Chapter 1747: Chapter 1744: Meeting Su Xianmei Again!

Azure Dragon Empire, Imperial Capital!

Starting from a month ago, a massive influx of powerful figures has surged into the entire Imperial Capital. Warriors of the Yin Saint Realm can be seen everywhere on the streets, and there are even strong ones from the Yangshen Realm!

In an inn, Lin Bai stood weakly by the window, looking down at the bustling streets of the Azure Dragon Empire filled with warriors. His expression was somber, and ever since he heard that Ji Bei was captured by the Azure Dragon Empire, the murderous intent on his face had not faded.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao, wearing a white veil, pushed the door open and entered the room. She said lightly, "I’ve already inquired clearly. This time, on the birthday celebration of Long Lingxiao from the Azure Dragon Empire, they have invited the emperors of the Seventy-two Dynasties and the leaders of the Seven Major Sects!"

"The emperors of the Seventy-two Dynasties have basically all arrived, and recently, Shenwu Kingdom, as a newly ranked member of the Seventy-two Dynasties, also received an invitation!"

"As for the leaders of the Seven Major Sects, the Sect Leader of the Saint Seal Sect has already arrived in the Imperial Capital, and the elders of the other sects are on their way."

"It is rumored that even the Sword Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, who never comes to the Azure Dragon Empire, has personally come this time!"

"It’s no exaggeration to say that this can be considered a grand gathering of the high-ranking figures of the Seventy-two Dynasties and Seven Major Sects on the Lingnan Continent. Virtually all prominent figures on Lingnan will be present."

Bai Xiaoxiao stood beside Lin Bai and spoke softly.

Lin Bai could hear the deep concern in Bai Xiaoxiao’s words.

Especially knowing that among the emperors and leaders of these sects, roughly half of them have grievances with Lin Bai.

The Luotian Sect, Fenxin Sect, and Saint Seal Sect are among those having deep vendettas with Lin Bai!

Within the Seventy-two Dynasties, several dynasties also have minor grudges with Lin Bai. If it comes to taking action, they wouldn’t mind destroying Lin Bai while aiding the Azure Dragon Empire!

"And what about Elder Ji Bei?" Lin Bai was not concerned at all about how many strong ones from the Seven Major Sects and Seventy-two Dynasties had come. His current concern was solely the life or death of Ji Bei!

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Currently, inside the Azure Dragon Empire, there’s extra attention being given to Ji Bei. Certain forces in Tianbao Tower and inside the Imperial City are looking into Ji Bei’s whereabouts as well."

"However, according to Tianbao Tower, after Ji Bei was captured inside the Azure Dragon Empire, he was taken over by the ’Azure Dragon War God Camp’, the elite corps of the empire. He is now guarded by a hundred thousand soldiers from the War God Camp, making rescue impossible."

"Furthermore, it’s still unknown where exactly Ji Bei is being held by the Azure Dragon War God Camp."

"It seems Long Lingxiao intends to bring Ji Bei out only on the day of the birthday celebration."

Bai Xiaoxiao said.

Originally, Bai Xiaoxiao planned, after arriving in the Imperial Capital with Lin Bai, to discreetly rescue Ji Bei. However, upon reaching the city, she realized that only Long Lingxiao knew Ji Bei’s exact location, and even the supposedly all-knowing Tianbao Tower couldn’t find it.

"It seems Tianbao Tower is giving me a warning..." Lin Bai said calmly.

Bai Xiaoxiao asked, "Why?"

Lin Bai replied, "The fact that Tianbao Tower released the information that Ji Bei was taken over by the soldiers of the Azure Dragon War God Camp clearly means they’re advising me not to act recklessly!"

Bai Xiaoxiao curiously asked, "Is it Su Xianmei?"

Lin Bai said, "It should be her. I guess she has already arrived in the Imperial City!"

"By spreading this news, she wants me to find her!"

"Let’s go; she’s waiting for us."

Lin Bai said weakly.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, then supported Lin Bai as they walked out of the inn. Shortly after, the two arrived at the largest branch of Tianbao Tower inside the Azure Dragon Empire Imperial Capital.

