Chapter 1386: Chapter 1383: Zhu Clan! Zhu Meng! (5 Updates)

Lin Bai also took on a task, his eyes showing interest as he looked at the jade slip in his hand. When he infused spiritual power into the jade slip, a piece of text emerged, which was exactly the same as the words on the stone wall.

However, at the end of the text, there was an additional sentence: "The holder of this jade slip, Dongfang Bai!"

Jiang Jing saw that Lin Bai had also taken out a jade slip and exclaimed, "Junior Brother, you’ve just joined the Sect, why did you already retrieve a jade slip?"

Lin Bai forced a smile and said, "Senior Brother, those ten thousand contribution points are truly tempting. I couldn’t resist and went to take one..."

Jiang Jing’s face was filled with worry as he looked at Lin Bai and said, "Alas, since you’ve already taken a jade slip, then let’s go together. When the time comes, stick close to me; I will protect you thoroughly!"

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "Then thank you, Brother Jiang Jing."

Lin Bai then looked towards the stone wall. Participating in this task would yield ten thousand contribution points, and moreover, slaying demon beasts could be exchanged for more contribution points, which had a significant impact on Lin Bai’s cultivation.

Lin Bai’s expression darkened as he thought to himself with a smirk, "This is a win-win-win situation; I’d be a fool not to go!"

While he was happy in his heart, Lin Bai did not show any outward sign of it.

"Senior Brother, come quickly, the Sect mission has been posted!"

"That’s right, it’s headed to Dongshuang City!"

"With three Purple Robe Disciples leading the way, there shouldn’t be any problem!"

"Senior Brother, hurry over!"

Immediately, the Warriors began calling out to their friends.

In just a few breaths of time, White Robe Disciples, Blue Robe Disciples, Yellow Robe Disciples, and even Red Robe Disciples began converging from all directions.

In just around ten breaths’ worth of time, all jade slips below the Red Robe Disciples had already been taken.

However, there were still the quotas for over a hundred Red Robe Disciples and three Purple Robe Disciples left, yet to be claimed by anyone.

Holding the jade slip in his hand, Jiang Jing said, "Junior Brother, now that we have the jade slips, let’s be on our way."

Lin Bai cautioned, "Brother Jiang Jing, that Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint is of the Yin Saint Great Perfection Realm, not to be underestimated. Since he dares to slaughter a city, he must have brought a large number of Demon Clan Powerhouses with him. Our journey is bound to be fraught with extreme peril."

Hearing Lin Bai’s words, the joy on Jiang Jing’s face slightly receded as he solemnly said, "You’re right, Junior Brother. The Valley of Demons has come with a menacing force this time, daring to slaughter a city, which is clearly a provocation against the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"So we should head back to prepare some more."

Lin Bai nodded, thinking that Brother Jiang Jing made sense, and indeed, they needed to prepare carefully upon their return!

"Let’s go."

Jiang Jing and Lin Bai prepared to leave the Treasure-seeking Pavilion!

But just as Jiang Jing and Lin Bai turned to leave, a curse rang out from within the crowd, "Damn, how are your hands so fast, taking all the White Robe Disciple’s quotas?"

At this moment, the cursing man turned his head and, by chance, saw Lin Bai putting the jade slip into his storage bag, ready to leave the Treasure-seeking Pavilion with Jiang Jing.

"Stop right there!" The brusque man walked over, striding like a dragon and pacing like a tiger, and grabbed Lin Bai’s arm.

Lin Bai was startled; this man grabbed his arm, using force as if he intended to crush it!

Lin Bai’s face showed displeasure, looking at the man with a frosty expression.

The brusque man, spitting while he spoke, bellowed in anger, "You, a Ninth Level of Flying Sky Realm Warrior, not even in the Yin Saint Realm, what crowd are you joining? Taking the jade slip and going to Dongshuang City is tantamount to seeking death!"

Lin Bai’s arm was firmly gripped by the burly man, waves of agony spreading through it, causing Lin Bai’s face to momentarily turn icy: "Whether I am going to my death or not is none of your concern!"

Lin Bai spoke coldly.

Seeing this, Jiang Jing immediately said, "Zhu Meng, what are you doing!"

This brusque man, named Zhu Meng, was like Lin Bai, a White Robe Disciple, only Zhu Meng’s cultivation had already surpassed that of the Flying Sky Realm, being at the first level of the Yin Saint Realm!

Within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, one can only become an Inner Disciple when reaching the Yin Saint Realm, whereas the majority of Outer Sect Disciples were in the Flying Sky Realm!

Clearly, Jiang Jing and this Zhu Meng knew each other.

Zhu Meng said coldly, "What am I doing? A Ninth Level Flying Sky Realm Disciple, I don’t know how he wormed his way into the Inner Gate. Hmph, that jade slip is too much for you; hand it over to me."

Lin Bai’s face took on a hint of anger, "What if I refuse?"

