Chapter 1625: Chapter 1622: Elders of All Sects!

Zhang Jianxing stopped fighting with Wei Tianjun and Yan Tuo.

Zhang Jianxing came to Lin Bai’s side and upon seeing Lin Bai’s cold and trembling with anger, he chuckled and said: "Heh, Brother Dongfang, both of us understand that even though we took action today, neither of us can kill the other!"

"These Elders from the Seven Major Sects will not just stand by and watch their Saints die by your hand."

"There’s no need for you to be so angry!"

Upon hearing what Zhang Jianxing said, Lin Bai took a deep breath and sighed: "I’m not angry about them rescuing the Saints; I’m angry at myself. If only my Sword Skill were faster, even if these Elders wanted to save them, it would be impossible!"

"In the end, I am still too weak!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

If Lin Bai’s sword technique were a bit faster, with the power of "Sword of Ten Steps" and One Thought Godslayer, he definitely could have killed Mi Rong, Yu Liang, and the others before the Elders of the Seven Major Sects intervened!

Wei Tianjun and Yan Tuo both ceased fighting, and with cold indifference watched Mi Rong and Yejian Qiu and others, a look of disgust flashing in their eyes as they cursed inwardly: "What a bunch of garbage, several individuals claiming to be of Saint-level, yet together they can’t even take down a Dongfang Bai!"

Mi Rong, Yejian Qiu, Yu Liang, and Yang Changdong all stood beside their Sect Elders, their expressions cold as they looked toward Lin Bai and Zhang Jianxing.

At this moment, a hearty laugh came from within the Cloud Sky: "Hahaha, esteemed Elders of the Seven Major Sects, coming to East City, why have you not sought me out?"

The old man who appeared with a hearty laugh was an Elder of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

The Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elders present numbered seven, and beside these seven Elders stood Yejian Jun, Lin Luo, and Lin Anyang.

Zhang Jianxing chuckled and said: "See, the Elders of your Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were waiting on the side all along, and if you couldn’t stand against them, the Elders of your Heaven-reaching Sword Sect wouldn’t stand by and watch as you got killed either!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

The seven Elders came to Lin Bai’s side, all with smiles on their faces, showing no signs of blame but rather two Elders even secretly gave Lin Bai a thumbs up!

Seeing the arrival of the seven Elders from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, the faces of the Elders from other Sects turned slightly colder, barely concealing a smoldering anger.

"Esteemed Sect Elders, I’m already aware of the purpose of your visit to East City, but since Dongfang Bai, our Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is so sure that the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain have not used such despicable methods to kill,"

"Then I believe there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Moreover, the sword cultivators of my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, I guess, would not do such cowardly and despicable deeds."

The seven Elders of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect said one after another.

The Elder of the Fenxin Sect spoke softly: "Now that the Elders of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect have spoken up for the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain, how could we not show face?"

The mood of the Elder of the Donglan Sword Sect darkened: "Perhaps there is indeed a misunderstanding."

The Luotian Sect Elder said with a cold voice: "Please ensure the Elders of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect properly discipline your disciples; whether or not this matter is a misunderstanding, I hope such an incident will not happen again."

The seven Elders of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect all responded with cheerful smiles: "Since you are already in East City, why not come to our Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to enjoy a cup of water and wine?"

"No need!" The Elder of the Fenxin Sect snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Today, the defeat of the Fenxin Sect Saint at the hands of Dongfang Bai caused a great loss of face for the Fenxin Sect, and this Elder who had personally saved Yang Changdong was even more annoyed!

Hearing that the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect still wanted to host a banquet for them, the Elder from the Fenxin Sect felt humiliated and immediately left with a flick of his sleeve.

Yang Changdong, observing the sullen face of the Fenxin Sect Elder, knew that his defeat today looked bad for the Fenxin Sect. Clenching his teeth, he glared at Lin Bai and roared: "Dongfang Bai! Within the Stars Secret Realm, I will definitely kill you!"

Lin Bai gave Yang Changdong a disdainful look, as if to say: If you have the guts, just try!

Yu Liang also said, "Dongfang Bai, with Sect Elders present here, both of us are fighting with our hands tied, unable to unleash our full capabilities. Once we enter the Wan Xing Secret Realm, let’s have a proper fight!"

Yu Liang was not lying; they all knew that regardless of who won or lost today, neither would be able to kill the other in the end.

After all, their status within the Seven Major Sects was too high, as Saint-level warriors, the Sect Elders would never stand by and watch them be killed!

But once they’re in the Wan Xing Secret Realm, things will be different. There, without rules, without Sect Elders, without interference, they could truly have an all-out battle without many restraints!

Yejian Qiu also said coldly, "For the grudge of today, I will surely seek retribution in the Wan Xing Secret Realm!"

Lin Bai glanced at Yejian Qiu. During their earlier confrontation, Lin Bai also sensed that Yejian Qiu was holding back; he had not fought with all his might, and had only used one move of his King Skill Level technique.

Yan Tuo sneered, "Zhang Jianxing, we have decided our victory and defeat today, but in the Wan Xing Secret Realm, I hope to have the fortune to cross swords with the master of the Two Demonic Swords!"

Wei Tianjun said with a light laugh, "Today, I have come to understand the strength of the Legacy of the Demon Sword. In the Wan Xing Secret Realm, I must witness the power of the Successor of the Demonic Sword, and I hope the Successor will not disappoint me!"

Wei Tianjun stared coldly at Lin Bai with a smirk, his smile filled with ferocity.

Following the departure of Wei Tianjun and Yan Tuo.

The other Saint-level warriors also left one after another.

Peace returned to East City once again.

The gaiety on the faces of the seven Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elders suddenly vanished, as they sneered in unison, "Tsk, everyone wants to throw their filth onto our Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, as if they don’t know their own worth!"

"The Fenxin Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect are really getting more and more out of line!"

"Should we have the Sword Venerable intervene and give the other six sects a warning?"

"How to warn them? Do you want the Sword Venerable to pick up the Slaughter Knife again? My goodness, don’t make a mess; the Sword Venerable has finally been at peace for a hundred years. If he starts up again, what would come of it?"

The seven Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elders whispered to each other in midair.

Afterward, their gazes fell upon Lin Bai as they chuckled. "So you are Dongfang Bai, heh heh, although we are usually stationed in Starry Sky City, your name is indeed renowned amongst us."

Another Elder also laughed, "That’s right, young man, you are quite impressive to be this strong!"

Yet another Elder said quietly, "Dongfang Bai, from the remarks of those Saints when they were leaving, it seems they will target you in the Wan Xing Secret Realm; be careful."

"During your fight in Starry Sky City just now, they did not use their full strength—after all, we old fellows were watching, they did not dare to truly kill you!"

"But in the Wan Xing Secret Realm, it’s different. If you die in the Wan Xing Secret Realm, there’s nothing we can do about it!"

"So, when the Wan Xing Secret Realm opens in five days, you must be careful."

The Elders reminded him one by one.

Lin Bai responded with a clasped hand salute and a smile, "Thank you for the reminders, Elders. I will be cautious!"

The seven Elders then left.

Lin Luo gave Lin Bai a slight nod as a greeting and then departed as well. She was cold and not very talkative, so she didn’t say much.

Since his arrival, Yejian Jun’s expression hadn’t changed at all. He was neither surprised nor shocked by Lin Bai’s victory over the other sects’ Saints; to him, it seemed like a commonplace event, hardly arousing his interest!

Only Lin Anyang came forward to exchange a few smiling words with Lin Bai, but soon he, too, departed...
