The Prodigies War

Star Catcher Mountain was surrounded from all sides by groups upon groups of cultivators.

Each group had a Supreme King in attendance, and their sky-piercing murderous intent was disturbing the air and clouds, and causing the heaven and earth to dim.

Standing right outside the mountain gate were experts of the Golden Crow Lineage, led by Ninth Prince Wu Lingfeng who was at the center of the group.

In the other areas, there were experts from Mysterious Metropolis Sect, Sea Soul Clan, Moon Worshipper Sect, Profound Light Ancient Clan, and so on.

More than a dozen major forces led by Supreme Kings were surrounding Star Catcher Mountain to the point that it was impenetrable.

This kind of situation was enough to cause anyone to despair!

“How…how did this happen?”

The pupils of Ying Tianxing’s group shrank. They stood there on the mountain looking like they had been struck by lightning, and their hands and feet went cold.

Three days ago, Lin Xun and Li Shangshui’s group left, letting them take control without any effort.

This had been a heaven-sent, joyous event. During the last three days, they had begun to regard themselves as the owners of Star Catcher Mountain.

To their shock, the mountain was besieged just three days later!

Moreover, the other party consisted of over ten major forces with over a dozen Supreme Kings!

Facing the disaster that just came out of nowhere, Ying Tianxing’s group was on the verge of collapse.

“Demon God Lin, the situation has already come to this, so aren’t you going to show yourself now?”

Wu Lingfeng’s thunder-like voice shook the area. He looked spirited in golden armor. Tall and slender, he exuded a domineering and arrogant aura by just standing there.

So they came for Demon God Lin!

Along with the rest, Ying Tianxing heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said, “Friends of the Golden Crow Lineage, Demon God Lin has already left three days ago. This place is under our control now.”

“Cut the crap! You think we didn’t investigate before coming here? We know you are his lapdogs! Still trying to fool us, you think we’re idiots?!” bellowed a crude-looking man from Sea Soul Clan, his beard and hair erecting in fury.

Ying Tianxing’s group were livid after being scolded like this, but they could only endure it and explained, “Friend, this is a misunderstanding, we’ve never submitted to Demon God Lin…”

“Shut up!” shouted a woman from Mysterious Metropolis Sect who carried a spirit sword, her face gloomy. “If you didn’t submit to him, then why did he shelter you?”

The besiegers all looked grim as their hearts seethed with rage. What do they take us for? Three year olds kids who can easily be fooled?

The besieged felt like crying. Why can’t they listen?! We really didn’t submit Demon God Lin!

Taking a deep breath, Ying Tianxing said in a low, resounding voice, “Fellow daoists, we really are not lying to you. To be honest, if Demon God Lin hadn’t been quick to escape, we would have already taken action to eradicate him.”

Unfortunately, the more he explained, the more gloomy the other party looked, feeling as if he was mocking their intelligence!

The thought that he came up with such a lame, shoddy lie was simply unbearable to them.

“Stop with your bullshit. Let me tell you, we have no intention of sparing any of you at all!” shouted the crude-looking man from Sea Soul Clan without hiding his intent. “Since Demon God Lin doesn’t want to come out, we’ll just go in and wipe out this place!”

Ying Tianxing’s group was completely dumbfounded, feeling so stifled that they just wanted to vomit blood. What the hell is this? Is this what people mean when they say ‘Mud stains on your pants will always be viewed as shit?’

“Talk is useless, these people are too stubborn, so there’s no need to be polite with them. Make it quick and demolish this place!”

Wu Lingfeng’s eyes flashed with a terrifying golden glint as he waved his hand and signaled the start of the battle.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Supreme Kings leaped out from all directions with monstrous, godly might that shook the entire area.

“Kill them!”

“Flatten this place!”

“Kill those lapdogs! How dare they treat us like idiots?! They must all die!”

Amidst of the storm of curses and shouts, the group of Kings struck out.

In an instant, their attacks created a dazzling ocean of light and swept towards Star Catcher Mountain in the center.

Facing the shocking scene, Ying Tianxing’s group went pale in the face, and their blood ran cold. How would they even block this?

Inexplicably, they all thought of Lin Xun at this moment. If Demon God Lin was still around, surely he would come to save the day, right?

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.

They could only fight!

“Everyone, we can only fight with our lives, and perhaps we’ll be lucky to kill our way out!” an enraged Ying Tianxing hissed out.

“Go!”

“Kill as many as possible!”

Surging with emotions, their eyes turned red. They knew full well that the situation was incredibly dangerous and therefore didn’t dare to delay, mobilizing every bit of their strength to fight for their lives.

A huge battle, or to be exact, a tragic killing broke out because of a misunderstanding.

Unfortunately, no one believed the honest explanation.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea…

Blood coated Star Catcher Mountain, the majority of which had crumbled. Rocks tumbled down, ancient trees snapped, and the herbs and resources on the mountain were all severely damaged.

