The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 704 - 702: Heading to the Miracle Ridge (60th Update)

Chapter 704: Chapter 702: Heading to the Miracle Ridge (60th Update)

At dawn.

"Are you really decided on accompanying me to the Miracle Ridge?" Lin Bai looked at the First Princess, asking with a smile.

The First Princess spoke gravely, "Wu Song’s arrival this time made me realize that only by possessing great power can I control my own fate, and escape the destiny of being manipulated by others!"

"I want to go to the Miracle Ridge to search for greater power!"

The First Princess asserted, "Don’t underestimate me. I have an authentic Martial Soul of Earth Grade 3, and I am now at the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm in cultivation. Although there is some gap between us, as long as I don’t compare myself to you, a monster of power, I still have the power to fight against other Warriors!"

Lin Bai laughed, "Alright then, let’s go to the Miracle Ridge together. It just happens to be a three-to-four-month journey from Shenwu Kingdom to the Miracle Ridge. It would be quite dull without a beauty to accompany me during this time."

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s compliment, the First Princess couldn’t help but smile.

The First Princess shed her royal aura and dressed in a plain and elegant white robe. With a thin veil over her face, she walked beside Lin Bai.

The First Princess that moment didn’t exude the previously frosty and intimidating aura. She walked next to Lin Bai, much like a housewife.

"Let’s head to the Treasure Pavilion. Every once in a while, the Treasure Pavilion arranges a Flying Spirit Artifact to transport Warriors from the Lingdong 700 States to the Miracle Ridge."

"Taking the Treasure Pavilion’s Flying Spirit Artifact will save us from many hassles along the way and allow us to reach the Miracle Ridge the fastest."

These were the First Princess’s suggestions.

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Alright, let’s head to the Treasure Pavilion."

Inside the Treasure Pavilion at the Imperial Capital of the Shenwu Kingdom.

The First Princess, now dressed head to toe in simple white, completely concealed the noble aura of her royal lineage. She looked just like a woman next door as she walked through the Treasure Pavilion. No one realized that she was actually the Shenwu Kingdom’s First Princess.

"How may I assist you, sir?"

The moment he walked into the Treasure Pavilion, a young man greeted him with a smile.

Lin Bai responded with a faint smile, "I would like to ask if there’s any group headed to the Miracle Ridge anytime soon?"

The young man happily answered, "Ah, sir, you’ve arrived just in time. An hour from now, there will be a Flying Spirit Artifact coming from the Holy Night Dynasty and entering our Imperial City, bound for the Miracle Ridge."

"However, the fare to take a ride on the Flying Spirit Artifact to Miracle Ridge is quite expensive, costing one million Spirit Stones per person."

Lin Bai didn’t appear disturbed and said, "Money is not the issue. Please reserve two seats for us."

The young man beamed, "Sure thing, sir. You can pay the Spirit Stones now and then rest in the private room. As soon as the Flying Spirit Artifact arrives, I’ll inform you. How does that sound?"

Lin Bai responded with a laugh, "Fine by me."

He immediately paid a total of two million Spirit Stones and handed them over to the young man.

The young man led Lin Bai into a large lounge where there were already about a hundred Warriors seated.

The young man chuckled, "Sir, they’re all headed to the Miracle Ridge. While you wait, you can chat with them."

"If you’ll excuse me now."

Lin Bai nodded and found a spot to sit down with the First Princess.

As Lin Bai entered the lounge, a man shrouded in a black robe at a dark corner slightly raised his head to look at Lin Bai, revealing intimidating murderous intent in his eyes.

"Lin Bai!"

The man in the black robe had an angry, murderous intent in his eyes.

If Lin Bai could see his face, he would surely be astonished. This man was the Master of the Fire Palace, Huo Lingtian. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Huo Lingtian was on his way to the Miracle Ridge primarily to purchase Spiritual Medicine and Elixir Pills, to enhance his cultivation and break through to the Human Elixir Realm’s Second Layer.

