Chapter 1396 Beast Kings’ Provocation
Haze City.
Lin Xuefeng looked at Lin Xun in surprise. “You’re back already, Clan Leader?”
Lin Xun had only left for two days.
“Mhm,” replied Lin Xun before asking, “Still no news about Scarlet Eagle King?”
Lin Xuefeng shook his head. “Master Song has been on the lookout, but so far he hasn’t found anything.”
Lin Xun frowned and didn’t say anything.
“By the way, Master Song sent some intel this morning.” Lin Xuefeng took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Xun. “Please take a look. The death of Golden Armor King has raised a huge uproar in the empire. Some monster-beast Kings are clamoring that sooner or later they will make you...”
Lin Xun smiled. “Make me what?”
The question troubled Lin Xuefeng. “It’s better you see it for yourself.”
Lin Xun opened the jade slip and skimmed through it. Raising his eyebrows, he laughed coldly, “I was planning to kill those sinful animals soon, but who’d have thought that they would start barking at me first?”
An invisible murderous aura spread from him, causing Lin Xuefeng to hold his breath. He shivered in excitement, realizing that his clan leader was about to go on a killing spree again!
......
“This Lin Xun’s not far from death. Let’s see how many days left he can still bounce around!”
This was the sneer of a great monster-beast who occupied an eastern province of the empire and was worshiped as the Earth Dragon King.
Such words immediately stirred the empire.
Lin Xun’s might and momentum was at their peak since he had just killed the Golden Armor King and annihilated the forces at Yin Soul Mountain not long ago. Therefore, it was surprising to hear a monster-beast King dare to be so provocative at a time like this.
“Isn’t the Earth Dragon King just a mud-eating earthworm who’s lucky on the path of cultivation? That’s some big talk. He’s simply tired of living!”
“Mud-eating beasts have the stinkiest mouths. Only idiots will believe the things coming out of his mouth.”
Many cultivators raised their voices, believing that Earth Dragon King was seeking death.
From their conversations, it was easy to see the Ziyao Empire’s extreme confidence in Lin Xun and scornful attitude toward the Earth Dragon King’s words.
Not long after, however, White Wasp King also had something to say, “Heh. Death may come late, but it’s never absent. I hope you stupid humans can still laugh when Lin Xun dies!”
The atmosphere in the empire instantly changed, and countless cultivators began to feel alarmed as the White Wasp King was one of the ten most powerful monster-beast Kings in the empire, having killed a dozen of King experts over the last ten years!
The White Wasp King’s original form was rumored to be an ancient creature that possessed extremely terrifying abilities and was listed as one of the most dangerous enemies in the empire’s intelligence.
Now that even White Wasp King had taken a strong stance against Lin Xun, everyone was alarmed.
Afterward, several other notorious demon-beast Kings also spoke out with scorn and threat toward Lin Xun, causing the air in the entire empire to become heavy and depressing.
For example, the Fire Molten King, who occupied the northwestern desert of the empire, threw out a curt sentence: “This Lin Xun must die!”
The Ink Sheep King, who occupied the Flowing River Province, said murderously, “Once Lin Xun is eliminated, this empire shall be washed with the blood of its humans!”
A series of aggressive declarations from the monster-beast Kings threw the whole empire into turmoil and unrest.
Countless people were worried as they realized that a great calamity was about to befall Lin Xun!
“This is troublesome. No matter how powerful Master Lin is, he is all alone. It’s a very worrying situation that he’s being targeted by so many King stage monster-beasts,” some cultivators sighed.
“Apparently, they sensed a threat after Master Lin killed Golden Armor King, so they are all targeting him first.”
“Master Lin is in full power nowadays. Those monster-beast Kings definitely can’t fall asleep as long as he lives. But if he dies, it would be a heavy blow to our empire!”
The news was being discussed in every corner of the empire.
Even Zhao Jingxuan in the imperial palace was alarmed and had to summon the ministers to discuss a solution to this storm.
In the Qingyuan Hall.
“Those rampant beasts! How dare they bare their fangs like that in the boundaries of our empire?! Do they think we have no one left?” A minister was indignant and suggested mobilizing all of the empire’s forces to fight the monster-beast Kings to the death.
“Your Highness, we mustn’t be reckless. The empire is facing more than just the scourge of demonic beasts. The Brute Warriors are still lurking around our borders, waiting for an opportunity to strike. The consequences would be unimaginable if we go on a full-scale war because of Lin Xun.”
Many refuted the idea and advised Zhao Jingxuan to think twice before acting.
“Your Highness, I don’t think things have gotten that serious yet. Why don’t we...just wait and see?”
“Wait and see? It’s all f*cking on fire! Wait and see my ass!”
“If you think my suggestion is not good, then why don’t you tell me your brilliant idea to resolve this immediate threat?”
