Chapter 1144 - 1142: Saint Challenge Day!

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1142: Saint Challenge Day!

After familiarizing himself with the Transcendent Martial Spirit in the room,

It was half a day later that Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan left the boudoir together.

Jian Ruohan’s face once again resumed its usual cold expression, void of smiles.

In the hall, Yejian Qiu, Dou Ning, Wei Feng and others were still seated, waiting. Upon seeing Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan emerge, Yejian Qiu also stood up smiling to greet them!

"Ruohan, have you and Brother Lin settled your matter?" Yejian Qiu asked curiously.

"It’s settled, it wasn’t anything serious, just a casual chat." Lin Bai replied with a light smile, "Since that’s the case, Ruohan, Brother Ye, I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Lin Bai prepared to leave Jian Ruohan’s place.

At this moment, Yejian Qiu called out to Lin Bai, "Brother Lin, today is the monthly Saint Challenge Day. We all plan to go to the First Peak to see the prowess of the Saints. If you don’t have any important matters, let’s go together."

"The monthly Saint Challenge Day?" Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately showed a look of awkwardness on his face and laughed bitterly, "Yejian Jun, that fellow, probably isn’t keen on seeing me now."

Lin Bai had killed Ke Han and also Yejian Jun’s avatar. At that time, Hua Yuxian had warned Lin Bai that Yejian Jun would not let matters rest easily.

Jian Ruohan asked with a smile, "Lin Bai, do you have any pressing matters next? I remember when you came to the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, it was to challenge the Saints. Today being the Saint Challenge Day, you could see the Saints in action. Knowing your enemy allows you to emerge victorious in every battle."

"If you don’t have any other plans, then let’s go take a look."

Jian Ruohan remembered, when Lin Bai arrived at the Five Peaks, he had indeed asked how one could become a Saint!

Hearing Jian Ruohan’s words, Lin Bai pondered for a moment.

"Indeed, I have never seen Yejian Jun’s true self in action and do not know just how powerful Yejian Jun truly is. That avatar possessed only a fraction of Yejian Jun’s strength..."

"If I could see Yejian Jun’s true self in action, that would indeed be greatly beneficial for my future!"

"Besides, this place is the Five Peaks. Even if Yejian Jun wants to kill me, it probably won’t be that easy."

"I have three Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifacts in my hand, even if Yejian Jun is ready to kill me at all costs, I still have the power to protect myself!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath and thought deeply for a long time.

"Alright then, let’s go have a look."

Lin Bai gave a faint smile.

Immediately following, Yejian Qiu, Jian Ruohan, Lin Bai, Dou Ning, Wei Feng, and the others all headed towards the First Peak together.

Today being the Saint Challenge Day, many warriors from various places had gathered at the First Peak.

Lin Bai and his companions arrived at a vast plaza, where there were several tens of thousands of warriors present.

In the center of the plaza, there was an arena where a man dressed in white robes with white hair was sitting cross-legged atop the Martial Arts Stage, waiting for challengers to arrive.

"Yejian Jun!"

Upon arriving amidst the crowd, Lin Bai spotted the white-haired man, who was unmistakably the same white-haired man he had encountered in the Nine Stages of Blood Mountain.

Jian Ruohan’s gaze rested on Yejian Jun, who was seated cross-legged on the arena. He softly told Lin Bai, "Yejian Jun rose unexpectedly five years ago, defeating the previous Saint, Ji Guan, to claim the position of Saint!"

"After Yejian Jun ascended to the position of Saint, he has never fought with his full strength again!"

"And now on the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, the only people who truly know Yejian Jun’s strength, besides a few of his close confidants, are probably only the three Sect Leader Supremes."

Jian Ruohan said softly.

Lin Bai curiously asked, "How many confidants does Yejian Jun have by his side?"

Jian Ruohan replied, "It is said there are four!"

"Ke Han, Wen Ye, Yan Yu, Chu Yue."

"These four are not only veteran Spiritual Children, but they are also all at the Great Perfection state of the Heavenly Elixir Realm."

"See those three men standing under the arena? There are Wen Ye, Yan Yu, and Chu Yue, although it seems that Ke Han isn’t here today."

