The Prodigies War-Chapter 2223 Give Up?

Golden Leaf City was extremely large, covering tens of thousands of miles. Its streets were as dense as a spider web, and buildings were lined up one after another.

Despite that, Lin Xun and his companions did not have to wait too long before a group of important figures from the Imperial True Hou Clan moved through the void.

A murderous aura surrounded them, disturbing the wind and clouds, which also caused a sensation in the city.

Their leader was a purple-robed man with a long beard. His eyes were green with a fierce and cold luster, and his whole body was filled with the terrifying power of an Emperor.

They were mighty and roared from the sky above the city, appearing extremely ostentatious and powerful.

"Someone has dared to come to our city to make trouble. I think he is tired of living!" said a man with green hair in a grim voice.

The others also revealed fierce and angry expressions.

In the True Dragon World, the True Dragon Clan was respected, and in Golden Leaf City, their Imperial True Hou Clan was respected!

Despite that, there were lowly humans coming to make trouble right now, which made these members of the Imperial True Hou Clan feel a bit of disbelief.

When did those bastards of the human race gain the guts to be so arrogant?

"Hey, they didn't run away!"

Soon, they saw Lin Xun and others standing on the top of the city, and they couldn't help but be surprised again.

The purple-robed man in the lead frowned, feeling something was wrong. "Don't act rashly."

"Ancestor, what are you afraid of? This is the territory of our True Hou Clan. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he would have to lie down and be respectful!!" shouted the man as he rushed forward. "I'll go and try out those bastards first!"

Swish!

He quickly came to the top of the city. He glanced at Lin Xun and others and then said in a grim voice, "It's you bastards..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xi snap her fingers.

Bang!

The arrogant and fierce guy immediately exploded in midair, and blood rained down like a waterfall.

Lin Xun, Xia Zhi, and Big Yellow all looked calm and ignored what had happened.

In the distance, the purple-robed man and the other members of the True Hou Clan were all in disbelief. Killing someone from their clan without a word?

They had never encountered such an arrogant and powerful enemy!

"The real city lord is here. Do you want to do it or should I?" Xi asked in a cold voice.

"Let me do it."

Lin Xun walked forward and was about to say something when he saw the purple-robed man in the lead bowing and saluting as he proclaimed out of fear and trepidation, "I am Hou Tianxing from the True Hou Clan. Greetings, seniors!"

The True Hou members around him were all stunned and almost jumped up. What was going on?

In the distant city, all the people of various races who had witnessed this were dumbfounded. Battle Emperor Tianxing of the True Hou Clan was actually saluting those lowly humans?

This was simply too crazy!

If word of this got out, what would happen to the prestige of the True Hou Clan?

However, many experts also realized that the situation was not right. Those human experts...may not be comparable to ordinary cultivators!

"Not going to take action?" Lin Xun smiled.

Hou Tianxing was sweating profusely as he said fearfully, "We were blind earlier, so I hope that you seniors will forgive us."

Big Yellow sneered, "A great Emperor is this scared. How cowardly!"

Hou Tianxing was embarrassed, lowered his head, and became even more humble, "If you don't mind, then please follow me to visit the clan. No matter what, this time it was my True Hou Clan who made the mistake first, so we should make up for it."

"Okay." Lin Xun nodded in agreement.

Hou Tianxing immediately became relieved. He revealed a warm smile and said, "Seniors, please follow me."

Immediately, he led the way, and Lin Xun and his group followed him.

As an overlord who controlled this gargantuan territory, the Imperial True Hou Clan was not located in Golden Leaf City, but instead they were in a beautiful mountain range that was about four hundred miles away from it. That place could be considered a famous mountain range and blessed land.

In the mountains, spiritual clouds flowed, divine light permeated, waterfalls flowed, ancient trees were scattered throughout, and old temples could be seen everywhere.

Hou Tianxing brought Lin Xun and his party into a hall. After they sat down, Hou Tianxing apologized repeatedly, and then asked Lin Xun and his party about their purpose for coming here.

Lin Xun had nothing to hide, so he told them that he wanted to go to where the True Dragon Clan was .

"What are you going to do with the True Dragon Clan?" Hou Tianxing couldn't help asking.

Big Yellow said coldly, "Is this something you can ask?"

Hou Tianxing immediately became more timid as he explained, "Seniors, to be honest, the True Dragon Clan is located deep in the East Sea at a place called the world of the Dragon Palace, but we, the members of the Imperial True Hou Clan, don't know exactly where this place is."

Seeing that Lin Xun had begun to frown, Hou Tianxing hurriedly added, "But don't worry, I can contact the True Dragon Clan's experts."

"How long will it take?" Lin Xun asked bluntly.

"Ten days, no, three days!" Hou Tianxing said, "In the True Dragon World, it is not easy to get members of the True Dragon Clan to come, so I am hoping for your understanding."

Lin Xun nodded and said, "Then I’ll have to thank you."

Hou Tianxing smiled and said, "Seniors, it is fine as long as you don’t take us to task for our previous mistakes."

Next, Lin Xun asked some more questions.

Hou Tianxing was very cooperative and told them everything he knew.

This allowed Lin Xun to quickly get an overview of the True Dragon World’s overall situation, but when Lin Xun asked about why Dragon Emperor Mingluo had decreed that all of the humans who had been living there to be criminals, Hou Tianxing could only shake his head and tell him that he didn’t know.

