The Prodigies War

Mo Feng and the others wore expressions as cold as water.

They traveled in the quiet and remote areas for fear of being noticed by the disciples of other clans because they all looked incredibly miserable with their bruised and swollen faces.

“That beast went too far! How dare it humiliate us?! When we get back to the sect we must ask the elders to avenge us. That beast must be skinned and crushed to dust to vent for what we have suffered!” someone fumed indignantly.

“Although the beast is intolerable, it didn’t kill us, which is strange. If my guess is correct, then it should have been the youngster’s order,” Wen Feiran analyzed.

She hadn’t been wounded so her stunning face stood out even more among the swollen faces of the Spirit Pearl Sect disciples.

“Is it the youngster’s doing?”

Bewildered, the others cast their mind back to the scene. The mysterious water python indeed acted particularly strange.

The beast constantly called them trash, dismissed them, humiliated them and warned them to not be so arrogant in the future.

However, strangely enough, it didn’t kill them even though it was a powerful monster in the Cyclic Derivation Stage.

“Hmph! Junior Sister Wen has such sharp eyes.” Mo Feng snorted coldly, “We have all suffered a beating and been humiliated, but you are the only one who is unscathed. Perhaps, the youngster knew that you are always taking him into consideration so he ordered the giant python to go easy on you.”

His words made everyone look at Wen Feiran strangely.

Indeed, in the past few days, Wen Feiran was always on the youngster’s side, and she also urged them to not confront the youngster. While they had all suffered a beating, Wen Feiran remained unharmed.

Wen Feiran’s expression changed on her beautiful face. “I...” Her mouth opened as she tried to explain, but she didn’t know what to say.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this matter anymore.” Mo Feng didn’t want to cause too much of a fuss. He drew a deep breath and said, “This matter must end here. Regardless of whether the beast was brainwashed by the youngster or not, he has to pay a price for it!”

The others nodded in agreement.

They all felt humiliated to death at the thought of the monster-beast trampling them who were the high and mighty descendants of the Spirit Pearl Sect.

They would become a laughingstock of the entire Fire Spirit Province if words got out!

“Huh?” Mo Feng’s countenance suddenly changed. He noticed a very familiar figure in the distance with his spirit sense.

It was the youngster!

His heart thumped. Is that guy here to retaliate against us again?

Mo Feng was a little apprehensive. The series of retaliation had struck him with terror. He felt as though Lin Xun was a ghost haunting him.

But soon, he noticed that the situation was not as he imagined.

“It seems like Yang Yundu from the Thousand Illusions Sect is obstructing his path. There is going to be a good show later, haha...” A smile spread across Mo Feng’s bruised and swollen face, which made him look quite comical. But he didn’t realize it and waved his hand. “Everyone, come with me. There’s going to be a good show to watch!”

Soon, the others also noticed Lin Xun being blocked by someone and donned gloating smiles.

That kid is going to suffer. Yue Jianming is leading the team from the Thousand Illusions Sect!

They furtively moved closer, hoping to watch a good show.

……

In the mountains, the white-robed man was surprised to hear Lin Xun refuse. He stared at him blankly for a second before his face darkened. “How dare you refuse?”

Lin Xun smiled. “Why can’t I refuse? Who are you to tell me what to do?”

The white-robed man was Yang Yundu from the Thousand Illusions Sect. “Are you not going to give face to our sect? Then don’t blame me...”

PA!

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xun slapped him across the face. The loud and crisp slap sent him flying across the air and left him with red and swollen cheeks.

He saw the world spin around him.

“Do you think you can order me around?” Lin Xun’s eyes were dark and chilling. He had just arrived in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, so he had intended to keep a low profile. However, he discovered that the more low profile he was, the more he was looked down upon.

That was the case with Mo Feng and the others.

The same was also true with the white-robed man from the Thousand Illusions Sect. His condescending attitude made Lin Xun not want to maintain a low profile.

A word that the great emperor of the Ziyao Empire said to him before he left suddenly came to his mind. “Fight!”

If you want to fight, you should be courageous and not be afraid of any difficulty!

If not, could he even think about competing for the great dao with the thousands of geniuses when the battle of the great age came?

“You…hit me?” Clutching his puffy cheeks with his hand, the white-robed man uttered with anger and disbelief.

Afar, Mo Feng and the others gasped audibly, and their eyes snapped wide open. That youngster is so fierce and ruthless. How could he slap Yang Yundu at the slightest disagreement?

What shocked them the most was that Yang Yundu, who was considered a powerful Heaven Ascension Stage elite, failed to block the slap! How could they not be flabbergasted?

“If you continue to insult me, do you think I don’t dare to kill you?” Lin Xun might speak calmly and indifferently, but a chilling murderous light was shooting out from his eyes and an invisible terrifying aura was spreading outwards from his body.

Yang Yundu shuddered, feeling an unprecedented pressure bearing down on him, almost suffocating him.

