The Prodigies War
chapter-1775

Nan Qiu smiled through tears, then she rolled her eyes at Lin Xun, thinking that he was just trying to comfort her.

Lin Xun also smiled. “I’m glad you’re still smiling.”

Without further ado, he took Nan Qiu out of the room.

“What are you going to do?” Nan Qiu looked confused.

“Find that despicable Mu Xiuyuan to let you vent your anger,” stated Lin Xun.

“Huh?”

Nan Qiu was flabbergasted. Is this weak and lost guy being serious?

“What?”

Nan Dong, who had been guarding outside the stone house, was struck dumb by his words and could not believe his ears. What did the pretty boy say? He is going to get revenge on Mu Xiuyuan?

“Stop right there!”

“Where are you taking Nan Qiu?”

“Argh! Is he planning to take advantage of this opportunity to abduct Sister Nan Qiu?”

Many Musang Tribe experts rushed out to surround Lin Xun and Nan Qiu when they saw them heading out of the valley.

Everyone looked displeased.

Today, the Tianxing Sword Sect and Mu Xiuyuan entrusted the Fire Cloud Tribe to come to break off the engagement. This was a great humiliation for the Musang Tribe and also a huge blow.

In less than a few days, the entire Tianqu World would treat the Musang Tribe as a laughingstock.

But at such a time, Lin Xun, an outsider, was taking Nan Qiu away. Did he think that he had a chance now that Nan Qiu’s engagement had been canceled?

“Brother Lin, let go of me.” Nan Qiu urged anxiously.

Lin Xun paused, ignoring the people around him, and looked at Nan Qiu. “How much chance do you have of getting revenge in the future by just relying on yourself and the people behind you?”

Nan Qiu trembled, and the expression on her pretty face changed indefinitely.

The Tianxing Sword Sect was the number one sect in the Tianqu World, and Mu Xiuyuan was the number one disciple of the Tianxing Sword Sect. If she wanted to get revenge on him—

Even ten Musang Tribes combined together would not be enough!

“Nonsense! How dare you insult our Musang Tribe?!”

All nearby Musang Tribe experts were outraged.

Lin Xun still ignored them and looked only at Nan Qiu. “Trust me, okay?”

Nan Qiu’s voice trembled. “Can I?”

Lin Xun laughed. “Why not?”

“You, you, you...are too arrogant!”

Many Musang Tribe experts could no longer hold back anymore and went forward to capture Lin Xun to stop him from abducting Nan Qiu away.

Boom!

Dazzling light erupted and various dao arts swept the area. A magnificent display of power!

Lin Xun still ignored them and walked away with Nan Qiu.

His robe fluttered, and he did not turn his head once, as if he had not noticed the multiple attacks coming at him from behind.

Nan Qiu couldn’t keep calm and turned pale with fright. Her heart leapt to her throat.

But the next moment, she froze.

The barrage of attacks and beams of light that flooded the sky faded like fireworks before they neared them.

“You…”

She abruptly turned her head and stared at Lin Xun. She finally realized that she seemed to have never inquired about what kind of person Brother Lin was.

In the distance, the group of Musang Tribe experts were dumbfounded, trembling inwardly. They watched Lin Xun walk farther and farther away with Nan Qiu as if they were looking at a godly being!

“Who…who is he?”

It was not until Lin Xun and Nan Qiu disappeared from their sight that someone asked aloud.

Everyone looked at each other. They only knew that Nan Qiu carried him back after she went hunting. Other than that, they knew nothing else about him.

“Hurry, go tell Ninth Uncle!”

After the devastating blow today, Nan Leipeng had been sitting in his room in a daze, looking down and dejected.

“It’s over…everything is over…”

The Fire Cloud Tribe, the sworn enemy of the Musang Tribe, would become related to Mu Xiuyuan through marriage. How would the Musang Tribe survive in the future?

At the thought of this, Nan Leipeng felt a knife was running through his heart and his face crumpled with sorrow.

“Ninth Uncle, that man took Nan Qiu away!”

Nan Leipeng was enraged by the news. What an arrogant boy!

But when he learned about what exactly happened, especially the fact that the tribesmen failed to touch a single hair of Lin Xun, a bright light suddenly flashed across Nan Leipeng’s eyes.

Could…

Could the boy be a hidden master?

Immediately after that, his expression changed to a worried frown. “This is bad! Mu Xiuyuan is the number one disciple of the Tianxing Sword Sect! But that boy plans to get revenge on him for Nan Qiu. Even if he is very strong, wouldn’t he become an enemy with the Tianxing Sword Sect after doing that?

“And if he fails…and the Tianxing Sword Sect wants to put the blame on someone…won’t the Musang Tribe be dragged into it?

“How can the present Musang Tribe withstand the wrath of the Tianxing Sword Sect?”

Nan Leipeng shuffled restlessly and shouted, “Quick, gather some people to come with me to the Tianxing Sword Sect. No matter what, we must stop that kid from doing stupid things!”

……

Space rippled as the Grand Universe Ark flew above the sea of clouds under Lin Xun’s control. Although the speed was not as fast as teleportation, the difference wasn’t huge.

Along the way, Nan Qiu was always gazing absently. It was obvious that she was very worried and uneasy.

Go to the Tianxing Sword Sect for revenge?

She had never dared to have such a thought.

