The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 685 - 683: Have you forgotten how mighty I was yesterday?

Chapter 685: Chapter 683: Have you forgotten how mighty I was yesterday?

The second day!

The moon of Dayue Kingdom, always so bright and round.

Standing in the Imperial Capital, it appeared as though the radiant moon hung atop the Forbidden City.

"The moon is already at its zenith, yet Lin Bai hasn’t shown up. Could he be too scared to come?"

"Indeed, there are several million warriors gathered in the Forbidden City, all anticipating the start of the battle."

"Why hasn’t he arrived?"

"On the contrary, the King of Sheng Yue has been waiting for quite a while."

"Not only has the King of Sheng Yue arrived, but look over there, the twelve Human Elixir Realm warriors from Sheng Yue Sect have gathered as well—a rather grim sight."

Atop the tallest tower in the Forbidden City, the King of Sheng Yue stood as if bathed in moonlight, eyes closed, waiting for Lin Bai’s arrival.

Below, the royal family of Dayue Kingdom and the civil and military officials all were silently waiting.

By the side of Dayue Kingdom’s Emperor, his exquisite consort Yun wore a look of indifference.

While next to her, Toba Xiu wore a smile.

After the killing of Tuoba Feng by Lin Bai, as Crown Prince, Toba Xiu had immediately grasped all the military powers of Dayue Kingdom, and also conveniently dealt with the royal disciples who held some grudge against him.

Now, in Dayue Kingdom’s royal court, it could be said unequivocally that Crown Prince Toba Xiu held all the power.

As for the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, he spent his entire day accompanying Consort Yun, unable to leave her for a moment. He knew his time was running out, he wouldn’t live much longer, so he wanted to enjoy the company of this worldly woman as much as he could.

Opposite the royal family of Dayue Kingdom, Chu Jiangliu was drinking wine with a group of Shenwu Kingdom’s officers.

Above the Forbidden City.

Lin Bai, along with the First Princess, stood atop flying swords, looking down at the twelve Human Elixir Realm warriors inside the Forbidden City.

"So, they really didn’t leave." Lin Bai was most concerned about these twelve Elixir Realm experts." ƒreewebɳovel.com

This was the most critical part of the plan.

The First Princess asked, "So, what’s next?"

"Let me first inform the Sect Leader."

As Lin Bai spoke, he pulled out a Shadow Transmission Compass from his storage bag.

After activating it with True Qi, a solemn-faced Su Jiannan appeared on the compass.

Su Jiannan asked, "Lin Bai, what is the situation?"

Lin Bai replied casually, "Presently, there are twelve Sheng Yue Sect Elixir Realm experts in the Imperial Capital, among them, two are at the Second Layer of Human Elixir Realm!"

Su Jiannan said, "Two at the second layer of Human Elixir Realm, meaning one of them must be the Sheng Yue Sect Leader."

"Now that the Elixir Realm experts have all gathered at the Imperial Capital, it is the perfect opportunity for us to take action."

"Lin Bai, shall we take action now?"

Su Jiannan asked Lin Bai.

Lin Bai calmly responded, "You can take action, but be cautious. Remember not to reveal any faces, otherwise, even if we rescue Sword Xuan Senior Brother, if the Sheng Yue Sect finds out, it would bring infinite trouble to Spirit Sword Sect!"

Once Lin Bai had communicated with Su Jiannan, he put away the Shadow Transmission Compass.

The First Princess said, "If your intention was to lure the Human Elixir Realm experts from Sheng Yue Sect to the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom, can’t you just avoid fighting the King of Sheng Yue and go directly to Sheng Yue Sect to save Sword Xuan now?"

"No, I have to show my face in the Imperial Capital. Our goal is not only to rescue Sword Xuan, but also to ensure that Sheng Yue Sect doesn’t know Spirit Sword Sect acted."

"Otherwise, if I don’t fight the King of Sheng Yue now, once word gets out about the incident in Sheng Yue Sect, they’ll immediately suspect it as Spirit Sword Sect’s doing."

"By that time, if more than a dozen Human Elixir Realm experts from Sheng Yue Sect attack the Spirit Sword Sect together, wouldn’t that be trouble?"

"So, I must battle the King of Sheng Yue at the Forbidden Summit and let all the warriors of Dayue Kingdom and the Sheng Yue Sect know that I, Lin Bai, am in the Imperial Capital. This matter would definitely not be associated with the Spirit Sword Sect."

"After my battle against the King of Sheng Yue, I will head straight to Sheng Yue Sect via a flying sword. With the speed of the flying sword, I would reach Sheng Yue Sect within an hour!"

Lin Bai said solemnly.

The First Princess sighed lightly, "It seems you’ve thought this through very carefully."

Lin Bai laughed, "Didn’t you say it earlier? This is an adventure and if something goes wrong, not only would I perish, but the entire Spirit Sword Sect would be wiped out."

The First Princess expressed her concern, "Alright, go. Do you have the confidence to defeat the King of Sheng Yue?"

Lin Bai replied with a wicked grin, "Piece of cake!"

The First Princess was still apprehensive.

"After my fight with the King of Sheng Yue, I will immediately escape on a flying sword. You must protect yourself."

Lin Bai said to the First Princess.

The First Princess said, "Don’t worry, I will naturally take care of myself. Anyway, now Toba Xiu intends to mend relations with Shenwu Kingdom, he most likely won’t harm me."

"After you leave, I will return to the border of Shenwu Kingdom."

"I will wait for you and Spirit Sword Sect at the border. If someone chases you, I can block them."

"You must remember to be careful. Your upcoming battle with the King of Sheng Yue, followed by your immediate journey to Sheng Yue Sect, it’s like pulling a tooth from a tiger’s mouth. A small mistake could lead to a catastrophe."

"I don’t want the next time I see you to be when I mourn by your grave."

The First Princess spoke softly.

"Alright!"

Lin Bai nodded affirmatively and immediately stepped on his flying sword, transforming into a stream of golden light and descending from the cloud top.
