The Prodigies War
Chapter 1589: Bone Flute

It was extremely strange and chilling that flute music which resembled the sound of nature was suddenly being played on the terrifying sea of bones.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, and Little Silver and Little Sky seemed to read his mind and flew back into his mind-sea to hide.

Lin Xun circulated the Suanni Qi to envelop his entire body, and immediately, he seemed to have vanished from the spot.

After fully mastering the secrets of the Tribulation Dragon Nine Transformations, Lin Xun brought the power of Suanni Qi to a completely new level.

Now, no one could sense the presence of Lin Xun, except for those who had mastered a unique secret detection art.

After following the flute sound for some distance, Lin Xun suddenly saw an incredible scene.

A group of Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits emerged from a pile of bones and was brought together by the tune of the flute, before they flew off into the distance together.

They still had a fiendish aura around them and were as terrifying as any other Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirit, but the sound of the flute seemed to have a unique magical power to summon and make them obey its call!

“What amazing musical dao powers!” Lin Xun couldn’t help feeling astonished.

It should be noted that every Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirit was as strong as a supreme Saint. Even so, they were not able to resist the calling of the flute, just like tamed beasts.

However, the flute music had no effect when it fell into Lin Xun's ears, and instead, he found it soothing and pleasant.

He instantly concluded that the secret musical art was specially created to deal with fiendish creatures such as Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits!

While in deep thought, Lin Xun continued to move forward quietly. He was curious to see who the flutist was.

“Ten, thirty, fifty…”

Along the way, he noticed more and more Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits being controlled by the sound of the flute.

However, when the number reached ninety-nine, the pitch of the flute suddenly changed from high to low and deep, and a different melody started to play.

Immediately, Lin Xun saw the ninety-nine Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits flying up and gathering into groups before moving off, fiendish qi surging violently around each one.

At that moment, he spotted a figure.

It was a young woman wearing an animal skin dress with bare legs and a crown of thorn flowers on her head. She was fair and slim, but there was a savage wildness about her.

She played the flute that was made out of polished bones in her hand while she skipped forward in midair. An ancient and obscure wilderness-like aura surrounded her.

The group of Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits followed behind her.

“The aura of the Nine Dark Ancient Domain!” A cold light flashed in the depths of Lin Xun’s dark eyes.

Every cultivator who entered the Nine Domains Battlefield was equipped with a badge from their respective domain.

The badge was stored with great dao credits and determined how much one earned, and it also allowed a cultivator to return to their respective domain once the Conflict of the Nine Domains came to an end.

For example, Lin Xun had an Ancient Wasteland Badge on him.

The badge also identified him and told enemies about his origin.

The young woman in an animal skin dress and crowned with a ring of thorns on her head clearly came from the Nine Dark Ancient Domain, a world rumored to still retain an ancient, wilderness landscape.

“Huh?” Suddenly, the young woman sensed something and looked back. At the same time, flute sounds spread like ripples.

“What strong senses!” Seeing that, Lin Xun quickly darted far away.

In the end, the woman turned back around and continued forward since she didn’t find anything unusual.

But Lin Xun was already certain that the woman was no ordinary character and no average supreme Saint!

“That’s right. Those who can enter the Flying Immortal Secret Realm are all elite figures of a domain. It’s not surprising she has such amazing senses and swift reactions,” Lin Xun muttered ruminatively.

He did not alert the enemy and continued to follow.

The woman in an animal skin dress was evidently very familiar with the Sea of Forgotten Bones by the way she moved and acted without hesitation.

Moreover, as the melody of her flute spread, not a single Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirit appeared along the way.

“It seems like after the first two Conflicts of the Nine Domains, the experts from the other eight domains gained a good understanding about the Flying Immortal Battle Realm. That’s why cultivators from the eight domains like the woman in the animal skin dress occupied the favorable locations as soon as they arrived in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm.” Lin Xun sighed.

Compared with the eight domains, the Ancient Wasteland Domain was not only inferior in terms of combat strength, but also background.

One hour later.

The scenery in the distance suddenly changed to a stretch of majestic, towering mountains, with peaks like halberds piercing into the boundless sky.

A primitive and ancient aura like that of the prehistoric times came assaulting the face.

“Crossing Mist Mountain!” The name of a place came to Lin Xun’s mind. It was an extremely well-known place in the Flying Immortal Battle Realm.

The mountain range covered an area of over one hundred thousand miles and was always shrouded in dense mist. Countless dangers lurked within the rough mountain peaks towering above.

But similarly, many divine materials and rare treasures unique to the outside world were hidden in the mountains.

From what Lin Xun knew, it was rumored that during the first Conflict of the Nine Domains, a supreme Saint from the Heavenly Flame Ancient Domain found a Yin Yang Blessing Vine from the mountains!

This was a top divine material in the world as it could give birth to Yin Yang Flower Buds.

