Chapter 2239 Meeting Ao Zhentian Again

At the same time, Battle Emperor Hunxue also said, "Fellow Daoist, think back to when you first entered the world of the Dragon Palace, you might have inadvertently revealed something then which made the fourth prince suspicious."

Lin Xun thought about it and then told him all of the details.

"I understand."

Battle Emperor Hunxue soon pinpointed what went wrong, "It's not your fault, Fellow Daoist Lin. Unfortunately, you didn’t know that Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor has always looked down on the seventh prince, and the two have a bad relationship. Yet, you came with Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor's token to meet the seventh prince..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xun also figured it out and nodded, "I had neglected these details."

Battle Emperor Hunxue quickly transmitted a message, "Fellow Daoist, there is no time to lose. The fourth prince is still waiting outside right now. What do you think should be done next?"

Lin Xun thought for a moment and then looked at Battle Emperor Hunxue, "I have a way to prevent you from being implicated and to allow me to meet the seventh prince smoothly, but...it will require you to suffer some grievances."

Battle Emperor Hunxue was stunned as if he had thought of a possibility. His expression was uncertain for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter if I suffer a little, as long as I can help you, all the efforts will be worth it."

Lin Xun nodded and began to transmit the plan.

...

Outside the cave, Ao Xuanfeng frowned. Just when he felt a little impatient, he heard a rumble in the dark and deep cave and a forbidden power surged.

The terrifying aura made Ao Xuanfeng feel like he was suffocating, and his other followers were also shocked.

After a while, the forbidden power in the cave ebbed and it returned to its usual calmness.

At the same time, the voice of the Battle Emperor Hunxue sounded from the depths of the cave, "Young Master, the matter has been settled."

"It's done!"

The followers were all excited.

Ao Xuanfeng also laughed and took the lead to walk into the cave. Throughout this entire time, he did not have any doubts at all.

After all, this was the world of the Dragon Palace, the territory of their True Dragon Clan!

Furthermore, Ao Xuanfeng subconsciously did not think that an Emperor like Battle Emperor Hunxue, whose fate was controlled by his own clan, would have any traitorous ideas.

After entering the cave, he walked for a moment and saw that Battle Emperor Hunxue was waiting there. Beside him, an unconscious figure was lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"Battle Emperor Hunxue, wake up this bastard who clearly had evil intentions. I want to see why he came here!"

Ao Xuanfeng's eyes were full of coldness, but there was actually a bit of complacency and pride in his heart. He believed that he was quite observant and had seen through a brewing conspiracy!

"Fourth Prince, you disappoint me."

To his surprise, at this moment, Battle Emperor Hunxue waved his sleeves, and lights roared. His nearby followers were suppressed before they could react, and they collapsed on the ground one by one, without even the chance to scream.

Damnit!

The smug look on Ao Xuanfeng's face froze, and he fled with a flash as if it was almost instinctive.

Bang!

However, just as he turned to run, he was hit hard on the back of his head. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted. He collapsed to the ground, falling flat on his face.

"Battle Emperor Hunxue, how dare you betray the clan?!"

Ao Xuanfeng was furious and his face was ashen, but when he turned his head to look over, he found that the appearance of the Battle Emperor Hunxue had changed and turned into the appearance of Lin Xun.

Suddenly, he was stunned, his heart went cold, "You..."

"Oh the person you just mentioned is there, but he can no longer help you," stated Lin Xun casually as he pointed to the figure lying in the distance.

"Who are you?!" Ao Xuanfeng shouted loudly, his voice like thunder.

Lin Xun smiled and saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance, "This place has been covered by my power. Even if you shout your throat out, no one will notice the slightest abnormality."

Ao Xuanfeng was completely scared now. His hands and feet were ice cold, but he still couldn't believe it. How could anyone in this world dare to sneak into the territory of their True Dragon Clan?

Aren't you afraid of death?

Everyone knew that if they offended the True Dragon Lineage, their clan would be exterminated!

Lin Xun said, "I guess it must be difficult for you to accept all this now. Your seventh uncle also thought so at the beginning, and even thought that I dare not kill him..."

Ao Xuanfeng's expression dramatically shifted as he exclaimed, "You killed Seventh Uncle!?"

Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor was already at the No-Law, Against Heavens realm. In the True Dragon Clan, he was considered a top-level existence!

At this moment, Ao Xuanfeng's mind showed some signs of collapsing.

How could this be possible? How could this be possible?

For Ao Xuanfeng, a scion who had grown up under the wings of the True Dragon Clan, the sky of the True Dragon World was the sky of their clan, the earth was the earth of their clan, and all the creatures of the races between the heaven and earth were their slaves and subjects.

For countless years, this situation had never changed.

Therefore, Ao Xuanfeng had no way of imagining that anyone in this world would dare to commit crimes against them in their own world!

Furthermore, as soon as Ao Xuanfeng's mind became turbulent, Lin Xun's consciousness, which had been waiting for a long time, quietly flowed into his body.

He was going to search the dragon’s soul!

However, what surprised Lin Xun was that there was a layer of mysterious dragon restriction power that was covering Ao Xuanfeng's soul.

