It was Zhao Tailai.

He approached with a wide smile and gave Lin Xun a warm hug before he said, “I’ve already heard all about it. You’ve performed spectacularly in the Blood Kill Battlefield. Lone Man of Rotating Stars Hibernating Moon House has said that your debt has been cleared.”

Lin Xun rolled his eyes. “I thought you were here to welcome me back. I can’t believe that you were only thinking about the debt.”

Zhao Tailai heartily chuckled as he placed an arm around Lin Xun and began leading him away. “Come, let’s leave this crappy place first. Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave soon.”

Lin Xun puzzledly asked, “Why?”

Zhao Tailai casually replied, “It’s your fault for shaking up the Blood Kill Battlefield so much. Now all of those old guys from the military have their eyes on you and want to recruit you into the military.”.

Lin Xun immediately quickened his pace. He had just returned from the battlefield and hadn’t even returned home yet, why the heck would he have any interest in joining the military?

Not long after Lin Xun and Zhao Tailai left, a roar rumbled across the camp, “Damnit, why can’t I find Lin Twelve? Where’s Lin Twelve?”

“Old Ding, why the hell are you yelling? Even if you find Lin Twelve, there’s no way he’ll just go along with you. A good sapling like him will only thrive in a place like my Black Dragon Army.”

“Your granny’s arse! Your Black Dragon Army is dogshit while my Blood Wolf Army is the true elite among the elites of the empire. If Lin Twelve has to go somewhere, he’ll have to go to my Blood Wolf Army!”

“Alright alright, stop bickering. Isn’t it pointless to argue before my Rose Corps has its say?”

Heated arguments began to flood the entire camp as the originally stern and dignified generals quarreled until their necks and faces turned red.

The soldiers were shocked. Weren’t they supposed to welcome the soldiers back from the Blood Kill Battlefield and even host a celebration banquet later? Why had the generals begun to squabble over someone called Lin Twelve instead?

Was there something special they didn’t know about him?

Lin Xun’s amazing accomplishments in the Blood Kill Battlefield were soon revealed, astonishing everyone as a huge commotion ensued.

It was no wonder that the generals were bickering without regard. It turned out that he was a heaven-defying talent!

If Lin Xun were to witness this, he would inwardly rejoice that he had left with Zhao Tailai earlier. Otherwise, he would probably be unable to take a single step out of the camp without first agreeing to join one of these generals.

Suddenly, an old general with white hair and a white beard asked, “Oh, that’s right. Who is Lin Twelve? Why have I never heard of him before he went to the Blood Kill Battlefield?”

The generals stopped arguing and looked at each other.

A long while passed before a fearsome-looking middle-aged general finally said, “Half a year ago, Zhao Tailai was the one who sent him into the Blood Kill Battlefield. If I’m not wrong, he…should be Lin Xun!”

“Lin Xun? Could he be…”

“Right, he’s the Mind Cleansing Peak Lin Clan Leader, Lin Xun.”

“So it’s him!”

Everyone was stunned by the revelation. The soldiers’ hearts began to tremble as they recalled how Lin Xun was already a famous figure in the Forbidden City half a year ago.

It was alarming to think that he had also achieved so many brilliant feats in the Blood Kill Battlefield.

“What a peerless young master. Heh, I used to disagree with the saying that the younger generation will eventually surpass the older generation, but I have no choice but to acknowledge it now!”

The old white-haired general sighed as the others voiced their agreement.

Previously, Lin Xun had only been famous in the Forbidden City, and his reputation was limited to the empire’s territories.

However, after his stint in the Blood Kill Battlefield, even the Brute Tribes would tremble at his name!

……

On their way back to the Forbidden City, there was a rare trace of gloominess between Zhao Tailai’s brows as he softly sighed and said, “I originally wanted to accompany you for a drinking session, but there’s an urgent matter I have to inform you about.”

Lin Xun asked, “What is it?”

The two of them were in a ship that was flying across the sky.

“Several days ago, an elder of the Omega Sword Sect arrived in the empire with a group of disciples!”

These words immediately caused Lin Xun’s eyes to narrow.

Omega Sword Sect!

It was a name that was far too familiar to Lin Xun because his arch-enemy, Yun Qingbai, who had killed all of the main Lin Clan members years ago was from the Omega Sword Sect.

In fact, one of Lin Xun’s biggest motivations for heading to the Ancient Wasteland Domain was to avenge his parents and kin!

The target of his revenge was Yun Qingbai!

After a brief silence, Lin Xun asked, “Why are they here?”

“On the surface, their goal is quite simple. They’ve come for the banished Ninth Prince and seek to bring him to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.”

Zhao Tailai patiently explained, “You should know that the Ninth Prince’s grandfather is an influential elder in the Omega Sword Sect. After hearing of the Ninth Prince’s unfortunate situation, he naturally won’t sit by and do nothing.”

