Chapter 2311 Camping for the Rabbit

Although Big Yellow was anxious, all it could do was wait.

After all, there was nothing else he could do. Without Little Five controlling the Heaven Slaughtering Dao Severing array, it would be almost impossible to conquer a powerful old faction like the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

Suddenly, spatial fluctuations soundlessly rippled as Lin Xun appeared out of thin air.

Big Yellow immediately asked, "Has it been resolved?"

Lin Xun nodded and briefly recounted the events that had transpired on Blood Dome Mountain.

Big Yellow sighed, "Yu Kunzi was an amazing individual. Master once said that his future achievements would be limitless if he managed to reach the Emperor Ancestor Stage. I never expected that he would end up being killed by you."

Lin Xun offhandedly asked, "Are you feeling regretful for him?"

He scanned the surroundings and his gaze ultimately paused on the Heaven Illumination Peak in the distance. He could tell that it was likely the mountain entrance to the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

Big Yellow grumbled, "How is that possible? Can’t you tell that I’m gloating?"

Lin Xun looked at Little Five and asked, "How long will it take for you to recover?"

Little Five, who was panting heavily due to exhaustion, immediately became extremely docile before Lin Xun and answered, "Six hours."

Lin Xun thought for a moment and nodded. His eyes seemed to become impossibly deep as he said, "Even if we fail to eradicate the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, we will make them pay an unbearable price!"

Big Yellow's emotions surged and it murderously said, "Yes, that's exactly how it should be."

......

As time passed, night soon fell.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Suddenly, anxious and shrill voices sounded from afar. A group of figures were hurrying towards Heaven Illumination Peak.

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect disciples stationed in the vicinity were immediately alerted and emerged one after another. They swiftly identified the approaching group as experts the sect had dispatched to the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

At this moment, however, every one of these experts, regardless of cultivation level, looked panicked and worried.

After a brief correspondence, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect disciples revealed horrified expressions and hurriedly went to pass on the news.

"Emperor Daoyuan went to the appointment alone and Sect Master Yu Kunzi died atop Blood Dome Mountain!"

"All seven Emperor elders who accompanied them were killed!"

The bad news was like a bolt from the blue. It soon reached the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and caused quite a stir.

"What’s the situation?"

"Spit it out!"

𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Quick, inform the Supreme Elder!"

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect was in chaos. Everyone was in a panic as they looked at each other in terror, deeply shaken by the bad news, resembling lost lambs without their shepherd.

It wasn’t until Supreme Elder Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong emerged from seclusion that the chaotic atmosphere began to calm down.

That night.

Holy Illumination Ancient Hall.

Supreme Elder Yuzhong summoned the bigwigs of the sect to discuss what they would do after Yu Kunzi’s death.

"Lin Daoyuan must have some kind of secret treasure that is strong enough to resist law power. That’s why he doesn’t fear Blood Dome Mountain’s restriction power."

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong had the appearance of a handsome young man. Dressed in a black robe, he sat on the central throne with cold and indifferent eyes as his voice boomed across the hall.

"Also, the woman accompanying him likely has the power to kill Emperor Ancestors. That will explain why Yu Kunzi and the others, as well as Emperor Ancestor Kusheng of the Earth Treasury Realm died."

The atmosphere in the hall was so stifling that even breathing felt difficult.

The bigwigs wore gloomy and ugly expressions. After all, the death of their sect leader was a terrible blow to the sect.

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong asked in a deep voice, "What does everyone think we should do?"

"Get revenge, of course!"

"Yes, Lin Daoyuan must be killed!"

"If this grudge isn’t settled, wouldn’t Yu Kunzi and the others have died in vain? How will the Ancient Nebula World view us then?"

The old monsters spoke out at once, their murderous voices brimming with unconcealed hatred.

For countless years, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect had stood tall in the Ancient Nebula Underworld. When had they ever suffered such a great loss?

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong's eyes hardened and he said, "Lin Daoyuan and that woman are moving together. What kind of force must we dispatch to kill them?"

Everyone fell silent as they looked at each other with uncertain expressions.

By this juncture, they had no choice but to admit that Lin Daoyuan possessed the power to threaten the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect!

It was a difficult pill to swallow.

After all, they had once viewed Lin Xun as a small fry.

Now, he was

the

Emperor Daoyuan who was famous throughout the Ancient Nebula Road! He was a peerless legend for becoming the first supreme Emperor in nearly a hundred thousand years!

"You all must have realized that unless I personally lead a team of at least two more Emperor Ancestors, there will be no chance to kill Lin Daoyuan and that woman."

With a frosty expression, Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong continued in a deep voice, "But have you all ever considered that if the duo tries to flee, is there anyone in this world who can stop them?"

Everyone's expressions changed indeterminately, and not a single person was able to muster a reply. The atmosphere turned even more stifling, causing a few individuals to begin to feel breathless.

"What's more, those old guys from Copper Sparrow House and the number one general under the Copper Sparrow House lord, Roaring Battle Emperor, have yet to make their move..."

