The Prodigies War-Chapter 2227 An Xue

On the upper deck of the ship was a magnificent palace, which was the territory of the Bi’an Imperial Clan.

“You’re saying your son was killed on the ship of my Bi’an Clan?” A man in a bright yellow robe reclined lazily on a throne. His eyes flickered with golden cross-shaped symbols, exuding a chilling aura.

He was An Zheng, a pure-blooded descendant of the Bi’an Imperial Clan, a peerless figure whose cultivation was only one step away from reaching the Emperor Stage.

In the main hall, the man from the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan knelt on the ground with a sorrowful expression. “Young Master, I am absolutely certain! Look, this is my child’s life soul domino.”

He took out the broken life soul domino.

An Zheng frowned, crushing the cup in his hand with a loud crack. His expression darkened as he uttered coldly, “I am very curious to know which bastard dared to cause trouble on this ship.”

The old man in gray beside him whispered, “Young Master, an attendant overseeing the ship’s operations just reported that the restriction power covering Room No. 9C on the bottom deck has been compromised.”

After a pause, the old man added, “The room adjacent to Room No. 9C is occupied by an expert from the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan.”

An Zheng’s eyes flashed a cold look. “Go and investigate this matter. If someone is indeed causing trouble, then rip out his tendons, peel off his skin, and throw him into the sea!”

The old man in gray nodded and hurried away with dozens of Bi’an Clan experts.

“Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Young Master!” The man from the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan expressed his gratitude.

“I’m not helping you,” An Zheng said indifferently, “but merely upholding the rules of my Bi’an Clan.”

......

Outside Room No. 9C on the bottom deck of the ship.

After the gray-robed old man arrived with his group, he thought for a moment and asked, “Who lives here?”

“A member of the Cloud Spirit Clan,” an expert quickly reported.

“Knock on the door,” commanded the old man in gray.

Immediately, one of the experts stepped forward and before his knuckles could touch the door, it creaked open silently. Inside, Lin Xun sat calmly at the table, sipping his drink. Without even glancing at them, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

The old man in gray scanned the room sharply, his eyes quickly landing on the hole in the wall. His frown deepened as he asked, “Did you do that?”

Lin Xun casually tossed a storage bag onto the table. “I know the rules. Inside are three thousand true dragon coins. That should be sufficient compensation.”

The old man in gray questioned expressionlessly, “Did you kill someone?”

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow. Fully aware that the truth had been uncovered, he made no attempt to deny it and simply replied, “Yes.”

The old man in gray and others stared at him, as if they did not expect Lin Xun to be so frank.

“Do you have anything else to say?” The gray-robed old man fixed his gaze on Lin Xun, his expression stern. “If not, surrender peacefully.”

“I believe I haven’t disrupted the order on this ship,” Lin Xun replied nonchalantly.

To reach Jade Rainbow Island, one had to pass through the dangerous expanse of the East Sea, where countless risks lurked.

If Lin Xun was familiar with the route, then he would never have spent money and resources travelling by ship.

“But you killed an expert from the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan!” The gray-robed old man said coldly, “The rules of the ship are that you are not permitted to kill without permission!”

Lin Xun questioned back, “Then why didn’t you show up when those guys were about to kill a little girl of the human race?”

Human race?

The gray-robed old man snorted, “Humans are like livestock, to be slaughtered by anyone at will. Even if I knew, I wouldn’t care.”

Lin Xun’s eyes flashed with coldness. “So, you are saying that when it comes to humans, the Bi’an Clan’s rules no longer apply?”

The gray-robed old man scrunched his brows. “Isn’t it obvious? How can the human race be worthy of the rules of our Bi’an Clan?”

“Then let me make it clear to you too... You all are no longer worthy of me adhering to the rules of this ship. Also, it would be wise for you to vanish from my sight immediately.”

The door slammed shut, leaving the gray-robed old man and his group standing outside.

The expressions of the Bi’an Clan experts all darkened, their eyes turning toward the old man in gray, awaiting his command.

The gray-robed old man grunted coldly, “What are you still standing there for? Take action!”

A burly man from the Bi’an Clan aimed a kick at the door, but before his foot could make contact, his right leg snapped with a loud crack, his tendons and bones shattered. He staggered, collapsing to his knees, groaning in agony.

The gray-robed old man’s eyelids twitched. He couldn’t even tell how the other party attacked!

“How dare you?! You are so arrogant even on our ship! You are seeking death!”

The other Bi’an Clan experts were all furious, and someone rushed forward to break down the door again.

To their surprise, with a series of muffled bangs, all the experts from the Bi’an Clan were thrown to the ground, scattering in all directions, howling in pain.

The gray-robed old man gasped, realizing that they had encountered a fierce character.

“Friend, do you know the consequences of doing this?” He said through gritted teeth. “It does not end well for those who offend our Bi’an Clan!”

The door quietly swung open once more, and Lin Xun stood there, his gaze cold and unwavering. “Then, do you understand the consequences of offending me?”

The gray-robed old man laughed angrily, “Fine, just you wait!”

He flicked his sleeve and walked away.

