The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1734 - 1731: The Feiyun Dynasty Changes Hands!

Chapter 1734: Chapter 1731: The Feiyun Dynasty Changes Hands!

After Lin Bai heard the news of the change of rule in the Feiyun Dynasty, even his hand holding the wine jug paused slightly.

The maid noticed the hint of surprise on Lin Bai’s face. Seeing his interest in the change of rule in the Feiyun Dynasty, she said, "Master, even a few months ago, there were already signs that the Feiyun Dynasty would change hands."

"Back then, the strong members of the royal family within the Feiyun Dynasty were killed one after another. To deal with this, the Feiyun Dynasty even secretly sent warriors to the Su Dynasty for help. Unfortunately, those warriors were assassinated by a group of mysterious people before they could leave the imperial capital of the Feiyun Dynasty."

"Seven days ago, Jiangshan Tower received news that the royal family of the Feiyun Dynasty had submitted to a woman named Emperor Xiao, voluntarily acknowledging her as their ruler. On her first day in the Feiyun Dynasty, Emperor Xiao changed the country’s name to Shenwu Kingdom!"

"With the change of the country name, it seems the rule of the Feiyun Dynasty has truly ended."

Lin Bai slightly nodded at the maid’s words.

The maid continued, "Speaking of this Emperor Xiao, she was originally named Bai Xiaoxiao and was a princess from a small declining country in the Lingdong Region."

"But four years ago, during the chaos in Lingdong, the Five Poison Sect rose and waged war on the Miracle Ridge. At that time, an extraordinary sword cultivator emerged, destroying the earth-shattering schemes of the Five Poison Sect and uprooting it completely."

"And this Emperor Xiao turned out to be the confidante of that monstrous sword cultivator."

"The Five Poison Sect caused chaos among the countries in Lingdong. After their earth-shattering schemes were shattered by the monstrous sword cultivator, Emperor Xiao rose to power, unifying Lingdong in just a single year. It was truly a breathtaking feat for the ages!"

"After unifying Lingdong, the power of Shenwu Kingdom and Emperor Xiao became revered throughout both the Lingdong Region and the Miracle Ridge!"

"Subsequently, on the Miracle Ridge, that monstrous sword cultivator once again displayed his sharp talents. An intense battle took place there, and it’s said that traces of strong warriors from Lingnan were present, but the news was blocked!"

"After the battle on the Miracle Ridge, that monstrous sword cultivator perished, and nearly all high-level members of the Miracle Ridge were either dead or wounded. Emperor Xiao then directly took over the Miracle Ridge, incorporating it into the territories of the Shenwu Kingdom!"

"From that point on, the entire Miracle Ridge and the Lingdong Region came under the control of the Shenwu Kingdom and Emperor Xiao!"

"At that time, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Emperor Xiao and her Shenwu Kingdom could be considered the seventy-third dynasty in the territory of all nations!"

"After lying low for a few years, it seems this Emperor Xiao could not remain idle and took action once again. Initially, we at Jiangshan Tower speculated that the Shenwu Kingdom might raise an army to invade, engaging in a bloody war with the Feiyun Dynasty!"

"Yet unexpectedly, this Emperor Xiao quietly and bloodlessly toppled a dynasty that had stood on the Lingnan Continent for thousands of years."

Lin Bai maintained a calm expression, showing no reaction to the maid’s words.

The maid continued saying, "Now Emperor Xiao has officially become the Emperor of one of the Seventy-two Dynasties of Lingnan. Coupled with her control over the Miracle Ridge and the Lingdong Region, it’s not an exaggeration to say she now presides over the broadest territory and the largest number of warriors of any dynasty on the Lingnan Continent!"

"Even the territory of the Azure Dragon Empire probably amounts to merely a third of that of Emperor Xiao’s Shenwu Kingdom!"

Lin Bai slightly nodded.

The maid chuckled, "Truth be told, Emperor Xiao owes her rapid rise to her confidant, the monstrous sword cultivator from Lingdong!"

