The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1352 - 1350 Ding Tian Palace!

Chapter 1352: Chapter 1350 Ding Tian Palace!

Lin Bai and Xue Qing stepped out of the carriage, and Lin Bai looked up to see the majestic entrance of the Ding Tian Palace. The doors were resplendent with gold, filled with a noble aura, as if only genuine dragons and phoenixes among men could step through them!

Lin Bai turned around to see a great number of warriors outside the Ding Tian Palace watching him with reverence. Lin Bai smiled slightly and said, "Let’s go, we’re quite late already."

Xue Qing exclaimed joyfully, "I can’t believe I, Xue Qing, have the fortune to attend the Tianjiao banquet with Lord Dongfang. If the uncles and elders back in our town hear of this, they would surely think I’m boasting!"

"Lord Dongfang, after you!"

Xue Qing said with a smile.

Lin Bai gave a slight smile, stepped off the carriage, and walked towards the Ding Tian Palace!

No sooner had Lin Bai and Xue Qing crossed the first threshold than a maid came up with a sparkling smile, bowed slightly, and said sweetly, "Are the two of you the geniuses invited by the Sixth Prince today? Please present your invitation letters!"

Lin Bai took the invitation letter from his Storage Bag and handed it over to the maid.

The maid, obviously literate, opened it and gasped in shock when she saw the bold letters "Successor of the Demonic Sword" on the invitation, turning slightly pale!

"So, you are the Successor of the Demonic Sword. I apologize for my rudeness!" The maid respectfully returned the invitation letter to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took back the invitation letter and smiled, "No need for formalities, miss. I have a friend who also wishes to witness the Tianjiao banquet. May I bring him along?"

The maid looked up at Xue Qing and nodded, "Since he’s a friend of Lord Dongfang, Red Child would not dare to prevent him, but please keep your friend close to avoid unwanted troubles."

"Understood." Lin Bai nodded slightly.

The maid Red Child smiled and said, "Please follow me, Lord Dongfang. The banquet is about to start."

Lin Bai nodded, and together with Xue Qing, followed behind Maid Red Child into the Ding Tian Palace.

Xue Qing, his face alive with excitement, asked, "Miss Red Child, may I know who has arrived at today’s Tianjiao banquet?"

Maid Red Child smiled and said, "Currently, in the great hall, Young Master Qian Shui, Star Prince, Young Master Hu Long, and Wine Fairy are already here!"

"Then, the princes from the Three Great Dynasties have also almost all arrived."

"Other talented individuals from the Second Step of the Sky Ladder have been arriving continuously."

Maid Red Child softly added.

Among the myriad dynasties of Lingnan, the Azure Dragon Empire, the Su Dynasty, and the Zhao Royal Dynasty were considered the most powerful!

Following them were the Litian Dynasty, Yuntian Dynasty, and Feiyun Dynasty, among others.

During their casual conversation along the way, Maid Red Child led Lin Bai and Xue Qing to the front of a great hall, where she respectfully pushed open the doors, revealing the sounds of music and dance from within!

"Lord Dongfang, this way, please!"

Lin Bai and Xue Qing stepped inside the great hall and saw that it was already filled with many people.

As Lin Bai arrived, most of the warriors present turned their gaze towards him.

Lin Bai looked around; the great hall was essentially divided into two factions!

To the left, seated were cultivated young masters and beautiful women.

To the right, sat many prodigies, among whom Lin Bai noticed Wine Fairy Ni Xiangen.

Maid Red Child led Lin Bai to an empty seat on the right side.

Lin Bai and Xue Qing sat down!

Immediately, Maid Red Child went to the foremost seat on the left, where a young man dressed in splendid attire sat, and announced, "Your Highness, Sixth Prince, Dongfang Bai has arrived."

The man seated at the foremost left, turned out to be the Sixth Prince of the Azure Dragon Empire, Longqing Xiao!

