The Prodigies War

Chapter 1777: Gongyang Qi Put Up With Humiliation

There was utter silence on the sea of ​​clouds.

Nan Qiu’s expression changed indefinitely as she stared at Mu Xiuyuan.That was the man who dealt her an extremely heavy blow and humiliation by breaking off the engagement.

She could not understand why the other party would be so cruel. Even if he did not want to marry her, how could he hurt her like that?

Was it just because he was the number one disciple of the Tianxing Sword Sect?

The more Nan Qiu thought about it, the more indignant she felt and her body began to tremble. She could barely control herself.

In the distance, Mu Xiuyuan had clearly realized something, and he also noticed Nan Qiu’s furious gaze.

But he ignored it.

He just looked at Lin Xun with disbelief, as if he couldn’t imagine how someone would dare come to the Tianxing Sword Sect and behave in such a violent way.

“Fellow Daoist, Mu Xiuyuan is here,” Gongyang Qi said calmly.

At the same time, Mu Xiuyuan drew a deep breath to suppress his inner puzzlement and gave a cupped fist salute. “I am Mu Xiuyuan, greetings senior. If I have offended you in any way, please let me know.”

“Kneel,” Lin Xun commanded.

That one word struck everyone dumb.

Gongyang Qi narrowed his eyes. It’s obvious that he is deliberately trying to trample and humiliate Mu Xiuyuan!

Mu Xiuyuan’s expression tensed up and his handsome and fair face flushed red. “Senior, death is nothing, but I, Mu Xiuyuan, would rather die standing than live on my knees!”

His powerful and resounding voice echoed throughout the area.

Many cultivators in the city felt an upsurge of emotions. This is the elegance of the greatest sword cultivator of the younger generation!

At the same time, they felt disgust towards Lin Xun. Does he think that just because he’s strong, he can do whatever he wants and threaten others aggressively?

Lin Xun did not care. “Do you want to die standing? That would be letting you off too lightly. It’s better if you kneel on the ground.”

He pressed his hand downwards, and a terrifying force swept towards him.

“Fellow Daoist, let’s talk this through.”

Gongyang Qi interfered without hesitation. A purple cloud emerged and turned into a mighty torrent of sword qi to block the attack.

Rumble!

The purple sword qi dissipated like clouds.

Gongyang Qi’s pupils shrank. He was aghast at his terrifying power. Who is this boy and why is he so strong?

Bang!

Mu Xiuyuan was forced to his knees in midair. His King Stage power was simply not strong enough. If Lin Xun wanted to, he could have crushed his bones into ashes with that strike.

“Ah—”

Mu Xiuyuan hissed. His face flushed with embarrassment and fury. He had never suffered anything like this before.

As a privileged person, he never imagined being humiliated at the gate of the Tianxing Sword Sect.

The other Tianxing Sword Sect disciples were all ashen-faced and as silent as winter cicadas.

Gongyang Qi’s expression morphed indefinitely. He also felt an uncomfortable tight feeling in his chest. But in the end, he could only let out a long sigh. Given the unfavorable circumstances, he had no choice but to bow his head!

Everyone was dumbfounded in the city below. Mu Xiuyuan was forced onto his knees...

Some women who admired Mu Xiuyuan felt their hearts shatter to pieces.

Even Nan Qiu was stunned by Lin Xun’s domineering behavior. He overpowered Mu Xiuyuan with one move in front of the head of the Tianxing Sword Sect!

“It must not feel good.” Lin Xun spoke, his eyes unfathomable. “You must be furious inside and confused as to why I am doing this to you.”

“That’s right!” Mu Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, his face livid.

Lin Xun pointed to Nan Qiu who was standing beside him. “She’s Nan Qiu, and she is my younger sister. Now, do you understand?”

“What?!” Uproars and commotion broke out as many people’s faces twisted up in disbelief.

Nan Qiu was engaged to Mu Xiuyuan when she was born. Even if no one had ever seen her in person, who had not heard of her name?

Gongyang Qi’s countenance also changed, and his heart shook terribly. He realized the problem and all of a sudden he felt everything darkening before him.

This morning, on behalf of Mu Xiuyuan, the Tianxing Sword Sect entrusted the Cloud Fire Tribe to cancel the engagement with the Musang Tribe.

Now, retribution had come!

In the city, countless cultivators were struck dumb. Before this, they were still laughing about the canceled engagement and treating Nan Qiu as a joke. Their words were full of ridicule and mockery.

But at this moment, Nan Qiu appeared and stood in front of Mu Xiuyuan who was kneeling in midair!

“Impossible! When did Nan Qiu have an older brother like you?” Mu Xiuyuan shouted uncontrollably as if he was struck by lightning.

He struggled, trying to get up, but he was pinned to the spot in a humiliating kneeling position.

Lin Xun’s eyes flashed like ice. “Have you ever thought that your marriage annulment letter would ruin Nan Qiu’s life? You never thought about it because you think you are high and mighty, you can do whatever you want, and you have the support of the Tianxing Sword Sect. Why would you care about a woman from the Musang Tribe?”

His voice was indifferent, but it resounded in the cold, suffocating atmosphere. Many people’s expressions changed awkwardly.

Lin Xun continued, “When I forced you to kneel, I also didn’t think about whether it would ruin your life. I want you to have a taste of being humiliated and trampled upon.

“In short, this is retaliation. Now, do you understand?”

When his voice faded, the entire area became utterly silent.

Nan Qiu’s eyes welled up and indescribable emotions surged in her heart.

When she looked at Mu Xiuyuan kneeling in front of her like a prisoner, she felt not a shred of satisfaction of revenge, only disgust.

