The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1562 - 1559: The Whereabouts of Chai Xu and Ye Fenghuo!

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1559: The Whereabouts of Chai Xu and Ye Fenghuo!

Lin Bai needed to find Chai Xu, and both Lu Ao and Fang Jin were aware of the reason. Lin Bai had also hinted at the damage to the Demonic Sword in their casual conversations, but he never elaborated on why the Demonic Sword was damaged.

Having pondered privately for a long time, Lu Ao and Fang Jin could not figure out what power on the Lingnan Continent could possibly damage the Demonic Sword.

Lin Bai and the other two waited patiently in the private room, until the maid Siyu finally returned with a smile.

"Miss Siyu, have you managed to find the information I need?" Lin Bai immediately asked.

Her eyes brightened as she looked at Lin Bai with more reverence than before: "For the information needed by Young Sword Master Dongfang, our Tianbao Tower would brave any danger to obtain it."

"Please accept this storage bag, Young Sword Venerate. I was unaware of your origins earlier and may have offended you. I ask for your forgiveness," Siyu said as she returned the storage bag to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai opened it to find the two hundred million Spiritual Stones he had given Siyu to gather information. Seeing that Siyu had returned the Spiritual Stones, Lin Bai asked in confusion, "What? Does Tianbao Tower think the price is inappropriate?"

"Not at all," Siyu replied with a light chuckle. "The information about Chai Xu and Ye Fenghuo is something Tianbao Tower is willing to provide to the Young Sword Venerate, and the Spiritual Stones are not necessary. Consider it a gesture from Tianbao Tower to make friends with the Young Sword Venerate."

Lin Bai’s gaze flickered imperceptibly, somber, yet he did not respond immediately.

"Since that’s the case, would Miss Siyu please tell me, where exactly are Chai Xu and Ye Fenghuo?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Chai Xu arrived quietly at Haizhen City three months ago, and his current place of residence is quite secretive; true to his character, he probably does not enjoy too much attention," Siyu spoke softly.

"If the Young Sword Venerate wishes to meet Chai Xu, I fear that even if I gave you his address or you announced your identity, Chai Xu might still be unwilling to meet with you."

Lin Bai’s expression remained unchanged as he listened to Siyu.

Siyu paused her speech for a moment before continuing: "However, if the Young Sword Venerate is truly insistent on a meeting with Chai Xu, then Tianbao Tower is willing to act as a mediator!"

"After all, Chai Xu has a rather good relationship with our Tianbao Tower."

"This can also be seen as Tianbao Tower doing a favor for the Young Sword Venerate," Siyu said with a grin.

"Unwarranted kindness is either scheming or thievery. I came to Tianbao Tower to gather information, and not only do you not accept my Spiritual Stones, but you are also willing to help me network. Could it be that Tianbao Tower has been too idle lately, with nothing to do?" Lin Bai said with a light chuckle.

"Hehe, Young Sword Venerate, please do not overthink. Our Tianbao Tower genuinely wishes to befriend you, as we hold you in high regard," Siyu said with a soft smile.

"Regard me for what?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"The upper echelons of Tianbao Tower believe that you may be the next Sword Venerable of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Thus, they hope that after you inherit the position, you will look favorably upon Tianbao Tower’s business. That’s all," Siyu said with a blooming smile and sincere demeanor; Lin Bai could not discern any deceit in the woman.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said calmly, "Since Tianbao Tower is willing to facilitate, I will be obliged."

"Now that we have found information on Chai Xu, does Tianbao Tower have any news of Ye Fenghuo’s whereabouts?"

"Ye Fenghuo has been in Haizhen City since half a year ago. He has a good relationship with the Wolf Pack Commerce Association and seems to hold a high position within it," Siyu spoke slowly.

"Currently, Ye Fenghuo is at the general rudder of the Wolf Pack Commerce Association, and it looks like he won’t leave Haizhen City before the Divine Weapon Feast ends."

Lin Bai frowned: "Ye Fenghuo is a high-ranking member of the Wolf Pack Commerce Association?"

Siyu chuckled lightly, "That’s right. Moreover, this time Ye Fenghuo, the returning Senior, brought a flying sword to Haizhen City, and before the Divine Weapon Feast began, Ye Fenghuo had the sword assessed at Tianbao Tower."

"At that time, many Artifact Refiners of Tianbao Tower, including Senior Chai Xu, praised the flying sword incessantly."

Lin Bai’s expression became focused, listening carefully.

As Siyu spoke up to this point, she said in a low voice, "Junior Sword Venerable, since the topic has reached this point, the little maid will divulge a bit more news. The flying sword, according to information leaked by the higher-ups of Tianbao Tower in Lingnan, will make it onto the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking this year, and it should enter the top ten; however, as for which specific position, we’ll only know once the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking is published."

Lin Bai nodded upon hearing this, his expression unchanged.

For the flying sword to enter the top ten of the Top Martial Spirit Weapon Ranking didn’t surprise Lin Bai at all. Not to mention the materials used to forge the flying sword, but since it was personally crafted by Ling Tianzi, the forging techniques and methods applied were probably beyond the understanding of Artifact Refiners on the Lingnan Continent.

But with these forging techniques alone, it’s enough for the flying sword to make it into the top ten!

"Now that I have learned of this news, please arrange a meeting for me with Senior Chai Xu through Tianbao Tower," Lin Bai pondered for a moment and then said slowly.

"Certainly, as soon as we contact Senior Chai Xu, we will immediately notify the Junior Sword Venerable through Silver Moon Commerce Association," Siyu said with a light laugh.

Tianbao Tower actually knew of Lin Bai’s whereabouts at Silver Moon Commerce Association; it seems the rumors were true, all warriors of some renown in the Lingnan Continent who entered Haizhen City were under the surveillance of Tianbao Tower.

Lin Bai nodded slightly and chatted idly with Siyu for a while before leaving Tianbao Tower with Lu Ao, Fang Jin, and others!

After Lin Bai left, Siyu departed the Private Room and entered an elegant and luxurious room within Tianbao Tower’s Lingnan headquarters.

In this room, a woman dressed in a bright red qipao was gently savoring a cup of fragrant tea.

"Envoy," said Siyu as she entered the room, bowing respectfully upon seeing the woman.

"Has he left?" the Qipao Woman asked softly.

"Yes," Siyu felt a bit puzzled in her heart; she could not understand why Tianbao Tower’s Inspector Envoy would take such an interest in a Junior Sword Venerable of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

"Did you tell him the information he was looking for?" the Qipao Woman inquired.

Siyu replied respectfully, "I have informed him fully, and per the Envoy’s wishes, I have arranged through our Tianbao Tower to contact Senior Chai Xu, and also disclosed Ye Fenghuo’s address to him."

The Qipao Woman said, "Good, you go and make arrangements; ensure that Chai Xu meets him as soon as possible."

"Yes," Siyu answered and then left the room.

Only then did the Qipao Woman slowly put down her cup of tea, her beautiful eyes lifted, revealing myriad charms and her lips curled into a cold smile, "You finally couldn’t resist, Ye Fenghuo. Are you the first target on your list?"

"Do you plan to take action within Haizhen City? The Wolf Pack Commerce Association is not an easy place to deal with."

The Qipao Woman smiled lightly.

After returning to Silver Moon Commerce Association, Lin Bai did not leave the house for several days.

Five days later, a warrior from Tianbao Tower came to Silver Moon Commerce Association and informed Lin Bai that everything had been arranged. Senior Chai Xu had agreed to come to Tianbao Tower to meet with Lin Bai, and urged Lin Bai to make sure to visit Tianbao Tower the next day!
