Xie Yutang''s hands quietly clenched into fists as indescribable shame and indignation welled up within him.


    A youngster who he had always thought to be insignificant had be the astonishing and sensational Demon God Lin, which was simply uneptable!


    Even Zhuo Kuann was silent for a moment before he softlyughed and said, "If so, I would also like to spar with him to witness his capability. I hope...he’ll have the chance to participate in the Dao Lantern Festival."


    The other Feather Sword Sect disciples looked at each other.


    It was hard to believe that a youngster from the lower ne had caused such a bigmotion. Not only had he roused the interest of the Fifth Crown Prince of the Fire Crow n, Lu Jiuge, but even one of the Feather Sword Sect’s five true disciples, Zhuo Kuann, seemed to have also begun to pay attention to him. This caught the other Feather Sword Sect disciplespletely off guard.


    "If you dare to appear at the Dao Lantern Festival, I will make sure to personally defeat you first!" Hatred surged in Xie Yutang’s heart as he gnashed his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.


    ……


    "Brother, what happened in the restaurant?"


    Outside the Drunken Flower Restaurant, an expert from the Windspeaker n started poking around like a cat that had smelled something fishy.


    Once he learned everything he wanted to know, the Windspeaker n expert became so excited that his eyes started glowing as he grinned from ear to ear.


    Big news!


    Absolutely breaking news!


    This Windspeaker expert could already imagine how much of amotion would ensue when he spread the news and how it would draw everyone’s attention.


    He promptly made the decision to leave, intending to immediately head to the News Tree to post the news.


    However, he was stopped just as he was about to move. "You''re going to publicize the news?"


    "Why are you asking if you already know? Quit wasting my time and get out of the way."


    This Windspeaker expert impatiently retorted, only to suddenly jump in fright when he saw the appearance of the person who had stopped him. He stammered, "Lin...Lin...uh..."


    Before he could say anything else, his mouth immediately snapped shut under Lin Xun’s re.


    Lin Xun asked "What''s your name? "


    "Bao Xiaoxing."


    "Good name."


    Bao Xiaoxing asked, "Heh heh, Lin...Young Master Lin, is there something I can do for you?"


    "Do me a favor and help me announce that I have no intention of making an enemy of the entire ck Nightmare Sky Dog n, but if they refuse to stop, don''t me me for not showing any more courtesy!"


    "Young Master Lin, may I ask how exactly you will stop being courteous?" Bai Xiaoxing was itching with curiosity.


    Lin Xun disyed a sunny smile and jokingly said, "Perhaps I’ll one day ughter all the ck Nightmare Dogs in the world?"


    Bai Xiaoxing’s jaw dropped. This was no longer anywhere near the realm of rudeness, but instead, it was a bold promation that he’d exterminate the entire ck Nightmare Sky Dog n!


    He couldn''t help but ask, "Young Master, are you...joking?"


    "You can take it as a joke." Lin Xun chuckled before he drifted off.


    However, he would never have been able to imagine the hugemotion Bai Xiaoxing would soon cause shortly after Lin Xun left Snow Maple City!


    ……


    "Demon God Lin appeared in Snow Maple City and decimated a group of ck Nightmare Sky Dog n experts!"


    "Meanwhile, Demon God Lin has also announced that he has no intention of making an enemy of the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n, but if they refuse to back down, he will one day ughter all the ck Nightmare Dogs in the world!"


    On this day, a certain piece of news threw the entire Snow Maple City into an uproar.


    "Demon God Lin is simply too awesome and domineering. Who in the world would dare to fearlessly threaten the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n like him?"


    Many cultivators marveled, believing that Lin Xun was full of swag.


    "In all my years, I have never seen any younger generation cultivator dere war on the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n like Demon God Lin. The younger generation does indeed surpass the old!"


    Several older-generation practitioners sighed deeply.


    "Hmph, he’s only risen to fame recently and already thinks he’s invincible? People easily break if they surpass their threshold. An arrogant person like him is akin to a shooting star that is destined to fall after shining gloriously. He won’t live for long at this rate!"


    There were also cultivators who disapproved, believing Lin Xun had made a stupid move. Facing the entire ck Nightmare Sky Dog n alone was no different from trying to smash a rock with an egg or an ant trying to shake a tree. Cmity would likely befall him soon.


    In any case, the news that shook the city spread to the entire Yunmeng Province at an rming speed.


    Several ck Nightmare Sky Dog n experts nearly exploded in anger upon hearing the news. ughter all the ck Nightmare Dogs in the world?


    He should be put to death for daring to say such a thing!


    They were also upset with the Windspeaker n. What kind of insulting message was this? Was this something that can be said by the likes of you guys?


    Upon realizing that things were getting bad for them, the Windspeaker n experts hurriedly spread another message. "Please do not misunderstand, friends of the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n. This statement is purely Demon God Lin’s words and does not represent the attitude of our Windspeaker n!"


