The Prodigies War
chapter-1461

The flood of blood-colored light that suddenly covered the sky was neither eerie nor terrifying, but instead created a sacred, magnificent, and splendid atmosphere.

The white ox shuffled restlessly, and its hooves wildly trembled. Ancestor Blood Lotus frowned and patted its head to calm it down.

Thousand Feather Sword Flower swayed uncontrollably, endlessly circulating its sword qi, seemingly afraid.

Wu Jiuzhong and the others all feel their hearts beating faster. That aura…is beyond terrifying!

“Another has come…” Zhao Yuanji sighed to himself, looking glum.

Zhao Tailai and the others were all grim-faced, and an unshakeable gloom hung over them.

Only Lin Xun opened his eyes wide, a little surprised and a little stunned.

It’s him?

A blood-colored moth fluttered in the blood-red sky.

His delicate body was light and agile as if he was sculpted from the most perfect blood-colored jade in the world. A beat of his wings sent the nearby space silently collapsing into a frightening black hole.

He looked small, but his aura felt like that of the ruler of the universe, enveloping the world and oppressing everything within it!

Lin Xun looked confused and stupefied.

Back when he had first stepped into Mulberry Woodland, he had encountered the blood-colored moth.

He would never forget that an epic battle had broken out between the blood-colored moth and a white cicada above the Ice Snow Sacred Tree just because he had wanted to save him.

“Why did you come? Let me tell you, you don’t need to intervene in this battle. We will end it!”

On the white ox, Ancestor Blood Lotus spoke coldly, showing his hostility towards the blood-colored moth.

Wu Jiuzhong and the others kept silent.

The blood-colored moth’s aura was too terrifying, even as Quasi-Emperors, they felt uneasy and a terrifying pressure.

The blood-colored moth whirled in the air. His figure was swift and ethereal, and he said in a unique rhythm that made it appear confident, elegant, and calm, “I’m here just to repay a favor to an old friend.”

“Repay a favor?” Everyone was taken aback.

Immediately, whether it was Ancestor Blood Lotus, Wu Jiuzhong or the others, their faces clouded over. They watched the blood-colored moth stand in front of Lin Xun...

“Don’t tell me you want to protect that little thing.” Ancestor Blood Lotus’ voice was terrifyingly cold.

“Why not?” The blood-colored moth’s voice was calm.

Those two words took everyone aback. Their expressions dramatically changed. They never thought that the blood-colored moth would side with Lin Xun!

The moth was a terrifying existence that could threaten Ancestor Blood Lotus. His presence would no doubt add another uncertainty to the situation.

Even Zhao Yuanji and the others were surprised by the change of situation. They were Quasi-Emperors who were extremely knowledgeable and experienced. But even if they racked their brains, they would never think that a blood-colored moth, whose aura caused them to shiver with fear, would actually appear and stand next to Lin Xun!

Actually, at that moment, Lin Xun was still in a stupefied state as if it had completely taken him by surprise.

“Do you really want to become our enemy? You should know what serious consequences there will be!” Ancestor Blood Lotus’s voice grew increasingly cold, as if aggravated.

“There’s no harm in giving it a try.” The blood-colored moth appeared incredibly calm and radiated a relaxed, leisurely, yet confident charm from beginning to end.

After he said that, he turned to look at Lin Xun. “If you trust me, then give me the No-Nonsense Bow.”

Lin Xun looked blank for a moment before he quickly took out the bow.

The blood-colored moth had already saved his life once when he first came to Mulberry Woodland, and now he had chosen to side with him. He had no reason not to trust him.

The blood-colored moth took a deep look at him and said nothing else.

Buzz!

The No-Nonsense Bow suddenly produced a wave of a peculiar buzz that stirred the nine heavens, and its white skeleton body became enveloped in a terrifying ferocious aura, as if it was cheering with excitement, eager to drink blood!

“No-Nonsense, we finally meet again…” The blood-colored moth’s voice was tinged with a hint of sorrow.

Immediately after that, his wings vibrated, and he soared into the air. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a man dressed in clothes as bright and beautiful as snow and with a celestial demeanor. His blood-red hair fluttered in the air, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

He felt like a powerful overlord marching across the sky, exuding a bearing superior to everyone else.

Buzz!

In his slender hand, the No-Nonsense Bow emitted an even more terrifying aura than usual, causing the nearby space to rumble and explode.

Lin Xun trembled inwardly. In the past, the No-Nonsense Bow had never displayed such terrifying power in his hands.

Even when it was wielded by Zhao Xingye, its power could not be compared to now!

The blood-colored moth who had taken the form of a red-haired youngster in white said calmly, “Whoever wants to fight, just come out.”

That one sentence sent anger thrumming through the veins of all the Quasi-Emperors.

“Fei Lan, stop messing around!”

Ancestor Blood Lotus stood up from the back of the white ox. Murderous intent flared around him, and the blood-colored lotus leaf above his head glowed an intense blood-color.

“I think he is determined to go against us!” Thousand Feather Sword Flower remarked. “In my opinion, stop wasting time talking to him and just get into action.”

Buzz!

Suddenly, the white-clad man called Fei Lan raised the No-Nonsense Bow and a fierce arrow shot out.

Lin Xun only felt a stinging pain in his eyes; he could not even see what happened.