Jian Ruohan’s eyes looked towards the three men standing under the arena and he softly told Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked down, and sure enough, under the arena, three men stood. All three of them radiated terrifying waves of power, clearly all at the Great Perfection state of the Heavenly Elixir Realm without a doubt.

Lin Bai silently nodded.

Ke Han didn’t come?

Lin Bai knew more than anyone why Ke Han hadn’t come, probably because Yama didn’t allow him to return to life, so he couldn’t come.

Dou Ning shook his head and said, "Alas, it seems that no one dares to challenge the Saint this month either."

Wei Feng spoke lightly, "Exactly, on the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge, although there are many experts, the only ones who really have the ability to challenge the Saint are just Wen Ye, Yan Yu, Chu Yue, Ji Guan, and Liang Kun."

"And among them, Wen Ye, Yan Yu, and Chu Yue are the confidantes of the Saint, so naturally, they would not make a move!"

"What about Ji Guan? The former Saint, his strength is good, but now it is said that he is in seclusion trying to make a breakthrough!"

"Next would only be Liang Kun, who was recently heard to have been seriously injured and was sent back to the Five Peaks by Hua Yuxian. He’s still recovering!"

"Besides these five, who else dares to challenge the Saint?"

Wei Feng said lightly.

Lin Bai silently listened to the conversation between Wei Feng and Dou Ning.

At this time, a man and a woman came walking from a distance.

"Brother Lin, it’s been several months, but your cultivation has improved significantly," the two said to Lin Bai as they approached with smiles.

Lin Bai looked up and smiled, "Senior Brother Kang Yiyang, Senior Sister Kang Shiyun."

Kang Shiyun came over and said uninterestedly, "With your current cultivation, calling me ’Senior Sister,’ are you mocking me? Senior Brother Lin Bai ..."

"Hahaha," Lin Bai laughed awkwardly.

Kang Yiyang shook his head lightly and said, "It seems today no one has the courage to challenge the Saint either. It’s been a full year now, and no one has dared to challenge the Saint."

Lin Bai was shocked, "Has it been a whole year with no one challenging?"

Kang Yiyang nodded, "Yes. Wen Ye, Yan Yu, and Chu Yue are all confidantes of the Saint, Ji Guan is in seclusion, Liang Kun is severely injured, and no one else is worth mentioning."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately nodded silently.

Soon, the day was about to pass, and the sun sets in the west.

"It looks like today, no one will challenge. Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave first," Lin Bai said with a smile after seeing that there was no one taking the stage as the sun set.

Jian Ruohan spoke indifferently, "I thought Liang Kun would take the stage today to show you the Saint’s cultivation. Didn’t expect he wouldn’t come, so it turned out to be a wasted trip for us."

Lin Bai shook his head and laughed, "No matter, consider it a day of rest."

"Let’s go, Brother Kang, Ruohan, Kang Shiyun, Brother Ye ..."

Lin Bai greeted the people around him, preparing to leave the First Peak.

Just as Lin Bai and the others were about to leave, a blue-robed man approached them with a cold smile on his face.

This person came straight to Lin Bai and smiled, "Are you Lin Bai?"

"Chu Yue!" Kang Yiyang and the Kangs, Jian Ruohan, and Yejian Qiu were all shocked when they saw this person.

Lin Bai saw this person, who had been introduced earlier by Jian Ruohan as Meng Yue, one of Yejian Jun’s confidants.

His appearance here likely meant no good!

Lin Bai’s expression turned serious, and he nodded, "I am Lin Bai!"

Meng Yue smiled slightly, "Junior Brother Lin Bai, the Saint has sent a message, asking me to invite Junior Brother Lin Bai to the Saint Mansion for a gathering!"

As Meng Yue spoke, he glanced towards Yejian Jun!

Lin Bai looked back and saw Yejian Jun, who had been meditating on the arena, now stood up and looked at Lin Bai with a mild smile on his face.

But that smile, was concealing a knife!

Jian Ruohan and Kang Yiyang were both slightly shocked; they could naturally see Yejian Jun’s intention, probably meaning no good!
