YM778.TV Chapter 1027: He Came for Revenge
It was unknown how many uproars it set off.
“Who is he?”
Countless cultivators were curious about the identity of the man who challenged five towers on the same day.
……
“It is unheard of that someone could beat the records of Yun Qingbai in one day!”
“Yun Qingbai is like an invincible legend. But now, his position has finally been shaken.”
Many more people were stunned by the news.
……
“Yun Qingbai’s records were from ten years ago. They are just records and will be broken one day. Why are you all so surprised?”
“That’s right. It’s just his records from ten years ago. Yun Qingbai’s position can’t be shaken.”
Some cultivators disagreed.
……
But it was utter turmoil in the Omega Sword Sect.
Some people were outraged, some were anxious, and some refused to accept it, clamoring to capture and kill Lin Xun.
Of course, they didn’t know who Lin Xun was.
This was the most embarrassing thing for them. Not only did a young man of unknown background beat Yun Qingbai’s five records, but they, as overlords of Baiyujing, also could not figure out his identity. They would become a laughingstock if this matter went out.
……
Kong Ling’s face was ice-cold and gloomy.
As she walked along the bustling street, a cloud of indescribable hatred and shame hovered in her heart.
Yun Qingbai gifted her with the Night Flower Sword.
But on the same day, the sword was taken away. How would she not be enraged?
As someone ranked third among the Thirteen Swords of the Omega Sword Sect, she possessed many skills and abilities that she was proud of.
Her grace and beauty were unrivaled, and her strength was superb. She was from the mysterious ancient Five-Colored Peacock Clan. She was remarkable in every aspect.
But today, she suffered the most embarrassing and darkest day of her life!
“Don’t let me know who he is!” She gritted her teeth, and her eyes blazed with fury.
“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s Demon God Lin!” A voice from the distance snapped Kong Ling out of her state of rage and self-blame.
Before she knew it, she was standing in the vicinity of the Dao Practice Tower again.
However, this place was no longer as quiet and deserted. Many cultivators had gathered outside the building.
The one who spoke was a man in black. His face was cold and stern, his eyes were sunken in, and his body was surrounded by a bloodthirsty aura.
“What Demon God Lin?” someone asked.
The black-robed man explained, “Of course it’s the guy who deserves to be hacked into thousands of chunks. A while ago, he turned the Ancient Blue Province upside down, brought chaos to the Heaven Axis Holy Land, and caused an outrage. Don’t you guys know about that?”
“How can you be sure that he is the one who broke Yun Qingbai’s records?”
Many people refused to believe it.
The man in black sneered, “I’d recognize him even if he turned into ashes. As for whether you believe it or not, I don’t care.” As he was speaking, he strode away from the crowd.
But before he had gone far, he was stopped by Kong Ling.
“Miss, who are you?” The black-robed man’s pupils shrank, and his face skewed with fear.
“Are you sure that Demon God Lin did it?” Kong Ling was already filled with pent-up anger so she wouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to find out more about the news.
“I’m certain!” The black-robed man nodded. Although the woman in front of him was as beautiful as a fairy, her aura was fierce and menacing.
Her gaze felt like blades slashing the black-robed man’s soul.
“Are you sure?” Kong Ling asked, seemingly calm, yet an oppressive power filled the nearby area as she spoke.
The black-robed man shuddered, noticing that his spirit was about to collapse.
“To tell you the truth, I come from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. My name is Gou Xuxing, and I have a death feud with Demon God Lin!”
The black-robed man hissed through gritted teeth, “When I found out that he had shown up in the East Victory World, I immediately headed to the Ancient Blue Province and mobilized all the powers of the clan to conduct a comprehensive investigation. In the end, the result confirmed that the boy is Demon God Lin...”
Kong Ling interrupted before he finished. “Stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask you whether you are sure that the person who broke the records of the five towers today is Demon God Lin?”
Gou Xuxing’s expression tensed up. “Miss, in the entire ancient wasteland, when it comes to tracking skills, I dare to say that the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan is the best.”
“I can guarantee with my head that the person who broke all records of the five towers is Demon God Lin. I have already checked the vicinity of the Dao Practice Tower just now, and I have detected his scent. I’m not wrong.” His tone and words were full of confidence.
“Lin Xun...Demon God Lin...so you are a fierce character from the West Infinity World...”
Kong Ling’s beautiful face brightened. She couldn’t wait to pass this information back to the sect.
Gou Xuxing took the opportunity to add, “Miss, when that boy was in the West Infinity World, he almost caused me to die. I see that you also hate him to the bone. Why don’t we...work together to deal with him. What do you think?”
“I think you are a coward and are full of hot air!” Kong Ling’s eyes flashed with undisguised disgust.
