The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 678 - 676: I Heard You’ve Become Arrogant...

Lin Bai stood by the window, taking in at a glance all the warriors within a dozen blocks surrounding the Inviting Moon Tower.

At that moment, those who saw Lin Bai standing at the window on the ninth floor were filled with excitement and cheers.

At that very moment, Lin Bai’s martial heart, Lin Bai’s strong heart, became incredibly resolute.

"Sir, your wine is ready!"

Suddenly, a gentle female voice came from behind Lin Bai.

"Place it on the table." Lin Bai withdrew his gaze from the window and turned to walk towards the table for a drink.

But as Lin Bai turned around and saw the woman behind him, his eyes widened in shock.

"First Princess, why are you here!"

Lin Bai exclaimed with great surprise.

The First Princess was holding a dish, on top of which were two pots of fine wine.

When she saw Lin Bai, her eyes flashed with an icy coldness, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I heard you’ve been getting cocky. I came to see just how far you can go!".

"Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Are you crazy?"

"You... you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. How dare you provoke that guy from the Shengyue Sect who’s at the Human Elixir Realm!"

The First Princess pointedly admonished Lin Bai without any reserve.

A slight smile emerged on Lin Bai’s face, revealing a hint of awkwardness.

He glanced and saw Chu Jiangliu and the shopkeeper behind the First Princess.

The shopkeeper’s face was filled with unease as he looked at Lin Bai. Given the First Princess’s noble status, the shopkeeper of the Inviting Moon Tower wouldn’t dare hinder her, especially since she came with an army of five hundred thousand. Who among men could dare mess with her? He would have no wish to live.

When Chu Jiangliu heard the First Princess’s words, a hidden smirk formed on his face.

Lin Bai said, "Alright, shopkeeper, Prince Chu, you both can leave."

"Yes, Sword Prince!" Chu Jiangliu responded and turned to go.

The shopkeeper, however, left the ninth floor quicker than Chu Jiangliu, as if he had been granted amnesty.

The First Princess, in a huff, slammed the dish onto the table and glared furiously at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai came over with a playful smile and laughed, "Haha, this is the first time I’ve seen you like this, I must say, it’s pretty cute, kind of a girly vibe."

As he spoke, Lin Bai prepared to sit down for a drink.

But the First Princess sternly stared at Lin Bai, "Don’t you dare sit there, stand up properly!"

Chastised by the First Princess, Lin Bai immediately stood up straight, not daring to sit down again.

"Wha-wha-what. I... I’m drinking." Lin Bai pointed to the jug of wine on the table, saying with a smile.

The First Princess sternly replied, "Drink what? What time do you think it is, and you’re still drinking!"

Lin Bai laughed, "What time? It’s just dawn, and there’s a long way till dusk. The dawn in the Dayue Kingdom is quite beautiful. Especially on the ninth floor of the Inviting Moon Tower. When the morning sun rises, the golden sunlight spilling through the window...you can’t imagine how beautiful it is!"

The First Princess asked coldly, "Do you think I traveled all the way from the Shenwu Kingdom to the Dayue Kingdom to sightsee?"

"Uh..."

Lin Bai was awkward.

Although the First Princess reproached Lin Bai verbally, Lin Bai felt warm inside.

In this world of decline, only a person who truly cares about you would reprimand you.

If the First Princess didn’t have feelings for Lin Bai, she wouldn’t have almost started a war with the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

If the First Princess didn’t have feelings for Lin Bai, she wouldn’t have forsaken politics and traveled all the way from the Shenwu Kingdom to the Dayue Kingdom.

If the First Princess didn’t have feelings for Lin Bai, she wouldn’t be scolding him now.

The First Princess’s scorn meant more to Lin Bai than a million sweet nothings.

With her face still cold, the First Princess grabbed Lin Bai’s hand and sat him down, "What on earth are you trying to do! Why are you provoking the Human Elixir Realm’s master from the Shengyue Sect!"

