The Prodigies War-Chapter 1550 The Storm after the Calm

Finally some supreme Saints?

A cold gleam flickered in Lin Xun’s eyes as he said, “Not to worry. From the beginning I’ve never intended to hide our plan. In fact, I find it surprising that our enemies are only starting to be alerted now.”

Hearing this, Shaohao and Ruowu were dumbfounded.

“Just treat your injuries with ease, Brother Shaohao. You can leave the rest to me,” said Lin Xun without explaining any further. “Also, I will have to trouble Miss Ruowu to help me spread a message.”

“What is it?” asked Ruowu curiously.

“That I, Lin Xun, will rebuild the City of Protection in three months!” said Lin Xun casually with his hands crossed behind his back.

“What?!” Both Shaohao and Ruowu were frightened. “If our enemies find out...”

“Exactly. I want them to know,” said Lin Xun. “Of course, there is another purpose to doing this, which is to inform the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts in the other territories so that they will come and join us.”

Shaohao frowned. “If the enemies come in force, then I’m afraid it will be difficult to defend against them with our current strength.”

Lin Xun laughed, “When that happens, you two can just sit back and watch.”

Shaohao and Ruowu shared a look of disbelief. Neither of them knew where Lin Xun got his confidence from.

But Lin Xun would have already explained long ago if he wanted to, so in the end, they decided against asking more questions.

However, this piqued their curiosity. What exactly would Lin Xun do to fend off the foreign enemies?

From this day onward, Lin Xun started to leave the camp frequently.

......

Above a black ocean, Lin Xun’s eyes became unfathomable with the power of the Chaofeng Eye operating within as he scanned the depths of the water.

After some time, he abruptly reached out his hand and made a grabbing gesture.

Rumble!

The sea surface suddenly tumbled, and the waves roared like thunder. An aeth vein that was a thousand feet long and as thick as a house was being pulled out.

The sight would make one think of a gigantic dragon!

The vein filled the air with a divine luster. Pure and thick aeth qi vaporized on its surface and turned into a rain of light, which looked incomparably holy.

This was a rare Saint-grade aeth vein of astonishing value that contained a dense and holy energy.

In the outside world, a vein like this one would be enough to build a cultivation paradise!

Whoosh~

Lin Xun collected the aeth vein with a wave of his sleeve and floated away.

......

At a strange, rocky beach.

There was a thunderous noise as a slash of sword light split and cracked open the ground. With a flicker, Lin Xun jumped into the huge cavern.

Ten thousand feet...

Thirty thousand feet...

After falling all the way to ninety thousand feet underground, a blinding red haze entered Lin Xun’s field of vision.

This was another Saint-grade aeth vein of excellent quality!

......

The Nine Domains Battlefield was an extremely mysterious world located in the middle of the nine domains. Dotted with many secret realms that formed mini worlds of their own, this place contained numerous treasures rarely seen in the outside world.

Even the normal origin aeth veins here were of incredibly high quality!

With the help of the Chaofeng Eye, Lin Xun found hundreds of aeth veins of all sizes in less than twenty days.

Some were tens of thousands of feet long, with beauty second to none as their holy auras dyed the world in brilliant splendor.

Some were only over a hundred feet long, but the purity of their energy shocked even a supreme Saint like Lin Xun!

These veins would be the key power source for the Total Annihilation Perfect Protection Array.

Late at night in the temporary camp.

After finally finishing everything in his hands, Lin Xun stood alone under the veil of the night and gazed into the distance.

Nearly half a year had passed since he had occupied this place.

During these months, he had made calculations to divine a grand formation, refined its base, and collected materials for its setup... Which had taken the majority of his time here.

But all the effort was worth it.

Now, he only needed to gather enough construction materials to start rebuilding the City of Protection!

Standing alone in the night for a long time, Lin Xun murmured in his heart, “Everything is ready; all that’s needed is the right opportunity!”

......

Meanwhile, news of Lin Xun’s plan to rebuild the City of Protection had been spreading through the Nine Domains Battlefield under Ruowu’s intentional promotion.

This raised a commotion wherever it reached.

“Why is this guy announcing this matter so blatantly? Isn’t he worried that the other eight domains will join hands to suppress it?”

In a secluded mountain located deep within a secret realm in the Heavenly Flame Territory, Ye Chen had returned to the lair with the news of Lin Xun and told Xiao Cangtian about it, which earned a frown from the latter.

Right after their entry to the Nine Domains Battlefield, Xiao Cangtian and Ye Chen had met by chance and decided to lie low in this Heavenly Flame Territory.

“You really think Lin Xun is that kind of brainless person?” Ye Chen’s eyes burned brightly. “I think this is our cue to leave. We’ve been hiding here like turtles for almost a year. Any longer and I’ll develop depression.”

Xiao Cangtian fell into a long silence. Then, he inhaled deeply and said, “Then let’s go. F*ck it, I’ve also had enough!”

The two men shared a look and laughed.

......

Upon hearing this news, the majority of the Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators in the Nine Domains Battlefield who had been able to survive to this day were all tempted to move.

Lin Xun!

He was a legendary figure in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Since he dared to be so open about this matter, he certainly had something to rely on.

No one believed that Lin Xun would overestimate his own capabilities.

This was the prestige that Lin Xun had forged for himself through countless bloody battles!

