Chapter 2354 The Turbulent Sea, The People Have Forgotten

The sea breeze whistled, bringing with it a rolling stream of aeth qi.

Compared to when Lin Xun was in the lower realm in the past, the aeth qi concentration now was more than a hundred times or even a thousand times more dense.

It was completely comparable to a big world on the Ancient Nebula Road!

While Lin Xun was traveling, an idea came to his mind. The aeth qi concentration was still increasing. Maybe he could still break through in this lower world in the future?

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xun shook his head at that thought.

Ever since he had entered the All Dao Realm, which was supposed to be the territory of the Ziyao Empire, he had to suppress his cultivation and maintain it at the first realm Emperor Stage.

Who knew how long he would have to wait until the world revived to the point where he could break through to the fifth realm.

Suddenly, he heard sounds of a fierce battle in the distance.

Lin Xun subconsciously scanned his spirit sense over and saw a beautiful girl in a fiery red dress being besieged and falling into a precarious situation.

She was a seventh realm Longevity King, and her opponents were three strong experts at the ninth realm Longevity King Stage.[1] No matter who they were, they would definitely suppress her.

Lin Xun noticed that the reason why the girl in red clothes could persist until now without being defeated was that she possessed a very powerful and ancient sacred treasure.

It was a flexible whip that was as red as fire, covered with a mysterious and wonderful holy law power. Every time the whip struck, it resembled a fire dragon dancing crazily, wanton and violent.

In the nearby sea area, there were many cultivators watching the battle, but none of them attempted to intervene. They gazed at the three people who were encircling the girl in red clothes with deep fear.

Obviously, the three people had deep backgrounds.

Lin Xun noticed that the three men and two women he had come across earlier in the Spirit Burial Sea were also watching the battle.

Immediately, he planned to withdraw his consciousness and continue on his way.

This level of a fight did not interest him at all, and he had no intention of getting involved. Although the red-dressed girl was in a precarious situation, she would not be defeated that easily.

However, just as he was about to withdraw his consciousness, the red-dressed girl suddenly shouted in a clear voice, "If you want to act against the Ye Clan of the East Sea, then do so openly. You are using such dirty tricks in order to force my grandfather to bow his head! Aren't you ashamed?"

Her pretty face was frosty, and her beautiful eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire.

The Ye Clan of the East Sea!

Lin Xun was stunned. Wasn’t that the clan where Ye Xiaoqi came from?

"You are from Heaven Axis Holy Land, which is a famous sect in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, yet you have come to bully a junior like me. So shameless. Just wait, today I, Ye Lingshuang, will never let you succeed even if I die!"

The red-dressed girl who called herself Ye Lingshuang seemed a little flustered and at wits end. She had clearly realized that the situation was unfavorable to her.

Heaven Axis Holy Land!

When he heard this name, a cold light flashed in Lin Xun's black eyes.

Thinking back to the past, when he had first entered the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he had a feud with the members of Heaven Axis Holy Land. Back then, in order to kill him, the big forces of the Ancient Wasteland Domain had made countless moves.

"Interesting, people from Heaven Axis Holy Land have also come to the lower world. It seems that the changes in the lower world have also attracted the greed of those major forces in the Ancient Wasteland Domain..."

While Lin Xun was thinking, he had already headed over.

"Huh? It's that guy."

At the same time, the three men and two women who had met him once before all noticed Lin Xun and were startled.

The cold and arrogant woman couldn't help but sneer when she saw Lin Xun walking straight towards the battlefield, "He doesn't even know the name of the All Dao Realm, yet he's planning to play the hero saving the beauty. This kid...is really ignorant and fearless."

The handsome green-haired man in the lead raised his eyebrows and said, "We had a chance meeting after all, so it's better for us to warn him."

As he said that, he said to Lin Xun, "Friend, this is a feud between Heaven Axis Holy Land and the Ye Clan of the East Sea. It’s best that you don’t get involved."

Lin Xun waved his hand, "Thank you for the reminder."

However, he continued to go forward. Seeing this, the arrogant woman sneered, "Senior Brother Wei, did you see that? He doesn’t appreciate your kindness at all."

Annoyance also flashed in the handsome green-haired man’s eyes, and then he sighed lightly, "Anyway, we have done our duty to him. Since he insists on getting involved, the consequences should be borne by him alone."

He and all of his companions were proud and arrogant to their bones.

After all, the weakest among them had the Saint Stage cultivation, and the handsome man with green hair was even at the Quasi-Emperor Stage. Almost everyone present here were small fries to them.

At the same time, the cultivators watching the battle nearby saw Lin Xun traveling towards the battlefield, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Who is this guy? Is he going to get involved in the affairs of Heaven Axis Holy Land?"

"He looks unfamiliar. I haven't seen him before. He shouldn't be a powerful expert."

"He is simply courting death. Everyone knows that since the experts of Heaven Axis Holy Land arrived ten years ago, they have been plotting to occupy the territory of the East Sea. In the past ten years, all the big and small forces have already chosen to surrender, but the Ye Clan of the East Sea is still holding on!"

"Holding on? I think it won't be long before they are destroyed."

There was a lot of discussion in the field.

The red-dressed girl, Ye Lingshuang, and the three experts from Heaven Axis Holy Land had also noticed Lin Xun’s appearance.

Ye Lingshuang was happy at first, but when she noticed that Lin Xun was a strange young man and was all alone, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

The three Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples all frowned and revealed cold looks.

