Chapter 1562: Travelling Through the Various Territories

Gou Tianqi couldn’t help but feel a wave of fear. After some time, he took a deep breath and said with an icy snort, "So it’s you, Lin Xun. The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan won’t make things difficult on account that you constructed the City of Protection. I hope that you can also understand that this is the Nine Domains Battlefield where we must stand together against the enemies regardless of the feuds that exist between us. What do you say?"

The surrounding crowd felt disdain at how the old man had changed tunes so quickly.

Lin Xun nodded. "I naturally won’t bring up any old grudges at this juncture."

Gou Tianqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lin Xun’s subsequent words caused his expression to abruptly change.

"However, the Ancient Wasteland Camp doesn’t take in garbage."

Gou Tianqi’s face flushed with rage. He forcibly restrained his anger and said, "It’s a waste of breath to discuss any further since we have different views. Goodbye!"

With that, he flourished his sleeves in preparation to leave.

However, Lin Xun indifferently said, "If you dare to leave, no Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan expert will be allowed to set foot in this city starting today."

Gou Tianqi stiffened as if he had been struck by lightning.

If it were before, he would have turned up his nose at such a threat, but he didn’t dare to treat it lightly now.

After all, Lin Xin had absolute authority in the City of Protection and a single word from him could decide the fate of all the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan experts!

With an ugly expression, Gou Tianqi said each word with a noticeable pause, "Lin Xun, are you abusing your authority to take revenge?"

Piak!

Lin Xun smacked him in the face, sending blood squirting from his nose and mouth as he fell to the ground with a swollen face.

The surrounding crowd remained silent out of fear.

Lin strode forward, looked down at Gou Tianqi, and said, "I built this city and I call the shots here. So what if I abuse my authority? Are you going to bite me?"

Gou Tianqi trembled in anger as he gnashed his teeth and hissed, "Aren’t you afraid of causing dissent among our fellow Ancient Wasteland Domain comrades if you act so unreasonably?"

Before Lin Xun could reply, someone in the crowd couldn’t help but scold, "Bah! You shameless old dog, would this city exist without Young Master Lin? He’s already being merciful enough to let the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan into the city, yet you still refuse to show any gratitude. How unscrupulous!"

As if a dam had been broken, a flood of angry voices swiftly followed. "Yeah, this old fellow is too shameless. I would have killed him already if I were Young Master Lin!"

"Hurry up and get lost, old man. The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan isn’t welcome in the City of Protection!"

Gou Tianqi was initially dumbstruck before he began to feel resentful, fearful, and embarrassed.

In the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he was a mighty True Saint who was respected by everyone wherever he went. In contrast, he was now akin to a rat that everyone wanted to chase away!

"Old dog, do as you wish."

Lin Xun could no longer be bothered with the other party and left.

Wanyin hurriedly followed and delightedly said, "Young Master Lin, thanks for upholding justice."

Lin Xin waved his hand and said, "If Shaohao was here, he wouldn’t have tolerated such unchecked behavior either."

"Well, my Young Master is overly gracious. At present, more than a 100,000 Ancient Wasteland Domain experts have gathered in the City of Protection and as the saying goes, when the forest grows big, all kinds of birds can be found. These days, there are too many people like that old dog who only wish to sit back and enjoy the benefits without helping."

Wanyin sighed softly. "In fact, experts from several factions have secretly colluded to refuse all dispatches and orders".

"You know, although we’re supposed to be on the same side, what difference would there be between us and a bowl of sand if everyone does their own thing and refuses to listen to orders?"

Iciness flashed in Lin Xun’s black eyes. "I understand."

Before long, Lin Xun met Shaohao and Ruowu in a grand hall.

The two appeared to be discussing something but their eyes immediately lit up at the sight of Lin Xun. "The man who can make the decision is finally here."

Lin Xun was taken aback while Ruowu smiled and explained, "There's been some trouble in the city recently. Fortunately, everything is still under control."

Shaohao also smiled and said, "Now, it's up to you to make a decision."

Lin Xun grew increasingly curious, "What decision?"

"Several troublemakers have recently appeared in the city, such as the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan and the Heaven Axis Holy Land disciples. Miss Ruowu and I have been keeping an eye on them so you just need to give the word and we’ll dispatch them to the most dangerous zones."

Shaohao's voice sounded gentle, but his words brimmed with killing intent.

"So you guys already had a plan and were baiting the fish."

Lin Xun began to understand.

Ruowu smilingly said, "To face our enemies, we must first settle our internal affairs. If our internal troubles aren’t eliminated, what will the Ancient Wasteland Domain have to fight the enemies of the eight domains?"

Lin Xun appeared thoughtful as he asked, "What if the troublemakers refuse to listen?"

