The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 657 - 655: Only War!

Of course, these warriors did not dare to directly oppose Canghai Yuntai Palace, thus, one after another, they left the martial arts competition square.

Just as everyone was almost gone, Qing Haitian roared in anger, "Listen, disciples of the Canghai Yuntai Palace! Today, kill anyone associated with Lin Bai and the Spirit Sword Sect, not one shall be spared. Annihilate their entire clan!"

The booming voice of Qing Haitian echoed in all directions.

"Yes!"

Tens of thousands of Canghai Yuntai Palace disciples called out in unison.

"Sect leader Qing Haitian, are you planning to execute this princess along with the rest?"

At this moment, from amongst the privileged seats of the spectators, the First Princess Bai Xiaoxiao, with a gloomy face, stood up and questioned coldly.

Upon seeing the First Princess, Qing Haitian immediately laughed and said, "Haha, you jest, Princess Chang! I have no such intention. I only intend to kill Lin Bai and his associates. This matter has nothing to do with you, Princess Chang."

The First Princess chuckled, "Nothing to do with me? It seems Sect Leader Qing Haitian has been in seclusion for too long and has lost touch with reality."

"The Spirit Sword Sect’s Lin Bai, the Ironblood Sword King of the Shenwu Kingdom, is my husband!"

"I am engaged to Lin Bai, an arrangement solemnly agreed upon by my Imperial Father and the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"However, we have all clearly stated before that once Lin Bai finds his lost parents, we will consummate our marriage."

"By saying you will annihilate a clan, are you implying you intend to execute me as well?"

The First Princess’s face turned grave, and her eyes emitted a chilling light.

Hiss——

At this moment, the warriors who hadn’t yet gone far off, hearing the words of the First Princess, were immediately taken aback.

"Damn! The First Princess of Shenwu Kingdom has spoken."

"Currently, the First Princess controls the largest number of soldiers in Shenwu Kingdom. It is rumored that the armies under her command have exceeded twenty million."

"Exactly, Lin Bai is the current Prince Consort. To eradicate Lin Bai’s clan, the first one to kill would be Bai Xiaoxiao."

"Oh no, Canghai Yuntai Palace is now going to confront Shenwu Kingdom."

"I have to say, as a woman, daring to stand up amid such a situation, she truly is a female hero."

Numerous warriors stopped in their tracks, looking at the First Princess with admiration on their faces.

Lin Bai, watching the determined look on the First Princess’s face, felt gratitude deep within his heart.

Meanwhile, Su Jiannan and the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect were overjoyed when they heard the First Princess speak.

If they were to solely rely on the inadequate manpower of the Spirit Sword Sect to break out of the Canghai Yuntai Palace’s encirclement, it would undoubtedly add difficulty to an already problematic situation.

Upon hearing this, Qing Haitian’s face immediately turned dark, and he said coldly, "Princess Chang..."

Qing Haitian had just started to say something to the First Princess.

But just at that moment, another chilling voice rang out.

"Sect Leader Qing Haitian, you want to kill everyone associated with Lin Bai. Does that mean you plan to kill me as well?"

An exceptionally cold voice reverberated throughout the venue.

At that moment, everyone, including Lin Bai, looked shocked. Inside the Canghai Yuntai Palace, besides the First Princess, who else would dare to speak up for Lin Bai?

Lin Bai squinted and looked around. On one of the spectator seats, a man dressed in a blood-red robe, clutching a blood-red treasure sword, stood up, staring coldly at Qing Haitian, right after he downed his cup of wine.

"That is... Xue Jianke!"

"The new god from the East Sea? The Alliance Leader of the Blood Sword Sect!" freēnovelkiss.com

"The current Xue Jianke has absolute control of the East Sea! His status is equivalent to that of the Canghai Yuntai Palace of Shenwu Kingdom. Given his power, he should not be underestimated!"

Many warriors were astonished to see Xue Jianke.

What shocked them even more was the fact that Xue Jianke was associated with Lin Bai?

Qing Haitian was slightly taken aback before erupting in anger, "Xue Jianke, what do you mean? Lin Bai has nothing to do with you! Standing up for him now – do you not fear the wrath of my Canghai Yuntai Palace?"

Xue Jianke chuckled lightly, "Who said we have nothing to do with each other? The Lin Bai you want to kill is the Guardian of the Sect Supreme in my Blood Sword Sect!"

"The Guardian of the Sect Supreme of the Blood Sword Sect – do you think you can just kill him as and when you please?"

"If you really succeed in killing him, how will I convince the nine hundred million warriors of the East Sea?"

Drawing his Treasure Sword, Xue Jianke uttered coldly with an air of certainty, refusing to back down a bit.

Lin Bai smiled faintly, looking at Xue Jianke.

Xue Jianke looked back at Lin Bai and nodded.

With the First Princess and Xue Jianke standing up for him one after another, Lin Bai felt especially thrilled.

This surge of pride gave Lin Bai confidence to break free from the encirclement even when faced with a vast army.

After all, he still had his family and a group of brothers waiting for him to return and have a drink with them.

Zhao Xiansheng, looking flustered, asked, "Sect Leader, what should we do now? The First Princess controls the Shenwu Kingdom and her force of more than 20 million strong. And Xue Jianke – he commands the East Sea, with over nine hundred million warriors obeying his commands!"

How could Qing Haitian not be aware of the power the First Princess and Xue Jianke command in the Shenwu Kingdom and East Sea?

If the First Princess were angered, the Iron Cavalry Legion of Shenwu Kingdom could directly crush the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

If Xue Jianke unsheathed his sword, the warriors of the entire East Sea would flock over.

Qing Haitian could not accept this; this was the perfect opportunity to eradicate the Spirit Sword Sect.

If he let Lin Bai and the Spirit Sword Sect leave, it would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountains.

Qing Haitian looked at Lin Bai, filled with fear. This man had broken through the great perfection of the half-step Divine Pill state in just a year, and even killed Lin Zi’er!

If Lin Bai were given another six months to cultivate, he would undoubtedly break through the Human Elixir Realm, becoming even more formidable.

By then, the direct rivals within the Canghai Yuntai Palace and Spirit Sword Sect won’t be spared by Lin Bai!

No, Lin Bai must not be allowed to survive and escape.

If Lin Bai escapes, it would signal the death of the Canghai Yuntai Palace!

After sorting out his thoughts, Qing Haitian turned to the First Princess and Xue Jianke, saying, "You two should do the Canghai Yuntai Palace a favor and stay out of this."

The First Princess scoffed, "I can perhaps do you the honor, but only if you let the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect leave. Otherwise, I will not stop."

Xue Jianke added, "I agree, Her Highness and I share the same sentiment."

Upon hearing this, Qing Haitian retorted coldly, "You both hold power in the Shenwu Kingdom and the East Sea. But don’t overstep. The Canghai Yuntai Palace is no easy target!"

"Let me ask you again, and I hope you think carefully before answering."

"What if I insist on killing Lin Bai today?"

Qing Haitian asked the First Princess and Xue Jianke in an almost threatening tone.

The First Princess looked stern, her eyes flashing with a fighting spirit, "Then...war!"

Xue Jianke raised his sword, "If you insist on killing Lin Bai, then my nine hundred million warriors of the East Sea will have no choice but to wage war against your Canghai Yuntai Palace! From then on, any warrior of the Canghai Yuntai Palace who appears in the East Sea will be killed, whether they are alone or in pairs. We will not be lenient!"
