The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1475 - 1472: A Sword Splits Ningwu Mountain!

Chapter 1475: Chapter 1472: A Sword Splits Ningwu Mountain!

When Lin Bai and the others arrived at Ningwu Mountain, disciples of the Zhu Clan had secretly informed the Inner Gate Elders, and Gui Jing immediately set out for Ningwu Mountain.

If it had been any other disciple’s notice, perhaps there wouldn’t have been a need for Gui Jing, the master of the Seventh Peak, to take action. But the news came from Ningwu Mountain, and with one careless move, there could possibly be interference from the Junior Sword Venerate, so Gui Jing had no choice but to come see for himself.

But upon arriving, Gui Jing actually saw Dongfang Bai!

Gui Jing swept down from the Cloud Sky above, landing in front of Lin Bai, and with a look of surprise said: "You really are Dongfang Bai! Weren’t you dead?"

Lin Bai, puzzled, asked: "I am dead? Who said I was dead?"

Gui Jing said: "A year ago, after the mission in Dongshuang City, Zhu Lie returned to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and told us that you were ambushed by the Valley of Demons within Dongshuang City. Apart from Zhu Lie who managed to escape relying on the strength of the Zhu Family, none of the warriors who went there survived. All were sacrificed to the claws of the Valley of Demons!"

"Heh!" Upon hearing this, Lin Bai scoffed coldly from the corner of his mouth.

Hearing Lin Bai’s cold laugh, Gui Jing turned his head and looked at each of the disciples surrounding Lin Bai, seeing that they were all Inner Disciples from the mission in Dongshuang City.

After the incident in Dongshuang City, Gui Jing, under the command of the Sword Venerable of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, began to investigate the matter, so he was extremely familiar with all the warriors who participated in the Dongshuang City mission!

In one glance, Gui Jing could see that Nie Xiong, Jing Shu, Zhuolian Luoxuan, and others were indeed Inner Disciples who participated in the Dongshuang City mission!

"What’s going on here? None of you died?" Gui Jing said, completely confused.

"It’s a long story." Lin Bai said with an expression full of coldness.

Gui Jing’s eyes flickered, and he said: "This is not the place to talk. Let’s find another place to have a good talk."

"Let’s go."

Gui Jing said.

"Wait a moment, Elder Gui Jing!" Lin Bai said.

Gui Jing looked on doubtfully, not understanding what he was up to!

Lin Bai turned slightly, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, he opened his Storage Bag, and the Demonic Sword fell into Lin Bai’s hand, a vast Sword Might emanating from his body!

Immediately, Lin Bai raised his sword and furiously slashed down!

With one strike, he split Ningwu Mountain in two, the Sword Marks filled with Sword Intention that would not dissipate for ten thousand years!

As the sword fell, the sky darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light, as if it were the end of the world, causing all the Zhu Clan disciples within Ningwu Mountain to panic, shivering in terror!

Upon seeing this sword strike splits Ningwu Mountain apart, Gu Ziyun’s Eyes went wide in shock, knowing full well that had he Taken Action just now, this one strike could have taken his life!

After cleaving Ningwu Mountain with one sword, Lin Bai’s eyes turned to Gu Ziyun: "After Zhu Lie returns, tell him that Dongfang Bai has come back, and let him find a treasured Feng Shui site, and wait for his death!"

Having said that, Lin Bai led all the disciples away from Ningwu Mountain.

Before leaving, Nie Xiong said to Gu Ziyun: "Gu Ziyun, remember the words of Senior Brother Dongfang, you must tell Zhu Lie, and by the way, tell him, not only has Dongfang Bai returned, but there are also other disciples... The Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain will come to settle accounts with him!"

Gu Ziyun exclaimed in terror: "The Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain!"

Gui Jing’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ningwu Mountain, which had been split by Lin Bai’s sword, feeling a chill in his heart, and said lightly: "Dongfang Bai’s Cultivation of Sword Intention has actually reached such a level!"

"The Demonic Sword actually has developed cracks, wondering what Dongfang Bai and the others have truly gone through!"

Gui Jing watched as the seventy-two Inner Disciples left, his gaze profound.

...

At Little Spirit Stream, the place was originally Jiang Jing’s residence. Later, when Lin Bai came to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and temporarily had no place to stay, Jiang Jing let Lin Bai stay at Little Spirit Stream.

The seventy-two Sword Cultivators arrived at Little Spirit Stream and took a moment to rest.

Gui Jing followed afterwards.