“Time to go. No matter how many dangers I’ll encounter along the way, I must return to the Ancient Wasteland Territory and group up with my fellow daoists,” said someone through gritted teeth.

“Finally one piece of good news after hiding for so long. I can’t turn a deaf ear to this even if it costs me my life!” declared a person, their gaze firm.

Similar scenes were occuring in various regions. One by one, the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts who had been in hiding launched into action.

Their destination was the Ancient Wasteland Territory!

However, there were also many Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators who chose to look on coldly after learning the news.

Lin Xun was indeed strong and bold, but this, in the end, was the Nine Domains Battlefield. How could those foreigners possibly be able to sit still when they knew about this?

There was no doubt that the Ancient Wasteland Territory had become the eye of the storm that was under the constant watch of the enemies. Horrific and unimaginable killings might erupt at any second!

Therefore, it was unwise to go there at this time!

Unless...

Unless Lin Xun successfully rebuilt the City of Protection and blocked the attacks of the other eight domains, then perhaps that would be the time to return to the Ancient Wasteland Territory.

But these Ancient Wasteland Domain experts, who had decided to sit still and wait it out, all thought that the chances of this outcome were very slim.

In their eyes, the depths and power of the other eight domains were so terrifying that just thinking about it filled them with despair.

This was a matter of personal choice.

Not every Ancient Wasteland cultivator was willing to disregard their own safety to support Lin Xun.

......

North Sea Territory.

In the palace on the Tempest Sea, an old voice full of ridicule was echoing, “This little scumbag surnamed Lin is truly arrogant. Does he not know how the Ancient Wasteland’s City of Protection fell in the previous two domain conflicts?

“According to records left by our clan’s sages, in the first Conflict of the Nine Domains, their city was taken over, and a total of three hundred thousand two-legged sheep were slaughtered. The sky rained blood for ten days on end!

“They tried to rebuild the city in the second domain conflict, only for it to be trampled on halfway through by our allied forces, after which ninety thousand sheep were slaughtered and turned into a river of blood!

“To think that Lin Xun hasn’t learned this lesson at all. Is he not afraid of repeating history? I’m afraid he’s not seeking his own death, but is instead trying to get those Ancient Wasteland Domain sheep killed.”

Cackles of laughter resounded around the big hall.

When these people learned of Lin Xun’s plan to rebuild the City of Protection, their first reaction was: This kid has a few screws loose, doesn’t he?

Even if he’s trying to die, there is no need to be in such a hurry, right?

What ensued were all sorts of contemptuous and mocking laughs.

“Young Master, you need only give an order, and I shall lead an army to flatten the Ancient Wasteland Territory!” resounded a voice as loud and as a bell ringing.

Hearing this, all eyes instantly fell upon Kun Shaoyu who was in the main seat, waiting for his reaction.

Lifting his cup, Kun Shaoyu took a sip of the strong and fragrant wine before revealing a faint smile. His eyes were unfathomable as he spoke leisurely:

“Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. Since Lin Xun said he would rebuild the Ancient Wasteland Domain’s City of Protection in three months, that will also be the best time to give it a fatal blow.”

After a pause, Kun Shaoyu added, “However, our North Sea Camp cannot be the only contributor.”

A person asked, “Young Master, do you mean we should pull the other seven domains into this?”

“Precisely.” Kun Shaoyu said calmly, “First eliminate Ancient Wasteland, then fight for supremacy. The eight domains have always been on the same page when it comes to suppressing the Ancient Wasteland Domain. It’s naturally impossible to exclude them from this sort of thing.

“I will personally write letters to notify their leaders.”

After finishing, Kun Shaoyu threw his head back and drained the cup.

It had been nearly a year since the opening of the Nine Domains Battlefield. Now was the time to accomplish ‘First eliminate Ancient Wasteland’!

Soon, his handwritten letters were delivered to the leading figures of the other seven domains via teleportation.

The day Lin Xun rebuilds that city is the day of his demise. When the time comes, I hope you each will deploy ten supreme Saints to lead an army of thirty thousand to the Ancient Wasteland Territory!

In the Great Luo Territory, the heir of the Heavenly Sword Sect Jian Qingchen only pondered for a moment after receiving this message before giving his approval.

“Very well!” In the Absolute Yin Territory, Prince Zhu Yingkong of the Torch Dragon Clan, also agreed.

Ten supreme Saints and thirty thousand troops were only equivalent to one-tenth of their total force in this battlefield.

In the East Mulberry Territory, the voice of the God Dao Sect’s First Disciple Hua Hongxiao resounded with overwhelming killing intent, “It should have been so.”

Immediately following, Chi Wushu from the Nine Dark Ancient Domain, Lie Qian from the Heavenly Flame Ancient Domain, and Shi Pohai from the Star Fiend Ancient Domain all gave their approval.

It was impossible for any of these forces to tolerate the Ancient Wasteland Camp rebuilding their City of Protection!

But to everyone’s surprise, the moment the message reached the Blood Demon Territory, Xue Qingyi rejected it without a second thought.

“Tell Kun Shaoyu that our Blood Demon Ancient Domain currently has no interest in meddling in this matter.”

This decision had yet to spread to the other parties when it already raised a storm in the Blood Demon Territory, causing all of its major forces to feel stifled.

Why is Xue Qingyi...becoming more and more of a coward?
