The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1208 - 1206: Minister Lin Bai... Greeting Emperor Xiao!

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1206: Minister Lin Bai... Greeting Emperor Xiao!

The thought of becoming an empress had long existed in Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart.

Back when they were in the Dayue Kingdom, Lin Bai had already seen the desire for emperorship in Bai Xiaoxiao!

But in the end, Lin Bai expressed his true feelings, Lin Bai did not like the slaughter and deceit of the Martial World, and wanted to retire to Jianghu to live a life of leisure after finding his parents.

At that time, Bai Xiaoxiao also understood Lin Bai’s feelings, and for Lin Bai, she secretly killed the seed of the desire for emperorship in her heart.

She followed Lin Bai to the Miracle Ridge to help him look for his parents.

Waiting for Lin Bai to find his parents, and then to take her with him to roam the world!

But today, she returned to the Shenwu Kingdom and saw her brothers and kinsmen lying in pools of blood, yet she was powerless to do anything!

The thought of becoming an empress wildly grew in her heart!

It could no longer be restrained!

As she said herself, she wanted to be the Emperor, she wanted to unite everything under Heaven, she wanted to be the Empress of Under Heaven!

The path she wanted to take was one of fierce warfare across the world!

This path might be even harder than the one taken by Lin Bai!

"Princess Chang, the Chu Family’s Army is already assembled outside the city, and the Imperial Guard fully mobilized, please issue an order..." Chu Jiangliu came running in from outside the hall at this moment.

He happened to see Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao embracing each other and was immediately embarrassed!

"Did I come at a bad time?"

Chu Jiangliu quickly turned his head away.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao came out from Lin Bai’s embrace and looked earnestly at Lin Bai.

Then, her gaze shifted to behind Lin Bai, toward the Dragon Throne of the Shenwu Kingdom...

She walked up step by step.

Chu Jiangliu widened his eyes, watching Bai Xiaoxiao’s movements.

Bai Xiaoxiao approached the Dragon Throne, turned around, sat down, and a natural imperial majesty immediately filled the Great Hall!

Within this imperial aura, the Divine Dragon statues inside the Golden Hall seemed as though they had come to life, worshipping Bai Xiaoxiao!

"Summon the commander of the Imperial Guard and all the generals that are guarding outside the city to see me!"

"Chu Jiangliu, tell them, starting now, I, Bai Xiaoxiao, am the Emperor of the Shenwu Kingdom!"

"I am... Emperor Xiao!"

Bai Xiaoxiao said resolutely.

Hearing these words, Chu Jiangliu, looking at Bai Xiaoxiao, excitedly knelt on the ground, exclaiming, "Your servant, Duke Chu Jiangliu, greets Emperor Xiao, may my lord, Emperor Xiao, reign for thousands of generations, uniting everything under Heaven!"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.

Lin Bai turned around, saw Bai Xiaoxiao sitting on the throne in the Golden Hall, smiled faintly, and bowed with clasped hands: "Your servant, Duke Lin Bai, greets Emperor Xiao, may my lord, Emperor Xiao, reign for thousands of generations, uniting everything Under Heaven!"

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Bai, her eyes shedding a tear of guilt.

Lin Bai lifted his head and showed Bai Xiaoxiao a sincere and brilliant smile.

Shortly after, Chu Jiangliu returned to the Golden Hall with more than a hundred generals to face Bai Xiaoxiao.

Among them, a few were not convinced by Bai Xiaoxiao’s proclamation as the emperor.

Bai Xiaoxiao immediately became furious and ordered them to be executed!

And Lin Bai, standing in the Golden Hall, upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s order, personally acted and killed all those opposing generals!

With Lin Bai’s thunderous methods, no one in the entire Golden Hall dared to dissent!

Bai Xiaoxiao completely controlled all the military forces around the Imperial City of the Shenwu Kingdom.

Following that, Bai Xiaoxiao started to rearrange and fortify the Imperial City, declaring martial law throughout!

