Chapter 1392: Statue of Him
Haze City.
A medium-sized imperial battleship roared as it landed from the air. The hatch swung open its door, and imperial soldiers walked out in a line.
Thirty similar battleships had arrived throughout the day, bringing an army of one hundred thousand elite cultivators to Haze City.
In the city, the originally deserted streets and alleys were filled with citizens of the empire, and everyones face was alight with delight and hope.
A little girl raised her head and asked, Mother, can we not leave from now on?
Silly girl, this is our home. If the monster-beasts did not come to invade, who would want to leave home? said a woman softly.
What does it mean to be forced to leave your native place?
You dont know? Well, I hope you will never know. It is too painful to know...
While the mother and daughter were chatting, countless figures were returning to Haze City from all directions.
Everyone had to leave their home and fled in panic when monster-beasts invaded the city.
Now, once they learned that all the monster-beasts had been defeated and that peace had returned to Haze City, they all chose to return without hesitation.
After all, this was their home!
Above the city tower, the sunset clouds glowed like fire. Song Jungui gazed into the distance, watching the tide of imperial soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys, and maintaining order in the city.
Watching more and more people return to the city with their families, seeing the looks of joy, excitement, and hope on their faces
Inexplicably, Song Jungui felt a lump in his throat.
The city had been protected!
Of course, the citizens would feel optimism and hope!
Emotions surged within Song Jungui when he thought about what had happened one day ago. An army of monster-beasts had almost invaded Haze City and the city had been about to fall into the enemies hands.
Young Master Lin...is truly god-like! Song Jungui marveled.
Everyone nearby looked at each other and smiled.
If they were not wrong, this was the nineteenth time that Governor Song Jungui looked so emotionally moved.
Suddenly, Song Jungui drew a deep breath and pointed to the center of the city. I want to construct a statue of Young Master Lin in this city so that everyone in the future will know that Haze City only exists because of Young Master Lin!
Everyone trembled inwardly.
Erecting a statue was a significant event.
Do any of you have any objections?
Song Jungui swept a glance over everyone, and they shook their heads.
Then its decided.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuefeng and the ten Lin Clan descendants just returned to the city. The glow of the setting sun accentuated their blood-stained bodies and miserable state.
Lin Xing, when you fight for real, remember not to act on impulse!
Lin Yanyun, you need to hone your combat skills more. You wont have time to hesitate in a real fight of blood.
Lin Du, your performance was not bad in the battle just now. I will reward you once we get back.
Along the way, Lin Xuefeng commented on everyones performance.
Lin Xing and the others listened seriously.
Tonight, all of you will need to write a report of your battle experience and insight, Lin Xuefeng commanded.
Yes. Everyone nodded.
Lin Xuefeng could not help but smile when he saw that no one looked dispirited, frustrated, or disappointed.
Today, he led a team to the outskirts to kill the remaining fleeing monster-beasts. At first, he was a little worried that Lin Xing and the others would not perform well in battle.
Who would have thought that, after a day of fighting, they displayed remarkable tenacity and fighting spirit that amazed him?
However, due to their lack of exposure to real-life fighting, they also revealed many flaws in the battles.
However, Lin Xuefeng knew that as long as Lin Xing and the others continued to hone their combat skills, those many flaws would significantly lessen and their strength would improve again and again!
Each of you has obtained an ancient inheritance power from the head of the family. If you do not rise to become a true influential figure then you will disappoint him and waste all his efforts Lin Xuefeng murmured.
Lin Xuefeng and the others were completely unaware that a shadow was following them.
It was Little Silver.
He was entrusted by Lin Xun to secretly protect Lin Xuefeng and others.
Protecting a bunch of little guys is so boring. Little Silver yawned as he reminisced about the days in the Supreme Realm.
Huh?
Little Silver suddenly raised his head and peered at the distant sky.
A huge shadow was sweeping towards Haze City from far away like a moving mountain.
That?
Song Jungui and the others narrowed their eyes on the city tower.
Its the body of a monster-beast...
Everyone looked confused.
Many imperial soldiers in Haze City were also alarmed and raised their vigilance.
Its Young Master Lin! Song Jungui cried out in surprise.
It was only when the shadow drew closer that he saw the tall and elegant figure standing atop the colossal monster-beast body. He was dressed in all white like a celestial being from heaven.
It was precisely Lin Xun.
Young Master Lin?
Countless excited gazes were cast towards the shadow.
Is he the Young Master Lin who helped us eliminate an army of monster-beasts and saved the city by himself?
Thats him!
Mother, is that big brother in the sky a divine being?
In the city, there was nonstop clamor. Whether it was the imperial soldiers or ordinary people, all faces were filled with excitement, surprise, and awe.
On that day, they learned about the details of the great battle and also heard about all the amazing feats accomplished by Lin Xun himself.
