The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1279 - 1277: Six Freaks of Lingnan!

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1277: Six Freaks of Lingnan!

Lin Bai stepped out of the Tomb Mansion, lifted his head, and once again gazed at the sun!

After two years, Lin Bai was once again standing beneath the sunlight!

Lin Bai glanced back at the Tomb Mansion, his expression darkening slightly. He executed his movement technique and vanished from the spot, leaving the Tomb Mansion silently and without a trace!

For the past two years, Lin Bai had been closely monitoring the movements of Ye Suxin, refraining from cultivation. Therefore, Lin Bai’s cultivation level had remained at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm.

However, the progress of the Ancient Divine Scripture over these two years was exceptionally rapid!

The sedimentation of the Ancient Divine Scripture over the two years endowed Lin Bai with a body capable of contending with the third level of the Flying Sky Realm. Even now, without invoking the Power of the Giant God, Lin Bai could easily slay a warrior of the third level of the Flying Sky Realm.

That was why just now, Su Tianlong had died so easily at Lin Bai’s hands!

Lin Bai set off towards the Miracle Ridge, pondering along the way.

"Two years have passed, and Ye Suxin still has not awoken!"

"I wonder if it’s because there’s a flaw in this Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation. I’ve pondered over it for two years without being able to fully understand the mysteries of the formation!"

"Now, I just need to go to Lingnan to see if I can find the origin of this Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation."

Two years had passed, and Ye Suxin had not been revived!

Yet Lin Bai had seen Ye Suxin’s soul fly back into his body; why he had not awoken, Lin Bai did not know.

Over these two years, Lin Bai had examined the mysteries of the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation day and night, yet he knew nothing.

Feeling his own limitations, Lin Bai decided to leave first, to find more information about the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation, to help Ye Suxin awaken sooner!

"My cultivation has made no progress in two years, still at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, but the Ancient Divine Scripture has granted me a surprise."

"The two years of silence are not without gains; there are indeed many benefits!"

"Over these two years, my understanding of the Sword Art has become more refined!"

"And the sedimentation of the Ancient Divine Scripture has also given my body the strength to contend with the third level of the Flying Sky Realm!"

Lin Bai said with a light smile.

"It’s just a pity that back then, Senior Qinghe sent me away."

"Besides the Emperor’s Heart Sword and the Green Song Sword, the Demon Sword and the Flying Swords are nowhere to be found!"

"I wonder if the Demon Sword and the Flying Swords were taken away by one of those Six Freaks of Lingnan?"

Lin Bai carefully recalled the events.

When Qinghe sent Lin Bai away from the Miracle Ridge, the Demon Sword and the Flying Swords were left behind as Lin Bai had no time to retrieve them. They remained on the Miracle Ridge.

Such treasures, the Six Freaks of Lingnan, naturally wouldn’t ignore.

Lin Bai surmised that the Flying Swords and the Demon Sword had likely been taken by one of those six people.

After careful thought, Lin Bai felt that the most likely people to have taken the Flying Swords and the Demon Sword were Ye Fenghuo and Yejian Jun, as both of them were masters of the Sword Art and placed great importance on sword-like weapons!

Among the Six Freaks of Lingnan, the two who valued the Flying Swords and the Demon Sword the most would be Ye Fenghuo and Yejian Jun.

The Six Freaks of Lingnan was a name Lin Bai had given to the six people who had joined forces to besiege him on the Miracle Ridge.

The Six Freaks of Lingnan were: Ninth Prince Long Batian of the Azure Dragon Empire, Sect Leader Supreme Dong Qian of the Saint Seal Sect, Old Prime Minister Zhao Hansheng of the Zhao Royal Dynasty, Prince Su Lihai of the Su Dynasty, Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elder Ye Fenghuo, and Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Venerate Yejian Jun!

Each of these six individuals came from renowned and powerful families, their strength known to pierce the heavens and shake the earth, and even within Lingnan, they were considered top-notch experts!

They belonged to the category of experts who stood at the pinnacle of Lingnan’s power pyramid!

Of course, among them, Yejian Jun’s cultivation was slightly weaker!

As for Su Cang and Su Zhan, Lin Bai did not count them among this group.

Compared to dealing with Su Cang and Su Zhan, Lin Bai found it easier, but to kill these six, Lin Bai would need to exhaust a great deal of mental energy and possess mighty strength!

Lin Bai traveled swiftly, restoring his cultivation to its peak state.

Two months later.

Lin Bai returned to the Miracle Ridge from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!

