The Prodigies War

Chapter 1696: Identity Exposed

Lu Beigu, Wei Ziya, Kun Jiulin, Wen Qingxue, Tang Su…

Lin Xun couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of the renowned and beautiful extraordinary supreme Big Saints.

Then, he inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure coming this way along with a group of cultivators.

It was a woman with skin like the finest jade and eyes like clear springs. She was wearing a simple aqua dress that added to her stunning beauty.

Jiang Heng!

A successor from the Xuanji Dao Sect of Ancient Nebula Road!

Back when Lin Xun was in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm, he angered Jiang Heng and ignited her killing intent because he picked the Night Sky Jade Vine.

But Lin Xun never imagined that he would run into her again on the banks of the Flying Immortal River.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Heng also spotted Lin Xun.

This thief who stole the sect’s ‘divine herb’ actually dared to show up here so brazenly. He has a death wish!

The corners of Lin Xun’s lips twitched, and he urgently sent a voice transmission to A’hu, “Be prepared, my identity may be exposed.”

A’hu narrowed her eyes and nodded imperceptibly.

But to Lin Xun’s surprise, Jiang Heng quickly retracted her gaze, as if completely disregarding him.

But then, an ice-cold and melodious voice rang in Lin Xun’s ears.

“Little thief, are you feeling nervous? Are you worried? If I reveal your identity, I wonder if those cultivators will eat you alive?”

Her hatred-filled voice had a hint of smugness, as if she had Lin Xun already in her hands.

The one who sent the message was, of course, Jiang Heng.

Lin Xun responded in a calm and undaunted manner, “I see you are very anxious to eat me alive, but it doesn’t matter. You can yell it out all you want; you can’t scare me.”

“You…”

Jiang Heng raised her eyebrows and gritted her teeth. Her beautiful eyes were about to spit fire. “You little thief, do you think I don’t dare to?”

“Try it then.” Lin Xun looked nonchalant.

“You’re so arrogant!” Jiang Heng hated the fact that she couldn’t strangle Lin Xun to death.

“Junior Sister, ignore that despicable man. Once we enter the Kunlun Dominion, I will personally capture and kill him.”

Eldest Senior Brother Ji Qian’s voice rang in Jiang Heng’s ears.

“Senior Brother, that boy is too arrogant!” Jiang Heng fumed.

“Great plans can be ruined by just a touch of impatience. Junior Sister, don’t forget what I told you before. That boy not only stole the Night Sky Jade Vine, Nine-Leaf Golden Spirit Grass and other rare precious materials, but he also possesses a mysterious pagoda that can block the Great Sun Thunder Wheel.”

Ji Qian, whose handsome face was framed by long gray hair, was dressed in a white robe and exuded an immeasurable aura. His eyes were as sharp as divine rays piercing the sky.

He cast a glance at Lin Xun and withdrew his gaze.

Back then, with the help of the power of a treasure, he pried into the situation in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm and even attempted to seize the Dao Endless Pagoda from Lin Xun.

However, he failed in the end.

Jiang Heng gradually calmed herself down.

Her eldest senior brother had told her before that the mysterious pagoda had made an appearance in the Dao War of Emperors that had happened long ago and its unfathomable power had astonished everyone!

“Besides, that boy holds a coveted Flying Immortal Tablet. If we reveal his identity now, it will ruin our chances of capturing him and seizing his treasures,” Ji Qian added.

Jiang Heng nodded and drew a deep breath to control the anger swirling in her heart.

The appearance of Ji Qian, Jiang Heng, and the others also caused a commotion in the crowd.

The Xuanji Dao Sect might not be as almighty as the Great Six Courts, but it was still a top ancient sect in the world.

Ji Qian was not only the number one successor of the Xuanji Dao Sect, but also of noble birth, being a direct descendant of the Imperial Ji Clan.

Moreover, his strength was just as impressive as he held the position of 248th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings!

……

“They actually held back…”

A’hu had a little fright at first, but after a little thought, she understood their thinking. “It seems like they are worried that you, their prey, will be snatched away by others, so they decided against exposing your identity.”

Lin Xun nodded. “Actually, I am also quite interested in Jiang Heng.”

“Oh.” A’hu donned a strange look. Clearly, she had misunderstood.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but explain, “That girl has the surname Jiang. I’m just curious whether she is related to the Imperial Jiang Clan.”

Back when Lin Xun was in the Tragic Death City of the Supreme Realm, before Ghost King Xuan Kong’s wisp of will faded from the world, he had handed Lin Xun a hairpin shaped like a bamboo leaf.

He asked him to return the item to a person called Jiang Xingque if he were to have the chance to meet the descendants of the Imperial Jiang Clan in the future.

Ghost King Xuan Kong was a successor of Fangcun Mountain, and he had imparted the art of Extreme Absolute to Lin Xun. He could be said to be Lin Xun’s senior brother.

Entrusted by his senior brother, Lin Xun naturally would not shirk from his responsibility.

A’hu said thoughtfully, “As far as I know, the Imperial Jiang Clan resides in Jiangshui of the Ancient Nebula Road. Among their ancestors, five emperors had emerged, and thus they were named the Clan of Five Emperors. Their foundation is extraordinary.”