Of course, this kind of defensive power could not block Lin Xun's consciousness at all, but if he forced the search there would most likely be only one consequence.

Ao Xuanfeng's soul would explode into smithereens immediately!

In the end, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Xun held back and waved his hand to knock Ao Xuanfeng unconscious. Then he threw everyone present into the Dao Endless Pagoda, including the suppressed followers.

After doing all this, Lin Xun glanced at the Battle Emperor Hunxue, who was lying on the ground in the distance, and said through voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist, thank you very much."

After that, he turned and left.

Earlier, Battle Emperor Hunxue was willing to be quite ruthless as he allowed Lin Xun to directly hit him seriously and knock him unconscious.

According to Battle Emperor Hunxue, only by doing this would the True Dragon Clan not suspect that he was having traitorous thoughts.

Lin Xun walked out of the cave and walked to Heavenly Forbidden Mountain according to the instructions Battle Emperor Hunxue had given to him earlier.

Along the way, Lin Xun also noticed that there were many "criminals" imprisoned here. They were not only from the True Dragon Clan, but also many creatures from other tribes. All of these people had been tormented miserably and they were on the road to death.

Lin Xun even saw that a fourth realm Emperor expert of the Azure Eyed Flying Luan Clan had been imprisoned for who knew how many years. By now its body was rotting in many different areas that emitted a foul smell, and it was clearly on its last breaths, which was shocking.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea.

In the depths of Heavenly Forbidden Mountain, on a cliff halfway up the mountain, stood an ancient stone house. An invisible forbidden array completely covered the cliff and the stone house.

From a distance, Lin Xun saw a figure sitting cross-legged in front of the stone house alone, cultivating, with a surging true dragon qi steaming all over him.

He had a strong and slender body, handsome and tough features, and a tenacious look on his countenance.

It was Ao Zhentian!

However, compared to back when they first met in the Ancient Wasteland Domain decades ago, Ao Zhentian no longer had his previous proud, domineering, and unrestrained temperament. Instead, it had been replaced by a kind of calmness and tenacity.

Lin Xun looked around and sensed the surroundings for a moment. Not fully convinced that the area was safe, he then waved his sleeves and a series of flags flew out, turning into a magical forbidden array that instantly covered the cliff.

At the same time, Lin Xun took out a golden formation plate, which he had obtained from Battle Emperor Hunxue, that was specially used to open the various forbidden arrays that covered Heavenly Forbidden Mountain.

Buzz~

A wave of forbidden power roiled, and Lin Xun successfully walked onto the cliff.

"Huh?"

Ao Zhentian, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw Lin Xun, he was stunned and almost thought he was dreaming.

"Brother Lin...?" Ao Zhentian stood up, "This is the forbidden land of my clan, so how are you here?"

"I came to find Jingxuan," Lin Xun said simply.

Ao Zhentian's expression suddenly became complicated, and he sighed, "I knew that as long as I couldn't send my cousin back to the Ancient Wasteland Domain, you would come to find me sooner or later."

He took out a pot of wine, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, do you want to have a drink?"

Lin Xun shook his head and said, "I have taken great risks to arrive here. Do you think I still have the heart to drink?"

Ao Zhentian silently put away the wine pot and said in a low and sincere voice, "Brother Lin, you shouldn't have come. If you still trust me like you did back then, then I hope you will leave, go as far as you can, and never step into this world again in this life."

Lin Xun frowned and said, "Let me just ask you, where is Jingxuan now?"

Ao Zhentian shook his head, "After the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly ended, I was confined here. I haven't had the opportunity to go out for decades. How could I possibly know where my cousin Jingxuan is now?"

Lin Xun was filled with inexplicable anger. He rushed forward and grabbed Ao Zhentian's collar. "Back then, you promised me that you would guarantee Jingxuan's safety, so I agreed to let her come with you. But now you tell me... You don't even know where she is?!"

His deep eyes were full of a rage that seemed on the brink of igniting.

Ao Zhentian looked bleak as he lowered his head, clearly daring not to look directly at Lin Xun's eyes. He said bitterly, "I didn't expect that such an event would happen at the Thousand Celestial Dragon Assembly..."

He took a deep breath and said, "Brother Lin, although I don't know where cousin Jingxuan is now, I dare to guarantee you with my life that cousin Jingxuan will never be in any danger!"

Bang!

Lin Xun threw him to the ground, his eyes frosty, "If you still consider me your friend, then tell me what happened at the Thousand Celestial Dragon Assembly! Why have all of you, the True Dragons, wished me dead since then?"

Ao Zhentian's expression was uncertain, his chest rising and falling, as if he was suffering from an incomparable torment and inner struggle.

After a long time, he lowered his head and said bitterly, "I can't tell you about this, Brother Lin, I beg you, while those big shots of my clan haven't found you yet, leave now, okay? I, Ao Zhentian, will definitely give you an explanation for this matter in the future!"

There was even a hint of pleading in his voice.

However, the more he acted this way, the more uneasy Lin Xun became..

He suppressed his anger, looked at Ao Zhentian who was sitting on the ground with his head down. Disappointment appeared in his eyes as he said, "My hopes in finding answers from you were apparently in vain. Never mind, I will solve this matter myself!"