"Even if you are very strong now, there’s still a huge gap between the Human Elixir Realm and the Half-step Divine Elixir Realm!"

"Moreover, within the Sheng Yue Sect, there are at least tens of experts in the Human Elixir Realm. Can you resist their combined attack?"

The First Princess worriedly said.

Lin Bai was sitting next to the First Princess. He knew about her worry. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I’m sorry for making you worry."

Lin Bai looked at the First Princess with affection, gave her a light smile, then gently hugged her, saying words of comfort.

The First Princess leaned against him, her icy tone gradually softening: "I don’t want anything to happen to you..."

Lin Bai exclaimed, "Nothing will, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary this time, I wouldn’t wish to provoke these experts in the Human Elixir Realm!"

"But I must do so in order to achieve my ultimate goal!"

The First Princess softly said, "What’s the matter?"

Lin Bai whispered, "According to reliable information, the Sword Xuan Senior Brother has been detained by the Sheng Yue Sect within the forbidden area behind its mountain!"

Hiss——

Upon hearing Sword Xuan’s name, the First Princess’s eyes widened, looking at Lin Bai in shock!

Who was Sword Xuan!

Every warrior in the Shenwu Kingdom, even a three-year-old, knew Sword Xuan’s name!

Sword Xuan was not only the first Dongling First Sword Cultivator in the history of the Spirit Sword Sect, but also the first warrior in the history of Shenwu Kingdom to achieve the honor of Dongling First Sword Cultivator.

Sword Xuan’s name was an eternal legend in Shenwu Kingdom.

"Is he still alive?" The First Princess exclaimed.

Lin Bai solemnly nodded.

The First Princess asked: "So, what does this have to do with you provoking the Human Elixir Realm experts of the Sheng Yue Sect?"

Lin Bai responded: "Now, the Spirit Sword Sect isn’t really strong, and there are over ten Human Elixir Realm experts in Sheng Yue Sect. Barging into the mountain gate of Sheng Yue Sect would surely be asking for death!"

"So, I have to lure out these Human Elixir Realm warriors! I have to buy some time for the Sect Leader and other elders of the Spirit Sword Sect!"

Lin Bai spoke slowly.

The First Princess at this instance, came to a full realization: "As long as these Human Elixir warriors are not in Sheng Yue Sect, given Spirit Sword Sect Leader Su Jiannan’s cultivation, he should be able to easily infiltrate their ranks! At that time, the chance of rescuing Sword Xuan will be great."

Lin Bai gave a nod with a slight smile.

The First Princess understood now why Lin Bai would go all out to provoke the Human Elixir Realm experts of the Sheng Yue Sect!

She understood why Lin Bai would painstakingly go to provoke the experts of the Human Elixir Realm!

The ultimate goal behind all this was to provoke these Human Elixir Realm experts, using his decisive battle with the Moon King to lure them all to the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom.

"But what you’re doing is too risky. What if these Human Elixir Realm warriors lose their patience, and decide to destroy you all at once, what then?" The First Princess asked, worriedly.

Lin Bai responded: "Life, after all, is an adventure!"

"As warriors, we were born to challenge fate, we’re not afraid of anything, let alone some danger."

At Lin Bai’s courageous declaration, the First Princess with a solemn look on her face said: "Well, I’ll give it my all to help you. I’ve brought a 500,000-strong army into Dayue Kingdom. If these old men want to show their true nature, we’ll fight them!"

"No! You mustn’t do anything!" Lin Bai quickly shook his head.

"Once you mobilize the military forces of Shenwu Kingdom, it will inevitably provoke the anger of Dayue Kingdom. At that time, war between the two countries would cause devastation in the Southern Region!"

"This is the Spirit Sword Sect’s problem, I won’t drag Shenwu Kingdom into it."

"No matter how many experts or Human Elixir Realm warriors come from the Sheng Yue Sect tomorrow, I do not authorize you to act!"

Lin Bai said with resolve.

Tomorrow was the time foreordained for the decisive battle!
