Chapter 2382 Ten Emperors Come to Seek an Audience

Three months, to Lin Xun, was as quick as a snap of the fingers.

However, in the Forbidden City, too many things had happened during this.

Furthermore, they were all related to the establishment of New Genesis Sect.

Far too many people had come from all over the world to join it, causing the city to be bustling like never before during this period of time.

At the same time, Lin Zhong, Zhao Tailai, and the other sect elders were also under a great deal of pressure.

New Genesis Sect had only been founded recently, so the rules and regulations were still in the middle of being perfected. Even though it had been announced that the sect wasn’t going to recruit disciples anytime soon, there was still an endless stream of visitors.

As if to demonstrate their perseverance and determination, those who sought to become disciples refused to leave despite being blocked outside the gate. Night and day, they remained in the vicinity of Mind Cleansing Peak. It was clear that they weren’t going to give up easily.

Therefore, after merely three months, the neighborhood of Mind Cleansing Peak had become overcrowded!

This even led to the prices of nearby housing and land skyrocketing dozens of times!

In the end, after a discussion, the senior members of the sect decided that an examination ceremony to take in disciples would be held a year later.

At that time, regardless of their backgrounds and statuses, the first one hundred people who passed the examination would be the first batch of outer disciples of New Genesis Sect.

Even though this was only for outer disciples, and there were only one hundred slots, the news kicked off a sensation as soon as it was out.

Countless people rubbed their hands together in anticipation, and started cultivating diligently and furiously in preparation.

Various major clans held nothing back as they smashed down huge amounts of resources to train their children so that the latter could pass the examination.

The people who were persistently staying outside Mind Cleansing Peak also finally dispersed.

The matter of accepting disciples was finally effectively resolved, but before Lin Zhong ‘s group could breathe a sigh of relief, another news came in.

“The Monster-Beast Battle Alliance is sending ten Great Emperors to the Forbidden City to pay Emperor Lord Lin a visit!”

Like a stone thrown into still water, it stirred up a thousand waves and drew the world’s attention.

“It’s obvious that they aren’t coming with good intentions. The Monster-Beast Battle Alliance of Spirit Burial Sea has been salivating over the fortunes and opportunities in the Forbidden City for a long time now. They are bound to cause trouble!” one person analyzed.

“Indeed. If it's only a visit, why would they need to send ten Emperor experts? They’re clearly trying to test Emperor Lord Lin's depths with this grand formation. It’s a plot against him!” many agreed, having realized that a storm would sweep in from Spirit Burial Sea, and its target was Lin Xun who was currently stationed in his new sect!

“New Genesis Sect was only just established. The whole sect only has one protector who is Emperor Lord Lin. I don't know if they can resolve this problem...” Someone was worried.

“The Emperors of the Ancient Wasteland Domain were all killed by him, their bases completely uprooted. With Emperor Lord Lin's might, how can he fail to defuse this storm?” Many were confident in Lin Xun.

No one could forget the bloody battle that had taken place in the Forbidden City a few months ago. Through it, Lin Xun established himself as a supreme deity in the hearts of all cultivators.

“No. The Monster-Beast Battle Alliance doesn’t know those forces in the Ancient Wasteland Domain were overthrown? Impossible. They also can’t

not

know how terrifying Emperor Lord Lin's battle prowess is. Since they have decided to come see him, they must have something to rely on!”

Such was the analysis of the major powers. They believed that since the Monster-Beast Battle Alliance dared to do this, it must be a well-thought-out and long-planned operation.

This storm was destined to be extraordinary!

“If New Genesis Sect can't even get past this hurdle, who will still be as eager to join it as they have been?”

“At that time, the newly established New Genesis Sect will be in shambles!”

The world was stirred with voices of discussions.

Meanwhile, in New Genesis Sect.

Lin Zhong, Zhao Tailai, Zhao Xingye, and a host of other officials had also received the news. Currently, they were all frowning as they understood the gravity of the situation.

New Genesis Sect had only been built a short while ago. For the Monster-Beast Battle Alliance to send ten whole Emperors to pay a visit at this juncture, they were definitely coming from a bad place.

Lin Zhong’s group even knew in their hearts that this so-called visit was in fact to test the depths of New Genesis Sect.

No, strictly speaking, they wanted to test Lin Xun's ability!

If Lin Xun failed to display a power that could dominate those ten Great Emperors, then the Monster-Beast Battle Alliance would foreseeably take advantage of this opportunity to create chaos.

“I'll find Young Master.” Lin Zhong made a decision.

In a training field on top of Mind Cleansing Peak, nearly a hundred teenagers were practicing martial arts.

These teenagers were the first generation of disciples of New Genesis Sect, selected from the Lin Clan, the royal family, the Rune Master Association, Qinglu Academy, and Golden Jade Hall.

They were all outstanding in terms of talent and aptitude.

However, what Lin Xun valued most was perseverance, mindset, and vigor.

During the years of traveling worlds, he had seen his fair share of amazing geniuses, but often only those who have great perseverance, courage, and a firm mind could go farther on the path.

Heaven rewarded diligence, and diligence could make up for the lack of intelligence. Although this saying was crude, it had been an unbreakable truth since time immemorial.

Prime examples were his ninth senior brother Ge Yupu and his eleventh senior brother Pu Zhen.

At the moment, Lin Xun's Green Wood Dao body was holding Shi Yu's daughter Linlang as he stood and watched those teenagers from a distance.

Linlang was snuggled in Lin Xun's arms, blinking her big, limpid eyes while asking questions after questions like she was the human form of curiosity.