Zhu Meng snorted coldly, "Then unless you don’t want this arm of yours."

As he spoke, Zhu Meng’s grip on Lin Bai’s arm tightened slightly, causing a piercing pain to shoot through Lin Bai’s arm!

Zhu Meng’s face was filled with a cold smile, cruelty showing at the corners of his mouth.

A rage welled up within Lin Bai, and in an instant, spiritual power surged through his body like a wild dragon, forcefully shaking off Zhu Meng’s hold on his arm!

Zhu Meng staggered back three steps from the force Lin Bai had unleashed, anger spreading across his face, "You brat, still thinking of taking action? Your Uncle Zhu is going to deal with you!"

As he spoke, Zhu Meng pulled out a three-meter-long heavy sword from his storage bag, swinging it vigorously towards Lin Bai.

Zhu Meng’s Earth Realm cultivation, in perfect harmony with the heavy sword, became immensely powerful once executed!

"Heavy sword!"

Lin Bai’s face turned cold upon seeing the sword in Zhu Meng’s hand.

Since Lin Bai had entered the Martial World, he had rarely encountered warriors who used heavy swords; after all, swords were known for their light and agile swordsmanship, and heavy sword users were indeed rare.

Jiang Jing hurriedly shouted, "Zhu Meng, stop! This place is the Treasure-seeking Pavilion. If you take action here, the Sect’s discipline will punish you!"

Zhu Meng gave a disdainful sneer, "Hahaha, the rules are there to constrain weaklings like you. Within the Inner Gate, who dares to touch me, Zhu Meng?"

"Who dares to be an enemy of the Zhu Clan?"

Zhu Meng laughed wildly, "This brat dares to compete with me for the jade slip, that’s courting death. After I slay you, I’ll take the jade slip from your corpse!"

"The Zhu Clan!" Jiang Jing’s face revealed a hint of apprehension upon hearing this name.

At that moment, Zhu Meng, with sword in hand, fiercely struck toward Lin Bai’s head!

A chorus of shocked cries spread throughout the Treasure-seeking Pavilion as everyone was pushed back by the force of Zhu Meng’s sword strike.

"What audacity, to take action within the Treasure-seeking Pavilion?"

"That looks like Zhu Meng of the Zhu Clan, no wonder he’s so rampant!"

"It’s over, Zhu Meng can surely kill that warrior at the Ninth Level of Flying Sky Realm with this one sword move. Even if the Sect investigates later, the man will already be dead. They probably won’t seriously challenge the Zhu Clan over such a trivial matter, at most they’ll lightly reprimand!"

The surrounding crowd erupted in a chorus of exclamations!

Lin Bai saw Zhu Meng’s sword strike coming and his eyes flashed with ferocity. In that instant a sharp sword flew out of his storage bag, piercing through the void straight toward Zhu Meng’s throat!

Lin Bai’s sword thrust was enveloping, astonishing many in the crowd!

Just then, a flash of purple light appeared in front of Zhu Meng, with a flick of a finger deflecting Lin Bai’s sword blade away, and the same person casually intercepted Zhu Meng’s attack!

Seeing someone blocking him, Zhu Meng, who was already furious, took a closer look and then shouted angrily, "Brother Zhu Lie, what are you doing stopping me? I’m going to kill this brat!"

The suddenly appearing man in a purple robe had delicate features and a pale face with a hint of coldness.

"Disciple in a purple robe, Zhu Lie!"

Jiang Jing and the many warriors all shouted in unison!

This Zhu Lie was indeed a Purple Robe Inner Sect Disciple.

Zhu Lie glared at Zhu Meng and said, "If it weren’t for me, you would already be dead by now."

"What?" Zhu Meng’s eyes widened as he felt a chill on his neck. He touched it in horror to find a sword mark, from which blood was trickling out.

Zhu Meng looked terrified. He hadn’t felt Lin Bai’s sword blade; how could Lin Bai have injured him with a single sword stroke?

Lin Bai saw the Purple Robe Disciple, his face still retaining its iciness as he slowly retracted his Demonic Sword. If it hadn’t been for Zhu Lie’s intervention, the brash Zhu Meng would undoubtedly have died by Lin Bai’s sword!

After casting a glance at Zhu Meng, Zhu Lie turned his unfriendly gaze to Lin Bai, speaking with a cold tone, "Such a venomous heart you have, drawing the sword with the intent to kill. Junior brother, where did you learn such a sinister and vicious sword technique?"

Lin Bai replied indifferently, "Senior brother, you speak so amusingly. Did Zhu Meng think of leaving me a way out when he attacked?"

Lin Bai also realized that this Zhu Lie was in league with Zhu Meng.

And, indeed, the conversation between Lin Bai and Zhu Lie was like the clash of sharp swords.

Jiang Jing thought to himself, worrying that if Lin Bai offends a Purple Robe Disciple just after joining the Sect, how could his future days be