Iciness flashed in Ruowu’s eyes as she answered, "Then we kill one to make an example! This isn’t the Ancient Wasteland Domain. Whoever refuses dispatches might as well be going against the Ancient Wasteland Camp. It’ll be better if they’re killed."

Lin Xun relaxed substantially. On the way here, he had been thinking of how to solve this problem. Who could have expected that Ruowu and Shaohao had already thought of everything?

Lin Xun chuckled and said, "You guys can go ahead and decide such matters. Why do you need me to make a decision?"

Ruowu rolled her eyes. "Presently, the Ancient Wasteland camp only acknowledged you alone. You’re their leader and decisions made by us aren't fully acknowledged by everyone."

Lin Xun smiled bitterly. "Leader? Why does it feel like you guys find that very amusing?"

In the end, however, he readily agreed.

On that very day, a storm rose in the City of Protection.

To Lin Xun’s surprise, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan changed their previous attitude and voluntarily offered to cooperate and accept any deployment without hesitation.

Evidently, after being taught a lesson by Lin Xun, Gou Tianqi realized that he needed to change his attitude.

Of course, there were still some experts who refused to be dispatched. Most of them were talented individuals from ancient orthodoxies who felt they were superior to others and refused to acknowledge Lin Xun’s commands.

On that same evening, however, these dissentient voices quickly disappeared after Shaohao personally killed more than a dozen targets who had long been identified as potential problems.

This was called making an example and displaying strength as a warning.

Next, the experts who had been showing tendencies to cause trouble were dispatched to high-risk operations such as spying, scouting for intelligence, patrolling the Ancient Wasteland Territory...and so on.

Even if they didn't want to, they had no choice but to obediently follow.

Only a fool would be unable to tell that with Lin Xun, Shaohao, and Ruowu overseeing the City of Protection, whoever opposed them would be seeking death!

The atmosphere in the City of Protection changed. Although it wasn’t overly strict there was no longer any opposition or resistance to Shaohao’s and Ruowu’s orders.

As for Lin Xun, he couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters.

On that same day, he left the camp.

There was about five months before the arrival of the Origin Magnet Secret Realm so Lin Xun planned to use this time to find Zhao Jingxuan’s whereabouts!

Although more than a year had passed since they had been sent to the Nine Domains Battlefield, he had yet to hear any news about her. How could he not feel worried?

……

A few days later.

On a wasteland in the Star Fiend Territory.

A group of Star Fiend Ancient Domain experts were collecting a divine resource called the Nine-Leaf Purple Yin Wood.

All of a sudden, a figure appeared in front of them. He was dressed in moon-white clothes and gave off an immortal-like aura.

It was Lin Xun.

Someone shouted with a wary expression, "Who are you!?"

"Have you seen this person?"

Lin Xun’s finger cut the air, creating a screen of light that displayed Zhao Jingxuan’s image.

One of the experts laughed in anger. "Why should we tell you even if we have?"

Lin Xun didn’t bother replying and waved his sleeve.

The Star Fiend experts were instantly slaughtered and turned into corpses.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Little Silver flew out and began to probe the remnant spirits in the bodies.

After some time, Little Silver shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Lin Xun acknowledged that silently and turned to leave.

……

Half a month later.

The Nine Dark Territory.

A group of Nine Dark Ancient Domain experts were stopped. Lin Xin didn’t beat about the bush and conjured an image of Zhao Jingxuan as he asked, "Have you ever seen this person?"

"No."

The experts were clearly intimidated and frightened by Lin Xun’s presence.

In the end, however, none of them were left alive when he left.

……

One month.

Two months.

Lin Xun’s footprints were left on the Star Fiend Territory, the Nine Dark Territory, the Heavenly Flame Territory, the Absolute Yin Territory...

With his current cultivation and combat power, he could travel wherever he wanted without leaking his location. Every expert he questioned was wiped out without a trace.

As such, the eight domains were unable to detect his presence from start to end, leaving them gnashing their teeth in hatred while also feeling fearful that Lin Xun had soundlessly crossed their territories without them noticing.

However, Lin Xun’s search still bore no fruit.

It made him increasingly worried. He didn't dare to think about what he would do if something happened to Zhao Jingxuan...

"Where...is she?"

One day, in a mountainous region of the Great Luo Territory. Lin Xin strode alone between gullies and mountain streams with furrowed brows and a frustrated expression.

"Who goes there?"

"How did he find this place?"

"Quickly stop him. No one must disturb the Young Master!"

Suddenly, loud shouts awoke Lin Xun from his thoughts.

He looked up and found himself before a lake deep in the mountains.

Lotuses bloomed as if they were burning on the huge lake while a spatial door floated above it.

At the moment, numerous figures surrounded the lake, restricting anyone from approaching.
