The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1354 - 1352 Crown Prince Fei Yun!

Chapter 1354: Chapter 1352 Crown Prince Fei Yun!

Lin Bai stood up with a wine glass in his hand and looked at Crown Prince Fei Yun with a beaming smile.

Crown Prince Fei Yun returned a slight smile, clinked glasses with Lin Bai, then downed his drink.

Afterward, Crown Prince Fei Yun took a step forward, drawing slightly closer to Lin Bai, and whispered with a smile, "Successor of the Demonic Sword, Dongfang Bai, that’s quite the reputation indeed. I wonder if Brother Dongfang still remembers someone named Han Di?"

Lin Bai smiled faintly, "I killed him."

Crown Prince Fei Yun laughed and said, "Hmm, then does Brother Dongfang happen to know what relationship I had with this Han Di?"

Lin Bai answered, "I’ve heard a bit, it seems like he was your teacher."

Crown Prince Fei Yun shook his head with a laugh, "No, he wasn’t my teacher!"

Lin Bai was startled.

What was going on?

When he met Han Di in Huanglong City, Lin Bai indeed knew that Han Di was Crown Prince Fei Yun’s mentor.

Crown Prince Fei Yun laughed and said, "He was my father! Although not by birth, he was like a real father to me!"

"Brother Dongfang should understand, in the household of an emperor, there is no kinship, but Han Di gave me the feeling of a real familial bond!"

As Crown Prince Fei Yun reached this point in his story, his eyes gradually narrowed, and an involuntary hint of killing intent radiated from him.

Lin Bai chuckled, "And then?"

Crown Prince Fei Yun sneered, "I will also participate in the martial arts competition three days from now."

Lin Bai laughed, "So?"

Seeing Lin Bai still appearing so indifferent, Crown Prince Fei Yun’s face twisted in anger, not bothering to conceal the killing intent. He gritted his teeth and said, "So, you’d best pick out a grave for yourself within these three days because, after three days, you will surely die by my hands!"

"Hmph!"

Having said that, Crown Prince Fei Yun turned and strode away!

Lin Bai watched his retreating figure and laughed silently, "Was that meant to be a threat? That routine might intimidate those willing to grovel at your feet, but to me... you’re simply courting death!"

"If you want revenge, then come at me, but I fear you’ll fail and end up throwing away your life for nothing!"

Lin Bai then sat down with a small smile.

Xue Qing, who was the closest to Lin Bai and Crown Prince Fei Yun, saw Fei Yun’s murderous return and immediately asked with alarm, "Brother Dongfang, do you have a grudge against that Crown Prince Fei Yun?"

Lin Bai smiled, "There are many who hold a grudge against me."

Xue Qing laughed awkwardly.

At this moment, Young Master Qian Shui approached with a wine glass in hand. Looking at the back of Crown Prince Fei Yun as he departed, he smiled and said, "Brother Dongfang, it seems like Crown Prince Fei Yun harbors quite a strong hostility towards you. Do you need any help from me?"

Lin Bai turned towards the man in front of him, whom he did not recognize.

Young Master Qian Shui said with a smile, "I am..."

Before Young Master Qian Shui could introduce himself, Xue Qing excitedly informed Lin Bai, "Brother Dongfang, he is one of The Three Young Masters, Young Master Qian Shui!"

Realization dawned on Lin Bai. He stood up with his wine glass, smiling, "So it’s Young Master Qian Shui. I’ve long admired your great name! It’s said that Young Master Qian Shui’s Water Droplet Realm has reached the middle stage, making you one of the foremost among your peers in cultivation of the realm."

Young Master Qian Shui gave a wry smile, "My small achievements are nothing compared to the Successor of the Demonic Sword! My visit tonight was solely to witness the encounter between the Demonic Sword and the Demon Sword!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, even Young Master Qian Shui, one of The Three Young Masters, was waiting for this epic meeting!

Afterward, Lin Bai had a long casual conversation with Young Master Qian Shui.

Before leaving, Young Master Qian Shui whispered to Lin Bai, "Be cautious of Young Master Hu Long and Star Prince."

After saying that, Young Master Qian Shui returned to his seat with a smile.

Lin Bai, hearing Young Master Qian Shui’s last words — which Qian Shui had said in a lowered voice, obviously not wishing for anyone else to hear —

Even Xue Qing had not caught what Young Master Qian Shui said in the end.

