The Prodigies War

Chapter 1360 Luring the Enemy

“What gall!” A person smacked the table and sprung up before Song Qingyun could speak. It was a luxuriously dressed man who was clearly a descendant of a noble clan. He pointed at Lin Xun and scolded, “Are you blind? Can’t you see that we’re having a gathering?!”

The others also displayed their displeasure.

The young man who had suddenly walked up to the second floor was indeed Lin Xun. He cast a glance at the luxuriously dressed man.

The latter instantly froze on the spot and started shivering as a great terror swept through his heart. He felt as if he had just been eyed by a god.

Thud!

His knees went weak and fell back on his seat with a dull expression.

Seeing this, the entire room was startled.

Song Qingyun’s eyes flickered. He said, “Do you need me for something, friend?”

Lin Xun only said, “Follow me.”

With that, he turned around and left. contemporary romance

From start to end, he had only said two short sentences. The first one was ‘Song Qingyun?’ so as to confirm the target’s identity. The second one was ‘Follow me,’ and he had said it without any emotion.

But to the shock of the others, Song Qingyun instantly got up and followed Lin Xun.

After they disappeared from view, everyone in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. Is that man an acquaintance of Song Qingyun?

They didn’t understand what had happened because they had no idea that when Lin Xun’s seventh longevity cultivation was applied on a Cyclic Derivation cultivator like Song Qingyun, it was enough to take over the latter’s spirit and mind!

......

In the shadow of a hill outside the city, Lin Xun appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his sleeve, Song Qingyun tumbled on the ground.

It was only then did Song Qingyun come to his senses. His expression drastically changed, and he said in a trembling voice, “Senior, my master is Meng Qiujing, an inner elder of the Omega Sword Sect. If I have somehow offended you, please take account of this and forgive me.”

As an inner disciple of the Omega Sword Sect, how could he not realize that the young man in front of him was highly likely a King stage monster?

“Meng Qiujing’s last disciple, right? I was looking for you.” Lin Xun casually said, “I need you to help me with something. If you cooperate, then you won’t have to worry about your life...”

Without waiting for Lin Xun to finish, Song Qingyun hurriedly nodded. “I’ll cooperate, I’ll definitely cooperate!”

Lin Xun was stunned. This fellow is too spineless. He’s from the same Omega Sword Sect as Yun Qingbai, but the difference is like heaven and earth. .com

“Alright. First, I need to get something from your memory. You’d better not resist because it’s useless and will instead cause you unimaginable pain.” Lin Xun didn’t want to waste his time on a coward. He ordered, “Little Silver, your turn.”

Whoosh!

Little Silver swept out in a silver streak and entered Song Qingyun’s mind sea.

“What...do you...” Song Qingyun was frightened, but before he could even attempt to resist, his face became lifeless like his soul had wandered off.

Lin Xun quietly waited.

Little Silver was a descendant of the God Devourer Insects. The abilities it had at the Supreme King longevity stage was more than enough to extract all the memories from Song Qingyun’s spirit!

Moreover, the memories were guaranteed to be authentic and not forged.

“Master, all done.” Little Silver appeared a little while later, looking relaxed.

Lin Xun nodded. He planned to kill Meng Qiujing, Meng Rong, and Ninth Prince Zhao Jingzhen. Since it was impossible to just go and break into the Omega Sword Sect, he could only find another way.

After two days of investigating, he finally selected Song Qingyun.

This person was Meng Qiujing’s final and treasured core disciple. Meng Qiujing obviously considered him the first in line to inherit his complete legacy.

Lin Xun’s idea was that as long as he had Song Qingyun in control, he could plot and lure Meng Qiujing out from the Omega Sword Sect.

Then, he would proceed to control Meng Qiujing. By that point, Meng Rong and Zhao Jingzhen, who could only survive under the protection of the Omega Sword Sect, would also have no way to escape.

“Master, I found something interesting from this man’s memories,” said Little Silver with an odd expression.

“What is it?” asked Lin Xun.

“This guy is actually Meng Qiujing’s illegitimate son! It’s just that Meng Qiujing has been keeping this a secret, so no one else in the Omega Sword Sect knows about it,” replied Little Silver.

Lin Xun’s expression also became strange. So that’s why such a coward is still so highly valued and cultivated by Meng Qiujing...

He looked at Song Qingyun, seemingly pondering something.

“Looks like our plan will need to change.”

......

In the afternoon, a huge piece of news spread in the city—

“Song Qingyun, an inner disciple of the Omega Sword Sect, was caught red-handed by a passing expert when he was forcing himself on a young girl! The expert, in a fit of rage, captured him and tied him above the city gates as a public punishment!”

The whole city was abuzz.

Baiyujing was the territory of the Omega Sword Sect, yet someone had the audacity to capture one of its disciples and hang him above the city gates in public display!

That afternoon, many people in the city saw with their own eyes Song Qingyun indeed being bound on the city wall. He looked all disheveled and was obviously unconscious.

“Who did this?”

Everyone had the same question. Such an action was simply a slap in the face of the Omega Sword Sect.

