Chapter 1392: Chapter 1389: Invading Dongshuang City!

Lin Bai and Jiang Jing did not return to the Zhu Family but instead found an inn to stay in within Zhu’s Fairy City until they rejoined the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect the next morning.

The head of the Zhu Family, Zhu Chang, said with a smile, "I have prepared a Spirit Boat for all the esteemed disciples. Alas, since Zhu’s Fairy City is quite close to Dongshuang City, I must remain here to guard our city and can’t provide any hands-on help to you all!"

Zhu Chang said this with a hint of guilt.

The Purple Robe Disciple Zhao Qing cracked a smile and said, "Family Head Zhu Chang is being too polite. With me, Junior Brother Zhu Lie, and Junior Brother Bao Jun here, even if we face the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, we have the power to fight!"

"Please rest assured, Family Head Zhu Chang. The disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect are no pushovers!"

Zhu Chang said with a laugh, "Then I will await the joyous news of your grand victory here in Zhu’s Fairy City. Lie’er, be sure to remember the words I entrusted to you last night."

Zhu Lie laughed and said, "Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t forget."

Everyone could tell that Zhu Chang’s last sentence was an instruction to Zhu Lie, which was nothing more than that he hoped Zhu Lie would be careful today in Dongshuang City and not lose his life.

Although everyone heard it, they didn’t take it to heart since all parents naturally hoped not to see their children die.

"Well then, let’s set out," Bao Jun called out as he boarded the Spirit Boat.

Following the three Purple Robe Disciples onto the Spirit Boat, the other disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect also boarded, and the Spirit Boat soared into the sky, heading straight for Dongshuang City.

The journey from Zhu’s Fairy City to Dongshuang City would take three days.

Lin Bai came to the deck, looking into the distance with a somewhat worried expression.

Jiang Jing approached and asked, "What’s wrong, Junior Brother Dongfang?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "For some reason, I just have this unsettling feeling. It’s rare for me to feel this way... It’s almost as if... Death itself has opened its palm to me, waiting for me to walk right into its grasp."

Jiang Jing said with a laugh, "It’s normal for you to be concerned with your lower level of cultivation, don’t worry. Once we arrive in Dongshuang City, you just stick by my side, and I will ensure your safety."

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "I’m not worried about fighting others."

"What are you worried about then, Junior Brother?" Jiang Jing said with a laugh.

Lin Bai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Brother Jiang Jing, do you think... The rumors we heard in the pub that day could be true? That the Lin Family of the Dongshuang City discovered an Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine, and after unsuccessful negotiations with Zhu Family of Zhu’s Fairy City, they secretly conspired with the Valley of Demons, borrowing the Valley of Demons’ power to annihilate the Lin Family and privately seize the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine?"

Jiang Jing shook his head and said, "I find it unlikely, because the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine is attractive to all the warriors and demon beasts of the Lingnan Continent. If the Zhu Family from Zhu’s Fairy City really did ally with the Valley of Demons to destroy the Lin Family, then the Valley of Demons would surely not give up on the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine!"

"If that’s the case wouldn’t the Zhu Family have to compete with the Valley of Demons? Even though Zhu Lei, the eldest son of the Zhu Family, is Heaven Reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, his family wouldn’t be able to outcompete the Valley of Demons!"

"Moreover, as I said that day, if the Valley of Demons really destroyed the Lin Family of Dongshuang City over the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine, there would be no need to make such a spectacle of slaughtering the city and attracting the experts from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Aren’t they just setting a trap for themselves by doing this?"

"So, I suspect those were just groundless rumors, nothing more than drunken gibberish from a few tavern patrons," said Jiang Jing with a faint smile.

Hearing Jiang Jing’s analysis, Lin Bai still felt unsettled, murmuring to himself, "Perhaps the Zhu Family never told the Valley of Demons about the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine at all, maybe they have some other deal..."

"But what exactly is this deal? It made the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint slaughter the city within Dongshuang City, which is clearly provocative to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. As Brother Jiang Jing said, where would the profit for the Valley of Demons be in doing this?"

"Why would they want to draw the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect over?"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, still filled with doubts that were hard to dispel.

But the unsettling feeling in Lin Bai’s heart wasn’t without reason, as he had walked a path filled with numerous life and death experiences. His sense of danger might be even stronger than Jiang Jing’s!

"Alright, Junior Brother Dongfang Bai, don’t overthink it. Up ahead is Dongshuang City, and it’s time for us to clean up these catastrophe-causing beasts."

Just then, as Jiang Jing and Lin Bai stood on the Spirit Boat gazing out into the distance, they saw a majestic and towering city appear on the horizon.

However, at this moment, the city was emitting a thick stench of blood!

"Dongshuang City has fallen, all disciples prepare for battle!"

Zhao Qing stood on the deck and shouted loudly.

At this moment, all the resting disciples on the Spirit Boat walked out of the cabins onto the deck, looking towards the Dongshuang City, which was already in ruins.

The Spirit Boat approached slowly.

All the Warriors on the Spirit Boat could see corpses nailed to the city walls with long spears, blood trickling down the walls in a harrowing and terrifying sight.

Inside the city, countless buildings collapsed, houses crumbled, and streets were strewn with bloodstains and severed limbs...

This Dongshuang City, once considered a bustling city under the Litian Dynasty, had now turned into Asura Hell, a land littered with skeletons and rivers of blood.

"This... this..."

"These beasts from the Valley of Demons have lost all humanity!"

"Demon Beasts, huh? Today, we shall have our fill of slaughter!"

Many Warriors on the Spirit Boat, upon seeing the dead bodies of Warriors pinned to the walls, were filled with anger.

Roar roar roar—

In Dongshuang City, thunderous roars echoed at this very moment.

Lin Bai and Jiang Jing looked up and saw colossal Demon Beasts pacing back and forth within the city, their roars filled with excitement, and some even had the flesh and blood of Warriors stuck between their teeth...

Zhao Qing and Bao Jun saw this scene and immediately said in a cold voice, "All junior brothers and sisters, it’s time for us to take action!"

"Enter Dongshuang City and slay all the demon beasts from the Valley of Demons!"

"Additionally, if you find any surviving Warriors, rescue them onto the Spirit Boat!"

"The Demon Demolishing Mountain Saint will be dealt with by the three of us."

Zhu Lie, Zhao Qing, and Bao Jun all spoke in unison.

"Yes, sir!"

The mission was to follow the orders of the three Purple Robe Disciples, and now that they had issued their commands, the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect immediately responded.

Then, Zhao Qing, Zhu Lie, and Bao Jun were the first to leap from the Spirit Boat into Dongshuang City.

Their cultivation was extremely strong, their speed swift, and in the blink of an eye, they had plunged into Dongshuang City to search for the trace of the Demon Demolishing Mountain Saint.

"Kill!"

"Slay these monsters!"

After them, numerous White-robed disciples, Red-robed disciples, Blue-robed disciples, and Yellow-robed disciples leaped from the Spirit Boat one after another.

But Lin Bai and Jiang Jing were a step slower.

Jiang Jing said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, stop overthinking it. Killing even one Demon Beast is good, and even a first-level Yin Saint Realm beast can be exchanged for a thousand Contribution Points!"

"Junior Brother Dongfang, follow me, I will protect you."

After speaking, Jiang Jing also leaped into action.

Lin Bai sighed softly, "Perhaps I am overthinking it."

Shaking off his concerns, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with determination, his face expressionless, and with the Demonic Sword in hand, he charged into Dongshuang City.
