Chapter 1671: Wu Hengtian

Half a year had passed since the Conflict of the Nine Domains ended.

In the past six months, innumerable waves had been set off in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and countless people had been stirred by Lin Xun’s remarkable feats on the Nine Domains Battlefield.

He was Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield!

This title was as dazzling as the sun in the sky. Now, who among the cultivators of the Ancient Wasteland Domain had not heard of Lin Xun’s name?

All the heroes in the world were from our generation, and he was the best of our generation!

He, of course, was Lin Xun.

Whether it was the sects and clans who feuded with Lin Xun or the major forces who were afraid of him, everyone in the Ancient Wasteland Domain knew that Lin Xun had become an influential figure, achieved great success, so no one could stop him anymore!

However, this did not mean that the clans and sects who were enemies with Lin Xun would bow their heads.

After all, they were ancient forces with a long history. How would they be afraid of a supreme Saint?

However, if they were not stupid then they would not dare to take action against Lin Xun again.

Lin Xun alone might not be enough to instill fear in them, but behind him were the shadows of many powerful forces!

For example, the Moon Sun Sacred Palace, Origin God Sect, Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms and the Crape Myrtle Mountain Ye Clan.

This was because Lin Xun had become friends with a number of supreme Saints of the younger generation after he defended the entire Ancient Wasteland Camp with his life.

And almost all of those younger generation supreme Saints were backed by a major force!

If Lin Xun ran into trouble, how would his peers who had fought alongside him on the Nine Domains Battlefield stand and watch him suffer?

This was what the various clans and sects in the Ancient Wasteland Domain were most afraid of!

Some major forces that were enemies with Lin Xun were even worried that he would come to retaliate.

This was the prominence of influential power!

It was the power and might that Lin Xun had forged after years of fighting!

……

However, to the surprise of everyone in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, during the six months after the end of the Nine Domains Battlefield, Lin Xun, a glorious resplendent and dazzling figure like no other in the world, seemed to have vanished into thin air. No one heard anything about him anymore.

Some said he went into closed-door cultivation.

Some said he left the Ancient Wasteland Domain and returned to the lower domain world. After all, such a situation had also happened in the past.

Some even said that he was aware that he had superior talent and feared that he would spark jealousy from the heavens, so he chose to live a low-profile life and conceal his identity.

This, of course, seemed absurd.

However, there were also rumors that Lin Xun had gone to the Great Emperor Pass via the Divine Apparatus Pavilion and he turned the place upside down there.

It was a pity that this news, which was closest to the truth, was considered to be the most absurd of them all to the people of the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

The reason was very simple. Who in the world did not know that the Great Emperor Pass was a land of quasi-Emperor old monsters?

Even a Saint-King would play a supporting role there, let alone a supreme True Saint. How could Lin Xun ‘turn the world upside down’ there?

Sometimes, it was too complicated to distinguish between the truth and rumors.

After half a year, the discussion about Lin Xun gradually calmed down.

During this period, the powerful forces who were constantly on edge and worrying about Lin Xun’s return also gradually forgot about this matter.

It was under such circumstances that Lin Xun and his party set off on their trip to Sunset Current Valley!

……

Sunset Current Valley.

This was the territory occupied by the Golden Crow Clan, which was also regarded as one of the renowned Hidden Holy Lands in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Above a grand building that was made of golden stones, a small golden crow spread its wings and flew upwards, streaks of flames raining from its wings. It looked extraordinary.

In the building, Wu Hengtian was sitting alone on the main seat in a daze, his brows lowered in a frown.

He was dressed in a golden robe and had a gray beard and gray hair framing his haggard face. He was the current patriarch of the Golden Crow Clan, a terrifying figure who had once dominated and shook the world for thousands of years.

However, in recent years, he rarely paid attention to affairs of the clan.

“Little Seven, Little Thirteen...I will avenge you…” he murmured, eyes clouding with sorrow.

The old servant beside him couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

Many years ago in the Supreme Realm, the seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan, Wu Lingdao, and the thirteenth prince, Wu Lingfei, were both killed by Lin Xun. It was unknown how many experts of the Golden Crow Clan also died at the hands of Lin Xun.

The pain of losing two sons was too much for the patriarch to bear every time he thought about them.

The old servant knew very well how much the patriarch wanted to kill Lin Xun, but he had never found the right opportunity!

Especially in the past six months. Lin Xun had risen to become the Number One of the Nine Domains Battlefield and inspired awe throughout the Ancient Wasteland Domain. This was akin to a heavy blow dealt at the Golden Crow Clan. Regardless of how much they hated Lin Xun to the bone, they would not dare to make any rash actions!

This was the reason for Wu Hengtian’s foul mood in the past six months. He was often found sitting alone and spacing out, falling into a state of hatred mixed with sorrow.

His sons had been killed, but he was unable to avenge them. This was simply the cruelest torture to him!

“When the Supreme Realm ended, Oracle Elder Wu Liuchi immediately took action, but that kid killed him with just an arrow…

“On the outskirts of Snow Mulberry City, Saints worked together to encircle that kid. Heavenly Oracle Wu Xiutong also took part in that operation. But in the end, that kid single-handedly defeated all the Saints, causing mournful cries to ring from the sky. The vast Snow Mulberry City was also stained red with blood…

“Now, that kid has become a supreme True Saint, and his name resounds throughout the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He is at the peak of power. Which ancient orthodoxy would dare to deal with him?”

