The Prodigies War
chapter-1090

A Saint from the Omega Sword Sect had come out of closed-door cultivation!

This matter could not be kept secret, and the Omega Sword Sect also had no intention of hiding it.

This was because they had suffered too great of a blow this time that badly tainted their reputation and urgently needed to wash away the shame.

“It’s Fang Lingsu, the sword Saint who ascended the Saint Dao three thousand years ago!”

Very quickly, confirmed news spread out and astonished the world.

Fang Lingsu was an incredibly dazzling Saint. He already caused a huge sensation when he became a Saint three thousand years ago, attracting countless old monsters from other ancient sects and clans to the Omega Sword Sect to watch the ceremony!

“It’s been so many years since he became detached from worldly affairs. I never thought that Master Fang Lingsu would be dispatched because of Demon God Lin!”

Many cultivators trembled inwardly.

The emergence of a Saint was a sensational matter!

“Rumor has it that this is related to the Omega Sword. This Saint treasure was left by the founder of the Omega Sword Sect and must not be lost. But this precious sword is believed to be subdued into the Star Chess Sea by Demon God Lin.”

“Come on, let’s all head to the Star Chess Sea to take a look. It’s been so many years since we’ve seen a Saint. I’m curious to know what kind of storm will arise from this!”

The appearance of a Saint became the focus of attention of the entire world, and all discussions and conversations centered around Fang Lingsu.

But not long after that, another shocking piece of news came out—

“Saint Miaohua from Heaven Axis Holy Land came out of closed-door cultivation. She left the Ancient Blue Province and is now heading for the Star Chess Sea on a divine bird chariot!”

Miaohua was a Saintess who stunned the world as early as thousands of years ago!

The world was shaken upon hearing the news and erupted in uproars.

Countless cultivators were flabbergasted.

Another Saint has set off?

What did Demon God Lin do that could trigger even Saints to leave their sect?

But before the world could recover from their shocked disbelief, news came out one after another, setting off an unforeseen storm that caught everyone by surprise.

“Saint Daokun from the Spirit Treasure Holy Land is enraged and vowed to kill Demon God Lin as a warning to others!”

“Saint Xuetu from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan came out of closed-door cultivation...”

“The Longevity Land…”

“The Azure Sea Sect…”

Old monsters of the Saint Stage set off from their sect one after another, horrifying the entire world. Demon God Lin had sparked the wrath of the Saints!

The appearance of one Saint could already cause a stir in the world.

But now, a group of Saints were dispatched at the same time, all targeting a young man called Demon God Lin. This was an unprecedented situation!

Someone sighed, “Based on this fact, even if Demon God Lin meets with disaster in the end, he should die without regrets. After all, who among the younger generation can incur the wrath of a group of Saints?”

“Saints are ignoring their status and identity and went to deal with a junior! This is just bullying!”

“Ahh, it’s so difficult for a person to rise alone without any backing! Demon God Lin is so remarkable, but now he has to face the anger of several saints. How would he...survive?” Someone was worried for Lin Xun.

The entire world was stirred up. Many Saints had shown up in the world because of Demon God Lin. How could the ancient sects and clans remain calm? Their attention was immediately drawn to the matter.

……

“Despicable!”

Xiao Qinghe, who had just returned to the Moon Sun Sacred Palace, shook with rage when he heard the news, but his anger was replaced by powerlessness once he calmed down.

Several Saints had been dispatched! Even if he wanted to help, there was nothing he could do!

Even if he requested the sect for help...would anyone be willing to go against those Saints for an outsider?

His heart was filled with a fog of sadness. For the first time, he became so troubled and helpless just to save his friend!

……

When Zhao Jingxuan heard the news, her heart ached inexplicably and her pretty face turned ashen. “You all will suffer from karma sooner or later!”

She knew that she was not strong enough to do anything, so she did not hesitate to leave the sect and return to the lower domain to seek help from her parents.

But before she could leave, the higher-ups of the sect obstructed her and ‘invited’ her to the rear of the mountain and cut off her contact with the outside world.

She was stricken to the heart!

……

Thud!

The ancestral land of the Ye Clan in Crape Myrtle Mountain.

Ye Chen kicked open the closed door of the great hall.

“Old Ancestor, if you keep avoiding me, I am going to demolish your residence!” Ye Chen yelled aggressively.

In the distance, a group of senior members of the Ye Clan glanced at each other with wry smiles.

They couldn’t understand why Ye Chen would be so furious and anxious because of Demon God Lin.

“Old Ancestor, are you not going to come out? Then I will destroy these precious flowers of yours!”

Clatter and clang filled the hall.

Outside the great hall, the higher-ups of the Ye Clan looked worried and stressed. But when they wanted to stop Ye Chen, a middle-aged man said aloud, “He practices following the heart. No one can stop him!”

