The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 116 - 116 116 Number One in the Outer Sect!

116: Chapter 116: Number One in the Outer Sect!

116: Chapter 116: Number One in the Outer Sect!

Seeing Qi Xuan fallen on the ground, Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief, as the outer sect ranking battle had finally ended.

“Qi Xuan!”

Su Cang stood up again from his chair, seeing Qi Xuan dead, Su Cang’s anger was uncontrollable.

Ignoring Ji Bei’s opposition, he flew directly towards Lin Bai, launching a deadly punch!

“Su Cang, this is the Spirit Sword Sect, it won’t tolerate your provocation of sect rules!”

Seeing Su Cang attack, Ji Bei hastily darted towards Su Cang.

“Ji Bei, you dare to talk big in front of me even being at the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, it won’t be long before I can reach your level.

Then, killing you will be as easy as slaughtering a dog!”

“Get out of my way!”

Su Cang glared at Ji Bei, roaring in anger.

Ji Bei, at the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, was one of the ten elders in the Elder Pavilion, and also one of the most powerful elders in the entire Spirit Sword Sect.

As for Su Cang, his cultivation was lower, currently only at the eighth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm.

“I said, the sect rules do not allow for provocation!”

Ji Bei said coldly, blocking Su Cang.

“Hahaha, Ji Bei, Lin Bai is a heinous criminal, are you still planning to protect him?”

At this time, from a distance, a sound of wild laughter traveled, and a figure swiftly entered the martial arts arena.

“Grand Elder!”

“Paying respect to the Grand Elder!”

With the Grand Elder’s arrival, the entire arena bowed in reverence.

The Grand Elder controlled the Elder Pavilion, besides the current Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, he was the most powerful person in the Spirit Sword Sect, even higher than Ji Bei in realm!

Seeing the arrival of the Grand Elder, Ji Bei’s face also showed a touch of coldness.

The Grand Elder glanced at Lin Bai, pointed at Lin Bai and coldly said, “Lin Bai has committed a monstrous crime, killing his fellow disciple in the martial arts competition.

Isn’t this a violation of the sect rules?

Ji Bei, you intend to shield him.”

Su Cang then remembered, killing was not allowed in the martial arts competition.

Killing in the martial arts competition was indeed a violation of the sect rules!

“Yes, killing is not allowed in the martial arts competition, Lin Bai dared to flout the sect rules, mercilessly killing his fellow disciples in the competition.

He deserves the death penalty!”

Su Cang also said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Bei was immediately infuriated.

Yes, killing was not allowed in martial arts competition.

Ji Bei just wanted to use the sect rules as an excuse to protect Lin Bai.

But he didn’t expect the Grand Elder and Su Cang to put pressure on him relentlessly, showing no scope for negotiation.

Looking at the situation, Ji Bei guessed that Su Cang and the Grand Elder wanted to execute Lin Bai on the spot!

Ji Bei said coldly, “Even if Lin Bai has violated the sect rules, he should be handed over to the Enforcement Hall for disposal.

Both of you may hold high positions, but please do not overstep your authority!”

“I will hand him over to the Second Elder, to the Enforcement Hall right now!”

The Second Elder was also one of the top ten elders of the Spirit Sword Sect, second only to the Grand Elder in strength, in charge of the Enforcement Hall of the Spirit Sword Sect.

The Grand Elder said coldly, “There’s no need.

As the First Elder in the Elder Pavilion, I naturally have the authority to make decisions on behalf of the Second Elder.

Lin Bai, your crime is unforgivable.

Execute him on the spot!”

“Grand Elder, you don’t need to meddle in the matters of my Enforcement Hall!”

Right at that moment, a calm voice permeated the surroundings.

An elder in a purple robe, with a head full of grey hair, entered the martial arts arena.

He walked with his hands behind him, his whole body exuding an overwhelming aura.

“Second Elder!” The Grand Elder stared at the Second Elder coldly.

The Second Elder supported the Sword Alliance and was always at odds with the Grand Elder, for whom the Grand Elder had long since harbored deep hatred.

When the Second Elder entered the arena, he glanced at Lin Bai and said, “Lin Bai, did you willingly kill a fellow disciple in the martial arts competition?”

