The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2435 - 2312: Born in the Morning, Dead by Night

Chapter 2435: Chapter 2312: Born in the Morning, Dead by Night

"Although I am not Lin Duo’s son, today... I have something to say to Senior Mo Wenshen!"

Lin Bai looked at Mo Wenshen coldly, a trace of killing intent gathering on his body!

Mo Wenshen said, "What is it?"

Lin Bai stepped forward two steps, facing the pressure from Li Zhengyi and Mo Wenshen, and looked coldly into Mo Wenshen’s eyes, saying, "Although I am not Lin Duo’s son, I have practiced his Zhanlong Sword Skill and can be considered half his disciple, and he also counts as half my master!"

"Even if he does not acknowledge me, this weak disciple, in the future, I will still acknowledge him as my master!"

"Since he is my master, I will not tolerate anyone speaking insolently of him!"

"Senior Mo Wenshen, I know you have profound cultivation and great strength, but I also ask you to maintain a reverence for the world!"

"If you dare to disrespect Senior Lin Duo again, I, Lin Bai, swear... will cut you into a thousand pieces!"

Lin Bai and Mo Wenshen locked eyes, his words like a knife, with killing intent lingering around.

At this moment, Lin Bai was completely unafraid of Mo Wenshen’s cultivation, yet he still looked at Mo Wenshen and spoke coldly.

Mo Wenshen, upon hearing this, laughed coldly, "Haha, what an arrogant junior, just a mere warrior at the Ninth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, daring to shout before me like this!"

"Boy, do you know, when I roamed freely across Dongzhou, you were still in your mother’s womb!"

Lin Bai let out a cold laugh, "Yes, when Senior Mo Wenshen roamed Dongzhou, perhaps I wasn’t yet born!"

"But Senior Mo Wenshen, have you ever thought!"

"By the time I roam freely across Dongzhou, you might already be in the grave!"

Lin Bai looked sharply at Mo Wenshen and said.

"How bold you are, daring to speak to me like this, today even if you have nothing to do with Lin Duo, just based on what you said, I’ll make you pay with your life!"

Mo Wenshen, enraged, walked towards Lin Bai!

Lin Bai sneered, "Humph, I am now the Saint of Dongzhou Academy, my life alone is insignificant, but if I were to die here in Kunxu, Senior Li Zhengyi, I’m afraid this matter would make Kunxu look bad!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Li Zhengyi took a step forward, once again blocking Mo Wenshen, and said coldly, "Mo Wenshen, stop causing trouble, if Lin Bai were really Lin Duo’s son, would I not recognize him?"

Mo Wenshen stopped in his tracks, looked up at Li Zhengyi, and fell silent.

"Indeed, if he truly were Lin Duo’s son, you would have recognized him the first time you saw him!" Mo Wenshen shook his head and said.

"Could it be the Central Holy Nation made a mistake?"

"Or is there really someone else?"

"If Lin Bai were truly Lin Duo’s son, he would not dare to speak for Lin Duo so boldly just now..."

"Doing so, is it intentional, or... is he truly not?"

Mo Wenshen kept muttering in his heart.

After a while, Mo Wenshen raised his head to look at Li Zhengyi, and said, "How many outsiders have come to Kunxu recently?"

Li Zhengyi glanced at Libu Zheng.

Libu Zheng stepped forward and replied, "There have been many conflicts between the Kunxu Li Clan and the tribes recently, so many disciples from Kunxu have been returning, and we’ve also invited many strong ones to Kunxu!"

"In the end, how many strong ones have arrived, this must be inspected at the Executive Hall in Kunxu before we can decide!"

Mo Wenshen looked at Li Zhengyi and said, "Alright then, Li Zhengyi, I want to investigate all the outsiders who have come to Kunxu in the last three days!"

Li Zhengyi nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Zheng, arrange for someone to accompany Mo Wenshen back to the Li Clan!"

Libu Zheng nodded slightly.

Mo Wenshen cupped his fists and said, "Farewell!"

After speaking, Mo Wenshen left directly!

