Qiu Wen stealthily moved under the night sky.
He was dressed in black and had a strong, healthy figure. His cultivation was at the intermediate Spirit Sea stage, and he belonged to the Qingyun Sect.
Like the disciples from the other sects, Qiu Wen had gone to Mount Luohou in search of opportunities and to polish his martial dao.
It was rumored that an ancient Luohou Monster-Beast King had been buried in the Luohou Mountain Range, and there was an ancient ruin hidden in his burial grounds. Although it would contain untold dangers, it was also a place with numerous opportunities.
Hence why Spirit Sea cultivators in the Ancient Spirit World would opt to train in Mount Luohou.
Qiu Wen had spent nearly a month in Mount Luohou and had encountered many dangers. However, he had yet to find anything of real value.
This made him feel rather helpless.
“If there’s still nothing in the next three days, I will leave this god-forsaken place and return home!”
Qiu Wen gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Boom!It was at this moment that a thunderous boom sounded far away.
A terrifying storm soared into the sky, ripping apart the night and scattering the clouds. It caused the hidden beasts in the vicinity to howl and hiss in terror and panic.
The magnificent scene was especially attention-grabbing in the darkness and stupefied Qiu Wen.
A chance!
Qiu Wen quickly returned to his senses as his eyes shone brightly. Such a grand phenomenon must be the sign of something big!
Swoosh~
Without hesitation, Qiu Wen’s figure dashed forward, sprinting toward the site at full speed.
……
“What a terrifying sight. Could it be the appearance of an amazing treasure?”
“Quick, let’s go and look. Such a phenomenon descending at night is definitely proof that something big must be happening!”
“Go!”
Meanwhile, other cultivators nearby were also excited like Qiu Wen after discovering the astonishing phenomenon.
As such, everyone rushed toward the origin of the storm in unison.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Resplendent and gorgeous lights appeared in the night, leaving streaks of light in the darkness.
Those that could fly were clearly experts with at least Spirit Sea cultivation!
Qiu Wen grew anxious when he saw this. Damnit, why did so many competitors suddenly appear?
Although such opportunities were desired by everyone, not just anyone had the strength to obtain them.
It was especially true in Mount Luohou, which had been chosen as a training ground by the disciples of the many great sects. Thus, it was easy to imagine how many experts would be drawn to vie over such an astonishing phenomenon.
A grassland soon appeared.
When Qiu Wen arrived, he was shocked to find that there was no longer any trace of the magnificent storm.
It was as if everything he had seen had merely been an illusion.
It was no illusion!
Qiu Wen quickly noticed that the middle of the grassland had been devastated as if it had been ravaged by a giant hand.
That must be where the storm came from!
“Over there!”
“The phenomenon has faded. This must mean that a treasure has appeared. Quickly search the place!”
“Hurry up and move!”
The traveling lights arrived nearby, revealing the figures of numerous cultivators. Like Qiu Wen, they had also realized that the strange phenomenon had originated from this grassland.
F*ck!
Qiu Wen secretly cursed as he hurriedly dashed to the center of the grassland.
However, Qiu Wen and the other experts were soon stunned.
They had found the figure of a youth lying on the ravaged and scorched-black earth at the center of the grassland.
This…
Everyone was confused and bewildered.
They had thought that there would be some kind of amazing treasure here. Who could have expected that all they would find was a youngster instead?
Who is he?
It was naturally Lin Xun.
“This kid must have taken the treasure!”
A man wearing a scarlet robe suddenly dashed forward like a phantom in an attempt to approach and subdue Lin Xun.
The others immediately returned to their senses and angrily roared.
“I am Young Master Fu Linguang of the Dragon Tiger Sect, who dares to snatch the treasure from me?”
“Who cares who you are? Hurry up and scram! This is not something your Dragon Tiger Sect can afford to get involved with!”
“Charge! No matter who it is, kill anyone who dares to compete with our Golden Light Sect!”
The situation immediately descended into chaos. Everyone became crazy and desperate as they began to fight over the ‘treasure.’
Just as they began charging forward, however, they heard a loud noise. The man in the scarlet robe, who had been the first to approach, had been sent flying.
His body flew backward as if he had been struck by a giant hammer, screaming as he arced through the air.
The chaotic scene was immediately replaced by a deathly silence. Everyone stopped what they were doing as their gazes looked toward the same direction in bewilderment.
The youngster on the ground was slowly rising to his feet!
His clothes were in tatters and stained with patches of blood. He seemed oblivious to the sword wounds all over his body, and his handsome face appeared exceptionally cold under the moonlight.
