Chapter 1381: Chapter 1378: Lin Bai’s Mother! Li Subai! (5 more Chapters)

Gui Jing and the Lord of Purple Gold City locked in a tussle before settling down.

Gui Jing nodded to Dongfang Bai, gesturing that he could go with confidence, and then handed Lin Bai a Sound Transmission Talisman, "After leaving the City Lord Mansion, use this talisman to contact me, and then we’ll head back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect together."

Lin Bai clasped his fists and laughed, "Yes."

Lin Bai received the talisman and turned toward the City Lord Mansion.

Meanwhile, the figure of the Lord of Purple Gold City flickered and vanished from the platform!

Inside Purple Gold City, a feast had been laid out for three days and nights, and countless warriors celebrated at this moment, with discussions mostly centered around the master of the Two Demonic Swords, as well as the soon-to-be-announced list of prodigies!

But at this moment, Lin Bai didn’t concern himself with all that and headed toward the City Lord Mansion!

The City Lord Mansion of Purple Gold City was empty, devoid of maids and servants.

Lin Bai strode directly into the City Lord Mansion, its interior pitch black, giving him a chilling sensation akin to stepping into the Underworld!

"This way!"

Just as Lin Bai was bewildered, the voice of the Lord of Purple Gold City echoed by his ear.

Hearing the voice, Lin Bai followed its direction and walked over!

Shortly after, Lin Bai arrived at a Great Hall, stepping through the doors, he saw the Lord of Purple Gold City sitting cross-legged in the eerily empty and terrifying hall!

As Lin Bai entered, the Lord of Purple Gold City waved his hand, directly closing the doors of the hall!

Lin Bai was taken aback, the demeanor of the Lord of Purple Gold City seemed somewhat off!

Lin Bai approached, staring directly into the eyes that were fixated on his!

"Dongfang Bai pays his respects to the Lord of Purple Gold City."

Lin Bai came before the Lord of Purple Gold City, clasping his fists and bowing.

The Lord of Purple Gold City said, "Sit."

Lin Bai slowly sat down in front of him, a faint smile on his face.

The Lord of Purple Gold City smiled and asked, "Do you really like that mask on your face?"

Click!

Hearing the first sentence uttered by the Lord of Purple Gold City took Lin Bai by surprise!

Had the Lord of Purple Gold City seen through his disguise?

Impossible!

The Ghost Disguise Skill had concealed him thus far; even Dong Qian hadn’t unraveled it, how could the Lord of Purple Gold City possibly have?

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin Bai kept his composure and laughed, "Why would I be in disguise?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City gave a wry smile, "Stop pretending, Lin Bai."

Crack!

Hearing his real name called out by the Lord of Purple Gold City, Lin Bai’s pupils instantly contracted, and the sword energy began to circulate within him, a murderous intent emanating from Lin Bai!

Lin Bai now had no clue whether the Lord of Purple Gold City was friend or foe!

If the Lord of Purple Gold City were aligned with the Six Freaks of Lingnan, Lin Bai’s discovered identity could be very dangerous.

The Lord of Purple Gold City said, "I heard that you were dead, where have you been these two years?"

Lin Bai stared at the Lord of Purple Gold City, his eyes narrowing, voice low, "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Hahaha."

The Lord of Purple Gold City laughed heartily, his laughter filled with loneliness and sorrow, before looking down at Lin Bai and softly asking, "Do you know how your name came about?"

"Why you are called Lin Bai."

"Such a common name."

The Lord of Purple Gold City asked with a light smile.

Lin Bai shook his head.

The Lord of Purple Gold City smiled, "Your father was Lin Duo, your mother was Li Subai!"

"Your surname comes from your father, and your name from your mother!"

"Lin from Lin Duo, Bai from Li Subai!"

"That is your name—Lin Bai!"

The Lord of Purple Gold City explained as he smiled down at Lin Bai.

Hearing this, Lin Bai’s eyes widened as if struck by lightning, his entire body breaking out in cold sweat, he exclaimed, "You knew my parents? Where are they?"

"My mother was Li Subai?"

"Where is she?"

