Chapter 1098 Set Foot on Black Nightmare Mountain

Herd Saints!

All the Saints watching in secret inhaled sharply and shuddered from a chill crawling up from their spine to their heads. They felt as cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

It was already humiliating enough for a Saint to be turned to an animal.

But now, the woman wanted to herd them. This...was akin to trampling on the dignity of those Saints!

Even if they survived, their reputation would be utterly destroyed and they would never be able to hold their heads up ever again!

Who is she?

A feeling of fear gripped everyone.

It was then that they noticed the mysterious woman turning around in the distance and running her eyes over them all, which instantly petrified them to the spot.

“Today, I want to announce to the world that anyone who dares to bully the weak in the future, I won’t mind paying a visit to your sect or clan.” Her voice, cold and threatening, made everyone’s expression change indefinitely.

“But if it’s competition among peers, I won’t interfere at all.”

Her follow up sentence filled everyone’s faces with surprise as well as understanding.

The woman did not mind rivalry among the younger generation, but if anyone dared to take advantage of the status and identity of their sect or clan to target Lin Xun, then she would not hesitate to come to their door in person and retaliate!

The revenge of a boundlessly terrifying woman like her would make any sect or clan carefully consider the serious consequences of angering her!

“Let’s go!”

As the mysterious woman stepped forward, the mountains and valleys quaked, the wind and clouds altered, and auspicious light swept the area, creating a magnificent atmosphere.

When her feet touched the ground, a golden rainbow spread outwards from her feet, shooting into the sky and spreading further into the endless void.

Faintly, everyone seemed to see that, with the woman’s steps, a dragon was soaring into the sky, a celestial phoenix was dancing in the air, and the Black Tortoise was opening up a path for her…

Wisps of splendidly colorful, auspicious clouds hovered around her, raining down divine light as if to protect the woman.

The scene was akin to an empress traveling in the legends!

“She…”

“Even a Saint King…likely won’t have such amazing powers, right?”

The Saints watching from the distance trembled, astonished by the rare and legendary spectacle.

In the blink of an eye, the woman vanished, leaving only trails of divine light flickering in the sky like a dream.

Disappeared with the woman was Lin Xun and the herd of goats and a dog.

She indeed was going to herd Saints!

……

The world fell still and tranquility was restored to the shores of Star Chess Sea.

However, all the Saints were still in frozen silence, trying to digest everything they had seen.

The appearance of six saints was already enough to cause a sensation in the world, but now, those six saints met with disaster and were being treated like livestock!

If word got out, then it would set off storms across the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain!

“From today on, who in this world would dare to treat Lin Xun like they did before?”

“Indeed, Lin Xun already possesses incredible talent that has amazed the world, and now he has gained such a strong backing. No one can stop him from rising anymore.”

“I’m just curious about…who is she?”

The Saints of different sects and clans discussed with one another. The epic battle just now had too great of an impact on them.

They knew that this matter could not be kept under wraps and would inevitably cause great upheaval.

“Old man, let’s also go take a look.” A’lu’s eyes gleamed. “They are going to herd goats—a herd of Saint goats. That’s so exciting! It’s unheard of!”

The old man donned a complex look on his face and sighed, “That…it’s best not to get involved in this matter. That woman’s background is not ordinary. I thought that she already…in ancient times...who would have thought...hey, let’s not talk about this.”

A’lu scrunched his face in confusion and jumped to his feet. “Old man, what the hell do you want to say?”

PA!

The old man gave A’lu another slap on his forehead and scolded, “Why are you so impatient? Do you want to know the secret? Wait until you step into the realm of the absolute apex king first!” He grabbed A’lu by the arm and turned around to leave.

“Old man, what are you doing? I’m not going back to the village, I want to find my big brother!” A’lu yelled.

But no matter how he protested, he was still taken away.

On the shores of Star Chess Sea, everyone left one after another and peace was slowly restored to the area.

……

Almost immediately, the news came out and shook the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Among the Saints who spectated the earth shaking battle was a Saint from the Windspeaker Clan. How would the news not spread like wildfire?

In the four major worlds of Ancient Wasteland Domain, wherever there was a news tree, there was a great storm set off.

“Six Saints were dispatched! Everyone thought that Demon God Lin couldn’t escape death this time. Who would have imagined that such a shocking reversal would happen?!”

“Heavens! Who is that mysterious woman? How can she crush all the Saints by herself?”

There was an uproar everywhere like a cauldron was exploding.

No one could stay calm because the battle involved Saint-level experts. It would be hard for it to not draw any attention!

