The Prodigies War

Chapter 322 Murky Atmosphere

Boom!

The door to the main hall was kicked open, and a gust of cold wind rushed in. Everyone inside froze, and their expressions dramatically changed.

They thought it was an enemy attack.

The most ridiculous sight was when a man accidentally bit the plump breast of a woman in a panic and made her scream sharply.

Lin Xun ran his eyes across the hall and saw nothing but a mess. The stench of alcohol saturated the hall, and all the men and women reeked of alcohol and were all scantily dressed.

A grand hall had been pervaded by a foul and murky atmosphere.

Calmly, Lin Xun walked into the hall in huge strides.

Seeing a teenager break down the door alone, the men and women all reddened with anger and cursed out loud.

“Kid, do you have a death wish?! How dare you break into the Lin Family’s Mind Cleansing Peak!?”

“How dare you! Where did this madman come from?”

“Lin Zhong, Lin Zhong, get over here right now. Do you want to be killed? How could you let anyone into Mind Cleansing Peak? Do you know the rules?”

Lin Xuns expression remained unchanged as he watched on, but Lin Zhong was sweating profusely as he tried to explain, “Young masters and young ladies, this is...”

“Shut up, I don’t want to hear your explanation!” A woman in a red dress rose to her feet in anger and scolded Lin Xun, “Bastard, this is the Lin Family’s residence. How dare you act outrageously here? Get down on your knees and apologize!”

She raised her hand and swung her arm to slap Lin Xun.

What is outrageous?

This is! Regardless of who you are, since you dared to trespass, I’m going to hit you first!

PA!

However, before the woman in the red dress neared Lin Xun, he had already lashed out with a slap. Screaming, the woman flew across the air, her hair disheveled and her face swelled up like a stuffed bun.

“You—!” The woman crouched down and screamed like crazy.

“You have a death wish!”

A man slammed the table and pulled his sword out of its sheath. He brought it down at Lin Xun’s head with all his strength.

Lin Xun didn’t retreat but instead took a step forward. He thrust his hand forward and clutched the opponent’s sword. Then he lashed out with a front kick to the man’s stomach.

The man hunched over and flew into the air before landing heavily on the ground like a toad. His face contorted, and his eyes rolled back to his head. He couldn’t help but whimper in agony.

Lin Xun’s swift and powerful attack stunned everyone in the hall. Everyone awakened from their drunken state.

Only then did they realize that something was wrong. Their gazes changed to fear and shock when they looked at Lin Xun again.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but shake his head at their slow responses. An enemy could wipe them out without any effort.

“Why are you all standing there?!” the woman in the red dress screamed. Anger had clearly taken over her and made her lose her mind.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, but no one dared to move an inch. Although Lin Xun appeared young, he showed his terrifying power without uttering a single word.

Lin Xun grinned and strode towards the woman in red.

“You…what are you doing?” the woman in the red dress shrieked.

Lin Xun was smiling but an indescribable fear flooded her.

“Uncle Zhong, this woman is…” Lin Xun asked softly.

”Young Master, according to the ranks of our clan, she is your cousin Lin Yujiao.”

Young Master?

Cousin?

Everyone in the hall looked bewildered. Could this guy also be part of the Lin Family? But why have we never seen him before?

“Oh, so you’re my cousin.” Lin Xun chuckled, his dark eyes fixed on the woman in red. “Do you know the rules of our clan?”

Lin Yujiao frowned. “Nonsense! As a member of the Lin Family, how would I not know the rules of our clan?”

Lin Xun said ruminatively, “Oh, you know? If that’s the case, then this matter is easier to handle.”

He stretched out his hand and lifted Lin Yujiao like a chick. Then, he gathered strength to his arm and swung it gently.

Everyone was horrified to see Lin Yujiao’s body draw across the air in a beautiful arc before she was hurled out of the hall.

They uncontrollably trembled all over. They had never thought that Lin Xun would attack!

“Bastard, I’m going to kill you. I’m going to kill you!” Lin Yujiao’s shrill and tragic scream echoed throughout the hall.

“Regardless of whether you want to kill me or not, you better kneel outside the hall and wait to receive your punishment. If not, I don’t mind using your life to set an example for the rest of the people,” said Lin Xun, his voice calm as always, but a terrifying and imposing aura had emerged around him.

It was as though he had become another person. His brows were like blades and his dark eyes flashed like lightning. He seemed capable of summoning a storm to engulf the entire world.

