The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1804 - 1801: Demon Bone Mountain!

Chapter 1804: Chapter 1801: Demon Bone Mountain!

On the outskirts of the Demon Bone Mountain Range, beside a small stream, there was a row of neatly arranged small bamboo huts. At this moment, Lin Bai and Gu Yuan were walking towards these bamboo huts.

From a distance, Lin Bai could see many disciples coming and going around the bamboo huts. Their cultivation levels were not high, only at the Yin Saint Realm and the Flying Sky Realm.

They were all disciples of the Xuantian Sect, sent to be stationed here for a long term, rotating once a year. Of course, the Xuantian Sect would not mistreat them. After being stationed here for a year, they would receive exceptionally generous rewards upon returning to the sect.

Their main purpose for being stationed here was to observe the movements within the Demon Bone Mountain Range. If there was any disturbance inside, they would notify the Xuantian Sect immediately.

Another purpose was to provide the inner disciples sent by the Xuantian Sect with a large amount of information and details about anomalies within the Demon Bone Mountain Range during their reconnaissance.

A short time ago, these stationed Xuantian Sect disciples sent a message to the sect, reporting anomalies in the Demon Bone Mountain Range. Hence, the Xuantian Sect dispatched Jian Xuan and others to investigate.

Inside this row of bamboo huts, an old man spotted Lin Bai and Gu Yuan from afar. He squinted his eyes, then showed a surprised expression before hurriedly flying over to greet Lin Bai and Gu Yuan, shouting, "Disciple Guo Fan greets Senior Brother Gu Yuan!"

This warrior named Guo Fan had been stationed in the Demon Bone Mountain Range for over a decade. Due to his lack of talent, even returning to the Xuantian Sect would not allow further advancement in cultivation.

However, because he was stationed here for so long, the Xuantian Sect placed greater value on his family.

"No need for formalities, Old Man Guo. This is my Junior Brother Lin Bai, who has come with me," Gu Yuan said casually. "Old Man Guo, I suddenly received a distress message this morning from the disciples exploring the Demon Bone Mountain Range. I wonder what happened exactly."

"Do you have any clues?"

Guo Fan was stunned upon hearing this, surprised, he said, "What! The disciples who came to investigate are in danger? This old man is unaware!"

Gu Yuan frowned and said, "Then where exactly did they go to investigate?"

Guo Fan’s eyes trembled upon hearing this question, and he said, "Skeleton Abyss!"

"Hiss——"

Gu Yuan’s face changed dramatically upon hearing these words. Lin Bai could clearly sense the spiritual power within Gu Yuan react, as if startled by this place!

At this moment, Lin Bai also seemed to understand that this so-called Skeleton Abyss did not seem like a good place.

Guo Fan continued, "Senior Brother Gu Yuan, don’t be nervous. Although that place is near Skeleton Abyss, it is still quite a distance away, so there shouldn’t be too much danger."

Gu Yuan said, "Alright, we will search around the Skeleton Abyss for them. Thank you, Old Man Guo!"

Guo Fan chuckled and said, "No problem, no problem, it’s just what I should be doing." _{fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m}

Gu Yuan nodded, and led Lin Bai straight towards the Skeleton Abyss.

"Farewell, Senior Brother Gu Yuan," Guo Fan said with a fist-palm salute.

Watching Gu Yuan leave, the warriors inside the bamboo huts dared to approach, and as they saw Gu Yuan leaving, they said calmly, "Senior Brother Guo Fan, who are those two? I’ve never seen you show such respect."

Guo Fan took a deep breath and said, "Him? Haha, he’s Gu Yuan, one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents!"

"He’s actually one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents!" the group of warriors exclaimed. It is known that in the Xuantian Sect the hierarchy is strict, and warriors like themselves in the Flying Sky Realm would never have the chance to meet such disciples as the Xuantian Top Ten Talents!