Watching Mo Wenshen leave, Lin Bai’s hand, which had been placed on the Storage Bag, slowly relaxed.

Libu Zheng went to arrange for warriors to send Mo Wenshen back to Kunxu.

Now, only Lin Bai and Li Zhengyi were left on the mountaintop.

"Don’t worry, you are a distinguished guest of Kunxu, throughout history, no Saint of Dongzhou Academy has ever had an incident in Kunxu!" Li Zhengyi said lightly, "Moreover, we warriors, born in the morning, die in the evening, in the future don’t say things like you died in Kunxu, and it reflects poorly on Kunxu!"

"As long as you are a warrior, stepping into this chaotic world, no matter how outstanding, no matter how strong, there will always be a day of falling!"

"Born in the morning, died in the evening, this is the destiny of warriors!"

"Even if you unfortunately die in Kunxu in the future, it will only be because your strength is not enough, and it has nothing to do with Kunxu!"

Li Zhengyi said lightly.

"The junior will remember your teachings!" Lin Bai said, cupping his fists slightly.

After Li Zhengyi finished speaking, he did not continue, but instead gazed into the distance at the Heavenly Saber Tribe!

Not long after, the Grand Elder of the Li Family excitedly came to Li Zhengyi’s side and said, "Patriarch, the four groups we sent to the Heavenly Saber Tribe have news!"

"The ones looking for the Mountain Protection Array found nothing!"

"Those sent to assassinate the leaders of the Heavenly Saber Tribe all fell!"

"Those who went to rescue Lichao Yun and others have yet to communicate!"

"But only those sent to capture the tribal leaders’ descendants and outstanding disciples have returned with news!"

"They have captured many sons and daughters of the high echelons of the Heavenly Saber Tribe, as well as some outstanding disciples of the Heavenly Saber Tribe, for example, Bai Yu, who is reputed to be the most outstanding swordsman among the younger generation of the Heavenly Saber Tribe, has also been captured by us!"

"Now, we have the capital to negotiate with the Heavenly Saber Tribe!"

Li Zhengyi said, "Grand Elder, you may proceed!"

"Yes, Patriarch!" The Grand Elder left happily.

After the Grand Elder left, Li Zhengyi asked, "Lin Bai, do you think the Heavenly Saber Tribe will release them?"

Lin Bai said, "If it were me, I would not release them!"

Li Zhengyi laughed, "Why?"

Lin Bai said seriously, "In such a situation of enemy strength and our weakness, if the Heavenly Saber Tribe were truly to exchange Lichao Yun and others for the ones the Grand Elder captured, then once people are handed over, the warriors of the Li Clan will surely flatten the Heavenly Saber Tribe!"

"In contrast, if the Heavenly Saber Tribe does not release Lichao Yun and others, would the Grand Elder dare to harm the warriors of the Heavenly Saber Tribe, incurring their wrath?"

"Therefore, no matter what, as long as the Heavenly Saber Tribe dares to release people, their day of doom will come!"

Lin Bai said lightly.

Li Zhengyi said, "Yes, such a simple truth, you can see through it, but the Grand Elder has yet to realize!"

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Senior Li Zhengyi, since you already saw through the Grand Elder’s plan as unfeasible, why did you not stop him earlier?"

Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "Because what the Grand Elder is doing is right, we need some capital to negotiate with the Heavenly Saber Tribe!"

"And now, we have it!"

Li Zhengyi said with a smile.

Lin Bai did not quite understand what Li Zhengyi meant by this and frowned deeply.

Li Zhengyi smiled mysteriously, looked towards the Heavenly Saber Tribe, and said coldly, "For many years, I have pondered a question, why did our Li family ancestors not wipe out these tribes completely after occupying Kunxu, and make Kunxu solely controlled by the Li family?"

"This question troubled me for over ten years, and finally, one sentence from Lin Duo helped me understand the far-reaching foresight of our Li family ancestors!"

"Lin Bai, do you know what that sentence was?"

Li Zhengyi asked.

Lin Bai silently shook his head, cupping his fists, and said, "I would love to hear it!"