With Bai Xiaoxiao stationed there, rebuilding the defenses of the Imperial City, Lin Bai believed that even if Miao Shang and Prime Minister Xu returned to power, they would probably find it difficult to succeed.

Moreover, given Bai Xiaoxiao’s strength, being at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm and possessing a Transcendent Martial Spirit, even if beings of the Flying Sky Realm came, Bai Xiaoxiao could still fight them!

...

Lin Bai stepped onto his Flying Sword and left the Imperial Palace.

Bai Xiaoxiao was in the midst of reinforcing the defensive lines of the Imperial City of the Shenwu Kingdom, making it impossible for her to leave the city for a short while.

The situation in Lingdong was so severe that Lin Bai could no longer stay there.

After leaving the Imperial City,

Lin Bai stepped onto a flying sword and rushed directly to the Spirit Sword Sect.

When the Imperial Clan of the Shenwu Kingdom was attacked, the Spirit Sword Sect had dispatched experts to assist, and Lin Bai needed to check on the condition of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Arriving high above the Spirit Sword Sect, Lin Bai looked down and saw that all the warriors of the Spirit Sword Sect had solemn expressions, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Who dares to intrude into the Spirit Sword Sect? Seeking death?"

Lin Bai, riding on the flying sword, descended and was spotted by a disciple guarding the sect, who scolded loudly.

"Is Sect Leader Ji Bei around?"

Lin Bai asked softly.

"Who are you? Our Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect isn’t someone you can meet just because you say so. Haven’t you checked? The Spirit Sword Sect is the number one sect in the Shenwu Kingdom, and our Sect Leader holds a prestigious position, not just anyone can meet him!"

The disciple said sternly.

Lin Bai looked at the warrior and a cold smile appeared on his face.

Just then, another disciple beside the warrior, after staring at Lin Bai for a long time, exclaimed in surprise, "Are you... Are you Senior Brother Lin Bai?"

"Yes." Lin Bai nodded lightly.

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, you’re back!"

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, please come in, I’ll go inform the Sect Leader!"

The warrior shouted excitedly.

The warrior who had spoken rudely to Lin Bai earlier, upon hearing the name Lin Bai, was immediately stunned and said with a cold sweat, "Senior Brother Lin Bai, please forgive me, I was disrespectful!"

"I don’t have time to bicker with you, take me to see Sect Leader Ji Bei," Lin Bai said indifferently.

"Yes, yes, the Sect Leader and the other Elders are discussing affairs in the Elder Pavilion. Please follow me, Senior Brother Lin Bai."

The two led Lin Bai straight to the Elder Pavilion.

Spirit Sword Sect, Elder Pavilion!

Over a hundred Elders of the Spirit Sword Sect were sitting together, their faces continually gloomy!

At that moment, a warrior rushed in!

"Who is this disciple, so lacking in manners? Don’t you know the Elders in the Elder Pavilion are discussing important matters?"

An Elder scolded loudly.

The warrior quickly said, "Please forgive me, Elders. Sect Leader Supreme, Senior Brother Lin Bai has returned!"

Sitting in a high seat, Ji Bei, troubled by the current situation in the Shenwu Kingdom, looked distressed, but upon hearing that Lin Bai had returned, he immediately brightened up and said, "Lin Bai? He’s back? Call him in quickly!"

"Yes."

The warrior exited!

Afterward, Lin Bai entered the Elder Pavilion.

As Lin Bai walked in, he looked around and noticed that he didn’t recognize almost half of the Elders of the Spirit Sword Sect, but their cultivation levels were quite impressive.

"Is that Lin Bai?"

"More than a year ago, the Lin Bai who stirred up a storm within the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"The Lin Bai from the Divine Alliance?"

"Didn’t he go to the Miracle Ridge to cultivate?"

Many Elders who did not recognize Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise.

Their eyes held curiosity, wariness, delight, and even a hint of fear!

"Lin Bai, you’ve really come back." Ji Bei and Ji Bai both shouted happily.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Disciple Lin Bai, greets Sect Leader Ji Bei, Elder Ji Bai."

Ji Bei said joyfully, "No need for formalities, come, sit by my side!"
