The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1550 - 1547: The Power of the Junior Sword Venerate!

Chapter 1550: Chapter 1547: The Power of the Junior Sword Venerate!

More than three hundred Sword Cultivators stood together with Tang Biao, positioning themselves before Lin Bai, protecting him amidst their ranks.

"Junior Sword Venerate, rest assured, with us here today, they wish to kill our Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, they must step over our dead bodies," Tang Biao said coldly.

"Junior Sword Venerate, within the Linhai Dynasty, there are countless Outer Sect Disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

"Please do not worry, Junior Sword Venerate. I only need to send out a call for help, and within two hours, more than ten thousand Sword Cultivators will arrive at Wuji Mountain Manor. If the Silver Moon Commerce Association wants to fight, then we’ll give them a fight!"

Tang Biao said coldly.

"Tang Biao! You!" Manager Lang Ning trembled violently with rage as he glared at Tang Biao!

Tang Biao’s tone was cold as he said, "Manager Lang Ning, although we rely on your Silver Moon Commerce Association for our livelihood, you dare to gather a mob to besiege the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate. How audacious of you!"

"Do you actually consider the billions of Sword Cultivators of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect as mere decorations?"

"If the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect wanted to annihilate your Silver Moon Commerce Association, it wouldn’t even need the million Sword Cultivators from within the Sect. Just by spreading the word, we Outer Sect Disciples within the Linhai Dynasty could flatten your Silver Moon Commerce Association within ten days!"

"If you don’t believe it, just give it a try!"

Tang Biao spoke with an air of murderous intent.

"You!" Overcome by rage, Manager Lang Ning spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face paling as he bellowed, "What are the rest of you Warriors waiting for? The encirclement and suppression of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate is already in place."

"If we don’t kill them today, by the time the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect gets the news, it will be our lives on the line!"

"Kill them for me!"

Manager Lang Ning roared.

"Should we make a move?"

"To go or not to go?"

"Damn! How did I get dragged into this mess? Now I’m caught between a rock and a hard place – not going means death, going is also death!"

Many Warriors yelled in exasperation, cursing in their hearts that Young Master Yue Hua was a scoundrel!

"Brothers, if it’s a road to death either way, let’s fight our way through to life."

"As long as we can kill Dongfang Bai and these Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, we still have a chance to live."

"Kill!"

At this moment, the other Warriors had come to understand the stakes involved.

The crime of besieging the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Venerate was now decisively upon them, and once the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect received word, none of the participants in today’s event would escape!

Now their only option was to fight desperately. Only by killing Dongfang Bai and everyone else could they have a sliver of chance for survival!

"Since you wish for death, we shall oblige!" Tang Biao and the other three hundred plus Sword Cultivators swiftly launched themselves at the oncoming seven hundred plus individuals.

It must be said that even the least skilled Sword Cultivator from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect possessed a measure of strength.

The three hundred Sword Cultivators charged out and fought evenly matched against the seven hundred plus Warriors!

"Good, good, good, kill him, kill him," Manager Lang Ning shouted excitedly, aware that only by killing Lin Bai could he survive!

However, at that moment, Manager Lang Ning saw the other Warriors rushing forward and instead turned around, sprinting away from Wuji Mountain.

Lin Bai looked up and said coldly, "Thinking of running?"

Lin Bai took an arrow step, crossing a kilometer in distance, and chased after Manager Lang Ning.

"Dongfang Bai! Do not go too far!" Manager Lang Ning screamed in anger upon seeing Lin Bai catching up.

Lin Bai snorted coldly, and the Demonic Sword in his hand emitted a chilling sword light, aiming for Manager Lang Ning’s throat.

A flash of the sword, sharp and unrivaled.

Manager Lang Ning’s pale face uttered, "Dongfang Bai, do not kill me, do not kill me. It was all Young Master Yue Hua’s command; he ordered me to kill you, it wasn’t me."

Lin Bai said coldly, "Then on your journey down the Netherworld Path, do not hurry too much—I will soon be sending Young Master Yue Hua down to join you."

Lin Bai thrust his sword, piercing through Manager Lang Ning’s throat.

Manager Lang Ning immediately fell into a pool of blood, eyes wide with death.

At this moment, Lin Bai turned to look back at the battlefield, where the three hundred Sword Cultivators had nearly slaughtered the other seven hundred plus Warriors.

After exterminating all the Warriors on site, Tang Biao and the others gathered once again before Lin Bai.

"Junior Sword Venerate, this area has been cleaned up," Tang Biao said as he observed the vast expanse littered with corpses within the Wuji Mountain Manor. They were already accustomed to this sight, for as guardians at the Silver Moon Commerce Association, they were often required to fight.

