The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1670 - 1667: Donglan Sword Sect Elder! Ma Ritian!

Chapter 1670: Chapter 1667: Donglan Sword Sect Elder! Ma Ritian!

Luo Xuan hurriedly apologized to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "No problem, no problem."

Luo Xuan, upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, heaved a sigh of relief, then coldly addressed Luo Yu, "Luo Yu, if you continue to make unreasonable trouble, don’t blame me for disregarding our ties as siblings and our Second Uncle’s face—I’ll teach you a lesson!"

Luo Xuan spoke with some anger.

Luo Yu raised his head, revealing a face as pristine as jade, the face of a spoiled, carefree rich kid. Lin Bai took one look and immediately knew this person was undeniably a playful and arrogant second-generation young master.

Lin Bai decided even more firmly not to bother with him—it would not only waste his breath but also his time.

Luo Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Luo Xuan, so what if the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Master Sword Venerate designated someone as the Junior Sword Venerate? Not long ago, a disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect came to our Luo Family, and wasn’t I able to defeat him with just a few moves?"

"He was even a Purple-robed Inner Disciple!"

"In my opinion, those Purple-robed Inner Disciples are just like that—the Junior Sword Venerate won’t be much stronger either."

"If you bring back a Feng Yue Elder, maybe I’ll show them a bit of respect. But a Junior Sword Venerate at the First Level of the Yangshen Realm... this... Brother Luo Xuan, don’t you find it somewhat ridiculous?"

Luo Yu said mockingly.

Luo Xuan, utterly exasperated, shouted, "Luo Yu, shut up!"

Luo Tianyou also roared angrily, "Luo Yu, get out!"

"Wait!" Lin Bai interrupted at this moment.

Luo Xuan and Luo Tianyou froze, turning to look at Lin Bai!

While Luo Yu and some members of the Luo Family might not know Lin Bai, Luo Xuan, having fought alongside Lin Bai as a sword cultivator, knew him very well. This man was none other than the King of Thousand Victories in the Reincarnation Arena, the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and the Demon Sword Cultivator who had slaughtered Holy Son-level warriors and Yangshen Realm strong ones of the Seven Major Sects in the Stars Secret Realm!

Luo Tianyou, drenched in cold sweat, said in a trembling voice, "Young Sword Master Dongfang, I have failed to discipline my household properly—please don’t hold it against me!"

Luo Xuan added, "Senior Brother Dongfang..."

Lin Bai smiled and raised his hand, cutting off both Luo Xuan’s and Luo Tianyou’s words, then chuckled and said, "This young man seems to have plenty more to say—let him finish, shall we?"

Luo Xuan’s eye twitched violently as he glared at Luo Yu.

Luo Tianyou coldly commanded, "Luo Yu, do not speak further!"

Luo Yu stood up arrogantly and said, "Patriarch, since Young Sword Master Dongfang has allowed me to speak, why shouldn’t I? Besides, I’m doing this for the family’s benefit!"

"Not long ago, a Purple-robed Inner Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect was defeated by me!"

"Young Sword Master Dongfang, how does a Purple-robed Inner Disciple rank within your Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?"

Luo Yu asked.

Lin Bai chuckled and replied, "A warrior who becomes a Purple-robed Inner Disciple can be considered a dragon among humans!"

"Hah!" Luo Yu scoffed, coldly remarking, "A dragon among humans? I wouldn’t say so. That Purple-robed Inner Disciple couldn’t last three moves against me and was defeated!"

"If you ask me, the sword cultivators of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect are nothing extraordinary!"

Nie Xiong and Lin Bai both looked at Luo Yu with amused smiles.

However, Luo Xuan and Luo Tianyou were drenched in cold sweat, glaring at Luo Yu as if they wished they could cut out his tongue.

Luo Yu went on, "For this competition over the Heavenly Saint Fruit, the Four Great Families only have ten seats. The other nine seats belong to warriors at the Fourth Level of the Yangshen Realm or above, all handpicked by our Luo Family!"

"As for Young Sword Master Dongfang, being at the First Level of the Yangshen Realm and participating in the competition over the Heavenly Saint Fruit is already a stroke of luck. I don’t know where Young Sword Master Dongfang found the audacity to demand half the Heavenly Saint Fruit!"

"Even if I were to agree, we’d still need to see whether the warriors participating in this challenge would agree, would we not?"

"What do you all say..." Luo Yu glanced at the other nine individuals seated.

Lin Bai and Nie Xiong also turned their eyes to observe. These nine individuals had varied expressions, their aura thick and powerful, revealing unmistakable cultivation strength at the Fourth Level of the Yangshen Realm or above.

Nie Xiong said, "During every Heavenly Saint Fruit harvest, the Four Great Families recruit several Yangshen Realm warriors. These nine are most likely the recruited experts, correct?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly and smiled, asking, "Well then, do you nine agree?"

Once these nine warriors heard Lin Bai’s question, their bodies trembled profoundly, unable to hide their fear. They were wandering cultivators who roamed inside the Beiyang Dynasty. Although their cultivation was decent, they were far from capable of challenging the strength of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect elites.

After a moment of uneasy silence, these nine individuals managed strained smiles and replied, "Naturally, we agree! With Young Sword Master Dongfang accompanying us, there’s a better chance of success in this venture!"

"Yes, yes! Young Sword Master Dongfang, please disregard Luo Yu’s comments—we hold your prowess in high regard!"

The nine individuals hurriedly stood up, smiling warmly at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "Did you hear that? They’re in full agreement."

Luo Yu stared at the nine warriors in shock, saying in disbelief, "Seniors, these Heaven-reaching Sword Sect disciples are nothing more than a bunch of posturing frauds, why fear them?"

The nine warriors, upon hearing Luo Yu’s remark, were so terrified their eyes nearly popped out. Within their hearts, they clenched their teeth and cursed, wishing they could rip out Luo Yu’s tongue!

Luo Yu shouted angrily, "In my opinion, instead of letting Young Sword Master Dongfang join, why not let my Master go? My Master, after all, is a warrior at the Fourth Level of the Yangshen Realm, with tremendous strength!"

"As for Young Sword Master Dongfang, he can remain here in Luo Family City as a guest. Our Luo Family will, of course, treat him with the finest hospitality!"

Luo Yu said coldly as he stared at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai chuckled and remarked, "After all this talk, you finally get to the point. I wonder, who is your Master? Is he present here?"

Luo Yu sneered and stepped toward an old man seated with his eyes closed in meditation. He bowed respectfully before turning to Lin Bai and said, "This is my Master, Elder Ma Ritian of Donglan Sword Sect!"

The old man sat cross-legged, not having spoken a word throughout. His eyes remained shut, his aura exuding ethereal calm, enhancing the sense of a reclusive master.

"Ah, so it’s an Elder of Donglan Sword Sect." Lin Bai replied with a smile.

Ma Ritian slowly opened his eyes, smiling faintly at Lin Bai, "I greet Young Sword Master Dongfang."

Lin Bai chuckled, "Elder Ma Ritian, I’ve heard that Luo Yu recently defeated a Purple-robed Inner Disciple from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?"

Ma Ritian smiled lightly, "That is indeed the case."

Lin Bai smirked faintly with contempt.

"Hahaha!" Nie Xiong burst into laughter, standing from his seat and glaring at Luo Yu, "Luo Yu, I happen to be a Purple-robed Inner Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect myself—how about a spar?"

"Didn’t you just say that our disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect are all a bunch of posturing frauds?"

"Why don’t you come down here and spar with me?"

Nie Xiong challenged.
