Chapter 1746: Chapter 1743: Wind Rise and Clouds Surge! (5 updates)

In another month, it will be Long Lingxiao’s birthday.

As the current emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire, the strongest dynasty on the Lingnan Continent, his birthday is a grand event every year. At that time, countless warriors will head to the Qinglong Imperial City to pay their respects to Long Lingxiao!

The Seven Major Sects and the Seventy-two Dynasties will be no exception, with high-ranking figures from the sects and dynasties almost all going!

Even the Holy Kingdom of Thousands Demons, which is hostile to the Human Clan, will send experts to congratulate him!

On Long Lingxiao’s birthday, many celebrations will be held. Among them is a martial arts competition, and the participants will include imperial clan disciples from the Seventy-two Dynasties, disciples from the Seven Major Sects, and wandering cultivators from the Lingnan Continent!

Although it’s a martial arts competition for entertainment, if the prominent figures from the Seventy-two Dynasties and the Seven Major Sects show their presence, they are bound to be courted by many forces. Therefore, every Long Lingxiao birthday celebration is extremely lively!

Besides the much-anticipated martial arts competition at this Long Lingxiao birthday celebration, an additional highlight is the public execution of a warrior named Ji Bei!

This has left the warriors on the Lingnan Continent puzzled.

"What exactly is the Azure Dragon Empire up to?"

"That warrior named Ji Bei, in the end, is just a warrior who has barely stepped into the first level of the Flying Sky Realm. How come the Azure Dragon Empire is putting so much emphasis on publicly executing him?"

"You don’t know, do you? A few years ago, the Crown Prince of the Azure Dragon Empire, Longqing Feng, died mysteriously outside! And this warrior named Ji Bei was the elder of the sect of the person who killed Longqing Feng back then!"

"So that’s it!"

"..."

This news is spreading throughout the Azure Dragon Empire and even the Lingnan Continent.

Longqing Feng’s death caused quite a stir inside the Azure Dragon Empire at that time!

Inside the Azure Dragon Empire, in the Golden Palace.

Long Lingxiao asked indifferently, "Has the news been spread out?"

Long Batian smiled and said, "Rest assured, Imperial Brother, this news has already spread across the Lingnan Continent. If Dongfang Bai is really Lin Bai, he will definitely come!"

Su Cang also smiled and said, "Dragon Emperor, Prince Long Batian, rest assured. Dongfang Bai is indeed Lin Bai, that’s a fact!"

"Moreover, not only have we captured Ji Bei, but Prince Long Batian and I have also annihilated the Spirit Sword Sect. If Lin Bai hears this news, hehe, he will probably be so furious that he will have to come!"

Taking a deep breath, Long Lingxiao said, "Very well, then we shall wait for him to come to us!"

Long Lingxiao sat on the Dragon Throne, his eyes brooding with a penetrating light.

In Purple Gold City.

Su Yanhua hurried to the depths of Purple Gold City, found Xun Zhizang, and said, "Brother Xun, have you heard the news? The Azure Dragon Empire has destroyed the Spirit Sword Sect and captured Ji Bei alive!"

Xun Zhizang replied with a cold expression, "I heard it."

Su Yanhua angrily said, "It seems they have already deduced that Dongfang Bai is Lin Bai, and now they have captured Ji Bei and even announced they will publicly execute him on Long Lingxiao’s birthday. It’s truly despicable."

Xun Zhizang sneered, "Hmph, since when has Long Lingxiao not been despicable?"

Su Yanhua coldly snorted, "That’s right, that scoundrel!"

Xun Zhizang said, "It seems this time the Azure Dragon Empire’s aim is not Ji Bei, but rather to use Ji Bei to lure Lin Bai over!"

Su Yanhua said, "Then we must be cautious!"

Xun Zhizang said, "But our identities are too special. If we appear in front of Long Lingxiao, with Long Lingxiao’s treacherous ways, all our plans might be exposed!"

"Therefore, we cannot intervene in this matter!"

"The best would be if Lin Bai can resolve this matter on his own!"

Su Yanhua said grimly, "But we can’t just sit and wait for death either. Since the Azure Dragon Empire dares to lure Lin Bai over, they must have laid a Heavenly Spider Web, making it impossible for Lin Bai to survive!"

Xun Zhizang said, "Indeed, we can’t sit idly by. If it comes to a critical moment, we will still need to take action."

