The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 154 - 154 154 The Background of Ye Suxin

154: Chapter 154: The Background of Ye Suxin 154: Chapter 154: The Background of Ye Suxin Divine Alliance Headquarters.

“Young Sect Master, Lin Bai has completed his tasks in the Inner Gate and has returned to the Sect.”

In a luxurious loft at the Divine Alliance Headquarters, a white-robed man stepped out and spoke with a respectful bow.

“Hmph, he finally returns after killing so many of our Divine Alliance Warriors.

This feud is a blood feud.

I demand his life as payback!” snarled Su Cang.

In the loft, a woman watched Su Cang with gentle eyes, and said, “Cang, why be so angry?

No matter how strong Lin Bai is, could he possibly stand against you?”

The beautiful woman was none other than Ye Suxin, Su Cang’s fiancée.

“Of course, he couldn’t possibly be my match.

He isn’t even fit to shine my shoes.”

“Suxin, what you don’t know is that the relationship between the Divine Alliance and the Elder Pavilion is deteriorating rapidly.

Even the Grand Elder can’t keep the Elder Pavilion in check anymore.”

“If I execute Lin Bai right away in my capacity as Young Sect Master, it could provoke the Elder Pavilion to stir up trouble, accusing me of abusing my power.”

“But if I publicly challenge Lin Bai, the Elder Pavilion will accuse me of bullying the weak, lacking the demeanor of a Young Sect Master, and they might use the opportunity to remove me as Young Sect Master.”

“Now, my father is in seclusion, and the Grand Elder can’t stand against the Elders of the Elder Pavilion—truly a difficult situation for me!”

“But if I don’t kill Lin Bai, how can I establish my reputation within the Spirit Sword Sect?

If I can’t even kill Lin Bai, how can I convince my Divine Alliance brothers?

How can I lead them all?”

“Therefore, I must kill Lin Bai.”

The murderous intent filled Su Cang’s face.

Lin Bai had killed so many Warriors of the Divine Alliance, thus he was an implacable enemy in the hearts of the Divine Alliance Warriors.

Su Cang knew this.

If he did not kill Lin Bai, his authority within the Divine Alliance could decline day by day.

“Cang, why worry?

This minor matter does not require your effort.

I can kill Lin Bai myself.” Ye Suxin lightly laughed, she leaned softly against Su Cang’s chest, speaking with a slight smile.

Su Cang, in a tender voice, asked, “Suxin, are you certain?”

“For the past few months, I have been advancing my cultivation to the Fifth Level of the Earth Martial Realm thanks to the resources you gave me, and the demon beasts captured by the Divine Alliance brothers for me.

Armed with a demon beast of the Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm in my Beast-controlling Bag, I can dispose of a mere Lin Bai with ease,” Ye Suxin said indifferently.

“Moreover, you know that I bear a grudge against him.

He is not only your enemy or the enemy of the Divine Alliance but also an unforgivable foe of mine, Ye Suxin!”

“Damn it, I almost forgot—he hurt you!

Hmph, if anyone dares to hurt my woman, I will flay him alive and rip him apart!” Hearing Ye Suxin mentioned it, Su Cang roared angrily.

Upon hearing this, Ye Suxin inwardly rejoiced, and her face flushed, she softly said, “Cang, all you need to do now is to secure the people’s hearts within the Spirit Sword Sect, and successfully become the Sect Leader.

As for Lin Bai, leave everything to me.”

“Cang, the most important thing is to not stumble at this critical moment.

The entire Elder Pavilion is watching you, eagerly waiting for you to slip up, so they can use it as an excuse to strip you of your position as Young Sect Master.”

While holding Ye Suxin tenderly, Su Cang said, “Suxin, know that everything I do is not for the position of the Spirit Sword Sect Leader but for you.

Only if I become the Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, would I be able to marry you openly; it’s a test set for me by your father.”

“I know, that’s why I traveled all the way from the Miracle Ridge to help you,” Ye Suxin responded with delighted laughter.

Su Cang said, “Suxin, once I become the Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, I will go to the Miracle Ridge to formally ask for your hand in marriage, so you can marry me in the grandest style.”

