The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1405 - 1402: Be Careful at Night!

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1402: Be Careful at Night!

Seeing that Warrior also wore a White Snake Bracelet, everyone felt slightly relieved.

Warrior said, "Since that’s the case, we should head back now."

Hearing that Warrior was going back, those three Warriors excitedly climbed onto the Spirit Boat, their faces filled with excitement and joy.

Warrior steered the Spirit Boat to soar into the sky, and the three Warriors said to Lin Bai and the others, "Friends, since this is our first meeting and we have no proper gifts for you, we’d like to give you a word of advice..."

"Be careful at night!"

The three Warriors looked at Lin Bai and the others with pity, then as the Spirit Boat flew away, relief spread across their faces – they were probably thankful that they would never have to come to Fairy Cave Mountain again.

With Warrior’s departure, these hundred-plus disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect started to look around!

"To hell with this, I’m not going to wait here to die!" At that moment, a Warrior shouted coldly, "Those who want to escape, follow me!"

The disciple shouted loudly.

Hearing this, many disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were somewhat tempted.

Even Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu thought about it.

Then, a disciple said, "Senior Brother Lu Kang, even if we want to escape, shouldn’t we first remove these White Snake Bracelets?"

This disciple named Lu Kang looked down, his eyes malevolently fixed on the White Snake Bracelet, his expression showing he might want to forcefully smash the bracelet!

Bang—

Ah—

Just then, a loud bang followed by a scream echoed through the air!

Lin Bai was startled and looked up.

In the distance, a disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect had tried to smash the White Snake Bracelet with brute force but failed. Instead, his flesh instantaneously turned to nothingness, leaving behind a skeleton scattered on the ground!

Seeing the fate of this disciple, many disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect felt a chill in their hearts!

Lu Kang shouted, "Let’s forget about the White Snake Bracelet for now, once we escape the Hanhai Demon Kingdom and return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, we can ask an Elder of the Yangshen Realm to remove it!"

"One more time, who wants to come with me?"

Lu Kang asked.

At this time, many Warriors were persuaded and exclaimed, "Damn it, it’s just death at worst, I still want to control my fate!"

"I’m also coming!"

"Count me in too!"

Among these hundred-plus Warriors, nearly thirty decided to follow Lu Kang!

Lu Kang then looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Dongfang Bai, you are a Monstrous Genius rated by Tianbao Tower, do you really want to wait here to die?"

"You should understand, with your talent as a Monstrous Genius, if you return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, you will definitely be nurtured and surely rise to prominence, becoming a strong person in the Lingnan Continent!"

"Aren’t you leaving?"

Lu Kang continued looking at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai pondered for a moment and replied, "If you all decide to leave, then go ahead. But as fellow brothers of the same sect, I must warn you that the White Snake Clan has been trading with the Valley of Demons for so long, and so many Warriors have come to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom. It’s obvious the White Snake Clan must have encountered escaping Warriors before, but none survived!"

"I advise you to think it over!"

"Of course, if you insist on leaving, I won’t keep you. After all, everyone has their own ambitions."

With that said, Lin Bai walked towards one of the caves on Fairy Cave Mountain. Lin Bai was curious about what the Spirit Awakening Grass actually looked like.

Lin Bai walked into the mountain cave.

Lu Kang watched Lin Bai and disdainfully said, "Pfft, coward. You call yourself a Monstrous Genius? That title is wasted on you. Just wait here to die then. After you die, let’s see if you’re still considered a Monstrous Genius in the underworld!"

As Lu Kang spoke these words, Lin Bai had already entered the cave.

Though Lin Bai heard him, he didn’t respond.

Walking deeper into the cave along the passageway, Lin Bai soon reached the cavern inside.

At that moment, Lin Bai was astonished to find that the belly of Fairy Cave Mountain had been hollowed out by the White Snake Clan, revealing a vast area of flat land!

