The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1318 - 1316: Leaving Huanglong City!

Chapter 1318: Chapter 1316: Leaving Huanglong City!

As Han Di said, if not for the help of others, with Lin Bai’s current mastery of the Sword Art, it would be nearly impossible for He Yue to kill or capture Lin Bai in a short period of time!

But Lin Bai also couldn’t possibly kill He Yue! Continuing the fight would be fruitless!

And should Lin Bai see he was outmatched, he had the means to escape!

Therefore, the moment He Yue saw Han Di dead, he immediately turned away and returned to the Imperial Capital, relaying Han Di’s last words to Crown Prince Fei Yun as they were.

"Thinking of leaving?"

Naturally, Lin Bai could not let He Yue just leave like that, and immediately chased after him!

The two, one in front of the other, chased for nearly 10,000 miles!

But He Yue was intent on escaping and didn’t want to entangle with Lin Bai at all; cleverly using the terrain, he easily shook off Lin Bai 10,000 miles away!

"If only the Flying Swords were still with me, He Yue wouldn’t have escaped today."

Lin Bai stood in the forest and looked ahead at the vast earth, no longer seeing any trace of He Yue, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Half a day later, Lin Bai returned to Huanglong City.

The Martial Arts Competition had already concluded, Han Di and Zhao Chou were dead, and the Gu Family quickly suppressed the disturbances within Huanglong City, completely sealing off the news!

Lin Bai returned to the Gu Family.

Gu Qingyun hurriedly came up and asked, "Mr. Dongfang, was He Yue killed?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "A Warrior of the Ninth Level of the Flying Sky Realm, isn’t easy to kill at all. Besides, this person was bent on escaping. After Han Di died, all he thought about was escaping. The speed of the Ninth Level of the Flying Sky Realm is much faster than mine; once we got 10,000 miles away, I was left behind."

Hearing that Lin Bai did not kill He Yue, Gu Qingyun’s face showed a solemn expression and said, "Then Mr. Dongfang, I’m afraid you’ll have to be careful in the future."

"You killed Han Di and He Yue brought this news back to the Imperial Capital. I’m afraid the Crown Prince Fei Yun won’t just let it go."

"Han Di’s cultivation wasn’t high, but he grew up alongside Crown Prince Fei Yun. For Crown Prince Fei Yun, Han Di was like his father, giving him a happy childhood!"

"So, even after Crown Prince Fei Yun later took on the role of Crown Prince, he still hasn’t forgotten this mentor."

Lin Bai said with a light smile, "It doesn’t matter, let them come if they want revenge."

"I’m more worried about the Gu Family’s situation..."

Lin Bai looked at Gu Qingyun and said.

Gu Qingyun replied, "Please rest assured, Mr. Dongfang. Although the Gu Family has fallen, we have nevertheless stood in Huanglong City for a thousand years without falling, and there are also court officials who hold deep personal relations with the Gu Family."

"Moreover, the relationship between the Gu Family and Mr. Dongfang was originally a transaction; it wasn’t very deep!"

"If Crown Prince Fei Yun investigates, I just need to clarify that the relationship between the Gu Family and Mr. Dongfang is merely a cooperative one, and I believe Crown Prince Fei Yun won’t vent his anger on the Gu Family."

Gu Qingyun slowly analyzed the critical relationships involved.

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Since the Head of the Gu Family is so confident, that’s good. I was still worried that this matter would drag the Gu Family down."

Gu Qingyun gave a bitter smile and replied, "Mr. Dongfang, you taught Gujian Yun swordsmanship, and originally my Gu Family should ensure your safety. However, given the current state where the Gu Family can hardly save itself, we are forced to be unable to protect you fully. Please do not blame us."

Lin Bai smiled and nodded, "No worries. I didn’t plan on showing a friendly face to the families and dynasties of Lingnan when I came here. If Crown Prince Fei Yun wants revenge, let him find me. However, if he does come, he better be prepared to meet his end!"

