The Prodigies War
Chapter 3024 Attack
The man squatting on the ground was named Ji Xiaohua, an Immortal at the Nirvana Spirit Stage. He and Ji Molei were brothers. In terms of seniority, he was Xi's cousin.
Failing to open the door and being knocked to the ground by the shock was already embarrassing for him, but upon hearing Lin Xun's undisguised sarcasm, he became enraged. He pointed at Lin Xun and shouted sharply, "Lin Xun, this is the Ji Clan. Even if I don't reveal your presence, do you think you can leave alive?"
Then, he looked at Ji Wangtu. "Clan Leader, if you save this person, it won't just be a matter of stripping you of your clan leadership; you'll be considered a traitor. At that time, you and your two daughters will be executed, becoming eternal sinners of the clan, their names etched in our memories even in death!"
These words were extremely blunt, causing Ji Wangtu's expression to change slightly.
"You talk too much," Lin Xun said coldly, his dark eyes pressing down with a palm strike from afar.
Bang! Ji Xiaohua was forced to his knees by the suppression, his entire aura collapsing. In the process of being suppressed, his cultivation was completely destroyed. This stunned everyone present; they couldn't believe it.
Ji Wangtu felt a chill run down his spine. What to do? Should he consider Lin Xun his enemy, or...?
He couldn't help but look at his daughter Xi. Xi seemed to understand Ji Wangtu's inner turmoil and struggle. She took a deep breath and said, "Father, what's done is done, and there's no going back. Let's just leave the clan with Lin Xun!"
"Leave... Where can we go in this Ninth Heaven Domain? Not only will the elders of the clan not let us off, but the Taihao Clan will also certainly not let this go..." Ji Wangtu sighed deeply, his expression desolate.
He had wielded power within the Ji Clan for many years and was known for his decisive and ruthless nature. However, today's events were completely beyond his control; any choice he made would come at a severe price. It was a situation where one move could have far-reaching consequences.
“We’ll go to the Origin Sect,” Xi said directly.
At this moment, she had regained her former domineering presence, her beautiful eyes clear and calm. “Once we reach the Origin Sect, neither our clan nor the Taihao Clan will be able to stop us!” 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
“Ridiculous! Don’t forget, you are the fiancée of Taihao Zhi, the young clan head of the Taihao Clan. The entire clan will never allow you to leave!” Ji Molei, kneeling on the ground, retorted sharply, “You escaped once with your father’s help. How could the clan allow such a thing to happen a second time?”
These words sank the hearts of Ji Wangtu, Xi, and Ji Shanhai. This was the Ji Clan’s ancestral sacred mountain, shrouded in their Divine Rank law, with the clan’s eyes everywhere. Trying to leave without permission was virtually hopeless!
“Lin Xun, you...you really have a way to get us out of here?” Xi looked at Lin Xun.
Lin Xun nodded. “Of course, but before we leave, I need to avenge you.”
His answer was undoubtedly forceful. Xi was taken aback, feeling both touched and amused. How could this kid still be thinking about avenging her? Didn’t he realize how serious the situation had become?
Ji Wangtu frowned as well, saying, “How can I trust you?”
Lin Xun sighed helplessly, then thought for a moment, and an idea struck him! With a flick of his sleeve, a figure rolled to the ground with a thud. “You all should recognize who this is, right?”
It was a handsome middle-aged man, but now he was in a sorry state, his cultivation completely suppressed, and he was unconscious. Upon seeing him, many voices cried out in disbelief.
"Ancestor Dongya!"
"How...how is this possible?"
Everyone present was shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. Ji Dongya! He was an advanced Law Transcendence Realm expert and one of the Eternal elders of their Ji Clan. His seniority was terrifyingly high within the clan, yet now he was in a pitiful state of being a prisoner!
"This old fellow tried to run rampant in the Origin World back then, but I subdued him." Lin Xun looked at Xi and casually said, "The reason I didn't kill him was because I wasn't sure about his relationship with you, Senior."
Xi was taken aback, a warm feeling welling up inside her.
Ji Wangtu then said, "If we use Ancestor Dongya as a hostage, we might have a chance to leave the clan, but that would be tantamount to a complete break with the clan..."
Lin Xun understood Ji Wangtu's feelings. At least for now, Ji Wangtu was still the leader of the Ji Clan. He had too many things to consider, and his concerns had become numerous. Lin Xun knew even better that continuing like this would undoubtedly waste too much time.
Thinking of this, he said directly, "Everyone, I'm not thinking of using Ji Dongya as a hostage; there's simply no need for me to do so."
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a divine mountain the size of a fist appeared. "Do any of you recognize this mountain?"
At this point, Lin Xun could only offer something else to prove himself. Ji Wangtu's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Vast Sun Sacred Mountain!?"
The others were also astonished. This was the blessed land occupied by the Eternal Divine Yang Clan. How could it...have fallen into Lin Xun's hands?
"That's right, it is Vast Sun Scared Mountain." Lin Xun nodded.
"You... What have you done to the Yang Clan?"