And in this flat land, there were numerous small, palm-sized plants, dainty and emitting a green glow, looking anything but ordinary.

Lin Bai glanced around and estimated that there were about one hundred thousand Spirit Awakening Grass plants in this area.

After watching for a long time, at this moment, Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu reached the middle of the mountain.

Jing Shu said, "Is this the Spirit Awakening Grass? It looks quite lovely."

Lin Bai chuckled softly, "Has Lu Kang left?"

Zhuo Lian, with a solemn expression on his face, said, "He has left, and took nearly thirty disciples with him, most of whom are around the third level of the Yin Saint Realm."

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Zhuo Lian’s face showed a hint of reluctance, as he hesitated to speak.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhuo Lian, just say whatever you want to say."

Zhuo Lian said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, I think what Lu Kang did was right. Our destiny should be in our own hands, and perhaps if we escape now, there might be a slim chance of survival!"

Jing Shu’s face also turned solemn.

Smiling, Lin Bai asked, "Senior Sister Jing Shu, do you think the same?"

Hearing Lin Bai’s question, Jing Shu laughed and said, "I don’t trust Lu Kang, but I trust Junior Brother Dongfang!"

"But I think what Lu Kang said is correct, destiny should be in our own hands!" Jing Shu stated blandly.

Lin Bai shook his head and asked, "Escape? If you were to escape, where would you go?"

Zhuo Lian replied, "Naturally we would return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, back to the Litian Dynasty!"

Lin Bai asked, "And in which direction is the Litian Dynasty? What about the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?"

"This..." Zhuo Lian was at a loss for words momentarily.

Lin Bai said, "You have neither a map of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom nor a sense of direction, so where can you run? Like headless flies rampaging?"

"Don’t forget, this place isn’t a city-state of the Human Clan; this is the Demon Clan’s territory. On the territory of demons, there is no fairness. Once you step into other demons’ territories, you will be killed instantly!"

"Even with a map in hand, escaping is difficult, let alone for Lu Kang and the others, who don’t even have one. They can only rely on their instincts to move. If they encounter weaker demons, they might live another day; if they encounter stronger ones, they won’t survive a day!"

"This will be their fate after they have left!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flickered with cold light.

Hearing Lin Bai’s analysis, Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian felt a chill down their spine, silently relieved that they had controlled their impulses and not left with Lu Kang.

Zhuo Lian bitterly smiled and said, "I didn’t expect Junior Brother Dongfang to see the situation so clearly."

Lin Bai calmly stated, "It’s not that I see the situation clearly; it’s that you are too naive!"

Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu looked embarrassed.

"Remember what Bai Zhan said: without the cultivation of the Yangshen Realm, it is impossible to leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom! Even if you have the cultivation of the Yangshen Realm, leaving the Hanhai Demon Kingdom is still a perilous endeavor!"

"Bai Zhan mentioned the Yangshen cultivation repeatedly; obviously, he had done his research!"

"Do you really think that Bai Zhan, a warrior of the Human Clan, would willingly be a slave under the White Snake Clan in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom forever?"

"He certainly wouldn’t!"

"And he definitely thought about how to leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"But the method he figured out, the only method, was the cultivation of the Yangshen Realm!"

Lin Bai said indifferently, "That’s also why he repeatedly mentioned the cultivation of the Yangshen Realm!"

As Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian listened to Lin Bai’s words, they suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, if Bai Zhan was indeed a warrior of the Human Clan, why would he willingly confine himself in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom forever, especially since he had already been there for over twenty years without leaving.

Was it that he didn’t want to leave?

No! He was just waiting for an opportunity!

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Bai Zhan arrived here earlier than us, knows more than us, has more information than us! Clearly, he doesn’t trust us, and there are many things he didn’t tell us!"

"This cultivation of the Yangshen Realm, is the only thing he repeatedly mentioned!"

"Because in his heart, he already had the answer: with the Yangshen Realm cultivation, one could carve out a bloody path and return to the Human Clan Dynasty!"
