The Prodigies War-Chapter 2365 Now Returned, More Magnificent Than Ever

Before Lin Xun’s words had even faded, Chi Lingxiao and the other high-ranking members of the Chi Clan had already acted, unleashing their full power in an instant. Terrifying aura erupted like a tidal wave.

The entire hall trembled and collapsed into ruin.

In the face of such an onslaught, Lin Xun lifted his sleeve lightly.

Boom!

A wave of dao light surged forth, swallowing the oncoming force. In the blink of an eye, Chi Lingxiao and the other eight high-ranking Chi Clan members were reduced to ashes.

Lin Xun didn’t even spare them a glance. He turned around and descended the mountain.

To him, quasi-Emperors were no longer worth his attention. Even if his cultivation was now suppressed to the first realm Emperor Stage, slaying Chi Lingxiao and the others was no different from crushing ants.

From the foot of Crested Jade Peak, one could clearly see a crimson trail stretching all the way to the submit.

That was the path Lin Xun walked, each step he took left behind death and carnage.

Chi Cangmei witnessed it all. She watched as the Chi Clan’s main hall on the mountaintop blasted into rubble. And in that moment, the last sliver of hope in her heart shattered. Her eyes lost all light and her spirit crumbled into despair.

In the distance, more and more cultivators gathered to watch, and when they saw the scene before them, they were all stunned into silence.

For years, ever since the major factions of the Ancient Wasteland Domain had agreed to enforce an iron rule within the Forbidden City—no bloodshed was allowed, very few had dared to break that law. Witnessing such violence had become almost unimaginable.

Yet now, one of the high clans, the Chi Clan of Crested Jade Peak had been utterly wiped out!

Who could possibly defy that rule and massacre their way through such a powerful and influential clan?

Just then, a tall and solitary figure emerged from the mountain gate of Jade Crested Mountain. It was Lin Xun.

The crowd fell into a deathly silence. Not a single whisper could be heard.

Clad in a pristine robe, calm and composed, he looked nothing like a man who had just carried out the massacre of the Chi Clan.

But among the onlookers, some of the older cultivators began to tremble and their expressions shifted, as if they remembered him.

“Did you see clearly?” At this moment, Lin Xun walked over to Chi Cangmei and asked indifferently.

Chi Cangmei, who stood dazed and hollow-eyed, suddenly screamed hysterically as though struck by an unbearable shock, “You...you killed everyone in my Chi Clan?”

Lin Xun nodded.

She staggered and her voice turned hoarse with madness. “But most of them were innocent! You’re a demon!”

Lin Xun remained unmoved, his tone as calm and cold as ever, “You made me understand something. If you don’t pull up the roots, the weeds will grow back and endless troubles will follow.”

Shi Yu was also innocent, yet he suffered years of torment and humiliation simply for being Lin Xun’s friend.

Qinglu Academy, Rune Master Association, and Golden Jade Hall were all crushed just for being connected to the Lin Clan!

As for the members of the Lin Clan of Mind Cleansing Peak, to this day, their fates remained unknown.

Those brutal truths made Lin Xun thoroughly understand that he had been too merciful.

When dealing with enemies, one must eradicate them completely to prevent future calamities!

Even if he was called a demon, a butcher, it didn’t matter. As long as his family and friends never have to suffer again. That was enough for him.

“Cutting the weeds at their roots.” Chi Cangmei collapsed to the ground, weeping silently, her heart shattered.

At that moment, it was as if she had aged countless years. Her cultivation faded without a sound.

Lin Xun could tell that her dao heart had shattered and her cultivation was as good as crippled.

“Is it cruel? This is the price you and your Chi Clan should pay.” Lin Xun uttered, turning away.

Without cultivation, Chi Cangmei’s path had come to an end.

Lin Xun felt no sympathy for her.

As Lin Xun vanished into the distance, a sudden cry rang out from the stunned crowd.

“It’s him! It has to be him!

“After so many years, he’s returned. The one whose name once shook the capital.

“The Lord of Mind Cleansing Peak has always been clear in gratitude and grudges. He is known for his lethal decisiveness. Now that he’s returned, this Forbidden City is destined to be swept by storms!”

In an instant. The crowd erupted. The older generation stood in awe, their blood surging and long-buried memories flashed across their minds.

The younger cultivators gradually realized Lin Xun’s identity and were struck speechless. The legend who had faded into obscurity over the years had returned today and wiped the Chi Clan from existence in a single day!

Everyone realized that Lin Xun’s return was bound to set off storms across the Forbidden City!

While Lin Xun’s true body was massacring the Chi Clan.

At Clear Frost Peak, where the Hua Clan, one of the high clans, had been rooted for generations, Lin Xun’s Green Wood Dao Body had also started a massacre.

Clad in green robes, hands calmly behind its back, the dao body walked up the winding mountain path. Its steps were unhurried, but to the cultivators of the Hua Clan, it was like an ancient god descending.

Each footstep shook the earth, crumbing boulders and incinerating the land beneath.

“Kill!”

Countless cultivators rushed in like a wave, weapons gleaming, dao light blazing.

A green sword qi shot out from the dao body’s finger like a gust of wind and all cultivators were slain on the spot.

It was as though the dao body was harvesting grass from a field!

And that was only the beginning.