Lin Xun nodded in understanding.

More than a dozen years ago, it was the Ninth Prince, Zhao Jingzhen, and his mother, Meng Rong, who had divulged to the Omega Sword Sect Successor, Yun Qingbai, that the newly born Lin Xun possessed the ‘Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer’ talent.

Subsequently, in order to pursue the ‘perfect dao’, Yun Qingbai had arrived in the empire alone and attacked the Lin Clan. In a single night, he killed all the main clan members and dug out the Origin Aeth Artery from Lin Xun’s tiny body.

Later on, the emperor was furious when he found out and stripped Meng Rong of her concubine position. However, that was all the emperor could do due to fear of retaliation from the Omega Sword Sect if he took things too far.

In the end, Meng Rong was taken away from the empire by her father, who was an elder of the Omega Sword Sect.

As for the Ninth Prince, he was given the cold shoulder treatment by the emperor until some time ago when he was banished and imprisoned in the palace after clashing with Lin Xun, forbidden from leaving until the end of his life.

Lin Xun had not expected that the Omega Sword Sect would send someone to release the imprisoned Ninth Prince and take him away.

This was evidently the handiwork of the Ninth Prince’s grandfather!

After some thought, Lin Xun asked, “Since that’s their aim on the surface, what else are they secretly trying to do?”

Zhao Tailai glanced at him and said, “It should be related to you.”

“Does Yun Qingbai know that I’m alive?” Lin Xun immediately shivered.

Zhao Tailai nodded. “However, even Yun Qingbai does not dare to act recklessly in the empire. Moreover, he didn’t come this time, so there’s no need for you to worry.”

Lin Xun fell silent.

Yun Qingbai was known to be the number one sword cultivator in the Ancient Wasteland Domain and was said to be invincible under the King stage.

According to the rumors, he was highly intelligent, amazingly talented, decisive, and fearless. He was a person who had never once lost ever since he started his cultivation journey.

Many people crowned him with various titles, even calling him the prized son of the heavens. He was an existence that was feared and worshiped by countless cultivators in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

No matter how deeply Lin Xun wished he could just rush over and face this arch-enemy of his, the cruel reality was that there was only an infinitesimally tiny chance for him to kill Yun Qingbai even with the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow.

What did it mean to be invincible under the King stage?

It meant that even Half-Step King experts were nothing to Yun Qingbai!

This alone showed just how powerful he was.

Moreover, Lin Xun was worried that the current information he had was outdated and Yun Qingbai had probably become far stronger!

“Yun Qingbai didn’t come? Makes sense. He already stole my Origin Aeth Artery all those years ago and has already attained the perfect dao he sought. He naturally wouldn’t care about what small splashes that baby from back then could possibly cause.”

Lin Xun’s expression was impassive and his tone was calm. “Or perhaps he doesn’t even care that I’m still alive.”

However, Zhao Tailai could sense that something was off about Lin Xun and could not help but say, “The dao doesn’t care when you start. There is no need to undervalue yourself given your current capabilities.”

Lin Xun shook his head. “Don’t worry, I’m merely stating the truth. In fact, this is better for me. I hope he ignores me so that I can make his death even more miserable when I eventually take my revenge!”

Zhao Tailai solemnly instructed, “After we return to the Forbidden City, you should stay in Mind Cleansing Peak until I find out what exactly those Omega Sword Sect people are up to. It won’t be too late to plan your next move after we uncover their motives.”

“Alright.” Lin Xun agreed.

That night, Lin Xun arrived in front of Mind Cleansing Peak. As he gazed upon its familiar entrance, his heart became more determined than ever before.

As long as he lived, he would never allow that bloody incident from back then to repeat itself!

Mind Cleansing Peak, inside Mind Cleansing Hall.

Spirit Vulture had gathered the Lin Clan higher-ups, and they were engaging in their routine discussion of the clan affairs.

Lin Zhong, Xiaoke, Lin Huaiyuan, and Third Old Zhu were all present.

Outside the hall, the Scarlet Eagle King was proudly perched on the roof. Its fiery-red feathers seemed to burn with divine flames, making it a majestic sight to behold.

“Cheep cheep~”

A fat round ball suddenly poked out from Xiaoke’s arms. It had round eyes, a round nose, round ears, and a soft round body and was absolutely adorable.

It was Jiujiu.

“What is it, Jiujiu? Are you hungry?” Xiaoke was taken aback, thinking it was hungry.

“Cheep cheep~”

The little creature seemed to sense something and its round ball-like body struggled out from Xiaoke’s embrace.

It seemed to be extremely excited and urgently chirped as it rushed out of the hall.

The group in the discussion hall was stunned. Jiujiu had always been very obedient and would never display such strange behavior.

Everyone could not help but look outside the hall.

It was at this moment that the Scarlet Eagle King’s surprised voice rang out outside the hall, “It’s Master, Master is back!”
