The Prodigies War
chapter-525

The jeweled ship looked old and ordinary, but the interior was extremely spacious, grand and luxurious. The most amazing thing was that on both sides of the ship were sixteen of the newest type of rune cannons!

It was not an ordinary ship.

In the cabin, Mu Wansu looked at the young man opposite her with a trace of emotion. Her red lips moved slightly as she sighed, revealing her pearly white teeth. Given your current status in the empire, I’m surprised this sort of thing is still happening to you.”

Lin Xun was also studying his old friend opposite him. Mu Wansu was undoubtedly an extremely beautiful woman. She was mature, charming and exquisitely stunning, like a plump peach.

As always, she was in a tailored black dress that perfectly highlighted her graceful and slender figure and contrasted with her fair and soft skin. It added a seductive charm to her.

When they first met, Lin Xun was still a teenager living in Feiyun Village, and she was the person in charge of Stone Cauldron Alms in Donglin City.

Three years had passed since then. Lin Xun’s situation and identity had undergone earth-shaking changes. He had captured the attention of the entire world. On the other hand, Mu Wansu had left Donglin City and became in charge of Stone Cauldron Alms of the southwestern province.

“Big Sister Wansu has become even more beautiful than before!” Lin Xun exclaimed. Mu Wansu radiated intelligence, capability and elegance. She was like a beautiful rose that had bloomed through the wind and rain.

Mu Wansu was taken aback at first. Then, she bit her lips and rolled her eyes. “Little bastard, at such a time, you are still talking nonsense. Do you want a beating?”

Lin Xun leaned back leisurely on the chair, folded his hands behind his head, and said with a smile, “Whenever there is an important event, I am always calm and very serious, but that wouldn’t help right now.”

Mu Wansu’s expression eased and she reassured, “Don’t worry too much. If there hasn’t been an accident, the people in Qingfeng County must have already begun to act.”

After a pause, she suddenly sneered, “Yao Tuohai is crazy. Does he think that his Yao Family can do whatever they want? Perhaps, he can summon the wind and rain in the southwest province, but in the eyes of true major forces, he is just an old dog. Even Stone Cauldron Alms can destroy him and wipe out his clan with its power!”

Lin Xun said, ”Do you think Yao Tuohai is playing with fire?”

”Is he not?” Mu Wansu asked in response.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes were profound, and his voice was low as he said, “I’ve been thinking about this. Just why would Yao Tuohai choose to go against me at such a time? To everyone, it is an extremely stupid decision and he must also know that. Yao Tuohai, or even the entire Yao Family combined, can’t shake me in the slightest, but that didn’t stop him. What do you think he is planning?”

Mu Wansu thought for a moment and said, “Do you think that there are other forces secretly supporting Yao Tuohai to do so?”

“That is a possibility.”

Mu Wansu assumed a solemn expression. “In that case, do we need to prepare more power?”

Lin Xun shook his head. “No, in this operation, I already have the secret support of Stone Cauldron Alms, the Steel-Blood King’s Ning Family, the East Sea King’s Ye Family and the Never Falling Geezer Gong Clan. This is to prevent any unpredictable changes from happening.”

Mu Wansu’s eyes glowed a brilliant light. She realized that Lin Xun had already made various preparations for this operation.

Immediately, she couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. In just three years, Lin Xun had already amassed such tremendous power. I never imagined he would become so strong.

“Big Sister Wansu, why do you stare at me all the time? Am I too good-looking?” Lin Xun teased.

Mu Wansu spat, and her beautiful and charming eyes stared at Lin Xun fiercely. “Tell me the truth, how many backups have you prepared this time?”

Lin Xun said casually, “Not much, but should be enough.”

Lin Xun had indeed left the Forbidden City alone and didn’t alert anyone, but that did not mean he would foolishly act alone!

If someone didn’t use the strength they had and broke into a dragon’s den alone, it wouldn’t be called courageous but stupid.

Lin Xun had finally achieved such extraordinary prestige and status after training for so long. He only hoped to be able to have the power to resolve any unexpected accidents one day.

But having said that, given Lin Xun’s current power, he could flatten the Yao Family alone without the help of other people.

However, he chose not to do that because he knew that Yao Tuohai was not an idiot. The older man would no doubt be fully prepared and had a trick up his sleeve.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but be cautious. Of course, he wasn’t cautious of Yao Tuohai but of the power behind the man!

So, before leaving the Forbidden City, he secretly instructed Spirit Vulture and Lin Zhong to help him make secret arrangements and contact other forces to help.

Such as Stone Cauldron Alms, the Ning Family, Ye Family, and the Gong Family.