"Friend, I advise you to leave now and don't interfere in this matter, otherwise you will be annihilated!" shouted a man with wild-looking hair and ice cold eyes that flashed like lightning.

He was not hiding his aggression at all. The aura that was released from him elicited many exclamations nearby.

The handsome man with green hair and the others among his group smiled and shook their heads. This bit of power could only bully ordinary cultivators.

However, Lin Xun seemed to be unaware of this. His eyes were locked on Ye Lingshuang as he asked, "Who is Ye Xiaoqi to you?"

Ye Lingshuang's eyes flickered with surprise, and she subconsciously said, "That's my grandfather's name."

Grandfather?

Lin Xun was stunned, and it was like a storm had suddenly appeared in his heart.

How many years has it been, and now that fat boy Ye Xiaoqi has a granddaughter?

This was completely unexpected!

"Begging for death!"

Seeing that Lin Xun was ignoring him, pure rage erupted in the man who had threatened him earlier. He swung the war spear in his hand and rushed towards Lin Xun.

Boom!

The void was covered with violent ripples, and the war spear emitted a dazzling sharp light and shadow, breaking through the air and stabbing with a strong force. This kind of attack made Ye Lingshuang’s expression change immediately and she blurted out, "Young Master, dodge quickly!"

"This kid is finished," remarked the cold and arrogant woman with a bit of pity.

The handsome man with green hair sighed. He had already warned him, yet this guy still charged forward. Who could he blame for his misfortune?

At this time, Lin Xun's lips curled up slightly.

After so many years, a small character at the King Stage had dared to attack him. If this spread to the Ancient Nebula Road, it was likely that no one would believe it.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, he didn't attempt to dodge.

Instead, the spear stopped three feet in front of him and could not move forward any further.

The wild-haired man’s eyes widened out of shock and he suddenly exerted more force, but no matter how he struggled, the spear in his hand was frozen there, motionless.

He was shocked and cried out inwardly that something was off.

At this moment, Lin Xun looked at him and said calmly, "The members of Heaven Axis Holy Land are still as brainless as before."

Bang!

The spear exploded and turned into a shower of light.

Then, the man with wild-looking hair turned into ashes silently and scattered into the air, as if he had been burnt to a crisp.

The whole audience was silent and dumbfounded.

Some people rubbed their eyes, as if they couldn't believe it was true.

"Hmm?"

The handsome green-haired man and others all felt their pupils constrict as their hearts were shaken, and they were also shocked by this strange scene. Even at their cultivation level, they couldn't even spot how Lin Xun had made his move.

The other two Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples who had originally been besieging Ye Lingshuang trembled all over at this moment, and their expressions changed drastically.

"This..." Ye Lingshuang was also stunned, and her beautiful eyes widened.

That ordinary-looking guy, could he be a hidden master?

"Girl, being distracted during the middle of a battle is a taboo." Lin Xun couldn't help laughing.

"Who are you? How dare you kill someone from Heaven Axis Holy Land?!"

At the same time, the two remaining Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples stopped what they were doing and gazed at Lin Xun sullenly. It gave off a sense that they were putting on a strong front while actually shaking inside.

Yes, who is this young man?

Countless people at the scene also looked at Lin Xun with surprise and suspicion.

"You don't even remember me?"

Lin Xun's expression was a bit strange.

In the past, he had slaughtered many disciples of many dao sects in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, such as Heaven Axis Holy Land, Spirit Treasure Holy Land, Omega Sword Sect, Mysterious Metropolis Sect, etc. This had caused heavy losses to their respective powers, so they all hated Lin Xun to the core.

Despite that, these two members of Heaven Axis Holy Land couldn’t recognize him as their "enemy" now...

Obviously, with the passage of time, the world had changed. The past grievances and blood feuds were probably only in the memories of those old people.

"Go!"

At this time, the two people from Heaven Axis Holy Land looked at each other and turned around to flee without any hesitation. Obviously, they had noticed that Lin Xun was beyond their abilities and did not dare to stay.

"Can you still leave though?" Lin Xun snapped out of his journey through his memories and snapped his fingers.

Bang! Bang!

Far away above the sea, the two experts from Heaven Axis Holy Land died suddenly, and their bodies turned into ashes in an instant. Not to mention blood, not even a speck of bone was left.

They had been completely reduced to nothing.

Hiss~

There was a sound of people sucking in cold air in the field, and everyone was utterly shocked.

Those three people who had been at the ninth realm of the King Stage may not have been powerful enough to dominate the world today, but they were still considered elite cultivators of the world.

Furthermore, those three people were all members of Heaven Axis Holy Land.

Despite that, in the blink of an eye, they were wiped out!

Who is that strange young man? How does he dare not take Heaven Axis Holy Land seriously?

Ye Lingshuang had also fallen into a trance at this moment. Her eyes were blank as she stared off into space. What had happened was just like a dream. The three enemies who had put her in a desperate situation had been wiped out in a blink of an eye?

And the person had done it as if it was easier than killing an ant?!

"Girl, take me to see your grandfather."

Lin Xun's voice rang out, waking Ye Lingshuang up. She nodded subconsciously, and then she realized that something was wrong.

She took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to ask, "Senior, could you...tell me your name? And tell me why you want to meet with my grandfather?"

Lin Xun smiled. This girl was clearly a smart and cautious one.
