The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1664 - 1661: Farewell is Imminent!

Chapter 1664: Chapter 1661: Farewell is Imminent!

In just a few days, a shocking rumor spread across the Lingnan Continent: Within the Stars Secret Realm, Dongfang Bai single-handedly slew hundreds of Yangshen Realm warriors, including even those at the Holy Son level.

After emerging from the Stars Secret Realm, Dongfang Bai was ambushed by unknown forces. His entire skeletal structure and heart meridians were shattered. Though the Sect Leader Sword Master used spiritual power to extend his life, the days he has left can now be counted.

Dongfang Bai is on the verge of death!

This rumor swept through the 72 Dynasties of Lingnan like a thunderstorm, even reaching the demon kingdoms.

"Alas, Dongfang Bai fell victim to an overflow of spiritual energy, ultimately succumbing to an early death."

"Indeed, it’s said that the five people who ambushed Dongfang Bai are all individuals who wield tremendous influence within the Seven Major Sects!"

"Another monster-level genius has perished from the Lingnan Continent."

"..."

At this moment, countless people in the Lingnan Continent are lamenting Dongfang Bai’s fate.

Within the Azure Dragon Empire Tianbao Tower’s division headquarters, Su Xianmei angrily crushed the jade slip in her hand and said coldly, "Investigate! Find out who the five attackers of Dongfang Bai were—every single one of them!"

In an instant, the intelligence network of Tianbao Tower sprang into action, nearly overturning the entire Nan Chu Dynasty as they sought to uncover the mastermind behind the incident!

Meanwhile, Su Xianmei headed directly to Purple Gold City.

Within the Great Hall of Purple Gold City, two figures were present—one was clearly the Lord of Purple Gold City, while the other man was missing one arm, a goatee resting below his chin.

"Uncle Xun, Father."

Upon arriving in Purple Gold City and seeing the two men, Su Xianmei immediately bowed in greeting.

The one-armed old man was none other than Su Xianmei’s father, Su Yanhua!

The Lord of Purple Gold City said coldly, "Xianmei, is the rumor spreading through the Lingnan Continent true? Has Lin Bai really..."

Su Yanhua’s face looked equally displeased, his eyes darkened as he gazed at Su Xianmei.

Su Xianmei said, "I still don’t know the full details. I’ve already sent people to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, but the sect hasn’t responded. All we know is that after Lin Bai returned to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, their Sect Leader Sword Master was so enraged that he split the Sword Master Hall in two with a single strike!"

Su Yanhua took a deep breath and said, "If Elder Brother Lin Duo’s descendant dies like this, how could we ever face Elder Brother Lin Duo?"

The Lord of Purple Gold City said coldly, "It’s not just Elder Brother Lin Duo; even those old fellows still residing in the East Continent—it would be impossible to explain this to them as well."

Su Yanhua said, "Xianmei, you must immediately travel to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to meet Lin Bai in person and ensure his safety... Report back as soon as there’s any news."

"As for us... Xun, perhaps now is not the time to stay hidden. Should we notify those old friends in the East Continent?"

Su Yanhua looked at the Lord of Purple Gold City.

The Lord of Purple Gold City nodded silently.

Su Xianmei left Purple Gold City without hesitation, heading straight for the Litian Dynasty.

After Su Xianmei departed, the Lord of Purple Gold City and Su Yanhua walked side by side into a secret chamber within Purple Gold City.

Inside the chamber, the glow gradually illuminated the space around them.

At this moment, the Magic Circle within the chamber activated, and one figure after another emerged on the stone walls.

"Su Yanhua, Xun Zhizang. Long time no see."

"Haha, you two still remember to contact us?"

"Su Yanhua, come have some wine with us! Where are you hiding?"

"..."

Ten figures appeared on the walls, smiling as they addressed Su Yanhua and the Lord of Purple Gold City.

The Lord of Purple Gold City’s true name was Xun Zhizang.

"Su Yanhua, Xun Zhizang, why do your faces look so gloomy? What happened?" one shadow asked doubtfully.