“I…I…”

Expressions flickered across Mu Xiuyuan’s face. In the end, he only coughed up blood and almost passed out with anger.

Shocked, Gongyang Qi could not care about anything else and swiftly took action to rescue Mu Xiuyuan.

“Fellow Daoist, you have retaliated, are you satisfied now?” Gongyang Qi drew a deep breath and asked.

Others also shifted their gazes to Lin Xun.

Duanmu Jiang, one of the six true disciples of the Tianxing Sword Sect, had been killed, Elder Zhuo Ming was also killed, and now Mu Xiuyuan was about to lose consciousness while kneeling.

His retaliation was already considered extremely violent and bloody.

But Lin Xun shook his head. “Without the support of the Tianxing Sword Sect, Mu Xiuyuan would never dare to go that far. So, your Tianxing Sword Sect must pay the price for this.”

This one sentence sent chills down Gongyang Qi, while the others flew into a towering rage. What is that guy treating our Tianxing Sword Sect as?

“I would like to use your place to meditate for a while, think of it as compensation from your Tianxing Sword Sect. What do you say, Fellow Daoist?

Lin Xun pointed to the Snowdrift Sacred Mountain in the distance.

Meditate?

Gongyang Qi was taken aback for a moment, then his expression eased tremendously. “Our Tianxing Sword Sect is honored to welcome you, Fellow Daoist, we are more than happy to do so.” He forced a smile.

Lin Xun took a deep look at Gongyang Qi. “If it weren’t for your good attitude, your Tianxing Sword Sect would have suffered an even greater loss today.”

Gongyang Qi’s lips twitched bitterly. What do you mean by good attitude? This is called putting up with humiliation in order to take revenge in the future!

……

Snowdrift Sacred Mountain.

Lin Xun spread out his spirit sense and almost instantly found a cave dwelling where aeth veins converged. He asked, “Fellow Cultivator, whose cave is that?”

Gongyang Qi quickly answered, “Fellow Daoist, if you like, feel free to meditate in there?”

Lin Xun smiled. “Then, I will take the offer.” With a flash, he went in.

As Gongyang Qi watched him disappear into the cave, his expression changed constantly. In the end, a long sigh escaped his lips and his face clouded over.

What kind of person has our Tianxing Sword Sect provoked this time?

“Fellow Daoist, there is one more thing that I need to trouble you with.” Lin Xun’s voice suddenly rang from afar.

Gongyang Qi’s heart tightened. “Fellow Daoist, please tell me.”

“My sister wants to take part in the Battle of Tianqu Kings. I hope you can make arrangements.”

Gongyang Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, “I’ll take care of it, fellow daoist won’t need to worry.”

Seeing that Lin Xun had no other orders for him, Gongyang Qi turned around and left in a hurry.

What happened today was no doubt a heavy blow to the reputation of the Tianxing Sword Sect.

The fact that Lin Xun, a terrifying character who did not play the usual cards, was still lingering around their Tianxing Sword Sect was a troublesome issue for Gongyang Qi. He knew that this tricky situation called for him to make arrangements as soon as possible and that he must not let any storms happen in the meantime.

When Gongyang Qi arrived at the main hall of the sect, a group of high-ranking members of the Tianxing Sword Sect had already gathered, waiting for him.

“Master, that man is ruthless and tyrannical. Are we just going to let him bully and rule over us?”

Many people protested at once. They were all seething with rage. Today, their sect’s reputation had been completely ruined.

Gongyang Qi’s face darkened and he thundered, “Shut up!”

Everyone hushed, and the atmosphere in the hall became still and silent.

“Issue the order that, from today onwards, no one is allowed to approach the blessed land in the back of the mountain. We must not disturb Fellow Daoist Lin’s meditation.”

After drawing a deep breath, he continued with another command, “In addition, during the Battle of Tianqu Kings, the cultivators from the Musang Tribe shall be treated as important guests and shall not be neglected or disrespected in any way. If I find out that anyone caused trouble for the Musang Tribe, then don’t blame me for what happens to them!”

His voice echoed throughout the hall like a thunderclap.

All the high-ranking members of the Tianxing Sword Sect were lost for words. They never imagined that their sect master would make such an arrangement after the sect suffered such humiliation.

But Gongyang Qi did not bother to explain, and just thought to himself. When the Battle of Tianqu Kings ends, a group of influential figures from the Alchemy Dao Sect in the Great Yu World will come. That’s when our Tianxing Sword Sect will get our revenge...

Thinking of this, Gongyang Qi’s emotions started to settle. He did some calculations in his mind, thinking about the sort of price he would have to pay to obtain the help of the influential figures from the Alchemy Dao Sect.

At the end of every Battle of Tianqu Kings, the most outstanding cultivators would be chosen and taken to train in the Great Yu World.

Over the years, several disciples of the Tianxing Sword Sect had taken advantage of this opportunity to join Alchemy Dao Sect, which benefited the Tianxing Sword Sect hugely.

For example, Gongyang Qi received several Disciple True Talismans from Alchemy Dao Sect, which was akin to having the protection of Alchemy Dao Sect.

However, Gongyang Qi also knew very well that this sort of protection was just deterrence, which might work on ordinary people, but if he wanted to deal with a terrifying person like Lin Xun, he would have to pay a high price, and perhaps then he could convince the influential figures of the Alchemy Dao Sect to help him.

“Just wait until the Battle of Tianqu Kings is over...” Gongyang Qi gnashed his teeth. How would he hold no grudge after suffering such a huge humiliation?
