Chapter 2546 The Origin of the Woman in the Long Dress

The tall figure was like a fallen immortal, ethereal and exquisite, standing in the air, giving off a charm that seemed to be able to suppress everything.

The woman in the long dress clenched the yellow scroll in her hand, and her bright eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

This was also the first time she had shown such a serious look since Lin Xun had arrived.

In the distance, Qing Meng was completely stunned. To him, the man in plain robes was like an invincible existence. In the Eternal True Realm, he was a great man in the Emperor Stage, so powerful that it was unreasonable.

Many times, Qing Meng couldn't help but suspect that the other man could slap him to mush with a casual blow.

Of note, the man in plain robes had taken the initiative to attack, but it had been blocked! Furthermore, Lin Xun was unharmed!

This was an extremely heavy blow to Qing Meng’s heart, shocking him completely.

The black-clothed man, who had barely escaped death, had originally been holding back his resentment and anger when he was being violently beaten by Lin Xun. Now, he stared with his eyes wide open with despair.

"A supreme eighth realm Emperor can even shake me with one blow. It seems that the rumor is true."

In the silent atmosphere, the plain-clothed man stared at Lin Xun as he spoke. This was also the first time he had talked during this period of time. His voice was as heavy as iron. In his eyes, there was surprise and a hint of fighting intent.

"Should I feel honored?" Lin Xun raised his eyebrows with a look of concentration in his eyes.

The previous exchange had already made him realize that the plain-robed man in front of him, who looked quite unassuming, must be a supreme Emperor Ancestor!

Furthermore, this was also the second supreme Emperor Ancestor that Lin Xun had encountered. The other one was Yun Muzhe from the Seventh Heavenly Domain.

Strictly speaking, however, this was his first battle with a supreme Emperor Ancestor. Their kind of unparalleled power was indeed extremely abnormal and quite dangerous. Compared to an ordinary Ancestor of a Path, it was as different as heaven and earth.

"In the Eternal True Realm, I only heard that there are characters like you in the Eternal Divine Clans, but this is just a rumor after all. No one dares to be certain whether such claims are true or false."

The man in plain robes continued, "But your appearance undoubtedly proves that the rumors are not groundless. I will give you a chance. As long as you can hold on for a quarter of an hour against me, I will ask the lady to let you go."

A quarter of an hour!

This was a declaration of war from a supreme Emperor Ancestor!

Lin Xun narrowed his black eyes slightly. Then he smiled, but his smile had no mirth as he said, "I am only worried that these will be your famous last words."

The man in plain clothes was unmoved and added, "I have never feared death."

His eyes were full of tranquility.

"Lin Feng, come back, there is no need to continue this battle," said the woman in the long dress from far away, her expression as unperturbed as before.[1]

The plain-robed man named Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then turned back.

A supreme Emperor Ancestor had actually obeyed the commands of the woman in the long dress!

Lin Xun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"How would you feel about this matter ending here?" The woman in the long dress gazed at Lin Xun, her voice gentle and clear.

Lin Xun laughed and said, "Do you truly believe that the issues you all first caused can end like this? In other words, if I, Lin Xun, hadn't come this time, my friend and that elder would have been tortured to death by you!"

If he had really fought with all his strength, then he was sure that he’d be able to kill Lin Feng. Of course, he would definitely pay a heavy price to do so.

After all, his opponent was a supreme Emperor Ancestor. Such an individual was far beyond ordinary Ancestors. Not to mention, such an expert would definitely have some extremely threatening trump cards up their sleeves.

However, Lin Xun was too lazy to think too hard about this. He only knew that Liuxiang Que’s and Xiang Xiaoyuan's misfortune had been caused by him, so he could only avenge this himself!

"Impudent and reckless!" Qing Meng couldn't help but shout. He couldn't believe where Lin Xun had gotten the confidence to continue to pursue something like this.

"Qing Meng, come here,” commanded the woman in the long dress.

Qing Meng was startled, but he still walked over and said, "Miss, did I say the wrong thing again?"

The woman in the long dress shook her head, "I saved your life because you were the one I chose, but your previous performance has made me a little disappointed."

Qing Meng's heart trembled as he pleaded, "Miss, as long as you give me a chance, I will definitely have the opportunity to become a supreme Emperor Ancestor!"

Crack!

As soon as he finished speaking, his neck was twisted.

All of a sudden, Qing Meng's pupils bulged out in disbelief. At his moment of death, he had seen clearly that the one who had killed him was the plain-clothed man, Lin Feng! Unfortunately, he could not figure out why the other party wanted to kill him...

Bang!

The next moment, his remains transformed into a pile of ash that scattered away.

"This..." The seriously injured man in black shuddered all over, shocked by this cruel scene. He also felt at a loss, and an unspeakable fear descended upon him.

Why was this happening?!

He did not dare to ask, for fear that he would be the next to suffer such a fate.

"How about this?"

The woman in a long dress who was holding a yellow scroll looked at Lin Xun. The death of Qing Meng, who was an incredibly fierce and extremely powerful eighth realm supreme Emperor, did not seem to affect her mood at all.

Lin Xun felt a chill in his heart after witnessing this and gazed at the elegant and self-assured woman in a long dress.

This woman looked gentle and demure, but in fact, she was also a very cruel person.

