Chapter 1628: Cousins

In the main hall, Yin Huan had to ask when she saw the strange expression on Mister Miaoxuan’s face. “Martial Uncle, do you know Lin Xun?”

“Have you not heard of this name when you traveled across the Ancient Wasteland Domain?”

Ao Zhentian said fiercely, “Is this Lin Xun the ‘Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield’?”

Mister Miaoxuan nodded.

Yin Huan and Ao Zhentian exchanged a glance with each other, looking surprised.

It is indeed him!

Recently, they had been traveling across the Ancient Wasteland Domain and along the way they heard nothing but stories about the great victory in the Conflict of the Nine Domains.

And the name ‘Lin Xun’ was mentioned every time.

How would Yin Huan and Ao Zhentian not have heard about him? They just never expected it to be the same Lin Xun.

“This means that he is a remarkable person. The fact that he could single-handedly overpower the heroes of the other eight domains means that he is invincible at the True Saint Stage,” Yin Huan said ruminatively. Her interest was piqued.

Although she came from the Ancient Nebula Road, she would not be so arrogant to think that no one else in the universe mattered. She knew very well how extraordinary it was to receive the title of Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield.

In the past two Conflicts of the Nine Domains, the two cultivators who achieved the title of Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield later set foot onto the Emperor Stage.

The Emperor Stage was an authority-like terrifying existence on the Ancient Nebula Road.

Would Lin Xun also set foot onto the Emperor Stage in the future?

It was hard to say.

But what was certain was that he definitely was qualified to tackle the Emperor Stage in the future given his foundation, ability, and his title as Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Ao Zhentian was obviously aware of this as he gave an acknowledging nod. “If this is true, then that boy is worthy of our attention.”

Mister Miaoxuan couldn’t help but smile and shook his head.

Worthy of your attention?

You just completely disregarded him!

Mister Miaoxuan also knew that cultivators on the Ancient Nebula Road were prideful. They not only had a sense of superiority over Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators, but also towards cultivators from the other eight domains.

This was particularly the case for outstanding characters such as Yin Huan and Ao Zhentian. They only paid attention to those who were more dazzling and stronger than them.

As for those weaker than them, they did not take them seriously.

Unfortunately, their background, vision, knowledge, and understanding had led them to make a mistake in their treatment of Lin Xun!

Immediately, Mister Miaoxuan realized a problem. “Seventh Prince, are you sure that the person you are looking for is with Lin Xun?”

Lin Xun, who was standing outside the hall, pricked up his ears. He had already guessed something in his heart, but he needed to confirm it first.

Ao Zhentian answered in a deep voice, “Yes, a few days ago, Miss Yin Huan and I went to the Spirit Treasure Holy Land and met a relative of my True Dragon Clan. I learned from him that the person I am looking for is with Lin Xun.”

“A relative?” Mister Miaoxuan looked taken aback.

“Yan Zhanqiu, his mother’s lineage is connected with my True Dragon Clan.”

Mister Miaoxuan then asked, “Then who are you looking for?”

Ao Zhentian did not hide anything from him. “I believe she is called Zhao Jingxuan now. Her mother is a core member of the True Dragon Clan. Based on the hierarchy of the clan, she is my aunt and Zhao Jingxuan is my cousin.”

After a pause, he continued, “I came here to bring my cousin back to the clan to participate in the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly. My grandfather ordered that my cousin should also participate.”

Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly!

Mister Miaoxuan gasped in astonishment, “Does that mean your True Dragon Clan has been born with a descendant able to inherit the Ancestral Dragon True Blood?”

Yin Huan answered. “That’s correct, this matter has already been known throughout the Ancient Nebula Road, and the one who is able to inherit the Ancestral Dragon True Blood is precisely the Seventh Prince.”

“Amazing. The Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly is held only once every thousands of years. This is a grand event that will cause a stir in the Ancient Nebula Road.” Mister Miaoxuan marveled, “And if the Seventh Prince inherits the Ancestral Dragon True Blood, given his foundation and background, sooner or later he will transform into the incredibly rare Ancestral Dragon Body and enjoy a boundless future.”

He never expected Ao Zhentian to be so remarkably talented!

It should be noted that as a descendant of the True Dragon Clan, he was born with a unique terrifying foundation that trumped those of many descendants from the majority clans in the world.

And within the True Dragon Clan, only one in a million descendants could inherit the Ancestral Dragon True Blood. Rarely would one appear in thousands of years.

Therefore, whenever that special descendant emerged, the True Dragon Clan would hold a Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly!

This was a major event that would shake the entire Ancient Nebula Road.

Knowing all this, Mister Miaoxuan could not help but exclaim out loud.

Ao Zhentian gave a modest smile in response to the compliments, but a look of superiority was faintly visible across his face.

At that moment, he noticed Lin Xun’s returning figure. He immediately furrowed his brows. “Why are you back again?”

Yin Huan was surprised at first, then her gaze turned ice-cold.

Mister Miaoxuan was about to say something when he saw Lin Xun march straight towards Ao Zhentian. “Did you say you want to take Jingxuan away?”

His voice was chilling, and his face was completely devoid of emotions.

Compared to when Lin Xun was in the hall earlier, he seemed to have become another person, with an invisible power radiating outwards from him.

