Gou Xuxing lost his composure.

His face clouded over, and his chest heaved up and down. He had completely lost his usual calmness.

Five half-step kings were dispatched, but only one was able to return, albeit in panic and terror. Whereas the other four all met with an accident. Gou Xuxing couldn’t accept it at all.

They might have failed last time because of a Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast, but then what about this time?

Could the kid have asked another powerful beast of the king stage to help him?

Soon, Gou Ying recounted the battle and revealed everything, suggesting that Lin Xun wasn’t an ordinary peerless genius.

His fighting power, as well as the secret techniques and treasures that he used, were all frightening and heaven-defying. Everything about him was extraordinary.

“I see…” Gou Xuxing almost broke down when he learned the truth.

He thought it was too absurd.

A Heaven Ascension teenager broke out of the encirclement of five half-step kings and defeated them all!

If this incident spread out, who would believe it?

At first, Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong were very glad and delighted to see Gou Xuxing suffer a setback. But the more they heard about Gou Ying’s analysis of Lin Xun, their faces turned solemn and their eyes flashed.

“That kid must have stepped onto the supreme path and has mastered extraordinary cultivation arts.” Gou Yangba said ruminatively, “But even so, it’s still impossible for him to kill half-step kings, cultivators of a much higher cultivation stage than him.”

“That’s right, the key has to be the treasure he used!” Gou Yangtong added, a frightening menacing light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

“Among the treasures of the present age, even a top king-level weapon can’t possibly kill a half-step king, which means that the treasure he owns...”

Everyone’s eyelids twitched.

“Is a saint treasure!” Gou Yangba and Gou Yangtong exclaimed simultaneously, their expressions altering endlessly. Their hearts were stirred up.

Saint treasure?

Those two words alone had a stifling power.

This was because saint treasures possessed terrifying power beyond imagination. Rumor had it that real saint treasures could subdue even Life Death Stage Kings and compel them to kneel with just their aura alone!

Gou Yangba furrowed his brow. “No, it might be a peerless spirit weapon. But that’s even rarer than a saint treasure...”

Spirit weapons were unique and rare, cast from divine materials and only existed in ancient times. In the present world, it was incredibly difficult to find anyone who possessed such a treasure.

Spirit treasures might not be as terrifying as saint treasures in terms of power, but they were much rarer. Of course, some spirit weapons were originally saint treasures!

After all, a spirit weapon was just a general term that referred to remarkable treasures that could be controlled using the Spirit Control Art.

Some saint treasures also possessed such an ability.

“That kid has a treasure ship that we suspect to be a damaged saint treasure and a broken blade that we suspect to be a peerless spirit weapon...He has such a terrifying foundation. He is very likely to have set foot on the supreme path. There is no need to guess to know that the kid had harvested great fortunes in the past!”

Gou Yangtong suddenly rose to his feet, his eyes blazing like the brightest torches, ripping apart the night.

“It’s time for us to take action now.”

Gou Yangba also got up and said resolutely, “Let’s go!”

Without any wavering, the two kings vanished with a flash of light.

From the beginning to the end, they never asked for Gou Xuxing’s opinion and completely dismissed him.

From the moment they learned that Lin Xun had great treasures on him, their interests were piqued.

Most importantly, even as kings, they longed for saint treasures!

……

Gou Xuxing’s expression turned the worst yet, and he almost shattered his teeth in anger.

He knew that from the moment the two old monsters set off, he would never be able to redeem himself. What awaited him was only severe punishment from the clan, and...

Being kicked and trampled on the ground!

He might not be able to lift his head again in this life!

“Why did this happen….why…why…” The more he thought about it, the more bitter he felt, and he almost headed for a breakdown.

“Young master, maybe the situation is not as bad as you think. Even if those two old guys have gone off, does that mean they wouldn’t fail?” Gou Ying’s question took Gou Xuxing aback.

“Think about it, if those two old guys also fail, then no one can blame you for what happened. After all, even two kings failed to do anything to the kid, let alone you.”

Gou Ying’s words seemed to have magical powers as the anxious and restless Gou Xuxing suddenly regained his composure.

Gou Xuxing hesitated before he said, “Do you mean that those two may also return in failure?”

“No one can guarantee anything before it happens.” A glint flashed in Gou Ying’s eyes. “But, Young Master, don’t forget that Lord Gou Gui also...”

