Chapter 1518 Making Waves

It had been just a brief moment, a snap of a finger.

But it had given Fairy Ruowu a chance to teleport away from her despairing situation.

The faces of Le Xuexiu’s group instantly clouded over.

What on earth happened just now?

They were astonished and confused.

After all, it had concerned the Law Power of time, which was a mysterious power of the highest order that even Emperors were hard-pressed to touch, let alone supreme Saints like them.

“Give chase!” said Le Xuexiu through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot as he gazed at the distant Spirit Refinement Forest.

There remained the energy fluctuation of Fairy Ruowu’s teleportation, which simply couldn’t be hidden from the likes of him.

“When we catch her, I shall trample her to death!” snapped a tall and strong-looking man shrouded in a terrifying blue thunderstorm.

They had started surrounding Fairy Ruowu at the Ice Wind Valley and chased her all the way to this place through tens of thousands of miles of land.

It had not been easy to force her into a desperate situation, but who would have thought that something so unexpected would happen?!

How could they not resent this?

“After her!”

The group of seven Saints, led by Le Xuexiu, flickered through the air.

......

“Thank you so much, Brother Lin.”

Fairy Ruowu’s pretty face was white as a sheet. As she extended her thanks to Lin Xun with a grateful expression, blood seeped out from the corner of her lips.

Obviously, her injuries were far worse than they appeared on the outside.

“Don’t talk for now. We’ll be safe after we enter that great abyss,” said Lin Xun quickly.

At this moment, he was being carried by Ruowu in the middle of teleportation.

“Good!” said Fairy Ruowu.

......

“What terrifying auras!”

“Is that...Lord Le Xuexiu?”

“Heavens! Seven supreme Saints!”

“Hahaha, our reinforcements are here! That two-legged sheep Lin Xun is dead meat now!”

Many anxious cultivators in the Spirit Refinement Forest noticed Le Xuexiu’s group as they teleported by.

This instantly lifted their spirits, and they couldn’t help but breathe out a long sigh of relief.

Previously, Lin Xun had swept and killed his way across the forest, putting numerous of their experts to death in pools of blood.

This had pushed them to the brink of collapse, not expecting at all how a mere supreme character from the Ancient Wasteland Domain could be so terrifying.

Now that Le Xuexiu and their other supreme Saints were present, they were completely fearless!

“Hmm? Lin Xun? What’s the situation?” Le Xuexiu and his companions couldn’t help but wonder after hearing so many murmurs along the way.

After all, they weren’t here for Lin Xun, but to chase after Fairy Ruowu.

However, they didn’t give much attention to this as their priority was to hunt down the current target!

As supreme Saints, they were well aware that if they let Fairy Ruowu live, then the Ancient Wasteland Camp would gain a spiritual pillar!

She was a descendant of the Vermillion Bird Lineage and a woman who had set foot on the supreme Saint path. The fact that she had been able to take on seven of them and persevere under their pursuit up to this moment was enough to prove her strength.

Whoosh!

Before long, Le Xuexiu’s group arrived at the vicinity of the great abyss, where their hearts flinched, and their faces faltered.

The bizarre and menacing aura permeating the abyss caused even supreme Saints like them to feel chills all over.

“That woman escaped into this great abyss,” said a green-robed man, frowning as he edged closer to the abyss and spread his spirit sense to probe into its depths.

Boom!

An eerie Law Power fluctuation suddenly emerged from the abyss and bombarded the spirit sense of the man in green. He couldn’t control himself from letting out a muffled grunt and immediately retreated far away.

His face was grave. “There is something odd about this huge abyss. The energy that fills its interior is capable of confining us all.”

Hearing this, the other Saints were shocked. Their eyes kept flickering.

“Look, a fierce battle took place here. Huh? Isn’t that Ding Shanhe, the honorable elder of the Golden Demon Snake Clan? He’s dead!?” exclaimed an old but healthy-looking woman in scarlet outfit as she recognized one of the corpses lying in the blood pools nearby.

“Ji Qing and the others, too. From their states, they were killed an hour ago, so it can’t be by that Vermillion Bird woman,” analyzed another person.

“Say, could it be that same person had given that woman Ruowu a hand and brought her into this abyss?” pondered someone.

Whoosh!

Le Xuexiu grabbed a distant skinny man in black clothes through the air and said, “Tell me what has happened here.”

The skinny man, who was a member of the Black-Striped Demon Wasp Clan, instantly spilled everything he knew about Lin Xun.

What ensued was a moment of stunned silence among the supreme Saints.

They had never expected that a mere character from the Ancient Wasteland Domain could have caused so much bloodshed during this period of time.

On top of that, five Saints, including Ding Shanhe, had died at his hands!

This just sounded too unbelievable. How could a supreme king of the ninth longevity stage bypass the enormous gap in strength and kill Saints?

This was near impossible even for top supreme characters from the other eight domains!

“What did you say?! Le Mujin was killed by Lin Xun?” Le Xuexiu suddenly flew into a rage and burst with murderous intent. The air around wailed under his ferocious aura.

