The Prodigies War

On the outskirts of Mind Cleansing Peak.

A young man with bronzed skin was meditating in a lush forest. As he breathed in and out, the surrounding grass rippled up and down in a rhythmic manner.

It was a mysterious scene. A person was able to influence the movements of the surrounding plants with his qi. His cultivation had to have reached an advanced level of the Spirit Sea Stage to be able to do so.

Undoubtedly, the young man was an extremely powerful figure in the Forbidden City and a leading figure among his peers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, blades of grass floated up from the ground around the young man before they crumbled into dust inch by inch as though struck by lightning.

It wasn’t intentional. It was caused by the tremendous force generated from the taking in and sending out of qi.

“An improvement!”

Zuo Yang’s eyes sprang open and shot out two bolts of cold lightning. His aeth power rumbled vigorously within his body, seeped out his skin, and circulated his body like he was a giant furnace.

It was a symbol that his powerful cultivation foundation had reached a point of perfection!

A middle-aged man rushed over and complimented, “Young Master, you’re a genius of your generation. In just a few months, you have reached the seventh stage of the Great Sky Incineration Art. You have been completely reborn and are completely different from before.”

He was right. Zuo Yang was considered a prodigy in the Zuo Clan, and very few of his peers had better aptitude or talent than him.

Zuo Yang stood up and said indifferently, “Unfortunately, I missed Her Majesty’s birthday banquet because I went into closed-door cultivation.”

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but sigh. “Young Master, your cultivation is not inferior to either Bai Lingxi, Yuchi Ze or Song Yi. Young Master, please don’t let it affect you. You will have the opportunity to train in the Ancient Wasteland Domain in the future.”

“You also attended the birthday banquet, how am I compared to Lin Xun?”

Zuo Yang’s eyes were tinged with a hint of arrogance mixed with unruliness.

The middle-aged man’s eyelids twitched and then he said with a sneer, “How can Lin Xun be compared to Young Master? That kid has angered the imperial family, offended the influential figures of the empire, and will soon suffer from his actions. He is nothing to worry about.”

“But he defeated the Marquis of Rising Sky.”

Zuo Yang peered at Mind Cleansing Peak in the distance and said indifferently, “The reason I came here is to find out whether Lin Xun is worthy of his fame.”

The middle-aged man smiled. “You will be disappointed, Young Master. The kid has been hiding on Mind Cleansing Peak and hasn’t come out once. He’s afraid of being beaten.”

Zuo Yang scrunched his brows. “I don’t have the patience to wait any longer. Pass on my order, immediately capture anyone who walks out of Mind Cleansing Peak and hang them up at the entrance to Mind Cleansing Peak. This humiliation will no doubt force Lin Xun to emerge!”

The middle-aged man nodded and hurried away to take care of the order.

In another open area, a burly young man stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by attendants armed with all sorts of weapons: swords, spears, swords and halberds.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The youngster remained motionless as swords slashed down at him but his body sputtered sparks like it was constructed from steel. He was unscathed from the multiple attacks.

He didn’t try to mobilize any power and just relied on his physical strength and body to make himself impenetrable to any weapon!

“A bunch of trash! Do you have any strength?”

The young man’s scolding echoed like a clap of thunder.

The attendants shuddered, gathered all their strengths and continued to attack.

Showers of bright sparks continued to fly off around the young man’s body. To everyone’s surprise, he remained undamaged under the endless attacks and only streaks of white marks were left on his skin.

“Young Master Qin Xing is amazing. Very few of your peers in the Forbidden City can compare to you in terms of strength.”

A young woman’s voice sounded not far away.

Qin Xing was a genius among the younger generation of the Qin Clan. He was known to possess the innate talent of Golden Bone Body.

“Lin Zhi, I heard that you wounded a young man. If my guess is correct, that young man is a descendant of the North Light Lin Clan. That reminds me he’s a relative of yours.”

Qin Xing sent the attendants away with a wave of his hand.

The girl called Lin Zhi giggled, “Haha since the North Light Lin Clan betrayed us and joined Mind Cleansing Peak, I don’t regard them as my clansmen anymore.”

Qin Xing chuckled, “Glad you realized. With the support of our Qin Clan, your West Creek Lin Clan will receive endless benefits!”

Lin Zhi said with a smile, “I did that to anger Mind Cleansing Peak and force Lin Xun to come forward so that you, Young Master Qin Xing, can demonstrate your ability and get rid of him.”

Qin Xing burst into laughter again. “Is there any response from Mind Cleansing Peak yet?”

Lin Zhi said proudly, “I have almost crippled Lin Yunwen, how would they not do anything?”

“Aren’t you worried that doing so will make others criticize you for killing your blood relatives?”

The corners of Lin Zhi’s lips were slightly curled upwards as she said indifferently, “I’m helping the Lin Clan eradicate a pest. That bastard Lin Xun appeared out of nowhere and wanted to take charge of Mind Cleansing Peak. It’s ridiculous! Since he has occupied Mind Cleansing Peak, I will kill everyone related to him!”

