BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1385 Monster-Beast Slaying Operation
Chapter 1385 Monster-Beast Slaying Operation
The oldest among them was Lin Xuefeng, Lin Xun’s older cousin.
The younger ones were only eleven years old, and they addressed Lin Xunyi as older cousin or uncle.
Everyone waited quietly, the muscles of their faces quivering with nervousness, anxiousness, anticipation, and hopefulness.
Lin Xun was greeted by this scene as soon as he walked out of the Mind Cleansing Hall.
“Didn’t I say that I only need ten people?” Lin Xun looked taken aback.
“Young Master, it’s better if you select the candidates yourself.” Lin Zhong gave a wry smile.
Lin Xun swept a glance over at the distance, where many important figures of the Lin Clan were staring at him with hopeful expressions on their faces.
He understood the situation right away and couldn’t help chuckling to himself. I am choosing warriors to accompany me onto the battlefield not touring the world with a bunch of kids.
Finally, he scanned the group and selected ten youngsters of the Lin Clan.
They all possessed a cultivation base of the Spirit Sea Stage and had great potential. Although they were not rare geniuses of the world, their aptitudes were relatively good.
Of course, in Lin Xun’s mind, talent and potential were secondary. The most important was their character and nature.
Cultivation cultivated the mind and nurtured the character.
Those with little talents could also make great progress on the path of cultivation as long as they were willing to work hard and persevere.
Those with extraordinary talents but an unsteady mind were unlikely to progress far.
The ten people he selected had demonstrated a calm, steady and determined look that was different from the others.
Many people were disappointed and frustrated with the result, while some were happy and pleased.
Lin Xuefeng was a little embarrassed because he was the oldest person among them and also Lin Xun’s older cousin, but he was not selected.
Although he was already not confident of being selected, he was still a little disappointed when he learned the result.
“Xuefeng, you will also come.” Lin Xun’s voice rang in his ears.
He stared at him blankly for a good second before he beamed and nodded enthusiastically.
Lin Xun turned to Lin Zhong. “Uncle Zhong, we must handle the matters of the library and treasure building well. Any descendants of the Lin Clan who perform well must be rewarded properly.”
Lin Zhong nodded, “Don’t worry, Young Master!”
Lin Xun nodded.
During all his years of wandering the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he had collected an impressive amount of aeth materials, sacred treasures, elixirs and manuals, and other treasures.
Now, he was already a supreme king of the seventh longevity tribulation stage. He no longer had use for many of the items and treasures so he left them in the Lin Clan’s library and treasure building.
The purpose of this was to allow the Lin Clan to build up a foundation as soon as possible and rise in the drastically changing world.
For example, Lin Xun was leading ten descendants of the Lin Clan to the frontline battlefield with the intention that it would help them mature and grow.
After all, within ten years, the Nine Domains War would kick off, and he would definitely have to leave them then.
Therefore, he aimed to do as much as possible for the Lin Clan before then, so that at least he would not be worrying constantly while he was gone.
Swoosh!
Before long, the Grand Universe Ark roared into the sky, carrying Lin Xun, Lin Xuefeng and ten Lin Clan descendants.
On the ark, Lin Xun opened up a bamboo slip that contained detailed information about the monster-beast armies distributed throughout the empire.
“In the southwest province of the empire, outside of Falling Star City, deep in the Yin Soul Mountain Rage, there is an army of monster-beasts led by Golden Armor Monster-Beast King. The army consists of one hundred thousand monster-beasts and seventy two monster-beast generals...”
“In the Cloud Bright Province of the Empire, in the Python Mountain Swamp, there are nine great monster-beast kings and a group of monster-beast subordinates running rampant. Their leader is called Dark Gloom King...”
“In the province of...”
Snippets of information flashed in Lin Xun’s mind like running water and brought a frown to his face.
Recently, nearly half of the provinces in the empire had been plagued by monster-beasts. The problem was very serious.
Once Lin Xun finished reading the bamboo slip, he had a rough image in his mind.
Monster-beast kings were monster-beast cultivators with king-level cultivation and above. They were all creatures such as fowls, beasts, and plant spirits that cultivated the dao.
In the empire, there were a total of thirty-six known monster-beast kings.
Among them, the greatest threat to the empire had to be Black Robe King in the southern province of the empire. His strength was unfathomable, and he was said to possess a cultivation of the ninth longevity tribulation. He might even possibly have reached the Saint Stage!
Black Robe King rarely showed up in the world. Thus little was known about him and there was hardly any news about him, making him extremely mysterious.
“The ninth longevity tribulation stage...or the Saint Stage? I wonder what sort of creature Black Robe King is...” Lin Xun thought to himself.
It was very unusual!
As Zhao Jingxuan said, in the past, very few monster-beast cultivators were spotted in the empire, but following the great changes in the world ten years ago, more and more were suddenly showing up in the empire...
