The Prodigies War

Chapter 851: Prey

The Zhongli Clan!

An ancient and illustrious clan in the West Infinity World that was on par with the ancient sects.

Zhongli Wuji was the current saint of this amazing clan, and he had long made his name in the West Infinity World for his terrifying power. He was a peerless fierce character among the younger generation.

A while ago, when Lin Xun had only just risen to fame in the West Infinity World, Zhongli Wuji had announced to the world that he would be the first to step forward and kill Demon God Lin if he dared to show up at the Dao Lantern Festival!

Now, although Zhongli Wuji hadn’t come yet, his clansmen rushed here on the so-called Black Jade Dragon Elephant to intervene in the matter!

The sudden change surprised the entire audience, and they raised their eyebrows one after another.

Even the genius talents present couldn’t help frowning. They never imagined that the Zhongli Clan would interfere and even command Sha Liuchan to give up on the chance to kill Demon God Lin!

Obviously, Sha Liuchan, who was already in a bad mood, was furious to be obstructed like that. Furthermore, when he heard the strong stance of the Zhongli Clan, his eyes flashed a cold light, but before he could respond, another change happened.

A clear cry reverberated across the nine heavens and echoed through the audience. Shortly after that, a group of men and women came speeding over on a huge divine Blue Luan.

This group of people was even more overbearing than the Zhongli Clan. The Blue Luan swooped over the heads of the onlookers before it landed on the battlefield.

Many cultivators frowned in annoyance, finding the behavior insulting and disrespectful, but when they realized the identity of the group, their expressions dramatically changed and they dared not utter another word.

The Blue Luan Clan!

It was one of the top five clans in the West Infinity World, a behemoth clan not inferior to the Zhongli Clan in any way!

“Fortunately, it’s not too late. We are still one step ahead of Zhongli Wuji.” As a melodious voice rang like a wind chime, a young maiden strode down the Blue Luan’s back. She was dressed in all blue with her hair drawn up in a tight bun accentuating her beautiful face.

She was stunningly beautiful and also very young, but her expression was cold and haughty. She exuded pride and confidence as she walked, which made many people dare not to make direct eye contact with her.

Qing Lian’er!

The cultivators’ expressions changed once again. She was the current saintess of the Blue Luan Clan who was known for her extraordinary talent and remarkable aptitude for cultivation. Her name had already shaken the world as early as a few years ago.

Many people in the West Infinity World believed that Qing Lian’er had the foundation to be on par with Ji Xingyao, a successor of the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms!

But there was no question that Qing Lian’er was a peerless genius figure. She was superior to both Sha Liuchan and Zhongli Wuji in terms of fame and reputation alone.

The moment that Qing Lian’er arrived, she swept her icy gaze over Lin Xun and a smile touched her lips, showing her undisguised pride.

She spoke calmly and leisurely, “Are you Lin Xun who is regarded as Demon God Lin by the world? Very good, you finally showed up. I said before that I am going to make you kneel in public to repent for your sins and admit that you are not worthy of your title. Did…you know?”

No one in the audience hadn’t heard about that since it had shaken the entire West Infinity World a while ago.

However, those words were tinged with contempt and intent to humiliate Demon God Lin.

Now, she repeated those words to Demon God Lin in front of so many people. Many cultivators trembled inwardly. She was too direct and made no attempt to disguise her mocking.

Lin Xun chuckled and then looked Qing Lian’er up and down. “So you are Qing Lian’er? You really are a bitch!”

Everyone’s eyes went wide. Jaws dropped open. They almost couldn’t believe their ears.

Qing Lian’er might have been very rude and attacked Demon God Lin as soon as she arrived, but Demon God Lin was no pushover. He directly counterattacked with an insult!

Even the corners of the genius talents’ lips twitched imperceptibly. Who in this world would dare to insult the current saintess of the Blue Luan Clan like that?

Bai Lingxi smiled. She knew what Lin Xun was like. Back when he was in the Ziyao Empire, he also forced the Marquis of Rising Sky to kneel. What else would he not dare to do in this world?

Calling someone a bitch was nothing to him.

However, the successors of the Longevity Land thought otherwise. They scrunched their brows in disgust, thinking that Lin Xun’s choice of words was too vulgar.

But they forgot what Qing Lian’er said just now was more insulting and filled with undisguised mocking!

The beautiful eyes of Qing Lian’er shone with a cold, menacing light. She was called a bitch in front of a huge crowd of people, something which she never experienced before.

She was the current saintess of the Blue Luan Clan. Ever since she started cultivating, she was treated like the moon in the sky and worshiped by countless people. She always got what she wanted and always enjoyed high praise wherever she went. When had she ever been insulted like this?

“It seems like you have a death wish!”

Murderous intent surged up in Qing Lian’er’s heart like a monstrous wave. As she lightly stepped forward, frightening divine light spread outwards from her slender figure.

She had decided to kill Lin Xun as revenge for the insult!

“Wait a minute!”