"First, let Su Xianmei find Lin Bai and tell him not to act impulsively!"

Su Yanhua said, "As soon as I heard about Ji Bei, I immediately informed Xian Mei. She is now using Tianbao Tower’s power to search for Lin Bai’s whereabouts on the Lingnan Continent."

Xun Zhizang said, "That’s for the best. We’ve been hiding for half our lives. If Long Lingxiao dares to come hard, we’ll give him a taste of his own medicine!"

As they spoke, Xun Zhizang and Su Yanhua left Purple Gold City together, their destination unknown.

Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

In the Sword Master Hall, the Sect Leader Sword Master frowned and muttered, "What is the Azure Dragon Empire planning? Long Lingxiao is planning to publicly execute a warrior named Ji Bei on his birthday."

"Who is this Ji Bei? Which sect in the Lingnan Continent is he a disciple of?"

asked the Sect Leader Sword Master.

Gui Jing said, "Sword Master, I have already investigated. This Ji Bei is not a warrior from the Lingnan Continent; he is actually a warrior from a minor sect in Lingdong, and his cultivation is only at the first level of the Flying Sky Realm."

The Sect Leader Sword Master asked quizzically, "How can a mere warrior at the first level of the Flying Sky Realm hold such significance to the Azure Dragon Empire that they want to publicly execute him? It’s too strange."

Gui Jing also looked puzzled.

After a long contemplation, the Sect Leader Sword Master said, "I feel this matter is not as simple as it seems. What does the Azure Dragon Empire intend to do with Ji Bei? Why make such a grand gesture to take action?"

Gui Jing, equally confused, said, "I don’t understand either."

The Sect Leader Sword Master said, "I have a feeling this matter is related to Dongfang Bai."

Thud—

Hearing the Sect Leader Sword Master’s words, Gui Jing’s eyes flickered, and he said, "Sword Master, are you suggesting...that the Azure Dragon Empire intends to use Ji Bei to lure Dongfang Bai into their trap?"

The Sect Leader Sword Master said coldly, "If the Azure Dragon Empire is indeed targeting Dongfang Bai, and Dongfang Bai has a significant relationship with Ji Bei, then Dongfang Bai will inevitably fall into the trap set by the Azure Dragon Empire. At that time, Dongfang Bai might face a Nine Deaths One Life situation!"

"Gui Jing, immediately send a message to Sui An, instructing him to spare no effort in finding Dongfang Bai. Have him ascertain whether Dongfang Bai has any relationship with Ji Bei, and if so, make sure he doesn’t go to the Azure Dragon Empire!"

Gui Jing nodded and said, "Understood!"

"But Sword Master, if Dongfang Bai really intends to go to the Azure Dragon Empire, what should we do?"

The Sect Leader Sword Master said with a cold expression, "Have this year’s invitation from the Azure Dragon Empire arrived?"

Gui Jing said, "It’s already arrived. According to the rules of previous years, on the Dragon Emperor’s birthday, each major sect and dynasty must send two-thirds of their strong ones to offer congratulations, as a sign of respect!"

"And in previous years, the Sect Leader Sword Master was always in seclusion, so it was Elder Sui An who represented the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

The Sect Leader Sword Master said, "Then this year, I will personally make the trip!"

Gui Jing said in surprise, "Sword Master, you’re going personally?"

"Yes!" The Sect Leader Sword Master nodded solemnly.

...

Outside the territory of the Lingnan Divine Martial Kingdom, the massive Chu Family’s Army swept across the Lingnan Continent, with a million troops heading towards the Azure Dragon Empire.

In the Exile Land, a wild woman clad in leather armor, wielding a flaming spear, boldly headed for the Azure Dragon Empire.

Adjacent to the Territory of all nations is a domain named "Xuantian Domain."

Xuantian Domain is one of the Ten Thousand Domains of the East Continent, but its strength surpasses that of the Territory of all nations. The cultivation resources and warrior cultivation realms within the domain are far greater than those of the Territory of all nations!

At this moment, from the Xuantian Domain, a white-robed man walked out. He wore a white hood and approached the border of the Territory of all nations, slowly removing the hood to reveal a weary, weathered face.

He murmured, "Territory of all nations, I have returned!"

Ps: Dear friends, the second volume "Bloodbath in Lingnan" is nearing its end, and the third volume will begin soon.

Guess who this white-robed man returning from the Xuantian Domain is?

Will he be the key to unraveling the Curse of the Dead?