Her kind of cruelty was a kind of ruthlessness that was situated high above and was indifferent to the lives of the world. In her eyes, even a dazzling and incredible eighth realm supreme Emperor was someone whose fate could be decided by her!

"I am curious, why did you do this?" Lin Xun asked.

The woman in the long dress smiled slightly and explained, "He embarrassed me. Is that enough of a reason?"

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Then why not kill this man too?"

He looked pointedly at the black-robed man, whose face immediately had become extremely ugly. He was so angry that he wanted to eat Lin Xun alive.

The woman in the long dress said, "Although he was defeated, he still has the potential to become stronger in the future. I couldn’t bear to lose such...a friend."

Relief instantly descended upon the man in black robes. It felt as if he had just taken a stroll at the edge of death!

"A friend?" Lin Xun sneered, "People like you are destined to have no friends."

"Maybe." The woman continued casually, "I have now recognized your strength. If you are willing, I can take you to the Eighth Heaven Domain to cultivate, and I can also provide you with resources to become a supreme Emperor Ancestor."

Lin Xun was stunned and asked back, "Do you think I would be willing to accept such an offer?"

The woman in the long dress looked at Lin Xun seriously and said, "Things in this world are unpredictable. To be frank, I have never failed to get what I have wanted."

She paused and then continued, "You can think about it carefully. When the matter of the Ruins of the Gods is over, if you have not made a decision, then I will only have to help you make a decision."

After that, she turned and left, holding the yellow scroll in one hand and her other hand behind her back. Her long skirt fluttered, and her demeanor was calm. The plain-clothed man, Lin Feng, followed closely behind.

In the end, the black-robed man also walked away. Before he left, he had glanced at Lin Xun with a complicated look that had a mixture of pure hatred and a hint of inexplicable jealousy.

Lin Xun stood still and watched them leave. In the end, he did not try to stop them.

Other than the plain-clothed man Lin Feng, the woman in the long dress had also given him an unpredictable sense and even a hint of danger.

It had been a long time since Lin Xun had last experienced this feeling. In fact, he knew in his heart that this woman might have enough power to threaten him!

"The Eighth Heaven Domain... She must be from a certain Immortal Giant..." Lin Xun turned around and left while thinking.

...

On the bank of a huge lake that resembled a green jade mirror, Xiang Xiaoyuan said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Lin."

She knew too well that if Lin Xun had not come to her rescue this time, she and her uncle, Liuxiang Que, would never have had a chance to survive.

"Speaking of which, it was because of me that you and Senior Liuxiang were pulled into this," Lin Xun sighed softly. He took out some precious healing medicines and handed them to Xiang Xiaoyuan and Liuxiang Que.

"Little friend, say no more. I, Liuxiang Que, will never forget your kindness today!" Liu Xiangque sat cross-legged on the ground as he recovered from his injuries.

Lin Xun shook his head and changed the subject, "Senior, do you know the origins of those people?"

A hint of bitterness and fear flashed in the older man’s eyes as he said, "If I couldn’t recognize the identity of that woman, then I would have lived in vain..."

Next, he explained the origins of the woman in the long dress. Her name was Qi Lingyun, and she came from the Qi Clan, one of the Ten Immortal Giants in the Eighth Heaven Domain. She was also a core figure of the Qi Clan’s direct lineage. Her father was a giant in the Eighth Heaven Domain and had unimaginable power.

Among the Ten Immortal Giants in the Eighth Heaven Domain, the Qi Clan was a behemoth that could be listed in the top three. It had been rumored since ancient times that the ancestor of the Qi Clan was a son of a God from an Eternal Divine Clan of the Ninth Heaven Domain!

As the daughter of the current leader of the Qi Clan, Qi Lingyun had an incredibly special and extraordinary identity. After understanding this, Lin Xun finally understood why Liuxiang Que could suffer such a great humiliation, but only have some bitterness and fear after the fact.

Even though he was an elder of the Liuxiang Clan in the Seventh Heaven Domain, he was fated to swallow any anger when facing the daughter of the leader of an Immortal Giant in the Eighth Heaven Domain! There was no thought of seeking retaliation.

Otherwise, it was likely that the entire Liuxiang Clan would be implicated by this!

Although Lin Xun did not agree with this mindset, he also understood it. After all, an elder like Liuxiang Que needed to consider the safety of his clan when doing anything.

As for the plain-robed man Lin Feng, he was a legendary figure from an Immortal Imperial Clan in the Fifth Heaven Domain. A long time ago, when he had not yet reached the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Stage, he had revealed a dazzling brilliance that had shaken the whole region. He was spotted by a big shot of the Qi Clan and brought to the Eighth Heaven Domain to cultivate.

Now, this Lin Feng could be regarded as a devoted outer member of the Qi Clan, serving Qi Lingyun. Although he was a subordinate, in the eyes of others, being able to cultivate in the Qi Clan was akin to being a fish that had leapt over the dragon gate and reached a lofty station!

Even the Immortal Imperial Lin Clan, which was originally located in the Fifth Heaven Domain and whose power could only be considered ordinary, had been expanding its powerbase in recent years because of Lin Feng.

As the saying went, when a person ascended, even his chickens and dogs would rise too!