Now, his victorious return while standing atop the corpse of a tremendous beast caused a sensation in the city.
Boom!
The giant beasts corpse thudded to the ground, while Lin Xun elegantly drifted onto the city tower and was enthusiastically greeted and welcomed by Song Jungui and the others.
What? Is that Golden Armor King?
Everyone was dumbstruck by the fact that the mountain-like body turned out to be the monster-beast leader entrenched in the Southwest Province.
One day hadnt even passed, but Golden Armor King was already slaughtered?!
Take off his head and hang it on the city tower for all the monster-beast kings in the world to see what the consequences are for violating the empire. Lin Xun said casually, As for its flesh and blood, prepare it for dinner tonight and reward the upper, middle, and lower army.
Song Jungui and others loudly agreed.
That night, the aroma of meat filled the air of Haze City, and laughter and conversations continued endlessly.
In particular, when they learned that Lin Xun had single-handedly crushed Yin Soul Mountain, wiped out the monster-beast army, and resolved the serious problem of the Southwest Province in one swoop, Song Jungui and the others were wild with joy, and even went a little crazy with excitement!
As the news spread throughout Haze City, the huge city was also stirred up and countless soldiers and ordinary people started to discuss Lin Xun under the night sky.
The night was as beautiful as a painting, with clusters of stars shining brightly overhead.
Lin Xun found a quiet part of the city wall to sit down and view the distant mountains and valleys alone.
He played about with a pill in his hand. It was the Eternal Life-Defying Pilla rare priceless treasure with immeasurable benefits in overcoming the fate tribulation.
However, the pill that could ignite the envy and covetousness of any Longevity King was gradually being consumed in Lin Xuns palm, becoming wisps of light rain and vanishing.
Eventually, only a streak of blood was left in Lin Xuns palm, as tiny as a strand of hair.
Only when examined with the spirit sense would one find that the inconspicuous streak of blood was imbued with a peculiar and complex forbidden magic power.
I knew that the Monster-Beast Ancestor would not be so generous to gift such a precious pill to his subordinates. It turns out that he is up to something
Lin Xuns dark eyes shone with a cold light as he gathered power to his palm, and the streak of blood was suddenly erased.
If he had been tempted to use the pill to challenge the fate tribulation, then he would have suffered disastrous consequences.
Lin Xun speculated that the Monster-Beast Ancestor did not do so to target him, but instead he was trying to get at the monster-beasts kings who served and worked for him. His purpose was to fully control them and force them to collect offerings for him, which would help him escape one day.
But who is this Monster-Beast Ancestor? And where is he trapped?
Lin Xuns mind raced with thoughts. Over the past ten years, the world had undergone drastic great changes, and monster-beasts had become rampant in the empires territory. The culprit behind that turned out to be a terrifying existence called the Monster-Beast Ancestor.
Did the powerful, influential figures in the empire know about this?
Little Silver appeared and asked in a concerned voice, Master, is something on your mind?
I may have to leave for a while to visit the place where I lived when I was young, and then after that I will go to other places to kill monster-beasts. Lin Xun said in a low voice, During this period, you shall stay with the Lin Clan descendants. Dont let anything happen to them.
Little Silver sighed helplessly. Thats so boring.
Lin Xun was speechless for a moment. Boring? When the Nine Domains War comes, you will wish it was boring.
Little Silver thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Late that night, Lin Xun quietly left by himself. He steered the Grand Universe Ark into the direction of Donglin City in the Southwest Province.
On the outskirts of Donglin City was the Great Three Thousand Mountains, also called heavens border.
When Lin Xun was young, he trekked to Feiyun Village from the Great Three Thousand Mountains and then to Donglin City from Feiyun Village.
Now, he was no longer the same frail kid as back then, but a supreme king who had reached the perfect seventh longevity tribulation stage and who was about to challenge the fate tribulation.
Therefore, he needed to look back at his past, understand, and explore the traces of his own fate from the tracks he made in his youth!
At the same time, a piece of news spread in the night, sweeping the Forbidden City and other territories of the empire like a storm...
What? The Golden Armor King has been killed? Heavens, unbelievable! Did Lin Xun really do that himself?
He single-handedly destroyed the lair of Golden Armor King and trampled Yin Soul Mountain?
In the darkness of the night, countless major forces in the Forbidden City were alarmed and horror stricken. Even the old monsters of the King Stage were all dumbfounded and in disbelief.
It had to be mentioned that it was not long ago when news came out that Lin Xun killed Green Lightning Hawk King and eighteen other monster-beast kings by himself, crushing the monster-beast army and rescuing Haze City from misery.
But in less than a day, news then came out that both Golden Armor King and his lair had been destroyed. Who would believe the news without questioning it?
