The Prodigies War

Chapter 1824: The Matter is Over

The streets were bustling with activity.

Whirlwind Ship belonged to the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, so no matter what sort of noble identity the passengers had, they generally did not dare to cause trouble on the ship.

After all, the presence of two quasi-Emperor cultivators from Heavenly Sound Pavilion on the ship had a great deterrent effect.

However, no one was aware that a brutal slaughter had unfolded in a quiet room that was isolated from the outside world in the martial training hall.

Snow Restaurant.

On the second floor, in an elegant dining room.

A group was drinking in the room, and each of them radiated a dignified and extraordinary bearing.

The restaurant manager had repeatedly reminded the servants that the group of people all had a distinguished identity and must be served with the finest wine and most exquisite dishes.

Furthermore, no one should disturb the esteemed customers without a good reason.

Lin Xun showed up at Snow Restaurant. The restaurant was very busy, packed with customers, including experienced cultivators with superb strength.

Despite that, from beginning to end, no one noticed his presence.

Under the cover of Suanni Qi, no one could detect Lin Xun’s existence unless they were an expert with extraordinary special talent or someone of a much higher cultivation level than Lin Xun.

This was one of the miraculous transformations that resulted from the integration of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations and the Great Dao Furnace Art.

Dragons could freely roam the cosmos or lurk in the shadows without being noticed.

Lin Xun walked up to the second floor of the restaurant, which the owner had prohibited access to outsiders. He stood at the door of the dining room for a moment, then with a flourish of his hand, set up a restriction array.

Then, he knocked on the door lightly.

“Who is it? Didn’t I tell you that no one should disturb our gathering?” A discontent voice sounded from inside the room.

“The matter regarding the martial training hall is over,” Lin Xun stated indifferently.

The lively atmosphere in the room instantly died down.

The door creaked open and a bearded man stood at the door, staring at Lin Xun suspiciously. “Who told you to come here?”

“Xue Weileng,” Lin Xun declared.

This was the name of the man in a red robe, but unfortunately he was now dead.

Although the bearded man found Lin Xun’s attitude a little strange, his expression eased and he said aloud, “Come in, tell me more about. What happened?”

Lin Xun walked into the room and ran his eyes across the five people present. “Xue Weileng said that he is waiting to reunite with you all in hell.”

“What?” The bearded man’s expression dramatically changed.

However, before he could react, Lin Xun’s hand was already around his neck.

Almost at the same time, a Great Dao Field that looked somewhat like a furnace and somewhat like an abyss spread outwards from Lin Xun, covering the entire dining room.

A dull rumble filled the room, then very quickly faded into silence.

When Lin Xun withdrew his Great Dao Field, the six experts from Primordial Dao Court who had been chatting cheerfully in the room moments ago were all dead.

Among them, one was a supreme Saint-King, two were Saint-Kings and three were supreme Big Saints. They were all lackeys of Kong Yu.

Without exception, they were all wiped out from the world, without a shred of their remains left.

On the table, the plates of delicious food were still steaming and the fragrant wine had just been topped up, but there was no one to enjoy it.

Lin Xun took out his own green gourd and took a sip, then turned around and strode out of the room. The restriction array faded and he drifted away.

The restaurant was bustling as usual.

……

Lin Xun walked down the crowded streets, heading for his next destination.

Earlier in the training hall, before killing the red-robed man and the others, Lin Xun had used all sorts of torture, including extracting their spirits, to obtain the information he wanted.

For example, he learned the number of experts that Kong Yu had dispatched, their strength, names, appearances, and locations.

A few moments later…

Lin Xun walked into a brothel called Fragrance House.

In VIP room number 1, dozens of beautiful women with different personalities and temperaments were dancing elegantly in light gauze dresses. They showcased their jaw-dropping figures and alluring curves as they showed off their dance moves.

The beautiful women came from different small worlds and belonged to different clans and tribes, and their beauty all varied.

A topless purple-robed man with an arrogant demeanor was drinking and enjoying himself with a woman in his arms. His hand was running up and down the woman’s delicate body.

Neither the women nor the purple-robed man noticed that a person had entered the room and was watching them coldly.

Lin Xun wasted no time and called out a name, “Huai Ziyin?”

“Who are you?”

The purple-robed man suddenly froze.

Shua!

Instantly, eternal darkness seemed to have descended as a dark abyss swallowed up the room.

When Lin Xun left, dozens of beautiful women were lying unconscious on the floor, but the purple-robed man was nowhere to be seen.

……

An hour later.

Lin Xun walked into a store that specialized in medicinal herbs and pills.

In an alchemy room, an old man with white hair and beard and a majestic presence was adjusting a fiery-red cauldron to refine a medicinal pill.

It was a critical juncture of the refinement process.

“Tong’er, bring me the last of the divine ingredients!”

