Chapter 197: Chapter 197: The Intensified Divine Alliance

When Lin Bai left White Cloud Peak to head for the Sword Alliance’s headquarters.

On the other end of the Spirit Sword Sect, inside the headquarters of the Divine Alliance.

Ye Suxin was sitting, dazed, by the window on the second floor of a vermilion building. She gazed out at the clouds, a tear trickling down her cheek.

She looked down at her own arm.

Originally, there was a cinnabar mole on her arm, but it was now gone.

"Suxin."

Just then, a lavishly dressed Su Cang walked into the vermilion building with a brilliant, warm smile on his face.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Suxin quickly wiped away her tears and forced a slight smile onto her face.

Su Cang took a few steps forward and laughed, "Why didn’t you tell me when you got back? I was in seclusion, if it wasn’t for the Divine Alliance Warrior notifying me, I wouldn’t even have known about your return."

Su Cang came up to Ye Suxin, looked down, and saw the tear streaks on her face. His smile immediately froze and, with concern, asked, "Suxin, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

"Brother Cang, I... I’m fine." Ye Suxin awkwardly smiled.

Su Cang thought for a moment and said, "Oh, have you managed to kill Lin Bai?"

Upon hearing the name Lin Bai, Ye Suxin shivered, a faint killing intent radiating from her, she then shook her head and said, "No... he has already broken through to the Eighth Level of the Earth Martial Realm. I’m no match for him."

"What! The Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm! He hasn’t been in the Spirit Sword Sect for long, how could he have progressed so quickly?" Su Cang exclaimed.

"In the Relics of the Wind God Sect, there is a Time Cultivation Tower. Time flows faster inside, and Lin Bai has been training in it for a long time, so he progressed very quickly," Ye Suxin said casually.

"I was right all along, leaving this man alive would definitely have become a huge threat to me. Hmph, I absolutely cannot let him live!"

"I remember he once said on No Return Cliff that after three months, he would accept the challenges from all the Earth Martial Realm experts of Spirit Sword Sect. Looking at the dates, the time should have arrived."

"This time, I’m going to make sure he falls off No Return Cliff!"

Su Cang stated menacingly.

"No Return Cliff..." Upon hearing this, Ye Suxin also recalled what Lin Bai had once said. Suddenly, a flash of killing intent appeared in her eyes.

Su Cang said, "Suxin, you just got back and must be tired from the journey. Leave this matter to me, I’ll take care of it."

"Brother Cang, what are you planning to do?" Ye Suxin asked curiously.

With a cruel smile, Su Cang said, "Murong Yeshen has returned to the Spirit Sword Sect. I’ve ordered him to take care of it. Lin Bai is certainly going to die."

On hearing this, Ye Suxin exclaimed, "Murong Yeshen, the one who ranks eleventh on the Inner Gate Top Hundred List?"

"Yes, Murong Yeshen has reached the state of Great Perfection Realm. Killing Lin Bai would be as easy as turning his hand," Su Cang said with a cold smirk.

Ye Suxin lowered her eyes slightly.

Hearing that Murong Yeshen was going to kill Lin Bai, Ye Suxin’s heart suddenly felt a dull ache, as if someone had brutally twisted it.

...

Sword Alliance headquarters.

"Ah, Lin Bai, you finally came back. If you hadn’t come back, the Sword Alliance was about to pack up and head to the Wind God Sect to find you."

Seeing Lin Bai come to the Sword Alliance headquarters, Lijian Xing was overjoyed.

"Lin Bai, are you okay?" Sun Qian, Kong Fang, Wang Hao, and others all stepped forward, full of concern.

"Hehe, I’m fine," Lin Bai replied with a light smile.

When Lin Bai entered the Sword Alliance, he did see a large number of warriors gathered, nearly five hundred people in total.

At that time, Lin Bai was very curious, why had so many Sword Alliance Warriors gathered all of a sudden?

Hearing Lijian Xing say that he was planning to gather all the members of the Sword Alliance to go to the Wind God Sect to find Lin Bai.

Hearing this, Lin Bai was slightly touched.

"Jian Xing, since you’ve realized the Sword Intention, if you have time, let’s spar," Lin Bai said with a light smile.

Lijian Xing wryly shook his head and said, "If it were anyone else, I would’ve accepted their invitation, but you... Haha, I’m not sick, there’s no need to ask for a beating."

