The Prodigies War-Chapter 2241 Heavenly Observation Mirror
Chapter 2241 Heavenly Observation Mirror
Lin Xun stared at Ao Zhentian for a moment and couldn’t help but let out a sigh, “From the very beginning, you strongly urged me to leave. Did you think that even if I came here, your True Dragon Lineage would never allow me to take Jingxuan and my child away?”
Ao Zhentian shook his head. “I’m just worried that something bad will happen to you. Whether you believe it or not, I...just don’t want to lose my friend.”
Lin Xun took a deep breath and said, “I understand.” His voice was calm, devoid of any ripple of emotion.
Yet it made Ao Zhentian’s heart tremble. “Brother Lin, don’t do anything rash! The Dragon Palace is far more terrifying than you think it is.”
“I understand your position and respect it because we are friends, but you should also consider my feelings in this matter!”
Ao Zhentian’s face turned ashen, his expression dazed.
“Yin Huan, do you want to stay with him or come with me?” Lin Xun turned to Yin Huan. “You should be aware that if the True Dragon Lineage finds you again, the consequences will be much more serious than last time.”
Yin Huan stiffened on the spot.
Ao Zhentian’s eyes reddened with anger, “This time, even if it means sacrificing my life, I won’t allow Yin Huan to suffer again!”
“Look at your current state. How can you guarantee this?” Lin Xun said, “If it weren’t for me, the woman you love would have already become a toy of those bastards!”
Yin Huan pleaded softly, her voice trembling, “Brother Lin, please don’t say any more. I want to be with Zhentian, even if it costs me my life.” Her tearful, heartfelt words struck a chord. The mighty Seventh Prince of the True Dragon Clan now stood frozen, his eyes brimming with tears, his composure utterly shattered.
“I will take both of you away from Heavenly Forbidden Mountain. Whether you choose to leave the True Dragon Lineage or remain, the decision is in your hands.”
After Lin Xun spoke, he lifted the restriction power with a flick of his fingers. An array flag appeared in his palm, radiating dreamy waves of restriction power that enveloped him, Ao Zhentian, and Yin Huan. Only then did they leave Heavenly Forbidden Mountain.
On the outskirts of Heavenly Forbidden Mountain.
“Take this to conceal your aura so that you won’t be detected.” Lin Xun then took out another array flag imbued with powerful restriction power and handed it to Ao Zhentian.
“Brother Lin...”
Ao Zhentian was about to say something when Lin Xun cut him off, “If you plan to persuade me, forget it. Or, you can try to stop me.”
As Lin Xun spoke firmly, he scanned the surroundings, preparing to leave, but before he could take another step, Ao Zhentian gritted his teeth and tossed a jade slip toward him. “This is a map of the world of the Dragon Palace. I have already marked every key location, large or small. If anything goes wrong...”
As he spoke, he took out another jade token and handed it to Lin Xun. “This is my personal token. It can unlock the restrictions and allow you to leave the Dragon Palace.
“This is all I can do. I hope...you can take my cousin Jingxuan and your child with you.
“Yin Huan, let’s go.” He took Yin Huan and left.
Lin Xun glanced at the jade slip and token in his hand, then looked at Ao Zhentian and Yin Huan disappearing into the distance. A hint of surprise flashed across his face and he immediately sent a voice transmission, “Thank you.”
Ao Zhentian didn’t turn back, but Yin Huan looked over her shoulder and waved at Lin Xun with a smile.
Hu—
Lin Xun exhaled a long breath of turbid air and unfurled the jade slip. It revealed a detailed map of the Dragon Palace, with various locations marked and annotated.
For example, the central area of the Dragon Palace was known as the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace, the very heart of the True Dragon Lineage. Throughout history, only those directly descended from the patriarch of the True Dragon Lineage were granted the privilege to reside there.
Near the Thousand Dragon Dao Palace stood a majestic mountain range, winding like a colossal coiling dragon. This was the Ancestral Dragon Mountain, the original ancestral grounds of the True Dragon Lineage. Old antiques guarded it throughout the year and under normal circumstances, even members of the True Dragon Lineage were forbidden from approaching it
Decades ago, the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly was held at the Dragon Pool in Ancestral Dragon Mountain.
Soon, Lin Xun noticed forty-nine marked routes leading to the outside world, each clearly indicated by Ao Zhentian.
After studying the map intently for some time, Lin Xun put away the jade slip and jade token, then set off.
“Hahaha, the True Dragon Lineage is in for big trouble!”
Just as Lin Xun was about to leave, a loud, manic laughter echoed from a dark prison deep within Heavenly Forbidden Mountain.
“All of this is the retribution brought about by the treachery of Dragon Emperor Mingluo. The heavens have eyes, and something big is finally about to unfold!” The voice echoed powerfully, resonating through the depths of Heavenly Forbidden Mountain. It was heard by the countless prisoners confined there, sparking a wave of clamor and restless movement.
“Nonsense!”
“Someone, go and deal with that old bastard from the Qiuniu Imperial Clan!”
“Quickly!”
Before long, guards stationed at Heavenly Forbidden Mountain surged forth like a tide, wielding long whips crackling with lightning as they stormed into the mountain.

Soon, a panicked message was sent out, “This is bad! The seventh prince is missing!”
“What?!”
Suddenly, all the guards of Heavenly Forbidden Mountain went pale, their faces filled with panic.
