The Prodigies War

Wei Tianxing’s words made Gao Yunkun get down on all fours and tremble all over, feeling as if the whole world had abandoned him.

Everyone’s jaws dropped once more. The scene felt as unreal as a dream.

Gao Yunkun was Gao Tianyi’s son, but he was being reprimanded and punished to be on his knees. Who would believe it?

Miss Le had to be a noble character if even someone with an amazing status like Gao Tianyi had to speak humbly to her!

The atmosphere in the hall was palpably silent when Gao Tianyi glanced at Miss Le, saying apologetically, “Miss Le, how do you think this matter should be handled?”

Miss Le turned to look at Lin Xun. “Young Master Lin, what do you think?”

Shua!

All eyes in the hall shifted onto Lin Xun. Everyone realized that the so-called Young Master Lin Xun was the key to settling the situation.

Gao Yunkun, Wei Tianxing, the attendants and the guards all wanted to slap themselves in the face when they thought back to their attitude towards Young Master Lin.

If they knew about his importance earlier, then how would they have treated him like that?

“Leave it, this matter ends here.” Lin Xun thought it would be best to stop before going too far. He could tell that Miss Le and Gao Tianyi had some sort of relationship so he also did not want Miss Le to anger or offend Gao Tianyi because of him.

His one sentence made Gao Tianyi feel a tremendous weight off him and lit up with gratitude and delight. “Young Master, you are noble and righteous. I have to say I am impressed.”

The others also heaved a sigh of relief. They had been so worried that Lin Xun would keep to his words and demolish the Skyone Pavilion!

As for the other customers, it was an eye-opening experience for them.

However, they could not help being curious about who Miss Le was. After all, she was able to make an influential figure such as Gao Tianyi act so humbly and bow his head.

Also, who was Young Master Lin?

It seemed that Miss Le respected him greatly. Could he be a peerless genius from an ancient sect?

Miss Le would likely burst into laughter if she knew that the customers believed Lin Xun to be a so-called peerless genius figure. After all, dozens of peerless geniuses had died at the hands of Demon God Lin….

……

In the distinguished guest hall of Skyone Pavilion.

Gao Tianyi had arranged a luxurious and grand banquet to welcome Lin Xun, Miss Le and Xiaohe.

Gao Tianyi was all smiles all night and was engaged in conversations at all times at the banquet, showing not a hint of sullenness.

Lin Xun had killed one of the half-step kings that worked for him in front of everyone, yet he was now chatting and laughing with Lin Xun and the others like nothing happened. Lin Xun had to admit that he was impressed with his tactical shrewdness.

However, he could tell that Gao Tianyi cared more about maintaining a good relationship with Miss Le than the death of a half-step king!

After all, Gao Tianyi resembled a courtier meeting an empress, and he was an influential figure who controlled Jade Flame City.

In truth, Gao Tianyi felt as if he was drowning in a sea of misery. He just didn’t dare to show it.

“Do you think that Young Master Lin used my connection to intimidate other people today?” Suddenly, Miss Le’s voice rang in Gao Tianyi’s ears, startling him.

“How would I dare to?! Miss, please don’t test me. I swear that I don’t hold a grudge against Young Master Lin!” Gao Tian frantically assured, but he murmured to himself, What else was he doing if he wasn’t trying to intimidate other people?

“I might as well say it straight that if I was not present today, your Skyone Pavilion would have been demolished. Given the foundation of your Gao Clan in Jade Flame City, you likely can’t bear the wrath of Young Master Lin. As for his background, it’s best if you don’t try to inquire about it,” said Miss Le casually.

Gao Tian was stricken to the heart, realizing that the situation didn’t feel right. He said solemnly, “Thank you for letting me know, Miss Le!”

When he looked at Lin Xun again, his gaze had changed.

He knew that Miss Le came from a certain Hidden Holy Land and had a terrifying lofty status, so if she thought so highly of Young Master Lin, then his identity and status had to be more terrifying than hers.

……

After the banquet ended, Miss Le asked to talk to Lin Xun alone.

“If there is no accident, then I will leave tomorrow.” Miss Le said with a smile, “I likely won’t have time to say goodbye to you then.”

Lin Xun was taken aback, “Could you tell me your name before you leave?”

“Le Caiwei.”

Miss Le’s soft red lips curled in a ruminative smile. “I guessed that you would ask that question, so I have no intention of hiding it from you now. I come from the Skyless Sect in the Hidden Holy Land of All-Mystery Spirit Mountain. When I return to the sect this time, I perhaps won’t leave again until the great age comes.”

All-Mystery Spirit Mountains!

Skyless Sect!

Those were unfamiliar names to Lin Xun, but he could not help trembling inwardly at the word Skyless.

What kind of ancient and powerful sect would dare to use the name of Skyless?

“Don’t forget about the Great Dao Hidden King Token I gave you. After you make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings, you should consider joining a sect.