They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Lin Xun did not believe that, in just over ten years, a large swarm of king-level experts could be born and created in the world.
In other words, the origin of the monster-beasts was very suspicious!
At the same time, Lin Xun was also aware that, with the drastic changes in the world, the empire’s territory had noticeably grown—more than three times larger than before!
In some territories, many famous mountains, blessed lands, rivers and lakes had emerged...all of which were never seen before.
According to Zhao Jingxuan, the empire was like a sealed area in the past, with only a corner of the world visible.
But now, following the great changes in the world, the seal had been lifted, allowing more and more territories to appear in the world!
Furthermore, as the world continued to change, the situation would only happen more and more frequently.
“It’s indeed bizarre...”
Lin Xun already knew that the lower world was not ordinary, but he never expected that such peculiar things would happen within the territory of the empire.
“Clan Leader, where are we going to kill monster-beasts?”
Lin Xuefeng came over and interrupted Lin Xun’s thoughts.
“Southwest Province,” stated Lin Xun.
Scarlet Eagle King suffered an accident in the depths of Yin Soul Mountain Range just outside of Falling Star City.
The Southwest Province had an important significance to Lin Xun.
When he first came to the empire at a young age, he settled in Donglin City, a border city in the Southwest Province of the empire.
......
On the day that Lin Xun left, news broke out in the Forbidden City──
Lin Xun, the master of Mind Cleansing Peak, had left the Forbidden City and headed to the frontline to slay monsters!
A tossed stone raised a thousand ripples. Recently, there was a lot of news in the Forbidden City that it was because Lin Xun overthrew the Zuo and Qin Clans that the monster-beast armies and the Magi Brute Race took advantage of the opportunity to further invade the empire. Lin Xun was being criticized as the cause of the invasion.
But now, Lin Xun was going to fight back.
He gave no explanation at all and just headed off to eradicate troubles of the empire.
This news quickly spread, shaking the Forbidden City.
Recently, the situation in the empire had only become more and more unstable and chaotic. Whether it was the monster-beasts problem or the Magi Brute Race invasion, it threw all the citizens of the empire into a state of anxiety.
But now, Lin Xun was going to fight back, so who wouldn’t pay attention to the matter?
Could the peerless fierce man who could single-handedly trample two high clans be able to reverse the tide? Resolve the troubles of the empire? Ease the situation in the empire by himself?
“Fantastic! With Lord Lin Xun attacking, we will definitely be able to slaughter all enemies! The monster-beasts are going to wet their pants in terror!”
“Who said that Senior Lin Xun only bullied his own kind? Come forward, I will scold them to death!”
“I’m looking forward to Senior Lin Xun’s victorious return!”
In the Forbidden City, even ordinary citizens were stirred up and excited upon hearing the news. Their opinion of Lin Xun massively improved after this.
During this period, the monster-beasts frequently invaded the empire’s territory—burning houses, killing, looting, and committing every kind of crime. There had long been public outrage.
Seeing Lin Xun fight back, it was hard not to be excited.
If it were anyone else, they would not have attracted so much attention. However, Lin Xun was different. To everyone in the empire, he was a legend, an undefeatable myth!
He alone stirred up storms across the empire!
Now, he was about to eradicate evil for the empire, who would not be excited?
Furthermore, the recent rumors, slanders and criticism about Lin Xun had been completely erased as the sensational news spread!
“That guy is finally doing something beneficial to the empire.” Some aristocratic clans sighed.
Lin Xun was very strong and feared by many clans and sects. Of course, many people were happy to see him step forward and eradicate troubles for the empire.
A few days later, even some monster-beasts were frightened by the news and became uneasy.
Some raised their vigilance
But a monster-beast king threateningly said, “Lin Xun? If he dares to come here then I will tell him what is worse than death!”
Such an arrogant and contemptuous attitude infuriated countless experts of the empire.
It did not take long for them to find out that the monster-beast king who left those arrogant words was Blood Mastiff King in the Northwest Province of the empire.
“I admire Lin Xun very much. I am currently short of a capable human slave. Lin Xun is undoubtedly a good candidate for this role.”
In the Southwest Province of the empire, Golden Armor King of Yin Soul Mountain Range announced that he wanted to capture Lin Xun as a slave!
Many people gasped upon hearing it. Golden Armor King was a well-known monster-beast cultivator.
“Just wait, Lin Xun will definitely go to the Southwest Province. Golden Armor King, you better be ready!”
Many experts of the empire choked with rage.
Only Zhao Jingxuan donned a strange expression because she knew that Lin Xun’s first target was Golden Armor King!
How would Golden Armor King react when he saw Lin Xun?
Swoosh!
Meanwhile, Grand Universe Ark was whizzing through the clouds. As the main character of all the news, Lin Xun was currently advising the ten Lin Clan descendants on their cultivation and clearing up any questions or problems they had, completely unaware that his trip had stirred up the entire empire and received countless attention.
