Chapter 1181 - 1179: High-Ranking Elder of the Heavenly Sound Court! Xiu Jin!

Chapter 1181: Chapter 1179: High-Ranking Elder of the Heavenly Sound Court! Xiu Jin!

Lin Bai rode his Flying Sword, heading straight for the Heavenly Sound Court.

A sharp aura enveloped the Heavenly Sound Court, and at this moment, all the high-ranking Elders and the Dean were shocked into motion, emerging from their dwellings and looking up just in time to see a man with piercing eyes standing on a giant golden sword!

"Who dares to trespass into the Heavenly Sound Court?"

"You dare to intrude upon one of the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge?"

The high-ranking Elders of the Heavenly Sound Court chastised him loudly one after another.

The Heavenly Sound Court is home to warriors who specialize in the Path of Musical Rhythm, with every warrior embodying grace, whether male or female—Even the high-ranking Elders, who are over the age of fifty, still retain their charm.

"Is Hong Su here?"

Lin Bai glanced down at the dozen or so high-ranking Elders beneath him and spoke with a cold voice.

"You think you can see the Chief Disciple of the Heavenly Sound Court just by asking? Have you looked at yourself?" a woman who appeared to be in her thirties said coldly.

Lin Bai looked directly at the woman, his voice frosty, "I only wish to see Hong Su, it would be best if you do not seek trouble."

"Hehe!"

"So it’s the newly risen Five Pinnacle Saint, Lin Bai!"

Just then, a gentle female voice came forth as a middle-aged beautiful woman emerged from amongst the buildings of the Heavenly Sound Court, smiling brightly at Lin Bai.

"Heavenly Music Institute Dean," Lin Bai greeted with a fist and palm salute, "I wonder if Hong Su might be in the Heavenly Sound Court?"

Lin Bai recognized this middle-aged beautiful woman as the very Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court.

Hearing the Dean speak, all the high-ranking Elders of the Heavenly Sound Court were astonished.

"So that’s the Lin Bai who defeated Yejian Jun!"

"The new Five Pinnacle Saint!"

"He looks quite decent."

Many of the high-ranking Elders regarded Lin Bai with a look of curiosity in their eyes.

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court spoke indifferently, "I wonder what matter brings the Saint to visit us in the dead of night, specifically asking to see our Chief Disciple Hong Su?"

Lin Bai replied calmly, "I have something I wish to ask Hong Su, please allow the Dean to send the word."

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court smiled gently, "Since the Saint has requested so, please wait, I’ll inform Hong Su. As for whether she will see you, that is up to her."

"Thank you very much."

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Immediately, the Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court turned and vanished from before Lin Bai.

But the other high-ranking Elders of the Heavenly Sound Court did not leave; instead, they surrounded Lin Bai!

Lin Bai let them encircle him without any reaction.

Lin Bai was there merely to see Hong Su, not to engage in a fight.

To the east of the Heavenly Sound Court, there was an exceptionally elegant courtyard.

At this moment, the Dean had arrived at this place and entered to find Hong Su already waiting for her in the courtyard.

The Dean chuckled, "Disciple, you saw it too, Saint Lin Bai has personally come and asked to see you. Judging by his expression, he seems to be harboring intense killing intent. Did you provoke him in some way?"

Hong Su’s voice was faint as she looked from afar at Lin Bai standing on the Flying Sword, murmured, "His visit is probably not for vengeance, perhaps there’s something else..."

"Master, please tell him that I’m in seclusion and do not wish to see him," Hong Su said quietly.

The Dean replied with a smile, "Alright then, since you do not wish to see him, I shall send him away."

"Thank you, Master," Hong Su said softly, nodding.

Soon after, the Dean left the courtyard where Hong Su was.

"It seems he has already learned about Suxin’s marriage arrangement with Su Cang, otherwise, he wouldn’t come in such roaring fury, arriving in the dead of night..." Hong Su spoke indifferently, with a light sigh.

...

Lin Bai stood on the flying sword, waiting intently.

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court soon returned and spoke with a slight smile, "Saint, I’m terribly sorry, but my disciple began her seclusion last night and is currently unable to meet guests."

