Chapter 1255 Underworld Son Comes out of Closed-Door Cultivation



But he ignored them all.

“Why did you come to look for me?”

Lin Xun looked directly at Yu Lingkong. After years of not seeing each other, Lin Xun noticed that he had reached the second longevity tribulation stage, which made him feel a little emotional.

Among the heroes who participated in the Dao Lantern Festival back then, Yu Lingkong was an unignorable presence.

Then, when they competed for the Little Giants List, although Yu Lingkong made it onto the top ten, he was no longer as splendid as he was back then.

Did he become weaker?

No, in the entire world, there were simply many heaven-defying figures who were more dazzling than him!

At this moment, Yu Lingkong wore a very calm expression as he said, “I wish to have a duel with you and break my inner demon barrier. I hope you fulfill my wish.”

Hoots of laughter sounded in the distance.

Everyone could tell that Yu Lingkong was taking on more than he could handle so they could not help but wonder whether he was stupid, or did he want to be tortured?

Even Ji Xingyao was taken aback by his challenge, and a complicated expression flickered across her brows.

Back then, Yu Lingkong was superior to everyone else, but now, he was ridiculed for just issuing a challenge to someone. How would people not lament about the change?

“Are you not worried that I will kill you?” asked Lin Xun.

“If I die in battle then I have no regrets.” Yu Lingkong seemed unaware of the mocking laughter around him as he calmly explained, “Ever since I lost to you at the Dao Lantern Festival, a demonic barrier has appeared in my heart, spreading like a cancerous tumor. If I don’t eradicate it, it will only obstruct my cultivation path.”

Lin Xun responded, “I understand.”

“I hope you fulfill my wish.”

With a solemn face, Yu Lingkong gave a cupped fist salute.

He had changed.

He no longer had an arrogant and disdainful attitude, and instead became much more restrained and calm, like a heavy sword without a cutting edge. He was like a completely different person from before.

It should be mentioned that Lin Xun had every reason to kill him in battle when it came to the enmity between them, but unexpectedly, he fearlessly came to challenge Lin Xun alone!

After sizing up Yu Lingkong for a moment, Lin Xun finally nodded.

“Come with me.”

He turned back towards Kongzhe Mountain.

Yu Lingkong was taken aback, but he did not shrink back and followed him.

Everyone in the distance looked at each other. Did Demon God Lin accept Yu Lingkong’s challenge?

……

A quarter of an hour later.

On Green Mulberry Peak, Yu Lingkong was overwhelmingly defeated, dripping with blood and looking miserable.

But to his surprise, Lin Xun did not take his life.

“Have you ever overcome your inner demons?” Lin Xun asked.

Yu Lingkong wiped the bloodstains on the corners of his lips and, enduring the hellish pain all over his body, stood up with difficulty. “It will be resolved within three days.”

There was an unprecedented relief in his voice.

No one knew how much pain he had suffered over the years. The tragic defeat back then had been corroding his cultivation heart and his will like a toxic shadow.

Even though he had become a Supreme King of the second longevity tribulation level, he knew that his mind was unstable!

There was always the possibility of him being possessed by demons!

Rather than being plagued by inner demons and dying, it was better to fight to his heart’s content and put an end to everything.

So, he came to see Lin Xun.

He lost the battle, but he felt he had been freed from the shackles and the huge load that had been bothering him physically and mentally.

“You can go.”

Lin Xun shot him at glance.

Yu Lingkong was flabbergasted and looked at Lin Xun with a complicated gaze. “Why?”

Lin Xun explained, “The grudge between you and I resulted from competing for fortunes. Besides, you are the one who failed every time. Since you have already chosen to settle it today, why should I bother about taking your life? There is no need.”

No need!

This was Lin Xun’s view.

Yu Lingkong fell silent. Only after a while did he cup one fist in the other and saluted. “Thank you.”

Lin Xun returned the salute and said nothing else.

“If you want to find Ancient Buddha Son, perhaps you should check out Stupa Brahma Land,” Yu Lingkong suddenly said aloud as he was walking away.

Lin Xun narrowed his black eyes, keeping the name in mind.

……

When Yu Lingkong left, his clothes were stained with blood, and he was in an extremely tragic state. Countless cultivators took note of that.

However, no one expected Demon God Lin, who had made a name for himself from his ruthlessness, would let Yu Lingkong go.

“Are you not worried that his cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds now that he has gotten rid of his inner demons and sooner or later he will come to get revenge again?” Ji Xingyao could not understand Lin Xun.

“I only need to become stronger than him. Why would I need to be scared of revenge?”

The enemy’s threat would only act as a spur to not let Lin Xun become too complacent and slack off his training!

Of course, he believed that Yu Lingkong would likely never have the thought to seek revenge against him again in the future.

This was because Yu Lingkong had changed.

People changed.

Just like Zhen Yunfeng did.

Just like Yu Lingkong did.

But the changes between the two were entirely different.

In fact, Lin Xun had to ask himself whether or not he had changed over the years?

From a young age, he already had to bear a heavy burden and endure silently. Even though he was an enthusiastic youngster and acted recklessly, he did everything only to protect himself.

Now, after many hardships and growth, he had become entirely different from when he was young. His attitude and perspective on many things also changed.

