The Prodigies War

Chapter 1379: The World is Unpredictable

Chapter 1379: The World is Unpredictable

Fierce flames raged.

The nauseating stench of blood saturated the air. On Emerald Cloud Peak there were only scenes of misery and devastation as if it was a purgatory. Shrill screams, furious roars, sobs, and wails rang out one after another.

It was a scene of carnage.

The Qin Clan, one of the seven high clans of the empire, met with calamity tonight!

Lin Xun stood in midair, his expression neither sad nor happy.

This enmity had been dragged on for far too long. This time, he wanted to put an end to it all.

Shua!

With a flash, he vanished into the darkness of the vast night.

The Zuo Clan and the Qin Clan cant possibly turn things around now, but those accomplices...even if they are exemptible from the death penalty, they cant escape punishment. Tonight, I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget!

Lin Xun strolled in the void, his dark eyes unfathomably cold.

His spirit sense was released like a tide, spreading in every direction, presenting the great Forbidden City to his mind.

Before Lin Xun came here, Spirit Vulture had provided Lin Xun with a list of accomplices who had played a role in attacking the Lin Clan over the years.

At this moment, the list appeared in Lin Xuns mind.

The Xue Clan of the Forbidden City, Xue Tianren, the head of the Xue Clan and a vassal of the Qin Clan. Three years ago, on the frontier battlefield, he abused his power and commanded the burial of three hundred members of the Lin Clan under a military order.

Hou Taizhen, the head of the Hou Clan of the Forbidden City and a vassal of the Zuo Clan. Eight years ago, in a battle against an army of monster-beasts, he caused the death of one hundred and fifty-four elites of the Lin Clan.

Hong Xing, the head of the Hong Clan of the Forbidden City. One year ago, he seized nine mines from the Lin Clan.

Forbidden City

Information about the enemies, including their background and status, flashed through Lin Xuns mind.

They were all accomplices!

But Lin Xun didnt care about exactly what they had done to the Lin Clan.

For him, anyone who dared to touch the Lin Clan had to pay the price.

That night was full of killings!

The lion built its prestige from catching prey, but who would pity the poor elk?

In the world, the weak were always prey to the strong. This was the law of the jungle.

Lin Xuns heart was filled with hatred. He had to avenge his clan and so he had to kill. Kill every single one of them. Kill until the world was turned upside down!

He had to kill until all the powerful, influential forces were scared witless and would never dare to be an enemy of the Lin Clan!

In short, it was better to be hated by everyone than for no one to know their name!

Each one of the seventy-two peaks of the Mountains of Aristocratic Clans was occupied by an influential force, and the weakest still wielded power of a mid-level aristocratic clan.

They represented the strongest powers of the Forbidden City in the Ziyao Empire, and their people could be found all over the empires territory. Many citizens of the empire could only obey and look up to them.

The Xue Clan of the Forbidden City was one of the mid-level aristocratic clans.

Cloud Shadow Peak.

The main hall of the Xue Clan.

Xue Tianrens eyebrows knitted together in a worried frown. I just received a message that Lin Xun was spotted in the Forbidden City.

All the senior members of the Xue Clan had gathered in the hall. They looked perplexed, wondering why they would be summoned so late at night.

But when they heard the name Lin Xun, they immediately narrowed their eyes. The head of the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan, whose name had shaken the Forbidden City, had returned!

How is that possible? Everything has pointed to the fact that the boy can never return again! If hes really back, then why hasnt there been any news about it? argued someone, refusing to believe the news.

Head of the clan, where did you hear it from? someone questioned.

He Yanqiu, rune master of the Rune Master Association, stated Xue Tianren.

Hmph, that old man He Yanqiu is known to bluff. Can we believe him?

Many people spoke out.

Xue Tianrens frown slowly relaxed. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have overreacted.

So what if Lin Xun returned?

Even if the sky collapsed, the Zuo and Qin Clans would hold it up!

Xue Tianren couldnt help but smile.

Pu!

A beam of sword qi rushed into the hall like a waterfall and instantly slashed his throat and took off his head.

The smile was still hung on his face, which made him look even more disturbing and terrifying.

The sword qi vanished right away.

In the hall, the atmosphere turned heavy and silent. The senior members of the Xue Clan all watched wide-eyed as Xue Tianrens head tumbled to the ground. A feeling of fear flooded them.

Whatwhat is happening?

Forbidden City, Hou Clan.

Hou Taizhen, the head of the Hou Clan, was anxiously waiting for news. He had sent someone to the Qin Clan to discuss the benefits that the Hou Clan would receive after the destruction of the Lin Clan.

But what came for him in the end was a beam of sword qi.

A sword descended from the sky and beheaded him without any effort!

Forbidden City, Hong Clan

Following that, the clan leaders of different clans in the Forbidden City suffered the same fate. Every clan leader who wielded the power of the clan was beheaded.

A total of nineteen clans in the Forbidden City were affected, of which six were mid-level aristocratic clans and thirteen were lower aristocratic clans.

As long as they had targeted the Lin Clan over the years, Lin Xun would not let any of them off.

