Chapter 741: Although He Left, His Reputation Remains

Omm!

At the center of the 7th army camp, an ancient teleportation array that had been inactive for a long time released a cryptic undulation.

Luggage in tow, Lin Xun waited in front of the array with a group of empire cultivators.

It was almost time to leave.

As he recalled his experiences in Blood Kill Battlefield, Lin Xun could not help but feel a little emotional.

He was definitely returning in the future!

……

“Young Master Lin, take care!”

In the distance, numerous empire cultivators were reluctantly sending them off.

“Founder Lin, you must come back and visit when you can.”

With Grandmaster Ying at the head, the rune masters of the military workshop were also present to bid their farewells.

“Hahaha, don’t worry about the road ahead, and go and do what you want! Brother, when I grow tired of life on the battlefield, I’ll come to find you for a drink!”

Lu Wenting laughed loudly and took a swig from a bottle of wine before passing it to Lin Xun.

“There will definitely be a spot for Brother Lin in the great dao battle. I only hope that we will have the chance to meet again.”

Even the usually silent Yan Feng spoke up at this moment as he earnestly looked at Lin Xun.

A warm feeling swelled in Lin Xun’s heart as he looked at their faces one by one. These were comrades he had gone through thick and thin with and fought shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield!

However, when Lin Xun’s gaze reached Zhangsun Lie, the general displayed an annoyed expression and impatiently waved as he was chasing away a fly. “Hurry up and scram. Don’t come back to cause trouble for me. Ever since you appeared, I think my head has swollen a size bigger from the constant headaches.”

Everyone immediately burst out into laughter.

Lin Xun could not help but feel somewhat embarrassed although he soon began to laugh as well.

The teleportation array activated, so they couldn’t tarry any longer. After all, all of the supplies and new recruits from the Ziyao Empire had to go through this array too.

“Everyone, farewell!”

Lin Xun cupped his fists together before he stepped into the teleportation array with the other returning empire cultivators.

“Farewell!”

In the distance, the crowd also cupped their hands together.

Goodbyes were always inevitable. No one knew when they would meet again or if they would even have a chance to.

This made many cultivators feel somewhat anxious.

Because those who have seen death numerous times on the Blood Kill Battlefield understood better than anyone the meaning of goodbye!

The corners of Zhangsun Lie’s lips twitched as if he wanted to call out to stop them, but in the end, he kept silent and vigorously waved goodbye.

Where’s A'bi?

As the teleportation array began to stir, Lin Xun could not help but feel somewhat dazed because he had yet to see A'bi.

“That’s right, given her character, she won’t come to send anyone off.”

Meanwhile, in a certain room in the camp, A'bi was alone. Her fingers were interlocked together in front of her chest which heaved in an uncertain manner. She appeared to be rather restless.

Outside the window, the sound of people bidding their farewells rang out in the distance, making her grow increasingly anxious and conflicted.

Should she go and see him one last time?

A'bi bit her lip. In the end, she abruptly jumped to her feet and rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.

When she rushed out the door, however, the teleportation array was already empty. There was no sight of his figure.

Has he left already?

A'bi shook as disappointment surged within her.

“Little gigolo…don’t be so nice to women in the future. They are easily touched and will keep thinking about how good you are. Then, it will become too difficult for them to forget you…”

After a long time, A'bi mumbled to herself as tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

……

On this day, the passageway from the Blood Kill Battlefield to the empire was opened, causing many scenes of farewell to play out in the eight empire camps.

Meanwhile, new faces and recruits were also endlessly dispatched to the Blood Kill Battlefield.

A new batch would replace the old one. On the empire’s frontlines, the battles would never stop as long as the enemies were alive!

“Newbies, look here. This is the Military Merit Ranking! The names on it belong to the most famous people in our camp.”

“This list represents supreme glory, but you guys should also understand that every piece of glory is always accompanied by endless blood and tears.”

An old soldier had brought a group of newly arrived cultivators to see the camp’s Military Merit Ranking.

“Who is Lin Twelve? He only has Heaven Ascension cultivation, but he’s rank three? That can’t be correct, right?”

A gasp drew the newcomers’ attention and soon left them in disbelief.

Nearly all of the top hundred rankers were top Cyclic Derivation experts.

As for the top ten, nine of them were older-generation Half-Step King powerhouses, making the last person, ‘Lin Twelve,’ stick out even more.

Because he was the only person with Heaven Ascension cultivation among the top ten. What was more stunning was that he was ranked third!

The sight of the newbies' stunned expressions made the older soldier chuckle.

These newbies have a long way to go.