“She herded the Saints…that’s...that’s unbelievable!”

All ancient sects and clans were stricken when they heard the news.

Someone cried out anxiously, “Quick! Find more information about this matter. No matter what, we must find out who the mysterious woman is!”

“When did Demon God Lin find such backing? Could she be an old monster from a certain Hidden Holy Land?”

All sorts of discussions, speculations, and analysis filled different places.

The whole world was in turmoil!

And long before the storm swept the world, the mysterious woman and Lin Xun had already herded a herd of goats and a black dog to a magnificent ancient mountain.

Their speed was indeed incredible. Lin Xun felt he had only taken a few breaths when they had already moved thousands of miles!

Lin Xun couldn’t help but yearn for such a teleportation ability. He would never need to use a teleportation array again.

“This is the Black Nightmare Mountain, the origin of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Can. There are not many clans that I detest, but this clan is one of them,” stated the mysterious woman.

“Woof! Woof!”

The black dog that Saint Xuetu transformed into was barking like mad, filled with exasperation and shame.

But when the mysterious woman glanced at him, he could only tremble and whimper while cowering on the ground.

Lin Xun widened his eyes in disbelief. Is he still a Saint? He looks so tragic...

“We have to hurry up.” The woman suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky.

Lin Xun sharply sensed an indescribable cold intent emanating from the woman. It was as though something within the depths of the sky made her feel disgusted and repulsed.

Boom!

Before Lin Xun could figure it out, the woman stretched out her fair hand and swung it across the air.

Not far away, a terrifying, great blood-colored array rumbled out from the towering mountain, as if to block the palm strike.

But instantly, a hole was blasted into the array, and it faded in a rain of light.

Lin Xun gasped. If he wasn’t mistaken, the tremendous array that protected the Black Nightmare Mountain should be a Saint-level array. It might not be as terrifying as the Zhoutian Star Dipper Array, but it was still miraculously powerful.

But, it crumbled under a palm strike!

“Who?!”

“Which idiot dares to come to our clan to cause trouble? Do you want to die?!”

Following the explosion of the great array, the scenery of Black Nightmare Mountain changed, revealing never-ending rows upon rows of buildings lining the mountains.

Then, a group of cultivators charged out with murderous rage.

It seemed that they never expected someone in the world would dare to come to the door of their Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan to cause trouble.

But they were struck dumb when they saw a man and a woman outside the mountain gate, as well as a herd of goats and a black dog.

What a bizarre sight! Are they here to herd goats on Black Nightmare Mountain? And with a sheepdog...

Wait!

Their eyes almost popped out their sockets when they took a closer look at the black dog. That’s not a sheepdog! He’s one of our clansmen!

Their expressions turned dark, and their eyes flashed with intense murderous intent as they looked at Lin Xun and the mysterious woman.

However, an indifferent glance from the mysterious woman froze them to the spot. Their spirits suddenly throbbed with unbearable pain, their visions dimmed, and they dropped to the ground with a thud. They all fainted without exception.

They could not utter a single sound!

A hint of pity flashed across Lin Xun’s eyes. Those dogs are probably used to being arrogant so they never imagined that the person in front of them is a superior being.

“Is it boring?” asked the woman.

Lin Xun shook his head and said with a smile, “No, it’s very satisfying!”

“Not for me. I feel like a bully taking advantage of the weak. I have to find some important guys to bully.”

She stared into the depths of Black Nightmare Mountain. “Let’s go in.”

As she spoke, she herded the goats and dog forward.

Even if the mysterious woman knew that this place was the base of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, a powerful ancient clan, she still thought nothing about it. Her boldness made Lin Xun feel something stir inside him like waves of excitement rippling through his veins.

Rumble!

As the mysterious woman moved forward, even though all the defenses of the Black Nightmare Mountain had been set off, they still crumbled one after another like paper mache, unable to obstruct her one bit.

During this process, experts of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan continuously emerged and surrounded her like a tide, but only to collapse on the ground before they even got close!

No one could stand long before her, let alone stop her!

Lin Xun was amazed once again. If he possessed such heaven-defying powers, where in the world would he not be able to go?

Even invading a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den would be as easy as walking on flat earth!

Black Nightmare Mountain was tall, tremendous, and surrounded in mists of spiritual qi. Beautiful springs and waterfalls littered the mountain, and rare medicinal herbs were abundant. It was much like a treasured place of immortals.

However, the arrival of the mysterious woman and Lin Xun completely broke the tranquil atmosphere of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan’s territory.
