Chapter 991 That Boy Deserves To Be Killed
Standing in the way was a youngster in a yellow robe. He had bright eyes, brows shaped like swords, red lips, and pearly white teeth. He stood out from the crowd in terms of bearing and appearance.
If Lin Xun remembered correctly, the young man was one of the successors from the Heaven Axis Holy Land who came with Chu Beihai to the Rock Appraisal Event.
“Monk, my senior brother requests to see you, please come with me,” said the yellow-robed young man said casually, yet there was a vague hint of superiority.
“Who is your senior brother?” asked Lin Xun.
The yellow-robed young man furrowed his brows ever so slightly and a proud smile spread across his lips. “Chu Beihai.”
He only uttered two words, but it seemed to have some sort of magical power because the pupils of all nearby cultivators shrank. They never thought that Chu Beihai, the leading figure of the younger generation of Heaven Axis Holy Land, would invite the monk over.
Could it be because of the bet just now?
A thought struck many people’s minds.
“I have to decline the offer, I have something to do. If there is a chance in the future, then I can pay him a visit then,” Lin Xun refused without hesitation.
He and Chu Beihai didn’t know each other at all, so it was very unusual for Chu Beihai to invite him.
Moreover, he was on unfriendly terms with Nangong Shui, Nangong Huo, and other successors from the Heaven Axis Holy Land so he didn’t want to see them at this time.
“How dare you refuse?” His answer took the yellow-robed young man aback. This is an invitation from Senior Brother Chu. Wouldn’t ordinary cultivators compliantly obey the order?
“Haha, why can’t I refuse?” Lin Xun chuckled. He could tell that the other party was incredibly arrogant from his one sentence.
“You didn’t even ask for the reason why Senior Brother Chu wants to see you,” uttered the young man in a displeased manner. He found the monk rude and disrespectful to not give him any face, especially since he had come all the way to pass on the message to him.
“Apologies but I need to go.” Lin Xun turned around to leave without wavering.
The yellow-robed young man’s frustration told Lin Xun that there had to be something going on.
“You...” The yellow-robed young man was about to go mad. Isn’t the monk too arrogant? He just walked away like I don’t exist!
But just when he was going to stop him, he was surprised to find that the monk had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“This doesn’t feel right. That guy seems very suspicious!” The yellow-roved young man narrowed his eyes, turned around and hurried back to report to Chu Beihai.
……
The deepest part of the garden was embellished with gorgeous pavilions, terraces and rippling ponds.
In one of the tallest buildings, Chu Beihai was sitting upright. His spear-straight body was shrouded in golden dao light. Even if he was sitting casually, he oozed confidence and superiority.
Nangong Huo, Gu Yunting and other successors of the Heaven Axis Holy Land sat around him, looking stiff and nervous.
They were considered as dazzling figures among the younger generation and were known throughout the Ancient Blue Province yet in front of Chu Beihai, they had to be humble and respectful.
This was enough to show how powerful Chu Beihai was.
“Eldest Senior Brother, that monk was just lucky, why did you invite him over?” Clad in a golden robe, Nangong Huo was as handsome and elegant as before.
“That monk is not your average monk,” Chu Beihai said casually, but his voice seemed to possess a power that penetrated deep into people’s hearts.
“His bet with Junior Brother Nangong Shui is nothing special but what interests me about him is that he is pretending to be a successor from the Earth Treasury Temple.” Chu Beihai’s star-like eyes shot out two rays of blinding light that crisscrossed the air like two silver swords.
“He pretended to be a successor from the Earth Treasury Temple?!” Everyone was taken aback.
“The Earth Treasury Temple is an extremely mysterious sacred place for Buddhist cultivation. Its background and foundation are terrifying, comparable to that of our Heaven Axis Holy Land.”
Chu Beihai’s voice was calm, but it attracted the attention of everyone present. “At first, I thought that a successor from the Earth Treasury Temple attended the Rock Appraisal Event, but very quickly I found that it was the monk’s disguise.”
“Who would dare to do that?” Nangong Huo and the others looked bewildered.
“This is what I am curious about. The method of disguise that that person used should be the Great Formless Art, an inheritance art of the Azure Hill Sky Fox Clan. I would have been fooled by him if I hadn’t mastered the Flame Golden Eye Art.”
Chu Beihai couldn’t help smiling. “This proved that the boy is also an extremely powerful character, so I want to meet him in person. After all, the battle of the great age is nearing, so it’s a good idea to get to know more interesting friends.”
Understanding dawned on the others.
It was at this moment when the yellow-robed young man frantically ran in and bowed, “Senior Brother, something is wrong. The monk ran away when he heard your invitation.”
Everyone else was offended. Isn’t that guy too disrespectful? Does he not know that Senior Brother Chu is waiting for him here?
Chu Beihai smiled as if he didn’t mind before he uttered ruminatively. “It seems like he doesn’t want to expose his real identity.”
“No, I think he acted very suspicious, so he must have something he doesn’t want us to know. Senior Brother Chu, you might not know this but the monk looks like he won’t harm a fly, but he slipped away faster than anyone else!” The yellow-robed youngster was still seething about Lin Xun’s refusal which made him lose face.
“Oh?” Chu Beihai pondered for a moment and then he suddenly waved his sleeve and brought a rain of light. The wisps of light suddenly took the shape of a painting.
The subject in the painting was a handsome young man dressed in a moon-white robe and had a transcendent aura.
“Do you recognize this person?” asked Chu Beihai.
Nangong Huo cried out in surprise before his voice faded. “He…he…he looks very familiar!”
Gu Yunting’s expression also changed, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
“Master Uncle, it’s him!” A purple-robed youngster sprang up. “He is the one who took the Dao Forbidden Stone sold at the stall!”
“What?” An old man in a black robe wrinkled his brows, “Are you sure it’s him?”
“I’m certain!” The purple-robed youngster stated firmly.
Seeing that everyone reacted differently, but they all seemed to recognize the young man, Chu Beihai couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. “Who is he?”
“Lin Xun!”
Nangong Huo’s face clouded over as he recalled the scene of him getting his butt kicked by Lin Xun in Qinglu Academy. The shame and embarrassment that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time came rushing up to his face.
“That’s right, it’s him.” Gu Yunting also nodded with a complicated look on his face. He never expected to see him again after these years.
“Do you all know this person?” Chu Beihai realized that something was wrong.
“I’ll recognize him even when he turns into ashes!” Nangong Huo clenched his teeth and told everything he knew about Lin Xun.
Gu Yunting also spoke about the deeds of Lin Xun in the Forbidden City.
“Then, this boy is daring. He is not only arrogant and wild in the lower domain, but he did not try to curb his arrogance in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He even pretended to be a successor from the Earth Treasury Temple. This is outrageous!” declared Chu Beihai after hearing all the stories about Lin Xun.
“Lin Xun?”
Someone cried out again, “Senior Brother Chu, that boy deserves to be killed!”
