Chapter 1045 Dignified Yan Zangqiu

Zhao Jingxuan arrived in a group with the other Spirit Treasure Holy Land disciples.

While Lin Xun’s attention was focused on Zhao Jingxuan, almost all the other heaven prides were attracted to the man beside her.

He was dressed in white clothes that made him look dignified, had eyebrows shaped like swords, eyes that twinkled like stars, and a figure that resembled a lone pine tree on a cliff. His clothes fluttered as he walked with a majestic gait akin to a dragon’s or tiger’s while also giving off the reserved aura of an unmatched expert.

His eyes were deep and calm, and an indistinct smile hung from the corners of his lips that made him resemble a spring breeze. In reality, however, he gave off a sensation of being high beyond reach.

He was so extraordinary that even the likes of Xiao Cangtian and Ye Chen were startled. A strange light flitted across their eyes when they clearly saw his appearance.

In the eyes of supreme path experts like them, the white-clothed man was something else altogether.

His seemingly thin figure contained a domineering, natural arrogance!

It was a type of absolute confidence that looked down on everything, like a king surveying his land with inviolable divine majesty.

Yan Zhanqiu!

A name simultaneously appeared in everyone’s minds.

The dignified man who gave off an extraordinary presence was a legend in his own right.

He was the current generation saint of Spirit Treasure Holy Land who was born from the Yan Saint Clan. Moreover, his mother’s side was rumored to be related to an ancient true dragon lineage.

Born with a Dragon Scale Rune Pattern on his back, he wielded the Eight Heavenly Dragons Dao, and was called the ‘Invincible True Dragon.’

At present, he was a supreme heaven pride who ranked third among the Ten Absolute Apex Giants of the East Victory World!

Who would dare to ignore such a supreme hegemon whose origin, background, foundation, talent, and combat power were all considered top-notch?

A’lu's eyes abruptly brightened as almost undetectable fiery battle intent flashed within them. It was as if he had finally found an opponent powerful enough to excite him.

On the other hand, Xiao Qinghe’s scalp turned numb as he inwardly cursed. He had not expected Yan Zhanqiu to actually come here.

Lin Xun was the only one who paid no attention to Yan Zhanqiu. It wasn’t intentional, but it was because he was only focused on Zhao Jingxuan at the moment.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jingxuan also noticed Lin Xun and was slightly stunned. Her clear, limpid eyes widened as a smile subconsciously spread from the corners of her lips.

Her black brows soon furrowed. Her lips parted slightly as she transmitted, ''You are way too bold. I can’t believe you still dared to come here after creating such a huge ruckus."

Her voice was as clear as stream water and pleasing to the ear.

Lin Xun soundlessly laughed. The familiar manner of speech that carried the same concern as before caused his originally nervous state of mind to relax inexplicably.

Lin Xun asked via voice-transmission, "You’re aware of what I did in Ink White Province?"

Zhao Jingxuan's eyes seemed to glimmer mischievously as she teased, "That's why I said you're way too bold. In fact, I would say you’re braver than back then."

Lin Xun couldn't help but smile, recalling how many people had called him Ballsy Lin in the Ziyao Empire.

"Oh right, you should be careful. Senior Brother Yan has also heard of what you’ve done and has even asked me about you."

Zhao Jingxuan suddenly cautioned, "Although he didn't reveal any emotions at that time, I’m certain that he must have already come to some kind of a decision a long time ago."

Toward the end, a touch of worry emerged between her brows. She earnestly urged, "You must be careful."

Lin Xun finally took notice of Yan Zhanqiu. Even he had to admit that the latter was an extremely powerful existence that made him feel an indescribable pressure.

It was the first time he had felt such pressure since arriving at the foot of the Immortal Sacred Mountain, and he instantly realized that Yan Zhanqiu was not your run-of-the-mill supreme heaven pride.

It wouldn’t even be far-fetched to say he was the most powerful supreme path expert Lin Xun had encountered so far!

However, Lin Xun quickly collected his thoughts and voice-transmitted, "I’ll be fine. After all, haven’t I experienced all kinds of trials before? Back when I left the Return Dominion, I was chased all over the place by a bunch of old King stage monsters. However, I still survived in the end, didn’t I? A line-up like this doesn’t scare me at all."

Zhao Jingxuan huffed a little and said, ''I didn't realize that you’ve become so cocky in the few years since we last met. Is it the influence of that narcissistic Toady?"

Toady...

Lin Xun's forehead immediately creased. He was far inferior to Toady in the areas of narcissism, arrogance, smugness, and shamelessness. That guy was so smug that he could even make the gods angry!

At present, Toady was still locked away in secluded cultivation in the Nameless Pagoda. Otherwise, he would be yammering to fight Lin Xun after hearing his true thoughts.

While conversing via voice-transmission, Yan Zhanqiu led Zhao Jingxuan and the others to the foot of the Immortal Sacred Mountain. Many disciples from ancient orthodoxies took the initiative to approach and greet Yan Zhanqiu, creating a rather bustling scene.

Yan Zhanqiu politely greeted them one by one while displaying a humble demeanor.

He smiled brightly and said, ''This Little Giants List Competition cycle is truly a gathering of stars with as many heaven prides as trees in a forest. In fact, I would call it unprecedented. At the very least, I never saw so many powerful individuals when I participated in the Little Giants List Competition back in my day."