His eyes, in particular, looked like bottomless abysses. They seemed to surge with a horrifying storm-light gleam that sought to devour everything.
Several cultivators could not help but shiver when they met his gaze, feeling as if they were not facing a human but instead a volcano in the deep abyss that was about to erupt and destroy everything.
That first man had evidently been knocked away by this youngster!
A white-clothed man brandished his sword and shouted, “Kid, did you take the treasure that appeared here?”
Lin Xun remained silent as he looked at the white-clothed man.
The man’s expression immediately changed drastically as a chill filled his body. The youngster’s gaze felt as terrifying as a primordial beast opening its eyes.
The white-clothed man took a deep breath and sternly said, “Impudent! I asked you a question. Why aren’t you replying?”
Lin Xun suddenly thrust his hand and a dazzling storm of light appeared.
Bang!
The white-clothed man could not even react as his body abruptly exploded. Chunks of flesh splattered everywhere, causing the nearby cultivators to instinctively dodge in horror.
“This…”
“What a terrifying power!”
“Who is he? I can’t believe he dares to just kill without warning.”
“That was Li Jiannan, one of top younger generation experts of the Six Direction Sect. He was at the intermediate Spirit Sea cultivation but was unable to withstand a single blow!”
An uproar swept over the surroundings as the expressions of numerous cultivators involuntarily changed.
Lin Xun sighed. “You guys are too weak. Don’t come rushing to your deaths again.”
He turned around and began walking away.
Under the darkness of the night, his lone figure gave off an unexplainable sensation of bleakness and solitude.
“Trying to leave? Do you think it’ll be so easy? Leave the treasure behind first!”
A valiant youngster dashed forward and swung his spear at Lin Xun.
“Thousand Fantasy Gate’s Zhou Kongxiu! To think that he came as well!”
Several people gasped, recognizing the valiant-looking youngster. He was a famous heaven pride of the Thousand Fantasy Gate.
“What are you guys still standing around for? Let’s kill that kid together!”
“Quick! We cannot let him escape. An opportunity like this is worth risking our lives!”
With Zhou Kongxiu leading the charge, the other experts also began to shout as they rushed toward Lin Xun.
Rumble!
Lin Xun abruptly turned around, his face filled with cold indifference as a terrifying storm-like aura suddenly surged around him and soared into the sky.
“Since you guys wish to die, I’ll play a bit!”
He took a big step forward, caught the approaching spear, and lightly jerked it.
Zhou Kongxiu was jolted upward as a tsunami-like power slammed into him, causing him to cough blood as his body was knocked into the air.
Schlick!
While in the air, he was pierced by a spear, sending out a spray of blood into the night sky!
His spear had been seized by Lin Xun.
“You…”
Zhou Kongxiu could only utter one final word before he died. His face was still filled with confusion as if he still could not believe that a heaven pride of the Thousand Fantasy Gate like himself had been slain in a single move…
Rumble~
The other experts arrived at this moment. Blades, spears, swords, halberds, and other weapons glowed with deadly energy as they struck Lin Xun from all directions.
It was a horrifying scene. After all, it was naturally very terrifying when an entire group of Spirit Sea experts was attacking a single person.
Swoosh!
However, before any of them could reach Lin Xun, he swung the spear. A resplendent, faint blue glow shimmered on the spear as it swung through the air like an unstoppable ocean.
Plop!
Plop!
Plop!
Explosions of blood occurred in rapid succession as random body parts flew into the air.
Every individual in the spear’s path instantly lost their life! It spared no one and not a single person survived!
More than a dozen cultivators had forfeited their lives in an instant.
The bloody scene caused the remaining cultivators to involuntarily cry out as they immediately stopped their charge with horrified expressions.
“How can this be?”
“Who is he? How can he be so powerful?”
They finally felt fear, realizing how terrifying Lin Xun was!
A young teenager had effortlessly slaughtered more than a dozen Spirit Sea cultivators from various sects. It was inconceivable!
Lin Xun merely shook his head and turned around to leave again.
His expression had not changed from start to end. It was cold and indifferent as if he had no emotions.
The remaining experts hesitated as they watched him slowly walk away.
To chase or not?
They had been deeply shaken by the earlier scene and did not dare to risk attacking. However, they did not want to just give up like this as well.
The most comical part was that they still didn’t know what the strange phenomenon was earlier and if a treasure had appeared.
They still believed that the ‘treasure’ must be with Lin Xun.
An elderly voice suddenly rang out, “Youngin, such a treasure isn’t something a mere Spirit Sea cultivator like you should touch. It will be best if you leave it behind!”
