Chapter 1145: Chapter 1143: Saint Mansion! Hongmen Banquet! (5 updates)

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, the Saint invites you to gather at the Saint Mansion!"

Chu Yue said with a smile to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai turned around and saw Yejian Jun standing up in the arena, looking at Lin Bai with a smile that was not quite a smile.

In that smile, there was a knife hidden among the laughter.

Kang Yiyang and Jian Ruohan both looked astonished, as they had not expected Yejian Jun to invite Lin Bai to the Saint Mansion.

"Brother Lin, you’re not being very considerate, are you? You’ve met with the Saint and you don’t plan to share this with us?" Kang Yiyang said with a smile.

Kang Yiyang thought Lin Bai and Yejian Jun were good friends, and joked so.

"I’m afraid this visitor bears ill intentions!" upon hearing Kang Yiyang’s words, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent as he spoke.

Suddenly.

Kang Yiyang and Jian Ruohan’s expressions changed upon hearing Lin Bai’s words. From what Lin Bai hinted, it seemed Yejian Jun’s invitation was not for reminiscence, but rather for seeking vengeance!

Jian Ruohan asked coldly, "What’s going on? Lin Bai!"

Kang Yiyang’s face showed shock as well, saying, "Brother Lin, has something happened?"

Hearing their words, Lin Bai took a deep breath, looked at Chu Yue, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chu Yue, what if I don’t go? What do you plan to do then? Force me to go?"

Chu Yue said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lin Bai is jesting. The Saint invites you over just for a small gathering. If Junior Brother Lin Bai really doesn’t wish to go, then I have no other way!"

"I would simply have to invite someone else, such as Tang Bufan, Jian Ruohan, Ye Suxin, Kang Shiyun, Kang Yiyang, and of course, Bai Xiaoxiao..."

"Or perhaps I should make a trip to Shenwu Kingdom? Invite the disciples from Spirit Sword Sect? Or Ji Bei?"

Humm—

When Kang Yiyang and Jian Ruohan heard this, it was clear that it was a threat to Lin Bai!

Anger immediately appeared on their faces.

"You’re courting death!" Lin Bai said coldly upon hearing Chu Yue say such a thing.

"Hahaha, whether I’m courting death or not, that’s not for Junior Brother Lin Bai to say. Now, Junior Brother Lin Bai, think carefully before you respond to my question. Will you go, or not?" Chu Yue said coldly, with a laugh.

Lin Bai’s expression was dark as he looked at Chu Yue, and after a while, he let out a cold laugh and said, "Heh, since the Saint has invited me, how could I refuse? Please lead the way, Senior Brother Chu Yue."

"Good, straightforward."

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, please."

Chu Yue made a "please" gesture.

Lin Bai’s expression was somber as he stepped forward.

Jian Ruohan quickly came forward, "Lin Bai, I’ll go with you."

Chu Yue hastily stopped Jian Ruohan, speaking with a light laugh, "Miss Jian Ruohan, the Saint has only invited Lin Bai. Since he has already agreed to go, if Miss Jian Ruohan wishes to visit the Saint Mansion, it seems you will have to wait until next time."

Jian Ruohan stared at Chu Yue and said coldly, "What exactly are you trying to do!"

Chu Yue replied with a sneer, "What do we want to do? Better to ask Lin Bai what he has done. But now, he probably doesn’t have the time to explain in detail to you. We’ll have to wait until he comes out of the Saint Mansion... if he still has a life to come out with that is!"

Chu Yue let out a cold, cruel laugh.

Lin Bai turned his head and said, "Ruohan, I’ll be fine."

"Let’s go, Senior Brother Chu Yue. The person the Saint is looking for is me; it has nothing to do with them. I hope the Saint Mansion will not make things difficult for my friends."

"Nor for the Spirit Sword Sect!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

Chu Yue said with a smile, "As long as you are willing to comply, the Saint Mansion naturally won’t take action against a minor sect from Lingdong!"

"Please."