Guo Fan chuckled, "So many formidable individuals have come to the Demon Bone Mountain Range this time. A few days ago, Dingwu Lai and Ye Xiao, Ye Xun and others just went in, and now even one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents has arrived."

"Indeed..."

The warriors inside the bamboo huts were particularly excited after seeing Gu Yuan.

Lin Bai and Gu Yuan soared into the air, heading straight into the depths of the Demon Bone Mountain Range.

While flying in mid-air, Lin Bai asked Gu Yuan, "Senior Brother Gu Yuan, what exactly is this Skeleton Abyss?"

Gu Yuan said, "Junior Brother Lin Bai, do you remember what I mentioned before? After the Xuantian Sect counter-attacked, they pushed into the Demon Bone Mountain Range and eradicated the Demon Bone Sect."

"But for some reason, the bones of the Demon Bone Sect followers killed by the Xuantian Sect mysteriously moved into a certain abyss canyon, almost filling it up!"

"The canyon there was piled high with white bones, and after thousands of years of cultivation, a highly potent poison has been formed, lingering in the abyss. Ordinary Yangshen warriors, if poisoned and not detoxified promptly, might face life-threatening danger!"

"That place is known as the Skeleton Abyss!"

"This place is now one of the most dangerous places within the Demon Bone Mountain Range."

Lin Bai nodded in understanding.

"Whoosh—"

The speed of Lin Bai and Gu Yuan was incredibly fast, crossing several tens of thousands of miles in a blink.

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, I didn’t expect your spiritual power and speed to be so fast. If I didn’t use my full strength, I might have been left behind long ago," Gu Yuan said with a smile.

Along the way, Gu Yuan had a renewed appreciation for Lin Bai’s strength.

Gu Yuan was surprised to find that Lin Bai not only had extraordinary sword skills but also possessed extremely abundant spiritual power from the Divine Elixir within him, making his speed equally remarkable.

"Senior Brother Gu Yuan overpraises me," Lin Bai replied with a slight smile. This was still his speed without using the flying sword; if he used the flying sword and performed the Sword-controlling Skill, he would likely leave Gu Yuan far behind in an instant!

"We are nearly at the Skeleton Abyss. I have here some Detoxification Pills, Junior Brother Lin Bai. Let’s take them first, just in case." Gu Yuan took out some elixir pills from his storage bag and handed them to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took the elixir pills, examined them carefully, and then directly swallowed them.

"Let’s go."

After taking the elixir pills, Gu Yuan and Lin Bai continued forward.

Suddenly.

Lin Bai stopped abruptly.

Gu Yuan looked at Lin Bai in confusion and asked, "What’s the matter, Junior Brother Lin Bai?"

"Southeast, 10,000 miles away, there’s a faint sense of killing intent and the smell of blood..." Lin Bai turned his gaze towards the southeast.

Gu Yuan was surprised, "You can actually sense killing intent from 10,000 miles away?"

Lin Bai smiled slightly without explaining. Ever since he cultivated the Slaughter Comprehension to the early stage, he had become extremely sensitive to the killing intent emanating within thousands of miles around his surroundings!

"Let’s go take a look." Gu Yuan and Lin Bai then flew towards the southeast.

Before long, Lin Bai had crossed tens of thousands of miles, arriving at the source of the killing intent. The mountain range here was in disarray, as if a bloody battle had taken place, with corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood flowing!

The corpses on the ground were all dressed in the robes of inner disciples of the Xuantian Sect!

"They are all disciples of our Xuantian Sect! They’re the ones who came to investigate abnormalities in the Demon Bone Mountain Range this time!" Before setting off, Gu Yuan received images of the disciples dispatched to the Demon Bone Mountain Range from the sect, allowing him to recognize all the corpses on the ground.

As Lin Bai took a quick scan, he didn’t find Jian Xuan among the corpses, which gave Lin Bai a sense of relief.

Immediately, Lin Bai descended, expanding his Slaughter Comprehension, and discovered a survivor...
