The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 660 - 658: Obtaining the Treasure and Leaving!

In this sham treasury, Lin Bai saw several old wooden shelves that people hadn’t cleaned for many years. On them were some withered, low-grade spiritual herbs and medicines!

Below one of the shelves, a round stone caught Lin Bai’s attention.

Casually, Lin Bai walked over and picked up the round stone, examining it in his hands. He noticed the dense cracks on it as if it were about to crumble at any moment.

"What is this?" Lin Bai asked the disciple behind him.

The disciple explained, "This stone has been in the Canghai Yuntai Palace for some years now. It is strange, although this stone is indeed a spiritual tool, its spirituality is quite low, almost negligible."

"Were it not seen as a spiritual tool, I reckon the sect would have discarded it long ago."

"Yet this stone has its peculiarities; it is impervious to knives or axes, and unaffected by water or fire."

The disciple spoke nervously.

With the stone in hand, Lin Bai channeled some of his True Qi into it. He found that, as the disciple had said, although the stone did possess spirituality, it was so faint it could be disregarded, it did not even have the spirituality of a one-grade Spiritual Tool.

"Try it with the method Master taught me."

Lin Bai then remembered that when Ling Tianzi had mentioned the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm, he had taught Lin Bai a unique method to control spiritual tools.

At that moment, Lin Bai slowly operated his repository of True Qi, pouring it into the stone.

Suddenly, Lin Bai sensed a terrifying force within the stone, dormant like it was in a deep slumber, but as Lin Bai’s True Qi got closer, this power began to revive.

"It is this!"

Lin Bai was overjoyed.

The round stone in his hands, there could be no mistake. It was the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm!

Lin Bai was elated, but kept his poker face. He thought with glee: Just as Master said, although it is a ninth-grade spiritual tool, the people of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, their mundane eyes failing to recognize the true deity, had treated it as nothing more than a discarded stone to prop up a table.

Although the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm was broken, some of its power still lingered. It should be able to be used two or three times.

That would be enough!

Lin Bai clutched the Stone Mirror tightly, a solemn expression on his face, and a sharp glow in his eyes.

"I will take this one."

Lin Bai placed the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm into his storage bag. He then left the treasury with the disciple and returned to the plaza.

The disciple then approached Qing Haitian and informed him of the item that Lin Bai had taken.

Upon hearing this, Qing Haitian burst into laughter: "Ha ha ha, who would have thought? The distinguished disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect has a keen eye indeed, choosing that stone that even dogs in the Canghai Yuntai Palace wouldn’t second look."

He remarked that even a dog wouldn’t bother with this stone.

"Is that so? Well, that just shows how blind you all are, not even as discerning as a dog!" Upon hearing Qing Haitian’s mockery, Lin Bai retorted dismissively.

A ninth-grade defensive spiritual tool being used by the Canghai Yuntai Palace to prop up a table corner, Lin Bai found this ludicrous.

Even though they were blind to the true value of this treasure, they still had the gall to mock Lin Bai.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Qing Haitian sneered: "Hmph, now that the honored disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect has got his treasure, please leave. You’re not welcome at the Canghai Yuntai Palace!"

Su Jiannan retorted coldly: "As if I’m longing to stay in this goddamn place, even the air stinks!"

"Lin Bai, let’s go!"

Immediately, Su Jiannan headed towards the Sky-flying Peng with Lin Bai.

At this moment, Xue Jianke and the First Princess also arrived swiftly.

"We will accompany you back to the Spirit Sword Sect! In case the Canghai Yuntai Palace has more tricks up their sleeve, that would be trouble." The First Princess and Xue Jianke both suggested.

Lin Bai nodded: "Sounds good!"

Immediately after that, Su Jiannan also spoke: "Let’s go. We shouldn’t tarry. Let’s set out."

All disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect ascended upon the Sky-flying Peng, and in an instant departed the grounds of Canghai Yuntai Palace!

Afterwards, Princess Chang commanded the Dragon Hawk Legion to follow suite.

