The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1484 - 1481: Sword Master!

Chapter 1484: Chapter 1481: Sword Master!

As the battle in Decisive Life Valley escalated to a fever pitch, even the high-ranking members of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect couldn’t help but come to observe the fight!

The middle-aged man in a loose black robe let out a slight chuckle, "Not bad, these disciples are indeed quite remarkable."

Behind this middle-aged man, an old man in white robe said with a light smile, "Sword Master, all these disciples are the trusted followers of Young Sword Master Zhu Lei, nurtured by the Zhu family. Naturally, each one of them is a dragon among men."

The Sword Master chuckled lightly, "What I mean is that those seventy or so disciples in purple robes are commendable. As for those of the Zhu family...heh, a bunch of weaklings, at best. They can bully the weak, but if they face a true strong one, it’s undoubtedly a death sentence."

"Uh..." The old man in the white robe felt rather awkward. Initially, he thought Sword Master was praising the warriors of the Zhu family, only to realize that Sword Master was actually commending the seventy-two sword cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain!

This old man in white robe also had an extraordinary background; he was an elder aligned with Zhu Lei’s faction, named Mizuka, the Peak Master of the Ninth Peak of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. It’s no exaggeration to say that Zhu Lei’s position as Young Sword Master was largely due to his support!

Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has seventy-two peaks! The peak masters of these seventy-two peaks are all high-level practitioners in the Yangshen Realm, and the closer to the leading peaks, the stronger the peak master’s strength is.

Gui Jing is the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak!

Mizuka is the Peak Master of the Ninth Peak!

After watching for a while, the Sword Master asked, "Gui Jing, have you gotten results from the investigation?"

Gui Jing stepped forward and replied in a low voice, "Reporting to Sword Master, we’ve indeed gotten some leads. Through Tianbao Tower, I’ve retrieved some information regarding the Hanhai Demon Kingdom. I was supposed to report today, but then this situation at Decisive Life Valley arose."

The Sword Master asked, "Then let’s hear it now."

"Yes." Gui Jing responded, "According to the information given to me by Tianbao Tower, over the past year, there indeed were disciples from Heaven-reaching Sword Sect spotted in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, and not just one."

"Secret agents from Tianbao Tower uncovered that a year ago, a large number of disciples from Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were sold to the White Snake Clan, and warriors above the fifth level of the Yin Saint Realm were sent by the White Snake Clan to fight to the death in the Reincarnation Arena!"

"Warriors below the fifth level of the Yin Saint Realm were used by the White Snake Clan as slaves and cannon fodder."

"Over a year’s time, most warriors have perished in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, either dying in the Reincarnation Arena or at the hands of the White Snake Clan!"

Gui Jing calmly relayed the information he had obtained from inside Tianbao Tower to Sword Master.

Mizuka, upon hearing Gui Jing’s words, had a look of solemnity and seriousness on his old face, standing silently to the side.

The shameful dealings of the Zhu Family and the Valley of Demons were all too clear to Mizuka, who had benefited significantly from them, otherwise, he would not have been appointed as the Peak Master of the Ninth Peak!

With a grim expression, Sword Master asked, "Can this be confirmed? That the warriors sold to the White Snake Clan a year ago were the ones sent on the mission to Dongshuang City?"

Gui Jing replied, "I can almost confirm it."

At this point, Mizuka interjected, "Peak Master Gui Jing, do you have any evidence?"

Gui Jing glanced at Mizuka and said, "I indeed don’t have substantive evidence that the over ten thousand warriors are the same ones who went on the mission to Dongshuang City a year ago."

"But I do have circumstantial evidence that can prove it!"

Gui Jing explained slowly.

"Circumstantial evidence?" Mizuka, originally relieved by the lack of evidence, tensed up again upon hearing about circumstantial evidence.

The Sword Master said, "Let’s hear it."

"Yes." Gui Jing responded, "Sword Master, as I mentioned earlier, warriors above the fifth level of the Yin Saint Realm were all sent by the White Snake Clan into the Reincarnation Arena."

"Yet not long after, all of them were dead."

"Later on, the White Snake Clan sent another human clan warrior into the Reincarnation Arena!"

"This person exhibited a Sword Skill that reached the heavens and was unparalleled in Sword Art. Upon entering the Reincarnation Arena, it took less than ten battles for the powerhouses of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom to bestow upon him the title of ’Sword Demon.’"

"And then, this warrior known as the Sword Demon, within a mere half a year’s time, had garnered nine hundred and ninety-nine victories, challenging the Battle of Thousand Victories!"