Three finger snaps later, the dao body swatted away Saint-level experts like flies, crushing them into blood and bone.

Five finger snaps later.

It pierced the forehead of an imposing and extraordinary quasi-Emperor being with a single finger.

Every step it took, another enemy collapsed. No one could resist and no one survived. Its advance was like a blade splitting bamboo.

Behind him, a river of blood formed, snaking down the mountain path. The mist of blood thickened and coiled into the sky.

Panicked screams and furious roars echoed endlessly through the skies above the Hua Clan.

On the mountain summit.

Hua Liuhong, the clan leader of the Hua Clan, and other high-ranking members trembled as they watched in horror.

It had only been a short while since Lin Xun appeared, but he had already reached the core of their stronghold.

All their restriction forces, treasured weapons and defenses had been proven utterly useless!

He advanced like an unstoppable force!

The trail of slaughter made Hua Liuhong and the others shudder in fear, their hearts aching as if being torn apart.

Those slain were all of the Hua bloodline!

At this moment, Lin Xun’s figure was approaching the mountain summit.

“Lin Xun, can you give our Hua Clan a chance to make amends? You’ve already rescued those you came for, why continue the bloodshed? Will you only be satisfied once you’ve wiped out our entire clan?”

Hua Liuhong shouted loudly, forcing himself to remain calm.

“This time, there is no forgiveness.” Lin Xun said indifferently, “Even if the backer you’ve been waiting for, Mysterious Metropolis Sect, shows up, it won’t change the fate of the Hua Clan.”

“You—” Hua Liuhong’s eyes widened in rage, his face contorted, muscles twitching with fury. “If that’s how it is, then we have no choice but to fight to the death!”

“Fight to the death? It’s pointless.” Lin Xun thrust out a palm.

Rumble!

The void trembled violently as a colossal green palm, like the hand of an ancient god, emerged in midair. Spanning hundreds of feet, it descended like a sacred mountain crashing from the heavens.

“Clan Leader, be careful!” The high-ranking figures of the Hua Clan turned ashen and took action at the same time.

Terrifying dao techniques transformed into sword qi, fist light, palm prints and torrents one after another. They surged forth, accompanied by all kinds of chilling visions, and came crashing toward the giant green palm. Hua Liuhong’s face darkened and a dense and extremely sinister dark fiendish aura erupted from his body. It turned into a mass of black clouds over ten feet long, rising to block the giant palm.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The countless attacks slammed into the green palm, but it remained immovable. Instead, the attacks rebounded and blasted the cultivators back. Those with weaker cultivation even coughed up blood and were badly wounded.

The giant green palm, undiminished in strength, thundered down with boundless might.

Horrified and desperate, Hua Liuhong and others brought out their trump cards.

However, the power of Lin Xun’s palm was tremendous.

With a deafening boom, light soared into the sky.

When the smoke cleared, a massive pit hundreds of feet deep had sunken into the mountaintop.

At the center was an enormous palm print like the handprint of a divine being.

Hua Liuhong and the others had all been reduced to pulp, dyeing the huge palm print a striking red hue.

All obliterated with a single palm strike!

The hundred-foot-wide palm print remained visible for years to come, striking awe into the later generations.

At the same time—Jiuwen Peak.

Stronghold of the Qi Clan.

Lin Xun’s Red Flame Dao Body stood at the summit, wreathed in divine flames that scorched and distorted the skies and boiled the clouds.

The thousand foot peak had become a sea of ​​fire, and all members of the Qi Clan were buried in the inferno.

Whether it was the bloodbath at the Chi Clan’s Crested Jade Peak, the massacre at the Hua Clan’s Clear Frost Peak or the inferno at the Qi Clan’s Jiuwen Peak, all of it happened almost simultaneously.

Furthermore, it all only took a moment!

By the time news began to spread, Lin Xun and the two dao bodies had merged back and returned to the alley where Shi Yu and the others waited.

The Lord of Mind Cleansing Peak, Lin Xun.

He had returned to the Forbidden City!

This news, as well as the fall of three high clans Chi, Hua, and Qi, swept through the Forbidden City like a raging storm, setting off tremendous waves and leaving countless cultivators trembling.

Lin Xun, after years of silence, had been forgotten in the lower world, becoming just a distant memory to the older generation.

In recent years, whenever the younger generation spoke of Lin Xun, most did so with indifference or even disdain, believing that his era had long passed and he was no longer worthy of admiration or reverence.

Today, Lin Xun’s mighty return struck like divine thunder, shocking both the older generation and the younger generation.

It should be noted that the three high clans, the Hua Clan, the Chi Clan, and the Qi Clan, had grown increasingly powerful in recent years since they had submitted to the major factions of the Ancient Wasteland Domain. They were second only to the great forces in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Now, these three powerful clans had been annihilated at the same time by Lin Xun alone!

It was unbelievable!

“How powerful has Lin Xun become?”

“After years of silence, he returned more magnificent than ever!”

“Mind Cleansing Peak was destroyed, and all the forces tied to the Lin Clan suffered one after another. How furious must the Lord of Mind Cleansing Peak be after learning about this?

Countless discussions erupted like wildfire. The Forbidden City, which had long since become comparable to a world of its own, was shaken to its core because of Lin Xun’s return.
