The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 661 - 659: Divine Elixir Realm Attacks!
Chapter 661: Chapter 659: Divine Elixir Realm Attacks!
The First Princess and Xue Jianke both left with their people.
Su Jiannan continued immediately, "Let’s go. One more day’s journey and we will arrive at the Spirit Sword Sect. When the Canghai Yuntai Palace comes to attack, I have a way to take them down!"
Upon hearing Su Jiannan’s unwavering words, Lin Bai had no doubt.
Although the Spirit Sword Sect had fallen, it had stood on this vast earth for five thousand years, how could it not have its own strength and resources?
For example, in the forbidden area of the Spirit Sword Sect’s rear mountain, the Thousands of Thunders Caves. If Su Jiannan had not brought Lin Bai there, he would have never known of such a thing in that place.
Therefore, Lin Bai was uncertain as to how many resources the Spirit Sword Sect presently held in their hands.
Only the Sect Leader and the higher-ups in the Elder Pavilion would know about the resources.
The Sky-flying Peng flapped its wings high, half a day later, it was about to fly out of the giant beast mountain range.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Bai, Su Jiannan said, "Lin Bai, now that you have killed Lin Zi’er, you have become the number one genius in the Lingdong region."
"Sadly, if Jian Xuan were still alive, with both of you geniuses in the Spirit Sword Sect, why wouldn’t our sect rise again?"
As he spoke, Su Jiannan was filled with regret.
Seeing Lin Bai standing at the peak of martial arts in Lingdong, it reminded Su Jiannan of Jian Xuan.
Akin to Lin Bai, Jian Xuan in his younger days singularly suppressed his peers, shone through the ages, and the glory of being the first sword cultivator and first genius in Lingdong a hundred years ago was so oppressive that all the geniuses in Under Heaven could not rise.
Even Ji Xiang had to temporally avoid his sharpness.
Regretfully, heaven envied the able; after Jian Xuan won the title of Lingdong’s first sword cultivator, a huge change took place.
The Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect was brutally killed, Jian Xuan bore the name of a traitor who deceived his master and ancestors, stealing the sect’s secret scriptures and vanished without a trace for a hundred years.
Hearing Su Jiannan mention Jian Xuan, Lin Bai asked, "Sect Leader, didn’t you send Senior Sister Li Qingxuan to Dayue Kingdom to search for him? Almost a year has passed, is there no clue yet?"
Initially in the imperial palace of the Imperial Capital, when Lijian Xing got drunk after the grand victory from the Southern region, he let slip that Li Qingxuan was not on experience-gaining travel to Dayue Kingdom, but was actually there to track Jian Xuan’s whereabouts.
Hearing Lin Bai brought up the topic, Su Jiannan chuckled and said, "Hehe, some time ago she sent back some information, saying she had found some clues, but she needs more confirmation."
"However, after a hundred years, finding some traces of Jian Xuan is a good start."
"I believe it won’t be long before Jian Xuan is found."
Lin Bai nodded and said, "Once we find Jian Xuan and recover the lost secret manuals, the Spirit Sword Sect is bound to flourish and it will be no dream to become the first-class sect in Lingdong."
Su Jiannan laughed and said, "Indeed! Mostly because of you. Your battle in the Famous Sword Manor made the name of Spirit Sword Sect echo once more across the 700 states of Lingdong. Now, every day disciples from the 700 states of Lingdong are joining the Sect."
"The Sect has got enough gifted newcomers, which is one of the reasons why the sect is getting stronger."
Lin Bai laughed and said, "It is a form of repayment to the Spirit Sword Sect because I can do something for the sect. After all, if the Spirit Sword Sect hadn’t given me a place to settle down, I would have been rootless in this world."
Su Jiannan firmly said, "Lin Bai, remember this, no matter how much you achieve in the future, how dazzling or powerful you become, you must remember that at Spirit Sword Sect, in Shenwu Kingdom, there is always a home for you!"
"If you are unfairly treated outside, not happy, then come back."
Su Jiannan knew he could not retain Lin Bai.
