The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 638 - 636: The Dagger Appears when Plans are Exhausted!
Chapter 638: Chapter 636: The Dagger Appears when Plans are Exhausted!
Canghai Yuntai Palace, the Conference Hall.
At this moment in the conference hall, there were seven dignified elders with expressions of suppressed rage, their faces holding back an uncontrollable fury.
"The Spirit Sword Sect has truly gone too far! They are simply bullying us at Canghai Yuntai Palace!"
"A mere Lin Bai dares to destroy our mountain gate! He is courting death!"
"Exactly, if we allow the Spirit Sword Sect to continue acting like this, how can Canghai Yuntai Palace stand firm in the Lingdong 700 States? It is a disgrace!"
These seven elders were expressing their anger through various comments.
Sitting in the high seat was a dignified middle-aged man with a cold complexion.
This man was Qing Haitian, the current sect leader of the Canghai Yuntai Palace.
Beneath Qing Haitian, Zhao Xiansheng was watching him in silence.
The seven people currently present in the conference hall were the seven Human Elixir Realm experts of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, the ten kings of Shenwu Kingdom!
Shenwu Kingdom has ten Human Elixir Realm experts, honored as the Ten Kings.
Among them, the strongest of the Ten Kings was the old prime minister of Shenwu Kingdom, though outsiders didn’t know if he was still alive.
It was rumored that the old prime minister of Shenwu Kingdom already possessed the strength of the Human Elixir Realm Third Layer.
The second was Qing Haitian from Canghai Yuntai Palace, with the power of the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer.
The third was Zhao Xiansheng, with a peak cultivation of the Human Elixir Realm First Layer.
But now, another expert of the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer appeared in Shenwu Kingdom, Su Jiannan, immediately closing the gap between the strength of Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Spirit Sword Sect.
Of the Ten Kings, the Canghai Yuntai Palace alone took seven places. You can imagine how profound and powerful the Canghai Yuntai Palace is!
Qing Haitian spoke, "Enough, everyone stop talking. The Spirit Sword Sect is indeed becoming more and more excessive."
"Alright, after waiting for a hundred years, Jian Xuan hasn’t appeared. Presumably, Jian Xuan is already dead somewhere, and we can’t find that item."
"Since we don’t need to wait for Jian Xuan anymore, there is no need for the Spirit Sword Sect to exist."
Qing Haitian’s voice was icy, like words from the god of death.
Zhao Xiansheng said, "Sect leader, does this mean we’re not waiting for Jian Xuan anymore? We’re going directly against the Spirit Sword Sect?"
Qing Haitian spoke, "Jian Xuan might be dead, and the only way to find something from Jian Xuan is to search within the Spirit Sword Sect, try and see if we can find anything left by Jian Xuan!"
"If this is the case, let’s take action."
"After the martial arts competition begins tomorrow, King Song, King Ning, the two of you secretly lead the elite disciples of Canghai Yuntai Palace to the Spirit Sword Sect."
"You must kill all the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect and find the clues left by Jian Xuan!"
Qing Haitian gave out his orders.
Upon hearing this, a fat elder and a thin elder among the seven immediately looked delighted and respectfully replied, "Sect leader, please rest assured, we will definitely accomplish our mission! The Spirit Sword Sect will be annihilated, no one will be spared!"
These two were King Song and King Ning, both of them among the Ten Kings.
Zhao Xiansheng asked again, "What about Su Jiannan and Lin Bai?"
Qing Haitian smiled and answered, "Lin Bai? Hehe, his life will be given to Lin Zi’er."
"As for Su Jiannan, after he sees Lin Bai die by Lin Zi’er’s hand tomorrow, I will personally handle him."
"Zhao Xiansheng, Lin Zi’er won’t have any issues defeating Lin Bai, right?"
Qing Haitian laughed as he asked Zhao Xiansheng.
Zhao Xiansheng confidently grinned and responded, "Hehe, Zi’er is Dongling’s number one genius. With her Heaven-Level Fifth-Grade Martial Soul, incomparable secret skills, how could a mere Yellow-Level First-Class Martial Spirit trash be compared to her?"
