Chapter 1748: Chapter 1745: Dragon Emperor’s Banquet!

Lin Bai left Tianbao Tower, while Su Xianmei helped Bai Xiaoxiao’s delicate body onto the bed.

Then Su Xianmei took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from her Storage Bag.

Before Su Xianmei could speak, a young boy’s voice sounded from the other end of the Talisman: "Sister Xianmei, what’s up? Why are you looking for me?"

Su Xianmei smiled and said, "Mo Qing, do you know what the Curse of the Dead is?"

The Sound Transmission Talisman in Su Xianmei’s hand was actually a talisman for contacting Mo Qing.

Mo Qing’s voice sounded from the Talisman, "The Curse of the Dead is one of the strange poisons on the Lingnan continent, gathered by Su Wang, the eighteenth Emperor of the Su Dynasty, using the Martial Soul Secret Skill."

"To this day, not a single warrior on the Lingnan continent who has been cursed with the Curse of the Dead has survived!"

"Back in those days, when I came to the Territory of all nations, I accidentally heard of this strange poison. I originally intended to go to the Su Dynasty to investigate, but since the Su Dynasty declared Su Wang dead, I never witnessed the Curse of the Dead!"

"Sister Xianmei, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Could it be that you’ve seen the Curse of the Dead?"

Mo Qing’s voice grew more excited, apparently having a strong interest in the Curse of the Dead.

Su Xianmei also sensed Mo Qing’s interest in his words and lightly chuckled, "Indeed, I have witnessed the Curse of the Dead, and it’s on someone I’m quite close to!"

Mo Qing replied excitedly, "Really?"

Su Xianmei laughed, "Of course it’s true. Why would I deceive you? Mo Qing, where are you now? Do you want to come to the Territory of all nations to have some fun?"

"Since the once-silent and vanishing Curse of the Dead is resurfacing Under Heaven, I naturally have to come and see it. If I miss this opportunity, I fear I might never see such a strange poison again," Mo Qing said excitedly.

"By the way, Sister Xianmei, you said this strange poison is on your friend. Is this friend very important to you?" Mo Qing curiously asked.

Su Xianmei smiled faintly, "Of course very important, and you know this person too..."

Mo Qing curiously asked, "I know him too? The people I know in the Territory of all nations, besides you, are just him... but unfortunately, it seems he’s dead!"

Su Xianmei said, "He’s not dead! But if you come late, he might really be dead!"

Mo Qing got excited again and said, "Sister Su Xianmei, Brother Lin Bai isn’t dead?"

Su Xianmei nodded, "Yes."

Mo Qing said, "Great, I’ll come to the Territory of all nations immediately!"

Su Xianmei said, "When you arrive in the Territory of all nations, come straight to the Qinglong Empire Capital. Arrive before the sixth of August, in order not to miss the significant event!"

"Alright." Mo Qing answered.

The sixth of August is the day of Long Lingxiao’s birthday celebration!

Lin Bai walked weakly out of Tianbao Tower and also took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag, saying faintly, "Chu Jiangliu, immediately lead the Chu Family’s Army back to Shenwu Kingdom!"

A doubtful voice from Chu Jiangliu came from the Talisman, "Sword Prince, why is this? Didn’t the First Princess say..."

Lin Bai said, "The matters of the Azure Dragon Empire have been resolved, Elder Ji Bei has been rescued safely. Lead the army back to Shenwu Kingdom to defend against any desperate counterattacks from the Azure Dragon Empire!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiangliu promptly said, "Understood, sir!"

After Lin Bai finished speaking, he put away the Talisman, took a deep breath, and went towards the inn.

"Since it started because of me, let it end because of me."

Lin Bai returned to the inn, sat cross-legged, and even though he couldn’t use his spiritual power, he still circulated the Five Elements Scripture, adjusting the spiritual power throughout his body to the optimal state!

...

The sixth of August is an important day for the Azure Dragon Empire.

The high-ranking members of the Seventy-two Dynasties and the Seven Major Sects all came to the Imperial City!

