The Prodigies War-Novel

The mention of the Scarlet Fire Gourd reminded Lin Xun that it was an invaluable ancient treasure with an extraordinary history. A drop of blood of an authority figure from ancient times was sealed inside the ancient treasure and contained the mysterious Dao truth.

Although the treasure should have been returned to Lin Xun, it was still a token of friendship for Lian Dieyi to generously return it to him.

“You’re so ungrateful and heartless. I misjudged you. Don’t let me see you again in the future…” Lian Dieyi fumed.

“If you curse at me again, I won’t help you.” Lin Xun glared at her.

He wasn’t sure how to feel as he watched her cursing like a child. It really contrasted with her image as a beautiful and sexy woman who was also a descendant of the Thousand Transformation Land.

“Huh? What did you say?”

Lian Dieyi’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Oh, I apologize for misjudging you. I didn’t think you’d care about friendship so much.”

All of a sudden, she was talking about friendship again.

“Yes, yes, yes, let’s leave here first. Those bastards will be here soon.”

Lian Dieyi’s countenance changed subtly. She rushed into the depths of the blood-colored fog with Lin Xun.

Swoosh—

Not long after they left, figures pierced the air one after another.

A bolt of serene blue thunder boomed, turning into a young maiden. Her skin was clear and translucent, and her eyes were bright and sparkling. Thunderbolts circulated her body like a waterfall.

She was Ling Zinuo, the descendant of Cloud Jade Sky Mountain, and had made a name for herself several years ago. She possessed unfathomable strength and the innate talent of Thunder Soul Jade Body.

“She escaped again.” Ling Zinuo scrunched her brows, thunderbolts flickering within her bright eyes.

“Let’s see how far you can run this time.”

A little Daoist priest appeared on the other side. An ancient sword marked with pine patterns was slung over his back, and an extraordinary aura swirled around his body. As his eyes shifted across the area, bright golden patterns flashed in his eyes.

It was Yun Ke, a descendant of the Spirit Yuan Sword Sect and an outstanding Daoist figure.

“It doesn’t feel right. She has been in contact with someone here. There is an unusual aura in the air.”

An ape figure rushed over and turned into a black-robed youth with a dark complexion and red eyes. He took a slight whiff of the air and frowned. “The aura doesn’t belong to Tie Qianhan, the descendant of the Solitary Star Sect, nor does it belong to Bai Yu, the little killing god of the Demon Suppressor Family.”

“Who could it be? Could it be Lian Dieyi’s helper?”

Yun Ke’s eyes lit up.

“I know it doesn’t belong to a descendant of an ancient Daoist sect because I remember all their auras. But this aura is very special, full of life force and amazing.”

Fighting spirit blazed around Yuan Zhan’s body like raging flames. He resembled an ape demon. The mysterious person with Lian Dieyi had to be very special to set off his fighting spirit from just a wisp of aura.

“Huh? Miss Ling, where are you going?”

Yun Ke noticed Ling Zinuo flashing into the depths of the blood-colored mist.

“I’m going to kill the demon girl and take back the Luohou secret treasure!”

Ling Zinuo had already vanished before her voice died away.

“Hmph, I told you earlier that the girl Ling Zinuo is icily arrogant. She always acts alone.”

Yuan Zhan shook his head, showing his dissatisfaction with Ling Zinuo always doing things her own way.

“It’s because she possesses unparalleled strength and the innate talent Thunder Soul Jade Body! In the Ancient Blood Wasteland, she is the only one unafraid of the demonic curse qi,” Yun Ke sighed softly.

He was also a peerless genius in the Ancient Spirit World, but he was still afraid of Ling Zinuo. She not only had a terrifying innate talent but she also was exceptionally intelligent.

“Little Daoist, don’t waste time anymore. Many other ancient sect descendants are hunting down the demon girl beside us. All of them are determined to obtain the secret treasure of Luohou. Bloody battles will no doubt break out. If you waste any more time, you won’t even get a glimpse of the treasure!” Yuan Zhan said impatiently.

“Oh, let’s go then.”

Yun Ke took a deep breath and drifted away.

“When I get my hands on the secret treasure of Luohou, I will have to find a chance to get rid of the little Daoist. Otherwise, people will claim that my Blood Divine Sect is colluding with a Daoist sect,” Yuan Zhan muttered to himself as he followed Yun Ke.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not long after they left, the earth quaked like thunderbolts had struck. A figure strode out from the blood-colored mist. It was a mighty and strong figure possessing a bare upper body with glimmering bronze-like skin.

He carried a black iron rod on his shoulders, and, with every step he took, it was as if a mountain was moving.

Tie Qianhan, a descendant of the Solitary Star Sect!

His eyes swept coldly around the area. Then, as if he sensed something, he immediately continued to charge forward.

The route he took was the same as Ling Zinuo, Yun Ke, Yuan Zhan, and the others.

“Hmph, the demon girl must be killed. How dare she steal the secret treasure of Luohou that belongs to me?!”

Not long after that, another figure appeared. It was a man in golden armor with a spear in his hand.

