Chapter 1406: Chapter 1403: Hanhai Demon Kingdom! You’ve Brought a Wolf Into the House! (5 Updates)

Lin Bai stood within the belly of the mountain, gazing at the Spirit Awakening Grass for a long time.

Zhuo Lian said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, what do we do now?"

Lin Bai chuckled, "We cultivate, and then wait for the Demon Clan to come and snatch the Spirit Awakening Grass!"

"What! Wait for them to snatch it?" Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian exclaimed with horrified faces.

Lin Bai smiled, "Let’s go. We should check on the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect disciples who haven’t left yet. It’s about time to give them a dose of reassurance."

Accompanied by Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu, Lin Bai walked out of the mountain’s belly.

At this moment, outside the mountain cave, more than seventy disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect who had stayed behind looked lost and dazed. In this foreign land, they had no idea how to survive.

Lin Bai, Jing Shu, and Zhuo Lian emerged, observing the faces of the disciples, their expressions filled with bewilderment.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, "My dear Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, please hear me out. Since you’ve chosen not to leave with Lu Kang, now it’s time to guard the mountain cave properly."

"This is not the time for us to be disheartened. We should earnestly cultivate and enhance our Cultivation so that we can find a way to leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom and return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!" Lin Bai continued, speaking calmly.

But his words didn’t seem to capture the attention of the disciples.

Even when some disciples heard his words, they scoffed dismissively, "There’s no going back. This is the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, far away from the Litian Dynasty with insurmountable distances. With our limited strength, not to mention returning to the Litian Dynasty, it would be hard even to leave this Monster Tribe Territory!"

Hearing the disciple’s words, Lin Bai replied indifferently, "As long as you do as I say, once I’m fully prepared, I will take you all back to the Litian Dynasty!"

Crack—

At Lin Bai’s words, the majority of the disciples, whose faces were filled with confusion, suddenly snapped to attention, looking at Lin Bai with surprise and asking,

"Junior Brother Dongfang, what did you say?"

"You have a way to take us back?"

"What’s going on?"

The disciples asked eagerly, as if grasping at a lifeline.

"As long as someone breaks through to the Yangshen Realm, one could carve a bloody path out from this place and return to the Litian Dynasty," said Lin Bai.

"Perhaps having the strength of the Yangshen Realm would suffice as well," Lin Bai remarked to the disciple.

Hearing Lin Bai’s method, everyone was collectively disappointed. The disciple then said, "Heh, the Yangshen Realm, how many warriors here can break through to the Yangshen Realm? How many could possess the battle prowess of the Yangshen Realm?"

Lin Bai said firmly, "I can! As long as you follow my instructions, within half a year’s time, I will definitely possess the strength of the Yangshen Realm!"

"Then, I will lead you all back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, to settle accounts with Zhu Lie, to settle accounts with the Zhu Family, to settle accounts with the Valley of Demons!"

"Don’t you hate them? Don’t you want revenge?" Lin Bai asked.

"Hate! How could we not hate! If it weren’t for them, how would we ever find ourselves in such a dire state, like fish on a chopping block?" This disciple’s face was flushed with anger when he heard Lin Bai mention Zhu Lie, the Zhu Family, and the Valley of Demons!

The rest of the disciples also appeared enraged.

But the disciple spoke again, "But why should we believe you?"

Lin Bai affirmed, "Because I, Dongfang Bai, am a Monstrous Genius as rated by Tianbao Tower, and I am the master of the Demonic Sword!"

"Is that enough?" Lin Bai said, staring at the disciple, his words resolute.

This disciple was rendered speechless by Lin Bai’s statement!

Because I am a Monstrous Genius as rated by Tianbao Tower!

Because I am the master of one of the Five Swords of Gods, Demons, Monsters, Immortals, and Ghosts from the Lingnan Continent!

In his heart, the disciple knew this was enough!

Whether a Monstrous Genius or the master of the Demonic Sword, any one of these titles alone could crush a slew of talents in Lingnan!

Now, Zhuo Lian spoke up, "Senior Brother Nie Xiong, I believe Junior Brother Dongfang can do it!"

Jing Shu also said, "My dear Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, I too believe Junior Brother Dongfang can do it!"

"If even a monstrous talent like him can’t escape the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, then how could we, the ordinary disciples, possibly escape with our own strength?" Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian both shook their heads and sighed.

"Yeah! If a monstrous talent can’t escape, then how could we possibly escape!"

"The master of the Demonic Sword! That’s astonishing."

"I think following Dongfang Bai is more reliable than following Lu Kang! Dongfang Bai is, after all, a monstrous genius and the master of the Demonic Sword!"

"Junior Brother Dongfang, I believe in you, whatever you ask me to do, I will follow your lead!"

"Junior Brother Dongfang, I also believe you. From this moment on, I will follow your commands without resistance!"

"Junior Brother Dongfang, tell us, what should we do?"

One by one, the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were excitedly speaking up.

Without a doubt, Lin Bai’s words had given these disciples a hope, a hope of living to return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

Lin Bai nodded in satisfaction and looked towards Nie Xiong, asking, "What about you, Senior Brother Nie Xiong?"

