Chapter 1203: Chapter 1201: Eight Strikes of the Heavenly Bell! Lingdong in Great Disorder!

Lin Bai’s trip to the Creation Divine Palace this time had been very fruitful.

First, he had obtained the Creation Divine Palace. Now that it was in his hands, Lin Bai was not in a hurry to utilize its resources.

Second was the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Platform. Once his clone was condensed, Lin Bai could practice the "Ancient Divine Scripture" and the Sword Art separately, which would definitely make him much stronger.

Third was the Sword Array Tower, an unrivaled Dharma Method for the practice of the Flying Sword Skill. The power of the sword array had left Lin Bai immensely shocked.

Fourth was the Thatched House Storm Painting, a cultivation method of a rare Realm of Comprehension, which Lin Bai particularly liked.

But to cultivate these resources, Lin Bai still needed time.

Now, Lin Bai left the Creation Divine Palace.

Jian Ruohan and Bai Xiaoxiao were anxiously waiting below the Creation Divine Palace.

Lin Bai emerged from the Creation Divine Palace and slowly descended onto the battlefield of the Red Immortal Sect. Looking up, he saw the Creation Divine Palace floating above the sky vanish once again into the void as if it had never appeared in this world!

Upon landing, Lin Bai found the place already deserted, with only Bai Xiaoxiao and Jian Ruohan waiting for him.

Lin Bai asked, "Ruohan, Xiaoxiao, what happened? Why is there no one here?"

Jian Ruohan replied, "Lin Bai, don’t ask just yet. Yesterday, the Heavenly Bell on the Miracle Ridge was rung, calling all the training warriors back to the Miracle Ridge!"

"The Heavenly Bell? How many times?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately asked.

The Heavenly Bell was a treasure used on the Miracle Ridge to summon disciples and also an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact.

All warriors were aware of the Heavenly Bell upon joining the Miracle Ridge.

The number of times the bell rang indicated the seriousness of the situation.

Jian Ruohan said, "Eight times!"

Lin Bai thought carefully, and his eyes immediately narrowed: "Eight tolls of the Heavenly Bell, Lingdong is in great chaos!"

"Let’s go, back to the Miracle Ridge!"

Lin Bai immediately led Bai Xiaoxiao and Jian Ruohan, the three of them stepping onto flying swords and speeding toward the Miracle Ridge.

The Heavenly Bell had rung eight times, and Lin Bai remembered, those eight bell tolls represented a crisis in Lingdong!

If the Heavenly Bell rang nine times, it signified the impending doom of the Miracle Ridge!

Thus, eight tolls of the Heavenly Bell was an extremely dangerous signal!

Therefore, Lin Bai hurried back to the Miracle Ridge without stopping!

The Five Peaks!

Just as Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan, and Bai Xiaoxiao returned, they saw numerous warriors swiftly moving on the Five Peaks.

Vessels known as Spirit Boats soared into the sky from the Five Peaks!

Seeing this scene, Lin Bai coolly said, "With so many warriors moving together, with so many Spirit Boats taking off at once, it seems a major incident has indeed occurred in Lingdong."

Lin Bai exclaimed.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face was somewhat somber and worried.

As the First Princess of Shenwu Kingdom, Bai Xiaoxiao naturally cared deeply about Shenwu Kingdom.

Now that Lingdong was in great chaos, it was uncertain how Shenwu Kingdom was faring.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t worry," Lin Bai gently patted Bai Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and said calmly.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded her head.

Just then, Kang Yiyang came running, his head covered in sweat.

"Oh, Brother Lin, why are you still here? The three Sect Leader Supremes are asking for you at the First Peak for an important discussion. Hurry along."

"Miss Jian Ruohan and Miss Bai Xiaoxiao are also here, so come along too."

Kang Yiyang hastily said.

Seeing Kang Yiyang’s anxious expression, Lin Bai exclaimed, "What exactly happened? Brother Kang, I just returned and heard that the Heavenly Bell rang eight times. That’s the bell toll signifying great chaos in Lingdong."

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Kang Yiyang casually replied, "Brother Lin... Lingdong is already devastated. I don’t know the specifics; I only heard a bit from my father. But if you want to know more, you best hurry to the First Peak."

"The three Sect Leader Supremes are waiting for you."

Kang Yiyang eagerly said.

"Alright."