Su Yanhua said, "Everyone, years ago we discovered that Elder Brother Lin Duo had a surviving descendant. After investigating through various means, we finally located him."

"But unfortunately, he might die soon."

Su Yanhua said bitterly.

"What?!"

"Elder Brother Lin Duo actually has a descendant?"

"Is it Li Subai’s son?"

"A descendant of theirs still exists?"

"Su Yanhua, Xun Zhizang, how could you wait until now to tell us about something this important?!"

"Where are you? We’re coming right now!"

The ten figures immediately became agitated.

Su Yanhua and Xun Zhizang remained silent.

One of the figures said coldly, "Su Yanhua, Xun Zhizang, if Elder Brother Lin Duo’s descendant dies, how can you answer to Elder Brother Lin Duo?"

"Who was responsible?"

"Tell us where you are. We’ll come immediately. Anyone who dares touch Elder Brother Lin Duo’s descendant is courting death!"

The ten figures began to grow visibly enraged.

The Lord of Purple Gold City, Xun Zhizang, said calmly, "The situation is still unclear as of now. However, Su Xianmei is already investigating. Whether or not Elder Brother Lin Duo’s descendant is truly about to perish—this will become evident in due time."

"We’re informing you in advance, so if Elder Brother Lin Duo’s descendant dies, we will need to prepare for the next step."

The ten figures heard these words and their expressions darkened.

"Su Yanhua, Xun Zhizang, regardless of what happens, we hope that Elder Brother Lin Duo’s descendant survives. Anything else—leave it to us to shoulder later." One figure said.

"If you need our help, send word," said another.

"Very well," Su Yanhua and Xun Zhizang replied, and the two left the secret chamber together.

...

At the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

Zhang Jianxing angrily stormed toward the Little Spirit Stream, cursing as he walked, "You stubborn mule! I told you to return to the Sword Pavilion with me, but you wouldn’t listen! You insisted on coming back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect alone!"

Zhang Jianxing arrived in front of a bamboo lodge, entered the room, and saw Lin Bai lying on the bed, his face full of rage!

Lin Bai smiled faintly but remained silent.

Zhang Jianxing turned out to be the first to arrive.

Soon after, Lin Anyang and Lin Luo arrived to visit Lin Bai as well.

Even Young Master Qian Shui and the Wine Fairy traveled from afar to see him!

Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu, upon hearing the news, immediately abandoned their work on the Incorruptible Divine Iron and returned from Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain!

Two months later, Su Xianmei arrived at the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

"You’ve all seen him already, can’t you leave now?"

Lin Bai looked at the packed room and said with a smile.

Zhang Jianxing said coldly, "I’m waiting for you to breathe your last!"

Lin Bai rolled his eyes at Zhang Jianxing and chuckled softly, "Then I’m afraid you’ll have to keep waiting."

Young Master Qian Shui said, "Brother Dongfang, this..."

Wine Fairy said, "How did things escalate to this point?"

Su Xianmei’s eyes shifted as she stared at Lin Bai and said, "You don’t look at all like someone on the verge of death!"

"I’ve long come to terms with it." Lin Bai said with a light laugh.

At that moment, a Sound Transmission Talisman in Su Xianmei’s storage bag lit up. She walked to an empty area within the Little Spirit Stream and retrieved the talisman, upon which a voice emerged: "The investigation is complete. The individuals who ambushed Dongfang Bai Sword Master in the Nan Chu Dynasty include... Saint Seal Sect Guardian Supreme Dong Qian, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master Yejian Jun’s avatar!"

"One of the four Grand Elders of Fenxin Sect, Xuanhuo Elder!"

"Luotian Sect Guardian Supreme, Yan Lin!"

"One of the Seven Blade Saints of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Cold Sea Blade Master Bai Yan!"

Upon hearing the names of these five, Su Xianmei’s gaze turned icy cold and she said, "Report this information to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"Understood," the voice on the other end of the Sound Transmission Talisman replied.