Chu Yue and Lin Bai left the square together, heading towards the Saint Mansion.

At this moment, Yejian Jun stepped down from the arena and left the square with Yan Yu and Wen Ye, returning to the Saint Mansion!

Kang Yiyang watched as Lin Bai followed Meng Yue away, and his face immediately darkened, "This is bad, something big is going to happen."

"Shiyun, go and inform Father that he must come to the Saint Mansion!" he ordered.

"I’ll go see what exactly has happened."

Without delay, Kang Yiyang took a step forward, following calmly behind Lin Bai and Chu Yue.

Jian Ruohan, without the slightest hesitation, left before Kang Yiyang to follow Lin Bai and Chu Yue.

"Why would the Saint invite Lin Bai to the Saint Mansion for no reason?" Wei Feng said, not understanding.

"Although Brother Chu Yue is always smiling when he speaks, the threat in his words is unmistakable," Dou Ning said calmly. "It seems Lin Bai has offended the Saint!"

"With his personality, not offending others is impossible!" Yejian Qiu said coldly, chasing after Jian Ruohan.

"Let’s go, let’s see what happens at the Saint Mansion. Something big might happen today."

Wei Feng and Dou Ning exchanged glances and hurriedly pursued.

...

Lin Bai and Chu Yue walked side by side.

Chu Yue said with a smile, "It seems you have quite the popularity. Even your friends have followed."

Lin Bai replied coldly, "Where they go isn’t my concern, but since I have agreed to go to the Saint Mansion, please don’t lay a hand on my friends!"

"Hehe, same as before, as long as you obediently follow me to the Saint Mansion, I won’t touch your friends," Chu Yue said coldly. "Ke Han, did you kill him?"

Lin Bai gave a cold smile, "Yes."

Chu Yue sneered, "Do you know that just by your answer to that one word, I can kill you right now?"

Lin Bai said coldly, "Then you’d better make your move a hard one, so I don’t live to escape. Otherwise, just for threatening me using my friends and Spirit Sword Sect, I will make sure that you die without a complete corpse!"

Chu Yue said coldly, "Let’s see if you can still walk out of the Saint Mansion alive."

"Here we are, that’s the Saint Mansion ahead."

Chu Yue gave a cold smile.

Lin Bai looked up and saw an extremely luxurious palace ahead, built opulently, exuding the powerful aura of high status, clearly an important place atop First Peak!

"Please, the Saint is already waiting for you."

Chu Yue smiled coldly, stepping forward and pushing open the grand doors of the Saint Mansion!

Lin Bai, with an impassive expression, stepped into the Saint Mansion.

Only after Lin Bai entered, did Chu Yue close the grand doors behind him.

As Lin Bai entered the Saint Mansion, he reached the main hall and looked up to see a white-haired man sitting on a high seat, looking at Lin Bai with a cold, merciless gaze, his mouth twisted in a cruel smile.

Next to the white-haired man was a spirit tablet, inscribed with: The Spirit of Ke Han!

Beneath the white-haired man, Wen Ye and Yan Yu both looked on with cold eyes as Lin Bai approached!

...

"Has he already gone inside?" Kang Yiyang and Jian Ruohan arrived one after the other and exclaimed in surprise.

"No matter what happens, I have to go in and see for myself," Jian Ruohan said, ready to rush into the Saint Mansion.

Kang Yiyang hurriedly grabbed Jian Ruohan, saying, "Have you lost your mind? On First Peak, breaking into the Saint Mansion is a capital offense!"

Jian Ruohan said coldly, "I can’t care about that right now!"

Kang Yiyang said coldly, "Miss Jian Ruohan, I have already sent Shiyun to inform my father. Once my father arrives, with his status as the Five Peaks Peak Master, entering the Saint Mansion won’t be difficult."

"We should wait patiently for a while."

Jian Ruohan’s face showed urgency, but she also knew that, with no disturbance at the Saint Mansion at the moment, barging in would not be a wise move!