“Miss Ji, do you know where the Stupa Brahma Land is?” asked Lin Xun.

“Stupa Brahma Land? That’s a well known forbidden land in the Root Mountain Realm. It is an extremely bizarre and ominous place. Someone once saw a stupa tower made of countless bones that was at least three thousand stories tall. Every night, it would present horrifying and eerie visions.”

Ji Xingyao said quickly, “In recent years, many experts have attempted to explore there, but they either died or found nothing in the end.”

Lin Xun nodded and thought to himself, If Ancient Buddha Son is hiding there, it is indeed difficult for anyone to find traces of him.

“Why? Are you interested in that place?” Ji Xingyao asked curiously.

“I won’t go there for now.”

Lin Xun shook his head. He had to wait a while to see if there was any news about Toady, the big black bird and A’lu.

Also, he had to deal with some enemies first, such as Underworld Son.

In truth, Lin Xun had another thought in the depths of his heart.

How would Yun Qingbai feel when he learned that he was still alive? And would he dare to have a showdown with him now?

Of course, even if Yun Qingbai did not come, he would go find him himself!

……

Clouds Fall Mountain.

The territory of the Underworld forces.

Zhan Yuan frowned, feeling a little anxious.

Not far from him stood the black Underworld Palace Hall, which was the training place of Underworld Son.

A few days ago, he, Zhen Yunfeng, Yu Liangyin, Tuo Teng and others stormed Kongzhe Mountain in an attempt to force Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms to submit.

But their army of people was wiped out by Lin Xun.

If Zhan Yuan hadn’t acted quickly and escaped, he also would have been doomed.

A chill came to his heart at the thought of Lin Xun sweeping all enemies that day with invincible power.

Therefore, as soon as he returned, he had been waiting to report to Underworld Son.

But unfortunately, Underworld Son was still in closed-door cultivation.

In the past few days, Zhan Yuan could distinctly feel that, following the failure of their operation, the reputation of Underworld also took a hit!

The outside world was waiting to see Underworld make a fool of itself.

If they did not do something substantial soon, the outside world would think that the rise of Underworld had come to an embarrassing end.

At that time, what would those who had submitted to Underworld think?

“Why hasn’t Lord Underworld Son come out yet?”

Not far away, Zhen Yunfeng was pacing back and forth, looking agitated.

Zhan Yuan shot an ice-cold glance at Zhen Yunfeng. He is now trash. Does he think that Underworld Son will treat him the same as before?

“What are you looking at?” Zhen Yunfeng raged, “My cultivation might be destroyed, but you are no better. You retreated without a fight! Is that not disgraceful?”

“Say another word and you’re dead.” Zhan Yuan coldly snapped.

That one sentence made a look of sheer terror wash over Zhen Yunfeng’s face, but his heart was burning with indignation and rage. In the end, he still closed his mouth.

Zhan Yuan snorted, contempt flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, a feeling of frustration, dejection and defeat swept over Zhen Yunfeng.

He had been so glamorous and glorious before, but now, he was at the mercy of someone else. The difference upset him so much that he almost broke down.

Did he regret it?

He extremely regretted it!

Unfortunately, it was too late now.

At that moment, the tightly closed door of the Underworld Palace rumbled open to reveal a tall and slender figure, silhouetted against the dim light.

As he strode out, the world darkened and a suffocating power spread outwards.

Underworld Son came out of closed-door cultivation!

“Is that boy Lin Xun still alive? Good, good, this is good news. I have always considered it a regret to not be able to get revenge. Today, I can finally get what I wanted!”

When he learned about what happened on Kongzhe Mountain from Zhan Yuan, a frightening and boundless murderous intent raged around him.

As for how many people were killed by Lin Xun in the operation, he did not care at all.

He was confident that, as long as he was around, no one could stop the rise of Underworld.

As for the loss of subordinates, he could replace them later.

“Lord, please stand up for us!”

Zhen Yunfeng was on all fours, weeping bitter tears. Now, he could only pin all hope on Underworld Son.

Underworld Son wrinkled his brows and a touch of disgust surfaced in his heart, but he still said aloud, “Don’t worry, you are one of my Underworld warriors, I will not let you stay crippled. I will find a body and seize it for you with a secret art, which should be enough to help you restore your strength!”

This was how he won support.

He was itching to send Zhen Yunfeng flying with a kick, but he could not do so. Otherwise, it would surely disappoint the experts who had submitted to his command.

If he lost support, then he would not be able to lead.

“Thank you Lord!”

Overjoyed, Zhen Yunfeng burst into tears of gratitude.

Zhan Yuan sneered in his heart. Even if he succeeds in seizing a body, how would it be easy to integrate their Dao Seed and cultivation with him?

Even if he regains his strength, he would struggle to progress further on his cultivation path in the future!

Of course Zhen Yunfeng was aware of this, but he no longer cared. He had experienced something worse than death, and he did not want to be tortured in that way anymore.

“Zhan Yuan, I’ll give you three days to assemble an army. In three days, come with me to Kongzhe Mountain to kill that beast Lin Xun, and also, we’ll conveniently turn Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms into a bloodbath!”

Underworld Son put his hands behind his back, his eyes glowing a faint light. The murderous intent raging around him was like surging flames.
