The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1744 - 1741: The Storm is Brewing!

Chapter 1744: Chapter 1741: The Storm is Brewing!

Lin Bai lay weakly on the bed, his mind still pondering the way to lift the Curse of the Dead.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao walked in.

"Have you found a solution during these busy days?" Lin Bai asked with a light smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled broadly and said, "Of course, the Shenwu Kingdom is no longer that marginal country of Lingdong. Now, the Territories of Shenwu Kingdom are even more extensive than the Azure Dragon Empire, full of talented people. To detoxify you, it’s a piece of cake."

Bai Xiaoxiao sat down by the bed, smiling as she spoke.

These words were clearly meant to comfort Lin Bai, as she had just learned from the Golden Palace and the imperial physicians that the toxin of the Curse of the Dead was incurable.

But she could never tell Lin Bai that the poison was incurable!

Lin Bai chuckled, "Xiaoxiao, you know I know you too well. The moment you speak, I know whether you’re lying or telling the truth!"

"Enough, you don’t have to comfort me."

"Life and Death are determined by fate!"

"For someone like me, with so much blood on my hands, it’s only natural that if I can kill, others can kill me too. I’ve long prepared for this day to come!"

Lin Bai said with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t hold back her tears, and she said, "I won’t let anything happen to you! You said you’ve suppressed most of the power of the Curse of the Dead with the Power of the Giant God!"

"As long as you don’t clash with others, don’t use Spiritual Power, the power of the Giant God can always suppress the Curse of the Dead, and you can live for another six months or even longer!"

"Even if we can’t find a cure on the Lingnan Continent, I’ll take you to the East Continent!"

"If we can’t find it in the East Continent, we’ll go to the Central Holy Nation!"

"I can’t believe that in such a vast world, full of miracles in the Martial World, there isn’t a single healer who can cure this poison!"

Bai Xiaoxiao said resolutely and coldly.

"By the way, can’t the Devouring Sword Spirit resolve this poison?" Bai Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "The Devouring Sword Spirit can devour everything Under Heaven, enhancing the purity of Spiritual Power and vitality, but it can also enhance the purity of toxins!"

"Once I use the Devouring Sword Spirit to absorb the Curse of the Dead, not only will it fail to eliminate the curse, but the Devouring Sword Spirit will refine it into an even more potent poison!"

"Poison has always been the nemesis of the Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai’s eyes dimmed, recalling the time at the Spirit Sword Sect when Ling Tianzi repeatedly told him not to use the Devouring Sword Spirit to absorb poisonous substances!

And back then, Lin Bai knew that the nemesis of the Devouring Sword Spirit was indeed poison!

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow: devouring Spiritual Power can enhance Lin Bai’s cultivation, but devouring poison can also poison him!

The Burial God Curse of the Giant God Clan works on this principle; it was the countermeasure the Giant God Clan devised against the Sky-swallowing Clan, in other words, it’s a powerful poison. If a member of the Sky-swallowing Clan forcibly devours it, they’d be killed by the Burial God Curse.

And if they don’t devour it, the Burial God Curse would give birth to a Blood Fiend, hunting down the Sky-swallowing Clan!

"Don’t worry, I’m here." Bai Xiaoxiao held Lin Bai’s hand, saying, "Even if in the end, I can’t help you neutralize the Curse of the Dead’s poison."

"I’ll avenge your enemies for you!"

"I’ll destroy the Azure Dragon Empire for you!"

"I’ll find your parents for you!"

Bai Xiaoxiao asserted firmly.

Lin Bai smiled faintly, without refuting it, and said, "You speak as if you’re bidding me farewell. Don’t say foolish things. I’ve suppressed the Curse of the Dead’s power with the Power of the Giant God. As long as I don’t take action or use Spiritual Power, I can live for at least six more months!"

"During these six months, I will definitely find a way to resolve the Curse of the Dead!"

Lin Bai said with a serene smile.

"Alright, I’ll be with you!" Bai Xiaoxiao said.

Lin Bai nodded silently. In the subsequent time, Chu Jiangliu visited Lin Bai multiple times, but each time after seeing Lin Bai, Chu Jiangliu, a man of steel, could not help but shed tears.

A month passed.

In the Golden Palace of the Shenwu Kingdom, the civil and military officials stood.

"What’s going on?"

"Is Emperor Xiao not coming today again?"

"It’s been a month and a half, and Emperor Xiao hasn’t shown up..."

"Not only Emperor Xiao but even Prince Chu has not come."

"Imperial Master, you are close to Emperor Xiao; do you know what Emperor Xiao is up to?"

The civil and military officials were all asking at this moment.

Shang Lang smiled slightly, shook his head, and didn’t say a word!

But Shang Lang knew in his heart that something major must have happened in the Imperial Palace, which made Emperor Xiao, a ruler determined to unite the world, unwilling to attend court.

In the palace’s rear garden.

Bai Xiaoxiao took off her imperial robes, donned a white robe, and assisted Lin Bai on a walk in the garden!

"Your Majesty, Prince Chu is outside seeking an audience."

At this time, a eunuch came to Bai Xiaoxiao’s side to announce.

Lin Bai, sitting on a stone bench in the garden, smiled and said, "Go ahead, Chu Jiangliu coming to you at this time must mean something big. Don’t worry about me, I’ll wait here for you."

"Alright, I’ll be back soon!" Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and instructed others to take good care of Lin Bai.

Afterward, Bai Xiaoxiao went out of the garden. Chu Jiangliu stared blankly at the frail white-robed man, his eyes full of reluctance, his tears almost falling again!

"Jiangliu, what’s the matter?" asked Bai Xiaoxiao as she approached.

Chu Jiangliu said, "First Princess, the Chu Family’s Army of a million troops is ready to head to the Su Dynasty."

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "I give you a month; uproot the Su Dynasty for me! Turn the Su Dynasty inside out, and find every antidote related to the Curse of the Dead inside the dynasty for me!"

"As you command!" Chu Jiangliu replied, cupping his fists.

Despite Bai Xiaoxiao staying at Lin Bai’s side over the past month, she had not stopped, secretly instructing Chu Jiangliu to prepare the army for action against the Su Dynasty!

The Shenwu Kingdom had just arrived in Lingnan, and it wasn’t the right time to move against the Su Dynasty. However, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t wait any longer.

The poison in Lin Bai couldn’t be contained for that long.

Chu Jiangliu looked at Lin Bai and said, "The Sword Prince grows weaker by the day; the poison in him makes him unable even to stand?"

Bai Xiaoxiao, feeling the pain as well, said, "Go, Chu Jiangliu, commence the march in three days!"

"Yes." Chu Jiangliu cupped his fists and bowed.

Chu Jiangliu said, "Additionally, there’s one more thing..."

Bai Xiaoxiao, seeing Chu Jiangliu’s solemn expression, asked curiously, "What is it?"

Chu Jiangliu took a deep breath and said, "A month ago, word came from Lingdong that something happened at the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"What!" Bai Xiaoxiao exclaimed, looking dumbfounded at Chu Jiangliu!
