635 Four Years

The empty space distorted, forming a black tunnel. There were already over adozen figures that had already arrived through it. Lin Dong’s eyes werecurrently glued onto a spot at the front of the group, where a beautiful figurestood.

The beautiful figure was wearing a light green dress which complimented hertall, soft and lovely body. Even from a distance away, one could see herflawless snow white skin. A piece of gauze covered her face but the outline ofher almost perfect features were still visible. Paired with her flowing eyes,it made the world seem as if it had lost its colors.

Barefooted, she gently stood atop a green lotus like a daughter of the moonpalace or a fairy that had fallen to the mortal realm. A sight that could nothelp but make many feel inferior.

This appearance was exactly the same as four years ago. However, her colddemeanor was even colder than it was back then.

Huuu!

Lin Dong’s body trembled slightly as he raised his head and exhaled deeply. Heforcefully suppressed his heart, which had not felt so restless in a long time.

Unknowingly, four years had passed since then.

The immature youth back then had unwittingly become a young man. He had walkedout from a low rank empire and arrived at this Ancient Battlefield wheregeniuses were as numerous as the clouds. In the end, he managed to stand aboveeveryone else.

When Little Marten had instigated Lin Dong to participate in the HundredEmpire War and be honed by it, the former knew that Lin Dong had agreed partlybecause of one sentence the the lady known as Ling Qingzhu had said…

“If you wish to repay me for rescuing you, we can talk about it after youpossess the qualifications to participate in the Hundred Empire War.”

“Lin Dong, hopefully, you will not be so weak the next time we meet. Someonetruly strong does not merely rely on his tongue…”

Little Marten clearly understood that with Lin Dong’s character, it wasbasically impossible for him to take such words from those around him to heartunder normal circumstances. However, it was clear that Lin Dong had difficultyignoring these words from the first woman in his life.

Although part of the reason for Lin Dong’s efforts over the years was to raisehis strength and protect his family, perhaps only Lin Dong himself was awarethat deep within his heart, he was haunted by the pride of a man.

He did not wish to be looked down upon by those clear eyes.

Yet, he was also aware of the enormous gap between his status and LingQingzhu’s. The latter was able to easily attain what he had to spend a greateffort to on. Moreover, her talent made many geniuses pale in comparison.

She was a truly a lady blessed by the heavens. How could it be easy to catchup and surpass her?

If it were not for that absurd situation in the ancient tomb back then, LinDong believed that he and Ling Qingzhu might never have interacted with eachother.

However, there was no ‘if’ in this world. Hence, two parallel lines changedtheir original trajectory, while Lin Dong had also dedicated all his effortinto making himself powerful.

Ling Qingzhu had believed that it was impossible for him to defeat LinLangtian back then. However, the genius who was once the most dazzling personof the Lin Clan, had already been completely been wiped out by Lin Dong earlier.

Ling Qingzhu had believed that it was impossible for him to attain the rightto participate in the Hundred Empire War back then. However, at this verymoment, no one dared to deny that Lin Dong was this Hundred Empire War’schampion and had also become the most dazzling existence in this Hundred EmpireWar…

The current Lin Dong was also no longer that same innocent youth who had neverseen the world. In this Ancient Battlefield, he had became aware of how smalland weak the Great Yan Empire was. He also understood just how someone of LingQingzhu status had viewed those so called geniuses from the Great Yan Empireback then.

Lin Dong did not wish to act triumphantly in front of the woman who had leftsuch a deep mark on his heart. All he wanted to do was to let the latterunderstand, that the weak youth in her eyes back then, would definitely exceedher expectations.

Lin Dong’s looked at the elegant figure with a cold fairy like demeanorstanding on a green lotus. A moment later, he suddenly smiled and slowlydescended from the sky.

“Oh? It was extremely difficult for you to meet her again. Yet, you didn’t goand greet her?” Little Marten teasingly stared at Lin Dong and said. He hadalso recognised Ling Qingzhu. Moreover, he also understood just what kind ofmark this woman had left on Lin Dong’s heart.

“It is still a little early…”

Lin Dong softly replied. He could sense an extremely powerful pressure fromLing Qingzhu. It was clear that Lin Qingzhu had become much stronger comparedto four years ago. Even the current Lin Dong was still unable to match up toher.

This kind of result did not cause Lin Dong to despair. Ling Qingzhu was achild blessed by the heavens. It was within reason to have such an achievementin four years.

Moreover, the reason Lin Dong chose not to meet her was not because he feltinferior. It was because he had said back then that the next time he appeared,he would directly tell her that a woman that he had slept with, would be hisforever…

Currently, Lin Dong did not think that he possessed the qualifications to saythese words. The current him was no longer the arrogant and ignorant youth fromback then.

However, this meeting had at least allowed Lin Dong to know that there wasstill a gap between them. However, this gap was no longer as vast as before.

This beautiful figure no longer caused him to feel a distant and untouchablefeeling in his heart like before.

“There will definitely be an opportunity to meet in the future.” Lin Dongraised his head and stared at the cold figure in the distance while he slowlyspoke.

“Damnit!”

Zheng Zhong’s expression was rather twisted as he watched the distortedspaces. From these spots, he could sense the auras many experts becomingincreasingly clearer. It was obvious that their plan this time around had beencompletely exposed.