"Monstrous sword cultivator?" Lin Bai smiled slightly.

The maid laughed, "Indeed, that monstrous sword cultivator, known as Lin Bai, is Emperor Xiao’s husband and the Iron Blood Sword King of the Shenwu Kingdom."

"Were it not for this monstrous sword cultivator’s actions in destroying the Five Poison Sect and conquering the Miracle Ridge, laying a solid foundation for Emperor Xiao’s Shenwu Kingdom, how else could the Shenwu Kingdom have risen from a small declining country in Lingdong to become one of the Seventy-two Dynasties of Lingnan in just four years?"

"It’s a pity that this monstrous sword cultivator has already perished on the Miracle Ridge!"

"Had he made it to Lingnan, he would surely have become a monster-level genius, rivaling Yejian Jun, Lin Anyang, Dongfang Bai, Lin Luo, and even the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Master Sword Venerate!"

Hearing this, Lin Bai lifted his hand, took a sip of wine, with a stern face and nostalgic eyes, recalling his past in Lingdong and on the Miracle Ridge, eventually letting out a faint smile.

"Alright, thank you for telling me so much about the Shenwu Kingdom and Emperor Xiao. This is for you as a reward." With another lift of his hand, a storage bag flew out, containing a hundred million spiritual stones, which fell into the maid’s hands.

The maid was overwhelmed with joy, her face full of excitement.

These spiritual stones were acquired by Lin Bai from defeating numerous strong ones, especially from the likes of Zhao Hansheng, Dong Qian, and Su Lihai, whose storage bags contained unimaginable amounts of spiritual stones.

After arriving at Jiangshan Tower, Lin Bai did an initial tally and found his storage bag now had over two billion spiritual stones!

Although warriors at the Yin Saint and Yangshen Realm are considered strong on the Lingnan Continent,

a Yin Saint Realm warrior might accumulate no more than five hundred million spiritual stones in a lifetime.

Similarly, a Yangshen Realm warrior’s lifetime savings would reach at most a billion spiritual stones.

Yet, Lin Bai had over two billion spiritual stones on his person—an amount comparable to a Life-and-Death Realm strong one!

Moreover, Lin Bai also possessed many treasures, such as the King-level spiritual artifact Long Stick, the Eternal Sand, and the Destiny Stone. Any one of these, once revealed, would drive the world into frenzy!

Furthermore, due to Lin Bai’s possession of the Devouring Sword Spirit, which allows him to refine the power of aura and blood to enhance his cultivation, he doesn’t need to purchase Elixir Pills with spiritual stones to improve his cultivation like other warriors.

Therefore, the spiritual stones in Lin Bai’s storage bag are of little use to him!

"I’m tired. I’ll go back to rest now. Prepare the map I requested quickly," Lin Bai said indifferently, standing up from his seat and heading toward his room.

The maid hurriedly responded, "I will deliver it to you shortly, Master!"

"Mm," Lin Bai replied, without turning, and returned to his quarters.

Once home, Lin Bai sat cross-legged, a smile tugging at his lips, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I’ve underestimated you! I didn’t expect you’d truly enter the Seventy-two Dynasties of Lingnan without shedding a single drop of blood!"

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Bai retrieved the Ice Blood Ginseng from his storage bag, saying, "I wonder if this Ice Blood Ginseng can help me break into the fifth level of the Yangshen Realm!"

Lin Bai’s gaze turned resolute as he channeled the Devouring Sword Spirit, slowly refining the power within the Ice Blood Ginseng!

Two hours later, the Ice Blood Ginseng in Lin Bai’s hand began to crack before exploding into a shower of dust and ash, slipping through Lin Bai’s fingers!

At this moment, Lin Bai silently opened his eyes, looking at the ashes of the Ice Blood Ginseng in his hand, and calmly said, "Still a little short. In the end, one Ice Blood Ginseng was not enough to elevate me to the fifth level of the Yangshen Realm!"