Without finishing her sentence, her meaning was obvious.

Gou Xuxing had calmed down, but he still felt despair. Gou Gui only suffered an accident because he was seriously injured by the Single-Horned Golden-Eyed Beast King.

But this time, two old monsters of the king stage were working together, so how could that kid have a chance of surviving?

It might be strange, but Gou Xuxing didn’t want Lin Xun to die. He couldn’t help but hope for that to happen if he wanted to maintain his position within the clan.

His conflicted emotions at that moment tormented him like poison.

“I…hope so…” he sighed after a long moment.

Under the night, his expression seemed particularly overcast and chill.

……

“Come out!”

Lin Xun, who was maneuvering in the air through the undulating mountains suddenly stamped his feet on the ground and fixed his gaze in the distance.

His eyes flashed like lightning. “If you don’t show up now, then don’t blame me when I hack you to death.” The corners of his lips curled upwards.

“Young Master, please calm down, please calm down.”

Immediately, a figure popped out from the darkness and bowed repeatedly. “I am Bai Fengliu from the Windspeaker Clan. I am just waiting here to ask you something.” He sweated profusely.

It was a slender old man with dark skin and an honest-looking face.

But he was a strong Cyclic Derivation cultivator, and the inadvertent sheen on his eyes made Lin Xun realize that he wasn’t as simple and honest as he appeared.

Lin Xun gave a slight smile. “What do you want to ask?”

Bai Fengliu?

He doesn’t suit the name![1]

Bai Fengliu forced a chuckle and leaned forward to say, “Young Master, you are known all over the world, and you have become one of the peerless figures of the younger generation whom everyone pays attention to. Recently, your amazing feats have spread to many cities...”

“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point,” interrupted Lin Xun.

Bai Fengliu smiled in embarrassment. “Uh, it’s actually a very simple matter. I’m from the Windspeaker Clan, and I just want to know more about the grudge between you and the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. I also want to hear about the battle between you and the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.”

Lin Xun stared at him, speechless for a while. This old guy actually came all the way to the wilderness alone just to find out about that.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but feel a little impressed. This clan is indeed the most well-informed clan in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. They are faster than anyone else when it comes to gathering news.

Despite being impressed, Lin Xun was in no mood to accept an interview. He directly refused, turned around and left.

He was being hunted down now, how could he leak information about himself?

Lin Xun’s direct refusal struck Bai Fengliu dumb. Only after a while could he mutter, “Other young heroes would throw out everything they are proud of once they find out that our Windspeaker Clan are digging up news about them, but this guy didn’t seem to care at all..”

Although annoyed, Bai Fengliu still pulled himself together and tried to find out news about Lin Xun.

He had no other choice. In over a dozen provinces in the West Infinity World there were rumors circulating about the battle between Demon God Lin and the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

Furthermore, the news caused a stir in the world and was still spreading to other provinces at an astonishing speed even now.

After all, Demon God Lin was no doubt the first hero among the younger generation who dared to challenge the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. Moreover, his achievement proved that he had true strength.

In particular, his claim that he would ‘slaughter all the black nightmare dogs in the world’ had sparked endless discussions among cultivators.

However, they heard that shortly after Demon God Lin left the city, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan had dispatched powerful masters to hunt him down.

They couldn’t help but pay close attention to this matter and speculate whether Demon God Lin would be able to survive and whether he could forge a bloody path and escape again.

The Windspeaker Clan, which always had the mission to spread the news of the world, couldn’t stay put and do nothing, so they sent a large number of investigators to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

Bai Fengliu was one of the oldest and most experienced investigators. His knowledge and experiences earned him the title of know-all.

“Oh, what a pity. I finally waited until the kid showed up, but he refused to cooperate with me… Then it seems that I will have to investigate by myself...” Bai Fengliu sighed, pulled himself together, and searched for clues along the way that Lin Xun came from instead of chasing after him.

His years of experience and intuition told him that Lin Xun must have been through countless bloody battles along the way.

If there was a battle, then there had to be a battlefield and clues left behind! He would be able to find out about the battles even if Lin Xun refused to reveal anything.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Bai Fengliu to find a desolated battlefield.

When he laid eyes on the battlefield, even with his years of travels and extensive experience, he couldn’t help but freeze and gasp out loud.
