The Prodigies War

Chapter 1273 Successors of Skyless Sect

A few days passed and the number of cultivators gathered outside of Tragic Death City did not reduce but instead increased significantly.

But very few people dared to recklessly enter.

They all waited.

Everyone could tell that the city was extremely mysterious. Sometimes, it was like a holy legendary city and other times it was like an ominous ghost town.

How would there not be any fortunes or treasures in there?

However, after the experts who mustered up the courage to enter the city had failed to survive, the crowd of people gathered outside the city did not dare to take action.

Boom!

Suddenly, a violent quake startled everyone and drew their attention.

In the distant city, the billowing black fog receded and the eerie aura that enveloped the city also rapidly dissipated.

“This is our chance!”

Many people’s eyes lit up.

“Charge!”

Many experts could not wait and raced into the city.

Instantly, the place turned to chaos.

In the midst of this chaos, Lin Xun and the big black bird returned from the city along the same path they came at an incredibly fast speed.

The big black bird couldn’t help but ask, “These few days…what have you been doing?”.

Lin Xun thought of Senior Brother Xuan Kong and an expression of profound sorrow clouded his face. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

The big black bird sensed that Lin Xun was not his usual self and did not ask any more questions.

Just as they reached the city gate, someone exclaimed, “Hey, it’s that man and bird who entered the city a few days ago! They’re not dead!”

Instantly, Lin Xun and the big black bird noticed that some eyes that swept over them glinted with suspicion.

The two ignored them and headed directly towards the city gate.

This seemed very strange to the other cultivators.

Everyone else was racing into the city to hunt for treasures and opportunities, but the two went in the opposite direction and seemed to plan to leave as quickly as possible!

“Friend, did something happen in the city? Why don’t you stay a while and talk to us?”

A scrawny man blocked the city gate, eyes flashing.

Bang!

The scrawny man was sent propelling across the air with blood trickling down his mouth and nostrils. Lin Xun had sent him flying before he could even react. All he could do was scream tragically.

“He brought it upon himself!”

The big black bird snorted. Lin Xun is clearly in a bad mood but he still provoked him. Does he not want to live anymore?

The scrawny man gnashed his teeth and roared maliciously, “Hurry, stop those two, they must have obtained some unspeakable benefits in the city!”

In truth, he was not sure. He only said that to pass the misfortune onto Lin Xun.

Sure enough, the other cultivators were tempted.

Everyone else was rushing into the city, but those two were in a hurry to leave. According to others, the two had already entered the city a few days ago so how would they not have made some harvests?

it was hard not for people’s imagination to run wild!

“Some people are following us.”

After passing the city gate, it did not take long for the big black bird to notice other cultivators tailing them secretly, and clearly with bad intentions.

“No need to pay attention to them. Lead the way, we will go find Ancient Buddha Son.”

Lin Xun did not turn his head back once. Of course he sensed their presence, but he did not care.

The big black bird nodded.

An ice-cold voice rang out, “Friend, please wait a minute. We want to learn about the situation in the city from you. I hope you can give us some advice.”

The words and tone sounded very polite, but it was followed by a tremendous fire-red net descending from the sky to trap Lin Xun and the big black bird!

It was the doing of a black-robed youngster. He clearly had an extraordinary background and exceptional combat prowess. A group of servants closely followed him around.

Lin Xun did not look back or dodge. Instead, a veil of light enveloped him like a layer of sharp blades.

With a crash, the fiery-red net was shredded apart and light rained down.

But this did not frighten the black-robed youngster. Instead, he sneered out loud, “I didn’t realize you’re a skilled master. But do you think you can leave after destroying my treasure?”

Before the voice faded, he sped headlong in Lin Xun’s direction and a jade green sword slashed through the air, creating a thousand foot long trail of sword qi that blazed like a jade-colored sun.

Lin Xun stopped abruptly, his dark eyes turning terrifyingly cold.

As he turned around, he stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion.

The green sword qi crumbled inch by inch like a snake that had been struck at its vital point, turning into a shower of jade-green light.

The black-robed youngster’s pupils shrank, and he felt a chill run down. Knowing the power of his sword, he was aghast that the opponent could crush it so effortlessly.

This proved that the opponent was far stronger than him!

Run!

Without hesitation, the black-robed man turned to flee.

A cold intent gleamed in Lin Xun’s eyes, and with a flick of his hand, the body of the black-robed youngster exploded thousands of feet away and reduced to a shower of blood.

He vanished like a puff of smoke in the blink of an eye!

The black-robed youngster’s subordinates stood petrified, their souls almost leaving their bodies. Their greed had caused them to anger a terrifying enemy!

“Whoever is dissatisfied can try to catch up!”

Lin Xun ran his black eyes over everyone, but that glance was enough to strike terror into the hearts of even cultivators hiding in the shadows. Everyone tensed up and were chilled to the core.

When his voice fell, Lin Xun continued onwards.