Every Yin Yang Flower Bud was a special material for crafting Saint Treasures!

Additionally, if a Yin Yang Blessing Vine produced natural dao runes, it could even give birth to Blessing Gourds—a Xiantian Saint Treasure!

However, the Yin Yang Blessing Vine itself was already extremely rare, and it was even rarer to find one that formed natural dao runes. As for Blessing Gourds, they were no different from a myth.

In addition to Yin Yang Blessing Vines, the Crossing Mist Mountain was littered with other remarkable divine materials, but most of them came with unpredictable dangers. After all, countless Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits resided deep in the mountains.

The girl in the animal skin dress played the bone flute and very quickly entered the mountain range. Before long, she was presented with a wide view of the mountains and a flat and open canyon.

A group of people were already waiting in the canyon.

They were headed by a man with an unusually tall and muscular body and a rugged face framed by a masculine beard. His eyes glowed a purple hue.

Just standing there with his hands behind his back, he exuded an imposing aura that spread across the wilderness and as far as the boundless sky. It made everyone else around him look dim in comparison.

The person was none other than Chi Wushu, the leader of the Nine Dark Camp!

His name meant ‘unforgivable’ and was as domineering as himself.

“Yunyi, you’re back!” When he saw the girl in an animal skin dress return with ninety-nine Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits, his purple eyes lit up and he went over to welcome her.

“Brother Chi, fortunately I accomplished the mission.” The girl called Yunyi slightly nodded.

“We have subdued ninety-nine Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits earlier than expected. It is time to meet up with Kun Shaoyu and the others,” Chi Wushu said with a smile.

“Why does Kun Shaoyu want so many Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits?” Yunyi couldn’t help asking.

“It’s not Kun Shaoyu, but instead Zhu Yingkong who wants it. That guy plans to set up a Great Thousand Ghost Array. The more Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits we capture, the stronger the array will be. It will specially be used to deal with that little bastard Lin Xun,” Chi Wushu said casually without an attempt to hide anything.

Understanding dawned on Yunyi. “Where are they now?”

“Less than ten thousand miles away.” Chi Wushu pointed to the depths of Crossing Mist Mountain.

“But even if we set up an array, how is Zhu Yingkong going to make Lin Xun turn up?” Yunyi frowned.

Chi Wushu laughed loudly. “We just need to lure him. That guy is extremely ferocious. Whether it was in the battle of the Black Cliff Sea or when the seven domain alliance attacked him together, he dared to fight them alone.

“If he knew where we were hiding, how would he hold back?”

Yunyi also laughed, “It seems like Brother Chi and Kun Shaoyu have everything planned out and know all the details about Lin Xun. It would be great if our plan succeeds. After we kill him, I can concentrate on collecting Fortunes of War Merits.”

“Let’s go, it’s time for us to set off.” Chi Wushu motioned with his hand.

He had led Yunyi and other supreme Saints from the Nine Dark Ancient Domain here to capture Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits.

The mission had been completed, so it was time to leave.

Waves of melodious flute sounds rang out again. Yunyi played the bone flute as she followed Chi Wushu. However, just when they were about to set off, something unexpected happened.

Boom!

One of the ninety-nine Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits suddenly let out a thunder-like roar and charged into the air, interrupting the melodious flute sound.

Immediately after that, the already subdued Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits became agitated and feisty, violently attacking Chi Wushu and the others.

The place was suddenly thrown into chaos.

“What happened?!”

“Damn it.”

Yunyi’s face turned overcast, and she was about to resume playing the bone flute when a feeling of imminent danger overcame her so she somersaulted to the other side with a flash.

Swoosh!

A near non-existent sword shadow slashed across where she stood and standing behind the sword shadow was precisely Little Silver.

However, before Yunyi could breathe a sigh of relief, a magnificent black butterfly suddenly appeared before her eyes, gracefully beating its wings.

Then, a pair of razor sharp forces cut through the air, coming right at her.

This is bad!

Her face blanched as she madly waved the bone flute in her hand to counter the force.

Amidst tremendous roars and rumbles, Yunyin managed to block the unexpected attack, though it left her shoulder scratched and the bone flute almost flew out of her grip.

She screamed, “Enemy attack!”

In truth, there was no need to alert the others, as the place was already in chaos.

Chi Wushu and the others were immediately thrown into battle as soon as they lost control of the ninety-nine Flying Immortal Ghostly Spirits. It was as though they had to fight against ninety-nine supreme Saints at the same time.

All of a sudden, divine brilliance erupted all over the place, rumbling sound lingered in the air like an endless thunderclap, and curses and roars boomed out incessantly.

No one expected to encounter a sudden and fierce battle in less than two hours of entering the Flying Immortal Battle Realm.

Everyone had awful looks on their faces.

In the distance, Lin Xun watched on with a calm expression. Naturally, he was the cause of the sudden battle.