Su Jiannan was also very much aware that Lin Bai wouldn’t linger in the Spirit Sword Sect for long. After all, the 700 states of Lingdong could no longer hold him back anymore.
"Alright." Lin Bai replied, visibly moved.
Su Jiannan’s words warmed Lin Bai’s heart. In the future, no matter where he goes, at least Lin Bai would know where he came from, and when one day Lin Bai was old and should need to return to his roots, he would know the way home.
Ah—
Suddenly, at this moment, a brutal force surged from the mountains below, striking the underside of the Sky-flying Peng.
The Sky-flying Peng let out a mournful scream and rapidly plunged toward the ground.
Su Jiannan, with Lin Bai in tow, eyes flashing with cold light.
"Be careful, we’re under attack! Unharmed Sky-flying Peng, return to Spirit Sword Sect immediately!" Su Jiannan shouted at the several Sky-flying Pengs behind them that had not yet been attacked.
Just then, a roar came over: "Su Jiannan, I’ve been waiting for a long time!"
The Sky-flying Peng carrying Lin Bai and Su Jiannan was rapidly falling, and the two saw, atop a peak, Qing Haitian in a black robe, his eyes coldly watching the tumbling Sky-flying Peng.
The spiritual power that had blasted them originated from Qing Haitian’s strategy!
Striking down a Sky-flying Peng from ten thousand meters across the sky.
This display of power left Lin Bai slightly taken aback.
"Heh heh, Sect Leader Qing Haitian, I’ll leave Su Jiannan and Lin Bai to you. I’m going to pursue and kill the runaways from the Spirit Sword Sect!"
At this moment, Zhao Xiansheng walked out alongside Qing Haitian, coldly, reached into his storage bag, and placed a round flying compass beneath his feet, taking off into the sky.
Whoosh—
Zhao Xiansheng’s speed increased drastically, turning into a flying rainbow streaking towards the several fleeing Sky-flying Pengs.
"Not good!" Su Jiannan anxiously watched Zhao Xiansheng disappear into the distance. If he were to catch up to the Spirit Sword Sect’s Sky-flying Pengs, the outcome would be unimaginable.
Against a master at the Human Elixir Realm level, the likes of LiJian Xing, Wang Hao, and Lu Yuan would stand no chance!
Spotting Zhao Xiansheng, chasing the Sky-flying Pengs on his compass, Lin Bai instantly said, "Master, I’ll deal with Zhao Xiansheng!"
"Lin Bai, are you sure? Zhao Xiansheng is a cultivator of the First Layer of the Human Elixir Realm!" Su Jiannan spoke to Lin Bai with a grave expression.
"Don’t worry, even if I can’t kill him, with my current strength, it won’t be easy for him to kill me." free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Besides, all I need to do is to hold him off so that the Sky-flying Pengs can get away. We don’t have to risk our lives!"
Lin Bai casually declared.
At this moment, Su Jiannan could not think of any other solutions. Their Sky-flying Peng had fallen, and although Su Jiannan was a Second Layer Human Elixir Realm Expert, he was unable to catch up with Zhao Xiansheng, who was flying in the sky.
Now, all Su Jiannan could hope for was that Lin Bai might somehow hinder Zhao Xiansheng.
Otherwise, the talents of the Spirit Sword Sect would surely be slain on this day by Zhao Xiansheng!
"Master, be extremely careful of Qing Haitian!" Lin Bai warned.
Su Jiannan responded, "Don’t worry, both Qing Haitian and I are at the Second Layer of the Human Elixir Realm. If it comes down to a fight to the death, it’s hard to say who will win!"
As Su Jiannan uttered these words, his eyes flashed ominously.
It was clear that he harbored deep hatred for Canghai Yuntai Palace and for Qing Haitian!
Over the years, almost ten thousand geniuses from the Spirit Sword Sect had fallen at the hands of Canghai Yuntai Palace. As the current Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect, how could Su Jiannan not be enraged?
Lin Bai nodded apathetically; his Feng Lei Divine Wings spread out, and he soared into the sky, charging after Zhao Xiansheng!
