Chapter 1320 - 1318: Holder of the Demonic Sword! Dongfang Bai! (8th Release)

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1318: Holder of the Demonic Sword! Dongfang Bai! (8th Release)

The news of the Demonic Sword’s emergence swept through the Feiyun Dynasty like a storm, and the name "Dongfang Bai" had nearly become the focus of the dynasty in these past few days.

Feiyun Dynasty, Sword Mark City, the city of the dynasty’s foremost sword cultivation!

Inside the city lord’s great hall in Sword Mark City, a middle-aged man currently seated in a high position glared with bulging eyes downward and said in a cold voice, "Yan Sen, Lu Heng, you have some nerve. You actually didn’t report the news of the Demonic Sword to me and chose to keep it from me, going by yourselves to search for it?"

The two people below were none other than Yan Sen and Lu Heng, who had returned to Sword Mark City!

And this middle-aged man seated on the high seat was none other than Hu Chong, the City Lord of Sword Mark City, and the father of Hu Hu!

Upon hearing the outburst from the City Lord of Sword Mark City, Yan Sen and Lu Heng were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

Lu Heng hurriedly said, "Reporting to the City Lord, it’s not that we didn’t want to report. It’s because Third Young Master Hu Hu forbade us to do so!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Chong’s face showed a look of forbearance. "Hu Hu, ah! Alas, he was just too oppressed by his elder brother and second sister and was too eager to prove himself!"

"If he had told me about the Demonic Sword, I still would have credited him with a huge merit!"

"Now that he went to find it on his own, not only did he lose his life, but the Demonic Sword was also not retrieved!"

Hu Chong’s eyes bulged with anger, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "The Demonic Sword, was it snatched away by Dongfang Bai?"

"Where is Dongfang Bai now?"

Hu Chong inquired.

Yan Sen and Lu Heng replied one after another, "City Lord, we have already found out that Dongfang Bai originally had dealings with the Ancient Clan. He taught Gujian Yun sword skills, and thanks to his help, Gujian Yun won the first place in the martial arts competition in Huanglong City and handed over the Purple Gold City Token to Dongfang Bai!"

"Dongfang Bai, having obtained the Purple Gold City Token, boarded a guest ship, crossed the Hanlong River, and entered the Yuntian Dynasty!"

Hu Chong was shocked and exclaimed, "He has already reached the Yuntian Dynasty?"

Yan Sen reported back, "Yes, City Lord. This Dongfang Bai has an extremely high talent for sword art. At that time, the Demonic Sword flew to him of its own accord, and he accepted the Demonic Sword, becoming its new master."

Hu Chong said coldly, "What use is there being extremely talented in sword art? Snatch back the Demonic Sword; Sword Mark City has a hundred ways to force the Demonic Sword to recognize its master!"

Lu Heng said, "City Lord, but with our strength, I’m afraid it will be difficult to snatch the Demonic Sword back from Dongfang Bai!"

Hu Chong coldly said, "Of course, I wouldn’t just send the two of you. Call for Second Grandpa Hu!"

"Second Grandpa Hu!"

Upon hearing this name, both Yan Sen and Lu Heng trembled, turning pale!

Second Grandpa Hu was the Vice City Lord of Sword Mark City, the brother of Hu Chong!

What frightened Yan Sen and Lu Heng was not Second Grandpa Hu’s identity but his cultivation.

Second Grandpa Hu was a master of the Yin Saint Realm!

"Additionally, have Hu Long prepare to go to Purple Gold City. Once Second Grandpa Hu kills Dongfang Bai and retrieves the Demonic Sword, I will have Second Grandpa Hu send it immediately to Purple Gold City," Hu Chong said indifferently.

Yan Sen and Lu Heng acknowledged and left the Great Hall to find Second Grandpa Hu.

As the two of them left, outside the City Lord’s Great Hall of Sword Mark City, a particularly seductive woman, upon hearing about the "Demonic Sword," showed an overjoyed expression and licked her lips excitedly, "Dongfang Bai... Demonic Sword..." ...

Simultaneously, He Yue returned to the Imperial Capital of the Feiyun Dynasty and briefly informed the Crown Prince about Han Di’s affairs.

"Understood!"

In the darkened hall, a man’s icy voice came through.

He Yue knelt down below, his face looking ugly. "I deserve to die!"

From the darkness, the icy voice came, "Since you know you deserve to die, what are you still doing alive?"

Upon hearing this, He Yue’s eyes twitched violently, and he promptly said, "Yes, I understand!"

After saying that, He Yue pulled out a sharp sword from his storage bag and slashed it across his own throat.

"Get out, don’t dirty my place," the man’s ice-cold voice continued.

He Yue bowed toward the darkness and left the hall.