The handsome youngster seemed to have become another person. His murderous intent swept the area like a rushing tide, making him appear like a king emerging from a sea of blood and corpses.

The white-robed man trembled all over, his teeth chattering, his mind shaking and his scalp numb. He sensed great danger.

Although he was arrogant, his sixth sense was very strong. He knew he had barked up the wrong tree!

The youngster wasn’t an ordinary person. He was clearly a ruthless and fierce person who had caused countless bloody storms!

Mo Feng and the others finally realized the terror of Lin Xun. They were far away, but they distinctly sensed the bone-chilling murderous intent emanating from Lin Xun.

So strong!

It dawned on them that Lin Xun hadn’t been exactly retaliating against them but instead had been deliberately teasing them!

If he truly wanted revenge, then he wouldn’t need to go to such trouble given his powers as suggested by his strong murderous intent and aura. He could easily suppress them directly!

Even Mo Feng, who was incomparably arrogant and conceited, had to admit that Lin Xun was strong.

They all felt chilled to the core knowing that they were planning to get revenge on Lin Xun.

“No matter how fierce and strong he is, he has caused a lot of trouble. Yang Yundu is the person whom Yue Jianming trusts the most. How would he be a pushover?”

Mo Feng gritted his teeth, “Just wait and see. Yue Jianming will definitely do something about the kid’s behavior and actions!”

As he guessed, a sound pierced the air in the distance.

An arc of golden light streaked across the sky like a bridge, sprinkling a dreamy shower of light on the world. On the divine arc of light stood a group of men and women.

They were headed by a confident and dignified purple-clad youngster with dark hair draping over his shoulder and a jade belt tied around his waist.

His brows were sharp like a sword, and his eyes sparkled like stars. He was unquestionably a handsome man. His skin was brighter and more luminous than jade. He resembled a divine being descending upon the world as he came riding on a divine rainbow, especially with his extraordinary bearing.

In contrast, the women beside him looked much duller, outshined by his brilliance. They were just a backdrop for him.

Yue Jianming!

Mo Feng and the others trembled inwardly and complex emotions swirled in their hearts. Yue Jianming was one of the most dazzling geniuses in the Fire Spirit Province. He was akin to a leading figure among the younger generation of the four sects and three clans.

Similarly, he was the opponent that Mo Feng and the others feared the most. Yue Jianming’s strength could only be described as unfathomable to the younger generation!

Ever since he appeared, no one among his peers was able to cover his brilliance.

“Yue Jianming has come. A good show is indeed going to start. Regardless of how fierce that youngster is, he will most likely be suppressed by Yue Jianming.”

Mo Feng and the others had conflicted emotions. They feared Yue Jianming, but they also wished that Yue Jianming would show his might and kill Lin Xun.

“Senior Brother Yue!”

Yang Yundu cried out, his face alight with wild joy. He shot a look at Lin Xun that was full of seething resentment.

Yue Jianming had come with a group of other junior and senior brothers and sisters. Yang Yundu felt much more confident now that he had the support of so many people.

Lin Xun swept a glance over Yue Jianming, but his expression remained as calm as ever. He even noticed that Mo Feng and the others were furtively watching from afar, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

To Lin Xun, it was not a big deal.

In the past years, he had been hunted by a group of Life Death Stage Kings and old monsters, and he had even slaughtered quite a few Cyclic Derivation Stage cultivators and half-step kings. How would he be threatened by a group of youngsters?

The current Lin Xun might be no different from his peers in terms of cultivation base and age, and he could be grouped with the younger generation of cultivators, but in terms of combat experience, he was at a much higher level than them.

He was on the supreme path. He was akin to a king of his cultivation stage. He stood at the top of the world and defied the heavens!

However, even though his heart was calm, he couldn’t help feeling a little surprised when he saw Yue Jianming.

Based on bearing alone, he could tell that Yue Jianming was indeed a rare outstanding figure.

His bearing and aura were different from ordinary people. No mediocre cultivator would be able to form that kind of aura.

Lin Xun had come across all sorts of geniuses, talents, heroes and saints in the lower domain world, so he could easily notice many things that others couldn’t see.

For example, he knew that Yue Jianming was as strong as Qing Zhe, a successor of the Omega Sword Sect.

Although he had defeated Qing Zhe, the sword cultivator was still an official disciple of the Omega Sword Sect and had an amazing foundation and background.

However, it was surprising that the Thousand Illusions Sect, a little area in the Fire Spirit Province of the West Infinity World, was able to cultivate an outstanding figure such as Yue Jianming.

He was a fish that was too big for its pond and would transform into a dragon and leave the pond sooner or later.

While Lin Xun’s mind had drifted off, Yue Jianming and his party had arrived.

“Senior Brother Yue, just now, that kid...” Yang Yundu hurriedly stepped forward and spoke in an exaggerated tone. He couldn’t wait for Yue Jianming to take action and teach Lin Xun a lesson.

However, before he finished speaking, a slap sent him staggering backwards and he almost collapsed on his buttocks.
