Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Desire for Immortality and Death Fragrance

"The eastern forest?"

Lin Bai turned his head for a glance, his gaze shooting into the forest in the east.

Ye Suxin was Lin Bai’s sworn enemy, and she held a high position in the Spirit Sword Sect. If he could kill her and not give her a chance to fight back, that would be best for Lin Bai.

Otherwise, if he let Ye Suxin go, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain, creating endless troubles for him.

Today, Ye Suxin had taught Lin Bai a good lesson, he had failed to kill Ye Suxin in their previous encounter, and now he had almost died at her hand.

"Can you let me go now?" Luo Qianqiu stared at Lin Bai, asking anxiously.

Luo Qianqiu was very afraid that Lin Bai wouldn’t let him go. After all, he was currently at odds with Lin Bai, and his position was weak in comparison.

"Sure."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai smiled lightly and kicked Luo Qianqiu heavily in the abdomen. He shattered Luo Qianqiu’s Dantian, causing Luo Qianqiu to fly out, slamming into a massive tree. He spat out blood and fell to the ground.

"You, you, you ruined my Dantian!" Luo Qianqiu stared at Lin Bai angrily, yelling in rage.

"Since I’ve promised to let you go, you can avoid a death sentence, but you can’t avoid punishment. Otherwise, what if I let you go, and you bring a bunch of Edgeless Sect assassins to hunt me down?" Lin Bai responded with a cold smile.

"Now, by crippling you, I feel a bit more at ease."

"Begone."

Lin Bai sheathed his sword and headed straight for the forest.

"Lin Bai, I, Luo Qianqiu, will never let you go, not in this life or the next!"

Luo Qianqiu glared at Lin Bai’s departing figure, roaring angrily.

By this time, Lin Bai was already a kilometer away.

"Luo Qianqiu said that Ye Suxin went to this eastern forest. She was injured by me at the relics of the Wind God Sect. She shouldn’t have recovered yet."

"If she hasn’t recovered yet, killing her would be easy."

"As for Liu Xuan..."

Lin Bai thought of this man and remembered some things about him.

Liu Liang had originally come with Liu Xuan.

In the Fire Palace, Liu Liang’s talent ranked third.

Liu Xuan ranked fourth. His talent was excellent, but he had one fatal weakness—he was infatuated with beautiful women to the point of distraction.

When they were in the Wind God Sect, Liu Xuan didn’t find the Core Token, so he couldn’t follow Liu Liang into the core area to hunt Lin Bai.

But Liu Xuan had watched with his own eyes as Lin Bai killed his dear elder brother at the Magic Circle of the Inner Gate.

Oozing with killing intent, Lin Bai plunged into the eastern forest.

After advancing a few kilometers, Lin Bai saw bodies of warriors from the Spirit Sword Sect Divine Alliance and the Fire Palace lying haphazardly on the ground.

Obviously, the Divine Alliance’s warriors and those of the Fire Palace had a fierce battle here.

With his sharp gaze, Lin Bai scanned the area and said, "More than a hundred warriors from the Divine Alliance are dead, and over two hundred from the Fire Palace. The battle between the Divine Alliance and the Fire Palace was that fierce?"

Boom——

While Lin Bai was standing in front of the pile of bodies, pondering, there was suddenly an earth-shattering noise from the mountains ahead.

"Is there anyone alive?"

Lin Bai rushed over at great speed and hid in the shadows.

In front of him was a small valley.

The valley was extraordinarily quiet, filled with blossoming flowers, and spirit foxes and birds were circling around.

It was like a paradise away from the rest of the world.

At that moment, an incomparably beautiful woman who was severely injured and filled with anger staggered into the valley, appearing unkempt.

Behind this stunning woman, more than a dozen warriors at the Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm were pursuing her, blocking her way.

"Hahaha, Ye Suxin, the scenery in this valley is nice, why don’t you stop running?"

"Liu Xuan! Do you realize you’ve already stepped one foot into the Ghost Gate Pass? If you know what’s good for you, let me go. Otherwise, not only you, but your Fire Palace will also suffer the consequences."

The man and woman leading the chase were none other than Liu Xuan and Ye Suxin.

After leaving the relics of the Wind God Sect, Ye Suxin found the warriors from the Divine Alliance. She took three days to heal her internal injuries and was about to head back to the Spirit Sword Sect to discuss with Su Cang on how to deal with Lin Bai.