"If the Saint truly has urgent matters, I can ask her to leave seclusion early, and after she does, I will send someone to the Five Peaks to inform the Saint, would that be acceptable?"

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court said with a faint smile.

"Seclusion?"

"Hmph, what a coincidence, Dean, that Hong Su wasn’t in seclusion earlier and didn’t do it later, but just when I wanted to see her, she began her seclusion."

"Is she really in seclusion? Or is she avoiding me because she doesn’t want to see me?"

Lin Bai asked coldly upon hearing this.

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court gave a slight smile, "Of course she is truly in seclusion. As the Saint of Five Peaks and the Fourth Supreme Sect Leader of the Miracle Ridge, with such a revered status, if Hong Su were not in seclusion, how could she not meet you?"

A Saint, who was beneath only the Flying Sky Realm, was the strongest Warrior and was also known as the Fourth Supreme Sect Leader!

"Is that so?" Lin Bai asked coldly, "What if I insist on seeing her today?"

——

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, the smile on the Dean’s face gradually faded, a hint of hesitation appeared.

Lin Bai coldly watched the Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court, his eyes icy, seemingly determined not to leave without seeing Hong Su.

"Hmph, even if you are a Saint of the Five Peaks, you should not be so rude! The Nine Courtyards are set by the Miracle Ridge, and by intruding without permission, you have already broken the rules. Our Heavenly Sound Court, out of respect for you being a Saint, has no desire to pursue the matter further. It’s best if you don’t cause a commotion!"

The middle-aged woman who had previously regarded Lin Bai with cold eyes once again spoke sharply.

"What a face to give! Even a Saint dares to barge into the Heavenly Sound Court. Yejian Jun never acted so presumptuously back in his day!"

The woman continued in a cold voice.

"Xiu Jin, Silence!" The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court immediately rebuked upon hearing these words, "Lin Bai comes as a Saint of Five Peaks, his status on par with Sect Leaders and Deans. As a senior Elder, how can you speak to the Saint in such a manner!"

"Apologize to the Saint immediately!"

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court said sternly.

The middle-aged woman Xiu Jin said coldly, "Apologize? Dean? Am I wrong? Even as a Saint, he should not act this way. Breaking into the Heavenly Sound Court is a violation of the Miracle Ridge’s rules, a capital offense!"

"Although our Heavenly Sound Court prefers to avoid conflict among Saints, the Saint came here with killing intent, demanding to see our Chief Disciple. As a Saint, do you think you have the right to act so unreasonably?"

Mid-aged woman Xiu Jin spoke coldly.

"My late-night arrival is indeed presumptuous, but the matter is of great importance to me, Lin Mou. If I have offended the Heavenly Sound Court, I ask for the Dean’s forgiveness."

"But please understand, Dean, that I will not rest easy today if I do not see Hong Su."

Lin Bai gave a formal bow to the Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court, gradually retracting his killing intent as he spoke calmly.

"No need for apologies, Saint. It’s indeed regrettable that we in the Heavenly Sound Court have not been accommodating enough during your visit," the Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court said with a faint smile.

"Dean, I do need to see Hong Su for an important matter, may I..."

Lin Bai asked again, his tone light.

"Hmph! I have said you cannot see her, and you will not, and if you wish to force the issue, even as a revered Saint, the Heavenly Sound Court will not fear you!" Xiu Jin said coldly.

"Besides, the Nine Courtyards are overseen by Sect Leader Zhao Longtu, and if you act recklessly, I’m afraid Sect Leader Zhao Longtu will not let you off easily!"

Xiu Jin sneered, "I suggest you return from whence you came. Don’t waste your time here making a fool of yourself!"

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court remained silent.

"Heh!" Lin Bai shook his head slightly, letting out an involuntary sigh, "I came here intending to have a cordial conversation, just to see Hong Su and ask her a question. If the Heavenly Sound Court truly wishes to make this difficult for me, then do not blame Lin Mou for being discourteous."

Instantly, Lin Bai’s entire body surged with an overwhelming power, as both the Emperor’s Heart Sword and Qingge Sword appeared in his hands, exuding intense Sword Intention.

The Dean of the Heavenly Sound Court’s eyes widened in shock, her body went numb, staring at Lin Bai in horror, as if facing the most formidable enemy of her life.