"Where did my father go?"

Lin Bai asked urgently.

The Lord of Purple Gold City looked at Lin Bai with a smile and said lightly, "It’s unexpected, you have grown so much; when I first saw you, you were just a month old!"

"Lin Bai, you needn’t be guarded against me, I mean you no harm."

"On the contrary, I have been waiting for you!"

Lin Bai looked at the Lord of Purple Gold City with suspicion, curiously asking, "Waiting for me? Waiting for me to do what?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City smiled, "Yes, I have been waiting for you, and not just me, many others have been too, waiting for you to leave Lingdong, leave the Territory of all nations, go to East Continent, go where you should go."

Lin Bai’s expression turned stern as he looked at the Lord of Purple Gold City, "Where should I go..."

The Lord of Purple Gold City said lightly, "Go...haha, it’s still too early to talk about these things now, wait until you have enough strength."

"You can ask me some questions now, I’ll try to answer what I can."

"I know, you have many questions."

The Lord of Purple Gold City continued smiling.

Lin Bai pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are my parents?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City said, "I don’t know."

Lin Bai continued, "Are my parents alive or dead?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City said, "I don’t know."

Hearing these consecutive unknowns from the Lord of Purple Gold City, Lin Bai’s face turned ashen green, and he asked again, "Why are you waiting for me? What exactly do you want me to do?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City said, "We are waiting for you to take revenge!"

Lin Bai asked, "Revenge? Who is my enemy?"

Hearing this, the Lord of Purple Gold City paused for a moment, then said, "I don’t know."

Lin Bai sneered, "Do you not know, or do you not wish to tell?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Purple Gold City fell silent, then laughed and said, "I shouldn’t have given you the chance to ask."

Lin Bai, face filled with rage, said, "I came out of Lingdong, I’ve walked so far, I’ve tried so hard, all I want is to find my parents. Why won’t you tell me?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City coldly said, "Because you are too weak, telling you would only spoil matters. Perhaps, by the time I speak of these things today, you might be dead tomorrow!"

Lin Bai coldly said, "Too weak? How strong must I be then, for you to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Purple Gold City frowned slightly and said, "At least wait until you have the strength to overthrow the Azure Dragon Empire, then talk."

"Overthrow the Azure Dragon Empire? Why should I overthrow the Azure Dragon Empire?"

Lin Bai asked.

The Lord of Purple Gold City laughed, "Because your father Lin Duo, your mother Li Subai ended up in such a state, it was all gifted by the hands of the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire, Long Lingxiao!"

"Are you satisfied with this answer?" the Lord of Purple Gold City asked.

"The Emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire! Long Lingxiao?" Lin Bai looked puzzledly at the Lord of Purple Gold City.

The Lord of Purple Gold City laughed, "Lin Bai, when you have the strength to crush the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire beneath your feet, I will then tell you about your father."

"Of course, you could also ask Long Lingxiao himself. He knows much more than I do."

"I’ve already said, your parents’ downfall, it was all gifted by Long Lingxiao. If not for him, how could Lin Duo have such a reputation back then, how could your mother Li Subai have such a standing, how could it possibly... how could it possibly..."

The Lord of Purple Gold City said, his face full of anger and hostility.

His words were on the tip of his tongue, but in the end, he did not say them out loud.

The Lord of Purple Gold City suppressed the rage in his heart, his expression coldly clear, and said, "What you need to do now is not to be angry but to endure. You are the last hope of Lin Duo and Li Subai, you are also our last hope. This flagpole, only you can carry!"

"What you should do now is not continue to tirelessly question but should try hard to enhance your strength, to break through the Flying Sky Realm, to overcome Yin Saint, Yangshen, and even ascend to higher realms like Life-and-Death, Death Reversal, Wending!"

"Only when you possess the strength to stand atop the peak of Barbarian Ancient can you possibly reunite your family."

"Endure! Do you understand?" The Lord of Purple Gold City said earnestly, patting Lin Bai on the shoulder!

Lin Bai stood up angrily, his expression detached, and said, "Thank you, Lord of Purple Gold City for pointing out a way. Since you do not wish to tell me, then Lin Bai can only seek out Long Lingxiao."

