Chapter 2543 Seek Help

Lin Xun had always followed a simple principle: he would not provoke others unless provoked first. If someone dared to offend him...

Then regardless of who they were or where they came from, he would repay them in kind, blood for blood and tooth for tooth!

Besides the Gu and Yun Clans, Lin Xun had several other enemies on his mind.

Such as the Immortal Imperial Clans such as Wen, Heng, Luo, and Zhu.

Back in Chaotian City, these clans had publicly declared that if he dared to step foot into the Battlefield of the Gods, they would kill him without mercy. To such threats, Lin Xun had no intention of being courteous.

Others might grow numb to the itch if they had too many lice, but he had so many enemies that he no longer feared them.

Clang!

Lin Xun snapped his fingers, and the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron let out a low, resonant hum. In the next instant, he vanished into the vast golden desert.

......

“Be cautious. There’s only a little over a day left. Don’t lower your guard!”

Deep within a secluded valley, Wen Beidu reminded his companions via voice transmission. “Forget the battle merits. As long as we survive, we can enter the third level.”

He was a senior Emperor Ancestor of the Wen Clan.

Several Wen Clan experts stood beside him, all nodding in agreement.

They had been lying in wait here for quite some time. Even if someone discovered them, few would dare to act rashly upon seeing such a formidable lineup.

“Elder, I heard that the Gu, Yun, and Li have joined forces to hunt down Lin Xun. This time, he’s surely doomed.” A man said with a grin through voice transmission, a gloating gleam in his eyes.

Just then, a calm and indifferent voice rang out across the valley, “In my opinion, it’s all of you who are doomed this time.”

The voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed in the ears of Wen Beidu and the others, making their expressions shift all at once.

They looked up to see a tall and imposing figure hovering in the sky above the valley, black hair fluttering in the wind, resembling a celestial being.

Lin Xun!

Wen Beidu and the others were shaken to the core, struggling to believe their eyes.

Isn’t it said that he was being hunted by three Immortal Imperial Clans?

“Run!”

Wen Beidu was the first to react, instantly sending a voice transmission to urge the others to retreat.

Unfortunately for them, at that moment, Lin Xun struck without hesitation.

Boom!

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron blazed with divine brilliance, releasing billion rays of dao light that engulfed the entire canyon.

In a flash, Lin Xun’s true body and his five dao bodies teleported through the air, launching a ruthless assault on Wen Beidu and the others.

In less than thirty breaths, the battle had ended. Wen Beidu and all Wen Clan cultivators present were slaughtered. The surrounding landscape for thousands of miles was reduced to desolate ruins.

Swoosh!

A divine rainbow streaked across the sky as Lin Xun vanished into the horizon.

Time flew by.

During this period, he moved like a silent shadow across the vast expanse of the Great Emptiness Immortal Realm, patrolling the lands as he went.

Even when spotted by cultivators, he vanished almost immediately, leaving behind only a fleeting impression.

However, wherever he went, bloodshed followed. One deadly incident after another unfolded, and cultivators from various factions met their end.

Among those eliminated were members of the Heng Clan, Luo Clan, Zhu Clan...

Compared to the Donghuang’s Four Clans, these Immortal Imperial Clans that wielded Earth Rank laws and were entrenched in the Sixth Heaven Domain were far inferior in both numbers and overall strength.

They posed little threat to Lin Xun, and he showed no mercy, striking swiftly and without the slightest hesitation.

In less than a day, he had already slain over twenty enemies, and the number of battle merits recorded on his talisman had reached a staggering forty-three!

His actions weren't something that could be kept concealed for long. Soon, they drew the attention of countless cultivators and left many shaken to their core.

“Could it be that the joint efforts of the three Donghuang’s Four Clans have failed?”

Only then did many people come to a belated realization that something was terribly wrong. Lin Xun was slaughtering his enemies without restraint. Could it mean that the murderous calamity unleashed against him had already ended in failure?

“That guy is ruthless. Everyone he’s killed so far came from factions that bear a grudge against him!”

Some were chilled to the core when they realized his intent, shocked by the ruthless and merciless nature of his revenge.

“In this vast Great Emptiness Immortal Realm, is there really no one who can suppress this man’s edge?” someone cried out bitterly, feeling deeply unsettled. After all, anyone qualified to participate in the Big Hunt was an overlord-like figure who stood above the rest!

Despite that, now, among all these overlord-level existences, not a single one could suppress Lin Xun’s dominance!

“No need to worry. For those of us with no grudges against Lin Xun, we should be safe for now...”

Someone said this to reassure their companions.

......

Meanwhile, Lin Xun’s brows furrowed. He had already located the Gu and Yun Clan cultivators, but finding a chance to strike was difficult.

The two clans were acting in unison, and with powerhouses like Gu Banzhuang and Yun Luohong overseeing their forces, They had formed an impenetrable defense with no opening to strike.

If he launched a direct assault, he was confident he could deal a devastating blow, but at the same time, he would also have to pay a heavy price in return.

He couldn’t accept a lose-lose outcome.

After all, this was the Great Emptiness Immortal Realm. No one could leave until the three-day hunting period ended. That meant that if he was injured and intercepted before he recovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

He had even deliberately revealed his whereabouts, hoping to bait the Gu and Yun Clan cultivators into giving chase. If they followed, he would once again divide their forces and defeat them one by one.