“They have arrived rather quickly…” Wu Dao was also a little surprised. Heimmediately smiled towards Zheng Zhong and said, “Looks like your plans thistime have failed again.”

“Bastard!”

Zheng Zhong’s face was steely green, and an incomparable rage boiled in hisheart. They had laid in waiting for so long, however, all their hard work waswasted in the end.

“Since you are here, there is no need to leave. Our ‘Yuan Gate’ will representthe Eastern Xuan Region to trial you properly!” Liu Tong laughed coldly.Currently, the situation of Zheng Zhong’s group had completely turned around.

“Consider us unlucky this time around. However, whether we remain behind isnot something that you, Liu Tong, is qualified to decide.” Zheng Zhong mocked.

“You still dare to act tough at such a time!” Liu Tong was extremely furious.He stepped forward as majestic Yuan Power surged out and directly transformedinto a Yuan Power light plate. The plate flashed, tearing through the skiestowards Zheng Zhong at a terrifying speed.

“Everyone, attack together. Do not allow them to escape!” Liu Tong also criedout when he attacked.

“Humph!”

Zheng Zhong’s expression was dark and solemn. His hand seal changed and theblack cloud in the sky wiggled. Finally, an enormous black crack was torn inthe space. Black light surged out from within the crack. In the end, ittransformed into a black scroll that hovered in front of Zheng Zhong. Anextremely frightening ripple was continuously spread out from within the blackscroll.

“Heaven Sealing Array?”

Liu Tong’s expression immediately changed when he saw the black scroll. Therewas a rich greed deep within his eyes.

Swoosh!

The black scroll shook gently and a black light pillar shot out. It sweptdownwards and shattered Liu Tong’s attack. Immediately, Zheng Zhong’s hand sealchanged. Circular black light wildly swept out from the scroll, forming into anarray under their feet.

“Heh, the Eastern Xuan Region does indeed live up to its reputation. You willbe allowed to manage this Ancient Battlefield for a while longer. However, inthe next big Xuan Region battle, this entire space shall belong to my WesternXuan Region. Haha!” Zheng Zhong laughed coldly at Liu Tong’s group when theformation took shape.

“They plan on escaping!”

Liu Tong’s expression changed immediately upon seeing this scene. He was justabout to attack when monstrous black light erupted from the array. Black lightpillars instantly wrapped around Zheng Zhong’s group. After which, a rippingsound appeared. Space was torn and the array disappeared into nowhere. All theexperts from the Western Xuan Region, including Zheng Zhong, also disappearedat the same time.

“Bastard!”

Liu Tong immediately cursed furiously after seeing Zheng Zhong’s group swaggeraway.

“Deacon Liu Tong, no need to be so furious. They possess the Heaven SealingArray after all. No one can stop them if they truly wish to leave…” Wu Daosmiled and spoke in an indifferent manner.

“I think that we should continue with the Hundred Empire War. However, Ibelieve that there is already a prime candidate for the champion spot.”

“Humph!”

Liu Tong snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this. His eyes were alittle gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.

“They’ve escaped…”

The experts from the various super sects felt a little regretful as theywatched Zheng Zhong and the others flee. However, they could do nothing aboutit.

“A wasted trip. Let’s pack up and leave.”

Some of the disciples from the super sects were not interested in staying anylonger. All of them bowed towards the elders from their sects in the distancebefore turning around to leave.

“We should also leave…”

Atop a green lotus near a distorted space, Ling Qingzhu’s eyes quickly sweptacross the area. After which, she turned around, leading the dozen over figuresbehind her as they disappeared.

After their figures disappeared, Ling Qingzhu and the others transformed intonumerous rainbows that rushed towards the exterior of this space and headedtowards the Eastern Xuan Region.

“Tch.”

When they were entering the exterior of the realm, a golden light suddenlyshot over, and was received by a lady behind Ling Qingzhu.

“Senior Mu, what is it?” Someone asked curiously.

“A Yuan Spirit Transmission. Nothing much. It’s only news about the currentHundred Empire War.” The lady smilingly replied.

“What is there to talk about. The champion is most likely someone from theTianyuan Empire. We are already used to it…” A person curled her mouth and said.

“Haha, the Yuan Gate is indeed strong, but no matter how strong it is, thesuper genius from the Yuan Gate known as Little Yuan Lord is merely a franticpursuer of our senior sister Qingzhu.”

“Hehe, it is rumoured that he even plans of asking his elders to propose amarriage. A couple of ladies by the side giggled.

“Noisy.”

At the front, as she stood on a green lotus, Ling Qingzhu’s pretty eyesshifted a little. Her cold voice caused the ladies to extend their tongues, butthey did not dare to continue making fun of her.

“All of you are wrong this time. The champion of this Hundred Empire War isnot someone from the Tianyuan Empire.” The lady, who had received the YuanSpirit Transmission, laughed.

“Oh? Then who is it? To actually be able to surpass those from the TianyuanEmpire…” Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Even Ling Qingzhu also slightlyreduced her flying speed.

“I am not too familiar with this person and have no idea which empire he comesfrom. It seems to be someone called Lin Dong.”

Swoosh!

The lady’s voice had just sounded out when Ling Qingzhu’s figure suddenlyfroze. Disbelief suddenly surged in her usually cold and quiet lake like eyes.

Was it that Lin Dong? Did he really participate in the Hundred Empire War?