The old man had a solemn look on his face, while his eyes were fixed on the roaring cauldron.

The door of the alchemy room swung open and a figure marched in. He glanced at the fiercely burning cauldron and said, “This batch of pills is going to be ruined.”

The old man stiffened, raised his head and snapped, “Who are you? How dare you disturb me while I am refining medicinal pills?!”

Lin Xun smiled. “Look, it’s ruined.”

With a boom, the airflow within the cauldron raged chaotically and the cauldron itself buzzed like crazy, followed by white smoke and a burning smell leaking out.

The old man raged, “I am going to kill you.”

Pu!

Before his voice faded, the Broken Blade flew out, slicing the old man’s throat. His head hurled into the air and was caught by Lin Xun.

……

Next, Lin Xun continued to show up in different places of the ship, like a silent killer, harvesting one life after another.

On the way back to his residence, Lin Xun counted on his fingers and calculated that it took him half an hour from his departure to his return.

He furrowed his brows. Not fast enough…

But the outcome was not bad.

All those who should be killed have been killed, so I would say it was a successful operation.

As Lin Xun walked up the mountain path, he sensed that the Heavenly Sound Pavilion experts hiding in the dark seemed to have lost their calm, as indicated by the subtle fluctuations in their aura.

Perhaps, they did not expect him to come back alive?

Lin Xun shook his head and continued forward.

When Lin Xun walked past a courtyard, the hemp-clothed youth poked his head over the wall and exclaimed in amazement, “Brother, you actually came back alive! Impressive!”

“This is Heavenly Sound Pavilion’s ship. Who would dare to harm me?” Lin Xun said indifferently.

He suddenly stopped and looked at the youth. “Curiosity can kill people. You are still young, it’s best for you to not be so loud.”

With that, he walked off.

The hemp-clothed youth spat out, “You talk like an elder but you are obviously not that old, yet you have to pretend to be deep and wise. It’s not likable at all.”

He rolled his eyes, then he said aloud, “Granny, there’s a fresh smell of blood on that guy. I reckon that many people must have died on this ship. Haha, this is going to be fun.”

In the courtyard, the old woman sighed helplessly, “Young Master, you can watch the fun, but you can’t interfere. Do you know that your conversation with that person just now has already been captured by other people? If that person really committed a bloody crime, then the others will suspect you.”

The youth said nonchalantly, “They can suspect me all they want. But as long as I have you with me, I am not afraid even if the sky falls.”

The old woman glared at the boy, but then she couldn’t help laughing, looking at him dotingly, “Little rascal, you have to rely on me for the rest of your life.”

The youth grinned. “Yes, yes, yes, I am going to rely on you for my whole life. If my father tells me to live independently, I won’t want anything and won’t fight for anything. I just want my granny to come with me. If my father won’t permit it then I will cry, make a fuss, and even kill myself, but I won’t ever give in!”

The old woman laughed so hard that her body shook. Finally, she uttered in an emotional voice, “All those years I spent doting on you were not in vain.”

……

In another courtyard, Liu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Xun return, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

“Senior, did you find out anything?”

Liu Qingyan was worried about her master.

Of course, Lin Xun did not forget about this matter. He answered, “Your master is now in closed-door cultivation in Wenxian Pavilion under the protection of Xiao Yunkong and Ouyang Pei, so her life is not in danger.”

“Protection?”

Liu Qingyan trembled inwardly and her beautiful face paled. “They are clearly confining Master under house arrest!”

Lin Xun’s eyes were calm and his voice gentle. “Do you know what happened on my way back?”

Liu Qingyan was taken aback by the question, but she managed to control her emotions and said, “Senior, do you think I have the energy to care about other things now?”

Lin Xun said helplessly, “This matter also concerns you.”

“Me?” Liu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, I heard that something happened to the Primordial Dao Court experts on the ship. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I believe there will be news soon,” Lin Xun explained very vaguely.

Liu Qingyan froze and her eyes bulged wide. “Senior, please don’t comfort me. This ship belongs to Heavenly Sound Pavilion. Who would dare to harm people from Primordial Dao Court?”

Lin Xun smiled. “Whether you believe it or not, just wait for the news to come out.”

Liu Qingyan looked at Lin Xun, and finally suppressed her puzzlement and nodded.

On the same night.

In the martial training hall, a servant opened the door to training room number 3. She was about to tidy the room but she suddenly let out a terrified scream.

The entire martial training hall was alarmed. It was impossible to keep the bloody incident hidden.

Very quickly, news came out—

Xue Weileng and other disciples of Primordial Dao Court all died tragically in the training room!

The big shots of Heavenly Sound Pavilion on the ship were alerted right away, and they dropped everything they were doing to investigate the matter.

That night was not peaceful at all. Not long after the massacre at the martial training hall, unbelievable incidents continued to break out one after another in different areas of Whirlwind Ship.