At that moment, the members of the Zhongli Clan who came riding on the black jade dragon elephant shouted and obstructed her.

“Demon God Lin is a target of my young master. Miss, can we ask you to back down and wait till he comes?” A fierce young man spoke out.

His name was Zhongli Kui and he was also an outstanding figure from the Zhongli Clan.

“How dare you! Even if Zhongli Wuji was here in person, he wouldn’t dare to speak to me like that. You’d better step aside now!” Qing Lian’er fumed, her clear eyes flashing like violent lightning and the qi around her intensifying.

“Blue Luan Clan, we came before you so why do we have to move?” They refused to back down.

“Enough!” Sha Liuchan suddenly thundered.

His expression was ice-cold, his long blue hair began to pulsate and his voice was filled with intense anger, “Who do you think I, Sha Liuchan, is? How would I let you take the prey that I am eyeing? Get out of the way!”

Instantly, the expressions of Qing Lian’er and the members of the Zhongli Clan turned dark. Then, they all snorted coldly.

“Shut up! Do you think the Ocean Shark Clan is qualified to compete with our Zhongli Clan?”

“Sha Liuchan, I advise you to not get involved in this matter!”

A fierce murderous rage filled Sha Liuchan’s eyes. “Are you talking to me?”

The nearby cultivators watched the three quarrel and threaten each other back and forth with dumbfounded looks.

What a scene! The fierce characters of three major forces, the Blue Luan Clan, the Ocean Shark Clan, and the Zhongli Clan all want to be the first to kill Demon God Lin, and a dispute arose because of this!

It’s obvious that they regard Demon God Lin as their prey and won’t allow other people to take it away.

Even the genius talents watching on the sidelines found the situation very unusual. They never expected such a thing to happen.

On the ninth floor of the Four Seasons Pavilion, the Longevity Land successors gloated, “Look, he’s a rat that everyone is chasing down the street!”

Bai Lingxi ignored them. She had a frown of concern etched on her beautiful face.

She realized that Lin Xun’s situation didn’t look too good. He is treated like prey by three different clans, he...must be very angry, right?

But she was most concerned about the fact that many peerless geniuses in the Four Seasons also regarded Lin Xun as a target and could intervene in the matter at any time.

“It is the tallest tree in the forest that always gets its top blown off by the wind first. Also, Lin Xun comes from the lower domain so he has no backing, which means he is a perfect target for many peerless genius figures because they won’t need to deal with any consequences and troubles afterward...” Bai Lingxi guessed the reason why everyone wanted to suppress Lin Xun.

She was certain that if Lin Xun came from a prestigious sect or clan, those guys wouldn’t dare to provoke him so brazenly!

Ultimately, Lin Xun rose to fame too fast. Even if he was powerful, he lacked an impressive background that would deter the world.

“It’s too difficult for a single person to rise in the Ancient Wasteland Domain where countless ancient sects and ten thousand clans existed...” Bai Lingxi sighed inwardly.

In all these years, how did Lin Xun survive by himself?

How hard did he have to work and how many enemies did he encounter and how many heavy blows did he have to suffer to get here?

No one knew!

……

The atmosphere was tense and pervaded with murderous intent.

Qing Lian’er, Sha Liuchan, Zhongli Kui, and the others were threatening each other and making no secret of their strengths. The standoff terrified many onlookers.

Meanwhile, many looked at Lin Xun with pity. Demon God Lin is unlucky. He is being treated like prey. It’s so pitiful.

“It’s over for Demon God Lin. His situation doesn’t look optimistic at all. As they say, it’s hard to defeat four hands with two fists. What’s more, in addition to Sha Liuchan and Qing Lian’er, Zhongli Wuji may appear at any time!”

Bai Fengliu watched on with an anxious look. He didn’t want to see Lin Xun being suppressed before the Dao Lantern Festival started.

Yue Jianming took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “I’ll go help him!” Several peerless talents had directed their spearhead at Lin Xun and fought over him like he was their prey. They all went too far!

“Don’t make any more trouble!” Bai Fengliu hurriedly stopped him. “What’s the difference between rushing out there now and throwing away your life?”

“It’s so noisy! Shut up!”

In this chaotic and tense situation, Lin Xun finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

As he was speaking, he soared into the air with a flash and ran his black eyes across the audience like threatening lightning.

“Do you want to die? Come up here together then!” he uttered coldly, his voice echoing like a clap of thunder.

Instantly, it fell utterly silent and still.

The cultivators of the ancient sects, the experts of the aristocratic clans, and the genius tenants all shifted their gazes onto Lin Xun who was hovering in the sky.

The youth was dressed in a moon-white robe that complemented his flowy black hair. His cold eyes shot out sparks of lightning, and his voice resounded like rumbles of thunder. He exuded superiority and confidence like a demon god from the ancient legends looking down at the world.

All the cultivators were astonished. Under such a situation, Demon God Lin remained so bold and fearless and even intended to deal with all the enemies alone. His courage alone was enough to make anyone admire him from the heart.
