The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 125 - 125 125 Zeng Liang

125: Chapter 125: Zeng Liang.

125: Chapter 125: Zeng Liang.

In the reception hall, Bai Zhiyuan and Lin Bai faced off against each other.

“Otherwise, what do you want?” Bai Zhiyuan retorted angrily.

Lin Bai cast an annoyed look at Bai Zhiyuan, Lin Bai had not wanted to provoke any trouble during his journey.

However, Bai Zhiyuan harbored intense animosity towards him, and her words were full of aggressiveness.

“Enough, both of you are noble youths.

It’s not worth arguing over such a trifling matter.

Our main duty is to deal with the troublemaker, Zeng Liang.”

The Lord of White Sheep City hoped to avoid any further disputes between Lin Bai and Bai Zhiyuan, so he intervened.

“That Zeng Liang already a warrior of the second level of Earth Martial Realm, and amongst you two, Bai Zhiyuan is at the first level while young friend Lin Bai is at the ninth level of Xuanwu Realm.

I reckon neither of you could pose a challenge to Zeng Liang in one-on-one combat.”

“How about this, the two of you can join forces.

If you manage to kill Zeng Liang, you can split the reward.

What do you think?”

The Lord of White Sheep City suggested.

“Agreed.” Bai Zhiyuan agreed immediately.

Originally, the mission should have been assigned to warriors from the Spirit Sword Sect and Canghai Yuntai Palace by the Lord of White Sheep City.

It was reasonable that the reward should be given to the warriors who completed the mission.

Bai Zhiyuan’s sudden involvement was indeed unreasonable.

Upon hearing that she could share the reward, Bai Zhiyuan felt somewhat pacified.

“Young friend Lin Bai, what do you think?” The Lord of White Sheep City asked Lin Bai.

“Lord of White Sheep City, if we join forces to kill Zeng Liang, will you give me the mission token?

To be frank, this is my Inner Gate’s promotion task, so I need your mission token to report back.”

Lin Bai inquired curiously.

“Haha, young friend Lin Bai, you don’t have to worry about that.

As long as Zeng Liang dies, I will naturally hand over the mission token.

When the time comes, I hope you can return to the Spirit Sword Sect to clear this mission, so that other warriors from the Spirit Sword Sect won’t have to make a wasted trip to White Sheep City.”

The Lord of White Sheep City said cheerfully.

“As long as I can get the mission token, I have no objections.” Lin Bai nodded in agreement.

Since Lin Bai was already performing this task with no reward expected, and Bai Zhiyuan wanted to prove her capabilities, he decided to leave the task to her.

“You’ve mentioned that you are to complete this task as part of your Inner Gate examination, which means you won’t receive any task rewards.

In that case, even though we shall claim to join forces to kill Zeng Liang, you don’t need to act.

You just need to accompany me.”

“Once Zeng Liang is dead, you’ll get the mission token, and I’ll get the bounty.

How does that sound?”

Bai Zhiyuan suggested at this moment.

“Alright.” Lin Bai nodded.

The Lord of White Sheep City was delighted at the sight of Lin Bai and Bai Zhiyuan shaking hands in agreement, and he broke into a contented smile, “You see, isn’t this better?”

“Since Lin Bai has agreed, Lord of White Sheep City, could you tell us where Zeng Liang is?”

Bai Zhiyuan asked.

Lin Bai also turned to look at the Lord of White Sheep City.

“That’s not a problem, Zeng Liang currently resides in a small town outside White Sheep City called ‘Huangshi Town.’ The largest mansion in town belongs to him.”

“I will have the guards from White Sheep City accompany you, to prevent Zeng Liang from escaping.”

The City Lord made a suggestion.

Lin Bai remained unaffected by this but could see that the City Lord didn’t trust them.

“Alright, then we’ll have to trouble you, Lord of White Sheep City, to lead the way.” Bai Zhiyuan responded.

“If we can eliminate this major trouble in White Sheep City, it will be worth it.”

The Lord of White Sheep City smiled slightly and immediately started organizing the City’s guards.

Half an hour later, over a hundred people headed towards Huangshi Town in a majestic procession.

Arriving in Huangshi Town.

Despite its poor and desolate appearance, the town housed a group of buildings that resembled an imperial palace.

According to the Lord of White Sheep City, this should be Zeng Liang’s dwelling.

“Stay back during the fight so you don’t get in my way.” Bai Zhiyuan ordered Lin Bai harshly when they arrived outside the opulent mansion.

“Sure, it’s time for you to perform, Miss Bai.”

Lin Bai responded with a smile.

As far as Lin Bai was concerned, all he wanted was the mission token.

Who killed Zeng Liang was irrelevant.

“Guards, surround this mansion.

Don’t let a single fly escape.”

The Lord of White Sheep City ordered the mansion to be surrounded.

Despite Bai Zhiyuan’s petite figure, she bravely approached the main gate, kicked it open, and marched in, “Zeng Liang, you rebel!

Come out and meet your fate!”

As Bai Zhiyuan’s shrill cry echoed in the mansion, a shadow of a man appeared swiftly from within the mansion.

“Who’s the idiot that seeks death in the Yama Hall?”

The shadow reached Lin Bai, Bai Zhiyuan, and the Lord of White Sheep City.

Lin Bai recognized when he looked carefully that this man, who appeared to be in his late twenties, had a ferocious look on his face.

“Who are you?” Zeng Liang emerged and glared at Lin Bai and the Lord of White Sheep City as he snapped at them.

“Your killer.” Bai Zhiyuan spoke with a cold sneer.

“Oh?

Young beauty, are you also a warrior from White Sheep City?

Why haven’t I noticed you before?” Seeing Bai Zhiyuan, Zeng Liang immediately started flirting.

Bai Zhiyuan, small in stature, with fair skin and a pink long skirt, looked extraordinarily youthful and beautiful, indeed a rare beauty.

“Zeng Liang, today is your date with death!” The Lord of White Sheep City said coldly.

“Oh, so it’s the Lord of White Sheep City.

With your cultivation level at the eighth level of Xuanwu Realm, do you think you can kill me or have you come to seek your death?” Zeng Liang quickly recognized the golden-robed man standing in front of him as the Lord of White Sheep City.

Immediately, Zeng Liang scoffed.

“I can’t kill you on my own, but with these two experts here, killing you won’t be a problem.”

The Lord of White Sheep City responded coldly.

“Hahaha, a young girl at the first level of Earth Martial Realm and a wimp at the ninth level of Xuanwu Realm want to kill me?

Are you still dreaming?” Zeng Liang dismissed Lin Bai and Bai Zhiyuan arrogantly.

“Debauchee, we will find out if we can kill you after we try!”

“Take this!”

Bai Zhiyuan was the first to charge, a snow-white long sword magically appeared in her hand and she thrust it towards Zeng Liang.

“A fourth-grade spirit weapon!” Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed when he recognized the level of the spirit weapon in Bai Zhiyuan’s hand.
