Chapter 1351: Chapter 1349: Legacy of the Demon Sword

On this day, Lin Bai stood at the window, watching the Warriors come and go in the Purple Gold City below, holding a jug of fine wine in his hand, drinking alone.

At this moment, suddenly someone knocked on the door heavily several times, with a sense of urgency in the knocking.

Lin Bai frowned, who is so rude?

Lin Bai went to the door and opened it, seeing the Waiter standing there, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

"Waiter, are you being chased by your arch nemesis?" Lin Bai said, jokingly laughing upon seeing the Waiter’s breathless state.

The Waiter took a few deep breaths, eyes filled with horror, and said to Lin Bai, "Brother Dongfang, the Demon Sword has appeared!"

"Hm?" Lin Bai frowned upon hearing this.

The Waiter then continued, "One of the five legendary swords from the great enemies of Lingnan, the ’God, Devil, Demon, Immortal, Ghost,’ the Demon Sword, has appeared!"

After hearing this, Lin Bai asked, "When did this happen?"

The Waiter answered, "It was last night at dusk, on Cold Mountain. A Demon Beast King challenged over a dozen experts from the Human Clan in succession, and we were almost forced to ask for help from The Three Young Masters."

"But at that moment, a man dressed in black, wielding the Demon Sword, appeared and with a single stroke, he slew the Demon Beast King known as ’Hong Sha’!"

"Moreover, this Demon Beast King didn’t even have a chance to reveal its true form!"

"Since last night, after slaying the Demon Beast King on Cold Mountain with a single sword strike, this Successor of the Demon Sword has already ascended to the First Step of the Sky Ladder. Brother Dongfang, do you want to go down and take a look?"

The Waiter hurriedly said to Lin Bai.

"I suppose I should take a look."

Lin Bai chuckled lightly and followed the Waiter down to the first floor.

Sure enough, the first floor was filled with Warriors staring at the Stone Stele of the Sky Ladder, exclaiming in amazement!

"My God! What on earth is happening in Purple Gold City this year?"

"The Successor of the Demonic Sword has just arrived, and now the Legacy of the Demon Sword has followed right after!"

"This Demon Sword Prince seems as powerful as the Successor of the Demonic Sword, or perhaps even stronger!"

Many Warriors commented while looking at the Stone Stele of the Sky Ladder.

Lin Bai stood at the staircase entrance, looking at the stele, and noticed that after "Young Master Qian Shui," "Young Master Hu Long," "Star Prince," a fourth prince had appeared!

"Demon Sword Prince, Zhang Jianxing, with an unknown origin, main deed: Slain a Beast King at the Great Perfection of Flying Sky Realm on Cold Mountain!"

Lin Bai took a cursory glance at the Stone Stele of the Sky Ladder and memorized the name of the Demon Sword Prince.

"Interesting, I didn’t expect that two of the five famous swords of the Lingnan Continent would appear!" Lin Bai said with a light smile.

The Waiter said, "Brother Dongfang, this Legacy of the Demon Sword is almost as famous as you. Ever since the Demon Sword has surfaced, everyone is discussing that at the Purple Gold City’s disciple acceptance battle, the Two Demonic Swords must clash!"

Lin Bai laughed, "Then we’ll fight. Aren’t we Warriors unafraid of battles?"

The Waiter laughed, "It’s said that the Legacy of the Demon Sword has also received an invitation from Ding Tian Palace and will attend the Tianjiao banquet tomorrow!"

Lin Bai’s eyebrows lifted in delight, "Oh? He will attend too? Then that’s perfect; I can meet this person tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the Waiter’s face lit up with ecstasy, and he said excitedly, "Descendants of the Two Demonic Swords meeting each other, this is the first time in thousands of years that the holders of two famous swords will meet. It’s a pity though, the Ding Tian Palace has rules, and if not invited, Warriors cannot enter."

"Otherwise, I’d truly like to witness this epic meeting!"

The Waiter said with a light laugh.

"If you want to go, you can have Tianbao Tower arrange it," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

The Waiter responded, "Brother Dongfang, you might not know this, but I’m not a disciple of Tianbao Tower!"

