half-step kings on the Blood Kill Battlefield...”

The attendant began to list Lin Xun’s remarkable feats and achievements on the Blood Kill Battlefield.

The faces of the Zuo and Qin Clan influential figures grew overcast again, and the relaxed feeling and the gloating that they felt quickly faded.

“According to the rumors, Lin Xun deserves huge credit as to why the soldiers on the Blood Kill Battlefield were able to persist until the passage to the empire was reopened!”

When the attendant said this, the atmosphere in the hall had already become deathly silent and still. It was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.

How could they have imagined that, during the six months that Lin Xun was gone, he was causing a huge stir on the dangerous Blood Kill Battlefield?

He killed half-step kings with a bow and arrow!

He charged unhindered across the battlefield and slaughtered and frightened enemies with his strength alone!

He earned many military credits and reached the top three of the military credit list!

The enemy moved his name to the third most wanted on the Blood Wanted List!

The most unbelievable thing was that Bloodthirsty Queen Zhao Xingye forced the Magi Brute Army to ceasefire by using Lin Xun’s bow and arrow!

His series of incredible feats and achievements struck the Zuo and Qin Clans like thunderbolts. All the clansmen stood, stunned with disbelief.

The attendant who was reporting back had already turned pale with nervousness, trembling and sweating profusely. The atmosphere in the hall was so still and depressing that he felt like he was suffocating.

He was aware that his report greatly shocked the great figures, and their emotions at this moment...

They must be the worst ever!

“That kid...is a monster!” the patriarch of the Qin Clan sighed after a long moment. But it was difficult to tell whether it was out of admiration or disgust.

Immediately after that, he drew a deep breath and said aloud, “Everyone, don’t worry. He will soon leave the empire and head to the Ancient Wasteland Domain. The more heaven-defying he acts, the greater the danger and hardships he will suffer there. He might even lose his life.”

Everyone nodded silently. They could only reassure themselves in that way now.

Boom!

At that moment, another strange change happened. A deafening sound rocked the hall.

“How dare someone try to trespass into the Qin Clan’s residence?!”

The patriarch of the Qin Clan sprang up in fury. His mood was already very bad because of Lin Xun.

How would he not fly into a rage now that someone wanted to break into the Qin Clan’s residence?

“Let’s see who is so audacious!”

“Our two clans have never experienced such situations in many years, but now, obstacles are appearing one after another! Do they think our clans are easy to bully?”

Everyone was seething.

Just like the patriarch of the Qin Clan, they were incandescent with rage because of Lin Xun, and that anger finally erupted in full.

They needed to vent their anger, if not, they would suffocate!

“Patriarch! Patriarch! This is bad!” Several attendants rushed into the hall in a panic.

“Trash, what’s going on?” The Qin Clan patriarch almost lashed out at them with a kick. They had embarrassed the Qin Clan. The entire empire would laugh at the Qin Clan if they heard about them losing their composure.

However, his expression changed dramatically the next second and he cried out, “Why...why is it you?”

He looked as bad as the panicked attendants. It was obvious that he had also lost control of his emotions.

Not only him, but all the figures in the hall were also staring outside the hall in bewilderment and disbelief.

Outside the hall stood a graceful and slender figure in a black cloak. Her long black hair was rolled up in a bun that accentuated her bright eyes, plump red lips, pearly white teeth, and mesmerizing beauty.

She exuded a peerless elegance even just standing there.

Zhao Xingye!

She had the title of Bloodthirsty Queen in the empire. She was the only female general in the empire and was seen as one of the most terrifying figures among the Life Death Stage Kings.

She was always fighting on the Blood Kill Battlefield and rarely showed up in the empire, but even so, stories about her constantly circulated!

Everyone was aware that Zhao Xingye had another identity, especially the influential figures present. She was the emperor’s younger sister!

Why would such a stunning woman with a terrifying cultivation base, abnormally strong powers, and a high and mighty status force her way into the Qin Clan’s residence so late at night?

“Lin Xun?!” someone screamed, and his eyes almost rolled out of their sockets.

A handsome young man was standing not far behind Zhao Xingye; it was Lin Xun!

Everyone in the hall suddenly became restless. How would they have thought that the youngster they hated to the bone would appear in front of them in such a way?!

What…did he come here for?

Could he have come to get revenge by taking advantage of Zhao Xingye’s power?

The same thought struck the minds of the great figures from the Zuo and Qin Clans.

All faces suddenly clouded over.

They had found various reasons to reassure themselves that Lin Xun wouldn’t be a threat to them as long as he went to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

But who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, the youth who brought them endless headaches would appear before them?

The god of destiny liked to make fools of people!