Two years ago, after one battle, the Su Dynasty had completely taken over control of the Miracle Ridge!

As for Gu Yueqing, Kang Xiao, Wenyue, and others, they had no choice but to submit under tyranny.

Gu Yueqing, upon witnessing Lin Bai’s defeat, departed from the Miracle Ridge the very next day.

Lin Bai returned to the Miracle Ridge without causing too much of a stir, quietly making his way through the Nine Courtyards, and headed straight to the Sect Leader’s Hall within the Five Peaks.

"Since Bai Xiaoxiao painstakingly planned a ruse of my death, it’s best not to reveal myself too easily," Lin Bai estimated in his heart.

"After all, if they knew I was not dead, the Six Freaks of Lingnan might come back for round two."

"It’s also good, this feigned death can buy me a lot of time!"

Lin Bai did not alert anyone and arrived at the First Peak.

With Lin Bai’s current cultivation level, sneaking into the First Peak without a sound was all too simple!

...

In the Sect Leader’s Hall on the First Peak,

Su Zhan, with a smiling face, said to the dozen or so warriors in the hall, "I, Su Zhan, welcome the outstanding disciples from the dynasty to train in the Miracle Ridge, hahaha."

Inside the Sect Leader’s Hall, these teenage boys and girls were princes and princesses of the Su Dynasty, but their status was similar to that of Su Zhan and Su Cang; they did not hold much importance within the Su Dynasty.

Nevertheless, as the warriors from Lingnan, they still carried their pride.

"This is the Miracle Ridge, indeed a place where not even birds bother to relieve themselves—had it not been for the Red Immortal Sect standing here, this prince would never have set foot in this place," a young man remarked disdainfully after scanning his surroundings.

"Exactly, even the air here reeks," added another beautiful young woman with a look of disgust.

Su Zhan, standing beside them, felt somewhat embarrassed.

An old man walked out from the group of youngsters with a chuckle and said, "Brother Su Zhan, don’t mind them; most of them are leaving the Su Dynasty for the first time!"

"Come now, Brother Su Zhan, let me introduce you; this is Suling Feng, a distinguished disciple among the young generation in our Su Dynasty. At just eighteen, he already possesses the strength of the Third Level of the Flying Sky Realm!"

"And this young lady is Suling Yun, also a stand-out among her peers, with the strength of the Third Level of the Flying Sky Realm!"

The old man said with a smile.

The name "Ling"—Su Zhan’s expression turned serious upon hearing that both of their names contained the word "Ling": "So they are of the imperial bloodline, please forgive my disrespect."

Only the direct descendants of the imperial family in the Su Dynasty were qualified to have names included in the family registry!

Among the young generation of the Su Dynasty, it was the "Ling" generation.

People like Su Zhan and Su Cang were merely collateral descendants of the Su Clan and had no right to names containing ’Ling’.

"Prince Suling Feng, Princess Suling Yun, Brother Su Kang, please, come inside. I have already prepared a banquet to welcome you," Su Zhan immediately said with a chuckle.

The old man speaking was named Su Kang, like Su Zhan, a collateral descendant of the Su Dynasty!

Suling Feng and Suling Yun glanced disdainfully at Su Zhan and walked in with a spoiled air.

"Cough, cough!"

Just then, a light coughing sound came from outside the Sect Leader’s Hall.

Suling Feng’s displeasure was immediate, "Su Zhan, what is this about? Today, as we visit, are you telling me there are some filthy people from the Miracle Ridge lingering outside the Sect Leader’s Hall?"

"Within a thousand meters of them, this prince can’t even take a bite of food, not just because of the food, but even the air is tainted!"

Suling Feng said with a chill in his tone.

Su Zhan quickly apologized, "Prince Suling Feng, please be appeased; I’ll go check immediately."

"Who’s out there? Have I not said that today I’m entertaining distinguished guests, and no warrior is allowed on the First Peak?"

Su Zhan shouted toward the outside of the Sect Leader’s Hall.

"Cough, cough!" At this moment, the light coughing grew closer, gradually approaching the Sect Leader’s Hall, and the person lightly laughed, "It seems it has been a long while since I breathed fresh air, even my breathing has become unaccustomed."

"Hehe."

"Sect Leader Su Zhan, I heard you were hosting a banquet today. I, unworthy as I am, have come to request one thing from Sect Leader Su Zhan, to hold my wine."

From afar, before Su Zhan could clearly see the face of the person, he asked coldly, "What do you want?"

"Your head."

The response floated back, light and nonchalant.
