The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

In the world within the Dried Well Scroll, everyone thought of many ways to leave this place, but all failed.

Even Lin Bai secretly used the Martial Soul Secret Skill Breaking the Forbidden, yet still couldn’t tear open the barrier of this world.

In this scroll world, there was no alternation of day and night, and no one knew how many days had actually passed!

Everyone was in a deadlock with Lady Qin Xin in the scroll world. No matter how they threatened or persuaded, Lady Qin Xin seemed determined not to let Lin Bai and the others out!

...

After Lin Bai left the courtyard, Ye Suxin watched him leave without following.

Ye Suxin returned to her own courtyard.

Sitting in the courtyard, Ye Suxin brewed herself a pot of tea, with the entire courtyard plunged in darkness without light.

Just then, an old man leaning on a cane came to Ye Suxin’s door. After hesitating for a while at the doorstep, he gently knocked and then pushed the door open.

The old man entered the courtyard, and upon seeing Ye Suxin sitting in the dark, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Greetings Sect Leader!"

Ye Suxin said indifferently, "No need for formalities!"

The bright moon rose high, casting a sliver of pale moonlight across Ye Suxin’s courtyard.

If Lin Bai was here, he would be extremely surprised. The old man leaning on the cane was one of the Four Great Law Kings of the Demon Sect attacking the Great Witch Dynasty with Zhao Yue in the East Continent territory back then—the Snake King!

Snake King, also the strongest in the Poison Area of the East Continent, had cultivation reaching the Peak of the Wending Realm!

Under the moonlight, Ye Suxin sitting in the darkness had cold eyes, and her red lips curled into a chilly smile as she softly asked, "What about the others?"

Snake King replied softly, "According to Sect Leader’s instructions, we have begun gradually entering the Southern Continent! The Tiger King and Lion King are gathering manpower, while the Wolf King and I have come ahead to find Sect Leader!"

"We saw Sect Leader when we were at the Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing, but since Sect Leader was with Lin Bai, we didn’t disturb you!"

"We didn’t dare expose our tracks!"

"Sect Leader, why are you still with Lin Bai? Although he’s been expelled from the East Continent Academy, he was once the Saint of the Academy! What if he harbors ill intentions..."

Snake King cautioned.

Ye Suxin replied coldly, "Rest assured, I have fully gained his trust now!"

"He thinks I am Ye Suxin!"

"Hehehe!"

Ye Suxin chuckled lightly, put down the teacup, stood up, and said, "I always knew that Lin Bai is ruthless in achieving his goals. I long suspected that once I brought him to the Southern Continent and he regained his cultivation, he would immediately find a way to separate me and Ye Suxin’s Divine Soul!"

"If that’s the case, so be it!"

"I pretended to let him succeed, letting Ye Suxin’s Divine Soul currently control this body while Zhao Yue’s soul has scattered!"

"This way, he will have no more guard against me!"

Ye Suxin laughed softly.

Snake King asked confusedly, "Sect Leader, why is that?"

Ye Suxin said coldly, "What do you know! Although I have received you four powerful Dharma Kings, shaking the position of the Poison God Clan is impossible with just us!"

Snake King asked, "If we can’t, can Lin Bai?"

Ye Suxin responded coldly, "Yes, we can’t shake the Poison God Clan, but he can!"

Snake King seemed somewhat skeptical of Ye Suxin’s words.

Ye Suxin said with no expression, "If he wishes to destroy the Poison God Clan, he can do it! And I am finding a way now to make him destroy the Poison God Clan!"

"I desperately need him as a sharp sword!"

"Only Lin Bai’s sword can cut through the shield of the Poison God Clan!"

"Only then can I avenge my grudge!"

Ye Suxin stated firmly.

Snake King said, "Since Sect Leader has a plan, I dare not ask more questions; if that’s the case, then Ye Suxin’s Divine Soul is of no use, why not directly devour it!"

If Lin Bai heard the dialogue between Snake King and Ye Suxin, he would be utterly astonished.