In just a short time, the blessed land for cultivation was devastated and covered in blood.

In this battle, none of Ying Tianxing’s group survived, and the other descendants of the various clans were also wiped out!

The besiegers had come in great numbers of over a dozen major clans, wanting to completely eliminate Lin Xun and his force.

Therefore, they naturally would not tolerate anyone escaping!

Although the force on the mountain had been completely annihilated, Wu Lingfeng’s side also suffered casualties of nearly thirty percent. Two Supreme Kings had died in the fight, and the other Supreme Kings were injured to some extent.

After all, Ying Tianxing’s group had also been at the Supreme King stage, and their lethality was not to be underestimated in a desperate fight to the death.

Still, when comparing the outcome of both sides, it was good enough for the besieger side, and the situation was settled!

However, they were not happy at all.

“Lin Xun is really not here?”

After searching Star Catcher Mountain and determining that there was no trace of Lin Xun, the faces of Wu Lingfeng and the others all turned dark, nearly coughing up blood from stifling their frustration.

Their most important purpose was to kill Lin Xun!

To think that they had paid such a huge price only to kill a group of lapdogs, while the main character had unknowingly fled…

“Could it…could it be that they didn’t lie to us just now?” someone murmured, their face strangely pale.

There was silence in the arena.

Everyone else had also realized that this battle might have been a huge mistake, which was simply embarrassing.

“This damn Demon God Lin, he’s too crafty!” Some gritted their teeth. Their seething hatred could almost be seen smoking through their orifices.

“What should we do now?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone looked at Wu Lingfeng.

To come here in a large group only to make such a blunder, pay a bloody price, and even lose the lives of two Supreme Kings, but not even the shadow of the enemy could be found in the end. This…

This was a big slap in the face!

“Let’s wait a little longer. Demon God Lin might just be going out. He will definitely return when he learns of Star Catcher Mountain’s calamity.” Wu Lingfeng took a deep breath, forcibly pressing down the urge to cough up blood, and said in a low voice, “In addition, send out people to scout the vicinity for information. We just can’t return empty-handed!”

The crowd nodded, knowing this was their only option. If they returned without any success and the other cultivators knew about it, they would be the laughing stock of other groups!

But where did Demon God Lin go?

They desperately wanted to know.

……

At this moment, Lin Xun was standing in front of a lofty, vast mountain range shaped like a tiger.

On top of the mountain, auspicious light streamed and divine sunlight cascaded. From afar, it looked like a starry waterfall flowing up to the sky.

Like a hungry tiger, the mountain continuously engulfed the rolling aeth qi between heaven and earth.

A layer of obscure forbidden power shielded it from the outside world’s prying eyes, making it impossible to see what was happening on the mountain.

But even so, the extraordinary scene on top was already astonishing.

“What a good place!” Lin Xun’s eyes shone.

Three nights ago, he had left Star Catcher Mountain, bid farewell to the Yin Fire Sect and Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain, and gone his separate way.

And then after bouncing around in the Mythic Fire Realm, crossing mountains and studying various areas, he had determined the location where his enemy forces were stationed.

This aeth mountain in front of him, named Flying Star, was the territory of the Golden Crow Lineage!

After looking at the mountain for a short while, Lin Xun withdrew his gaze and started moving. The restrictive power covering it was no longer able to stop him because he had figured out the method to solve it.

“Stop! This is the territory of the Golden Crow Clan. State your purpose!”

There were several experts guarding the mountain entrance. Upon seeing Lin Xun approaching, they immediately raised their voices and questioned him.

“You don’t recognize me?” asked Lin Xun.

The guards were stunned, and then their eyes widened like they had seen a ghost. They couldn’t believe that the person loathed by their entire clan just suddenly appeared here.

“Should…shouldn’t you be in Star Catcher Mountain?” one of them asked foolishly.

The others also looked dumbfounded.

After all, their Ninth Prince Wu Lingfeng had summoned over a massive army to wipe out Star Catcher Mountain and Demon God Lin in one fell swoop.

But now, Demon God Lin had actually appeared on their territory!

A guard gasped and asked in a trembling voice, “What do you want?”

“Revenge, of course.” Lin Xun smiled faintly.

Poof!

As his words echoed, a wave of his sleeve robe sent out a blazing light. Unable to react in time and dodge, the guards were obliterated on the spot.

With his hands behind his back, Lin Xun leisurely stepped into the mountain gate.

Buzz!

The King dao restrictive formation covering the mountain suddenly rippled.

However, the terrifying power still could not hinder Lin Xun at all, who looked like he was taking a walk in the park.

“Outrageous! Who are you?! How dare you trespass on Flying Star Mountain?” shouted an alarmed cultivator on the way.

Lin Xun didn’t even spare them a look. A Hornless Ice Dragon suddenly streaked out from under his feet and swallowed the person in one bite, as easily as eating a small bug.
