The Prodigies War
chapter-1198

Although Lin Xun felt that Ji Xingyao's annoyed and embarrassed appearance had a certain attractiveness to it, it wasn’t something he could appreciate at the moment.

It was because he could sense a monstrous killing intent was swiftly approaching from far away!

The intensity of it made Lin Xun slightly alarmed and realize that the number of opponents who were coming was definitely not a small number.

Moreover, there was no shortage of powerful experts among them!

"Never mind, we’ll chat again next time."

Lin Xun quickly made his decision and turned around to leave.

Ji Xingyao called out, "You..."

Lin Xun looked back. "Is there anything else?"

Ji Xingyao was momentarily taken aback before she snorted and said, "Don't you want your compensation?"

Lin Xun displayed a carefree smile. "It’s fine as long as you’re not angry with me anymore."

With these words, he disappeared into the distance.

"Pooey! Who would be mad at a stinky hoodlum like you?!" Ji Xingyao made a spitting sound. Her pretty face burned with embarrassment and anger.

It was true that bad people never had anything good to say!

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister Ji, are you and Demon God Lin..."

However, Ji Xingyao coldly interjected before he could finish, "There’s nothing between us. If you guys dare to gossip or speculate, don’t blame me for disregarding our ties as fellow sect members!"

There was clear anger in her voice.

To the others, however, it sounded like she was trying to cover up...

Ji Xingyao also noticed that everyone was looking at her in a strange manner which elicited another wave of anger and hatred in her heart.

With a deep breath, her cold and indifferent expression returned and she said, "We should also get going."

Far away, an alarming killing intent was spreading like black clouds and rapidly approaching. If they didn’t leave soon, they would soon be plagued by endless trouble.

Someone asked, "What about Jinlan Mountain?"

"Whoever wants it can take it!" Ji Xingyao's reply was very straightforward.

As such, all of them immediately left the mountain.

Midway, however, Ji Xingyao chose to separate from the group.

Mo Tianhe asked, "Junior Sister Ji, where are you going?"

"I have something to attend to."

Ji Xingyao answered without looking back. Her clothes fluttered as she swiftly disappeared into the distance like a streak of light.

"What is Senior Sister Ji going to do?"

Many people were startled and confused.

"It must be related to Demon God Lin!"

Mo Tianhe had a gloomy expression.

Rumble!

Not long after they left, King experts descended one after another in the vicinity of Jinlan Mountain like ominous dark clouds.

The group gave off an astonishing presence.

"He escaped again!"

"Abominable!"

"Continue the pursuit!"

Their thunderous roars contained endless anger and hatred and caused the surroundings to tremble.

However, Lin Xun had already ceased his invasion of these blessed land territories, and they were no longer able to find any traces of him.

To make matters worse, the other great factions in the Mythic Fire Realm were taking advantage of the situation to seize the territories that had been attacked.

As a result, Wu Lingfeng's and the others’ found themselves in an even bigger predicament.

No matter how much they hated Lin Xun, they understood that they had already lost the chance to kill him. Hence, they immediately changed their course of action to take back the territories that originally belonged to them.

……

On this day, the Mythic Fire Realm descended into turmoil, and many parties were shaken.

Someone calculated that in less than four hours, Lin Xun had single-handedly conquered a total of four territories: Flying Star Mountain, Wild Elephant Mountain, Mingcui Mountain, and Jinlan Mountain.

Moreover, each place was left flowing with rivers of blood and covered in smoke!

In less than four hours, no fewer than fifteen Supreme King experts had died at Lin Xun’s hands.

It was simply shocking!

It must be emphasized that Supreme King experts were basically the top dogs in the Upper Nine Realms who could do whatever they pleased.

To powerhouses like them, even ordinary King experts were no different from wild dogs and chickens while the cultivators who hadn’t even reached the King stage weren’t even worth mentioning.

Despite this, Lin Xun had easily killed such existences as if he was tearing apart paintings!

It was extremely shocking and terrifying to the other Supreme King experts.

At the same time, Lin Xun's retaliation operation also led to an even bigger bloody storm in the Mythic Fire Realm.

Various great factions tried to take over the blessed lands that had been conquered while Wu Lingfeng and others naturally tried to stop them, triggering a clash between the great factions!

However, none of this was of any concern to Lin Xun.

After departing from Jinlan Mountain, he headed straight back to Star Catcher Mountain. However, the mountain had already turned into a wreckage, and even its origin aeth vein had received serious, irreparable damage.

Lin Xun could only shake his head at the sight. It was a pity that such a blessed land had been destroyed, but who would be blamed for it?

Lin Xun fell into deep thought. "If A’lu and Toady have also arrived at the Mythic Fire Realm, such a big commotion would probably have caught their attention. I’ll wait here for the time being in case they come to find me..."

Although his retaliation against the Golden Crow Lineage and the other great factions wasn’t seen through to the end, he had already achieved his goal. Continuing would only place him in unnecessary danger.

After all, his enemies weren’t fools and would definitely find a way to counterattack.

However, Lin Xun didn't plan to leave it at this either.

As the saying went, if you didn’t completely exterminate your enemies, they would eventually come back for revenge.