Nie Xiong, a Warrior at the fourth level of the Yin Saint Realm, was the most highly cultivated among the disciples here!

Nie Xiong’s expression fluctuated, and after pondering for a long time, he sighed helplessly, "Yes, if even you, a monstrous genius, can’t escape, then how could we possibly escape?"

"Junior Brother Dongfang, I am willing to commit my life to your command!"

Nie Xiong bowed to Lin Bai, choosing to trust him.

"Good, including myself, there are seventy-two Warriors here. I, Dongfang Bai, swear that if I have the ability, I will ensure that all of you return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"We shall seek out our common enemy for retribution!"

"We shall make Zhu Lie pay!"

"We shall make the Zhu Family pay!"

"We shall make the Valley of Demons pay!"

"Let them know what the consequences of angering us are!"

Lin Bai roared with a face full of inspiration, his voice filled with fury!

Every Sword Cultivator here clenched their fists; in their eyes, Lin Bai saw hate for Zhu Lie, hate for the Zhu Family, hate for the Valley of Demons.

Lin Bai said, "But right now we need to first enhance our strength and find a way to leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"Now, I want you to put aside the hatred and rage in your hearts, display your abilities to the fullest, and improve your Cultivation! Enhance your techniques, so that we may have the life to return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect alive!"

Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu, stirred by Lin Bai’s words, said excitedly, "Junior Brother Dongfang, whatever you want us to do, just tell us!"

Nie Xiong also said, "Yes, what do we need to do?"

Lin Bai spoke, "There are ten hours left until sundown. I want you to take control of all the mountain ranges within thousands of miles around Fairy Cave Mountain!"

"Once any Demon Beast steps within thousands of miles, it should be detected by you!"

"I want to turn this area within thousands of miles into a slaughterhouse for the Demon Clan!"

"I want all the Demon Beasts that step into this zone within thousands of miles to die by my sword!"

Lin Bai stated calmly.

As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, all the Warriors here furrowed their brows, trying to figure out how to control the area within thousands of miles.

"That’s easy. Although I am a Sword Cultivator, I occasionally enjoy delving into the art of Magic Circles. In the past, when I gained experience in the wild, I would set up Magic Circles around my dwelling in the deep mountains. Once a Demon Beast entered, I would be alerted," Jing Shu said lightly.

"I can lay down a Magic Circle, but to encompass thousands of miles, I’ll need some materials and a lot of manpower to assist me," Jing Shu added.

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiong immediately said, "Junior Sister Jing Shu, I can cooperate with you!"

"I can as well!"

"Senior Sister Jing Shu, how do you want to proceed? Just arrange it!"

Zhuo Lian said, "We can set up several Warrior outposts, hidden in the shadows to monitor every movement in the mountain range, in case any Demon Beast slips past the Magic Circle!"

As soon as Zhuo Lian finished speaking, another Disciple said, "Senior Brother Zhuo Lian, I can serve in that capacity. My Martial Soul is the art of concealment. I may not match you in Sword Skills, but if I want to hide, you probably won’t find me!"

"I can too. My Martial Soul is of the speed type. Even if a Demon Beast discovers me, I would be able to escape in time!"

"My movement technique is an incredibly lethal technique..."

"Before I joined the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, I was an Assassin, proficient in the arts of concealment and assassination!"

"..."

These Warriors one after another voiced their strengths!

Lin Bai said excitedly, "Good, show your Divine Powers! No matter what method you use, I want to be in control of every single movement within thousands of miles!"

"Also, if you find a Demon Beast you can kill, take it down directly, and then bring the corpse here to me. Remember to keep the Demon Blood safe!"

Zhuo Lian immediately followed Lin Bai’s words, "If there’s a Demon Beast we cannot kill, use a Sound Transmission Talisman to notify us!"

Nie Xiong said, "That’s right, I have the highest Cultivation here. If any Junior Brother encounters a troublesome Demon Beast, just transmit a message to me, and I will immediately come to assist!"

"Right!" A group of Disciples nodded excitedly, sweeping away their previous feelings of loss and hopeless confusion.

Lin Bai smiled lightly and said, "Brothers and Juniors, do not view this place as a dilemma, but as a test arranged by our Sect. Show off your abilities and techniques without hesitation!"

"Okay!" The group of Warriors responded with spirited fervor.

Immediately, Jing Shu led people to set up the Magic Circle, while Zhuo Lian took those skilled in concealment to install the outposts.

And Lin Bai, standing in front of the mountain cave, gazed far at the distant Hanhai Demon Kingdom, where a layer of dark clouds gathered on the Cloud Top.

Lin Bai sneered, "Hanhai Demon Kingdom, it seems you’ve brought a wolf into your midst!"

"As long as I, Lin Bai, remain here, your Hanhai Demon Kingdom shall not know a day of peace!"

"Some say that wherever I go, corpses will litter the ground. I used to think that was a sad state of affairs, but now, it seems it might be a good thing!"

You can go back and check yesterday’s five Chapters.

Of course, it’s just a minor change that will not affect the subsequent plot.

Here’s a special note to explain.