After stating their purpose, a maid led Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao up to the secret chamber of Tianbao Tower!

In the secret chamber, a woman wearing a fiery red cheongsam, upon seeing Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao walk in, immediates said coldly, "Lin Bai, don’t be impulsive. This isn’t a game!"

Being an Envoy of Tianbao Tower, Su Xianmei’s intelligence network covers the entire Territory of all nations, and she is well-versed in any happenings within it.

Su Xianmei had mentioned before that she knew almost everyone closely associated with Lin Bai.

Su Xianmei naturally understood Ji Bei’s importance to Lin Bai.

"I’m not here to fool around either." Lin Bai said coldly.

Su Xianmei looked at Lin Bai’s pale face and weak demeanor, asking, "What’s wrong with you? Why are you so weak?"

Su Xianmei hurried over, grabbed Lin Bai’s wrist, and asked tensely. The moment she touched Lin Bai’s wrist, she sensed a poison circulating within him!

"You’re poisoned? What poison?"

Su Xianmei asked.

"Curse of the Dead!" Lin Bai said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Su Xianmei’s expression darkened as she said, "That old fool Su Wang!"

Lin Bai shook his head with a bitter smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao then said, "I have already looked into this Curse of the Dead; there isn’t an antidote available on the Lingnan Continent. Fortunately, Lin Bai has suppressed it with his power. As long as he doesn’t use his spiritual power or fight, the suppression balance won’t break."

"But once he engages in combat or uses spiritual power, the balance breaks, and the curse’s power will devour all of Lin Bai’s flesh and blood!"

Bai Xiaoxiao told Su Xianmei these things, evidently wanting Su Xianmei to persuade Lin Bai.

Su Xianmei exchanged a glance with Bai Xiaoxiao and said, "Don’t get involved in Ji Bei’s matter. After discussing with Bai Xiaoxiao, I’ll help you rescue Ji Bei!"

Lin Bai said, "Sister Su, the reason I came here to find you is actually to talk about this matter..."

"I’ve already dragged many people into this, and I don’t want you to be implicated as well!"

"I’ve come today to ask you to take care of Xiaoxiao for me."

Lin Bai said while looking at Su Xianmei.

Su Xianmei stared at Lin Bai, a hint of surprise in her expression.

Bai Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Lin Bai, what are you saying?"

Lin Bai tenderly glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, activated his spiritual power, and struck her on the back of the neck, sealing her six senses with his energy.

Instantly, Bai Xiaoxiao slumped into Lin Bai’s arms.

However, due to Lin Bai’s action, the power of the Curse of the Dead increased, causing more of his flesh to decay.

Su Xianmei, seeing Bai Xiaoxiao unconscious in Lin Bai’s arms, asked, "Why did you do this?"

Lin Bai said, "I know that in my current state, traveling from the Feiyun Dynasty to the Azure Dragon Empire, I might not even make it to the empire before the curse kills me along the way."

"I had no choice but to have Xiaoxiao bring me here."

"But I am well aware that the birthday celebration of Long Lingxiao will be a Dragon Pool and Tiger’s Den, a Nine Deaths One Life situation... if I, Lin Bai, were to die, then so be it. I don’t want to drag anyone else down, much less Xiaoxiao..."

"Sister Su, please take care of Xiaoxiao for me!"

Lin Bai said softly.

Su Xianmei said seriously to Lin Bai, "I still want to persuade you not to go; even Elder Ji Bei, knowing this, wouldn’t want you to risk yourself to save him."

Lin Bai said, "I must go! It’s not just for Elder Ji Bei, but also for the thousands of innocent disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect who lost their lives!"

Su Xianmei said, "Long Lingxiao is surely setting a Dragon Pool and Tiger’s Den. If you go, you will surely die! Do you still want to go?"

Lin Bai resolutely said, "I have to go!"

After speaking, Lin Bai weakly walked out of Tianbao Tower.

Su Xianmei did not stop Lin Bai because she knew she couldn’t stop him!
