The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2488 - 2463: The Traitor of Years Past! (Five Updates)

Chapter 2488: Chapter 2463: The Traitor of Years Past! (Five Updates)

"Why?" Lin Bai asked Li Zhengyi, his eyes red with anger, "Aren’t you brothers from the Peach Mountain Alliance? Didn’t you drink and revel under Peach Mountain together?"

"Why did you betray Lin Duo?"

Lin Bai stared at Li Zhengyi and asked.

Li Zhengyi took a long breath and said, "You’ve asked your three questions, and I have no intention of answering them further. I also do not wish to bring up the past again!"

"All I can tell you is..."

"After the traitor Long Lingxiao betrayed, Elder Brother Lin Duo immediately diminished half of his cultivation!"

"Elder Brother Lin Duo, with one sword, struck Long Lingxiao down from the Wending Realm... becoming a half-cripple, hiding in the Azure Dragon Empire of the Territory of all nations, living in disgrace!"

"Mo Wenshen and Lijian Yue received rewards from the Central Holy Nation and have now become subjects of the Central Holy Nation!"

"After Xue Tian’s betrayal, he was hunted for ten years by Fu Qingshuang and Lan Ling until he met a tragic end at their hands!"

"As for me, I have not stepped out of Kunxu for more than twenty years!"

Li Zhengyi looked coldly at Lin Bai and said.

Lin Bai stared silently at Li Zhengyi.

Lin Bai knew that no matter what he asked now, Li Zhengyi would not answer him anymore.

Li Zhengyi said, "I have answered your three questions. You may leave."

"Farewell!" Lin Bai clasped his hands in salute and turned to leave.

Li Zhengyi watched Lin Bai’s departing figure and asked, "Lin Bai, before you leave, I want to ask you a question. Why do you care so much about Lin Duo? Why are you concerned over matters from more than twenty years ago?"

"These events have long passed, and no one remembers them anymore."

"Whether in Kunxu or on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, the names of Lin Duo and the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain have become taboo, never spoken of by anyone."

"Why do you still pursue these questions?"

Li Zhengyi asked.

Lin Bai paused and said, "Perhaps it’s an admiration for the Heaven-defying Sword Cultivator. I want to know how the genius who created the Dragon-Slaying Sword Skill fared later on."

Li Zhengyi said, "Is that so?"

"It’s best if that’s the case!"

"Lin Bai, I hope that in the future, you will not mention to anyone that you are inquiring about the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain, nor should you inquire about Lin Duo..."

"For this will bring about deadly consequences!"

"Regardless of your connection or lack thereof to Lin Duo and the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain, just pursuing the past will not allow them to easily let you go!"

"In their eyes, it is better to kill mistakenly than to let go!"

"Do you understand?"

Li Zhengyi spoke earnestly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Li Zhengyi." Lin Bai nodded.

Lin Bai took two steps forward, looked back at Li Zhengyi, and with a smile on his face, said, "Since you have asked me some questions, may I ask you one?"

"The question is simple and Senior Li Zhengyi can easily answer it!"

Li Zhengyi asked, "Go ahead, ask, and I will decide if I will answer!"

Lin Bai asked, "Is Lin Duo still alive?"

Li Zhengyi nodded and said, "Lin Duo and Li Subai are both still alive, albeit not well!"

"Lin Duo is trapped, and Li Subai, more than twenty years ago, had his physical form destroyed, his Divine Soul encased in the Soul Lamp, barely surviving!"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "It’s good that they’re alive, perhaps I can meet these two someday."

"Then I, Lin Mou, bid farewell."

Lin Bai smiled and prepared to leave.

However, the moment Lin Bai turned around, his smile vanished, replaced by an icy coldness more frigid than ice and a murderous intent...

Li Zhengyi watched Lin Bai’s retreating figure and said softly, "Lin Bai, there is one more thing I wish to discuss with you..."

Lin Bai halted again, turning to look at Li Zhengyi, and said, "What is it?"

Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "I’m sure you’ve heard of the Battle of the Ten Children of Kunxu?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, "I heard it’s because I practiced the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills, which displeased the Elders of the Kunxu Elder Pavilion, and this led to Senior Li Zhengyi hosting the Battle of the Ten Children!"

"The warriors who become Kunxu Ten Sons can enter the Kunxu Divine Tower to cultivate one of the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills!"

"And the winner of the Martial Arts Competition will become the future Under Heaven Wanderer of Kunxu and can claim to be a Kunxu Disciple outside!"

Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "Indeed!"

Lin Bai asked strangely, "But this is a matter of the Kunxu Li Clan, and I am not a disciple of the Kunxu Li Clan, nor am I participating in the competition. It seems to have little to do with me!"

Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "Previously, it was unrelated, but now it is."

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Does Senior Li Zhengyi intend for me, an outsider, to participate in this competition?"

Li Zhengyi looked at Lin Bai and smiled meaningfully.

...

Half a day later, Lin Bai walked out of the Li Family’s Elder Council.

Outside the Elder Council, everyone else had left, but only Libu Zheng and Li Qianqian remained waiting outside.

Seeing Lin Bai come out, both hurriedly approached.

Especially Li Qianqian, who immediately asked once in front of Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, what reward did you claim from the Patriarch? Is it Divine Soldier Weapons or the opportunity to cultivate the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills?"

Lin Bai smiled without speaking.

Libu Zheng laughed and said, "Li Qianqian, since Brother Lin said that his request can only be told to my father, he naturally doesn’t wish for others to know what treasures he obtained!"

"So let’s not pry further."

Li Qianqian then realized, awkwardly saying, "I was too forward!"

Libu Zheng laughed and said, "Brother Lin, you’ve had a tiring day, I will escort you back to rest."

Lin Bai nodded slightly and left the Elder Council together with Libu Zheng and Li Qianqian.

Lin Bai looked up at the sky over Kunxu and said, "Time flies, I’ve been in Kunxu for almost half a year!"

Libu Zheng nodded and said, "About so!"

"Why, Brother Lin, do you miss the East Continent Academy?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Though Kunxu is good, it’s ultimately too small. If a warrior is confined here for too long, it can be uncomfortable, so I plan to leave Kunxu after the Battle of the Ten Children of Kunxu!"

Li Qianqian said, "The Battle of the Ten Children is set to start in a little over a month, so you’re leaving Kunxu then?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Libu Zheng smiled and said nothing.

Lin Bai returned to his residence and chose to enter seclusion.

While Libu Zheng and Li Qianqian left together.

Li Qianqian said, "Lin Bai has only been in Kunxu for half a year, and according to the agreement between the East Continent Academy and Kunxu, he can cultivate here for a year. Why is he in such a hurry to leave?"

Libu Zheng smiled, looking at the sky, and chuckled, "Perhaps because... he’s already obtained what he wanted!"

Li Qianqian asked curiously, "Libu, you seem to understand Lin Bai well? What did he come to Kunxu for? The Divine Soldier Weapons or the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills?"

Libu Zheng smiled and said, "Li Qianqian, you may be underestimating this Saint of the East Continent Academy. Divine Soldier Weapons and the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills wouldn’t catch his eye!"

"What he wanted, he probably already obtained in today’s Elder Council."

Libu Zheng said lightly.

Li Qianqian looked at Libu Zheng with puzzlement.

Libu Zheng smiled but inwardly wondered, "Lin Bai, what exactly did you ask my father for in the Elder Council?"

...

......

Ps: A lot of friends have been asking why the five-Chapter update hasn’t resumed yet?

Everyone is asking, has the author’s celebration lasted that long?

Sigh, actually Emperor Sword doesn’t want to explain anything.

Because of many family matters, Emperor Sword only left his hometown today.

Not only are you all annoyed, but I am too!

Today the five-Chapter update resumes, and if there are no other special situations, it should be kept at five updates.

If there are other special situations, Emperor Sword will explain the reason!