At that moment, the Sixth Prince was hastily drinking from his cup. When he heard the words of the maid, his face lit up with joy as he looked towards Lin Bai’s location!

Immediately, the Sixth Prince, Longqing Xiao, stood up from his seat and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the renowned Successor of the Demonic Sword, Dongfang Bai, who has been the talk of the Lingnan Continent in recent months, has arrived!"

"Welcome, Brother Dongfang!"

The Sixth Prince raised his cup and looked towards Lin Bai’s location!

Instantly, the maid, Hong’er, returned and knelt beside Lin Bai’s table to pour wine into his cup!

"Dongfang Bai?"

"Hehe, the Successor of the Demonic Sword?"

"His name has indeed been very prominent these past few months, but I wonder if he truly possesses such great capabilities?"

Many warriors who heard the name ’Dongfang Bai’ had varied expressions. Some were thrilled, while others were disdainful!

As the Sixth Prince, Longqing Xiao, raised his cup and approached Lin Bai, he chuckled and said, "Brother Dongfang, I have long admired your name. I am Longqing Xiao, the Sixth Prince of the Azure Dragon Empire, and I am hosting this feast at the Ding Tian Palace!"

Lin Bai raised his cup and replied with a light laugh, "Thank you for the invitation, Sixth Prince!"

The Sixth Prince, Longqing Xiao, burst into laughter and said, "Not at all, not at all. It is my honor to share a table with such talented youths of Lingnan!"

"Successor of the Demonic Sword, Brother Dongfang, I toast to you!"

laughed the Sixth Prince.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, raised his cup, and clinked it with the Sixth Prince’s before drinking.

After finishing his cup, Lin Bai smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the wine.

The Sixth Prince smiled and asked, "Brother Dongfang, how is it? This is a special wine called ’Morning Sky Jade Dew’ that I brought specifically for this banquet from the Azure Dragon Empire. It is indeed a rare fine brew in the Lingnan Continent!"

Lin Bai smiled lightly and said, "The wine is good, but it is not the best I have ever had!"

Curious, the Sixth Prince, Longqing Xiao, asked, "Oh? Brother Dongfang, you’ve tasted other fine wines? You must introduce them to me sometime. I must confess, I too am a man who relishes wine!"

Lin Bai smiled gently, looked to his right where a woman was seated among the talented individuals, and said softly with a smile, "The best wine I’ve ever drunk in my life was naturally from the hands of the Wine Fairy. That glass of Moonlight nearly had me dizzy and disoriented!"

"The Wine Fairy’s Moonlight, hahaha, Brother Dongfang, how many in Lingnan dare to drink the Wine Fairy’s Moonlight!"

The Sixth Prince smiled faintly, obviously full of respect for the wine made by the Wine Fairy Ni Xiangen!

Feeling Lin Bai’s gaze, the Wine Fairy Ni Xiangen, holding her cup, immediately walked over and chuckled, "Should the Sixth Prince and Brother Dongfang wish to drink my wine, just say the word, and I will prepare it right away."

The Sixth Prince quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I dare not drink your wine. I’m afraid it would utterly bewitch me!"

Ni Xiangen smiled slightly and said to Lin Bai, "Brother Dongfang, it’s been a long time!"

"Indeed, it has been a long time."

Lin Bai laughed and raised his cup, clinking it with Ni Xiangen’s and taking a sip of the strong liquor!

Ni Xiangen chuckled and said, "Brother Dongfang, the banquet will last until late into the night, so try not to get too drunk too soon!"

Lin Bai replied with a laugh, "As long as I’m not drinking your wine, with my drinking capacity, I won’t easily get drunk!"

Ni Xiangen smiled faintly and said, "That’s for the best. I’m looking forward to seeing the encounter between the Two Demonic Swords later on. It’s going to be an epic scene, isn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince, Longqing Xiao’s face also showed excitement!

Indeed, this banquet would, unsurprisingly, be dominated by the much-anticipated encounter between the Two Demonic Swords.