The four of them immediately sped towards the First Peak.

Upon reaching a palace within the First Peak.

After Lin Bai entered, he saw that the palace was already filled with dense crowds of people.

Lin Bai looked up and saw the three Sect Leader Supremes, Dugu Yun, Zhao Longtu, and Ye Wuhuan, sitting in the high seats.

Beneath them were the Five Peaks Peak Masters of the Miracle Ridge, including Kang Xiao and Wenyue, among five others.

Then there were the deans of the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge!

Also, around the edges of the great hall, there were nearly five thousand high-ranking Elders seated densely, among whom Lin Bai saw Pei Ji, Lin Baoyu, Xue Qing, and others.

After Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan, and Bai Xiaoxiao entered and saw such a grand assembly, they immediately felt that the matter was not so simple.

Jian Ruohan said softly, "Three Sect Leader Supremes! Five Peak Masters, nine deans, nearly five thousand high-ranking Elders, all gathered here... it seems this is no small matter."

The faces of Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao were solemn.

When Ye Wuhuan saw Lin Bai, he immediately said, "Saint, come sit."

Lin Bai nodded and walked over.

Beside the three Sect Leaders, a fourth chair was placed—this was Lin Bai’s seat.

The Saint’s status on the Miracle Ridge was only second to the three Sect Leader Supremes, but he was able to sit on an equal footing with them.

"Master Ye Wuhuan, what exactly happened? Why did the Heavenly Bell ring eight times?" Lin Bai asked curiously, looking at Ye Wuhuan.

Ye Wuhuan’s face was grim.

The high-ranking Elders in the hall were also silent-faced.

Lin Bai felt the atmosphere was very oppressive.

At that moment, Dugu Yun said, "Saint, the Heavenly Bell rang eight times; Lingdong is in chaos!"

Lin Bai said, "Sect Leader Dugu Yun, I naturally know what the eight rings of the Heavenly Bell imply, but why would Lingdong..."

Dugu Yun shook his head helplessly.

Ye Wuhuan said flatly, "Since the Saint has just arrived, let me briefly introduce the cause of this matter."

"Three days ago, we received distress signals from several large dynasties in Lingdong, claiming they were attacked by an unknown force."

"At that time, I dispatched experts to leave the Miracle Ridge to see what was happening!"

"But before the warriors of the Miracle Ridge could leave, we received numerous distress signals again!"

"This time, the distress signals were broader in scope, covering almost the entire Lingdong Dynasty!" Ye Wuhuan said flatly.

Lin Bai looked at Ye Wuhuan.

Ye Wuhuan continued, "Originally, the Miracle Ridge had inserted forces among all the dynasties in Lingdong to safeguard their safety, but unfortunately, with such chaos in Lingdong this time, we received no news at all!"

"Just yesterday afternoon, a warrior of the Miracle Ridge risked his life to send back a message!"

"This message contained only a short sentence: ’The Five Poison Sect is back, they aim to destroy all the dynasties in Lingdong, Lingdong in chaos, please rescue quickly!’"

Ye Wuhuan paused after saying this.

Upon hearing the name Five Poison Sect, the faces of the nearly five thousand high-ranking Elders present turned grim continuously!

Ye Wuhuan said, "After receiving the message, I immediately sent word back to the Holy Night Dynasty to command an investigation, and the final result... nearly all the Imperial Clans of the dynasties in Lingdong had been slaughtered to near extinction!"

Hiss—

Lin Bai inhaled sharply.

"What about the Shenwu Kingdom?" Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask at this moment.

Lin Bai turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao, whose face was pale and filled with solemnity and worry, her eyes bloodshot and teary as she stared at Ye Wuhuan!

If the Five Poison Sect had destroyed all the dynasties in Lingdong, then wasn’t the Shenwu Kingdom...

Ye Wuhuan remained silent.

At this point, Wenyue said, "Xiaoxiao, the Shenwu Kingdom is not one of the major dynasties in Lingdong; it’s likely not the primary choice of the Five Poison Sect, perhaps the Shenwu Kingdom has not suffered the calamity..."

Lin Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, seeing her pale face and worry, feeling an unwillingness in his heart.

Lin Bai said, "Now that the Five Poison Sect has resurfaced, may I ask what Master Ye Wuhuan and the other two Sect Leaders are planning to do?"