    Regardless, the news made such a huge stir that it even drew the attention of many major powers, who began to investigate Lin Xun''s identity and background.


    For a time, Lin Xun was like aet that had appeared in the sky and formally entered the eyes of many major powers.


    However, the West Infinity World was far too big with its thousands of provinces. Although the series of news regarding Lin Xun was sensational, their influence was limited to a certain area, and his fame had not yet reached the point of shaking the entire West Infinity World.


    It was no surprise, however, that more and more cultivators and factions in the West Infinity World would learn of Lin Xun''s existence.


    After all, this was the power of fame.


    Among the younger generation, there were those who became famous for their superb talent, while there were others who became known due to their status and background.


    There were also people like Lin Xun who carved their own bloody reputation through fighting and killing.


    It had been less than half a year since he arrived at the West Infinity World, so he could be considered ate starter among his peers. Although his reputation was growing, he was still a long way behind some of the most famous supreme heaven prides of the West Infinity World.


    Of course, this was only limited to fame and influence and notbat power.


    ……


    Three glittering icy leaves hung from the main trunk of the News Tree, each projecting different images.


    On the first leaf, Lin Xun was akin to a demon god as he fought a mysterious masked girl in the sky.


    The second leaf was the bounty notice from the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n. It gave off a bloody and murderous aura that would make anyone’s heart shiver.


    The third leaf disyed the news of Lin Xun killing a group of ck Nightmare Sky Dog n experts at the Drunken Flower Restaurant. It also included Lin Xun''s deration against the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n.


    The Feather Sword Sect disciples, the Fifth Crown Prince of the Fire Crow n, Lu Jiuge, and others stood before the tree, silently gazing at the different messages on the three leaves.


    An invisible aura suddenly unfurled from Lu Jiuge, causing his fiery-red robes to p violently as a sharp light shed in his eyes.


    The nearby cultivators were frightened by the change and hurriedly backed away as their expressions changed drastically.


    At the same time, peerless sword will burst out from Zhuo Kuann and shot straight into the sky!


    His ck hair fluttered around his straight as a sword figure. The intimidating presence he gave off caused the nearby crowd’s hearts to tremble as they gasped.


    However, both Lu Jiuge and Zhuo Kuann appeared oblivious to these changes, their unblinking eyes still glued to the battle scene on the first leaf.


    "To think that it would even arouse their fighting intent..."


    Some of the more discerning cultivators immediately realized that the change in Lu Jiuge’s and Zhuo Kuann’s auras was due to the battle ying out on the first leaf.


    It was a subtle reaction between fellow supreme heaven prides that only individuals who had reached their level could experience.


    Xie Yutang’s heart churned at the sight of this, feeling increasingly angry and hateful. He could not imagine how Lin Xun had grown so fast!


    That overwhelming supreme aura that seemed to look down on the entire world made his heart shake.


    When he saw the unintentional changes in Zhuo Kuann’s and Lu Jiuge’s auras, Xie Yutang wondered if he was trapped in some kind of dream.


    Didn’t this mean that Lin Xun already possesses the potential and foundations to challenge Senior Brother Zhuo and Lu Jiuge?


    No!


    Impossible!


    How can he have grown so quickly in a few years?


    Xie Yutang refused to ept it. He desperately wanted to meet Lin Xun and face him in battle!


    Only by defeating Lin Xun would he be able to unravel this ‘knot’ in his heart!


    It could perhaps already be called a heart-demon. If he did not cut it, it would be a shackle that constrained his cultivation.


    Xie Yutang was very intelligent and talented. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to attain his current heights. Hence, he instantly judged that Lin Xun had be his heart-knot and would forever cast a shadow in his heart and mind if not defeated!


    For cultivators, this was akin to a disaster and would gravely affect their cultivation or even cause them to be stuck and unable to progress!


    However, Xie Yutang never imagined even in his wildest dreams that there woulde a day when a teenager he had always disregarded would affect his heart and mind...


    It was at this moment that Lu Jiuge suddenly gave an evaluation of Lin Xun, "If he survives the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n, he will definitely be a supreme individual among the West Infinity World''s younger generation who is impossible to ignore."


    "The battle for the great age is indeed approaching. Even an unknown youngster can rise like aet...I wonder how many more like him there are out there?"


    Zhuo Kuann muttered, his eyes filled with intimidating divine light.


    Almost as if they were of one mind Zhuo Kuann and Lu Jiuge nced at each other, seeing each other’s inner thoughts.


    Lin Xun’s appearance was akin to finding a new rival they couldpete with!


    Of course, this was only if he could survive the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n. Otherwise, everything else would be meaningless.


    On that same evening, group after group of ck Nightmare Riders appeared in Snow Maple City one after another. These ck Nightmare Sky Dog n experts were brimming with murderous intent as they gathered, covering the entire Snow Maple City in a tense atmosphere akin to the calm before a storm.


    Everyone realized that Demon God Lin’s actions hadpletely enraged the ck Nightmare Sky Dog n!