Huo Lingtian now knew about Su Jiannan, the Warrior at the Human Elixir Realm’s Second Layer residing in the Spirit Sword Sect, and realized that it was nearly impossible for him to avenge his son’s death by killing Lin Bai.

So, Huo Lingtian almost emptied the last resources of the Fire Palace, brought ten billion Spirit Stones, and prepared to go to the Miracle Ridge to purchase pills capable of helping him break through to the Human Elixir Realm’s Second Layer. Then, he planned to go to the Spirit Sword Sect and find an opportunity to kill Lin Bai to avenge his son’s death.

By then, even if Huo Lingtian did kill Lin Bai, Su Jiannan wouldn’t dare to kill him lightly with his cultivation at the Human Elixir Realm’s Second Layer.

However, Huo Lingtian did not expect to encounter Lin Bai on their way to the Miracle Ridge.

"What a small world."

"Since you’re not hiding in the Spirit Sword Sect and sparing your life, and you want to go to the Miracle Ridge, then I find it perfect. I will kill you on the way!"

"Commited midway, Su Jiannan won’t find out that I did it."

Huo Lingtian adjusted his cloak, lowered his head, and hid his aura, intending to not draw any attention to himself.

Just after Lin Bai had sat down, he suddenly paled, turned his head, and looked sharply in a certain direction.

The First Princess whispered, "What happened?"

Lin Bai responded, "I feel as if someone is watching me, and their gaze harbors ill-intent."

The First Princess looked curiously in the direction indicated by Lin Bai. Finding nothing unusual, she said, "Lin Bai, you have a knack for attracting trouble. Don’t you know that there are countless people in the world who would stand against you?"

Lin Bai laughed awkwardly, "It’s not that I love stirring up trouble. It’s just that people love to tangle with me."

The First Princess said, "Enough, don’t overthink it. Maybe someone has recognized who you are and is just looking at you more intently."

Lin Bai thought that what the First Princess said made sense, so he responded with a wry smile, "It seems that being famous sometimes is not a good thing. I need to learn to be more low-key."

The First Princess laughed, "Can you actually be low-key?"

"Maybe."

Lin Bai responded with an awkward smile.

The First Princess smiled lightly without commenting, since she knew Lin Bai’s personality quite well.

When Lin Bai acted, he was always firm, decisive, and never hesitated to kill when needed, regardless of the opponent’s identity or background. He was always unafraid of confronting powerful parties and did not fear their tyranny.

Moreover, Lin Bai was always sincere to his friends.

As Lin Bai and the First Princess were engaged in idle chat, an hour slowly passed by.

At this point, the young man who had guided Lin Bai and the First Princess returned. He walked up to the wall, triggered some mechanism, and a portion of the wall opened up.

The young man cheered, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Treasure Pavilion’s Flying Spirit Artifact has arrived. Please board and head to the Miracle Ridge."

Lin Bai and the First Princess looked up to see a huge object descending slowly from the sky after the wall had opened.

It was a large ship, flying in mid-air.

"What’s the number of people departing from the Imperial City of Shenwu Kingdom bound for the Miracle Ridge?"

A burly man with a muscular physique called from the ship’s deck, shouting to the young man with gory fury.

The young man startled at the man’s terrifying roar, quickly responded, "Lord Qin Bao, currently in the Imperial City of the Shenwu Kingdom, there are 312 people headed to the Miracle Ridge."

Qin Bao said, "Then that’s just right. The ship can’t take many more people. Once we reach Shenwu Kingdom, we won’t go to the Dayue Kingdom anymore. We’ll head straight to the Miracle Ridge."

"Tell them to board."

Qin Bao swept his gaze over the crowd. Under his gaze, all the Warriors in the lounge shivered, feeling as though they were all seen through.

"He’s pretty strong. He seems to have to cultivation beyond the Human Elixir Realm Fifth Layer," the First Princess commented quietly.