Qin Xing was a little surprised to see the girl act so ruthless at such a young age.

He ordered, “Go, I’ll wait here for good news from you.”

Lin Zhi bowed slightly and took her leave.

Not long after that, Lin Zhi returned to the entrance to Mind Cleansing Peak, where groups of cultivators from the three collateral branches of the Lin Clan, West Creek, Cloud Weight and Flying Peak, had gathered.

They had been blocking the path for some time. They had been ordered to provoke and humiliate anyone who stepped out of Mind Cleansing Peak to force Lin Xun to come out.

Of course, that wasn’t all. Their real purpose was to use the opportunity to start a conflict as the Qin and Zuo clan would no doubt help to suppress the people on Mind Cleansing Peak if they dared to resist!

“Cousin.”

A young man came over to Lin Zhi and gave her a respectful nod. He was Lin Wenbao from the Cloud Weight Lin Clan.

“What’s the situation?” asked Lin Zhi.

“Nothing has happened yet.”

Lin Wenbao stated and then he said hesitantly, “Cousin, are we not too cruel? Lin Yunwen is from the same clan as us after all.”

Lin Zhi interrupted discontentedly before he finished, “I already told you that they are traitors! We must use the most brutal means on them!“

Lin Wenbao kept quiet.

Lin Zhi smiled and said leisurely, “Cousin, we have the help of the Qin and Zuo Clans this time. We will be able to regain control of Mind Cleansing Peak. This is the Mountains of Aristocratic Clans, and it represents supreme glory and status! Only we are qualified to live here!”

“As for Lin Xun and the North Light Lin Clan, they should be killed!” Her brows wrinkled with disgust.

Lin Wenbao sighed inwardly. Isn’t it too cruel to kill another of the same clan?

The entire Forbidden City knows that the Lin Family has been facing internal strife for some time, and many people view us as a joke. It would be even more embarrassing if this matter spread out!

Lin Wenbao felt very uncomfortable with killing their clan members.

However, he knew they couldn’t turn back. A bloody conflict was inevitable unless they could get rid of Lin Xun and regain control of Mind Cleansing Peak.

Lin Xun knew that Spirit Vulture was correct to adopt a cautious strategy. Presently, Mind Cleansing Peak indeed lacked the power to deal with both the Zuo and Qin Clans at the same time.

However, he knew that Mind Cleansing Peak’s situation would only worsen if they continued to do nothing!

He could tell that Spirit Vulture was waiting for him to come out of his closed-door cultivation and formulate a plan to deal with the current situation.

However, he didn’t want to wait any longer.

People were causing trouble on Mind Cleansing Peak! Lin Xun would be seen as a coward if he didn’t do anything.

“Hey, someone is coming out.”

“Hahaha, it seems like the traitors on Mind Cleansing Peak can’t sit still anymore after we took care of Lin Yunwen.”

“Stand aside. Let me take care of it this time. I didn’t get the chance to beat up Lin Yunwen before.”

The outside was filled with clamor as Lin Xun walked out of Mind Cleansing Peak.

A group of cultivators was standing not far away with mocking and arrogant looks as they rolled up their sleeves.

“Kid, are you by yourself?”

A young man in a luxurious robe rushed out and sneered, “How disappointing! Did you come out to die like Lin Yunwen did?” the others snickered.

Lin Xun ran his eyes across everyone and grinned. “I’ll give you a chance to hand over the one who wounded Lin Yunwen and then kneel and apologize and I will spare you all.”

The group of people were all from the West Creek, Cloud Weight and Flying Peak Lin Clans, but due to the backing of the Zuo and Qin Clans, they had been fearless and lawless in recent days.

Moreover, the fact that they had suffered little damage made them increasingly smug, so they couldn’t believe what Lin Xun had said.

“Who are you? Kneel!”

The young man in a luxurious robe was getting more and more restless. He couldn’t believe a teenager would dare to speak arrogantly. He stormed forward and brought his hand up to slap Lin Xun.

“Get lost!” Lin Xun snapped, his voice quaking the surrounding space and forming an invisible power. With a boom, the young man in a luxurious robe blasted into the air, smashed across dozens of feet and into the ground, whipping up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Boom!

Dark powerful energy collided within the young man’s body, causing him to be embedded into the ground. The blood gushing out from his mouth and nose made him look incredibly tragic.

“Ah—” he screamed, struggling to get up. His face was flushed with anger, his hair was disheveled and his face was contorted. “You have a death wish! Hurry up and kill him!“

He clearly had always bossed people around. After suffering such humiliation, he couldn’t wait to slaughter Lin Xun.

The nearby people looked at each other in dismay. The teenager has to be amazing if he could defeat the luxurious-robed youngster with his aura alone.

“You deserve to die!” Lin Xun spat out. His aura surged around him as he sped toward the young man in the luxurious robe.