Bai Yu, the descendant of the Demon Suppressor Family!

Groups of cultivators appeared one after another in the deathly still but extremely dangerous mountains. All of them were amazing figures of ancient Daoist sects.

Many brought Heaven Ascension servants with them. They came in a mighty manner, breaking the silence and peace of the Ancient Blood Wasteland.

Everyone was looking for the mysterious Luohou’s secret treasure!

……

“Who is looking for you?”

“Well, let me think…Ling Zinuo, Tie Qianhan, Yun Ke, Nan Gongqing, Yuan Zhan, Feng Xiaobei…Ahh...there are too many to count.”

Lin Xun and Lian Dieyi navigated through the blood-colored fog.

“You…”

When Lin Xun learned that so many people were looking for Lian Dieyi, he couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed at her before saying, “What the hell did you do to attract so many people who want to kill you?”

Lian Dieyi sighed, “Hey, a woman’s treasure brings trouble to them. I just casually took a treasure, but they are going crazy with anger. They want to snatch the treasure and kill me! Say, aren’t they bullies?”

She lightly bit her plump, red lips. Her bright eyes were filled with hatred, and a lonely and aggrieved look crossed her beautiful face.

However, Lin Xun wouldn’t be bewitched by her act. He said with a frown, “If you don’t tell the truth now, I’m going to leave.”

Lian Dieyi hurriedly said, “Little handsome guy, I am telling you the truth. It’s just...it’s just that the treasure I grabbed is a little special.”

I knew it!

Lin Xun couldn’t help but wonder what sort of treasure could draw so much attention and make many top figures fight over it.

“I can tell you but you mustn’t covet it.”

Lian Dieyi shot a glance at Lin Xun, like a warning, but then she said, “Of course, if you and I join forces to get rid of the others, I will share the secret of the treasure with you.”

She wanted to tempt Lin Xun.

However, Lin Xun didn’t utter a word and turned around to leave. She thinks she can negotiate with me at such a time, does she think that I would risk angering so many genius cultivators for a treasure?

“Hey, hey, hey, little handsome boy, aren’t you too heartless?”

“Hey, are you really leaving? Stop! Stop now!”

“Okay, okay, come back, I was wrong, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

In the end, Lian Dieyi showed her sincerity. She finally persuaded Lin Xun to return with some secrets, but she was so angry that she wanted to tear him apart.

Anyone else would have been bewitched by her extraordinary appearance and obediently listen to her. But all her tricks were useless on Lin Xun.

Lin Xun finally understood why so many cultivators would be determined to catch Lian Dieyi and kill her.

It turned out that the treasure she took was a horn belonging to the Luohou Monster-Beast King in ancient times. It contained a world-shaking secret. Whoever solved it might obtain the supreme inheritance of Luohou Monster-Beast King!

Lin XUn trembled inwardly. An inheritance from ancient times and also from Luohou Monster-Beast King. It has to be amazing.

The Ancient Blood Wasteland was said to be where Luohou Monster-Beast King returned to tranquility. It was rumored that a divine war broke out there in ancient times. Monstrous figures surrounded Luohou Monster-Beast King, and he fell like the rain in the end. The place had turned into his burial ground.

That single Luohou horn had appeared there, and many top cultivators fought for it but it was Lian Dieyi who eventually obtained it.

After learning that, Lin Xun again realized that Lian Dieyi had to be extremely powerful since she could snatch away the treasure under the attacks of so many enemies.

“Don’t try to think about taking the horn from me.” Lian Dieyi increased her vigilance when she saw Lin Xun become quiet.

“It’s just a horn. It’s not been confirmed whether there really is an inheritance in it. I’m too lazy to grab it from you,” Lin Xun said with a smile. “Of course, if you want to share the secret with me, I won’t decline.”

Lian Dieyi smiled seductively. “Of course. After we get out of trouble, I will give you an opportunity to catch me. That’s a benefit that other people would never have.”

Her hair flowed down her shoulders like a glistening waterfall, and her huge eyes shone brightly. Her red lips were like fire, and her face was stunningly beautiful. Her mannerisms and voice were provocative, making her even more charming and attractive. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

However, Lin Xun didn’t care about all that. He said indifferently, “You should keep that opportunity for yourself. I have no interest in you.”

Lian Dieyi exclaimed in surprise, “Do you like men? That’s very unusual. If so, I can introduce you to some beautiful men. They are all great!”

Lin Xun’s face suddenly darkened as he snapped, “Do you want me to help you or not?”

She immediately became quiet.

The two chatted as they navigated through the blood-colored fog, and time passed quickly. But Lin Xun’s expression suddenly changed. He felt an indescribable sense of danger. It was as though something terrifying would soon happen in the depths of the blood-colored fog.

“Do you know where we are?” asked Lin Xun.

“I don’t know.”

The corners of his lips twitched. He thought that Lian Dieyi would be very familiar with the Ancient Blood Wasteland since she knew about its origin.

He never expected to hear such an answer.

Chi!

A strange black light suddenly cut through the blood-colored fog like a blade of lightning, aiming for the space between Lin Xun’s brows!