Many people lamented, “Alas, what a troubled time we’re in. The Omega Sword Sect has just lost three Saints in a row and is still in turmoil. Now, even Song Qingyun is tied up and humiliated in public. Does this mean many people think that the Omega Sword Sect’s might is no longer as great as it once was?”

Meanwhile, many were entertained since the trouble had nothing to do with them. “Humph, I’ve long heard that Song Qingyun is very pompous and lecherous. This isn’t his first time assaulting innocent girls. It’s just that...heh...he met someone formidable this time!”

That evening, the news spread to the Omega Sword Sect and caused an uproar.

Cloud Light Hall.

When Meng Qiujing heard about what happened, he was furious. Our sect is going through a stormy time, and that prodigal son still has the heart to do this kind of nasty thing?!

“Intolerable! How dare they make light of our Omega Sword Sect like that?! No matter who did it, we must execute them as a warning to others!”

“Master, let’s hurry and do something about this! Senior Brother Song is still being hung on public display! This...this is a humiliation.”

One disciple arrived at Cloud Light Hall after another, filled with ‘righteous’ indignation as they clamored to rescue Song Qingyun and kill the culprit.

“Shut up! You don’t think this isn’t already embarrassing enough?!” roared Meng Qiujing.

The entire hall instantly grew silent.

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly resounded outside, “Junior Brother Meng, Song Qingyun is your last disciple, isn’t he? You will need to settle this scandalous matter yourself. He must be punished for doing such a despicable deed in broad daylight. I need a satisfactory answer!”

Meng Qiujing’s expression abruptly changed. He hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands. “Yes, Sect Leader!”

The majestic voice rang out, “Junior Brother Meng, recently our sect has been plagued by a series of misfortunes and is going through a turbulent time. I hope that something like this won’t happen again in the future.”

With that, the voice disappeared.

Meng Qiujing’s face was gloomy as he just couldn’t wait to slap his prodigal son to death. He really knows to bring nothing but more trouble to me!

Meng Qiujing took a deep breath to calm down and dismissed the disciples. “You can all leave. I’ll personally go and take a look at this.”

He then stood still and pondered for a while. In the end, he left, flying up toward the horizon.

“I’d like to see who has such guts to humiliate my son like that!” In the night clouds, Meng Qiujing’s face was ice-cold, his heart steaming with killing intent.

There had really been one disaster after another recently, and Meng Qiujing had also accumulated a stomach full of anger. Now that the bullying concerned himself, he could no longer endure it.

“Wait... No, how could this happen for no reason at all? Qingyun would never do such a stupid thing in broad daylight and even get caught at that!”

Halfway there, Meng Qiujing suddenly frowned as he felt that something was wrong.

“Moreover, who in the world doesn’t know that Baiyujing is the territory of the Omega Sword Sect? Only an idiot would dare to humiliate an inner disciple in full view of the public, or they’re simply tired of living...”

The more Meng Qiujing thought about it, the clearer it was that something was off.

As an old monster of the King stage, he had experienced countless plots and schemes.

He had just been blindsided and taken over by fury earlier. Now that he had calmed down, he instantly noticed the fishy aspects.

“Could it be that...it’s to deal with me?”

Meng Qiujing abruptly stopped in the air. Under the night was as black as ink, a wisp of starlight pierced through the clouds and reflected his flickering expressions.

Less than a thousand miles ahead was the city where Song Qingyun was bound.

But at this moment, in Meng Qiujing’s eyes, it was a huge net that had been carefully laid out, just waiting for him to run headlong into it.

He hesitated in an internal struggle.

No one knew that Song Qingyun was actually his own son. As a father, how could he sit still and watch his son suffer?

But what if it was a trap that targeted him? Should he still go?

Meng Qiujing could not make up his mind. “If it’s really to deal with me, then who on earth would do so? They didn’t even dare to reveal their identity and could only use Qingyun to force me to come out... Don’t tell me...it’s that loathsome boy?!”

A name suddenly surfaced in his head – Lin Xun!

Meng Qiujing gasped as a chill ran down his spine.

He had a strong premonition that it was definitely Lin Xun. Only Lin Xun would have the motive to lay out a plan to deal with him!

He had already predicted after hearing of Yun Qingbai’s death that Lin Xun would definitely find time to deal with him, Meng Rong, and Zhao Jingzhen.

Therefore, he had taken one step ahead and sent Meng Rong and Zhao Jingzhen away.

This had been just in case, but Meng Qiujing did not expect that Lin Xun would come so quickly!

“No. I must go back!”

Meng Qiujing gritted his teeth and decided to turn back around, knowing he was no match for Lin Xun who was capable of killing even Saints.

For the sake of preserving his own life, he could only give up his own son. As long as he hid in the Omega Sword Sect and didn’t come out, there would be nothing Lin Xun could do to him no matter how capable he was!

“It’s a pity for Qingyun...”

Meng Qiujing’s heart ached like it was being cut through by a knife. He felt an indescribable grief and fury, but also indescribably fortunate.

Perhaps it was because he was lucky enough to recognize and avoid a fatal disaster.

At this moment, Meng Qiujing’s state of mind was very complex.

But all of a sudden, his expression abruptly changed, and he stopped in his tracks. At some point, a tall figure had unknowingly appeared on his path.
