The Prodigies War

The meat cooked very quickly over the fire, glistening with a golden crust on the outside. With the condiments smeared on it, it gave off an irresistible aroma and that hypnotic waft spread across the area. 

Many people secretly swallowed their saliva. Damn, that smells good!

The most enticing piece had to be the pair of barbecue wings that were over ten feet long. Although they had been chopped into several pieces, they were still huge.

Lin Xun, Toady and Alu sat down on the ground, each holding a roasted eagle wing and ravenously tearing the meat off. The juice of the meat trickled down their mouths, and from time to time they downed a large bowl of wine with satisfaction. 

Everyone stared at them, speechless. They were in front of the City of Enlightenment, where heroes from all over the world had gathered to enter the Supreme Realm to vie for supremacy.

However, Demon God Lin and the other two were having a picnic!

“Black dog meat is most delicious when cooked, the Golden King Snake is best when stewed, and the Azure Scaled Sky Eagle is delicious when barbecued,” Lin Xun commented

Toady and A’lu nodded enthusiastically while devouring the food.

Many cultivators gasped. Demon God Lin has such an unusual appetite unlike that of ordinary people. He is even reviewing the delicacies of the world. 

The mounts of many cultivators were fierce beasts and divine birds, and they all felt their hair standing on end at that moment. They told themselves that they must stay away from Demon God Lin!

Following a cough, a tall and slender man strode over to Lin Xun with his hands behind his back. “Lin Xun, the seventh prince asks you to come with me.” His voice might be calm but it was filled with unquestionable authority. 

Many people’s expressions changed strangely. They recognized the man—it was Wu Heng, an expert from the Golden Crow Clan. 

And the seventh prince that he mentioned was now at the gate closest to the City of Enlightenment. His name was Wu Lingfei, a well-known supreme character!

Although he was not an ancient-era eccentric genius, he was of royal blood of the Golden Crow Clan and possessed extraordinary talent and strength. 

“What’s the matter?” Lin Xun asked while chewing the barbecued meat, without even raising his head or glancing at Wu Heng.

Wu Heng’s face darkened, and he repeated in an emphasized tone of voice, “My seventh prince invites you over!”

“I don’t have time,” Lin Xun refused without any hesitation. 

Wu Heng was stunned as if he didn’t expect someone to dismiss him after he brought out the name of the seventh prince. 

But what angered him the most was that, from beginning to end, Lin Xun was sitting on the floor, munching on the barbecue and showing no intention of getting up. 

Wu Heng took a deep breath and decided to give Lin Xun another chance to consider the offer. “Are you sure?”

Toady couldn’t help but roll his eyes and snapped, “You are just an errand boy. We already declined your invitation, so why are you still standing here? Go back and tell the seventh prince that we have no time!”

He did not mince his words. 

An angry frown crossed Wu Heng’s face. Although there were many cultivators present, they all respected the Golden Crow Clan of Sunset Current Valley!

But someone dared to repeatedly decline their invitation in such a nonchalant manner. He couldn’t stand that. 

“Hmph, we gave you a chance but unfortunately you didn’t take it! Then, you better watch out for yourself!” Wu Heng stormed off.

After witnessing that scene, many people couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement. 

He is indeed the renowned Demon God Lin. His courage alone is unparalleled.

That was a messenger sent by the Golden Crow Clan, but he was dismissed like that. 

……

In front of the impressive ancient city wall, the seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan was relaxing freely on a golden throne. 

“When Lin Xun comes later, I will get him to apologize to you to show my sincerity,” Wu Lingfei said leisurely. His hair shone like a golden waterfall as it flowed down him, and his facial features were so sharp that they looked like they had been chiseled. Even if he was leaning back on his chair, he exuded a threatening aura. 

“I don’t mind working with you, but I won’t accept the apology,” Ling Hua stated coldly, her brows all crinkling with anger and hatred at the thought of Lin Xun. 

Wu Lingfei was silent for a moment before he whispered to her, “Miss Ling Hua, everyone knows that Demon God Lin is extraordinarily powerful. We should get on his good side and then make him fight for us with his life. Once we seize the fortunes...then you know…”

Ling Hua stared at him, realizing his real intention of taking advantage of Lin Xun rather than truly wanting to cooperate with him.

She put on a smile and asked, “Fellow cultivator, do you also plan to do the same to me?”

Wu Lingfei laughed, sitting up straight on the throne. His expression suddenly turned solemn. “I can swear on the name of the Golden Crow Clan that I will not do anything to betray you.”

Ling Hua nodded.

At that moment, she caught a whiff of an enticing aroma of meat that made her drool. 

Following the aroma, she looked over, and her face instantly turned livid. She almost crushed her own teeth. That damn Demon God Lin actually barbecued my mount!

Wu Lingfei was also stunned for a moment, then a strange light flickered across his eyes and he comforted, “Miss, don’t get angry, a great plan can be ruined by just a touch of impatience. Once we enter the Supreme Realm, we will have plenty of opportunities to deal with him!”

Ling Hua’s voice was spine-chillingly cold as she said, “I can work with you if you kill that kid with me. I promise you now.”

Wu Lingfei’s eyes flashed as he thought about it carefully. 

