The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin walked out of the Great Hall side by side, just in time to see Yan Ji stopping ahead to wait for Lin Bai.

"Brother Lin Bai, since you’ve already made it this far, it seems that Tomorrow at the birthday celebration, we’ll be meeting again." Yan Ji said with a light smile, "I’m really looking forward to having a battle with you!"

Yan Ji walked over, smiling as he spoke to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "All right, if Tomorrow at the birthday celebration I have the good fortune to cross hands with Young Master Yan Ji, that will be Lin Mou’s good luck as well!"

Walking at the side, Su Tingzong heard this and said irritably, "You two don’t need to be playing these little mind games. Tomorrow at the birthday celebration, the top spot will definitely be mine!"

Yan Ji chuckled lightly and said, "Since Brother Su is so confident, then we’ll see each other at the birthday celebration."

"Hmph, I’ve always felt that one legendary genius on the Southern Continent is enough; the other two are really unnecessary." With that, Su Tingzong, carrying a hint of arrogance, walked forward and disappeared atop the Main Peak.

Yan Ji let out a speechless laugh. "It’s not like I want this either, but this ’legendary genius’ title isn’t something I shamelessly slapped on myself; it was given to me by the Warriors of the Southern Continent!"

Hearing Yan Ji’s amused laughter, Lin Bai gave a slight smile and said, "Young Master Yan Ji, I’ll take my leave."

Yan Ji nodded and said, "All right, see you Tomorrow!"

With that, Lin Bai and Ye Suxin walked out of the Main Peak side by side and returned to their quarters.

Watching Lin Bai’s departing back, a faint smile curled at the corner of Yan Ji’s lips.

At this moment, Yan Long walked up to Yan Ji, and asked Yan Ji in a Strange tone, "Yan Ji, why are you so interested in this person? You even said you hope to fight him Tomorrow at the birthday celebration!"

"He looks unfamiliar to me. It seems his name isn’t even on the genius list of the Southern Continent!"

Yan Ji chuckled softly. "Uncle Long, of course you wouldn’t know him. Your attention is still fixed on the Southern Continent; how could you know his identity!"

When Yan Long heard this, he immediately asked curiously, "Then this person isn’t a Warrior of the Southern Continent?"

Yan Ji looked at Lin Bai’s distant back and said calmly, "Former Saint of the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai!"

After speaking, Yan Ji no longer paid attention to Yan Long and returned to his own quarters.

Hearing Yan Ji’s words, Yan Long turned deathly pale with fright. He couldn’t help but look at Lin Bai’s back, exclaiming again and again, "He’s actually the Saint of the East Continent Academy!"

"I remember now, it seems that about half a year ago, the East Continent Academy did indeed expel a Saint, and that person was Lin Bai!"

"He actually came to the Southern Continent!"

Yan Long said in shock.

...

The Bald Old Man brought Liu Yuan, Scholar Ye Jing, and the Violent-tempered Woman Qin Yijun back to his own quarters.

After returning to the courtyard of the residence, the Bald Old Man looked at the three with an icy gaze and said coldly, "Before I came, did I or did I not warn you not to stir up trouble!"

"You’re here to compete for the top spot of Tomorrow’s birthday celebration. Your trump cards are to be used at the final moment on Su Tingzong and Yan Ji!"

"As long as we can have the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures refine a Treasure for us, that would be an extremely rare boon for our Divine Sect!"

The Bald Elder looked at the three with a somewhat angry expression as he spoke.

Scholar Ye Jing said, "Elder, rest assured, we did not start Taking Action against Yan Ji and Su Tingzong; we were merely trapped inside that Dry Well scroll."

Hearing this, the Bald Elder felt a bit more at ease.

"Right, just now I received a message from Elder Deng Yuchun!"

"It’s a Recording Orb!"

"Take a look!"

As he spoke, the Bald Elder took a Recording Orb out of his Storage Bag and placed it in front of the three.

The three hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the image within the Recording Orb: a White-robed Man standing on a flying Sword, his methods Heaven-reaching as he fiercely battled a Prehistoric Giant Beast.

In the end, that White-robed Man unleashed a heaven-shocking strike, actually hacking off one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads alive.

"This..."

"That’s the Primordial Colossal Nine-headed Snake? One of the powerful Giant Beasts on the Manwu River!"

"Who exactly is this White-robed Man? Why does he look so familiar to me, like I’ve seen him somewhere before!"

The three of them immediately frowned and spoke.

The Bald Elder put away the Recording Orb and said blandly, "Looks familiar, doesn’t he! Reminds you of the Lin Bai that Yan Ji mentioned today, doesn’t he! Of the man who stayed with you in the Dried-up Well World for six days!"

The three exchanged a glance, their pupils full of surprise as they said, "It really is him! I think his name was Lin Bai!"

"For this man to be able to chop off one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads, his Sword Skill is probably anything but simple!"

"It seems that taking the top spot this year won’t be so easy after all!"

"Su Tingzong and Yan Ji are already hard enough to deal with, and now there’s another Lin Bai!"

The three spoke in extreme shock.

The Bald Elder said expressionlessly, "I showed you this not to make you wary of Lin Bai, but to have you capture him and pry out of his mouth what we want!"

The three looked at the Bald Elder in confusion and said, "Elder, what do you Mean by this?"

The Bald Elder said faintly, "Some time ago, Elder Deng Yuchun received news from a branch on the Southern Continent, saying they had found the tomb of the Beast-controlling Ancestor!"

"But when Elder Deng Yuchun rushed there, he discovered that the Beast-controlling Ancestor’s Legacy had already been taken!"

"And the one who took the Legacy was He Ran none other than Lin Bai!"

"Moreover, if nothing unexpected has happened, Lin Bai should still have a Dragon Slaying Skill on him!"

"That he was able to cleave off the head of the Primordial Colossal Nine-headed Snake on the Manwu River with a single Sword makes it obvious that was the power of the Dragon Slaying Skill!"

"On his person are the ’Qiankun Beast-controlling Art’ we of the Divine Sect need, as well as the ’Dragon Slaying Skill’. You must by all means draw him over to our side and take everything on him!"

"Understand?"

The Bald Elder’s gaze was deep, a cold gleam flashing as he looked at the three and spoke.

The three exchanged a glance and said coldly, "Elder, you Mean..."

The Bald Elder said, "First, win him over. If he’s unwilling to join the Divine Sect, then think of a way to obtain the ’Qiankun Beast-controlling Art’ and the ’Dragon Slaying Skill’!"

The three nodded silently, knowing full well that these two things were of extraordinary significance to the Divine Sect!

...

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin returned to their quarters.

Only then did Ye Suxin complain, "Where have you been these past few days? I was worried sick at home."

Lin Bai smiled at Ye Suxin. Seeing the worry written all over her pretty face, Lin Bai knew that his sudden disappearance these last few days had indeed frightened and worried her.

Feeling a bit guilty, Lin Bai reached out and gently stroked Ye Suxin’s silky hair, speaking softly, "It’s fine, I was just trapped in that world by the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures’ third Disciple."

Ye Suxin looked at Lin Bai with concern, letting him caress her hair, her expression tinged with reproach!

But if Lin Bai knew that the Divine Soul within Ye Suxin’s body was still Zhao Yue’s at this moment, who knows what he would think!