As the strongest business in the empire, Stone Cauldron Alms had people from all over the world, and the Ning Family and the Ye Family were the same.

It couldn’t be easier for them to arrange for some people to help Lin Xun without alarming the enemy.

Most importantly, the Yao Family was nothing compared with behemoths such as Stone Cauldron Alms. But their purpose wasn’t to deal with Yao Tuohai.

“I’m going to check on Uncle Tie Shan.” Lin Xun got up and headed towards a quiet room in the cabin.

Tie Shan was only unconscious and was injured. Lin Xun felt a lot more at ease because that showed the enemy wouldn’t dare to go too far before he came.

……

Qingfeng County.

The night was as dark as ink. Qingfeng County was much busier and more prosperous than Donglin City.

Even when night fell, the city was still brightly lit, crowded with an endless stream of people and traffic.

It was the busiest time of the day for places such as brothels, taverns and gambling houses.

Three Wonders House.

It was the most well-known brothel in Qingfeng County and the sacred place in the hearts of countless young masters because the women there were not only beautiful and charming, but they knew three wonders that made many people obsessed with them.

What three wonders?

Dancing wonders, singing wonders, and wonders in the bedroom!

Tonight, the business in Three Wonders House was as good as always. Self-proclaimed young masters, wealthy businessmen, famous cultivators of extraordinary status and powerful figures from different sects and clans had all gathered there, indulging themselves.

In room no. 9, a young man in a luxurious robe was pacing around impatiently. He had sent down an order to have the new girl of Three Wonders House serve him, but she still hadn’t come after several minutes. He heard that she was as stunning as a flower and, most importantly, a virgin. He had secretly sneaked out from his clan in order to spend a night in Three Wonders House.

Creak!

Just when the young man in a luxurious robe was becoming irritated, the door was pushed open, revealing a graceful figure.

It was a girl with silky long hair flowing down her body like a waterfall. Her dress was whiter than snow, her face was icily beautiful, and her skin was as clear and smooth as jade. Her beauty was out of this world.

The young man stared at her with crazed lust, and his breathing became heavy. It was very rare to find a beautiful woman with an icy demeanor in Three Wonders House.

He never thought that he would encounter one!

“Yao Yukun?” the girl said aloud, her voice as clear and cold as a mountain spring.

The young man asked in surprise, “Miss, do you know me?”

The girl wrinkled her nose in disgust. “If you are then come with me.”

The young man shivered, and the desire in his heart was immediately extinguished. He realized that the situation wasn’t right!

Dong!

However, before he could react, his head throbbed with pain and he lost consciousness.

……

Fenggui House.

It was a unique tavern that only allowed famous people in Qingfeng County.

Yao Fangfei was drinking alone inside.

“Are you Miss Fangfei?”

A handsome man approached her.

“Who are you?” Yao Fangfei asked warily.

“A person who is destined to come here and wants to invite Miss Fangfei for a drink,” the man said with a smile.

“Sorry, I am busy.”

Yao Fangfei directly refused, but the man stretched out his arm and boldly wrapped it around her shoulders.

Just as Yao Fangfei was about to snap and slap the shameless man, she saw everything darken before her, her body went weak, and she fell into the man’s arms.

“Beautiful wine and a beautiful woman! What a pleasant night. Unfortunately, I don’t have the luck to enjoy it...”

The man finished his glass of wine in one gulp, put Yao Fangfei on his shoulders, and strode out of Fenggui House.

The same thing happened in different areas in Qingfeng County on the same night.

No one was alerted at all.

Yao Commercial, one of the properties of the Yao Clan, had been closed for business more than ten days ago. They claimed that they were temporarily closing in order to conduct inventory taking.

However, on the same night, a group of men in black quietly infiltrated Yao Commercial and took control of all the staff, guards and servants. From beginning to end, no one was able to escape or resist.

On the same night, strange things happened in a mine dozens of miles away from Qingfeng County. The mine was a property of the Yao Family, but that night, all the Yao Family members in charge of the mine disappeared as though they had evaporated into thin air.

Night time in Qingfeng County was lively, charming and colorful, but who would have thought that a dozen cases of bizarre disappearances would happen?

The disappearances were all related to the Yao Family.

The night grew darker and darker. It was deep in the night, but it was still bright in the grand hall of the Yao Family.

Yao Tuohai was sitting silently in the center with a solemn expression.

The night seems longer than usual.

But if we survive tonight, tomorrow we might welcome the new dawn…

Yao Tuohai thought as he waited.

But before dawn came, a panicked scream suddenly rang from afar, sounding particularly ear-piercing on the silent night.

Yao Tuohai scrunched his brows.