Ji Wangtu's breathing became rapid. It was no wonder he couldn't remain calm; Vast Sun Sacred Mountain falling into Lin Xun's hands inevitably brought him to wonder about what had happened to the Eternal Divine Yang Clan.
The others were equally astonished and began to tremble, having roughly guessed what was happening, yet finding it utterly unbelievable.
Lin Xun casually said, "The Yang Clan considered me an enemy and was completely eradicated three months ago. That is to say, while there might still be remnants of the Yang Clan in the universe, the Eternal Divine Yang Clan as you all know it no longer exists."
Everyone was struck dumb, their minds reeling. The Eternal Divine Yang Clan had been destroyed?! Even the Ji Clan members kneeling on the ground were stunned, frozen in place.
After a long while, Xi finally couldn't help but ask, "You...did it all by yourself?"
Lin Xun nodded, revealing a wry smile. "Senior, I've already said that the Eternal Divine Clans pose little threat to me anymore, but you don't seem to truly believe me. Therefore, I can only offer some facts to prove it."
Xi’s clear and beautiful eyes narrowed subtly.
"To be honest," she said, "even now, I can't believe you've completely eradicated the Eternal Divine Yang Clan. It's too shocking. Not only me, but anyone in the Ninth Heaven Domain would also find it hard to believe. After all, they were an Eternal Divine Clan; how could they be so easily destroyed?"
Her explanation resonated deeply with everyone present. Indeed, the Eternal Divine Clans had existed since time immemorial, never having been shaken. Who would believe such a behemoth could collapse so suddenly?
Lin Xun felt a wave of weariness wash over him. Just as he was pondering how to further prove his point, Xi then smiled and said, "However, I believe you are the one person who could do it."
Her starry eyes shone brightly, filled with wonder and shock. No wonder this kid's become increasingly domineering; it turns out...he's fearless because he has full confidence in himself!
"That's enough." Lin Xun laughed as well.
Ji Wangtu, as if waking from a dream, let out a long breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Lin Xun," he said, "allow me to ask one more time, what exactly do you intend to do here at the Ji Clan?"
Lin Xun answered bluntly, "If it weren't for Senior Xi and Miss Shanhai, the Ji Clan would have been wiped out like the Yang Clan. Now I only have two things to do: first, to avenge Senior Xi, and second, to take her and Miss Shanhai away."
He paused, then looked at Ji Wangtu and said, "Of course, if Senior and other close clansmen wish to leave together, I won't leave anyone behind!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wangtu's heart churned. After a long while, he said, "Fine, do as you please."
The expressions of the others around Ji Wangtu remained one of shock. The truth Lin Xun revealed was far too unexpected for them; how could they possibly accept it in such a short time?
Ji Shanhai's beautiful eyes sparkled with joy as she exclaimed, "Brother Lin, I never knew you'd become so powerful! Now we can all leave without any issue!"
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Ji Molei, kneeling on the ground, screamed hoarsely, as if in utter collapse. Who could believe that Lin Xun alone possessed the ability to overthrow an entire Eternal Divine Clan?
Lin Xun didn't bother explaining anything to such a scoundrel. He reached out and grabbed, and Ji Molei's body turned to ashes, his primordial spirit extracted.
Boom! Lin Xun's divine sense swept out like a storm, beginning the soul search. Seeing his domineering actions, no one present tried to stop him. On the contrary, Xi and Shanhai felt immense satisfaction. Ji Molei was undoubtedly one of the clansmen that they hated the most.
A moment later, Lin Xun had fully grasped what he wanted. For example, he now knew exactly who in the Ji Clan hated Xi and Ji Shanhai. There were actually quite a few in the room alone, like Ji Xiaohua, Ji Qiao, and some others.
With a loud bang, Ji Molei's primordial spirit was crushed like a bubble, and Lin Xun's gaze fell upon some of the Ji Clan members present.
Someone cried out in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?"
Lin Xun showed no mercy, flicking his fingers in rapid succession.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! One sword qi after another shot out, instantly killing these Ji Clan members who had belonged to the opposing camp. Each one had been utterly annihilated, body and soul. Ji Wangtu's expression flickered uncertainly, his face incredibly complex, yet he did not stop it.
The surviving Ji Clan members were all terrified. Once Lin Xun unleashed his revenge, he showed no mercy, killing as easily as if he was harvesting weeds. The more casually he acted, the more ruthless he appeared. Soon, only Xi, Shanhai, Ji Wangtu, and fewer than ten other members remained in the boudoir.
People like Ji Xiaohua, Ji Molei, and Ji Qiao had all been killed on the spot. Of course, Ji Dongya, an Eternal, was still alive, but Lin Xun had taken him back as a prisoner, intending to refine him later using the power of the Five Principle Laws of the Return Dominion.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xun looked at Xi and said, "Senior, why don't you stay here for a while? I'll handle the rest, what do you say?"
He worried that Xi, Shanhai, and Ji Wangtu might feel uncomfortable or reluctant to kill those old guys from the Ji Clan. Thus, it was better for him to attack alone. After all, all twelve Eternal Divine Clans considered Lin Xun a thorn in their side, and the Ji Clan was no exception. If it weren't for Xi, he would have already gone on a killing spree for revenge!