Who would have thought that even when he showed himself, the experts of the two Immortal Imperial Clans only assumed a defensive posture, remaining on high alert without making any move to attack.

Clearly, the other party had already grasped how terrifying he was, and had no intention of giving him any opportunity to exploit. This left Lin Xun feeling somewhat helpless.

“Huh?”

While he was debating whether to continue the pursuit, he suddenly flipped his hand and a crystal-clear jade talisman shaped like a green willow leaf appeared in his palm.

In the next moment, a clear and pleasant voice came from the jade talisman, laced with anxiety and panic, “Brother Lin, please save my uncle! He...he’s dying...” The voice was choked with sobs.

It was Xiang Xiaoyuan’s voice.

Lin Xun’s dark eyes narrowed sharply. The green willow leaf talisman was given to him by Xiang Xiaoyuan before they entered the Ruins of the Gods. Yue Duqiu had also received one.

For Xiang Xiaoyuan to call for help at this moment could only mean her uncle Liuxiang Que was in grave danger and he could perish at any time. Otherwise, given her temperament, she would never have sounded so panicked and distraught.

“Liuxiang Que is an Emperor Ancestor of the Liuxiang Clan in the Seventh Heaven Domain, with a status no lesser than Nan Yongqiang, Gu Banzhuang, or Li Henshui. Who in the Great Emptiness Immortal Realm would dare strike so ruthlessly against someone like him?”

Lin Xun couldn’t help but be surprised. He thought he was the only one, barefoot and with nothing to lose, who would dare confront those wearing fine shoes, boldly clashing head-on with the powerful Immortal Imperial Clans of the Seventh Heaven Domain. Who would have thought there were others just as fearless!

This made him conclude that the opponent capable of forcing Liuxiang Que to such a dire state was certainly no ordinary opponent.

He was immediately reminded of Cang Fusheng’s warning.

“In the Great Emptiness Immortal Realm, there are foes far more terrifying than the Donghuang’s Four Clans!”

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Lin Xun had already sprung into action. The green willow leaf talisman buzzed faintly, emitting a guiding force that pointed him toward the battlefield.

Far in the distance, Gu Banzhuang, Yun Luohong and the others, who had been on constant alert, quickly noticed his abrupt departure.

“He actually gave up?” someone muttered in surprise

“He must’ve gotten scared,” another snorted smugly.

“Fool.”

Gu Banzhuang shot the speaker a cold glare. “There are so many of us, yet we’ve been held in check by him alone this whole time. Do you really think someone like that would back down out of fear? Use your brain before you speak next time!”

The man immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Yun Luohong said, “Whatever the reason, we must remain vigilant. Until the Big Hunt is over, we must not split up.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Lin Xun was simply too terrifying. If they dared to scatter, it could lead to utter disaster!

......

Amid a devastated stretch of mountains and rivers, Liuxiang Que was coughing up blood, his body mangled and on the verge of collapse. But he continued to resist with all his might. Anyone could tell that he couldn’t hold on much longer.

His opponent was a muscular, powerfully built man, with bronze-toned skin exposed across his upper body. He had a gleaming bald head, strikingly handsome features, and fierce, menacing eyes. Branded on his smooth forehead a sinister, blood-red totem in the shape of an iris flower.

With every strike he unleashed, dazzling blood-red lightning surged and rumbled across the heavens and earth, like countless scarlet iris flowers blooming in fury, ready to devour their prey.

Despite being only at the eighth realm Supreme Emperor Stage, his aura was fierce, domineering and sharp beyond comparison. He was suppressing an Emperor Ancestor like Liuxiang Que, relentlessly chasing and striking him down. He was outrageously strong.

Not far from the battlefield stood two men and a woman.

The woman was clad in long golden robes. Her waist was slender and she possessed a quiet, refined grace. From beginning to end, she didn’t once glance at the battlefield.

In her hands was a yellow scroll, which she quietly studied. Her features were gentle and serene, and her demeanor calm and composed, as if the battle was far less interesting than the scroll in her hand.

Without even lifting her eyes from the scroll, she spoke softly, “Qing Meng, that’s enough. He is after all an elder of the Liuxiang Clan. Don’t be too cruel. If you really want someone to play with, wait until we return to the Eternal True Realm. I’ll pick a few opponents for you then.”

When the bald, handsome young man named Qing Meng heard the woman speak, he looked slightly unwilling but still obeyed. He grinned at the nearly-dead Liuxiang Que and sneered, “You’ve lived for so many years, only to end up beaten like a dog. If I were you, I would have killed myself already.”

“Enough nonsense. In terms of seniority, he’s from your grandfather’s generation. Don’t go too far. Otherwise, if the Liuxiang Clan decides to retaliate, I’ll be the one who has to explain things to the family.”

The woman in the long dress didn’t even lift her head, still reading through her scroll as she spoke carelessly.

However, Qing Meng didn’t dare say another word. He rubbed his bald head, laughed dryly and stepped away from the battlefield.

At the same time, a man in black standing beside the woman in the golden robes lowered his gaze to the ground, smiling gently as he said in a soft voice, “Miss, your reinforcements haven’t arrived yet?”

Beneath his feet lay a person.

Xiang Xiaoyuan.
