Chapter 191: Chapter 191: The Edgeless Sect’s Assassin

Bai Xiaoxiao stepped forward, worriedly said, "Lin Bai, are you alright? Just now, Zhao Xiansheng..."

"We’ve already met." There was a hint of murderous intent in Lin Bai’s eyes.

Vast Ocean Yuntai Palace, Zhao Xiansheng, Lin Zi’er, one day, Lin Bai would set foot on the land of Vast Ocean Yuntai Palace, and it would be reduced to scorched earth.

"Thank you for your help in the canyon earlier, Princess Chang," Lin Bai changed the subject, smiling as he spoke. "Otherwise, I would have had to expend more effort to escape."

Bai Xiaoxiao gave a slight smile, "It’s alright, you were kind to Paper Kite, of course I couldn’t stand by idly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai turned to look at Paper Kite.

Paper Kite ran over, smiling cheerily, and cried out, "Lin Bai, I’ve missed you so much."

Bai Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Paper Kite back, laughing as she said to Lin Bai, "Hehe, Paper Kite is the Ninth Princess, she’s also the daughter our father has loved most since childhood, so she’s a bit uncouth. Don’t take it to heart, Lin Bai."

"It’s alright, the Ninth Princess’s innocence is refreshing. She’s lively and cute. In a chaotic world like this, it’s really quite nice to have someone so unspoiled," said Lin Bai. He didn’t mind Paper Kite’s behavior, and merely chuckled lightly.

While Lin Bai was chatting with Bai Xiaoxiao and Paper Kite, all three of them felt many eyes staring at Lin Bai from the shadows.

"You’re being watched." Bai Xiaoxiao said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai glanced at the people hiding in the shadows.

These warriors were simply after the top-tier cultivation skill Lin Bai possessed. But lacking in strength as they were, they could only lurk in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

"Join us. With the royal guards around, they wouldn’t dare to act," Bai Xiaoxiao suggested.

"It’s alright. If they’re not afraid of dying, they can come and give it a try," Lin Bai said with a slight smile, completely unfazed by anyone coveting the Wind God Skill.

"Well then, if there’s nothing else, I should take my leave, Princess Chang, Princess Jiuyi," Lin Bai said, saluting them.

"Lin Bai, when will you come to play with me?" Paper Kite asked anxiously upon hearing Lin Bai’s decision to leave.

"If the opportunity arises, I’ll make sure to come visit you when I go to Imperial City," Lin Bai said, patting Paper Kite’s head with a smile.

"Deal! I’ll wait for you in Imperial City then. You must come!" Paper Kite cried out, beaming with joy.

"Mmm."

Lin Bai gave a short laugh, said his goodbyes to Bai Xiaoxiao and Paper Kite, and strode out of Withered Mountain Ridge alone.

"Let’s go, we should head back to Imperial City too," Bai Xiaoxiao said to Paper Kite, and under the protection of their guards, the two set off for Imperial City.

Their journey had been in vain— they were held back by Zhao Xiansheng for far too long, and by now, the treasures hidden in the Wind God Sect’s relics had pretty much been stolen by others.

Going treasuring hunting at this point would clearly be wasteful.

Having exited Withered Mountain Ridge, Lin Bai walked silently through the forest.

"Why don’t you guys come out? Do you still want to follow me?"

All of a sudden, Lin Bai stopped. There was a hint of annoyance on his face as he spoke to the shadows.

"Heh, your sensing abilities are pretty good. No wonder you’re a genius who can keep up with Lin Zi’er."

A cold voice echoed through the forest, followed by the rustle of swaying leaves.

Behind him, a dozen or so figures appeared, each of them possessing the strength of a level-nine Earth Martial Realm warrior.

Lin Bai turned around and took a look. The group was diverse in height and body type, but all bore a menacing aura.

These cold-faced individuals seemed more like trained soldiers than loose cultivators.

"Who are you?" Lin Bai asked coldly.

The man leading the group was grinning, "Edgeless Sect, Luo Qianqiu."

"Luo Qianqiu? I don’t know who that is." Lin Bai shook his head, "We’ve never met before. Why are you following me?"

You’ve got to be kidding. You don’t know the famous Jade Rakshasa of the Shenwu Kingdom?