The Tianxing Sword Sect was the overlord of the Tianqu World, the supreme ruler in many cultivators’ eyes!

“Miss Nan Qiu, do you know how to leave the Tianqu World?” Lin Xun suddenly asked.

“Are you leaving?”

Lin Xun explained, “Yes, I will leave after I get revenge for you.”

“Brother Lin, where…are you from?” Nan Qiu couldn’t help but ask. She felt the man in front of her was more and more hard to read.

Lin Xun thought about it before he answered, “A place very far away from the Ancient Nebula Road.”

Nan Qiu smiled. “You must be an extraordinary person if you can come here from such a far place.”

Then, she explained to Lin Xun that there was only one way to leave the Tianqu World, which was via a boundary ship.

A boundary ship could easily pass through the world barrier and once it entered the starry sky, it could safely reach other areas in the Ancient Nebula Road by following a fixed route.

A boundary ship was extremely expensive and affordable to only the colossal forces in the Ancient Nebula Road. The Tianqu World, a little remote world in the Ancient Nebula Road, would not have the ability to craft a boundary ship.

However, according to Nan Qiu, during the Battle of Tianqu Kings, a boundary ship would arrive in the Tianqu World.

At that time, important figures would come on the boundary ship to select outstanding cultivators who performed well in the Battle of Tianqu Kings and they would leave the Tianqu World together.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but ask, “Those important figures…where do they come from?”

Nan Qiu’s bright eyes gleamed with a hint of desire. “The Great Yu World!”

The Great Yu World!

It was a vast world in the Ancient Nebula Road that was ranked among the best in the starry sky.

The Great Yu World had sixteen small worlds under its control, with the Tianqu World being one of them.

The Great Yu World was home to the Imperial Yu Clan whose name was known throughout the starry sky, ancient orthodoxies with long standing histories, countless spiritual mountains and blessed lands, and endless renowned figures!

“In our Tianqu World, any young cultivators who have reached the King Stage hope to train in the Great Yu World. For example, those ranked top ten in the Battle of Tianqu Kings would be chosen by the important figures from the Great Yu World and taken away to train in the Great Yu World.

There was an irrepressible yearning in Nan Qiu’s voice.

“If I am selected to train in the Great Yu World, the Musang Tribe will also benefit greatly from it. The important figure who takes me away will leave my tribe with a Disciple True Talisman, which is equivalent to having their protection, and it would make the other forces envious.”

Lin Xun nodded with understanding.

“The Great Yu World…”

Lin Xun realized that if he wanted to find out more about the Ancient Nebula Road, he had to first go there.

It had been six years since the Kunlun Dominion came to an end, but he still had no idea where A’hu, Toady and A’lu went…

Nan Qiu suddenly let out a sigh, “But now, I don’t think I can take part in the Battle of Tianqu Kings.”

“Don’t worry, you definitely can.”

Lin Xun’s dark eyes were extremely calm. He already made a decision in his mind.

……

Snowdrift Sacred Mountain.

This was where the strongest aeth vein of Tianqu World converged, and it was also where the Tianxing Sword Sect was established. It was seen as a sacred cultivation place in the Tianqu World.

In ten days, the Battle of Tianqu Kings would kick off on Snowdrift Sacred Mountain.

At the foot of Snowdrift Sacred Mountain stood an ancient city.

During this period, many cultivators had come from far away to watch this unprecedented event.

The elite figures from the four major sects and thirteen tribes were all preparing for the upcoming Battle of Tianqu Kings.

“Have you heard that the people coming from the Great Yu World this time are influential figures from the Alchemy Dao Sect?!”

“The Alchemy Dao Sect? That’s one of the top three sects in the Great Yu World! Its foundation can be traced back to ancient times and it is home to many powerful cultivators.”

“I wonder who would be so lucky to be chosen this time...”

The city was very lively with everyone discussing the Battle of Tianqu Kings.

“Let’s not talk about that for now. Have you heard that Mu Xiuyuan, the number one true disciple of the Tianxing Sword Sect, broke off his engagement with a woman called Nan Qiu from the Musang Tribe?”

“Really?”

“It’s true. This morning, the Cloud Fire Tribe announced that Mu Xiuyuan will be engaged to Yue Jinxian, the daughter of their tribe leader!”

“Hahaha, the Musang Tribe is so unlucky. Not only is it deteriorating in strength, but now it has also lost Mu Xiuyuan, a powerful partner. Sooner or later...it will be removed from the ranks of the thirteen tribes.”

“Nan Qiu? Haha, how would an unknown woman be worthy of Mu Xiuyuan?”

The news about Mu Xiuyuan terminating the engagement quickly spread throughout the city, causing a huge commotion and exclamations.

Mu Xiuyuan!

He was the most dazzling star in the Tianqu World. How would his canceled engagement not draw attention?

Meanwhile, Nan Qiu became a laughingstock in the eyes of everyone.

“Hey, whose ship is that? How dare they?! Do they not know that flying is prohibited near Snowdrift Sacred Mountain and the city?”

Suddenly, someone noticed a treasure ship descending from the sky and hovering steadily above the city, only a few thousand feet away from the summit of Snowdrift Sacred Mountain.

“Do they want to die?”

Very quickly, many cultivators in the city were also alerted and baffled by the scene.

The action was tantamount to challenging the Tianxing Sword Sect!