"Rest assured, my Lord, I am not one to act rashly. When I stand before Long Lingxiao, I will surely have made all the necessary preparations!"

"I will pry open Long Lingxiao’s teeth and force him to personally reveal everything about my father. When that time comes, I will have my revenge!"

"If the Lord has no further matters, then Lin Bai will take his leave."

Lin Bai bowed and walked out of the Great Hall.

Watching Lin Bai’s departing silhouette, the Lord of Purple Gold City smiled silently: "Truly like his father, untamed and unyielding!"

Arriving at the gate of the hall, Lin Bai stopped and asked, "By the way, my Lord, do you know... Su Yanhua?"

Hearing this, the Lord of Purple Gold City smiled interestedly, "I do indeed know her. Su Yanhua also has a daughter, who is of your age, named Su Xianmei!"

"Back then, Su Xianmei was born three days before you, Lin Duo and Su Yanhua even arranged a marriage between you."

Crack!

Upon hearing the words of the Lord of Purple Gold City, Lin Bai was struck by another thunderbolt!

"Sister Su is Su Yanhua’s daughter?" Lin Bai widened his eyes!

The Lord of Purple Gold City smiled, "Yes, didn’t you meet Su Xianmei, with whom you were matched, when you were in Lingdong?"

Lin Bai stood dumbfounded, as if petrified!

The Lord of Purple Gold City chuckled, "It seems neither Su Yanhua nor Su Xianmei revealed their identities to you."

"Lin Bai, you should have thought, being an Inspector Envoy of the Tianbao Tower, with such a high stature, why would she be in the Territory of all nations?"

"Even if she came to the Territory of all nations, why would she go to Lingdong?"

"Even if she went to Lingdong, among the Three Great Dynasties, why would she go to a barren part of the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom?"

"Even if she went to the Shenwu Kingdom, among millions of cities, why would she go to Lin Duo’s Lingxi City to take up the minor role of a Tower Master?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City said with a smile.

Lin Bai heard the words of the Lord of Purple Gold City, and only then did he think back—the first time Lin Bai met Su Xianmei, she revealed her identity as the Tower Master of a branch of the Tianbao Tower!

And now, being pointed out by the Lord of Purple Gold City, Lin Bai carefully thought again...

With her status and position, how could she possibly be in Lingxi City?

Lin Bai remembered when he was in Lingxi City, she was indeed the Tower Master of the Tianbao Tower!

Lin Bai had gone to the auction of "The Great Five Elements Secret Skill," and it just so happened that Su Xianmei was the auctioneer at the Hanshan City auction.

When Lin Bai went to the East Sea, Su Xianmei was also in the East Sea.

After Lin Bai went to Miracle Ridge, Su Xianmei also went to Miracle Ridge!

Was this all coincidence?

Or was Su Xianmei following Lin Bai all along?

Wherever Lin Bai went, would she be there?

"Why?" Lin Bai looked at the Lord of Purple Gold City and asked again.

The Lord of Purple Gold City said, "I have told you, many are waiting for you to seek revenge, and Su Yanhua and her daughter Su Xianmei are among them!"

"By the way, since you and Su Xianmei are engaged, and you are Lin Duo’s only son, facing a perilous future, you should find some time and finalize things with Su Xianmei, to leave a descendant for the Lin Family!"

"In case something happens to you, we can’t let Elder Brother Lin Duo die without a successor!"

"I’ve met Su Xianmei, and the little lady is quite charming these days, fair-skinned and beautiful, with a graceful figure. I simply can’t believe you could look at her and remain unmoved!"

The Lord of Purple Gold City said with a teasing smile.

Lin Bai’s face turned cold, and he straightened his walk out of the Great Hall: "Is there not a single serious person in this Purple Gold City?"

Lin Bai left.

The Lord of Purple Gold City watched Lin Bai leave, his smile stiffening slightly as he said softly, "Elder Brother Lin Duo, Wife Su Bai, your son, he is coming."

"You must wait for us; we are also coming..."