“After all, in this great age, any peerless genius who wants to reach the absolute apex of the king stage will need to do so with the support of a powerful sect.

“Otherwise, it will be very difficult to fight the tribulations by oneself!”

Le Caiwei reminded him in a serious voice, “Also, your archenemy is Yun Qingbai, who has the Omega Sword Sect standing behind him, one of the most ancient sects in the East Victory World. If you want to kill Yun Qingbai, then you will have to face the powers of the Omega Sword Sect.”

Lin Xun nodded. He had thought about this more than once before.

But for now, he had no intention of joining any sect.

“Additionally, you have to be on guard against the revenge from the Sacred Fire Sect. The Sacred Fire Sect is rooted in the Aolai Kingdom and has an astonishing background and foundation that is not inferior to those of any of the ancient sects in the world.

“I did not want to make you an enemy of this sect, but it has already happened. So, I will do everything I can to help you get rid of this potential threat in the future.”

Le Caiwei’s clear eyes flashed with a resolute glint.

“I am not worried about that. I have offended too many people already. I don’t mind adding the Sacred Fire Sect to the list.” Lin Xun chuckled.

Le Caiwei was taken aback at first, but she also burst out laughing, “I forgot that you are the famous Demon God Lin known throughout the West Infinity World.”

……

Early the next morning, an old man and a young man appeared in front of Skyone Pavilion.

The old man had a snow-white beard and hair, baby-smooth skin, and radiated an immortal bearing. He stood calmly with a horsetail whisk in his hand.

The young man had a noble and majestic appearance. His handsome face was framed with long, light blue hair, and his eyes were frightening with blazing flames swirling inside them.

Even if he was standing casually, his every movement and gesture oozed with superiority, which drew the attention of many passersby.

But anyone who eyed the young man up and down felt a stinging pain in their eyes as if they were looking directly into the blazing sun.

Gao Tianyi quickly came out to greet them, but when he met the old man, he, a powerful figure in the Jade Flame Capital and the boss of Skyone Pavilion, trembled all over and could not help but feel awe and admiration.

He was about to kneel and kowtow when the old man stopped him. “No need to be too polite, I am just here to pick up Miss, leave the fussy formalities.” His voice was gentle and calm, yet it struck the heart with such tremendous force like the sound of the great dao.

“Elder, please come inside.”

Gao Tianyi hurriedly welcomed the old man and the young man into the Omega Pavilion.

During this process, his heart never stopped pounding. He never thought that such an amazing person would be the one to collect Miss Le!

In the distinguished guest hall.

Le Caiwei was already waiting.

Lin Xun was also present. They would part today, so, no matter what, he had to see his friend off.

“Uncle Ku Jing?” Le Caiwei was also surprised to see the immortal-like old man.

“Caiwei, after receiving your message yesterday, I was worried about another accident, so I came here in person,” said the old man with a smile.

“Junior Sister Caiwei, I heard that those bastards of the Sacred Fire Sect wounded you when you took the sacred fire dao origin stone, is that right?” The young man with long blue hair stepped forward and asked with worry, “How are you? Are you better now?”

“Senior Brother Yang? Why are you here too?” Le Caiwei asked in surprise.

“When I received the message that you were injured yesterday, I wished I could rush to find you immediately, I...” The young man’s concerned gaze panned her face.

However, before he finished speaking, Miss Le interrupted and changed the topic, “Senior Brother Yang, Uncle Ku Jing, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Lin Xun. It is all because of him that I was able to cross the Boundary River and escape the Sacred Fire Sect.”

Then, she said to Lin Xun, “Young Master Lin, this is Uncle Ku Jing, and this is Senior Brother Yang Tianqi.”

“I am Lin Xun, pleased to meet you.” Lin Xun bowed with a cupped first salute. He knew that the two were also from the Skyless Sect of the All-Mystery Spirit Mountain like Le Caiwei.

Ku Jing swept his unfathomable eyes over Lin Xun. Lin Xun felt that all his secrets had been seen through at that moment.

He realized that the old man was no doubt a powerful character!

Fortunately, Ku Jing quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded with a smile. “His aura is as strong as an abyss, and his cultivation is as vast as the sea. What an amazing young man! You are destined to have a place in the upcoming battle of the great age.”

“Elder, you are over praising me.” Lin Xun was astonished once again. The old man saw through my cultivation at a glance!

“Uncle Ku Jing has already passed seven of the nine longevity tribulations, so he can be called the King of Seven Tribulations. Since he said so, it must be right.” Le Caiwei beamed.

“Hmph!”

But Yang Tianqi snorted coldly, and when he studied Lin Xun, streaks of blazing flames intertwined in his eyes. “Junior Sister Le, is this the guy who helped you deal with the Sacred Fire Sect?”

His cold voice was tinged with doubt, “But in my opinion, your friend is nothing special. Is he really so capable?”