"In the final Battle of Thousand Victories, he consecutively defeated the twelve emissaries of the Reincarnation Arena, becoming the first warrior from the Reincarnation Arena to emerge alive since its establishment!"

Sword Venerable and Mizuka, as well as a few other high-ranking members of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, upon hearing Gui Jing mention the Reincarnation Arena, the twelve emissaries, nine hundred and ninety-nine victories, and other such terms, had a frost appear in their eyes.

Though they had never been to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, they had long heard of the bloodthirsty combat within the Reincarnation Arena.

Especially the curse of the Reincarnation Arena, which proclaimed that no one could achieve a thousand victories, and nobody could leave the Reincarnation Arena alive, had made the entire Lingnan Continent tremble with fear!

Sword Venerable and Mizuka’s faces inevitably hardened.

Gui Jing said: "Sect Leader Sword Venerable, I have learned from Tianbao Tower the name of this King of Thousand Victories from the Reincarnation Arena..."

Mizuka anxiously asked: "Who is he?"

Sword Venerable’s face tensed, his eyes holding a sense of anticipation as he looked at Gui Jing.

Gui Jing spoke solemnly: "Tianbao Tower says, this individual is an Inner Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, one of the nine monstrous geniuses of the Lingnan Continent... His name is, Dongfang Bai!"

Buzz buzz—

When Gui Jing reached this point in his explanation.

Mizuka and Sword Venerable’s gaze couldn’t help but shift towards that man standing on the precipice within Decisive Life Valley, wearing the purple disciple’s robe of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, who had not yet made a move!

Just as Mizuka and Sword Venerable cast their eyes on him, he turned his head slightly, his gaze sharp as a sword piercing through the clouds, locking eyes with Sword Venerable for a moment!

Sword Venerable gazed at Lin Bai, Lin Bai casually glanced towards the clouds to the southeast, then redirected his attention back to the valley in Decisive Life Valley.

Gui Jing continued: "Afterwards, Dongfang Bai achieved victory in the Battle of Thousand Victories, and the Demon Emperor of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom together with the Eight Great Monster Clans offered a feast attempting to keep him in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"Even if they couldn’t detain him, they wouldn’t let him leave the Imperial Capital alive!"

"Half a month ago, within the Imperial Capital of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, Sword Demon Dongfang Bai joined forces with more than seventy sword cultivators, fiercely tearing open a crack from within the Imperial Capital of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, carving a bloody path out!"

"During the fierce battle, six Yangshen Realm strong ones made their move, and among them was Bai Linghu, known as the strongest below the Yangshen Realm of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, with covetous eyes!"

"But even in such desperate straits, Sword Demon Dongfang Bai forcibly slew two Yangshen Realm strong ones, forging a blood-soaked trail, charging out of the Imperial Capital of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

As Gui Jing spoke to this point, a trace of coldness flashed across his face, even he couldn’t believe the rumors about Lin Bai slaying strong ones of the Yangshen Realm!

"Slaying two Yangshen strong ones?" Mizuka’s eyes widened as he said: "Gui Jing, you’re not joking, are you? Look at that Dongfang Bai, he’s merely at the ninth level of the Yin Saint Realm, how could he possibly slay Yangshen strong ones?"

"Are you here to amuse me and Sect Leader Sword Venerable?"

Mizuka, unwilling to accept this reality, immediately spoke up.

Gui Jing said: "Sect Leader Sword Venerable, every word I have spoken comes from Tianbao Tower; here is the jade slip provided by Tianbao Tower, please Sect Leader Sword Venerable, have a look!"

During the conversation, Gui Jing handed over the jade slip he received from Tianbao Tower to Sword Venerable.

Sword Venerable glanced at the jade slip in Gui Jing’s hands, didn’t make a move to take it, instead, Mizuka, somewhat impatient, several times seemed eager to rush up and snatch the jade slip for a closer look!

"Mizuka, you seem to be in quite a hurry? Then go ahead and take a look," Sword Venerable said with a light smile.

"Hehe..." Mizuka laughed awkwardly: "Since Sect Leader Sword Venerable has ordered it, then I’ll read on behalf of Sword Venerable!"

Mizuka took the jade slip from Gui Jing, pressed it to his brow to look, and his face turned suddenly ashen, looking completely flustered, as if he had seen a ghost...

Seeing Mizuka’s reaction, Sword Venerable didn’t need to look at the content within the jade slip to know that Gui Jing had spoken the truth!