The hall was in chaos as the ministers argued to the point that their faces and necks turned red. They glared angrily at each other, and no one was convinced by anyone.
Bang!
Zhao Jingxuan smacked the desk.
The ministers instantly shut up. The hall became dead quiet and solemn.
“A bunch of animals threw some threats around, and you all lost your senses and have gone haywire? If this gets out, you’ll be the laughingstock of the empire.”
Zhao Jingxuan’s voice echoed in the hall clearly and coldly, causing all the ministers to bow their heads in shame.
“I have my plans. You are dismissed.”
With that, she flung her sleeve and left.
On this day, Lin Xun received a letter from the imperial palace, written by Zhao Jingxuan herself, with only one sentence: “Lord Demon God, do you need this humble girl to lend you a hand?”
The corners of Lin Xun’s lips twitched imperceptibly. He didn’t expect that just the clamor of some monster-beast Kings would make Zhao Jingxuan worry for him.
“Just sit back and enjoy the show, humble lady.”
Lin Xun quickly returned with a letter that also had just one sentence.
Then, he stood up and gazed into the distance with a cold sneer. “Very bold of you, Monster-Beast Ancestor, to mobilize a bunch of beast Kings to deal with me. Unfortunately, I’ll have to disappoint you!”
On the same day, the Grand Universe Ark left the southwest province.
To get out of the trap, the Monster-Beast Ancestor would have to use those monster-beast Kings to collect a steady stream of ‘sacrifices’ and replenish his strength.
Lin Xun had already planned to cut down his minions one by one and destroy his hope of breaking free within ten years.
Now that those monster-beast Kings had taken the initiative to jump out and even cause chaos, Lin Xun was actually pleased.
Swish!
A jade slip suddenly appeared in Lin Xun’s palm out of nowhere and transformed into a detailed map of the empire.
After reading it for a moment, he locked onto a target that was closest to him.
“North Swallow Province, Sorrow Mountain Range, occupied by eight monster-beast Kings and their subordinates, whose leader is the ‘Black Bat King...’ Looks like this Black Bat King won’t be weaker than that Golden Armor King, if not even better, but that’s for the best.”
Lin Xun remembered that the news in the past two days had mentioned how this Black Bat King had also threatened to teach him a lesson.
“Hope you won’t disappoint me...”
A cold glint flashed in Lin Xun’s eyes as he put away the jade slip. The Grand Universe Ark turned into a streak of light that disappeared into the vast horizon.
......
North Swallow Province.
Just like in the Southwest Province, monster-beasts frequented the area, and everywhere was fire and smoke of war.
Many cities had turned into ruins, and the imperial army stationed in the province had to fight the monster-beasts that ravaged the area almost every day.
Bloodtooth City.
Just a few days ago, a massive battle had erupted in this city, resulting in the army’s collapse and the city being captured. At the moment, it had become ruins.
However, a team of about eight cultivators appeared today in the city.
The one leading the group was a slender, black-robed man with a resolute face.
“According to the information I’ve gathered, a canyon not far from this city is currently occupied by a monster-beast King called Blood Pheasant King, one of the ten big monster-beast Kings under the Black Bat King. Its strength is not to be underestimated,” said the black-robed man in a heavy voice.
Those cultivators following him were young men and women, but from their auras, they all seemed to be fierce and seasoned veterans who had a long experience in the battlefield.
When they looked at the black-robed man, their gazes carried a kind of heartfelt awe and respect.
“For safety’s sake, you all stay here. I alone am enough to deal with that Blood Pheasant King,” ordered the black-robed man.
“Instructor!” The cultivators were all anxious. “It’s too risky! The Blood Pheasant King is powerful and commands tens of thousands of troops. You can’t go alone. Please bring us along!”
As far as they were concerned, this was too risky and hasty of a decision, and the black-robed man was obviously putting his life on the line.
The black-robed man waved his hand and stopped them from talking. He gazed at the ruins that were Bloodtooth City with indescribable grief and hatred.
“You don’t understand. I grew up in this city. My parents, my brothers, and my clansmen...were all killed in the disaster several days ago. I must have my revenge!” His eyes were bloodshot, and his resentment was so overwhelming that his jaws were tightly clenched.
The others froze when they finally understood his reason.
“You all are still young, and you still have a long way to go in the future. Listen to me and stay here. This is my battle, and mine alone!”contemporary romance
The black-robed man took a deep breath, his expression becoming resolute.
“Do you still remember? Violet Glory Flower is undefeated because of blood kill, and the empire exists forever because of continued expeditions! This beast scourge shall not defeat our empire. And you all, in the future, are destined to grow and rise in battle and become the empire’s pillars!”
Finishing his words, the black-robed man was about to launch into action, when he suddenly noticed something and looked up.
He saw a treasure ship that had appeared in the sky at some point. At the bow of the ship stood a tall figure, and that person was looking right at him.