Jiangshui!

Five emperors in a clan!

Lin Xun couldn’t help but inhale sharply. How can the Imperial Jiang Clan have such a frightening background? And what kind of person was Jiang Xingque?

In the following time, powerful experts from the Ancient Nebula Road continued to arrive one after another. Some were successors of renowned sects while others were descendants of ancient clans, all coming in groups. Their arrival turned the atmosphere on the banks of Flying Immortal River more and more tense.

During this period, Lin Xun noticed several more remarkable Big Saints.

For example, there was Tao Jianxing, a pure-blooded descendant of the Taowu Battle Clan, one of the Great Ten Battle Clans. He was a peerless supreme Big Saint with a flamboyant and showy personality and terrifying qi.

Like the others, Tao Jianxing was also a fierce character ranked on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings.

There was also Yan Chunjun, a successor from the Heaven and Earth Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts, and also Ling Kezi, a successor from Little Western Paradise Nanhua Ancient Temple.

Every one of them had an extraordinary foundation and transcendent aura. Even among supreme Big Saints, they were considered one of the best.

Many cultivators felt heavy-hearted.

Once the Kunlun Dominion opened, with so many amazing and fierce characters taking part, one could imagine how intense and brutal the competition would be.

Even someone like Kun Jiulin had become rather quiet and no longer dared to be as flashy as before.

It could not be helped, there were too many remarkable supreme Big Saints around him, including some who were strong enough to make him act cautiously.

However, although he was cautious, he was far from being afraid.

No matter who they were, he had come well prepared for this trip to the Kunlun Dominion.

Soon, the entrance to the Kunlun Dominion would open.

Above the Flying Immortal River in the sky seemed to be a faint and mysterious aura spreading outwards, casting an extremely vague passage of nothingness.

Thousands of powerful experts had gathered in the area. The spectacular scene would send chills down anyone.

Amidst the tense and oppressive atmosphere, everyone waited silently.

This included Lin Xun and A’hu. They had stopped chatting.

During this period, the two kept a very low profile and avoided drawing any attention, which both were very relieved with.

Of course, Jiang Heng, a successor of Xuanji Dao Sect, would occasionally shoot glances at Lin Xun, as though she was afraid that Lin Xun would run away.

Unfortunately for Jiang Heng, she was unaware that Lin Xun had already decided to find an opportunity to capture her alive after entering the Kunlun Dominion.

Suddenly, someone gasped—

“Successors of the All-Demon Dao Court are also here.”

Those words broke the silent atmosphere and caused a low commotion.

In the distance, a group of figures loomed, led by a green-robed man with unusually pale skin and an abnormal expression.

He had snow-white hair that cascaded down to his waist, and a bewitchingly handsome face, but other than that, there was nothing else striking about him.

But the sight of the green-robed man sent many shuddering and their expressions changing drastically.

Hua Xingli!

A successor of the All-Demon Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts. He was a legendary Big Saint but also a ruthless demon who killed without batting an eye!

Rumor had it that at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand opponents had died at his hands. It should be mentioned that all of those opponents were well-known Saint experts.

Not long ago, he caused an uproar in the Ancient Nebula Road. He killed a peerless figure ranked 237th on the Starry Sky Big Saint Rankings!

Who would not be alarmed by the appearance of a bloodthirsty demon?

Hua Xingli was unfazed by all the attention. He simply responded with a slight smile and said nothing else as he came to the banks of the Flying Immortal River with a group of successors of the All-Demon Dao Court.

“Lin Xun!”

But before anyone could calm down, an ice cold voice rang out beside Hua Xingli, “You have guts to show up here. Do you think no one here by the Flying Immortal River will recognize you?”

The person who spoke was a man clad in a blood-colored robe. He had narrow, scarlet-red eyes, and his face was filled with undisguised hatred.

Xue Qingyi!

Lin Xun’s heart sank.

He never imagined running into him here, let alone the fact that he would be traveling with successors of the All-Demon Dao Court.

Lin Xun!

The name caused another uproar in the crowd.

The same thought surfaced in the minds of many cultivators: the guy holding a Flying Immortal Tablet has actually been hiding among us?

Many people followed Xue Qingyi's gaze and turned to look at Lin Xun.

Ji Qian and Jiang Heng exchanged a glance with each other, anger surging in their hearts. They never expected an idiot would reveal Lin Xun’s identity here.

This was tantamount to destroying their plan!

They both wanted to kill Xue Qingyi.

Lin Xun sighed to himself. The world is indeed unpredictable. Jiang Heng did not expose my identity, but instead, it was Xue Qingyi, the guy who barely escaped death, who revealed everything to the others.

However, Lin Xun fearlessly faced Xue Xingyi with an ice-cold expression.

“My defeated foe, if you hadn’t gone into hiding, you would have died on the Nine Domains Battlefield. How can you still stand in front of me and bark so loud?”

Lin Xun did not hold back, but it also made everyone present certain of his identity.

Suddenly, many people’s eyes blazed with killing intent and they were ready to act.