However, just as he took a single step, a massive hand reached out from behind, gripping him like a chick.

“What are you doing?!” shouted the gray-robed old man, his voice tinged with panic. As a supreme quasi-Emperor, the fact that he had failed to react in time left him both baffled and dazed.

“Let’s go meet the real owner of this ship.” As Lin Xun said this, he grabbed the old man in gray and marched off.

In the numerous rooms along the long corridor, countless creatures were startled, poking their heads out to see what was happening.

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp at the scene. That guy from the Cloud Spirit Clan is too ruthless. He actually dared to directly attack members of the Bi’an Clan!

It should be noted that in the True Dragon World, aside from the True Dragon Clan, which was akin to the supreme ruler, the nine imperial clans beneath the True Dragon Clan were also terrifying powers that no one dared to provoke.

The Bi’an Clan was one of those nine imperial clans!

Ignoring the countless gazes, Lin Xun carried the old man in gray directly to the upper deck, attracting countless astonished looks along the way.

In the distance, a magnificent palace loomed, with many guards stationed at its entrance, each armed and bearing fierce expressions.

Despite that, Lin Xun did not pause at all and just marched towards the main hall.

Behind him, countless creatures from various clans trailed along, watching intently. Clearly, Lin Xun’s actions had already stirred up a commotion on the ship.

“Stop right there!”

“You...how dare you attack Attendant Fu?”

The guards stationed outside the main hall also noticed Lin Xun approaching. They could hardly believe their eyes when they saw him carrying the gray-robed old man.

Rumble!

Before they could react, as Lin Xun approached, an invisible and terrifying force spread outward, pinning them to the ground one by one, leaving no one standing!

“So strong!”

“When did the Cloud Spirit Clan have such a fierce character?”

Cries of surprise echoed as the experts following behind were left stunned.

The guards on the ship were all above the Saint Stage, with some even at the Saint-King Stage. In their eyes, they were already extremely terrifying and formidable beings.

However, in Lin Xun’s eyes...

They were nothing special!

In the main hall, An Zheng who was calmly sipping tea while awaiting updates on the throne, furrowed his brow. He quickly sensed the unusual activity unfolding outside the hall.

He raised his head and looked over, only to see Lin Xun entering the hall, carrying the gray-robed old man.

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong. He sprang to his feet, his expression darkening, and asked, “Friend, what are you trying to do?”

Bang!

Lin Xun tossed the gray-robed old man aside like discarded trash. His gaze then swept the hall, quickly locking onto the man from the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan.

The latter looked confused, as if he had no idea what was going on.

“It turns out that the fish that escaped the net is here.” Lin Xun snapped his fingers.

The bewildered man from the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan turned to ash in an instant, his life extinguished before he even realized what was happening.

Lin Xun then turned his gaze to An Zheng and asked, “Are you the owner of this ship?”

Confronted by Lin Xun’s deep, dark eyes, An Zheng, who had always been arrogant and proud, was suddenly gripped by a feeling of fear. Goosebumps crawled across his skin as if he were being stared down by the god of death.

He took a deep breath and answered, “This ship belongs to our Bi’an Clan and I am in charge of this voyage. Friend, you should know what the words ‘Bi’an Clan’ mean.”

Lin Xun said calmly, “I was the one who killed those bastards of the Bloodthirsty Bat Clan. Now, do you still want to follow the rules?”

The atmosphere became heavy and suffocating, and An Zheng was filled with an unfamiliar sense of humiliation. His face twisted with fury. Since beginning his cultivation, when had he ever been threatened in such a way in his life?

On the other hand, he knew that anyone who dared to behave like this even knowing that this was a ship of their Bi’an Clan was definitely not someone to be messed with.

After inhaling deeply, he ran his eyes across the outside of the hall and bellowed, “Those who are here to watch, get lost!”

His voice was like a sudden thunderclap.

A wave of commotion erupted outside the hall. Faced with An Zheng’s fury, the creatures from various clans who had intended to watch quickly retreated, vanishing into the distance.

An Zheng then straightened his clothes, forced a smile, and gave a cupped fist salute. “Elder, let’s talk things over. If I have offended you earlier, I, An Zheng, would like to apologize to you.”

He bowed respectfully.

Even though Lin Xun looked extremely young, An Zheng was not sure whether he was an old monster who had lived for who knows how many years, so he addressed him as ‘elder.’

Lin Xun studied An Zheng for a moment and asked, “Do you know An Xue?”

An Zheng was taken aback, then he stood up straight and answered, “She’s an older sister in the clan.”

An Xue!

She was the most powerful figure of the younger generation in the Bi’an Clan, a genius maiden renowned across the nine imperial clans, and now one of the few peerless supreme quasi-Emperors in the True Dragon World!

In the Bi’an Clan, An Xue held a superior status, far surpassing that of her ‘younger brother.’

Lin Xun asked, “Do you know where the Dragon Palace of the True Dragon Clan is then?”

An Zheng shook his head, seemingly answering honestly, “The Dragon Palace is the most mysterious forbidden ground in the True Dragon World. Even those who know its location can’t enter without an invitation.”