Some of the questions were very childish, but Lin Xun still gave her detailed answers with patience and a smile. From time to time, he even teased the little girl. The two looked like they got along very well.

“Uncle Zhong, is something the matter?” Lin Xun noticed Lin Zhong right away when the latter arrived in the area.

After some hesitation, Lin Zhong informed him that the Monster-Beast Battle Alliance had sent ten Great Emperors to visit.

Hearing this, a cold gleam flashed in Lin Xun's eyes. He then laughed, “A trivial matter. Just tell the others to proceed normally with their affairs. If those fellows really dare to come to our door and cause a scene, then we'll see if they can bear the consequences.”

Lin Xun's unconcerned demeanor stunned Lin Zhong. He couldn't help but say, “Young Master, it’s ten Great Emperors we’re talking about, and they must have planned this for a long time. They will come to us well-prepared.”

Lin Xun scoffed, “They are nothing more than some clowns. Don't worry, Uncle Zhong.”

Although Lin Zhong was still a little unsure inside, he still nodded and hurried away.

“Uncle, are we going to fight again?” Linlang's big eyes glowed.

Bursting out laughing, Lin Xun playfully knocked on her forehead.

......

The experts sent by the Monster-Beast Battle Alliance arrived a bit earlier than expected.

Only three days after the news was spread, ten Great Emperors from different races appeared outside the Forbidden City without concealing their auras. They were discovered immediately, causing a stir in the city.

Countless citizens were nervous. Even the air in the entire Forbidden City had become tense.

Outside the city.

The clouds were dark, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The ten Great Emperors stood in the sky. One was circled by silver lightning arcs. One had light wheels representing the sun, moon, and stars behind their head. One treaded on mountains of corpses and seas of blood, towering over a purgatory. One held a world in their hand, divine light blooming in their eyes...

Their oppressive might belonging to the Emperor Stage converged together, raging like an uncontrollable hurricane that covered the nine heavens and ten earths. Under this pressure, the space around the city buzzed and wailed, and the mountains and rivers trembled.

No one dared to approach them.

Wherever those ten stood, their auras alone could kill anyone under the Emperor Stage!

In this crushing and murderous atmosphere, the ten Great Emperors announced one after another:

“From the Violet Shark Clan, I’m Feng Xian, here to see Emperor Lord Lin!”

“From the Golden Flood-Dragon Clan, I’m Rui Chong, here to see Emperor Lord Lin!”

“From the Lightning Python Clan, I’m Wu Jiu...”

“From the Flying Monkey Clan...”

Their voices permeated with majesty resounded outside and then spread throughout the Forbidden City, shaking the clouds in all eight directions.

It was like a burst of thunderstorms rattling the sky dome.

The cultivators in the city were so horrified that their hearts quivered. Indeed, those who came weren't well-intentioned.

All gazes were directed toward Mind CleansingPeak in unison where New Genesis Sect was located.

Lin Zhong’s group had grave looks on their faces. The experts of New Genesis Sect all stopped what they were doing as well.

In this oppressive atmosphere, there was suddenly a swish!

A handsome figure flew up in the air. He was dressed in snow-white and carried extraordinary elegance.

It was Lin Xun's White Metal Dao Body.

In the air, he took a step and appeared outside the city in a flash.

“It's Emperor Lord Lin!” Numerous cultivators in the city who noticed this instantly perked up. Their eyes glowed with fervent admiration.

When the ten Great Emperors saw Lin Xun stepping out alone, their eyes narrowed slightly, but their comportments remained calm and majestic.

“I am here. Do you have something you want to say?” asked Lin Xun directly.

The other party was all stunned.

Eyes flickering, one of them said heavily, “We are here with a matter to discuss with Emperor Lord Lin. The Monster-Beast Battle Alliance of Spirit Burial Sea would like to build a foundation in this sacred city of all Heavenly Dao...”

“Out of the question, and this is non-negotiable,” Lin Xun directly cut them off. “My New Genesis Sect will be the only handler of the Forbidden City. No other forces are allowed to intervene, and whoever does shall be executed without mercy.”

His statement was so clear and concise that there was no room for maneuver.

The ten Great Emperors frowned deeply as their expressions turned unsightly. They had come prepared this time, thinking that their combined power would be able to make Lin Xun act with reservation.

Defying all their imaginations, the other party's attitude was incredibly uncourteous and nonchalant from the very beginning!

A tall, big, and mighty-looking man shrouded in golden light grunted coldly, “Fellow Daoist, you want to rule the entire All Dao Holy Land alone? Don’t you think that’s too overbearing?”

The others also chimed in.

“We came here with good intentions, and we want nothing more than to become citizens of the Forbidden City. We have no intention to give you trouble, Emperor Lord Lin, so I hope that you will think twice.”

“Emperor Lord Lin, the revival of aeth qi concentrations is introducing a great era. With your power alone... I'm afraid that it’s impossible for you to monopolize the Forbidden City. Why not give away some of the territory to us?”

They used discussing tones, but threats were revealed between the lines.

Facing this, Lin Xun raised a finger and said flatly, “Let me say this again, this matter is non-negotiable. I advise you guys to disappear now, or don't blame me for getting rough.”

The moment these words came out, the cultivators who were watching collectively gasped.

Emperor Lord Lin’s predominance is truly peerless.

After all, ten Great Emperors were at the city walls ready to wage war. If it was anyone else who was faced with this, how would they ever dare to act so tough?

On the other hand, the faces of the ten Great Emperor experts had clouded over.
