Chapter 1304 So You Came to Rob

Such a striking group instantly became the center of attention.

“Pay homage to me?” Lin Xun seemed puzzled as he stood in the air, his breath pristine and tranquil.

“After Lord Imperial Son learned of the conflict between us and Fellow Daoist Lin, he ordered us to come and apologize to you and resolve this misunderstanding,” said Wanyin softly, her voice pleasant and ethereal.

“And who is your lord, Imperial Son?” Lin Xun mused. Just to apologize? Something’s not right.

Wanyin smiled calmly, looking like an unearthly orchid with her peerless beauty as she said softly, “You should have heard of him, Fellow Daoist Lin. In fact, you and Lord Imperial Son had an encounter before the Fallen Star Peak in the West Infinity World, don’t you remember?”

“Shaohao?” Lin Xun’s eyes constricted.

Wanyin nodded slightly.

So it’s him!

Lin Xun was a little surprised. Shaohao was the young master of the Astral Imperial Clan who had once been dormant within the Constellation Egg.

The depth of his strength was unfathomable. He also possessed great perseverance, bravery, and ambitions. As early as on their first encounter, he had left an extremely deep impression on Lin Xun.

Lin Xun had even expected that when Shaohao emerged, he would inevitably raise a storm in the domain as it would be impossible for someone like him to remain unknown.

Reality had proved him right.

Shaohao was currently ranked first on the Genius Gold Rankings, crowned the strongest in the Upper Nine Realms. In the conflict at the True Dragon’s Lair not long ago, he had overpowered many powerful enemies and became the biggest winner!

Lin Xun just hadn’t expected that he would be the person Wanyin regarded as Imperial Son!

But if one thought about it, it was understandable why Shaohao was called that considering he was the young master of the Astral Imperial Clan.

“What? The mysterious Imperial Son is actually the overlord of the Genius Gold Rankings Shaohao?”

“He’s really concealed himself well!”

There was an uproar in the area as many cultivators were caught off guard by this information. It was the first time they had heard that such a world-defying giant like Shaohao had such an identity.

The appearance of Yu Xi, Bai Qian, and Yao Li at the bloody battle before the emperor’s mound had triggered endless speculations about their identities and caught the attention of many major powers.

After all, they had always been unknown despite their ridiculously powerful battle prowess. It was simply difficult not to attract attention!

Only now did everyone learn that these low-profile characters were all under Imperial Son Shaohao’s command!

This was just too shocking.

Shaohao alone was already a dazzling character with invincible sharpness that overshadowed the entire Upper Nine Realms. Yet, he still had an entire group of powerful subordinates behind him. Such a terrifying gathering of power could strike fear into anyone.

“I didn’t think Imperial Son would still remember a humble character like me,” said Lin Xun calmly. “Since that’s the case, there’s no need to bring up our previous conflict. Those who err unknowingly need not be held responsible.”

“Hmph!” In the distance, Bai Qian snorted coldly. “Lin Xun! What kind of attitude is that? If it wasn’t for the order of Lord Imperial Son, do you think we would apologize to you?”

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow. “So, you guys came here to apologize unwillingly?” His voice had turned cold.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, don’t misunderstand. Lord Imperial Son’s attitude is our attitude. We came here to put the past misunderstanding behind us,” said Wanyin softly.

“I see. Since you’ve done that, you can leave,” Lin Xun dismissed them.

He had previously chosen to let it slide not because he was generous. It was because he wanted to give Shaohao face and not make an enemy out of him.

But if the other party thought that he was easygoing, then they were very wrong!

Misunderstandings resolved didn’t mean that he would change his attitude towards them.

“You! What kind of attitude is that?!” Bai Qian’s eyes flashed with a bone-chilling gleam.

Yu Xi, Yao Li, and the others also frowned. They had indeed come here to apologize very unwillingly. If it hadn’t been for Shaohao making his order explicit, then they wouldn’t have chosen to endure and bow their heads.

And yet, Lin Xun took an ungrateful stance and even dismissed them with an assertive manner. What did he take them for?

“This is exactly my attitude. You have a problem with it?” Lin Xun’s expression was very calm and indifferent. One would expect apologies to be sincere, but so far, he hadn’t seen any trace of sincerity from them at all.

His response made their faces darken.

The atmosphere became tense.

The crowd were also uncertain as they realize Wanyin’s group didn’t seem to come here just to apologize.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun’s stern attitude amazed them. It was a group of extremely powerful acolytes under Shaohao that he was dealing with, but he wasn’t one bit courteous!

“Fellow Daoist Lin, we have come here to apologize to you on the order of Lord Imperial Son, and also for another matter.” Wanyin had been the only one in the group to remain unperturbed. The feeling she gave off was almost surreal as her figure was as faint as a drizzle.

“So it wasn’t just to apologize. Say it.” Lin Xun smiled coldly.