“Mm.”

Ye Suxin responded with a shy nod.

“Cang, ask the Divine Alliance Warriors to keep an eye on Lin Bai’s movements.

Notify me at once when he leaves the Spirit Sword Sect.”

“If I kill him outside the Spirit Sword Sect, it’ll save you from getting into trouble.”

Ye Suxin gently told Su Cang.

“Miss Ye, you need not continue monitoring Lin Bai’s movements.

He has just gone to the Sword Alliance and has made an agreement with Li Jian Xing.

They will set out for the Withered Mountain Ridge and explore the relics of the Wind God Sect at dawn tomorrow.” At this time, the white-robed man who had been quiet spoke softly.

“Good!

Withered Mountain Ridge will undoubtedly be Lin Bai’s grave!” Ye Suxin said coldly.

Su Cang said, “I have heard of the relics of the Wind God Sect in Withered Mountain Ridge.

Ten thousand years ago, the Wind God Sect was one of the Prime Sects within Lingdong 700 states and it was not inferior to the Academy of the Miracle Ridge today.”

“The sect possessed countless rare and exotic plants.

As the rumor goes, the treasure of the Wind God Sect was a heavenly cultivation skill called ‘Ice Wind Divine Skill’, and they also possessed Martial Intention Divine techniques.

Unfortunately, all the treasures of our sect including the divine techniques were plundered when the Wind God Sect fell.”

“Suxin, since you are going to Withered Mountain Ridge to kill Lin Bai, you might as well try your luck at the relics of the Wind God Sect.

If you’re lucky enough, you might be able to acquire this heavenly cultivation skill.”

“To ensure your safety, I will arrange for some Divine Alliance Warriors to go with you,” Su Cang smiled and said to Ye Suxin.

Ye Suxin smiled and said, “If I can get the heavenly cultivation skill, that would naturally be great.

But the first objective of this trip is to kill Lin Bai!”

“Yes, exactly.”

Su Cang and Ye Suxin nodded to each other, showing an exceptional bond.

…

“Master, your disciple pays his respects.”

Lin Bai came to the White Cloud Peak and saw Ling Tianzi.

Ling Tianzi was still sitting upright, reading in the book pavilion.

Seeing Lin Bai, he put down his book and said with a smile, “Very good.

You have only been away for a few days, but you have already advanced to the Fourth Level of Earth Martial Realm.”

“Lin Bai, I am very curious.

You clearly possess a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul, so why is your advancement so rapid?”

Ling Tianzi curiously looked at Lin Bai, asking with doubt.

According to reason, the cultivation of a Yellow Level First-grade Martial Soul would be painfully slow.

But Lin Bai’s break-through speed was faster than even a God-Level Martial Soul, which left Ling Tianzi, the old monster, baffled.

Lin Bai gave a faint smile, “Master, it is true that my Martial Soul is of Yellow Level First Grade, but my Martial Soul is somewhat unique…”

“Unique?

How so?” Ling Tianzi asked curiously.

“I’m not sure how to explain it.” Lin Bai hesitated for a long time, unsure of how to explain the Devouring Sword Spirit.

“It’s fine, just show your Martial Soul to me.” Ling Tianzi laughed softly.

“Okay.”

Lin Bai agreed immediately.

He had no reservations towards Ling Tianzi.

Lin Bai could see that Ling Tianzi held no malice towards him.

Whoosh!

Lin Bai stabilized his mind and activated his Martial Soul.

Suddenly, the entire White Cloud Peak was covered by a terrifying suction power.

The spirit energy from all around, the buildings, the rocks, trees, all dissolved under the influence of this suction and moved towards Lin Bai.

Above Lin Bai’s head, a mass of black fog as dark as ink appeared.

Within the thick black mist, a sharp sword as black as ink was enveloped!

“Devouring Sword Spirit!”

Ling Tianzi cried out in alarm, his face changed drastically as he looked at the cloud of black mist above Lin Bai’s head.

The appearance of the Devouring Sword Spirit caused Ling Tianzi’s always calm face to reveal a look of fear.