Le Mujin was a supreme figure of his Hawk Kite Demon Clan, a heaven pride who was supposed to step onto the supreme Saint path one day!

At first, Le Xuexiu had gone to the Spirit Refinement Forest to pick up Le Mujin in order to escort him to the City of Protection, so that he could meet up with his peers and prepare for the Absolute Hell Secret Realm.

But who would have thought that Le Mujin had long been dead?!

The skinny man of the Black-Striped Demon Wasp Clan was so scared that he plopped down on the ground, his lips trembling. “My...my lord, it was the doing of Lin Xun... I...”

Bang!

How could Le Xuexiu still have the mind to listen to explanations? With a slap, the skinny man’s head burst into a splash of blood and brain matter.

Le Xuexiu’s face was livid, and his eyes were filled with seething murderous intent as he stared at the great abyss not far away. “That chick from the Vermillion Bird Lineage and that little scumbag named Lin Xun, must all die!”

Every word was stressed with the killing intent that shook the whole region.

The other six Saints were silent. They could all see that Le Xuexiu had gone into a berserk state after learning of Le Mujin’s death. No one dared to trigger him further at a time like this.

Until one of them frowned and asked, “So are we just going to wait here?”

Le Xuexiu immediately said, “No, go and capture all the Ancient Wasteland sheep you can find!”

His idea was the same as Le Mujin’s. They both planned to take cultivators from the Ancient Wasteland Domain hostage and use them to force Lin Xun out!

Like uncle, like nephew.

......

On this day, the Blood Demon Territory was shaken up.

Supreme Saintess Ruowu of the Ancient Wasteland Domain had been besieged and hunted by a group of supreme Saints all the way into the Spirit Refinement Forest!

The news made the cultivators of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain realize that in the Ancient Wasteland Domain that they had looked down upon, there were still people who were able to step into the supreme Saint stage.

This was beyond what they had expected.

The other news concerned Lin Xun, or rather, his killing spree which had created a much bigger commotion than Ruowu.

The fall of five Saints, including She Zhen and Ding Shanhe of the Golden Demon Snake Clan, and Le Mujin of the Hawk Kite Demon Clan...had all been done by the hands of an Ancient Wasteland Domain’s supreme figure who wasn’t even a Saint yet!

Who dared to believe this?

What was even more terrifying was the fact that Lin Xun had swept through the Spirit Refinement Forest all by himself and murdered numerous cultivators in cold blood despite his injuries.

What kind of monster is this man?

When did the Ancient Wasteland Domain have such a heaven-defying character?

The news quickly spread through the City of Protection, which was the Blood Demon Ancient Domain’s base camp, and raised a huge storm.

Lin Xun and Ruowu got the attention of every cultivator and all clans in the Blood Demon Territory.

On this very day, even Xue Qingyi was alerted in his seclusion. After a long silence, he gave an order.

“Tell Senior Le Xuexiu and his group that those two people must die, and that every member of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain will cooperate with them if necessary!”

The news of this order also spread later that day.

To the experts of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain, what Lin Xun and Ruowu had done to them was simply humiliation after humiliation, and they found it intolerable.

If word of it got out, they would look stupid and become the laughing stock of the other seven domains.

But more importantly, the power and skills that Lin Xun and Ruowu had shown caused them to be wary. They no longer dared to underestimate and belittle them like before.

Therefore, they all shared the same opinion as Xue Qingyi and could not tolerate seeing Lin Xun and Ruowu live!

At this time, all eyes in the Blood Demon Territory converged in the direction of the Spirit Refinement Forest.

There weren’t only cultivators from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain in the Blood Demon Territory. There were also experts from the other eight domains.

Most of them had been teleported to the Blood Demon Territory right after the opening of the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Aside from the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s cultivators who had suffered from the recent hunt initiated by the Blood Demon Ancient Domain’s cultivators, the people of the other seven domains hadn’t suffered any targeting or persecution.

When these people learned about Lin Xun and Fairy Ruowu, they were similarly astonished.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain had been weak for such a long time that the emergence of top-class elites like them was naturally mind-boggling.

When these cultivators from the other seven domains left the Blood Demon Territory, they also brought the news about Lin Xun and Fairy Ruowu to their camps.

In short, the aftermath was still fermenting!

......

In the underground palace secret realm.

After arriving and determining that there was no danger, Ruowu directly fell to the ground. Her face was as white as a sheet without a single trace of blood, and her eyes had lost their shine.

“How are you?” Lin Xun anxiously took out some divine healing pills and handed them to her.

“I’m fine.” Ruowu took the pills and chewed them. While absorbing their medicinal contents, she surveyed the surroundings and said, “I was worried that you’d fall in the Spirit Refinement Forest. Who’d think that you were hiding in this isolated secret realm?”

Lin Xun was stunned. When he realized what she meant, he asked, “Miss Ruowu, you...originally intended to come here to save me?”

Ruowu flashed a self-deprecating smile. “If I had known that you were safe, then I wouldn’t have foolishly let them chase me all the way here.”

At this point, Lin Xun completely understood what had happened and felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