On this day, warriors across the Imperial City walked towards the Imperial Palace. Before arriving at the Imperial Palace, warriors of the Seven Major Sects and the Seventy-two Dynasties had already entered the Imperial Palace.

Then came the families of rogue cultivators from the Lingnan continent, and other rogue cultivators, etc.

Xiangyang Gate is a passageway for rogue cultivators into the Qinglong Imperial City!

Lin Bai, wearing a white robe and a cloak over his head, walked silently in the crowd, passing through the passageway set up by the Azure Dragon Empire soldiers, and entered the Qinglong Imperial Palace!

Every year, the Dragon Emperor’s birthday celebration is held in the Qinglong Hall within the Imperial Palace!

The Qinglong Hall is a place specially built by the Dragon Emperor to celebrate his birthday. It is extremely vast, and the Great Hall inside can accommodate tens of thousands, while outside the Hall, there is a plaza capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands!

And on the periphery of the Qinglong Hall, there is a massive banquet that can host millions!

Those who can attend the Dragon Emperor’s birthday celebration are without exception the prodigies of the Lingnan continent, or the Emperors of Dynasties, or even the Sect Leaders of the Seven Major Sects!

The Emperors of the Seventy-two Dynasties and the Sect Leaders of the Seven Major Sects generally take their seats within the Qinglong Hall!

While other itinerant cultivator families and warriors of the Yangshen Realm mostly take seats outside the Qinglong Hall on the plaza.

Only those warriors in the Flying Sky Realm and other inconsequential folks who come to congratulate on the birthday celebration, pay their respects outside the Qinglong Hall!

When Lin Bai entered the Imperial City from Xiangyang Gate, he revealed his cultivation of the Yangshen Realm. Despite claiming to be a rogue cultivator, Lin Bai could still enter the Qinglong Hall plaza.

Inside the Qinglong Hall.

Su Cang and Long Batian watched the plaza, as countless warriors of the Yangshen Realm and disciples from other great families walked in, and said lightly, "Su Cang, I hope your plan succeeds!"

Su Cang sneered, "Rest assured, Prince, he will definitely return!"

Long Batian smiled slightly, "Once we’ve captured Lin Bai and obtained the whereabouts of the fragment on him, the Azure Dragon Empire will break out of this small territory of all nations and become the hegemon on the East Continent. By then, you will also receive many rewards."

Su Cang laughed, "Then I shall thank the Prince in advance here."

Long Batian laughed, "Alright, the birthday celebration is about to start. Go check on Ji Bei!"

"Yes," Su Cang responded.

Immediately, Su Cang left Qinglong Hall and headed towards a nearby palace guarded by the Qinglong War God Camp, the ace legion of the Azure Dragon Empire!

Inside the Great Hall, there was a rusty iron cage, and within it was an old man, covered in wounds, disheveled, and at death’s door!

"Elder Ji Bei, long time no see!" Su Cang laughed as he walked in.

The old man in the iron cage slowly raised his head, beneath his tangled hair, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. Seeing Su Cang, his fists clenched involuntarily, and he roared angrily, "Su Cang! May you die a miserable death!"

Su Cang laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Elder Ji Bei, even at this point, your words are no less harsh. Once I lure Lin Bai out today, I’ll send you on your way!"

"Otherwise, if you beg me, maybe after killing Lin Bai, I might show mercy and spare your life!"

"In your dreams! Don’t take Lin Bai for a fool, he won’t come!" Ji Bei said coldly, "As long as Lin Bai lives, the Spirit Sword Sect will never perish. Just wait, one day, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect will avenge you all!"

Su Cang smiled without agreeing or disagreeing, "Then I’ll just wait for it, hahaha! I truly want to see how the wandering souls of the Spirit Sword Sect intend to avenge me, haha!"

With wanton laughter, Su Cang walked out of the Great Hall.

Elder Ji Bei in the iron cage, full of anger, murmured somberly, "Lin Bai! You must not come, do not fall into their trap!"

"As long as you survive, our Spirit Sword Sect will not be extinguished!"