"Sect leader, please rest assured, Lin Bai will surely die by Lin Zi’er’s hand tomorrow!"
Upon hearing Zhao Xiansheng’s confident words, Qing Haitian responded, "I hope so!"
...
There was silence throughout the entire night.
All night long, Lin Bai was engaged in intensive training.
At dawn the next day, Su Jiannan came to wake up Lin Bai. "Lin Bai, it’s about time. We should be heading to the martial arts arena of the Canghai Yuntai Palace."
"Is it time already?"
Lin Bai opened his eyes in the room, revealing a fierce light in his gaze.
Immediately, Lin Bai stepped out of the room.
Looking at Lin Bai, Su Jiannan let out a soft sigh. "Today’s battle is sure to be extremely dangerous. If you can’t match the warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, don’t try to be a hero, just admit defeat. There’s no shame in that."
Lin Bai chuckled. "Thank you for the warning, Sect Leader. I am resolved in my decision."
"Good, let’s go then."
Su Jiannan led Lin Bai and all the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect away from the guesthouse.
On the way, Lijian Xing, Wang Hao, and others were constantly cheering on Lin Bai.
They hoped Lin Bai would achieve good results.
Lin Bai’s face was solemn, his fists tightly clenched. Thinking about the upcoming face-off with Lin Zi’er, the anger and resentment in Lin Bai’s heart surged continuously.
The intense killing intent overwhelmed him, pervading the sky.
The martial arts arena of Canghai Yuntai Palace was filled with warriors from all over the Shenwu Kingdom and beyond, numbering over ten thousand spectators for the ceremony.
Canghai Yuntai Palace’s foot soldiers numbered up to thirty thousand, with nine thousand Inner Disciples. Its strength was unparalleled. novelbuddy-cσ๓
In the martial arts arena.
Four flags were planted in the ground, each embroidered with the names "Canghai Yuntai Palace", "the Fire Palace", "Edgeless Sect", and "Spirit Sword Sect", along with the respective sect symbols.
The Spirit Sword Sect arrived fairly late, with almost all disciples of the other three main sects already in attendance.
"Wow, the Fire Spirit and Fire Tyrant from the Fire Palace, they’re surrounded by wave upon wave of fierce flames. They’re terrifying, like the flames of hell."
"I’ve heard that the Fire Spirit and Fire Tyrant have perfected their Fire Skill to the extreme peak. Their strength is nearing the top standard of Dongling, not to be underestimated!"
"Huh? Why does it seem like everyone under the Edgeless Sect flag has a cold and indifferent look on their faces?"
"Pfft, all the warriors of the Edgeless Sect look the same, as if someone’s desecrated their ancestral graves, they’ve all got a poker face!"
"Under the banner of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, the young man standing there is... Duan Canghai!"
"It’s really Duan Canghai!"
As the warriors of the other three major sects settled down, the entire arena began whispering excitedly.
"The Spirit Sword Sect has arrived!"
Just at that moment, all eyes in the arena turned towards the entrance. Su Jiannan, leading a group of Spirit Sword Sect disciples, walked under the Spirit Sword Sect banner amidst the attentions of everyone.
"I heard that the Spirit Sword Sect has only two competitors this year, just Lin Bai and Duan Qinghong!"
"Don’t underestimate Lin Bai; he’s the top sword cultivator in Dongling!"
"Indeed, the Spirit Sword Sect has picked up a gem of a disciple!"
Many warriors turned their attention towards Lin Bai, who was standing behind Su Jiannan.
As Lin Bai entered the arena, he glanced under the banner of the Canghai Yuntai Palace and locked eyes with a young man, but he did not see Lin Zi’er.
"Lin Zi’er didn’t come?" Lin Bai asked in confusion.
Duan Canghai, however, sneered contemptuously at Lin Bai. "A mere Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit, what is there to fear? Lin Zi’er doesn’t even need to bother, I can dispose of you easily!"
"You dare to hit on my beloved Lin Zi’er, you are only seeking your own death!"