At that moment, Wu Heng was hurrying back, “Seventh Prince, that Demon God Lin does not know what is good for him. Not only did he refuse to come, but his attitude was also extremely bad...”

He told the prince everything that happened.

Ling Hua couldn’t help but sneer. She stared at Wu Lingfei, waiting for him to make his decision. 

Wu Lingfei was silent for a moment. He never expected Lin Xun to decline his invitation!

Does he not give face to me?

An almost imperceptible iciness flashed deep in his eyes.

Immediately, a smile touched his lips and he stood up. “Never mind, I will personally invite him over. It is normal and understandable for someone like Demon God Lin to put on airs.”

Still furious about what happened earlier Wu Heng opened his mouth to say something, but Wu Lingfei glanced at him and that was enough to send him trembling and he clamped his mouth shut.  

“Lin Xun, I am Wu Lingfei from the Golden Crow Clan. I have long been looking forward to meeting you, Brother Lin. I’m glad we finally met today. Can you come over for a chat?”

Suddenly, the clear and resounding voice of Wu Lingfei filled the world and caused a commotion among the cultivators.

No one expected that, after Wu Heng was rejected, Wu Lingfei, the seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan, would personally invite Lin Xun again!

“Only Demon God Lin is worthy of such treatment.”

Many cultivators did not know about the situation and simply thought that Wu Lingfei had high regards for Lin Xun and couldn’t help but feel a little envious. 

“He has to be up to something if he is inviting you over for no reason. You should be wary. There is no good person in the Golden Crow Clan even among the old and the young,” Toady reminded. 

Lin Xun nodded. 

“Fellow Cultivator Wu, if you have advice for me then you can just tell me.” Lin Xun spoke aloud, projecting his voice far away.

Immediately, the faces of everyone in the Golden Crow Clan turned much colder. Their seventh prince had already personally sent that guy an invitation, but he still stubbornly refused to go over there. 

Wu Lingfei was also taken aback by Lin Xun’s response. He sent another message from afar. “It’s not quite advice. I just want to ask Brother Lin to come over to resolve a misunderstanding with Miss Ling Hua. After all, when the Holy Worship Altar comes, we will all have to enter the same area, so I thought it is better to have another friend than an enemy.” His voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. 

Many cultivators secretly sighed. The seventh prince of the Golden Crow Clan is a peerless evildoer, but it is hard not to fall for his grace and good manners. 

However, Lin Xun smiled. “Resolve the misunderstanding? Okay, tell her to apologize to us three, otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything.”

Ling Hua was already holding back her anger, but she exploded with rage when she heard those words, “Do you want me to apologize? Keep dreaming!”

Wu Lingfei’s expression also turned cold. “Brother Lin, it is better to make friends than enemies. If you take a step back then maybe we can all become friends and fight for the fortunes together in the Supreme Realm. But if you insist on going your way, I’m afraid that we can’t be friends.” His voice was foreboding as he reached the end of his sentence. 

Some cultivators trembled, realizing that Wu Lingfei not only had a gentle side, but also a terrifying temper.

If they could not be friends that meant they were enemies!

This was something that everyone knew. Wu Lingfei’s words were akin to him giving an ultimatum to Lin Xun—Be his friend or his enemy. There was no other choice. 

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. 

Many forces looked on with cold indifference, such as the people from the Thousand Beast Spirit Mountain. 

However, Lin Xun replied without even thinking about it, “Sorry, I don’t just make friends with anyone.”

If Wu Lingfei had spoken to him nicely, then he would have shown some respect to him, but Wu Lingfei‘s voice and words were full of hidden meanings and threats, which irritated him.

Everyone gasped to themselves. What did Lin Xun mean by that? Is he mocking Wu Lingfei for making friends with anyone?

Sure enough, many people noticed Wu Lingfei’s expression growing colder. Although he showed no visible sign of anger, Lin Xun likely had already ignited his killing intent.

“What the hell is he playing? Does he want to be a peacemaker? Is he qualified?” Toady muttered.

Lin Xun was in deep thought. Wu Lingfei is clearly recruiting people to join forces with him after entering the Supreme Realm.

It seems like Ling Hua from the Mysterious Metropolis Sect has already agreed to work with him. 

So, what did Wu Lingfei promise her, an ancient-era eccentric genius, that would make her willingly cooperate with him?

Meanwhile, Ling Hua calmly sent a voice transmission, “Fellow Cultivator Wu, have you made a decision?”

Wu Lingfei's countenance remained unchanged, showing not a hint of anger. He smiled slightly and said, “Then I hope our cooperation will be a pleasant one!”

Ling Hua’s eyes brightened. 

She knew that Wu Lingfei only wanted to work with her for purely selfish reasons, but it didn’t matter because she also only agreed because she planned to take advantage of his strength. 

They were both using each other. She knew this well.

Dong!

Suddenly, the whole world quaked with low-pitched rumbles. Everything in the entire universe seemed to be rocking. 

All the cultivators present jolted sharply and staggered, inwardly apprehensive.

It was like an unprecedented earthquake!

At the same time, similar rolling motions were happening across the four worlds of the Ancient Wasteland Domain…