Numerous people laughed in agreement. It was a form of recognition of Yan Zhanqiu's status and strength.

"It’s a pity that I am already over thirty and have already participated in such an event, so I no longer have the chance to participate again. Otherwise, I would have loved to spar with all of my fellow cultivators from the Four Great Worlds."

These words made the atmosphere increasingly relaxed.

It dawned upon the crowd that Yan Zhanqiu was already one of the Ten Absolute Apex Giants of the East Victory World. Hence, it was impossible for him to participate in the Little Giants List Competition.

This made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother Yan, that’s Lin Xun!"

A voice filled with strong hatred suddenly rang out, causing the atmosphere to change.

The speaker was a red-robed youth. It was none other than Su Xingfeng. His expression was stormy as he resentfully stared at Lin Xun in the distance as if wishing he could eat the latter alive.

A few days prior, he had been knocked unconscious by Lin Xun and hung on the city walls for everyone to see. It was a huge loss of face and reputation for him.

As expected, here it comes!

The crowd displayed various expressions. They had long since expected such a scene to occur.

Yan Zhanqiu softly acknowledged as his gaze shifted toward Lin Xun.

Although he appeared calm, a horrifying pressure emerged the moment he set eyes on Lin Xun.

The surrounding space wailed as if struggling under an unbearable burden and the weather began to change.

Yan Zhanqiu seemed to transform into another person in an instant. There was no trace of his previous calmness and humility. Instead, he displayed a tyrannical presence that stirred the clouds and looked down on heaven and earth. Many experts began to struggle to breathe in the presence of such an overbearing pressure.

Lin Xun bore the brunt of the crazy pressure. His skin instinctively tightened as his black, abyss-like eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked as calm as ever, completely unaffected.

It shouldn’t be surprising. After all, he had faced numerous King stage old monsters over the past few years and their endlessly terrifying pressures. Although Yan Zhanqiu's pressure was strong, how could it possibly be stronger than a King stage old monster’s?

Hence, it was naturally impossible for Lin Xun to be intimidated or shaken.

The atmosphere was deathly silent, and the air seemed to have frozen over as everyone felt an invisible hand slowly squeeze their hearts.

Although Yan Zhanqiu was merely quietly standing there and observing Lin Xun, no one dared to carelessly speak out due to the pressure he gave off.

Zhao Jingxuan lightly bit her lips while her clear eyes were tinged with a trace of imperceptible worry. She was well aware of how amazing Yan Zhanqiu's combat power was.

There would be unimaginable consequences if Lin Xun was targeted by such a terrifying individual.

"You and Junior Sister Jingxuan are old friends?" Yan Zhanqiu finally opened his mouth moments later, only to ask a question that caught everyone completely off guard.

"Yeah." Lin Xun nodded as he calmly met Yan Zhanqiu's gaze.

Yan Zhanqiu asked with interest, "How is your relationship?"

"It’s great."

Yan Zhanqiu followed up, "How great?"

Lin Xun thought about it and seriously answered, "It's better than you think."

As they listened to the question-and-answer exchange between the duo, several people who understood the relationship between Yan Zhanqiu and Zhao Jingxuan began to display strange expressions.

They would never forget the incident where a disciple from one of the Hidden Holy Lands traveled to the Spirit Treasure Holy Land to propose a marriage with Zhao Jingxuan. The result was Yan Zhanqiu suddenly leaving his closed cultivation.

He ignored all objections from the higher-ups and brutally beat the Hidden Holy Land disciple half-dead before throwing him out at the entrance of Three Clear Mountains!

At that time, Yan Zhanqiu even declared, "In the future, whoever dares to have any designs on Zhao Jingxuan must first pass through me. There will be no exception, even the arrival of the old bastardly heavens will be met with violence!"

As such, Lin Xun claiming outright that he had a great relationship with Zhao Jingxuan in front of Yan Zhanqiu was equivalent to stabbing him in his sore spot!

"Demon God Lin is outrageously brave. To think he would dare to have designs on the woman Yan Zhanqiu views as his exclusive property. Is he tired of living?"

Many experts secretly wet their lips.

When Zhao Jingxuan saw this, an almost unnoticeable blush of embarrassment flashed across her pretty face as a hint of agitation appeared in her eyes. She was annoyed and frustrated by Lin Xun's directness and boldness while also worried about the consequences of his actions.

"Junior Sister Jingxuan, is what he says true?"

Yan Zhanqiu remained composed, his black eyes as calm as a lake.

However, the pressure emanating from him grew increasingly terrifying, causing the nearby space to collapse inch by inch.

One could vaguely see strands of cryptic, terrifying Law Power flickering amidst the collapsing space.

A mere strand of such power would make anyone’s scalp turn numb and feel as if their internal organs were about to split open.

Clearly, Yan Zhanqiu’s aura was so powerful and dangerous that it incited a reaction from the Laws of the domain!

Even Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, and the other elite supreme heaven prides were unable to maintain their composure.

This scene alone showed just how powerful Yan Zhanqiu was!

However, Yan Zhanqiu seemed oblivious to the life-threatening danger of the Law Power as he continued to quietly stare at Lin Xun while waiting for Zhao Jingxuan’s reply.