Lin Bai took a sip of wine and turned his gaze toward the genius seats on his right.

At a glance, he spotted Young Master Hu Long!

This Young Master Hu Long had a cold sneer on his face. Seeing Lin Bai’s gaze turned his way, he raised his wine cup, toasted Lin Bai from across the space, and then drank it down in one gulp.

Yet, Lin Bai could still see the meaning in Young Master Hu Long’s smile – it was more terrifying than a demon’s.

And another, Star Prince, although he felt Lin Bai’s gaze upon him, completely ignored it. On the contrary, he showed a trace of disdain, snorted coldly, and took a drink from his wine cup, minding his own business.

Lin Bai said speechlessly, "I can understand why Young Master Hu Long harbors hatred towards me; after all, Hu Hu died by my hand, and this Demonic Sword was supposed to belong to him. I can understand his hostility."

"But what about Star Prince? I don’t recall offending him."

Lin Bai pondered; this was indeed his first meeting with Star Prince, and he had indeed not provoked the other.

"Since Young Master Qian Shui warned me to be wary of Young Master Hu Long and Star Prince, obviously they have their sights set on me."

"Forget it, if they dare to come, I’ll take care of them together."

Lin Bai sat down nonchalantly.

Now Lin Bai didn’t want to figure out where he might have offended Star Prince; if Star Prince sought trouble, then Lin Bai would not let him off easily!

In the end, who in this Tianjiao banquet was an easy target?

Next, the princes from the various dynasties came forward one after another, approaching Lin Bai’s seat, toasting, and chatting merrily!

After a round of mingling, Lin Bai had pretty much become acquainted with everyone present!

And turning his head, Lin Bai also caught sight of a few other familiar faces.

For instance, Gu Lingfei and Liang Chunrong from the Second Step of the Sky Ladder.

These two harbored great malice towards Lin Bai; Gu Lingfei had narrowly escaped being slain by Lin Bai, and Liang Chunrong was punished heavily by the Yuntian Dynasty’s Emperor for his failure to protect the Third Prince, who had died at Lin Bai’s hands. Now, he also held deep hatred for Lin Bai!

The Tianjiao banquet was not meant for martial disputes.

This banquet was originally intended to bridge the gap between the dynasties and the ladder warriors, in order to recruit them for the dynasties in the future.

"Brother Dongfang, I am a prince of the Su Dynasty, Suling Qi!" At this moment, a prince of the Su Dynasty came over and said with a smile.

Lin Bai smiled faintly, lifted his wine cup, and said with a laugh, "The Su Dynasty? Hmm, I wonder if Prince Suling Qi might know someone by the name of Su Cang?"

Suling Qi’s face lit up with surprise and he said, "Brother Dongfang knows Su Cang? Honestly, Su Cang is from a collateral line of our royal family, but because of his tremendous achievements in Lingdong, he has now been granted the status of the direct royal lineage by my imperial father!"

"So, now Su Cang’s name should be Suling Cang!"

"Young Brother Suling Cang possesses extremely high Martial Art talent, and he also awakened his second Martial Soul in Lingdong. He’s highly regarded, and his Cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds every day, leaving us far behind."

"If Brother Dongfang knows Young Brother Suling Cang, then in the future, you are always welcome to visit our Su Dynasty! Our doors are forever open for Brother Dongfang."

Suling Qi said excitedly, as he originally wanted to win over the Successor of the Demonic Sword, and upon hearing that he was acquainted with Su Cang, he immediately became overjoyed.

Lin Bai chuckled, "Certainly, certainly, if I have time in the future, I shall visit the Su Dynasty!"

Lin Bai and Suling Qi clinked their cups and drank the wine.

But Suling Qi did not notice that when Lin Bai tilted his head to drink, a flash of icy coldness glimmered in his eyes!

Just then,

A maid led a black-robed warrior into the Great Hall, and Lin Bai’s gaze fell upon this black-robed warrior.

The black-robed warrior took his seat, and the maid went to inform the Sixth Prince, Longqing Xiao, "Your Highness Sixth Prince, the Legacy of the Demon Sword, Zhang Jianxing, has arrived."

Clunk!

At these words, Sixth Prince subconsciously turned his gaze towards Lin Bai!

Could this historic confrontation between the two sword masters of the exceptional Demon Sword and Demonic Sword be about to unfold?

The Sixth Prince knew well, the meeting of the sword masters of two legendary swords would be the climax of tonight’s banquet!