Speaking of which, "I, like you, am also here to take part in this disciple acceptance."

The Waiter spoke somewhat awkwardly.

Lin Bai frowned upon hearing this, "If the Waiter has come to participate in the apprentice selection, why would he be working in Tianbao Tower?"

The Waiter replied with an awkward smile, "My family isn’t well-off, and I am from a remote, small city. I spent all my Spiritual Stones on my journey here, and if the Tianbao Tower hadn’t offered me work, I would probably be sleeping on the streets now."

Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization, "I see, if that’s the case, then since you want to go, tomorrow I’ll take you with me."

"Really? Big Brother Dongfang, you are going to take me to Ding Tian Palace?" The Waiter said joyously.

Lin Bai responded with a smile, "The invitation doesn’t specify that friends can’t accompany us, and since it’s just you, I believe nobody will pay too much attention to you in the Ding Tian Palace brimming with talented individuals tomorrow!"

The Waiter said with an excited face, "Thank you, Big Brother Dongfang!"

Lin Bai asked with a smile, "By the way, what’s your name?"

The Waiter hurriedly answered, "I am Xue Qing!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, "Alright, then let’s go together tomorrow. In fact, I don’t know any of these talents, so it would be good to have you introduce them to me."

"Sure!" Xue Qing said with a smile, "Rest assured, Big Brother Dongfang, I have been in Purple Gold City for over a month, and I am quite familiar with the talents here now."

"Good."

Lin Bai nodded gently.

After that, the Waiter took his leave.

Lin Bai returned to his room, stood by the window, picked up a jug of wine, and stared blankly at the sky, muttering to himself, "With both the Demonic Sword and the Demon Sword emerging at the same time, can the Lingnan Continent withstand such upheaval?"

The night passed without incident, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening the next day.

The Waiter, Xue Qing, had asked for leave from the higher-ups of Tianbao Tower early in the day and came to Lin Bai’s room to fetch him!

Outside the Tianbao Inn, a carriage had been waiting early on.

Lin Bai and Xue Qing stepped onto the carriage and headed towards the Ding Tian Palace!

Ding Tian Palace was located in East City, the most luxurious palace within, so luxurious that even from ten thousand miles away, one could clearly see its gilded roof tiles.

At the moment, outside Ding Tian Palace, a large number of Warriors had gathered. They were not invited Warriors, but they had come to see which talents would attend the night banquet at Ding Tian Palace!

"My goodness, there are so many formidable people here."

"Yes, the Three Young Masters and the Wine Fairy have already shown up!"

"The dozen or so people who just walked in are all extraordinary talents from the Second Step of the Sky Ladder!"

"Mad, I am so envious it’s killing me. If only I could have a drink with these talents in the Ding Tian Palace, I’d die happy!"

"Haha, Old Zhang, with your cultivation level, you want to enter the Ding Tian Palace? Maybe in your next life!"

"Old Li, stop teasing me. You talk as if your cultivation is so high..."

Outside Ding Tian Palace, the Warriors watching the talents were chatting and laughing jovially.

At that time, a carriage stopped outside Ding Tian Palace, and two young men stepped out!

"The Successor of the Demonic Sword has arrived!"

"I had already heard that the Successor of the Demonic Sword would also attend this Tianjiao banquet, but I didn’t expect it to be true!"

"Not only that, I’ve heard... the Legacy of the Demon Sword will come today as well!"

"What! Both the Demonic and Demon Swords are going to meet inside Ding Tian Palace today?"

"Ah, it’s so frustrating! It has been hundreds of years since the Two Demonic Swords emerged, and now that their owners are about to meet, we have to wait outside Ding Tian Palace, missing out on this historic moment?"

"Yes, missing this epic encounter is a regret in life indeed!"

Seeing Dongfang Bai and Xue Qing emerge from the carriage, the surrounding Warriors buzzed with excitement!

Beneath the envious gaze of all the surrounding Warriors, Lin Bai and Xue Qing walked towards Ding Tian Palace!