Because, at present, the one controlling this body is still Zhao Yue!

Zhao Yue chuckled, "No need, I keep Ye Suxin’s Divine Soul for a reason! She will be my last trump card, as long as she is alive, Lin Bai won’t let me die!"

Zhao Yue’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Snake King nodded slightly and did not ask further.

Zhao Yue inquired, "By the way, how is the task I assigned to you all?"

Snake King clasped his fists and said, "Sect Leader, as per your instructions, the Wolf King has already gone into Manwu River to search for the trail of Nine-headed Snake, and I just received news from him!"

"It is said that he severely wounded the Nine-headed Snake multiple times, but the vitality of this prehistoric giant beast is so tenacious that it recovers almost to normal within about one hour!"

"Although the Wolf King has seriously injured the Nine-headed Snake many times, he couldn’t kill it!"

"But I have followed Sect Leader’s instructions to lure the Nine-headed Snake quietly near Fire Lotus Mountain!"

Zhao Yue said, "Good, let’s go find the Wolf King!"

Speaking of which, Zhao Yue and Snake King left Fire Lotus Mountain shoulder to shoulder, quietly entering Manwu River again.

With Snake King accompanying, re-entering the Manwu River wasn’t too dangerous.

Three hours later.

With Snake King alongside, Zhao Yue arrived at a bend on Manwu River.

In the darkness of the night, there was a black-clothed warrior wielding a sharp sword, wearing a Wolf King mask, looking coldly at the giant being before them, constantly unleashing fierce sword skills.

The Wolf King, possessing Peak of the Wending Realm strength, although couldn’t kill the Nine-headed Snake, was able to seriously injure it!

Of course, the Wolf King was also battered by the Nine-headed Snake.

Zhao Yue glanced at the Nine-headed Snake, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Snake King, assist the Wolf King in seriously injuring the Nine-headed Snake, and leave the rest to me!"

"Yes!" Snake King replied, flying over to team up with the Wolf King to confront the Nine-headed Snake.

The two peak Wending Realm powerhouses battled fiercely with the Nine-headed Snake for a full two hours, until nearly dawn, finally seriously injuring the Nine-headed Snake.

The Nine-headed Snake’s massive body hung on the cliffs on either side of the Manwu River, barely alive, with wounds all over its body, yet its injuries were visibly healing.

Snake King said, "Sect Leader, if you want to do something, do it quickly, this beast might recover in less than one hour!"

Zhao Yue, expressionless, flew over and landed on one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads.

The Nine-headed Snake felt a warrior standing on his head and roared furiously.

But now that the Nine-headed Snake was gravely injured, his roars were feeble.

Zhao Yue, kneeling on one knee, pricked her fingertip with her teeth, and crafted a strange rune on the Nine-headed Snake’s head!

"Heaven and Earth, All Beasts, Under One Spell!"

Zhao Yue continuously formed dharma seals, letting them fall atop the Nine-headed Snake’s head.

At this moment, the rune drawn by Zhao Yue with her blood was glowing brightly.

Now the Nine-headed Snake, ignoring its injuries, roared with anger, trying to break free from Zhao Yue’s control.

However, at this time, the Snake King and Wolf King simultaneously acted to suppress the Nine-headed Snake.

Zhao Yue’s rune flashed for a full hour before settling on the Nine-headed Snake’s head.

The Nine-headed Snake finally became docile.

"Alright, you no longer need to suppress him. He is now one of us!" Zhao Yue said with a slight smile.

Wolf King and Snake King immediately withdrew their divine powers.

The wounds of the Nine-headed Snake healed at a visible rate, returning to peak form.

At this moment, the Nine-headed Snake raised its nine heads again, looking down at Zhao Yue with eighteen blood-red eyes, yet didn’t attack her.

"Come!" Zhao Yue extended a hand, and one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads approached Zhao Yue, its massive head resting in her hand, as if this prehistoric giant beast was just a pet raised by Zhao Yue!

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yue laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha..."
