YM778.TV Chapter 1254 Unexpected Visitor
On the ground, several opponents had fallen to the ground, faces filled with despair.
Yue Jianming, a lone-wolf-like sword cultivator, was so strong that the mention of his name sent people trembling. He silently rose to fame and made his name from killing and bloodshed.
Now, he was a famous swordsman in the Upper Nine Realms.
Anyone who made enemies with him was reduced to a pile of bones!
However, to the astonishment and disbelief of his despairing opponents, Yue Jianming suddenly threw his head back, laughed heartily, sheathed his sword, and left.
“I’m in a good mood today, so I will spare you all!”
He disappeared before his voice faded, leaving the group of experts glancing at each other and with fear still lingering in their hearts.
“Unfortunately, in these four years, I have not been able to find any traces of Ancient Buddha Son for you…”
On a steep cliff, Yue Jianming stood tall, gazing at the sea of clouds with a trace of regret weighing on his heart.
……
“If I had known this, I wouldn’t have taken matters into my own hands,” Ye Chen muttered.
His heart was filled with indescribable joy.
Lin Xun was still alive!
……
“Ancient Buddha Son has been hiding for four years. If he knows that you are still alive, he will show up sooner or later.” Xiao Cangtian was grinning ear to ear.
He knew that with Lin Xun’s temper, he would find Ancient Buddha Son to personally settle the score. Even if others wanted to intervene and get involved, he likely would not agree.
……
Mi Hengzhen teased, “Hey, Junior Brother Xiao, why are you back? Are you not going to see Lin Xun?”
Xiao Qinghe rubbed his nose and said with a smile, “It’s enough for me to know that he is still alive. It doesn’t matter whether we meet or not.”
Mi Hengzhen gave him the thumbs up. “Once it’s over, fame and fortune become nothing.”
Xiao Qinghe’s lips twitched with a wry smile, but he could also tell that his senior brother Hengzhen seemed to be in a good mood after learning that Lin Xun was alive.
In the past, he rarely joked with him like that.
……
“Hmph, it’s been four years, time has changed. Even if Lin Xun is alive, he has to live by hiding his tail between his legs!”
Similarly, some people sneered and did not think optimistically about Lin Xun’s situation.
“That boy Lin Xun is like a dragon. Once he emerges, he will stir up a storm. Anyone who has a grudge against him will definitely take action,” someone analyzed.
Demon God Lin earned his reputation through battles and it was well known that he had many enemies.
For example, Underworld Son, Ancient Buddha Son…
“Kongzhe Mountain!”
“Go and spy on Lin Xun’s movements.”
As the news of Lin Xun’s return spread, many forces started to become restless and dispatched forces to investigate.
……
An Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms expert reported in a worried voice, “Senior Sister Ji, Senior Brother Mo, the situation isn’t good. Many experts from different forces have gathered near our Kongzhe Mountain.”
“Just a group of intelligence gatherers, no need to pay attention to them.” Ji Xingyao looked very calm.
She already expected this to happen the moment that Lin Xun chose to stay on Kongzhe Mountain/
“Junior Sister Ji is right. As long as they don\'t provoke us, we should just ignore them. However, everyone should not go out during this period to avoid any accidents,” Mo Tianhe reminded them.
Now, Kongzhe Mountain was under the attention of the entire Mythic Fire Realm. It could be foreseen that this situation would only intensify during the following period!
Mo Tianhe sighed, “This is prestige. Every little movement of his catches the attention of everyone. Invisibly, storms are already brewing!”
“Flattery again?” Ji Xingyao shot a sideways glance at him.
Mo Tianhe fell silent.
……
Kongzhe Mountain was like the eye of a storm, seemingly calm, but a storm was approaching!
On Kongzhe Mountain, although Ji Xingyao and Mo Tianhe were unperturbed by the disturbances, they had to cautiously set up defensive measures.
For example, the disciples were prohibited from going out.
For example, they should be prepared for the coming storm.
As time went by, more and more cultivators were gathered outside Kongzhe Mountain, nervously watching everything.
“Demon God Lin returned and wiped out the experts sent by Underworld. Underworld will definitely fight back!”
“Yes, if they admitted defeat like that, not only would their prestige drop, but Underworld Son would also be seen as a coward afraid of confronting Demon God Lin.”
“Just wait, when the Underworld forces come back even stronger, we will be able to fully know how powerful Lin Xun is.”
Similar discussions happened everywhere.
Demon God Lin was reborn. No one could ignore this fact.
The storm-like atmosphere continued for several days.
But strangely, Lin Xun had never emerged from Kongzhe Mountain and the Underworld force had never come.
This surprised and bewildered many experts.
On Kongzhe Mountain, in the swaying bamboo forest, Lin Xun scooped up stream water in his hand and turned them into crystal clear beads of water.
With one thought, the water drops turned into wisps of water and outlined an irregular but charming array that was full of mysteries.
Buzz!
As soon as the array was completed, it produced a strange wave of energy and started to draw up aeth qi from all directions of the bamboo forest.