His many years of experience had taught him that he could not afford any mercy when dealing with the enemy.

Two years had passed since he had entered the Supreme Realm, and there were still eight years left to train and grow stronger.

At the same time, there would also be more opportunities to settle his grudges with his enemies.

"Yun Qingbai has probably also reached the Supreme King stage. I wonder if he dares to come find me if he hears about what happened in the Mythic Fire Realm."

Lin Xun thought of Yun Qingbai again.

He had already decided to polish the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer Grand Dao and True Dragon Grand Dao to the peak Dao Truth stage. After which, he would find Yun Qingbai and finally settle the long blood feud between them!

Suddenly, Lin Xun sensed something that roused him from his thoughts. Slightly surprised, he peered into the distance.

Dressed in white with long black hair flowing over her shoulders like a waterfall, Ji Xingyao approached like a beautiful fairy walking out from a painting.

Lin Xun chuckled and asked, "Miss Ji, are you here to continue our chat?"

Ji Xingyao's expression was ice-cold. Electricity seemed to flash in her eyes as she glared at Lin Xun and said, "Do you think I’m here to chat?"

What an annoying guy! How can the mighty Demon God Lin be so improper?!

Without waiting for Lin Xun to reply, she went straight to the point and said, "A few days ago, I entered the Underworld River Forbidden Zone and saw a certain person."

Lin Xun began to show interest.

After all, he understood how terrifying that godforsaken place was.

But why was Jin Xingyao telling him about this?

"It was a young man wearing a green robe. He has rather handsome features, but he also looks overly proud and conceited."

Toady!

Lin Xun's heart shook. He had long suspected that Toady had also been transported to the Underworld River Forbidden Zone like himself.

Ji Xingyao’s words proved that he was right.

"However, maybe because he was too conceited, he accidentally entered a dangerous place..."

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank at those words, and he couldn't help but ask, "Dangerous place? Miss Ji, can you elaborate?"

He was a little worried. Ji Xingyao originally planned to taunt Lin Xun a little more but immediately decided otherwise at the sight of his furrowed brows and solemn expression.

She subsided her emotions and recounted how she had met Toady.

Half a month ago, Ji Xingyao had journeyed to a mysterious canyon in the Underworld River Forbidden Zone in search of opportunity.

The mysterious, barren canyon was shrouded in blood-colored mist and was extremely strange and ominous.

While Ji Xingyao was conflicted over whether she would enter, she heard a desperate cry.

After venturing into the canyon, she found a dried-up well where the cry had originated from.

This was where Ji Xingyao discovered Toady, who was trapped in the well.

He was in a very sorry state. His hands and feet were desperately clinging to the sides of the well while countless blood-colored chains wrapped around him, trying to drag him deeper into the well.

Moreover, a pale, shriveled hand was tightly grabbing his ankle, making it such that he was unable to move and could only loudly cry out for help.

Ji Xingyao originally planned to save him only to be stopped by him. He told her this was the Divine Underworld Blood Well, which was one of the most terrifying and bizarre places in the world.

At this juncture, Ji Xingyao coldly snorted and said, "He was very arrogant even while trapped, claiming that I would end up sabotaging him instead of saving him if I got too close."

Lin Xun hurriedly said, "That’s just how he is, so please overlook it. What happened next?"

Ji Xingyao offhandedly said, "I left."

"Left?" Lin Xun was taken aback.

Ji Xingyao said, "What else could I do? Stay there? But before I left, he entrusted me to deliver a message to you."

"What did he say?" Lin Xun's heart tightened.

Ji Xingyao's expression turned somewhat strange. She imitated Toady’s speech pattern and said, "He said to tell that kid Lin Xun that this king has helped him find a huge opportunity. Make sure he hurries up and comes to this king’s rescue!"

Lin Xun's expression darkened. Why was he still using such an arrogant tone when he was in such danger? Was he unafraid of death?

He took a deep breath and said, "What else?"

Ji Xingyao continued, "He stopped resisting and was dragged into the depths of the well. I suspect that there’s another world at the bottom of the Divine Underworld Blood Well."

Lin Xun was a little crestfallen after hearing this. He didn’t expect Toady to have entered the Divine Underworld Blood Well.

He took a deep breath and earnestly cupped his hands together in gratitude. "Miss Ji, thank you for informing me about this. I will definitely repay you in the future."

The information was indeed of utmost importance to him. If Ji Xingyao intentionally concealed it, it was very likely that Toady’s rescue would have been delayed!

The corners of Ji Xingyao's lips curled in an amused manner as she said, "I never realized that Demon God Lin also understands gratitude."

Lin Xun wasn’t in the mood to joke around. He said, "Miss Ji, can you tell me the exact location of the Divine Underworld Blood Well?"

Ji Xingyao replied, "That’s why I came to find you. I have a damaged scroll that has been preserved from the ancient era and contains some secrets that are likely related to the mysteries of the Divine Underworld Blood Well."

Realization dawned upon Lin Xun and he said, "So you also plan to venture there again?"

Ji Xingyao nodded. "Exactly, so are you up for it?"

Lin Xun naturally had no issue and happily agreed.
