The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1464 - 1461: The Origin of Jiang Jing!

Chapter 1464: Chapter 1461: The Origin of Jiang Jing!

Bai Ling is known as the strongest under the Yangshen Realm in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom. His cultivation is extremely profound, and he is now considered the most powerful king among the younger generation, as well as the future successor of the White Snake Clan.

Lin Bai gave a slight smile but did not answer.

Bai Ling said with a light laugh, "Brother Dongfang, my father has sent me to tell you that whatever the Sky Eagle Demon Clan can offer you, our White Snake Clan will double!"

"Lord White Emperor?" Upon hearing this, Lin Bai looked towards Lord White Emperor’s seat.

As Lin Bai looked at the White Emperor, the latter also slightly raised his wine glass with a smile towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Thanks to the White Snake Clan, but I was not intending to rush into a decision on this matter. May I have some time to think it over?"

Bai Ling smiled, "Sure, take your time, no need to rush."

"Brother Dongfang, speaking of which, you and our White Snake Clan do have a destiny. I recall that Brother Jiang Jing from the Jiang Jing Clan is your Senior Brother within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. If you come to our White Snake Clan, you can look out for each other."

"What do you say, Brother Jiang Jing?"

Bai Ling looked at Jiang Jing with a light laugh.

Jiang Jing gave a slight smile but did not speak.

Lin Bai glanced at Jiang Jing, a trace of confusion in his eyes. Up to now, he still hadn’t figured out what exactly was Jiang Jing’s origin?

Could it be that Jiang Jing was truly a spy arranged by the Demon Clan within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?

Bai Ling said with a chuckle, "It seems that with me here, it is inconvenient for you brothers to talk. I will not disturb you further."

Having said that, Bai Ling took his wine glass and left, "Brother Dongfang, you might consider the conditions of our White Snake Clan. Whatever price the other seven Great Monster Clans and the Demon Emperor offer, our White Snake Clan will double."

Bai Ling turned and left with a light chuckle.

Jiang Jing watched Bai Ling leave and then slowly approached Lin Bai, saying, "Are you planning to stay, or leave?"

Lin Bai looked at Jiang Jing, took a sip of wine, and remained silent.

"The Hanhai Demon Kingdom is not a good place," Jiang Jing added.

Lin Bai remained silent.

Jiang Jing gave a bitter smile and said, "Dongfang Bai, I know what you’re thinking. Are you suspecting me of being a spy for the Demon Clan?"

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "Am I wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing could only smile helplessly, "If we’re talking about blood relations, I indeed count as a member of the White Snake Clan, but only half."

"Half?" Lin Bai asked, puzzled.

Jiang Jing sighed, "Yes, my father was a warrior sold to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom by the Valley of Demons, just like you. Because of his exceptional talents, he quickly gained the favor of the White Snake Clan and met my mother."

"The two fell in love, and my mother desperately wanted my father to stay with the White Snake Clan. However, my father was determined to return to the Territories of the Human Clan!"

"In the end, my mother was unable to persuade my father, and she left the White Snake Clan with him. But before they could escape the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, they were caught by the members of the White Snake Clan."

"At that time, I was only seven years old."

"The White Snake Clan executed my parents as a warning to others but spared me."

"I grew up within the White Snake Clan till I was fifteen. Using the information left by my father, I found the way to the Human Clan’s dynasty and pretended to submit to the White Snake Clan. Using the convenience of my White Snake Clan’s identity, I secretly left the Hanhai Demon Kingdom."

"I only learned why my father was determined to return once I reached the Human Clan’s dynasty."

"Afterwards, I joined the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and it was not until I met you that I undertook that mission."

Jiang Jing sat beside Lin Bai with a dejected face, sadness in his eyes.

Lin Bai, upon hearing Jiang Jing disclose these matters, also appeared slightly startled.

Jiang Jing said, "I know you might not believe me when I tell you this now, but..."

Lin Bai said, "I believe."

Jiang Jing stared at Lin Bai in astonishment; he had thought Lin Bai wouldn’t believe what he said, but Lin Bai did believe him.

Lin Bai said, "I believe Brother Jiang Jing is a good person, but also because in my life, I don’t have many friends. If I choose not to trust you now, then I would have one less friend."

Lin Bai spoke calmly, taking a sip of his drink.

I don’t have many friends in my life; if I don’t trust you, then I lose one more friend! Jiang Jing heard these words, and warmth slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Children born from the union of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan are called Half-Demons!

On the Lingnan Continent today, the status of Half-Demons is extremely low; the Human Clan looks down on Half-Demons, believing that the union between humans and demons is a grave sin; the Demon Clan also despises Half-Demons, feeling that human blood has tainted their noble demon lineage.

Being acknowledged by someone is a very difficult thing to achieve.

"Thank you," Jiang Jing said gratefully.

Lin Bai gave a slight smile, lifted his cup, and clinked glasses with Jiang Jing.

In a low voice, Jiang Jing said, "Tonight, the Eight Great Monster Clans and the Demon Emperor will certainly try every method to win you over, but you must neither refuse nor accept."

"If you refuse, the Eight Great Monster Clans and the Demon Emperor will definitely not let you leave alive!"

"But don’t agree to them either. Once you accept any one faction’s offer, the other powers will secretly kill you."

Jiang Jing warned.

"I understand, but I have no other choice right now. The Demon Emperor’s people have placed me under house arrest, and wherever I go, I am under surveillance," Lin Bai said in a low voice.

Jiang Jing said, "Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way! Also, I’ll make sure that Fairy Cave Mountain is ready."

Lin Bai looked at Jiang Jing in surprise.

In a soft voice, Jiang Jing said, "Not long ago, I found an opportunity to send some of the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect out of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, but unfortunately, when I went to find Nie Xiong Zhuolian, the Battle of Thousand Victories began. When I learned that the Sword Demon was you, I postponed the plan."

"Don’t worry, the disciples from Fairy Cave Mountain have already reached the Imperial Capital."

"Just hold off the Eight Great Monster Clans and the Demon Emperor, and I’ll find a way to get you out!"

Jiang Jing’s face was solemn as he spoke quietly.

"Brother Jiang Jing..." Lin Bai didn’t expect Jiang Jing to really be scheming to help the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect leave.

Jiang Jing chuckled and said, "Didn’t I promise you in Dongshuang City? Don’t be hasty; I’ll find a way to get you back to the Human Clan Dynasty. Although it might take some time, it’s still better than never being able to return."

Gratitude appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes as he said, "What should I do?"

Jiang Jing whispered, "Hold off the Eight Great Monster Clans and the Demon Emperor. Don’t agree to them, and don’t refuse them. Keep them dangling. In five days, during the deep of night, take care of the Dark Child within Sword Washing Manor. We’ll take care of the ones outside the manor. We’ll be on the streets to meet you!"

"Once you leave the Imperial Capital, I’ll find a way to send you back to the Human Clan Dynasty!"

Jiang Jing said quietly.

"Alright," Lin Bai agreed.

Immediately after, Jiang Jing stood up and left, returning to the side of Lord White Emperor and Bai Ling. The two seemed very curious about what Jiang Jing and Lin Bai had discussed, and Lin Bai didn’t know exactly what Jiang Jing had said. All he knew was that after the conversation, the smiles on the faces of Lord White Emperor and Bai Ling grew even more intense.

During the following night’s banquet, the other Eight Great Monster Clans all came forward in turn, extending sky-high invitations to Lin Bai, but Lin Bai had only one response: "Let me consider it!"