She was a successor from the Omega Sword Sect and also a direct descendant of the Five-Colored Peacock Clan. Given her prideful and lofty temperament, how would she work with the infamous Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan?
So there wasn’t a hint of politeness in her words.
Gou Xuxing felt anger flooding his veins, but he could only suppress it. Given his status and identity, he indeed wasn’t qualified to act arrogantly in Baiyujing.
“I will remember you. If you dare lie to me, then I won’t hesitate to take your head off!” With that, Kong Ling fluttered away.
“Damn it, one day, I will crush you bitch!” Gou Xuxing raged in his heart.
In the evening of the same day, the news that Lin Xun was the one who smashed all records of the five towers spread throughout Baiyujing.
Demon God Lin!
That night, his name became known to countless cultivators in Baiyujing.
……
The Omega Sword Sect, Dao Martial Peak.
Inside the Cloud Light Hall.
“How could he be so strong...how could...” Zhao Jingzhen seemed to be out of sorts as if he had suffered a huge blow. His usual proud and contemptuous attitude had crumbled.
He had heard all the news about Lin Xun after he arrived at the Ancient Wasteland Domain.
Including how he stirred up storms in the West Infinity World and what he had done in the Ancient Blue Province not long ago.
All of it, like a heavy hammer, shattered Zhao Jingzhen’s pride and confidence. He almost broke down.
It had only been a few years since he saw the country bumpkin, but he had grown so strong already.
“So, if you want to get revenge, you have to consider it carefully, and you must not let down your guard!” Meng Rong calmly pointed out, “You have to remember that your only advantage over him now is that you have the support of your grandfather and I, but that is far from enough. Most importantly, you need to grow up quickly!”
Zhao Jingzhen said hesitantly, “But...he has already set foot onto the Supreme Path, and his strength is unrivaled at the Cyclic Derivation Stage. I…”
“That’s not an excuse!” Meng Rong interrupted.
A deep voice echoed, “Meng Rong, don’t scold Jingzhen anymore. Quickly come here now.”
Father!
Meng Rong trembled inwardly.
……
The third floor of the Cloud Light Hall was an independent place for quiet cultivation.
An old man with a tall figure and silver hair and a beard was sitting cross-legged on a praying mat. He exuded the terrifying aura unique to experts of the king stage.
The old man was Meng Qiujing, Meng Rong’s father!
He also had another identity, an influential and powerful elder of the Omega Sword Sect!
“Father, what’s the matter?” Meng Rong bowed as she arrived.
“Have you heard about the matter of the five towers’ records being broken?” Meng Qiujing asked indifferently.
“Yes.”
“Then, do you know who did it?”
“Who?” Meng Rong frowned in puzzlement. Her father has been in closed-door cultivation in preparation to tackle the third longevity tribulation, so why would he suddenly care about such a matter?
“Lin Xun!”
When Meng Qiujing stated that name, Meng Rong froze like she was struck by lightning.
Only a good moment later did she cry out, “How could it be him?”
Meng Qiujing said indifferently, “Why can’t it be him? It has been confirmed, and there is no mistake. I didn’t call you here to watch you lose your composure.”
Meng Rong trembled inwardly but she quickly took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart. “Father, please tell me.”
“That boy had his Origin Aeth Artery taken away back then. He was doomed to be crippled even if he survived, but he turned out to have achieved such amazing feats at such a young age. In my view, he must have recreated another Origin Aeth Artery!
“Otherwise, it’s impossible that he has undergone such an unbelievable transformation.”
Meng Qiujing stated with a pensive look on his face, and his eyes shone brightly. “What Yun Qingbai did when he descended to the lower domain back then…only a few people in the sect knew about it.
“After that incident, Yun Qingbai gained a great fortune that supplemented his dao path, allowing him to step into the Supreme Path and comprehend a remarkable grand dao power!
“Otherwise, it would have taken him much longer to earn the title of strongest below the king stage.”
Meng Rong’s emotions roiled.
She was the one who secretly informed her father, Meng Qiujing, about the birth of a baby with the Origin Aeth Artery in the Lin Clan.
After that, his father, Meng Qiujing, fed the information to Yun Qingbai. Then the bloody incident that happened in the Lin Clan followed.
This was an extremely secretive matter, and only a few people in the entire Omega Sword Sect knew about it. If it was exposed, it would no doubt cause unpredictable storms.
At that time, not only Yun Qingbai would be implicated, but she and her father would also be dragged into it!
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Meng Rong would rather never mention the matter again. But she never thought that her father would bring it up all of a sudden.
Meng Qiujing suddenly rose to his feet. His tall and imposing figure cast a long shadow in the empty hall.
“The reason why I reminded you of this is because the boy has shown up in the ancient wasteland. He must have come for revenge!” The indifferent but deep voice echoed in Meng Rong’s mind.
Her countenance changed and she couldn’t help trembling.