Lin Bai said, “Not willingly, they wanted to kill me, and I had to fight back.”

What Lin Bai said was also true.

Whether it was Lin Qiusheng, Wen Yuanjia, Qi Xuan, Li Mo, Zhao Xing, Qi Yuanhao, Jiang Yuansheng or Qi Shaolong, they all wanted to kill him.

Lin Bai had to kill them to save his own life.

The Second Elder glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground and sneered, “Hmm, they wanted to kill, doesn’t that mean others cannot kill them?

This is ridiculous.

As the Master of the Enforcement Hall, I declare Lin Bai not guilty!”

“Thank you Second Elder!” Lin Bai expressed his gratitude.

If the rules were strictly followed, even if Lin Bai was forced to defend himself and killed them, he would still have killed people.

He would have fallen into the Enforcement Hall and most likely would have met a dire fate.

“Second Elder!”

Su Cang roared in anger, “He has killed hundreds of my Divine Alliance warriors, including Qi Xuan and Xiang Tianyi.

Are you just going to exonerate him based on your single sentence?”

The Second Elder chuckled, “Young Sect Leader, if your Divine Alliance warriors were truly capable, they would challenge Lin Bai themselves.

Why would you and the Grand Elder need to intervene?

Using your Heaven Martial Realm cultivation to suppress a practitioner from the Xuanwu Realm, isn’t that ridiculous?”

Su Cang retorted coldly, “Second Elder, are you truly willing to break all ties with me, Su Cang?”

“Young Sect Leader, you misunderstand.

I am simply following the rules,” the Second Elder replied calmly.

“Very good, very good.”

Su Cang uttered these words repeatedly in frustration.

“Lin Bai, from this point onwards, the Divine Alliance and you will never share the same sky!”

“In the Spirit Sword Sect, if I exist, you shall not; if you exist, I shall not!”

“Just wait for the Divine Alliance’s vengeful retaliation.”

Su Cang gave a cold snort before turning around to depart.

“Second Elder, you chose the wrong side,” the Grand Elder said with a patronising smile.

“Who chose the wrong side is yet to be determined,” the Second Elder responded in an equally cold tone.

“Hmph.” The Grand Elder snorted coldly before leaving the Martial Arts Competition Arena.

The Second Elder looked at Ji Bei and shook his head slightly, his eyes full of desolation.

That day to protect Lin Bai, the Second Elder and Ji Bei, had completely torn their facades with the Young Sect Leader and the Grand Elder.

The Second Elder looked at Lin Bai and said, “You remind me of him.”

“Who?” Lin Bai asked.

“Jian Xuan.” The Second Elder smiled and left the Martial Arts Stage.

As Su Cang, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder left, the rest of the warriors in the Martial Arts Competition Arena began to regain their senses.

The confrontation between the three high-ranking members of the Spirit Sword Sect had them frightened to their core, they even dared not breathe loudly.

Ji Bei raised his voice and said, “Who else wishes to challenge Lin Bai?”

Ji Bei looked at Lijian Xing and Li Qingxuan.

The only warriors who had made it to the top ten were Li Qingxuan and Lijian Xing.

The sibling pair exchanged looks before shaking their heads with bitter smiles.

Lin Bai singlehandedly killed six high-ranked experts, challenging him would be equivalent to courting death.

Moreover, Lin Bai was originally a warrior from the Sword Alliance.

Li Qingxuan and Lijian Xing saw no need to challenge him again.

“Since no one dares to challenge, then, I declare the first place winner of this outer sect disciple ranking battle is…

Lin Bai!”

Ji Bei announced to the whole audience.

“Roar!”

“Good on you, Senior Brother Lin Bai, for getting us the Sword Alliance some honor.”

“Haha, after so many years, finally, one of our Sword Alliance warriors is in the top position of the outer sect.”

“Long live the Sword Alliance!”

Only the warriors from the Sword Alliance were chanting Lin Bai’s name, while others, the Divine Alliance warriors, sneered at Lin Bai.

Some Divine Alliance warriors even left after seeing Su Cang’s departure.

The outer sect disciple ranking battle officially closed!

From the top ten, only three survived.

First place, Lin Bai.

Second place, Li Qingxuan.

Third place, Lijian Xing.

Beyond these, there were none.