Soon after, he faked a cough and leisurely explained, “Remember, do not judge Lord Lin Twelve by appearance. He is different from all of the Heaven Ascension experts you know. In fact, it would take more than an entire day for me to recount his legendary feats. I can only tell you guys that…”

The old soldier’s deep voice was filled with sincere respect and a strong sense of pride.

The initially somewhat skeptical recruits soon found themselves enthralled. Their hearts beat in excitement as the dazzling figure of a young heaven pride was gradually painted in their heads.

A long period of time passed before the old soldier finally finished off and said, “Alright, let’s leave it at that. You guys will have time to learn more about Lord Lin Twelve’s past in the future. Come on, I’ll show you guys the military workshop. Oh, right. I forgot to mention that Lord Lin Twelve is also a rune founder. Isn’t it unbelievable? Hahaha, you guys should see stupefied looks on your faces…”

The old soldier laughed as he led the recruits to the workshop. Of course, there wasn’t any maliciousness on his part because his reaction had been far worse when he first heard about it.

“There will always be many talents from every generation. Lin Twelve, I will break all of your records and take your spot on the Military Merit Ranking!”

Among the group of recruits, a thin youth looked back at the Military Merit Ranking with never-seen-before determination.

The youth was called Ye Fan. It was…a pretty good name.

In fact, many storytellers in the empire would often name the heroes of their stories Ye Fan…

……

On that same day, the Brute camps were also receiving many recruits like the empire camps.

“Milord, who is Lin Twelve and how can he be ranked third on the Blood Wanted List? After all, he’s only a Heaven Ascension youngster. Isn’t that ranking far too high for someone like him?”

“Ridiculous! Who the hell is this Lin Twelve? There’s no way he should be regarded as such a high-threat individual!”

Upon seeing a certain name on the Blood Wanted List, the new recruits exploded in indignation and disdain.

The expression of the Brute expert leading them immediately turned ugly and conflicted. After a long time, he gnashed his teeth in anger and roared, “All of you shut up!”

The recruits immediately fell silent.

The Brute expert jabbed at Lin Twelve’s name and said with a noticeable pause between each word, “All of you had better carve this name into your heads! He’s the one who brought us endless shame, so he is an enemy we must eliminate at all costs!”

The recruits immediately realized that the human youngster called Lin Twelve was no ordinary individual!

The Brute expert ultimately did not elaborate on Lin Twelve’s accomplishments because it was far too shameful, unbelievable, and would probably deal a heavy blow to the recruits’ morale.

“You guys will learn what this name represents in the future.” In the end, the Brute expert sighed and left.

Lin Twelve was a demon god-like youngster who was rumored to be leaving the battlefield today. Despite this, it would still take some time for the dark shadow he had cast over the Brute camps to be erased…

Although Lin Xun had only spent half a year in the Blood Kill Battlefield, he had swiftly risen to fame out of nowhere like a comet and became a dazzling superstar of the Blood Kill Battlefield!

Everything that happened to him was nothing short of miraculous, and it wasn’t going to be easy to erase the influence he left behind.

However, all of this was no longer of any concern to Lin Xun.

……

The empire, Giant Watchtower City

It was one of the outer cities that protected the Forbidden City. Hence, it was managed by the military and the empire’s most elite armies were stationed here all year round.

In the southwest sector of Giant Watchtower City lay a camp that encompassed an area of at least two hundred acres.

On this day, the teleportation array that connected to the Blood Kill Battlefield began to operate with a loud rumble.

A group of empire generals solemnly stood nearby. Their stern and serious expressions caused the originally peaceful atmosphere to become somewhat heavy and stifling.

Omm!

The teleportation array opened, and empire cultivators began to walk out amidst a cryptic buzzing noise, which immediately caused a commotion in the vicinity.

The generals secretly breathed sighs of relief. The safe opening of the passageway and the sight of empire cultivators safely returning from the battlefield was clear proof that the situation in the Blood Kill Battlefield was pretty good.

Lin Xun walked out from the teleportation array and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. He breathed in, tasting the faint traces of aeth qi in the air, which made him feel as if he was in a completely new world.

Blood Kill Battlefield had been a barren land void of aeth qi and instead filled with the smell of darkness, killing, and danger.

It was impossible to not feel emotional upon returning to the familiar land of the empire.

I’m back!

Lin Xun spat out a breath of murky air as he felt a strong impulse to return home to Mind Cleansing Peak.

Although he had only been away for half a year, it had felt far longer than that. He wondered how his friends and family had been over the past year.

In the distance, a familiar figure approached with large steps. His bold and loud laughter arrived far before him, “Welcome back!”