Instantly, the atmosphere turned deathly silent and still. Everyone felt they couldn’t breathe, especially Lin Yujiao who was outside the main hall. She was about to go berserk with rage, but Lin Xun’s terrifying power had frightened her to the spot. Her face blanched, and she felt life-threatening danger.

Then, she knelt down!

If she dared to waver, the youngster wouldn’t hesitate to kill her!

How would Lin Xun’s aura be normal after tempering it in mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the past few years?

His imposing bearing would shock even elite cultivators, let alone the flamboyant young masters and young ladies in the hall!

Lin Zhong, who was standing on the side of the main hall, fell into a trance-like state. He realized that his young master possessed an extraordinary strength despite the fact that his origin aeth artery had been taken away over ten years ago!

The hall fell utterly silent.

“Those who aren’t from the Lin Clan stand up,” Lin Xun said indifferently as he swept a glance over the men and women.

Immediately, six coquettish women came forward, all of them pale and shaking. They kept their heads low and dared not to look directly at Lin Xun.

“Who are they?” asked Lin Xun.

Lin Zhong reddened with embarrassment as he mumbled, “Young master, they...they are women from the brothel...”

Lin Xun nodded and waved his hand dismissively. “Uncle Zhong, send them away but give them the payment they deserve.”

“Yes.” Lin Zhong hurriedly nodded.

At that moment, a pretty and delicate man covered in makeup stepped forward in a panic, mumbling, “I...I’m also not from the Lin Clan.”

Lin Xun was stunned. This man is too feminine. Not only does he look like a woman, but his mannerisms are also like that of a woman.

Lin Xun shuddered as a thought struck him. He isn’t a legendary gigolo, right?

“Young Master, this is Master Xiuwen’s...male companion,” Lin Zhong explained in a whisper.

Lin Xun immediately noticed a man in an elegant robe looking uncomfortable. Clearly, he was Young Master Xiuwen.

“Take him away too.”

Lin Xun waved and sighed inwardly. They are descendants of the Lin Family, but they are all drinking indulgently and playing around with brothel women and men! They are rotten to the core

Soon, Lin Zhong left with the brothel women and male companion.

Only four men and two women were left, as well as Lin Yujiao, who was kneeling outside the hall.

Lin Xun stood in the center of the hall and didn’t say a single word, making the atmosphere even more stifling. The men and women almost felt like they couldn’t breathe.

Lin Xun made a decision and said calmly, “You all, kneel outside the hall and wait for your punishment!”

The expressions on the faces of the men and women changed dramatically as though they couldn’t believe what they heard.

“Don’t go too far! This is Mind Cleansing Peak, the territory of the Lin Family. You will die a tragic death if the elders of our clan find out what you have done!”

Someone couldn’t help yelling, acting fierce.

“Yeah, what right do you have to deal with us?”

Lin Xun grinned. “What right do I have?”

Then, he charged forward with a flash and struck the men and women one by one. He sent them hurling out of the hall and slamming into the ground.

He showed not the slightest hesitation. Although he acted ruthlessly, it wasn’t enough to kill them. If they weren’t from the Lin Clan, he would have launched into a killing spree the moment he stepped into the hall.

“Kneel down.”

When those two words fell into the ears of the screaming men and women, it was like a demon's declaration.

Who is this guy?

How dare he treat us like this?

Is he really not afraid of death?

This is Mind Cleansing Peak!

It’s our Lin Family's territory!

However, regardless of how furious and terrified they were, their bodies went stiff when they saw Lin Xun striding out of the main hall. They felt like the god of death was walking toward them, so they frantically dropped to their knees.

Lin Xun halted his footsteps and ran his eyes across the clan members of the Lin Clan. Disappointment struck him once again. These guys kneel so easily. They wouldn’t be of any use if enemies really attacked.

“I am called Lin Xun. From today on, I will be in charge of this Mind Cleansing Peak,” Lin Xun calmly stated.

What?

All the men and women widened their eyes with disbelief. What did that guy say? He said he would take over the Mind Cleansing Peak?

Nonsense!

Even if the Lin Family had suffered heavy damages and deteriorated since that incident, no force in the Forbidden City had ever been able to touch the Mind Cleansing Peak.

However, a young man suddenly broke into the hall and demanded to take over the territory of the Lin Family. How was that not absurd for them?

If Lin Xun didn’t wear an extremely serious expression as he spoke, they would have thought he was a lunatic spewing nonsense!
