The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1334 - 1332: Counter the Plot with a Plot!

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1332: Counter the Plot with a Plot!

Hu Xian’er looked at Lin Bai with an unyielding frown on her face, a hint of ferocity in her eyes, her silver teeth tightly clenched.

Since Hu Xian’er wouldn’t let Lin Bai leave, he simply sat down and began to heal his injuries.

"I’m going to go find something to eat, do you want anything?" Hu Xian’er asked as she walked to the door.

Lin Bai still did not respond.

Hu Xian’er glared at Lin Bai and left the room.

Once Hu Xian’er was gone, Lin Bai finally opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness Bai Xiaoxiao isn’t here, otherwise, with this empress’s temper, she’d definitely pack both Hu Xian’er and me off to Yama Hall!"

"This woman... haha, people Under Heaven really go to great lengths for the Demonic Sword!"

Lin Bai sneered repeatedly.

"But now that the Yin Saint Expert has arrived, this complicates matters. With my current Seventh Level of Flying Sky Realm cultivation, escaping from the grasp of a Yin Saint Realm might not be so easy!"

"At least a Ninth Level of Flying Sky Realm would be ideal."

"However, the fact that Hu Xian’er was able to save me from that Yin Saint Expert suggests she has the power to oppose a Yin Saint Realm Strong One. Maybe I can use her to my advantage..."

"At least until I’m capable of confronting the Yin Saint Realm myself!"

"Conveniently, she desires the Demonic Sword. As long as I give her a sliver of hope, make her believe she can cajole it from me, she probably won’t fly into a rage and attempt to kill me in the short term."

"Thankfully, I’ve crafted this ’Dongfang Bai’ identity while in Lingnan, portraying a carefree Sword Cultivator. If Hu Xian’er knew my true nature, she’d be fully aware that it’s impossible for me to hand over the Demonic Sword!"

"That would probably not leave me with much time!"

"This may very well be an opportunity."

Lin Bai’s eyes closed once again, and he began to ponder deeply!

Half a day later, Hu Xian’er returned to the room, arms laden with delectable food. Seeing Lin Bai still healing, she ate the food beside him disinterestedly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Bai, alight with sharp brilliance.

"Where are we?" asked Lin Bai at that moment.

Upon hearing Lin Bai speak, Hu Xian’er hurriedly replied, "We’re in a small town, 10,000 miles away from Chaoyang City. Do you have any idea how long your sister flew that night before finding this little town?"

"You sure turned cold and heartless as soon as you woke up."

Hu Xian’er muttered, pouting.

Lin Bai slightly smiled at the corner of his lips but didn’t respond. He continued healing.

Three days later, Lin Bai had almost fully recovered from his injuries!

That morning, Lin Bai got up and prepared to leave the small town.

"Are you leaving now?" Hu Xian’er asked.

"Yes," Lin Bai replied with a smile.

"Miss Hu Xian’er, thank you for saving my life."

After saying that, Lin Bai walked out of the room.

Hu Xian’er hurriedly followed, exclaiming, "Don’t think you can just leave me behind that easily. From now on, wherever you go, I’ll follow!"

Seeing Hu Xian’er catch up, Lin Bai also smiled faintly. He was well aware that Hu Xian’er was determined not to let him go so easily, not while the Demonic Sword was still in his possession!

"If you wish to follow, that’s fine. Do you know where the Demon Beasts are most numerous?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Hu Xian’er grinned mischievously, "Give me the Demonic Sword, and I’ll tell you!"

"Goodbye!" Lin Bai turned and walked away, his face resolute.

"Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, you heartbreaker," Hu Xian’er called after him hurriedly.

Lin Bai stopped and looked at Hu Xian’er.

Hu Xian’er chuckled lightly, "We’re not far from the border of the Yuntian Dynasty. If we leave the Yuntian Dynasty and travel forward for seven days, we’ll reach another Dynasty!"

"The Azure Dragon Empire!"

"Within the Azure Dragon Empire, there lies the Night Crow Mountain Range. The area is perfect for Warriors of the Flying Sky Realm to train and develop."

"Moreover, within the Night Crow Mountain Range, there is a place that attracts Warriors from all over the Lingnan Continent!"

Hu Xian’er said with a smile.

"What place?" Lin Bai inquired.

Hu Xian’er answered, "Purple Gold City!"

"Purple Gold City is within the Night Crow Mountain Range?" Lin Bai was momentarily surprised.

"Exactly, the Night Crow Mountain Range is almost entirely populated by Demon Beasts at or around the Great Perfection Realm. Purple Gold City has established a natural barrier there, which can also filter out any Warriors who arrive at Purple Gold City without sufficient skills," Hu Xian’er explained.

"Moreover, if we consider the time, there’s not much left until Purple Gold City’s discipleship day. By now, many Warriors must be cultivating within the Night Crow Mountain Range to enhance their strength one last time."

Hu Xian’er said with a faint smile.

"Alright then, let’s head to the Night Crow Mountain Range!" Lin Bai said flatly with a smile.

Immediately, Lin Bai flew up into the sky and found a city not too far from the small town. He stepped onto the Teleportation Array and headed straight for the Night Crow Mountain Range within the Azure Dragon Empire.

Naturally, Hu Xian’er closely followed him all the way!

Lin Bai had no intention of shaking her off, as he still needed to use her to counter the Yin Saint Expert who was on their tail!

Don’t be fooled by Hu Xian’er’s soft tone towards Lin Bai now. She only acted this way because Lin Bai had given her the impression that she could deceive him into surrendering the Demonic Sword.

The moment Hu Xian’er realized the truth, that Lin Bai would never give up the Demonic Sword, it was likely that this great beauty would turn into a femme fatale, ready to devour Lin Bai in an instant!

After all, Hu Xian’er and that Yin Saint Expert, as well as the other Warriors in the barren mountains outside Chaoyang City, they’re all cut from the same cloth, all driven by their desire for the Demonic Sword...