The scene of the slaughter of the black-robed youngster was like a warning, and no one dared to follow him anymore.

Rumble!

Before long, the Tragic Death Land, the grand ancient city, collapsed and vanished into thin air.

Instantly, it sparked commotion.

A place of fortune and treasures disappeared before they had the chance to explore it!

Lin Xun did not look back, but the sorrow deepened in his heart. He knew that he would likely never see his senior brother Xuan Kong ever again in his life...

Buzz!

A strange blue treasure ship suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xun and the big black bird like it had teleported.

“Is it them?”

On the treasure ship, a young man in silver stood with a calm and indifferent expression, studying Lin Xun and the big black bird.

He was bathed in silvery divine light that accentuated his bright, dazzling eyes and extraordinary bearing.

Next to him stood a man in a gray robe who was sweating profusely. He stammered, “Yes, it’s them. A few days ago, I saw them enter the mysterious city.”

Bang!

The silver robed man propelled the man in gray robe far away with a wave of his sleeve like he was getting rid of a fly.

Witnessing the scene, Lin Xun and the big black bird immediately understood what was going on. Those people wanted to intercept them and snatch their treasures.

The big black bird was so infuriated that the anger coiled in his stomach. Ever since entering the city, apart from some alpha qi, he had gained nothing else!

But now, he was being targeted and treated like a lamb to the slaughter. How would he not be furious?

“Kid, are you trying to mug us?” said the big black bird in a cold voice.

The silver robed young man corrected him indifferently, “Mug? No, that’s too extreme. I just want to ask you two to offer what you have found in the city to me with both hands.”

He was thin and not too tall, yet he still had an intimidating and imposing bearing. He completely disregarded Lin Xun and the black bird.

“Offer them to you?” The big black bird cackled angrily, “How dare you try to act dumb in front of me?”

On the blue ship, a pretty woman in beautiful attire proclaimed haughtily, “Our young master is Xue Zhixian, a successor of the Skyless Sect. I advise you not to be rude, otherwise you are going to bring trouble upon yourself!”

Their young master, born with an innate battle spirit body, was exceptionally talented and had now reached the fourth longevity tribulation. Once armed with his sword, he was invincible, and countless peers had been killed at his hands.

Now, he was a well-known longevity influential figure in the Upper Nine Realms after achieving brilliant results and ranking thirty ninth on the Genius Gold Rankings!

Not anyone could make it onto the Genius Gold Rankings.

This was especially true in the current Upper Nine Realms. The top one hundred on the Genius Gold Rankings all possessed supreme strength of the third longevity tribulation stage or above!

Their young master was undeniably one of the most powerful figures in the Upper Nine Realms!

“Skyless Sect?”

Lin Xun frowned. He remembered that Le Caiwei, whom he had a good relationship with, was from the Skyless Sect of All-Mystery Spirit Mountain.

“It’s not too late to be afraid now. I advise you to quickly present your offerings and perhaps my young master will go easy on you and forgive you this once,” said the pretty woman in a triumphant voice mixed with disdain.

“Ridiculous, do you think we would be afraid of him? How arrogant of you to say he will forgive us once. You better get lost before we get angry!” The big black bird’s face darkened.

“You guys should know Le Caiwei. She and I are friends. Out of respect for her, I won’t bother arguing with you. Now, get out of my way!”

Their obstruction and threats only worsened Lin Xun’s bad mood, and if it was not for his old friend Le Caiwei, he would have vented those negative emotions on them long ago.

“Huh? Did you say you know Le Caiwei?”

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from the treasure ship, followed by a figure walking out of it.

The man had a noble and handsome appearance and a dignified and imposing bearing. His hair was a pale blue color, and his eyes were swirling with wisps of blazing flames.

He only stood there causally, but he exuded a sharpness that seemed to be saying he was above the world!

The pretty woman quickly stepped aside and bowed. “Senior Brother Yang, we didn’t mean to disturb you.”

But Senior Brother Yang ignored her. Instead, his gaze immediately was fixed on Lin Xun as soon as he appeared, looking a little surprised.

“It’s you!” His countenance grew cold.

At the same time, Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, recognizing the man, and said calmly, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

The man was none other than Yang Tianqi!

Lin Xun had met Yang Tianqi years ago when he was crossing the boundary river to get to Jade Flame City in East Victory World with Le Caiwei.

At that time, Yang Tianqi appeared with an old man called Ku Jing to take Le Caiwei back to the sect.

However, Lin Xun had an extremely bad impression of him.

He would never forget that he suddenly attacked him just because he found the sight of him annoying. Adding to that, he stated that he only wanted to test his strength but his every strike was merciless.

If the old man Ku Jing had not interfered, then Lin Xun would have given him a lesson he would never forget in his life!

Funnily, just as they were leaving, Yang Tianqi sent a voice transmission to warn him.

Lin Xun still remembered those words of undisguised threat.