However, just as she was about to leave, Liu Xuan led the warriors of the Fire Palace out.

Liu Xuan, lustful as ever, was like his older brother - the moment he caught sight of Ye Suxin in the Wind God Sect, his eyes shone with a green light.

Liu Xuan originally fancied Lin Zi’er more, but since Zhao Xiansheng of the Ten Kings of Shenwu came along, he dared not make a move on Lin Zi’er.

So, he decided to turn his attention to Ye Suxin instead.

Leveraging on the strength of numbers in the Fire Palace, Liu Xuan declared war against the Divine Alliance directly.

With only a little over a hundred warriors in the Divine Alliance, how could they withstand the assault of over two hundred Fire Palace warriors?

Despite the Divine Alliance warriors fighting bravely and shedding their blood, they only lasted for a short while before the Fire Palace warriors slaughtered them all.

In contrast, the Fire Palace, although they suffered heavy losses, still had over a dozen warriors of the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm surviving.

Standing next to Liu Xuan was a charmingly handsome man, who glanced at the retreating figure of Ye Suxin and gave a faint smile. "Haha, Senior Brother Liu Xuan, you certainly have good taste."

"Of course, Ye Suxin’s beauty is in no way inferior to Lin Zi’er, the pride of the Canghai Yuntai Palace." Liu Xuan grinned widely.

"It seems we are in for a treat today, my brothers." The handsome man laughed.

This handsome man, also at the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm, was Liu Xiu, a top warrior from the Fire Palace who came to the Wind God Sect with Liu Xuan.

Liu Xiu didn’t manage to obtain a Core Token for the core area, so he and Liu Xuan could only search for opportunities within the Inner Gate of the Wind God Sect.

Initially, Liu Xuan planned to take Liu Xiu with him to avenge his older brother against Lin Bai. However, as soon as they set off, they saw Ye Suxin leaving the Wind God Sect with the Divine Alliance warriors.

Driven by lust and fearless of danger, Liu Xuan, who had taken a liking to Ye Suxin, immediately led the Fire Palace warriors to fight against the Divine Alliance.

Liu Xuan didn’t expect that the Divine Alliance warriors would be so determined to protect Ye Suxin that they fought to the death without a single warrior attempting to flee. In the end, although they exterminated the Divine Alliance warriors, the Fire Palace suffered a heavy price.

"Men, light up the ’Desire for Immortality and Death Fragrance’ for us." Liu Xuan said to the warriors behind him with a smile.

"Senior brother, once the ’Desire for Immortality and Death Fragrance’ is lit, its scent will spread for a kilometre. Everything within that radius will become aroused upon smelling it. Wouldn’t we also be..." one of the warriors voiced his concern.

Liu Xuan burst into laughter, retorting, "Since you guys have followed me here, wouldn’t it be unfair if I didn’t let you have a taste of the perks when I reap the benefits?"

"So, senior brother... hahaha, our senior brother is righteous, still thinking of us juniors at this time."

"Senior Brother Liu Xuan, from now on, you’re my big brother. Whatever you say, goes."

"Anyone who dares to oppose Senior Brother Liu Xuan in the future is opposing me, Zhang."

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Liu Xuan is very righteous!"

The warriors were energized, as if pumped up with adrenaline.

Ye Suxin was a rare beauty; in the Shenwu Kingdom, it would be hard to find anyone who could match her looks.

In the meantime, a warrior took out a stick of incense about thirty centimeters long from his storage bag, lit it, and planted it in the ground.

This was the ’Desire for Immortality and Death Fragrance’.

The ’Desire for Immortality and Death Fragrance’ originated from a notorious philanderer a hundred years ago, supposedly based on a formula he found in some ancient ruins.

Once lit, the pleasing scent of this incense would spread for kilometres. More terrifyingly, it would intoxicate any warrior who caught a whiff of it, regardless of gender, with uncontrolled lust.

A century ago, the philanderer used this incense and in just a few years, he secretly ravished thousands of innocent maidens within the Shenwu Kingdom, including the concubines of the imperial palace.

The philanderer’s outrageous acts eventually led to his downfall. When he molested the imperial concubines, the Emperor of Shenwu Kingdom was enraged and sent out a massive army to annihilate him.

Since then, the ’Desire for Immortality and Death Fragrance’ had disappeared.

This stick of incense in Liu Xuan’s possession was a fluke find. It was his only piece, and after it burnt out, there would be no more.