Lin Bai clasped his hands in a bow, expressing his gratitude, "I owe you all a great debt of gratitude for this occasion, dear brothers."

"Junior Sword Venerate, you’re too polite," they replied.

"Had Junior Sword Venerate revealed his identity sooner, we wouldn’t have joined forces with the Silver Moon Commerce Association against you."

"Exactly, Junior Sword Venerate, you’re being too formal. After all, we are disciples of the same Sect."

"Back when I was at my wit’s end, if the Sect had not been willing to take me in as an Outer Sect Disciple, I might have died from wild dogs’ bites out in the wilderness."

"Whoever opposes the Junior Sword Venerate is opposing the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and to oppose the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is to first confront us, the Outer Sect Disciples!"

The three hundred Sword Cultivators said fervently.

Lin Bai felt an extraordinary gratitude in his heart; he had not expected these Outer Sect Disciples to be so loyal to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

Tang Biao spoke softly, "Junior Sword Venerate need not fret, we Sword Cultivators are neither born into prestigious families nor into clans of great renown, but rather we are inconspicuous parts of the vast Lingnan Continent."

"Were it not for the inclusive teachings of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, it would have been difficult for us to reach our present level of Cultivation."

"Therefore, our gratitude towards the Sect is immeasurable," Tang Biao explained blandly.

Lin Bai suddenly understood, nodding in realization. These Sword Cultivators were essentially disciples from poor households on the Lingnan Continent, lacking both connections and family backgrounds, relying solely on themselves.

Their talents were such that it was difficult to be accepted into other Sects; only in the Outer Sect of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, as long as one was willing to practice Sword Art, would the Sect be willing to accept them as disciples!

This undoubtedly provided these disciples from humble backgrounds a chance, much like offering a hot bowl of soup noodles to a beggar in the dead of winter, generating lifelong gratitude.

Lin Bai said, "However, by assisting me against the Silver Moon Commerce Association today, I fear you may have jeopardized your future prospects. It’s unlikely you can return to the Chamber now."

Tang Biao chuckled lightly, "If we can’t go back, so be it. Since we’ve taken a stand, we haven’t considered returning to the Silver Moon Commerce Association. Besides, the Lingnan lands are vast; surely the Silver Moon Commerce Association isn’t the only place to make a living?"

"That’s right, we can always find another place if it comes to that."

"Although our Cultivation Strength may not compare to Junior Sword Venerate’s, making a living on the Lingnan Continent is still no issue."

"Junior Sword Venerate need not worry about us; we won’t be going back to the Silver Moon Commerce Association," the three hundred Sword Cultivators proclaimed.

Lin Bai clasped his hands solemnly, "I can never repay the great kindness you’ve shown me. When you return to the Sect, you can find me at the Inner Gate. By then, I, Dongfang Bai, will absolutely have a grand feast prepared to welcome you all."

"Thank you, Junior Sword Venerate!"

"Haha, then we shall look forward to enjoying the fine wine offered by Junior Sword Venerate," they laughed heartily.

At this moment, Tang Biao said, "Junior Sword Venerate, it seems that there is some enmity between you and the Silver Moon Commerce Association. Shall I organize the Outer Sect Disciples within Linhai Dynasty to teach the Chamber a lesson?"

Lin Bai shook his head, "Let it be. My original purpose for venturing out was to gain experience; I do not wish to utilize too many Sect resources."

Understanding dawned upon Tang Biao as he spoke, for he had been puzzled why Lin Bai concealed his identity.

"Then please be careful, Junior Sword Venerate. Although the Silver Moon Commerce Association is not as powerful as our Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, they wield some influence within the Linhai Dynasty," Tang Biao cautioned.

"Of course, Junior Sword Venerate need not fear them. Should you require it, you only need to call out in Haizhen City, and countless Outer Sect Disciples will surely respond to your summons."

"Among the Outer Sect Disciples scraping by in Haizhen City, if there aren’t a million, there must be at least a hundred thousand," Tang Biao said with a smile.

"Is it really that effective?" Lin Bai asked in surprise.

Tang Biao replied with a light laugh, "You are the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, esteemed leader of a million Sword Cultivators. With a mere shout from you, any disciple who has spent time in the Outer Sect of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect will surely stir at your call."

"Does Junior Sword Venerate really think this title is just for show?"

"Not at all, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate is entitled to mobilize all the Sect’s disciples across the Lingnan Continent!"

"After all, one day, you may become the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Sword Master," Tang Biao said with a light laugh.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, only then truly appreciating the power vested in the title of Junior Sword Venerate.

So it turns out that the position of Junior Sword Venerate is quite powerful on the Lingnan Continent!