More and more aeth qi gathered until they formed streams of liquid aeth qi in the array, flowing downwards like tiny waterfalls.
Suddenly, a loud gasp sounded in the distance.
Mo Tianhe happened to witness the miraculous scene.
He was stunned by the sight.
The abilities of rune masters had always been described as a marvelous and mysterious craft.
However, everyone knew that to set up an array, even rune founders had to rely on array plates, array flags, array talismans and other tools!
But Lin Xun, without extra effort, formed a rune array from a handful of stream water that could absorb aeth qi of the world. How could Mo Tianhe not be flabbergasted by his ability?
He couldn’t help but think of a title——Dao rune master?
The array dissipated and turned back into water and flowed into the stream.
“Brother Lin, are you at the level of dao rune master?” Mo Tianhe couldn’t help asking.
Lin Xun shook his head. “Not quite.”
A true dao rune master could set up a king-level forbidden array with just a raise of their hand, and it would be imbued with mysterious dao law power.
At present, Lin Xun could only set up ordinary runes. He still had a long way to go before he could do the same with king-level forbidden arrays.
However, it was already a good start!
And this was one of the benefits that Lin Xun received from studying the True Interpretation of Dao Runes.
Lin Xun stood up by the stream and asked, “Brother Mo, is there something?”
“Recently, the situation has been rather unusual.”
Mo Tianhe furrowed his brow and told everything about the past few days.
“Do you think Underworld Son is too scared to come?” asked Lin Xun.
Mo Tianhe shook his head. Are you kidding? Nowadays, the Underworld forces are known throughout the Upper Nine Realms. How would Underworld Son not do anything after suffering such a tragic defeat at your hands?
“This suggests that Underworld Son is either concentrating on something more important, or that he is preparing a foolproof way to deal with me,” Lin Xun said casually.
He was completely unafraid of Underworld Son.
He only chose to stay around to let Toady, the big black bird, A’lu, Yue Jianming, Xiao Qinghe and others know about his location.
In the past few days, he gradually learned that Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen and the others were at ease knowing that he was alive.
But Lin Xun found it strange that, until now, there had been no information or news about Toady and the big black bird.
This was what he was most worried about.
“Lin Xun, someone came to the door and requested to see you.”
Ji Xingyao rushed over from a distance, a strange expression on her face.
“Who?”
“Yu Lingkong.”
Ji Xingyao spat out a name.
Lin Xun immediately understood why Ji Xingyao looked so weird.
If he remembered correctly, Yu Lingkong was a peerless figure from the Longevity Land in the South Wonder World and who had admired Ji Xingyao for a long time.
“Why is he here? Does he want to get revenge?” Lin Xun laughed.
This was not because he looked down on Yu Lingkong. However, he had long overtaken Yu Lingkong in the rankings of the Little Giants List.
“I don’t know.” Ji Xingyao pursed her lips.
Of course she knew about Yu Lingkong’s feelings towards her, but unfortunately, she had no interest in him at all.
Speaking of which, it was to avoid Yu Lingkong that, by a twist of fate, she met Lin Xun at the Pine Smoke Martial Arena.
Lin Xun decided after a thought. “Then I’ll go and meet this old friend.”
……
On the edge of Kongzhe Mountain stood Yu Lingkong, dressed in a feathered robe and a jade belt around his waist. The tall hat that crowned his head accentuated his handsome face and beautiful features.
He waited quietly, complex emotions swirling in his heart.
He had no choice but to come!
In the distance, many eyes were watching him. Everyone was a little surprised to see Yu Lingkong jump out before the Underworld forces did.
He…
Did he come to retaliate against Demon God Lin?
In the past, Yu Lingkong was also a rising star of his generation, and he enjoyed an illustrious reputation. Not only was he from a noble background, but he also had outstanding talents.
But now, times had changed. He was still dazzling, but he was slightly inferior to supreme figures such as Yan Zhanqiu, Wang Xuanyu, Ye Mohe and Mi Hengzhen.
Not to mention compared with Demon God Lin.
But unexpectedly, Yu Lingkong came to find Demon God Lin. What did he want to do?
Everyone was baffled.
Someone shouted, “He came out!”
Yu Lingkong raised his head and was greeted by a tall figure walking out of the mountain gate, clad in a moon-white robe with flowy black hair.
That face was so familiar that it made Yu Lingkong’s heart tumble in his chest.
However, when he remembered the purpose of his trip, he steadied his heart again.
“It is indeed Demon God Lin!”
“He really is still alive!”
In the distance, the experts observing in the shadows moved restlessly.
Although various sources had already proven that Lin Xun was still alive, this was the first time they saw him appear with their own eyes!
All eyes gathered on Lin Xun with varying expressions.
Demon God Lin!
For four years, everyone thought that this legendary figure had fallen like a shooting star, but he returned to everyone’s attention in such a strong and unstoppable manner, stepping on the corpses of Underworld cultivators!