Just after leaving the hall, He Yue did not hesitate and directly used the sharp sword in his hand to cut his throat, blood gushing out as he collapsed on the ground, no longer breathing!

He Yue had forced his own suicide before the Crown Prince’s hall. Inside the hall, the man in the darkness was silent for a long while before shouting, "Wu Chun."

Shh—

The moment the man’s icy voice fell, a shadow of a person appeared in the hall, bowing, "Your orders, Your Highness."

The man coldly said, "Master Han Di died, and I cannot let his death be in vain. Take a hundred Death Warriors to find Dongfang Bai, I want to see him alive, or his corpse if dead!"

"Furthermore," he instructed, "bring back the Demonic Sword."

"After you kill Dongfang Bai or capture him, come find me in Purple Gold City."

The man was laying out his plans.

The shadow of a person nodded, "Rest assured, Crown Prince."

After that, Wu Chun left the Crown Prince’s palace.

Then, the Crown Prince who had been sitting in meditation in the darkness finally revealed half of his face.

On the half of his face that was now visible, there was a deep sadness, and a tear could not help but fall from the corner of his eye, "Teacher, in my youth, you were like a kind father to me, guiding me on the path of Martial Arts and the road to become the Crown Prince!"

"When I came of age, you spared no effort, travelling through countless countries to find objects of cultivation for me!"

"And now, when your disciple is about to Wending for Purple Gold City, when countless warriors will fall to my sword, and I will enjoy the height of glory, you are no longer here..."

"Teacher... don’t walk too quickly on the Netherworld Path. I will soon have Dongfang Bai join you down there!"

The Crown Prince of Feiyun Dynasty said with particular sorrow.

Half a day later, the Crown Prince left the Feiyun Dynasty, heading towards Purple Gold City with the protection of the Feiyun Army!

...

Half a month later, in the Yuntian Dynasty, the ferry crossing at Chaoyang City!

At the bustling ferry crossing of Chaoyang City, a guest ship laden with corpses slowly emerged from the thick fog on the river in the distance.

At this moment, all the warriors at the crossing, overcome with panic, stared at the ship as if they’d seen a ghost!

The guest ship slowly docked, and a white-robed man with a wine jug in hand stepped off, pulling a warrior along. The man’s face bore an innocently radiant smile as he asked, "Excuse me, brother, is this Chaoyang City?"

The warrior was completely petrified by the sight of the ship filled with corpses, and upon hearing the white-robed man’s question, he said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, Senior, please don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"

The white-robed man, with a wry smile, said, "Don’t be afraid, why would I kill you? I’m just asking a few questions, then I’ll be on my way!"

The frightened warrior said, "Please ask, Senior, your Junior will answer everything he knows!"

The white-robed man smiled and said, "I’ve heard from people on the ship that there will be an auction in the Yuntian Dynasty’s Chaoyang City soon, and that they’ll be auctioning Yangshen Great Perfection Level Demon Blood, is that correct?"

"From people on the ship..." the warrior said in a low voice, "Senior, are there any living people on your ship? Or is it ghosts that told you this?"

The white-robed man replied with a bitter smile, "They told me before they died, of course."

"I am asking you a question," he said, maintaining his smile.

The terrified warrior said, "Yes, Senior, you are correct, this is Chaoyang City, and the auction is three days from now. It is organized by the Shi Clan, one of the Three Great Families of Chaoyang City!"

"The Demonic Beast Blood of the Yangshen Great Perfection is the Shi Clan’s treasure. It’s said to be going up for auction, instantly attracting a multitude of warriors. So, Senior, if you wish to participate in the auction, you should prepare some more Spiritual Stones."

The warrior said rapidly.

"Alright, thank you, brother," the white-robed man chuckled, stepping past the warrior whose liver was nearly ruptured from fright, and walked into Chaoyang City!

After the white-robed man had left, the petrified warrior collapsed on the ground, "My God... that scared me to death... With so many good guest ships around, why would you ride one full of corpses, as if you’ve come back from hell!"

The warrior sat on the ground, his face contorted with distress, as if he had truly been terrified!

As the white-robed man just entered Chaoyang City, the warriors at the ferry began to murmur among themselves:

"How come that man looked familiar to me?"

"This guest ship... it came from the Feiyun Dynasty..."

"A ship filled with corpses, and a white-robed man drinking at the bow of the ship... He is... Dongfang Bai!"

"It’s Dongfang Bai! The wielder of the Demonic Sword Purple Hui!"

"Then these corpses must be the warriors who wanted to seize the Demonic Sword but were instead killed by Dongfang Bai!"

Many warriors woke up to reality, recognizing Lin Bai’s identity.

And a few of them quickly ran back to Chaoyang City from the crossing, apparently to send word to someone!