The seventh prince had been confined here on the orders of the patriarch himself, but now he had vanished. The consequences of this were unimaginable, and as guards, they knew they could not bear the responsibility.
“Hurry, spread the news that something huge has happened in Heavenly Forbidden Mountain!” someone roared urgently.
Before long, a group of figures appeared, teleporting through the sky from the distant horizon. Leading them was a mighty, imposing old man in a black robe, with golden hair and beard, exuding the monstrous aura of an Emperor.
Ao Tiankun, also known as Dragon Emperor Zhankun, was a distinguished figure who had reached the fifth realm Emperor Stage.
Upon learning about what happened in Heavenly Forbidden Mountain, Ao Tiankun’s face immediately darkened and he asked with a deep frown, “Where is Lord Battle Emperor Hunxue? Such a major incident has occurred, why isn’t he here?”
The guards exchanged uneasy glances, and one of them replied, “Earlier, the fourth prince brought someone here, Lord Battle Emperor Hunxue personally received them. I saw them enter Heavenly Forbidden Mountain.”
“Go find them!” Ao Tiankun commanded.
Soon, Battle Emperor Hunxue, gravely injured and unconscious, was found, but the sight left everyone horrified.
Who could have imagined that someone would dare commit such a crime within Heavenly Forbidden Mountain of the Dragon Palace?
Ao Tiankun’s wrinkly face darkened with fury, and with a swift motion, he slapped Battle Emperor Hunxue awake from his unconscious state.
“Tell me, what the hell happened? Where are the fourth prince and the seventh prince?” Ao Tiankun bellowed, his eyes terribly cold.
Though both were at the Emperor Stage, in Ao Tiankun’s eyes, Battle Emperor Hunxue was nothing more than an attendant elder and not worthy of his respect.
Although Battle Emperor Hunxue felt a surge of shame and anger, he still lowered his head, suppressing his fury, and recounted everything that had happened.
“So you were injured by that intruder? I’m curious to see just who this intruder is!” Ao Tiankun’s eyes flashed with cold intent as he swiftly took out a bright, translucent azure treasured mirror from his sleeve.
Buzz!
As the azure mirror emitted a radiant glow, numerous images swiftly appeared upon its surface.
Very quickly, Ao Tiankun saw the scene of Ao Xuanfeng and his party bringing Lin Xun into the Dragon Palace and all the way to Heavenly Forbidden Mountain.
Battle Emperor Hunxue kept his head lowered, but he knew that the azure treasure was called the Heavenly Observation Mirror, a relic possessed by every high-ranking member of the True Dragon Clan. Through it, one could observe events unfold across the Dragon Palace.
When Battle Emperor Hunxue met Lin Xun, he also specifically mentioned the existence of this treasure to him.
Ao Tiankun also saw the scene of Lin Xun and Battle Emperor Hunxue entering the cave together.
Not long after that, Ao Xuanfeng and his party had also entered.
However, in the end, Lin Xun was the only one who left the cave.
Seeing this, Ao Tiankun’s aged face clouded with frost, and a surge of unease gripped his heart. The fourth prince and the others...have most likely been captured by the intruder!
“Someone, go and check if the fourth prince’s Life Soul Lantern is still on.” He commanded while continuing looking at the mirror.
When he saw Lin Xun heading toward the cliff where the seventh prince Ao Zhentian was held, all the images on the mirror suddenly vanished.
“Huh?”
Ao Tiankun’s eyes narrowed. A possibility dawned on him: the intruder must have set up a restriction array to block the power of the Heavenly Observation Mirror!
It wasn’t until a long while later that Ao Tiankun saw that the cliff where the seventh prince had been imprisoned was now completely empty. Not only had the seventh prince vanished, but even the intruder’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
“He deserves to die.” A terrifying glint flashed in Ao Tiankun’s eyes, “He clearly came prepared, otherwise, there’s no way he could have evaded the detection of the Heavenly Observation Mirror!
“Battle Emperor Hunxue, do you know that person’s identity?” He turned to look at Battle Emperor Hunxue.
Battle Emperor Hunxue answered, “The fourth prince only said that the intruder came with the token of Lord Sea Conqueror Dragon Emperor and his identity is very suspicious. I don’t know anything else.”
“Hmph! Utter trash!” Ao Tiankun snorted coldly, his beard bristling with fury.
Battle Emperor Hunxue also roared in his heart, “When the fate of our nine imperial clans changes, let’s see if your True Dragon Lineage can continue to rule the world!”
“The fourth and seventh princes have both disappeared... It seems like this intruder is plotting something huge...” Ao Tiankun took a deep breath and issued an order, “Inform everyone in the Dragon Palace about this intruder. No matter where you see him, report it immediately!”
“Yes!”
Immediately, numerous attendants and guards sprang into action.
Meanwhile, Ao Tiankun took out a shell-shaped treasure and spoke to it, “Elders, an intruder has infiltrated the Dragon Palace...”
He relayed everything he had found out, and finally, he pressed down with his fingers. With a loud bang, the shell treasure exploded, unleashing a burst of dazzling light that shot out in all directions.
This was the Message Shell, a magical treasure that allowed its holders to immediately hear the transmission of sound or messages.
“Throughout history, only Lu Boya has ever broken into the Dragon Palace and survived. This time, I want to see just how capable you are...don’t disappoint me!”
