Chapter 1298 Raising Storms
Hm?
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.
His sword qi had been secretly accumulating momentum for a long time. While he hadn’t put all of his power in it, it had still been strong enough to intimidate a peak seventh longevity Supreme King.
But his spirit sense had told him that the delicate figure had only suffered a slight wound.
Bang!
The green flying sword completely nullified the Broken Blade’s attack, then emitted a clear sword hum and sped off.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Xi, Bai Qian, and Yao Li fled without dragging their feet at all.
Lin Xun was going to chase after them, but after glancing at the recuperating A’lu, he sighed in his heart and gave up on this idea.
In fact, he had no regrets because he knew that the right time frame had slipped away. Even if he went after them, he still wouldn’t be able to catch up.
“Let’s clean up the battlefield before we leave,” said Lin Xun to Toady’s group as his eyes swept around. The crowd was as quiet as a mouse, not daring to meet his gaze.
They still hadn’t returned to their senses after witnessing the shockingly bloody battle. When facing Lin Xun, there was nothing but horror in their hearts. They didn’t feel the slightest bit of courage to stand up to him.
“Let’s go!”
It didn’t take long for Toady, A’lu, and the big black bird to loot the spoils of war. They gathered with Lin Xun, and the four left the blood-soaked land together.
They didn’t dally because who knew what else could happen? Lin Xun didn’t want to gamble as he had already accomplished his goal of safely protecting A’lu.
With Lin Xun’s departure, the oppressive atmosphere also dissipated. The crowd felt like a weight had been taken off their shoulders and heaved a long sigh of relief.
However, the shock in their hearts and minds lingered for a long time to come.
“Just exactly how strong is Demon God Lin now?” someone murmured.
Many cultivators had gathered in a big army, treating A’lu as a caged beast that they could rob and slaughter at will. There had even been powerful, famous figures in the entire Upper Nine Realms such as Underworld Son and Bai Longting in attendance.
But who would have thought that Lin Xun would be able to tear apart such an army all by himself? With a crushing momentum, he had cut them down one after another and stained the entire region with blood!
“Including Bai Longting, a total of nineteen apex characters on the Genius Gold Rankings were killed. In addition to this, thirty-two Supreme Kings were killed in the battle...”
Someone conducted the statistics, and the numbers they came up with were frightening!
There were countless powerful cultivators in the Upper Nine Realms, but only a hundred could put their names on the Genius Gold Rankings.
Yet, in just a single battle, nineteen of them had died at Lin Xun’s hands!
There was no doubt that once this got out, the entire Upper Nine Realms would be washed over with a sensational storm.
“Luckily I never got involved.”
Many people secretly appreciated their own fortune, and sweated uncontrollably when they recalled the scenes of the battle. If they had jumped on the bandwagon and attacked Demon God Lin, then they would now be one of those bloody remains on the ground.
Several people analyzed Yu Xi, Bai Qian, and Yao Li in alarm, “The three people who appeared later were quite something, don’t you think? They most likely belonged to the same group that serves someone called Imperial Son!”
“Indeed. They each revealed that they were as strong as Bai Longting. It’s hard to believe that they had all remained silent before this!”
“The scariest one is probably ‘Imperial Son.’ I can’t imagine how strong that person must be to be able to gather such powerful people as subordinates. Definitely not someone simple!”
The crowd discussed with tumbling hearts.
“By the way, Lin Xun is accompanied by a God Devourer Insect King. We must report this to His Lordship!” said Yu Xi suddenly with a hint of frustration.
If it hadn’t been for that God Devourer Insect, she would have been able to kill A’lu with her spirit attack and seize the emperor’s mound fortune on him!
“God Devourer Insect...” Wanyin’s eyes lost focus as she seemed to recall many things from the past. Only after a long time did she say, “This indeed must be reported to the lord immediately!”
......
In just a few days, the entire Upper Nine Realms had been swept over by an uproar.
After two years in Stupa Brahma Land, Demon God Lin had come out and proceeded to the Ancient Land of All where he dominated an army of enemies, killed a path out of their siege, and slaughtered an array of apex characters!
This news instantly rocketed Lin Xun's reputation to an unprecedented height, sparking endless discussion and clamor.
“Killing nineteen supreme characters on the Genius Gold Rankings all by himself... He’s bloodthirsty!” Some people could feel their hearts tremble.
“With his current strength, he should be in the top three of the Genius Gold Rankings.” Many started to analyze Lin Xun’s battle prowess.
“Where is Yun Qingbai? Why hasn’t he appeared? Is he just going to watch Lin Xun develop an invincible momentum?” Those who hated Lin Xun were indignant, hoping that someone would step forward and curb him.
Regardless of the credibility of the rumored blood feud between Lin Xun and Yun Qingbai, the fact that Lin Xun had killed a bunch of disciples from Omega Sword Sect was true, and that was why these people placed their hopes on Yun Qingbai.
Unfortunately, the man in question seemed to have evaporated in the past several years. There had been no news of him, and he hadn’t even shown up when his position had dropped down from the top of the Genius Gold Rankings.
Apart from all this, the identity Yu Xi, Bai Qian, and Yao Li had also attracted the attention of many major powers.
These three had been silent, and their names had never appeared on the Genius Gold Rankings despite having fighting power that rivaled those of Bai Longting’s caliber.
It was impossible to not pay attention to this!
Who were they?
And who was the person they had referred to as Imperial Son?
It was only now did many people suddenly realize that they couldn’t focus solely on the Genius Gold Rankings, nor should they judge people based on it alone.
Because there were still many extremely powerful characters who hadn’t made a move to compete for a place on the Genius Gold Rankings.
For example, there was Lin Xun.
For example, there were also Yu Xi, Bai Qian, and Yao Li who had only recently become known.
This kept people guessing: Just how many unknown characters like them were there in the Upper Nine Realms?
......
Mythic Fire Realm, Flying Star Mountain.
When the passageway to the Upper Nine Realms had first opened, this blessed mountain had been occupied by the Golden Crow Lineage.
But after just a few years, the Golden Crow Lineage had been decimated.
Ravaged by the wars, Flying Star Mountain had long since become deserted and no longer possessed the vitality of a blessed land.
On this day, Lin Xun and his friends appeared before Flying Star Mountain.
“I remember there was an ancestral aeth vein underneath this mountain. If we find it and enhance it with a large array, it can be used as a decent blessed land for cultivation.”
Lin Xun looked up at the ruined, deserted mountain and recalled the first time that he had set foot on it. Back then, the Golden Crow Clan had been a dominant force, lofty like a sun in the sky with strong and numerous troops.
But now, after only a few years, their prosperity had gone with the wind, and all of their grand ambitions had burst like bubbles!
