Chapter 1571: Ask the Saints How Many of Them There are

Blood Demon Territory.

On the ninth floor of Victory Tower.

Lin Xun has some fierce notoriety indeed, but I deem him nothing more than a brattish clown. Why would he be worthy of me personally taking action?

This was the content of the letter from the leader of the Absolute Yin Camp being presented to Xue Qingyi.

Written in Zhu Yingkong’s sharp and refined handwriting, every single sentence exuded a sense of disdain, superiority, and arrogance that hit Xue Qingyi in the face.

Crumple!

Xue Qingyi rubbed the letter between his palm until it turned into powder. His face was dim as he cursed in a low voice, “Zhu Yingkong, you will regret this sooner or later!”

Then, he took a deep breath and opened the second letter.

I am at this juncture of breaking through to a higher level in my cultivation, so I hope for Brother Xue’s forgiveness and understanding that I will not be able to travel to the Ancient Wasteland Territory in person.

However, in my opinion, Lin Xun will be but a mantis trying to block a chariot or an egg throwing itself at a stone if he dares to stop the experts of our eight domains from entering the Origin Magnet Secret Realm. As such, Brother Xue needs not be too concerned about it.

This was the reply from Kun Shaoyu, the leading figure of the North Sea Camp.

Crumple!

Xue Qingyo ripped the letter and rubbed it into powder as his expression darkened further.

After all that has been said, this damned Kun Shaoyu still doesn’t take Lin Xun seriously and refuses to join hands with me to kill him.

“Jian Qingchen has entered seclusion, Zhu Yingkong is so proud that he puts it beneath him, and Kun Shaoyu disregards Lin Xun completely…” pondered Xue Qingyi with a frown.

Just a while ago, he had personally written and sent letters to the leaders of the other seven domains about joining forces and taking advantage of the Origin Magnet Secret Realm’s descent to kill Lin Xun, who was their current greatest enemy.

In the message, he had analyzed some of Lin Xun’s deeds very carefully, specifically about how unusual this person was, and that if they didn’t seize this opportunity to kill him now, then it would be very difficult to come across another one in the future.

He had also mentioned that with Lin Xun around, the Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators would have a good chance to enter the Origin Magnet Secret Realm, and so their camp would inevitably gain many more supreme Saints as a result.

This, in turn, would place the eight domains in an unfavorable position.

Xue Qingyi had reckoned that as long as the other leaders weren’t stupid, they would certainly take this matter seriously after reading his letter.

Who would have thought that this would be their reply?!

Xue Qingyi was frustrated.

If Lin Xun was that easy to deal with, how could he have turned the Blood Demon Territory upside down with his killing spree by himself, and then tricked the seven domains’ allied forces into their demise?

But both Zhu Yingkong and Kun Shaoyu refused to take part in this plan to kill Lin Xun in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity… Just how stupid was this?

Xue Qingyi knew that Zhu Yingkong and the others weren’t idiots. On the contrary, each of them was smarter than the last, or else they wouldn’t have been able to become the leading figures of their domains.

It was just that, when it came to this matter of treating Lin Xun, they just wouldn’t take it seriously!

At this moment, an elder hurried into the great hall and respectfully presented a letter. “Young Master, this is the response from Nine Dark Camp’s Chi Wushu.”

Xue Qingyi opened the letter and read it. His eyes immediately went wide, and he was so angry that he almost coughed up blood.

The letter wrote:

What’s gotten into you, Xue Qingyi? Is this a joke? The eight of us teaming up just to deal with one man? How can you not be embarrassed? Or is it because Lin Xun made too big of a scene in the Blood Demon Territory last time that it has scared you out of your wits?

Between the lines were nothing but contempt and sarcasm, making Xue Qingyi so angry that he gnashed his teeth and was itching to find Chi Wushu for a fight.

He refused to join forces? Fine! But why did he have to humiliate me?

He thinks I’m easy to bully?!

Xue Qingyi took a long time to keep his rage under control. Only then did he notice the troubled look on the elder’s face.

“What is it? If you have something to say, say it.” Xue Qingyi frowned.

“Young Master, Lie Qian of the Heavenly Flame Ancient Domain has sent his words.” The elder was hesitant to continue.

Xue Qingyi’s face sank. “That guy didn’t even bother to write a letter? Tell me, what did he say?”

The elder bit the bullet and said, “No time.”

Xue Qingyi froze, struggling to believe his ears. He asked, “No time? Just these two words?”

The elder had a bitter taste in his mouth as he nodded with difficulty.

Xue Qingyi felt a rush of blood to his head. His face quickly darkened, and he was so enraged that his lungs almost exploded.

No time!

The disdain in these two words was completely undisguised.

“Good, good, very good! Just for these two words alone, Lie Qian shall never see the least bit of aid from me if his Heavenly Flame Camp is ever in trouble!” Xue Qingyi slapped the table in his outburst.

Jian Qingchen’s seclusion, then the successive refusals from Kun Shaoyu, Zhu Yingkong, Chi Wushu, and Lie Qian gave Xue Qingyi the exasperation one would feel when their smart peers suddenly turned into childish buffoons during an important strategic meeting.

“Is the fiasco of the seven domains’ army not enough for them to learn the lesson?

“They all thought that I was frightened by Lin Xun into becoming a coward, but how can an opponent who can make me, Xue Qingyi, pay so much mind to, be an insignificant character? Did this never occur to them at all?!

“Stupid! A bunch of arrogant, conceited fools!”

𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The roars of Xue Qingyi echoed in the big hall. He could not control his rage anymore.

With the imminent emergence of the Origin Magnet Secret Realm, Lin Xun was bound to show up there. Moreover, he wouldn’t be able to just hide somewhere as he needed to protect his fellow Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators as they sought the opportunities to become supreme Saints.

This was no doubt a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Lin Xun!

But Xue Qingyi had never felt so deeply anguished at this moment.

If such an excellent opportunity was missed, then it would only be immensely harder to kill Lin Xun in the future, and the objective of ‘first eliminate Ancient Wasteland’ would also encounter great obstacles.

Because, at that time, the weak Ancient Wasteland Camp would definitely gain a large number of supreme Saints!

A long time later, Xue Qingyi let out a long sigh. “It’s a pity that none of them can see this, and rightly so, as they have not experienced their City of Protection going through a bloody siege like we did. Of course they can’t possibly understand how difficult and tricky an enemy that Lin Xun is.”

On this same day, however, Xue Qingyi finally obtained two pieces of good news.

One was that the leading figure of the Star Fiend Camp, Shi Pohai, had given his word to make a trip to the Origin Magnet Secret Realm.

The other was that the leading figure of the East Mulberry Camp, Hua Hongxiao, had also accepted his invitation to join forces.

This reassured Xue Qingyi quite a bit.

He also had predicted that not all of the other leaders would agree to his plan, but he hadn’t expected that only two of them would agree.

“These jerks! Refusing to join me so that they can watch the show in safety while benefiting from my hard work! Simply hateful!”

At the thought that he still ended up having to personally carry out this plan of dealing with Lin Xun, Xue Qingyi felt a pang of frustration in his heart.

But he had no other choice.

If he didn’t act this time, then it would be difficult to find such another perfect opportunity to avenge his Blood Demon Ancient Domain in the future.

The participation of Shi Pohai and Hua Hongxiao added a great deal of certainty and confidence to Xue Qingyi.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Qingyi calmed himself down and started analyzing the situation.

“While those fellows won’t make a move this time, they will definitely still deploy a large number of supreme Saints from their camp, which will make my plan easier. As long as Lin Xun shows up, he will become the target of a full-scale siege.

“At that time, Shi Pohai, Hua Hongxiao, and I will attack together. Killing Lin Xun will be a piece of cake!”

……

As the descent of the Origin Magnet Secret Realm drew closer, foreign enemies from the other eight domains could be seen almost everywhere in the Ancient Wasteland Territory. Coming in groups, they were all waiting on the warpath.

Owing to their overwhelming advantage in numbers and overall strength, they were fearless despite knowing that Lin Xun was watching over the City of Protection.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that they were preparing to compete for opportunistic fortunes in the Origin Magnet Secret Realm, they would have wanted to go and test if the Ancient Wasteland Territory’s City of Protection could actually block their invasion!

After all, the seven domains’ army had failed so miserably last time that they had lost a great deal of face. While it wasn’t a fatal blow to their force, the loss could still be considered quite significant.

Due to this, they all had some pent-up anger in their hearts.

They had always carried a sense of superiority in front of the Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators, viewing the latter as two-legged sheep and sparing no effort to deride and humiliate them.

Therefore, the fact that their allied force had actually lost at the hands of the very Ancient Wasteland Camp that they disdained so much was too suffocating to accept.

Recently, the Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators had been lying low in their City of Protection without going out at all.

But as the Origin Magnet Secret Realm’s arrival date drew nearer and nearer, everyone could feel the turbulence and pressure in the atmosphere of the Ancient Wasteland Territory. A storm was coming.

One day.

A heavy sound of something collapsing and shattering suddenly resounded through the sky of the Ancient Wasteland Territory. Then, divine lights shot down and transformed into Law Power that intertwined and dispensed a colorful rain of light. The whole world seemed to be immersed in a sacred and boundless power.

“The Origin Magnet Secret Realm is descending!”

At this moment, all the foreign forces scattered throughout the Ancient Wasteland Territory were alerted. And then, they revealed frenzied, exhilarated expressions.

“Quick! The entrance will appear in the easternmost part!”

“That would be the Black Cliff Sea. Let’s go!”

All at once, the foreign cultivators set off toward the same area.

The Origin Magnet Secret Realm held the opportunities to supreme Sainthood. No cultivators in the nine domains could remain indifferent and not covet it.

On the City of Protection’s wall, Lin Xun stood with his arms folded. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were profound as he gazed into the distance.

Standing behind him were Shaohao, Ruowu, and a host of experts.

Meanwhile, the likes of Little Silver, Little Sky, Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, Mi Hengzhen, Yue Jianming, and Ji Xingyao who qualified to become supreme Saints had all been placed inside the Dao Endless Pagoda by Lin Xun.

He turned around and said solemnly, “The City of Protection will be in your care. Please make sure you two won’t venture out no matter what happens.”

Shaohao and Ruowu both nodded. “Rest assured, Brother Lin.”

Lin Xun’s gaze then swept across the crowd before eventually landing on Zhao Jingxuan who stood next to him. There was a sudden surge of bravado in his heart, and with a spontaneous smile, he said, “I have never felt stronger, so I shall ask the Saints how many of them there are, and then see if I can reap those heads in one go. Everyone, just wait and see what I’m capable of!”

As his voice echoed with a heroic spirit, Lin Xun teleported away with Zhao Jingxuan like a whirlwind.