At first, Ao Zhentian stared blankly at Lin Xun, as if he could not believe that he would dare talk to him in such a rude manner. Then, his eyes turned cold. “This matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you to watch what you say. This is the Divine Apparatus Pavilion so out of respect for Mister Miaoxuan, I will let you off this time. Otherwise, with your attitude, you would have been a dead man long ago!”

As he spoke, a vast aura rushed forth from his body like the roar of a dragon and then crashed down on Lin Xun like a tsunami.

Sitting down, he felt as if Lin Xun was looking down on him from the way he spoke. His pride and honor would not let this happen so he wanted to trample him to the ground!

But when Ao Zhentian’s power neared Lin Xun, it disappeared without a trace like a cup of soil disintegrating in water. Lin Xun was completely undaunted.

Ao Zhentian narrowed his eyes and chuckled in anger, “Haha, it seems like you have some ability!”

As he was speaking, he was already planning to bring out his true strength!

But Yin Huan stopped him. “Seventh Prince, wait a moment. I have something to ask him.”

She stood up.

Like Ao Zhentian, she did not want to lift her head to talk to Lin Xun.

“You suddenly returned and called her Jingxuan, and also aggressively questioned the Seventh Prince. If I’m not mistaken, you are Lin Xun.”

Her beauty was unmatched. She was dressed in a robe whiter than snow and with her beautiful hair tied with a simple red thread. But her tone and attitude was still cold and aloof. She was like a fairy from the summit of a snow mountain.

Mister Miaoxuan interrupted. “Yes, this little friend is Lin Xun. Let’s all sit down and have a chat together.”

He tried to lighten the mood.

But Ao Zhentian suddenly rose to his feet, his eyes beaming out a razor-sharp light. He looked directly at Lin Xun. “It turns out you are Lin Xun. Tell me where Zhao Jingxuan is now, and I will forget about what happened just now. I will also reward you handsomely after this, what do you say?”

He sounded thrilled, but there was also a hint of a commanding tone in his voice.

Mister Miaoxuan had a bad feeling. Indeed, Lin Xun’s eyes flashed coldly. “Forget about what happened earlier. Who do you think you are? How dare you say I was wrong?”

Ao Zhentian’s face instantly darkened, and his aura turned as frightening as an enraged dragon god. The imposing power exuding from his tall and built figure turned the atmosphere in the hall oppressive and austere.

“Seventh Prince, you must hold yourself back. We need this person’s help now. Otherwise, we might run into a lot of obstacles in bringing back Zhao Jingxuan,” Yin Huan advised through voice transmission.

“Hmph, he thinks he can do anything just because he has become the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield. In my opinion, we should just use force to suppress him. I don’t believe that he won’t bow his head!” Ao Zhentian snorted coldly.

Of course, he also used voice transmission.

“No, that's not a good idea. After all, we are in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and Lin Xun is known all over this world. He is at the height of power and even my Martial Uncle Miaoxuan will protect him and not let us touch him.” Yin Huan calmly analyzed. She shifted her glance to Lin Xun. “Friend, our attitude was a little disrespectful earlier. I hope you will forgive us.”

“Friend? Haha.” Lin Xun laughed.

His sneer sent Yin Huan’s blood boiling. She had already taken a step back, but that guy was still so unappreciative!

Ao Zhentian’s face also darkened. In his opinion, Lin Xun wanted to do this the hard way!

Noticing the tense atmosphere, Mister Miaoxuan forced a smile and chuckled. “My little friend, it was a misunderstanding. For my sake, I hope we can thaw the misunderstanding.”

Lin Xun said bluntly, “There’s no need. They and I are not the same people, but I’ll say this now, whoever wants to take Jingxuan away must get past me first!”

With that, he strode out of the hall.

Ao Zhentian had come to take away Zhao Jingxuan. No matter what his reason was for doing so, he could not tolerate it.

As long as he was around, he would not let that happen. Unless Zhao Jingxuan left on her own will.

So what if they were from the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect? So what if they were from the True Dragon Clan?

Ever since Lin Xun had started his cultivation, he had never been afraid of anyone!

Seeing Lin Xun speak in such a brutally frank manner, Ao Zhentian snapped, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can leave and come whenever you want? Stay here!”

Boom!

He stretched out his hand.

It was as if a dragon claw protruded from the sea of clouds and mist, blotting out the sky and the sun. This grabbing motion seemed capable of containing everything, the universe, sun and moon, into his hand.

Mister Miaoxuan was strong enough to stop all this, but he could not control his anger at this moment.

Ao Zhentian was at fault in the first place. He came to seek assistance from Lin Xun, but his attitude was haughty and overbearing. Moreover, he turned to violence at the slightest disagreement. He went too far!

“Then I’ll let you experience the power of cultivators from the Ancient Wasteland Domain!” Mister Miaoxuan thought to himself.

He did not intervene.

Before he knew it, just when the hand was about to crash down on Lin Xun’s figure, a dazzling golden tribulation symbol rushed out of nowhere and transformed into the shadow of a Bixi beast. Then, a midair collision boomed out.

The attack that Ao Zhentian had absolutely confidence in was reduced into a shower of sparks.
