The Prodigies War

Lu Xian had betrayed and was currently acting under Sword Demon Daoyuan’s orders, showing his submission to Region Lord Heikong!

This news was like a bolt out of a clear sky, triggering a massive quake in the territory under Region Lord Xuening.

“Lu Xian is a supreme quasi-Emperor, how could he choose to betray?” Countless people were in disbelief with their mouths agape and eyes wide open.

“It’s real! Some people saw with their own eyes Lu Xian suddenly kill several generals under Region Lord Xuening's command.”

“Sword Demon Daoyuan is too terrifying. How did he get Lu Xian to defect?”

“A great chaos is bound to be unavoidable.”

Everyone in the territory of Region Lord Xuening was on edge.

It had all happened in a short time, starting from the betrayal of the fifty-four city lords that had caused an uproar.

Who would have thought that after only a few days later, even Lu Xian, one of Region Lord Xuening's right-hand men, would also become a traitor. This was just frightening.

An utterly enraged Region Lord Xuening let out a roar that shook the sky, “Heikong, you son of a b*tch! You and I cannot exist together!”

On this day, the furious Region Lord Xuening mobilized all of his forces and murderously headed toward the territory of Region Lord Heikong.

……

On Tianwu Mountain.

“What? Even Lu Xian betrayed him?” When receiving the news, Evil Emperor Heikong was stunned and had some difficulty believing it.

Lu Xian was a supreme quasi-Emperor and, more importantly, the most trusted warrior of Region Lord Xuening. His betrayal could definitely make Region Lord Xuening go berserk!

“Is Sword Demon Daoyuan really that capable?” Evil Emperor Heikong's expression flickered dimly. Originally, he should have been extremely happy, but he just couldn't feel so at all.

The series of recent events had happened too suddenly and unreasonably, leaving him in a very passive state.

“My liege, this war is already inevitable…” Lie Guang appeared outside the grand hall and said in a serious voice, “A report has just arrived that Supreme Quasi-Emperor Mu Qingyang under Region Lord Xuening has already made her way into our territory with a group of powerful experts.”

Region Lord Heikong's pupils froze, and then he fiercely clenched his jaw. “Transmit my order: mobilize all available forces and declare war on old man Xuening!”

“Yes!” Lie Guang took the order and left.

……

“Region Lord Xuening and Region Lord Heikong are at war. An all-out bloodbath has been unveiled between their armies!”

This news swept through the entire Frosty Air Region like a typhoon, immediately startling all the others among the ten great regional lords.

An all-out war breaking out between two great regional lords was definitely an earth-shaking event!

This was rare even in the Ancient Nebula Underworld, so it was hard not to draw any attention.

“Have the two of them gone crazy?”

“Going to a full-scale war for the sake of territory without any regard for the consequences? They are muddle-headed!”

“When the sandpiper and clam war together, and the fisherman catches both. Aren't they worried that the other lords will reap benefits from this?”

Endless discussions and clamor resounded across the vast land of Frosty Air Region. Even the forces of the other regional lords were also paying close attention to this conflict.

“They’re finally clashing!” Ji Leng's breathing became rapid and heavy as he couldn’t hide his excitement.

He and Lin Xun had arrived at a city called Silver Light and were currently drinking wine in a restaurant.

As a result of the war between two great forces under Region Lord Xuening and Region Lord Heikong, frontline places such as Vibrant Mulberry City had been reduced to hardest-hit areas. There, the flames of battle raged and bloody killing could be seen everywhere.

Places like Silverlight City, although extremely distant from the battlefield, were still in a state of panic as well. Many cultivators had long fled, fearing that they’d be caught in the fire of war should they stay too long.

Lin Xun was calmly drinking his wine.

Seeing him like this, Ji Leng's heart suddenly welled up with an indescribable emotion. Who could imagine that this war that could shake Frosty Air Region was actually planned by this young man in front of him?

When he recalled the experience and actions done when following Lin Xun around several days ago, Ji Leng felt like he was in a dream.

It was all too surreal!

Lin Xun suddenly said, “Ji Leng, I'm going to leave for a while tomorrow.”

Ji Leng was stunned. “Where to?”

Lin Xun casually replied, “To continue to fan the flames.”

Ji Leng froze. Region Lord Heikong and Region Lord Xuening had already clashed. Wasn't such a commotion enough yet?

Lin Xun said, “Remember what I told you? As long as your guts are big enough, becoming a regional lord in the future is nothing hard.”

Ji Leng smiled bitterly. He was only a supreme Big Saint. Even if he became the lord of a region, he would be in constant danger of being overthrown and killed.

The Underworld never lacked ruthless characters!

Lin Xun seemed to read Ji Leng's mind with a glance. His gaze was ghostly as he said, “What if I get everyone who I’ve subdued to follow your orders? For example, with Lu Xian around, normal cultivators under the Emperor Stage won’t be able to kill you.”

Ji Leng only felt an explosion inside his mind. The moment he was able to react, he asked tremblingly, “Senior, are you saying that you will put those under Nightmare Dread in my charge?”

If that was possible, then becoming the lord of a region…indeed no longer seemed to be a difficult task!