Wu Hengtian sat there in a daze, face overcast. “And as their father, when can I avenge Little Seven and Little Thirteen?”

The old servant consoled him, “Patriarch, I’m sorry for your loss.”

Wu Hengtian took a deep breath and stood up, his eyes becoming clear and his aura imposing. Not a trace of sadness remained in his expression.

At this moment, he fully exuded the majesty of the patriarch of a formidable clan.

The old servant suddenly said aloud, “Patriarch, news came out a while ago that Lin Xun appeared at the Great Emperor Pass and killed Gu Liangqu, the number one expert in the Great Emperor Pass.”

Wu Hengtian was taken aback for a moment, before he howled with laughter. “If that boy is so capable, wouldn’t the entire Ancient Wasteland Domain revere him? I wonder who spread this ridiculous rumor, it’s so absurd!”

He walked out of the hall in large strides.

A sacred tree towered into the sky, its branches thick and strong, and its entire body emitted a golden flame-like glow, as if it was burning, illuminating the vast Sunset Current Valley.

The Sacred Fusang Tree!

It was a sacred tree that had been well-known since the primeval era. Born from the source of the Samadhi True Fire, its trunk and branches reached into the sky and its leaves glowed like they were aflame.

Legend had it that the Sacred Fusang Tree was where the sun sets.

The Sacred Fusang Tree was a precious treasure of the Golden Crow Clan. The core profound secret of the art of the Great Sun True Flames, which was practiced by descendants of the Golden Crow Clan, originated from the dao runes on the Sacred Fusang Tree.

The branches, leaves, and roots of the Sacred Fusang Tree were also exceptionally precious materials in the world and had great benefits on the cultivation of Golden Crow Clan experts.

Additionally, the Samadhi True Fire could be extracted from the Sacred Fusang Tree, which was one of the most domineering divine flames in the world!

Since eternity, the Sacred Fusang Tree had been a forbidden area of the Golden Crow Clan.

Very few people knew that under the tree was a prison sealed by countless Saint dao powers.

Very few people knew that an extremely ferocious being was imprisoned in the prison.

Despite being subjected to all kinds of torture and attacks from countless sages of the Golden Crow Clan...it was still alive to this day!

The prison was frighteningly dark and silent.

Wu Hengtian had come. Wearing an ice-cold expression on his face, he glanced down at the bottom of the Sacred Fusang Tree.

“Evil creature, are you waiting for that little bastard to come and save you? Unfortunately, he does not have the guts to come. I have waited for half a year and have seen no signs of that little bastard.”

His voice echoed in the tightly sealed dark prison.

Boom!

Suddenly, monstrous qi surged in the deathly silent prison, like a demon that had been in deep slumber for eternity was awakening.

The towering Sacred Fusang Tree shook violently, golden light flashed, and divine flames flared around it.

Vaguely, in the dark prison seemed to be a figure sitting up, opening its hate-filled eyes.

But soon, it burst into laughter, “As long as the kid is alive, he will definitely come!”

Wu Hengtian’s expression turned icy.

Golden whips transformed from law power lashed through the air with cracking sounds. The figure’s skin was split open and its flesh was torn.

But it still laughed to itself, voice full of disdain and joy. “Old bastard, once I get out of here, I will get payback for all the years of blood and hatred! When that happens, this Sunset Current Valley will be obliterated from the Ancient Wasteland Domain!”

PA! PA! PA!

Every slash of the whip that was transformed from law power would bring excruciating pain and torment to even Saint experts, as if they were hovering between life and death.

But that figure laughed madly to itself. “No matter how many times you hit me, I will remember it in my heart. After I get rid of you little trash, I will go to the Ancient Nebula Road to find the old bastard Demon Crow to settle the score!”

The Demon Crow Great Emperor was the most remarkable and dazzling predecessor of the Golden Crow Clan. He was regarded as the greatest pride in the history of the Golden Crow Lineage.

However, the Demon Crow Great Emperor was an enemy that the figure would never forget until death!

Wu Hengtian’s expression grew colder and colder, and his face turned slightly livid.

He came to vent his emotions, but the words of that figure only deepened his hatred and anger.

However, just when Wu Hengtian wanted to continue to whip the figure, an old servant urgently teleported over.

“Patriarch, the kid Lin Xun has appeared!”

That one sentence made a terrifying cold light flash from Wu Hengtian’s eyes. He breathed quickly, “Where is he?”

The bastard who killed Little Seven and Little Thirteen had finally shown up after half a year! He almost lost control of the long-suppressed hatred in his heart.

“Just outside our Sunset Current Valley,” the old servant swiftly answered.

“Huh?”

Wu Hengtian was dumbstruck. His expression changed as he realized something was wrong. “Could the little bastard be here for...”

“Hahaha, he’s here, he’s finally here. I knew this day won’t be far away, but I didn’t expect it to be today. He really came!”

In the dark prison, the figure’s maniacal laughter echoed.

Unrestrained just like it had been through the ages!