“Oh, I remember that this pot of Divine Light Floating Plant was a token of love when you were young. Since you refuse to show yourself then I have no choice but to smash it to pieces!” Ye Chen mumbled in the hall.

“Stop!” Outside the hall, all the senior members of the Ye Clan panicked.

At that moment, an angry voice scolded, “Little bastard, are you on a high from bullying your old man?”

Accompanied by the voice, a suffocating pressure of the Saint Path suffused the hall.

Old Ancestor!

The senior members of the Ye Clan all breathed a sigh of relief and left tacitly.

In the hall, an old man with a scruffy beard and hair and a figure like a lonely pine tree on a cliff appeared in front of Ye Chen, still fuming.

Ye Chen said fearlessly, “Old Ancestor, just tell me if you will help or not!”

The old man snapped, “No one can help with this; we can only let that boy solve it himself.”

“Then, I’m going to smash this pot!” Ye Chen raised the flowerpot in his hand.

The old man grabbed the flower pot in a panic and thundered, “Because of Demon God Lin, little bastard, you don’t even respect your ancestor anymore!”

Ye Chen sighed melancholically, “I cultivate by following my heart. If I don’t follow my heart, then it will only block my path of seeking the dao. This is a demon within. Old Ancestor, do you want to watch my cultivation path end here...”

“Bullshit demon within! You’re just bullying an old man like me!” The old man was hopping mad.

Ye Chen sighed again as if he was disappointed and disheartened, and then he turned around to leave.

The old man’s lips twitched and he grumbled, “If you leave like this, then I won’t help out at all!”

Ye Chen abruptly stopped and his entire face lit up. He bowed respectfully to the old man and exclaimed, “Thank you so much, Old Ancestor. I knew you are righteous and kind and will not allow injustice to happen in the world!”

The old man spat out, “Don’t talk nonsense! Get down to business!” His expression grew serious as if he had transformed into another person. He looked so dignified and majestic that it compelled people to feel awe!

“Chen’er, if you trust me, then just sit back and watch everything unfold.”

A frightening light flashed in the depths of the old man’s unfathomable eyes. “From what I see, Lin Xun is not someone with a short lifespan!”

Ye Chen frowned. “It’s different this time. A group of Saints are targeting him together! He has yet to reach the king stage, he can’t possibly survive this!”

The old man shook his head. “The more you are concerned, the more entangled you are. Ever since you became friends with Lin Xun, I have been paying attention to him. When you returned from the Immortal Forbidden Land, I read that boy’s fortune using the Little Crape Myrtle Predestination Art.”

“Old Ancestor…” Ye Chen’s expression dramatically changed.

Little Crape Myrtle Predestination Art

It was a taboo technique that deduced fate and heavenly secrets. Every time it was used, it would bring tribulation to the user, ranging from damage to their dao path to severe heavenly punishment!

The old man interrupted Ye Chen with a wave of his hand and said with a smile, “I watched you grow up, and I have never seen you value anyone of your generation so highly. The fact that you are so concerned about Lin Xun’s situation shows that you truly regard him as a friend. Since that’s the case then shouldn’t I try to deduce his destiny?”

All sorts of emotions rippled across Ye Chen while his heart tumbled. He opened his mouth as he tried to overcome the waves of emotions but no words came forth.

The old man clapped him on the shoulder. “Just follow your heart and that is enough. Back then, I also practiced following my heart, but then something was blocking it and prevented me from truly following it. As a result, I have been stuck in the Saint Stage all these years.

“But you are different. I hope that you can become the first person in our Ye Clan to set foot onto the Saint Path by following your heart!”

Ye Chen nodded solemnly. “I won’t let you down!”

The old man laughed heartily, “Let’s not talk about this, do you know what I have deduced about Lin Xun’s destiny?”

Before Ye Chen could answer, the old man spewed out, “The hidden dragon lurks in the abyss, moving only when disaster strikes!"

Every word dispelled and cleared Ye Chen’s mind of worries and anxiety like the sound of the great dao.

But he still couldn’t help asking, “Then does that mean he will be fine this time?”

The old man shook his head. “The hidden dragon may turn into a trapped dragon so it’s hard to say for definite, but I can tell you that it is not easy to kill a hidden dragon in the abyss. It’s very likely that...”

“Very likely what?”

The old man’s expression changed strangely. “Chen’er, if you trust me then just sit and watch the storm gather!”

Ye Chen was about to ask something when the old man vanished from the spot.

He no longer pestered him because he sharply sensed a deeper meaning within the old ancestor’s words.

It seems...like this tribulation may turn into something else!

“As long as Lin Xun doesn’t die, it doesn’t matter whether he is a hidden dragon or a trapped dragon, but if he dies...”

Ye Chen’s eyes turned ice-cold as he gritted his teeth. “Then I will turn the world upside down!”

He strode out of the great hall.