He had already had a feeling that they weren’t here just for the sake of apologizing. Otherwise, why would they need to come with such a large force?

“Before we get into the matter, let me introduce my fellow disciples.”

Wanyin’s voice was ethereal and distant. She seemed very patient as she continued to introduce her group.

“This is Bai Qian from White Tiger Lineage, which I’m sure you’ve heard about. Members of this lineage possess an extraordinary heritage and have been known as the clan of Gods of Killing since the beginning of the Ancient Era. Currently, Fellow Daoist Bai Qian has reached the peak of the seventh longevity stage.”

“Hmph!” Bai Qian’s expression revealed a touch of arrogance. As his white hair danced in the wind, his invisible murderous might emitted a tinkling sound and reflected the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The audience’s hearts trembled. The rumors are true! This guy Bai Qian is actually a White Tiger descendant! It’s a clan that rivals the True Dragon, Celestial Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and the other sacred lineages with their world-defying killing power!

“So it’s true that he’s a descendant of the White Tiger Lineage. During our previous fight, the strength he displayed didn’t quite live up to it,” commented Lin Xun casually.

Bai Qian’s proud expression instantly faltered, and his eyes surged with a terrifying killing intent.

“This is Yu Xi from Yayu Lineage [1] that once dominated the ancient era for a long period of time. Miss Yu Xi has awakened her bloodline talent and possesses a profound cultivation at the seventh longevity stage,” Wan Yin nonchalantly continued.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lin.” Yu Xi, wearing a red dress, had the appearance of a six or seven year old girl. However, her eyes were a stark contrast as they were mature and provocative.

The Yayu Lineage!

Many people felt their hands and feet turn cold. They were ancient-era creatures known for their brutal temperament and extremely vicious hobby of devouring strong cultivators.

If they hadn’t seen this with their own eyes, then they wouldn’t have believed that such a cute-looking little girl could be a descendant of the Yayu Lineage.

“This is Yao Li, a spirit offspring born from the origin wind. After becoming a wind god, he displays amazing talents and unparalleled speed.”

Yao Li’s figure was like a blur of shadows flickering in the sky, hard to grasp as it felt like he could disappear at any moment.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, where’s that big black bird? I’m very interested in it.” Yao Li’s voice was hoarse as he flitted from left to right and had an oozing cold breath.

Lin Xun glanced at him and said with a poker face, “Stay if you’re interested, I’ll introduce you guys later.”

“As for these two, they are twin brothers from the Fiend Devil Lineage. The elder brother is called Yan Shan, and the younger brother Yan Hai. They both are formidable cultivators and heirs of the ancient inheritance of Innate Demon Dao, and their aptitude for physical refinement can be considered unparalleled.”

The Fiend Devil Lineage!

Both Yan Shan and Yan Hai looked withered and thin like ascetic monks. Their breaths were calm and steady, and their energies were exceptionally condensed.

They stood still in the air like two mountains that contained monstrous fleshly power. Just one look from afar, and one could already feel the unshakable feeling that they gave off.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrow. This was the first time that he had seen the twins, and it was extremely rare to see twin stars like them who not only advanced together but also took the same path of becoming Saints through the fleshly body. Their battle prowess was bound to be amazing.

Meanwhile, the area had fallen into a dead silence.

After learning of the origins of Yu Xi, Bai Qian, Yao Li, Yan Shan and Yan Hai, anyone would know that all five of them were extremely dangerous characters!

Adding the mysterious Wanyin to the mix, this kind of lineup would be feared anywhere in the Upper Nine Realms.

“Now that you’re done with the introduction, time to get down to business.” Lin Xun’s expression was unperturbed. To be exact, he hadn’t shown a single fluctuation of emotions since the beginning.

The other party was indeed terrifying, but if they thought that this could shock him and affect his mentality, then they were very wrong.

At least for Lin Xun, some of the supreme characters who had died at his hands hadn’t been inferior to these people when it came to backgrounds and origins, such as Underworld Son and Bai Longting.

“Fellow Daoist Lin is very straightforward, and I appreciate your character. Truth be told, we only want to ask for the God Devourer Insect as it is the guardian insect of Lord Imperial Son’s lineage and must not go astray.” Wanyin finally made her intentions clear.

“So that’s why you came.” Lin Xun swept his gaze over Wanyin’s group. “Is this Shaohao’s order?”

Wanyin shook her head. “Lord Imperial Son is in seclusion and has no time to pay attention to such a trivial matter. But we, as subordinates, must share his worries.” Saying this, her expression grew solemn, and she cupped her fist. “I implore you to make this easy for us, Fellow Daoist Lin. As long as you hand over the God Devourer Insect, we will leave immediately.”

“Heh.” Lin Xun chuckled, then sighed, “I really thought you came to apologize, but it turns out that you came to rob. No wonder you’ve brought so many helpers. Should I feel honored? Or can I just laugh, because this is just ridiculous.”
