Chapter 1402: Chapter 1399: Hope in a Predicament!

In White Snake Valley, Lin Bai and a large number of Disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect entered. White Robe arranged dwellings for Lin Bai and the others, providing each individual with a small Cave Mansion to settle down in.

Lin Bai entered his Cave Mansion and observed that it was only about twenty square meters in size, barely large enough for a bed and a desk, leaving no room for additional belongings.

Lin Bai sat down, his eyes grew heavy as he began to contemplate deeply.

The events of the past few days had caught Lin Bai somewhat off guard!

"Now, let’s sort out what exactly happened here."

"The monster hunting mission in Dongshuang City was a trap set by the Zhu Family and Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, aiming to lure the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect here to be sold to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"So, does this hunting mission still count?"

Lin Bai took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Bag and looked at the monster hunting mission inscribed on it, saying, "It still counts! According to this Jade Slip, warriors accompanying the mission can earn Ten Thousand Contribution Points, so if I return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and submit this Jade Slip, I can obtain Ten Thousand Contribution Points!"

"Additionally, slaying Demon Beasts also rewards Contribution Points!"

"And this place being the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, there are numerous Demon Beasts, especially those above the Yin Saint Realm, they are as common as hairs on an ox!"

"If I can manage to kill a large number of Demon Beasts here and return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, my Contribution Points will reach an immeasurable level, perhaps even allowing me to leap directly from being a White-robed Disciple to a Purple Robe Disciple!"

Lin Bai pondered slowly in his heart.

Lin Bai clenched the Jade Slip, resolutely stating.

After a while, a glint of murderous intent appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes as he spoke, "Although this place is not where I chose to come, since I am here, I must find a way to leave!"

"But in such a difficult situation, how can I find a situation that is advantageous to me?"

"In the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, what can I gain here?"

Lin Bai pondered to this point, his eyes slightly narrowed, and gradually a sinister smile appeared on his lips, "Demon Blood, I can obtain a lot of Demon Blood here..."

"For others, this place might be a forbidden area for warriors, but for me, it might prove to be a huge opportunity!"

"In this Lingnan Continent, perhaps there is nowhere else where the Demon Beasts are more numerous than in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"Slaying Demon Beasts, collecting Demon Blood, enhancing my cultivation!"

"The corpses of Demon Beasts can be taken back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and exchanged for Contribution Points using the Jade Slip task!"

"This is a win-win situation! For me, this could be a huge fortune!"

"Coming to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, may not be altogether a bad thing for me!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, clearly analyzing the pros and cons.

A true Strong One ought to find a glimpse of hope even in desperate situations!

A true Strong One, even if they know that death is almost certain, should still fight desperately!

A true Strong One is capable of turning the tide!

A true Strong One, no matter what the circumstances are, should never easily give up!

"The only limitation now, is how to get back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect from the Hanhai Dynasty!"

"I need to figure out a way to get back."

Lin Bai came to this realization.

Monster Tribe Territory, after all, is not the domain of human warriors, and even though Lin Bai thrived here, a human cannot live with Demon Beasts forever!

Half a day later, Lin Bai left his Cave Mansion to find White Robe.

Bai Zhan was the commander of the White Snake Battle Camp, and he had stayed in this place for quite a long time.

Lin Bai arrived at Bai Zhan’s cave mansion and clasped his fists, saying, "Senior Bai Zhan, Junior Dongfang Bai requests an audience!"

The cave mansion opened, and Bai Zhan, with a chuckle, said, "Ha ha, you disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, must you come one by one? Come in, there are also other disciples of yours here."

Upon entering the cave mansion, Lin Bai saw Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian, as well as a few other disciples.

Jing Shu, seeing Lin Bai arrive, immediately laughed and said, "It seems that even you, the Successor of the Demonic Sword, cannot bear to be a servant of the White Snake Clan here!"

Lin Bai laughed and said, "Senior Sister Jing Shu, Senior Brother Zhuo Lian."

Zhuo Lian laughed and said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, come and sit, we’ve only just arrived ourselves."

After Lin Bai sat down, Bai Zhan laughed and said, "So you are the one they called Dongfang Bai? One of the monstrous geniuses of the Lingnan Continent? Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."

"Have you come here to ask how you might escape?"

Bai Zhan asked, smiling.

Lin Bai was startled and immediately looked at Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian.

Both of them had meaningful smiles on their faces.

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Indeed, residing under others is not what I desire!"

Bai Zhan shook his head and said, "I understand your intentions. Many warriors who have just arrived in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom want to escape and return to the dynasties of the Human Clan, but over the years, there have hardly been any warriors who have managed to escape and return to the Human Clan dynasties."

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Why is that?"

Bai Zhan explained, "The Hanhai Demon Kingdom cannot be compared to the dynasties of the Human Clan!"

"In the Demon Clan, the concept of territory is very strong. Even strong warriors from the Demon Clan, if they suddenly step into the territory of another Demon Clan, will spark a bloodbath, let alone warriors?"

"Let me put it this way, the Territories of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom are now completely dominated by various Demon Clans, each ruling over their lands like kings."

"If we were to leave the Yunxi Mountain Range and lose the protection of the White Snake Clan, we would definitely enter the territory of another Demon Clan within three days, and we would then face an annihilation!"

"The Demon Clan has no tolerance for warriors at all. Once the Demon Clan in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom discovers the traces of the Human Clan, they will immediately kill them!"

"That is also why, over so many years, no warriors have ever managed to walk out of the Haihan Demon Country alive; because as soon as you leave the territory of one Demon Clan, you enter into another!"

Hearing Bai Zhan’s words, Lin Bai’s expression slightly darkened, and he asked, "Then Senior Bai Zhan, haven’t you ever thought of leaving? Having stayed here for so many years, is there really no other way?"

Bai Zhan lightly laughed and said, "Unless you have the cultivation of the Yangshen Realm, it is difficult for strong ones of the Yin Saint Realm to leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"To cultivate to the Yangshen Realm, is that the only way to carve a bloody path out of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom and return to the Human Clan Territories?" Hearing Bai Zhan’s words, Lin Bai’s heart instantly grew resolute, secretly making up his mind.

Despite the myriad of dangers, Lin Bai had to make it out of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom and return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

"It’s also good to cultivate in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom; my Devouring Sword Spirit can operate at maximum efficiency, as this place is certainly not lacking in Demon Beasts and Demon Blood!"

A cold smile surfaced at the bottom of Lin Bai’s heart.

"And now, in the Litian Dynasty, Yejian Jun’s cultivation is probably almost at the Yangshen level; this place might just be my shortcut to catch up to him!"

"Perhaps, being forced to come to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom will become a blessing, a chance to catch up with the Six Freaks of Lingnan!"

Lin Bai became even more resolute in his heart.

"Is it just the Yangshen Realm? Give me enough demon blood, and I would easily break through to the Yangshen Realm, then I would possess the strength to return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

Thinking of this, Lin Bai became even more enlightened!