All he could hear was a deafening rumble and a scream of fright and rage.

When his vision returned, he saw that one of Thousand Feather Sword Flower’s petals was pierced and about to wither!

Wu Jiuzhong and other Quasi-Emperors looked grave, their eyes blazing with fear.

It was just an arrow but Thousand Feather Sword Flower was already wounded!

Unbelievable.

Zhao Yuanji and the others looked just as aghast.

They all saw the scene just now very clearly. The arrow had wounded the opponent from a distance away; it was terrifyingly fast and incredibly ferocious.

Despite Thousand Feather Sword Flower doing everything he could to neutralize the attack, the arrow still pierced and wounded him!

In the high altitude Fei Lan uttered indifferently, “Do you want to get into action? I can kill you first!”

Wielding the No-Nonsense Bow, his aura was overwhelming and threatening.

It should be mentioned that he was facing a group of Quasi-Emperors, yet he showed not a flicker of fear. His superiority made Lin Xun feel a surge of emotions.

At this point, Ancestor Blood Lotus, Wu Jiuzhong and others were completely certain that Fei Lan was determined to help Lin Xun and the others!

This made things tricky for them all.

If a battle broke out, the outcome would be unpredictable!

After all, in addition to Fei Lan, there were also the seven terrifying creatures around Lin Xun, as well as Zhao Yuanji and the others. Not a single one of them was easy to deal with.

“Annoying!” Ju Tianxing gritted his teeth and felt a tight feeling in his chest.

Originally, there should not have been so many variables at all; they were only one step away from killing Zhao Yuanji.

But unexpectedly, everything changed following the arrival of Lin Xun, whom they saw as an insignificant ant.

First, Zhao Yuanji and the others got out of a difficult situation.

Then, Fei Lan appeared and did not hesitate to become their enemy!

The situation had developed completely out of their control, becoming unfavorable and disastrous. How could Gou Tianxing not be mad?

And he deemed Lin Xun the cause of everything!

It was precisely because of his appearance that Zhao Yuanji and the others were able to get out of the difficult situation, and it was precisely because of him that Fei Lan appeared to protect him!

Not only Gou Tianxing, but Wu Jiuzhong and the other Quasi-Emperors also looked annoyed and livid, hating Lin Xun to the core for messing up their plan.

Worst of all, Lin Xun was just a young man who had yet to reach the Saint Stage. They would not even glance at him in ordinary times.

But it was him that made a group of Quasi-Emperors land themselves in a very passive position, and even felt the urge to vomit blood.

Clang!

In that tense atmosphere, suddenly, a bell rang in the majestic, ancient palace behind them.

That noise resounded in everyone’s heart, sounding even more sacred and solemn.

At the same time, the closed palace door slowly opened, and endless dao light poured out from behind the door.

An auspicious and peaceful atmosphere filled the entire world amidst the heavenly sounds of nature echoing between heaven and earth.

“That…”

Everyone, friend or foe, was palpitating. Is it finally time to unveil the mystery of the great opportunity?

Hua—

Multiple divine arches of dao light emerged from the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps and rose into the sky.

Swoosh!

Before Zhao Yuanji could react, he was enveloped by a divine arch, and he vanished from the spot.

The scene stunned many people.

Immediately, Ancestor Blood Lotus roared out, “Damn it, he is the first one to be selected to enter the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace!”

Everyone was immediately reminded of that, in the very beginning, Zhao Yuanji’s aura had resonated with the aura of the palace.

It was also because of that that they treated Zhao Yuanji as an enemy and could not allow him to live.

But they never imagined that scene would happen!

They could not even do anything to stop it.

Suddenly, Ancestor Blood Lotus, Wu Jiuzhong and the others looked the worst they had been.

Lin Xun and Zhao Tailai glanced at each other with a look of astonishment. It was indeed a surprise.

A bell rang, and the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace awakened from silence, and then Zhao Yuanji, who was originally trapped here, was the first to be selected so he disappeared from the spot.

No one expected that to happen!

However, before a smile formed on their faces, divine arches of light continued to shoot out from the stone steps, enveloping several Quasi-Emperors and taking them away.

Ancestor Blood Lotus, Thousand Feather Sword Flower, Wu Jiuzhong, Gou Tianxing and others, as well as other scary beings, all disappeared one by one.

“Wait for me to come back to return your treasure.”

Even Fei Lan, who was hovering high in the void, only had time to say a few words to Lin Xun before he also disappeared.

Before Lin Xun could react, Zhao Tailai, the empress and the principal of Qinglu Academy had all been taken away one by one by the divine great dao light.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The many other horrifying creatures who were watching in the dark raced over as fast as possible. As soon as they got close, they were also taken away by the divine light and vanished from sight.

After just a few seconds, Lin Xun was left alone at the entrance to the majestic ancient palace.

Accompanying him was the group of terrifying creatures. They had been silent and still all this time. Strangely, despite possessing strength belonging to the Quasi-Emperor stage, they had not been selected!

Lin Xun stood in a daze.

A scene of simmering tension that was about to boil over had instantly collapsed and ended silently.

He did not know how to react.

After a while, he raised his head and stared at the majestic ancient palace, a wry smile twisting his lips.

In the end, all those old guys went in, and I was the only one not selected, so I’m left standing here…

Isn’t that too unfair?