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong sighed deeply.

The severity of the matter made even someone like him find it problematic.

A voice suddenly broke the silence, "Supreme Elder, such a horrible disaster has befallen our sect where even our sect master was killed by the enemy. Are we going to just idly stand by and do nothing?"

"Of course not!" Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong spoke out with absolute certainty as his eyes flashed terrifyingly, "Since Lin Daoyuan did this for Copper Sparrow House, we’ll start our revenge with them."

Everyone was initially stunned but they quickly understood.

At present, no one knew Lin Daoyuan’s whereabouts and trying to find him would be no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

So how would they force him to show himself?

It was simple: target Copper Sparrow House!

"Once we force him out into the open, we will set an inescapable net to cut off his retreat. When that time comes, I and the other Emperor Ancestors of our sect will end him together."

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong's eyes glowed with chilling cruelty. "However, our Holy Illumination Ancient Sect shall not act alone in this matter. Because, we will also join forces with Earth Treasury Realm!"

Someone excitedly said, "Since Emperor Ancestor Kusheng and his group also perished on Blood Dome Mountain, how can Earth Treasury Realm remain indifferent?"

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong immediately ordered, "Chiheng, Feiling."

Two Emperors stepped forward. They were seventh realm Emperor, Battle Emperor Chiheng, and fifth realm Emperor, Battle Emperor Feiling.

"Go to the territories under our Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and spread the command to use everything possible to destroy the forces of Copper Sparrow House. In addition, spread the word that if Lin Daoyuan doesn’t come to the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect to apologize within ten days, Copper Sparrow House will be exterminated!"

"Understood!" The two Emperors received the order.

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong turned to another two individuals and said, "Qingqu, Zhengbo, the two of you will go to Earth Treasury Realm and convey my will. Tell them to send Emperor Ancestor level experts to the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect within ten days so we can suppress and kill Lin Daoyuan together."

"Understood!"

"Everyone else, stay here, wait for updates, and be ready to move out at any moment. Any negligence will be severely punished!"

"Understood!" The crowd responded with a roar that swept away the oppressive atmosphere in the hall. Everyone seemed reinvigorated as if they had found a pillar of support.

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong inwardly sighed at the sight. If a battle did happen, it would be very difficult to kill Lin Daoyuan and that woman!

Circumstances created heroes. At present, Lin Daoyuan was the most attention-grabbing individual in the world. The weight of being a supreme Emperor alone was enough to make any ancient orthodoxy fear him!

However, Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong couldn’t speak these words out loud because it would only help the enemy while destroying their own morale.

"Get to work."

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong waved his hand.

He had already begun to calculate how huge of a price they would have to pay to resolve this huge problem.

......

The night was as dark as ink.

Little Five had recovered and was in high spirits. He looked at Lin Xun and asked, "When do we start?"

Lin Xun playfully flicked his forehead and said, "Next time, you’d better remember to address me as Big Brother!"

"Big Brother?" Little Five was taken aback. Unexpectedly, he didn’t show any resistance and instead revealed a dazzling smile, "Lin Xun, are you really...willing to let me acknowledge you as my big brother?"

Lin Xun answered without hesitation, "Of course, is there a problem?"

"No!" Little Five hastily shook his head as his smile grew even brighter.

Big Yellow coldly snorted, "You've lived for god knows how many years and now you want to acknowledge someone as your big brother. Don’t you have any self respect?"

Little Five rolled his eyes. "What do you understand? This is between me and Big Brother."

Little Five was an array spirit. When he was first subdued, he felt a strong sense of resistance against Lin Xun. In fact, his biggest worry was that he would be forced to acknowledge Lin Xun as his master.

Hence, he never imagined that Lin Xun would treat him as a brother. This went completely beyond his expectations, and it would be a lie to say that he wasn’t genuinely touched by it.

It was also at this moment that Little Five's worries and resistance were completely swept away. He no longer objected to following Lin Xun.

"Big Brother, when do we start?"

Little Five raised his little face as he rubbed his hands together. He had decided to use this opportunity to show off his abilities.

"Wait a little longer, it’s still not time to activate the array."

Lin Xun’s eyes grew unreadable as he cast his gaze at Heaven Illumination Peak, fully aware of those who had just gone to report to the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

According to his calculations, those old guys in the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect wouldn't be able to sit still once they learned of Yu Kunzi's death!

"How much longer?"

While Little Five wasn’t anxious, Big Yellow clearly was.

Just as Lin Xun was about to answer, he suddenly sensed something and a slight smile emerged on his lips, "In a battle like this, you shouldn’t reveal all your cards at the start but should take things step by step. Big Yellow, a few fishes have begun to surface."

As he spoke, he silently rose into the air.

Big Yellow was stunned for a moment before its eyes lit up and it grinned, showing a mouthful of sinister white teeth. "Damnit, I would have hit my limit if they took any longer. Let me make this clear, all of these prey are mine and you’re forbidden from taking a single one!"