Lin Xun nodded. Ji Leng was smart and capable. His only flaw was his inadequate combat strength. But if there were a bunch of powerful experts at his beck and call, then it would be a completely different story.

Ji Leng couldn't help but ask, “But what about…Emperor opponents?”

Lin Xun laughed as he could see that Ji Leng hadn't gotten carried away.

He provided the latter some food for thought, “In the case that there are Emperors who want to beef with you, we have Region Lord Heikong who will help out with that. Just like right now, isn't he fighting Region Lord Xuening?”

Ji Leng gasped in a daze, “I…seem to get it a little…”

An unprecedented ambition erupted like a volcano in him. Ji Leng's blood was close to boiling as he imagined the bright future ahead.

“In the next few days, Lu Xian will follow you around, carry out your orders, and ensure your safety,” said Lin Xun, who then got up and vanished from the restaurant.

At the same time, Ji Leng noticed that Lu Xian, who looked like a gentleman dressed in his silver-colored robe, had appeared at some point and was staring at him.

Ji Leng inexplicably panicked.

Lu Xian lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice, “I’m under your command.”

Ji Leng's expression altered for a moment. Then, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes. “Lu Xian, from this moment on, you will be at my side and protect me!”

“Yes,” Lu Xian agreed without thinking.

It was only at this moment that Ji Leng deeply realized how terrifying Nightmare Dread was!

……

Vibrant Mulberry City, which was adjacent to the territories of two great regional lords, had long been destroyed in battle. Everywhere were ruins and marks of destruction.

Under the sky seven thousand miles away from Vibrant Mulberry City,

Kaboom!

Heaven and earth were in disarray, and terrains had been wiped out. Only boundless, terrifying lights swept across the area, making it seem as if this place was going through an apocalypse.

This was the battlefield of Region Lord Xuening and Region Lord Heikong.

“Old bastard Heikong, this time, I shall kill you even if it costs me my life!” roared Region Lord Xuening thunderously. Radiating monstrous blood qi, he was ferociously charging forward with a huge axe that was wrapped in lightning arcs.

He was obviously injured, but it didn’t stop him from being unreasonably powerful in combat. His every movement diffused rolling Emperor Law Power that crushed the void around.

“Old bear, if I say that none of this was directed by me, would you believe it?” Region Lord Heikong's face was unsightly.

At this point, he was also injured and worn out. What he found most troubling was that Region Lord Xuening was clearly fighting with his life on the line, which put immense pressure on him.

At the thought that this war was the result of another’s manipulation, and he himself was only passively involved, Region Lord Heikong was full of irritation and frustration.

Region Lord Xuening roared, his eyes red with anger, ''F*ck you, Heikong. It's already come to this, and you still don't admit it? Do you take me for an idiot?”

Boom!

He ruthlessly slashed his axe at Region Lord Heikong. The force shook the latter to the point that his energy and blood tumbled, which infuriated him.

“Old bear, do you really think I’m scared of you?”

“Only scared? I want you dead, old scumbag!”

For a while, the two Emperors fought like mad, and the heat got to their heads.

Before long, Region Lord Heikong gained many more injuries. Region Lord Xuening wasn't doing well either, but he didn’t care at all as he had already bet his life on it.

Region Lord Heikong was anxious. He didn't want to end up in mutual destruction with the other party because then there would be nothing to gain.

“Stop!” he bellowed, his eyes almost bursting out. “I highly suspect that this is a conspiracy by Sword Demon Daoyuan; the purpose is to make you and I fight to the death!”

“Conspiracy? You still won't admit it now?” Region Lord Xuening stamped with fury, his strikes becoming more and more frantic.

Region Lord Heikong felt indescribably stifled, exasperated, and wrathful. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, “I admit, okay? Can you stop now?”

Region Lord Xuening hissed, “You admitted, yet still want me to stop? Old Heikong, you are too much!”

Rumble!

The fight became more and more intense as Region Lord Xuening had completely thrown all care out the window. He wielded his huge axe with the momentum to split the sky and cut across the eight lands.

When Lin Xun, who had just arrived not long ago, saw such a scene from afar, a strange look surfaced in his eyes.

Region Lord Heikong probably…loathes me to death now.

Lin Xun transmitted, “Yezi, this is your cue.”

Clank!

The bronze sword box on Lin Xun’s back produced a loud noise. From it, a leaf that was like a radiant ray of light swiftly flew out and disappeared.

The next second, Region Lord Xuening, who was raging like a madman, suddenly stiffened, causing his attack to stagnate.

Clang!

At the same time, a sword qi blocked the halberd wielded by Region Lord Heikong, and the impact forced him to stagger back.

“Who?” Region Lord Heikong's face suddenly changed.

Then, he saw Region Lord Xuening's stout, mountain-like figure fall straight down from the air and plunge headfirst into the ground, kicking up a cloud of rubble and dust.

“What the…” A chill ran through Region Lord Heikong's heart, and he turned to flee.

It was also at this moment that an indifferent voice rang out, “Your subordinate, Daoyuan, has come to pay respects to Lord Heikong.”

The single sentence echoed through the turbulent land, causing Region Lord Heikong to freeze on the spot. His face instantly darkened and took on the color of a crow.