Qing Haitian stood in the Canghai Yuntai Palace, watching the Sky-flying Peng depart in the distance. He said solemnly, "Princess Chang and Xue Jianke would not possibly follow them back to the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Canghai Yuntai Palace is still four to five days away from the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Let’s take action in the Giant Beast Mountain Range!"

"The Giant Beast Mountain Range is already near the Spirit Sword Sect, a day’s journey away. Even if Princess Chang and Xue Jianke want to escort the Spirit Sword Sect, they can at most reach the Giant Beast Mountain range!"

Zhao Xiansheng said, "The Giant Beast Mountain Range, hmph hmph, that will be the gravesite of the Spirit Sword Sect!"

Qing Haitian said, "Zhao Xiansheng, get ready. Just the two of us will go. Command the other elders to defend the Canghai Yuntai Palace, to prevent the Royal Family and the Eastern Sea Martial Artists from retaliating after Lin Bai leaves!"

"Alright, I will arrange it!"

Zhao Xiansheng nodded in affirmation.

After three days and nights of relentless travel, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect and Princess Chang and Xue Jianke all wore solemn expressions on their faces.

The Giant Beast Mountain Range was rather close to the Spirit Sword Sect, the demon beasts within possessing relatively low strength, approximating to the Xuanwu Realm!

Seeing the Giant Beast Mountain Range, Su Jiannan’s tightly wound spirit finally relaxed a bit, "We have already reached the Giant Beast Mountain Range. We should arrive at the Spirit Sword Sect by dusk!"

"Thank you, Princess Chang and Xue Jianke, for escorting us!"

Su Jiannan said with a smile.

Lin Bai said, "Princess Chang, Xue Jianke, thank you both. Otherwise, we would have inevitably had a tough fight!"

Princess Chang said nonchalantly, "Why are you thanking me?"

Xue Jianke said, "Exactly, there’s no need for thanks between us. Besides, you are also the Guardian of the Blood Sword Sect Supreme, we can’t let people bully you, otherwise if word got out, others would think the martial artists of the East Sea are easy to bully."

"Haha."

Xue Jianke chuckled.

Lin Bai said to Xue Jianke, "Xue Jianke, my third uncle and Zhao Longtu have gone to fight in the East Sea. When you return to the East Sea, could you keep an eye on their movements?"

Xue Jianke nodded and said, "No problem, the East Sea is now completely under the control of the Blood Sword Sect."

Lin Bai smiled, admiring Xue Jianke’s tactics. Within a mere half a year, he was able to quickly stabilize the stormy East Sea and make the entire Eastern Sea Martial Artists submit. It was not a feat any ordinary martial artist could accomplish.

Xue Jianke said, "Alright, it seems we have already reached the territory of the Spirit Sword Sect, there should be no major problems. I will lead the Martial Artists of the East Sea back first. Take care on your journey."

Princess Chang also said, "A large number of legions have been mobilized this time, I must go and calm them down and send the military back to their post!"

Lin Bai said, "Alright, both of you go and get busy."

"Take care!" Xue Jianke said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai nodded, watching Xue Jianke depart.

Princess Chang said lightly, "You should also be careful. It’s possible that Canghai Yuntai Palace still has some tricks up their sleeve. Be cautious of their retaliation and don’t leave the Spirit Sword Sect for the next few months."

Su Jiannan also said, "Yes, Lin Bai, you should not leave the Spirit Sword Sect for the next few months. With me in the Spirit Sword Sect, they dare not mess around!"

Princess Chang said, "If you need anything, feel free to notify me in the imperial capital. The Royal Family of Shenwu Kingdom will definitely provide aid!"

Su Jiannan smiled, "Thank you, Princess Chang. Your words are like a life-saving charm to the Spirit Sword Sect." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Princess Chang gave a slight smile, glanced at Lin Bai, and said, "I’m leaving."

Lin Bai said, "I’ll come to the Imperial Capital to find you once the storm has passed."

"Okay!"

Princess Chang nodded, and along with Chu Jiangliu, they mounted the Dragon Hawk and left.