All this was completed in a quarter of an hour!

Theres still nine clans

Under the cover of darkness, Lin Xun put his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, and strode across the void like a celestial, leaving no trace.

Tonight.

He was ready to go all in to kill!

Meanwhile, the news about the catastrophe that had befallen the Zuo and Qin Clans spread in the night of the Forbidden City at a terrifying speed like a landslide.

As some of the most high-profile high clans in the Forbidden City, the Zuo and Qin Clans had met with catastrophe one after another. How would this news not spread like wildfire?

For ordinary people in the Forbidden City, this night was no different than usual.

But to the major forces at the top, this night was beyond terrifying.

The Chi Clan.

As one of the high clans in the city, they almost immediately received news about what happened to the Zuo and Qin Clans.

Bang!

A cup slipped out of Chi Lingxiaos hand and shattered on the ground.

His face was ashen as he sat there petrified. After a long while, he still did not snap out of the shock.

As the head of the Chi Clan, he had always been cautious about revealing his emotions on his face, but this time, he lost control of himself.

Next to him, Chi Cangmeis pretty face was also pale and her eyes lifeless.

The moment she heard the news, she was so shocked that her blood seemed to freeze, and she thought it was a dream.

He single-handedly launched a bloodbath in two high clans and beheaded old monsters of the King Stage one by one

After a long while, Chi Lingxiao muttered, Is he...really the same boy from back then? His voice trembled uncontrollably.

Father, the news is true, Chi Cangmei said in a low voice.

I never saw it coming. I havent seen him in more than ten years, but the ant has transformed into a dragon and stirred up chaos across the Forbidden City tonight...

Chi Lingxiaos emotions churned uncontrollably like the sea.

He crushed even the Zuo and Qin Clans with ease. Who could stop him if he turned up at the Chi Clan?

This thought sent a shudder down Chi Lingxiao. He shouted, Hurry, gather all the elders and ancestors in the clan! Only then did Chi Cangmei realize that her father, who would never bat an eyelid even if a mountain collapsed before him, could also lose his head out of fear...

Before long, a group of king stage old monsters and influential figures of the Chi Clan gathered.

When they learned what happened to the Zuo and Qin Clans, everyone was terror stricken, unable to compose themselves.

In the hall, panic broke out.

All of it felt very unreal to Chi Cangmei. There are times when these big shots would also be scared, worried, and panic.

The shock and panic did not end there.

News came one after another.

What? The head of the Xue Clan was beheaded?

Even the head of the Hou Clan was also killed?

The Hong Clan, Chu Clan, Xu Clan, Xing Clan...The leaders of a total of nineteen aristocratic clans have been beheaded?

At first, everyone in the Chi Clan was aghast. In the end, they all looked numb and lifeless.

The atmosphere in the hall was no longer noisy or chaotic, but instead bizarrely silent, stifling and depressing.

The king stage old monsters all froze, their souls leaving their bodies.

The high and mighty influential figures were all pale-faced and terrified out of their wits.

The struggle for power in the Forbidden City had its own rules.

No matter how they competed and fought, it was rare for someone to start a bloody conflict.

For example, it was unheard of that someone, in one swoop, could storm and slaughter two high clans and then behead dozens of clan leaders of various other clans!

It was too crazy!

One person went on a killing spree alone. Did he want to destroy the world?

Wewhat should we do?

After a long while, Chi Lingxiao asked in a hoarse voice, breaking the silence of the hall.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Everyone knew that, in recent years, the Zuo and Qin Clans had joined hands to oppress the Lin Clan and even tried to annex the Lin Clan. Recently, the Lin Clan had even been charged with treason.

If everything went as they planned, then soon, the Lin Clan would have been utterly destroyed.

But now, this had been reversed!

Lin Xun suddenly appeared and solved the predicament by himself. In one swoop, he crushed two high clans, the Zuo and Qin Clans, slaughtered several king stage experts and influential figures, and caused a bloodbath!

Undoubtedly, even if the Zuo and Qin Clans survived this, their names would be removed from the Forbidden City!

In recent years, our Chi Clan has not participated in the operation against the Lin Clan, so we should not need to worry, uttered someone in a low voice.

Dont forget that when that kid first came to the Forbidden City, our Chi Clan sent forces to assassinate him under the orders of the ninth prince Zhao Jingzhen. Although we failed in the end, that created bad blood between us.

Some people were still worried. If the kid held a grudge because of that, our Chi Clan will also be targeted!

Everyone was chilled to the core again.

In the end, Chi Lingxiao took a deep breath and made a decision. No matter what his stance is, our Chi Clan must show enough sincerity to resolve this grudge from back then.

His voice was resolute and resounding. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the Lin Clan in person, no matter what demands Lin Xun makes or what compensation he wants...we will meet them!

Everyone sighed in their hearts. The Chi Clan was going to suffer a huge loss this time

But it could not be helped. The world was unpredictable!

Who would have thought that a youngster could turn so terrifyingly strong after disappearing for more than ten years?

In this world, power was always king!
