Chapter 1701: Chapter 1698: Shenyu Mountains Opening! (5 Chapters)

Lin Bai was in the room, chatting idly with Hai Tang.

She spoke to Lin Bai about some amusing experiences during her time on the Lingnan Continent, while Lin Bai told her the events that took place on the Miracle Ridge and Lingdong, including matters related to Ye Suxin, without hiding anything.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know so many things had happened on the Miracle Ridge."

"That lady Ye Suxin, she..."

Hai Tang asked with concern.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I tried to use the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation left behind by the Five Poison Sect to revive Ye Suxin, but I don’t know if the formation is missing something; I’ve never been able to complete the final step!"

"But I know that as long as I find the complete formation diagram for the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation, I’ll be able to revive Ye Suxin!"

"However... the child will probably not survive."

Lin Bai shook his head bitterly and said.

Hai Tang deeply felt the sadness radiating from Lin Bai, stepped forward gently, took his hand, and said comfortingly, "Don’t worry, everything will get better."

Lin Bai smiled faintly.

Hai Tang then asked, "So this time, you came to Lingnan to seek revenge for Ye Suxin? To confront the Six Freaks of Lingnan?"

Lin Bai nodded and said, "That’s right. I’ve already killed one of the Six Freaks of Lingnan, and now I’m hunting down the second, Ye Jianjun!"

Hai Tang asked with confusion, "Wait, didn’t you already kill Ye Jianjun once in the Stars Secret Realm? How is it that he’s appeared so many times in the Lingnan Continent?"

Lin Bai replied, "Ye Jianjun once obtained a second Martial Soul in the Chi Xian Sect Battlefield, called the ’Blood Shadow Demon Body.’ As long as the vitality force within him is sufficient, he can create clones!"

"The ones I’ve killed so far have essentially all been Ye Jianjun’s clones; as of now, I still haven’t killed his true form!"

"This time, I came to the Exile Land specifically to kill him!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

"Ye Jianjun is in the Exile Land?" Hai Tang asked with doubt.

Lin Bai said, "There’s been a rumor lately in the Exile Land, hasn’t there? Three months ago, a black-clothed swordsman suddenly discovered the location of the Shenyu Mountains. That person is likely Ye Jianjun!"

"And the reason he’s lingered in the Exile Land for so long is very possibly due to the Shenyu Mountains!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Tang frowned and said, "I’ve definitely heard of this black-clothed swordsman. He always wears black robes that cover his face, and very few have ever seen his true appearance!"

"This man is notoriously fearsome in the Exile Land!"

"Three months ago, after discovering the Shenyu Mountains, he informed one of the Three Great Families—the Zhang Family! Then, he disappeared again!"

Lin Bai said, "He discovered the traces of the Shenyu Mountains but couldn’t open its Magic Circle. He had no choice but to pass the information to the Three Great Families and let them handle the Magic Circle!"

Hai Tang exclaimed in surprise, "Exactly, that’s what happened! When the Three Great Families heard of it, they immediately joined forces to recruit a large number of Array Masters to decode the Magic Circle!"

"Judging by the timeline, it should be cracked around these days."

Hai Tang said faintly.

Lin Bai said, "No matter where he’s gone, as long as the Shenyu Mountains’ Magic Circle is opened, he will certainly show up and enter the Shenyu Mountains. I don’t believe he’d waste so much time here just to abandon it!"

"Furthermore, I strongly feel that the Ye Jianjun in the Exile Land is his true entity!"

Hai Tang said with fighting spirit, "Don’t worry. When he appears, I’ll help you. I’m no longer that little girl from the Qingling Mountains!"

"I’m now a warrior of the Yangshen Realm, triple stage!"

Hai Tang said, her fighting spirit surging as she smiled confidently at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "You should take care of yourself first. I’ll deal with Ye Jianjun!"

Hai Tang scrunched up her nose and stared fiercely at Lin Bai, saying, "Someday, I’ll spar with you properly and teach you a lesson! Let you see Auntie’s might!"

"Hahaha." Lin Bai was amused by Hai Tang’s fierce demeanor and burst into laughter.

Hai Tang said awkwardly, "What are you laughing at? I’m tougher than you think!"

The more Hai Tang said, the harder Lin Bai laughed.

...

Outside the room, a dozen warriors were chatting about Dongfang Bai.

Only Yang Qingyun kept his eyes fixed on the room, his expression tinged with bitterness and resentment.

"Hahaha!"

Inside, Lin Bai and Hai Tang’s laughter and teasing echoed, giving the impression of a joyful reunion among old friends.

But Yang Qingyun, upon hearing their laughter, couldn’t muster a smile. His face remained cold.

"Qingyun." Gao Lin noticed the coldness on Yang Qingyun’s face and approached, smiling, "Come, have a drink!"

"Drink, my ass!" Yang Qingyun glared at Gao Lin, his heart filled with hatred. If it weren’t for Gao Lin bringing Lin Bai here, how could things have ended up like this!

Gao Lin looked at Yang Qingyun innocently, then smiled dryly and said, "Qingyun, matters of romance are not something you can force."

Yang Qingyun sneered, "Have you ever loved anyone? Have you ever liked anyone? Hmph, a worthless old man who’s spent his entire life alone dares lecture me!"

Gao Lin was angered by Yang Qingyun’s words, and his expression darkened.

"Yang Qingyun, watch your words."

"Exactly! Gao Lin is at least a veteran in our team. Show some respect!"

Other warriors interjected, displeased with Yang Qingyun’s attitude.

Yang Qingyun swept a disdainful look across the crowd, his mood worsened as the laughter inside the room continued unabated. Clenching his fists, he muttered, "Dongfang Bai, just you wait. Whatever I, Yang Qingyun, desire, no one can take it away from me!"

"Now you’re no longer the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate. Even if I kill you, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to me!"

Sneering coldly, Yang Qingyun turned and left the area!

Gao Lin shook his head and let out a faint, bitter smile as he watched Yang Qingyun leave.

Inside the room, Lin Bai and Hai Tang chatted endlessly, talking for seven continuous days and nights!

In those seven days and nights, Lin Bai and Hai Tang unloaded all their troubles and frustrations to each other!

Seven days later, Gao Lin hurriedly arrived outside Hai Tang’s quarters, shouting, "Captain! Captain!"

Lin Bai and Hai Tang paused inside. Hai Tang walked to the door, opened it, and asked, "What’s wrong, Gao Lin?"

Gao Lin said, "News just came in; supposedly, the Three Great Families and other mercenary groups have sent large numbers of warriors into the Exile Land, heading toward the Shenyu Mountains."

Hai Tang hesitated and said, "Could it be that the Shenyu Mountains’ Magic Circle has been decoded?"

At this moment, Lin Bai transformed back into the appearance of Dongfang Bai, stepped out of the room, and said coldly, "The Magic Circle should be decoded!"

Hai Tang said, "Then let’s move as well. Gao Lin, rally all the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group warriors and head to the Shenyu Mountains!"

"Understood!"

Then, Hai Tang led the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group warriors toward the Shenyu Mountains.

Lin Bai accompanied the group, his eyes deep and resolute. Silently, he thought, "Ye Jianjun! The Shenyu Mountains have been unlocked. Where are you hiding now?"

Far from Mercenary City, on a remote mountain peak, a black-clothed swordsman looked in the direction of the Shenyu Mountains, then rose slightly and sped away.