"Hmph, he probably doesn’t know of our fame yet."

"It seems that we brothers haven’t shown our faces in the Shenwu Kingdom for a long time, too many people have forgotten us."

Upon hearing the three words "Yu Luosha", Lin Bai’s face changed slightly.

Yu Luosha was one of the top assassins in the Shenwu Kingdom, famous for his many assassinations of the Four Major Sects and the royal family. His most renowned battle was a year ago when a Heaven Martial Realm warrior from the Canghai Yuntai Palace died at his hands.

At that time, the Canghai Yuntai Palace was furious and the Ten Kings of Shenwu personally spoke out, vowing to hunt down Yu Luosha to the ends of the earth.

After that assassination, Yu Luosha disappeared within the Shenwu Kingdom, and no one knew where he went.

Although Lin Bai was new to the martial world, he still knew a bit about Yu Luosha’s reputation.

"What does the Edgeless Sect have to do with you?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Luo Qianqiu smiled and said, "The Edgeless Sect is the largest assassin organization in the Shenwu Kingdom, specialized in training genius assassins, and I am one of the best among the young generation."

"Lin Bai, you should thank me. You left quickly, and I eliminated the tail behind you."

"As a reward, I want to borrow something from you."

Luo Qianqiu said with a smile in his eyes, emitting an unusual glint.

"What is it?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"The Wind God Skill." Luo Qianqiu said with a smile.

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Lin Bai laughed, as expected, he came for the Wind God Skill.

"What if I don’t lend it?" Lin Bai laughed lightly, asking ominously.

"Then I’ll just have to take it myself." Luo Qianqiu said with a smile.

With an impassive expression, Lin Bai calmly unsheathed his Sinister Wind Sword and asked with a smile, "How do you intend to take it?"

"Lin Bai, don’t think that you can do as you please just because you defeated Lin Zi’er. I tell you, I have at least a hundred ways to make you die without a full corpse." Luo Qianqiu said with a sneer.

"You’re right, I understood the truth ’There’s always someone better’ since I was a child. However, I believe that with my cultivation, killing you is more than enough." Lin Bai replied with a faint smile.

"How dare you! Speaking to us like that’s looking for death!"

"Senior Brother Luo, you don’t need to act, I can easily kill him."

No sooner had Lin Bai finished speaking, than those ten-odd warriors behind Luo Qianqiu surged towards him.

"If you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then you can just die." Luo Qianqiu lost any desire to carry on wrangling with Lin Bai.

"Attack!"

Upon the order, the dozen or so Edgeless Sect warriors who had come with Luo Qianqiu rushed up altogether.

The Edgeless Sect was the largest assassin organization in the Shenwu Kingdom, but it was also one of the Four Major Sects.

For years, the Edgeless Sect had been assassinating various figures in the Shenwu Kingdom for commissions.

The Canghai Yuntai Palace, Fire Palace, Shenwu Royal Family, and other powers were all regular clients of the Edgeless Sect.

But why was the Edgeless Sect still in existence?

Because the martial artists of the entire Shenwu Kingdom didn’t know where the Edgeless Sect’s mountain gate truly was.

Once, the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace jointly searched the entire Shenwu Kingdom for a whole year, but failed to find any trace of the Edgeless Sect.

Moreover, the disciples and assassins trained by the Edgeless Sect would rather die than surrender. Once caught, they would immediately commit suicide, utterly ruthless and leaving no chance for interrogation.

"Evil Spirit Devours Heart!"

"Fierce Tiger Slash!"

"Black Demon Fist!"

The dozen or so Edgeless Sect assassins ferociously charged, unleashing the power of the Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm before Lin Bai. It was like a building on the verge of collapse, with a storm about to dawn, a terrifying sight!

Lin Bai tightly held the Sinister Wind Sword and quickly retreated.

Avoiding the initial onslaught, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent.

"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill, The Wind Blows and The Sea Blows!"

With a swing of the sword, a shocking storm was whipped up and swept out, shattering everything and crashing into the assailants.

Bang, bang, bang -

These dozen or so assassins were sent flying by Lin Bai’s sword, landing hundreds of meters away, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
