Chapter 1528: Chapter 1525 Departing for Haizhen City!

Lin Bai casually pointed a finger and sent Gao Rui flying, causing astonishment among the spectators.

Gao Rui got up from the ground, his face warped with urgent frustration, and his eyes blood-red as if he had suffered a tremendous humiliation. He roared: "I actually lost to a Warrior from the Ninth Level of the Yin Saint Realm!"

"Little bastard, I want you dead!"

Gao Rui, shaken with rage, disregarded the rules of the Martial Arts Competition. From a hundred steps away, he charged at Lin Bai, his Sharp Sword emanating a chilling glint, evidently attempting to kill Lin Bai with a single strike.

Watching Gao Rui attack, Lin Bai said coldly, "If you take one more step forward, I will take your life!"

Lin Bai’s voice was extremely icy, putting out the fiery anger in Gao Rui as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him.

Eventually, the enraged Gao Rui stopped ten steps behind Lin Bai, his face colored with indescribable wariness and fear.

Perhaps even Gao Rui himself couldn’t understand why, upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, such intense fear and wariness brewed within him—as if Death itself was glaring at him!

Gao Rui came to a frozen halt.

At that moment, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "That’s enough, Gao Rui, don’t strike anymore. This young brother earns a place."

Lin Bai nodded lightly, "Thank you, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi!"

Then, Lin Bai thanked him and turned to walk back to the group.

Fang Jin happily said to Lin Bai, "Brother Dongfang, we can go to Haizhen City together now. I knew it, since you could see through Gao Rui’s Sword Skill flaws, he was bound to be no match for you!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Lin Bai turned back to Gao Rui and said, "You can’t even defeat me, yet you dream of knocking out teeth of the Five Junior Sword Masters of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, heh, are you dreaming?"

Hearing these words, Gao Rui’s face instantly flushed with rage: "A mere Warrior from the Ninth Level of the Yin Saint Realm dares to lecture me! If it were a real duel to the death, I would kill you within ten moves!"

Lin Bai laughed lightly, "If it were a real duel to the death, you would die by my Sword within three moves!"

After saying this, Lin Bai paid no further attention to Gao Rui, standing by Fang Jin’s side and chatting with him.

"I’ll get you! I won’t let this go so easily!" Gao Rui looked at Lin Bai with eyes filled with resentment and venom.

Fang Jin seemed to notice Gao Rui’s hostility and whispered, "Brother Dongfang, defeating him with a single point seemed to have left some resentment in his heart."

Lin Bai shook his head, "No matter, although Gao Rui has some strength, he isn’t worth my concern. Brother Fang Jin, let’s get ready to set off."

Lin Bai saw that the recruitment of Warriors by the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce was nearly complete with almost a hundred participants.

After Lin Bai joined the group, more than ten other Warriors joined. Housekeeper Zhuo Yi then announced the end of the recruitment, and the other Warriors had to leave disappointed.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said, "Esteemed Warriors, our Chamber of Commerce’s target location is Haizhen City. Once there, we will pay you with Spiritual Stones."

"Along the way, we request the protection of the esteemed masters, hoping for a perfectly safe return to Haizhen City."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi spoke softly.

The recruited Warriors nodded in agreement, all stating they would do their utmost.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said, "Then, esteemed masters, please follow me to our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce’s Spirit Boat. We are ready to depart."

Then, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi led the group of recruited Warriors onto the Spirit Boat of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Boat, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi first distributed rooms to all the Warriors and specifically instructed, "This is the area for your rooms. Remember, you are not to go to the Third Floor of the Spirit Boat on your own. If I find out anyone has gone up there without permission, not only will your payment be forfeited, but you will also face severe penalties from our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce!"

"The other two floors of the Spirit Boat, you may move freely."

"Just can’t go to the Third Floor."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said.

Lin Bai and Fang Jin nodded.

"Rest well, the Spirit Boat will depart in three hours. If you have things to handle in Mangshan Town during this period, please go ahead and do them quickly."

"After the Spirit Boat departs, if you encounter enemies, please don’t hold back and ensure the safety of the Spirit Boat!"

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi finished speaking and then stood up and left the ship cabin.

After Housekeeper Zhuo Yi left, Lin Bai went back to his room, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rejuvenate.

Once Housekeeper Zhuo Yi settled the recruited Warriors, he went to the Third Floor.

On the Third Floor, there were only a few rooms. Housekeeper Zhuo Yi came to one of the rooms and respectfully said, "Miss, everything is ready, we can depart now."

From inside the room, a cold voice responded: "Hmm, if everything is ready, then let’s not wait any longer, let’s depart. The Divine Weapon Feast is about to start; we need to return to Haizhen City quickly."

"Also, Zhuo Yi, remind these recruited warriors not to relax as we get closer to Haizhen City."

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi was startled and asked in surprise, "Miss, do you think they will take action outside Haizhen City?"

The lady in the room indifferently said, "They won’t want us to return to Haizhen City alive! Whether certain people from the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce or the Wolf Pack Commerce Association, none would want to see us return alive!"

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi gently nodded and said, "I understand, I will remind them."

"Right," the lady in the room acknowledged.

Subsequently, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi left the Third Floor and prepared for departure on the Spirit Boat.

Three hours later, the Spirit Boat rose from the ground at Mangshan Town and headed straight into the depths of Mangshan Ridge, towards the Qilin Dynasty.

"Dongfang brother," at this moment, the voice of Fang Jin came from the door.

Lin Bai opened the door and saw that Fang Jin looked distressed.

Lin Bai asked, "Brother Fang Jin, what’s wrong? Why do you look so upset?"

Fang Jin responded, "Dongfang brother, the Spirit Boat has already departed from Mangshan Town and I came to remind you."

Lin Bai said, "I know, is there a problem?"

Fang Jin’s expression became solemn as he said, "Departing from Mangshan Town means we are entering deep into Mangshan Ridge, by that time, we might encounter bandits!"

"I came to remind you to be extra careful."

Fang Jin said seriously.

"Thank you," Lin Bai expressed his thanks.

"Brother Fang Jin, let’s go up to the deck and take a look; I have never seen Mangshan Ridge before."

Lin Bai said with a light laugh.

Fang Jin pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, if we can spot the bandits early, we can also prepare early. Let’s go up to the deck and keep a watch!"

Fang Jin looked as if facing a great enemy, clearly very cautious of the bandits within Mangshan Ridge.