"Now that the affairs of Huanglong City have concluded, with my current status, I’m afraid it’s no longer suitable for me to stay in the Gu Family."

"I’ll take my leave."

Lin Bai bowed with clasped hands toward Gu Qingyun.

Now, Gujian Yun’s Sword Art had set foot on the right path, and he had grasped the Aurora Realm, Lin Bai had taught all he could.

And Lin Bai had obtained the Purple Gold City Token.

There was indeed no reason for Lin Bai to stay in Huanglong City.

"Where are you going?" Gujian Yun asked meekly at this time.

Lin Bai looked at Gujian Yun, smiled, and said, "It doesn’t matter where I go, but I can no longer stay in Huanglong City. Otherwise, the Gu Family might face a disastrous calamity because of me!"

Gujian Yun, hearing the conversation between Gu Qingyun and Lin Bai, also understood the implications.

"Then, will you go to Purple Gold City?" Gujian Yun asked.

"Of course, I will. Otherwise, what use would the Purple Gold City Token be?" Lin Bai laughed, "Dunce, you must train hard. Otherwise, in the Forbidden City, if your opponent is me, I won’t show any mercy."

Gujian Yun stubbornly said, "Die, Dongfang Bai, rest assured that if Auntie meets you in Purple Gold City, Auntie will definitely beat you until your teeth scatter!"

Gu Qingyun said, "Mr. Dongfang is leaving, and our Gu Family doesn’t have a noteworthy gift to offer. Here are some Elixir Pills and a map of the Territory of all nations, along with the power distribution within each dynasty, and the rules of the All Nations Disciple Recruitment Conference over the years. Take them, have a good look; they might be useful!"

Lin Bai chuckled, "Thank you, Head of the Gu Family."

"I’m leaving."

"Head of the Gu Family, dunce, as the green hills last and the rivers flow, if fate allows, we will meet again."

After Lin Bai had packed everything Gu Qingyun handed him, he turned and left the Gu Family and Huanglong City stylishly!

At the entrance of the Gu Family.

Gu Qingyun, Gu Hai, and Gujian Yun watched Lin Bai walk away.

His departing figure was still unrestrained and indifferent.

Gu Qingyun, watching Lin Bai’s figure, sighed softly with deep eyes, "This man is no ordinary being, in this year’s Forbidden City, he is bound to have a position!"

Gu Hai exclaimed, "Indeed, possessing a Heaven-reaching Sword Skill and wielding a Demonic Sword, he might just become one of the top young figures in Purple Gold City this year!"

"Young titan..." Gu Qingyun heard this title, his eyes involuntarily narrowed, and he turned to glance at Gujian Yun, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Purple Gold City was essentially a City of Monsters.

Every five years, the Disciple Recruitment Conference would attract thousands of monsters, some of whom weren’t there to join the Peerless Sect, but to spar with fellow warriors.

Thus, every Disciple Recruitment Conference was a gathering of monsters!

And although Gujian Yun was now called the foremost talent of Huanglong City, in Purple Gold City, that City of Monsters, Gujian Yun’s aptitude still seemed somewhat lacking!

"Gu Hai, tomorrow should be the day Purple Gold City opens, right?" Gu Qingyun asked.

Gu Hai nodded and responded, "Head of the Gu Family, calculating the time, tomorrow should indeed be the day the city opens."

Gu Qingyun said, "After the opening of Purple Gold City, all the talents from the Territory of all nations will start heading to Purple Gold City. Gu Hai, get ready. We’re also preparing to set out."

"But there’s no rush, let’s travel leisurely."

"After all, every time Purple Gold City opens, the first to settle are those women of the night, Tianbao Tower, and other dynastic powers!"

"Let’s take our time getting there, and along the way, it would be best if Jian Yun could enhance his cultivation a bit more. As long as we arrive at Purple Gold City by the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, we’ll be fine!"

"Yes, Head of the Gu Family," Gu Hai responded.