"One hundred thousand years ago, Dragon Emperor Mingluo was the leader of the True Dragon Clan and the only ruler of this world. Which tribe would dare to go against his decision?"

Hou Tianxing continued, "Because of this incident, rumors say that there had been a huge internal conflict within the True Dragon Clan, but in the end it was suppressed by Dragon Emperor Mingluo alone."

Lin Xun then asked, "So, the order to decree all humans as sinners was the decision of Dragon Emperor Mingluo alone?"

Hou Tianxing smiled weakly and replied, "I dare not comment on this."

Before long, Lin Xun asked about the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly that had been held decades ago.

Hou Tianxing knew a bit of news about this.

The Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly was an unprecedented event for the True Dragon Lineage. That year, it had caused a sensation throughout the world.

However, only members of the True Dragon Clan and the nine great imperial clans that were attached to the True Dragon Lineage could participate in such a grand event.

The nine great imperial clans all had some sort of blood relationship with the True Dragon Clan, and they all bowed down to the True Dragon Lineage.

They were the Hornless Ice Dragon, Bi'an, Bixi, Pulao, Suanni, Baxia, Qiuniu, Chaofeng, and Yazi!

When Lin Xun learned this, a strange look surfaced on his face. In his youth, he had obtained the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, and the nine transformations happened to have the same names as those of the nine imperial clans.

Was this a coincidence?

Definitely not!

In fact, when Ao Zhentian and Yin Huan had gone to the Ancient Wasteland Domain to pick up Zhao Jingxuan, they had told him that the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations was a secret of the True Dragon Clan and a taboo inheritance![1]

Furthermore, this inheritance had been left by Lu Boya in the Ziyao Empire.

Similarly, the empress of the Ziyao Empire, Zhao Jingxuan's mother, was a direct descendant of the True Dragon Lineage. According to Ao Zhentian at the time, Zhao Jingxuan's mother was the biological sister of the leader of the True Dragon Clan!

In other words, Zhao Jingxuan also had the blood of the True Dragon Lineage flowing in her.

This was the reason why Lin Xun had allowed Zhao Jingxuan to leave with Ao Zhentian and go to the True Dragon World to participate in the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly.

According to Hou Tianxing, a shocking event had occurred at the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly that had kicked off decades ago. Therefore, all the news of this grand meeting had been blocked by the True Dragon Clan.

To this day, the outside world had different opinions on what had actually happened at the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly, and there was no clear answer.

It was also from that time that the True Dragon Lineage had sent a group of old antiques to completely disrupt the path between the True Dragon World and the Ancient Nebula Road!

At this point, Hou Tianxing also frowned and said, "At that time, all the races in the world were very curious about what happened at the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly, but the True Dragon Clan had actually destroyed the path to the Ancient Nebula Road. This was too abnormal."

Big Yellow laughed, "Could it be that the True Dragon Lineage was worried that someone will come from the Ancient Road Nebula to kill them? Or, that the consequences of this incident would cause some troubles, and those troubles were related to the Ancient Nebula Road?"

He was only throwing out thoughts flippantly, but those who heard them suddenly became interested. Lin Xun's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but think that the True Dragon World truly had very little contact with the Ancient Nebula Road.

At that time, Jingxuan had gone from the Ancient Nebula Road to the True Dragon World in order to participate in the Thousand Dragon Celestial Assembly, but then something big happened there...

There were too many coincidences here.

After chatting for a while, Hou Tianxing got up and left, saying that he was going to contact the experts of the True Dragon Clan, and asked Lin Xun and others to wait here for three days.

It was not until Hou Tianxing left that Big Yellow snorted coldly, "That guy's panic just now was all fake."

Xi also said, "Also, after we entered this palace, many will powers had secretly spied on the situation here."

Lin Xun nodded and said calmly, "This is an ancient imperial clan that controls thirty million miles of territory, so how could it be possible for them to bow down to us without testing us first?"

After a pause, he continued, "Furthermore, the people in this True Dragon World regard humans as lowly slaves, so an ancient and powerful force like the Imperial True Hou Clan is destined to never bow down to us sincerely."

"Then why did you agree to his arrangements?" Big Yellow said unhappily.

"No venture, no gain. If he honestly helps us to contact the True Dragon Clan, then I won't bother with him. If he is not honest..."

Lin Xun smiled as he gazed at Big Yellow, Xi, and Xia Zhi, saying calmly, "Then I’ll teach him how to be more honest."

They continued to talk to each other, all using voice transmission, so as not to be overheard.

At the same time, in an ancient palace covered with heavy forbidden power, a group of old monsters of the True Hou Clan had gathered.

They all looked cold and gloomy, with icy light flashing in their eyes.

They had already known what had happened in front of Golden Leaf City and the death of quasi-Emperor Hou Kui. After this session of observation just now, they also concluded that this man, two women, and a dog were all Emperors from the human race.

As for how strong they are, they couldn’t tell. What was certain was that they could visit the True Hou Clan openly and calmly. Based on this alone, it was obvious that they were definitely not comparable to ordinary Emperors!

This also made them feel extremely conflicted and hesitant.

At this moment, Hou Tianxing pushed the door open and walked in.