When Lin Bai entered the bamboo house, he happened to see Lin Bai place the Corpse, which he had been carrying on his back all the time, onto the bed. The fresh blood on his Corpse had already dried up, and the fist-sized blood hole in his chest was shocking to behold.

"Jiang Jing, one of the disciples who participated in the Inner Gate mission at Dongshuang City!" Gui Jing saw the corpse on the bed and spoke indifferently.

Lin Bai gave a faint smile, noncommittal.

Gui Jing said with a cold face, "Dongfang Bai, what exactly happened in Dongshuang City! Why is it that after Zhu Lie came back, he told us you all had died!"

"To investigate this matter, even the Sword Venerator who had been in seclusion for many years came out and mobilized the disciples of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to fight with the Litian Dynasty and the Valley of Demons for over a year!"

"And we have also assembled elite experts to probe this matter, yet not a single trace was found!"

"What exactly happened in Dongshuang City!"

"Of the more than ten thousand disciples who went to Dongshuang City, how many are still alive?"

Gui Jing stared at Lin Bai, spilling out all the questions in his heart!

When Lin Bai heard Gui Jing’s questions, he said lightly, "None, only seventy-two of us returned. The rest all died in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"What! The Hanhai Demon Kingdom?" Gui Jing asked in shock, "What exactly is going on?"

Lin Bai looked up at Gui Jing, his eyes grim, "Zhu Lie and the Zhu Family were secretly colluding with the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint of the Valley of Demons, luring us to Dongshuang City!"

"Indeed, the Valley of Demons had ambushes set up in Dongshuang City, but in reality, it was a scheme orchestrated by Zhu Lie and the Zhu Family!"

"We were captured alive by the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, forced to take Elixir Pills, and by the time we woke up, we had already been sold to the White Snake Clan of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"Warriors above the fifth level of the Yin Saint Realm were sent into the Reincarnation Arena! This included Senior Brother Xiang Yun, Senior Brother Zhao Qing, and others!"

Lin Bai spoke slowly.

Within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, the only person Lin Bai could trust was Gui Jing!

"Reincarnation Arena! That is known as the graveyard of the strong ones of the Yin Saint Realm! Countless warriors and demon clan powerhouses have died in the Reincarnation Arena!" Gui Jing’s eyes grew cold as he spoke.

The reputation of the Reincarnation Arena was prominent across the Lingnan Continent!

Even though the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect of the Litian Dynasty is separated from the Hanhai Demon Kingdom by numerous Territories, Gui Jing had still heard of the legends regarding the Reincarnation Arena!

"Warriors below the fifth level of the Yin Saint Realm were used as slaves by the White Snake Clan, and after a year, almost all of them died. Only seventy-two of us returned."

"That’s what happened."

Lin Bai sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Gui Jing as he spoke.

When Gui Jing heard Lin Bai’s words, his tone was exceptionally calm, so calm that it seemed as if this matter had nothing to do with him, almost devoid of any emotional fluctuation in his speech.

This was what truly surprised Gui Jing.

Gui Jing thought that after Lin Bai revealed these things, he would urgently demand the Sect to deal with the Zhu Family and Zhu Lie, but Lin Bai did not. After merely telling Gui Jing about it, he made no demands!

After listening, Gui Jing narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "If what you say is true! Then Zhu Lie and the Zhu Family are truly deserving of death!"

Lin Bai said, "The Zhu Family’s collaboration with the Valley of Demons is not the first time. They have been finding powerful warriors within the Litian Dynasty for years and selling them to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom in exchange for Cultivation Resources!"

"Among them, the disciples of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and children of other families are many. It is said that the Lin Family of Dongshuang City discovered this matter and reported it to the Litian Dynasty and Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, yet no punishment was ever given!"

Gui Jing’s eyes squinted slightly as he spoke, "Zhu Lei, the eldest son of the Zhu Family, is the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Any messages sent to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect would naturally be intercepted by the Zhu Clan!"

"The eldest daughter of the Zhu Family happens to be the favorite concubine of the Emperor of the Litian Dynasty. Messages sent to the Litian Dynasty naturally cannot reach the ears of the Emperor!"

"The Zhu Family has covered the sky with one hand!"

Gui Jing took a deep breath and said lightly, "Dongfang Bai, you should rest well for now. I will immediately report this matter to the Sword Venerable. As long as it’s verified, I will certainly give you an explanation!"

Lin Bai said coldly, "Then you’d better hurry up! If it’s too late, Zhu Lie and the Zhu Family might end up dead by my hands first!"

Upon hearing this, Gui Jing turned and left Little Spirit Stream immediately!