"Actually, a spar is the best way to hone one’s Martial Arts Will. In a few days, let’s spar. You might gain insights into your Martial Arts Will and progress further," Lin Bai said with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, Lijian Xing smiled and nodded immediately, "Alright, let’s spar in a few days."

"Hmm," Lin Bai nodded, chuckling softly.

Just then, a Sword Alliance Warrior rushed in frantically.

"Not good, Senior Brother Lijian Xing, there’s trouble!"

The Sword Alliance Warrior rushed in, sweating profusely, and spoke anxiously to Lijian Xing.

"What’s wrong?" Lijian Xing asked.

Lin Bai was also keenly observing this man.

The warrior anxiously blurted out, "Senior Brother Lijian Xing, Ye Beibei and others were captured by the Divine Alliance. They are claiming that Ye Beibei stole Elixir Pills from the Alchemy Pavilion, and was caught red-handed by Qian Dongjin of the Divine Alliance. He is currently leading them to the Sword Alliance to accuse us."

"Beibei? How is that possible?" Lijian Xing fumed in anger upon hearing this.

Lin Bai, out of curiosity, asked, "Who is Ye Beibei?"

Lijian Xing replied, "Beibei is the daughter of an Elder in the Sword Alliance. Although her cultivation isn’t very high, she is kind-hearted, innocent and adorable. She is well-liked and supported by the warriors in the Sword Alliance, like a little princess among us. She would never stoop to such thievery."

"Besides, her father is an alchemist at the Alchemy Pavilion. If she wanted Elixir Pills, she could simply ask her father. Why would she need to steal them?"

Instantly, at this moment.

A Warrior outside the Sword Alliance headquarters laughed wildly, "You Sword Alliance scumbags, come out and face me. Look at your Sword Alliance Warrior, stealing Elixir Pills from the Alchemy Pavilion. What an utter disgrace!"

Lijian Xing and others left the Sword Alliance headquarters.

At the same time, the entire Sword Alliance mobilized, with all the warriors marching out; over five hundred strong, their momentum was intimidating.

Lijian Xing, Lin Bai, Sun Qian, Wang Hao, and others led the more than five hundred Sword Alliance Warriors to the entrance of the Sword Alliance.

Lin Bai looked on. At the entrance to the Sword Alliance, a young man at the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm was holding a terribly wounded young girl, his face beaming with an exceptionally smug smile as he watched the Sword Alliance warriors that had just walked out.

"Qian Dongjin, let Beibei go!" Lijian Xing roared furiously.

All of the Sword Alliance warriors could see that Ye Beibei was covered in blood, her breath was weak, she barely had a life left.

"You goddamn bastard, let Ye Beibei go!"

"Mad, you Divine Alliance, are you looking for death?"

The Sword Alliance warriors, seeing their beloved little princess Ye Beibei in such a state, immediately started cursing and roaring in anger.

The over five hundred Sword Alliance warriors unsheathed their sharp swords as if they were ready to fight the Divine Alliance to the death.

Qian Dongjin threw Ye Beibei to the ground and scoffed, "There you have it, your Sword Alliance trash. She was caught stealing Elixir Pills in the Alchemy Pavilion. Hmph, if it weren’t for my relationship with the Sword Alliance, I would have sent her directly to the Enforcement Hall. I personally brought Ye Beibei back to you. The Sword Alliance better discipline its members properly. If anything like this happens again, it would truly be disgraceful."

"I... Didn’t.... steal any pills... You’re... Smearing... My name..." Ye Beibei, deeply wounded, barely able to move, with every bone in her body broken, still managed to refute Qian Dongjin’s slander.

"You’re talking nonsense. Ye Beibei’s father is an alchemist at the Alchemy Pavilion. If she wanted Elixir Pills, why the hell would she steal them?"

"Qian Dongjin, didn’t even bother making up a good lie, did you?"

The Sword Alliance warriors immediately retorted.

Qian Dongjin, neither admitting nor denying, casually laughed, "Whatever. I saw her stealing the pills. That’s all, I’ve already brought her back to you. You don’t need to thank me. After all, I am an Inner Disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, it’s my duty to maintain order."

Qian Dongjin laughed, acting like a victor.

"I’ll take my leave."

Qian Dongjin slightly smiled, then turned to leave.

Lin Bai could tell that Qian Dongjin was clearly here to pick a fight. The whole Ye Beibei stealing Elixir Pills case was pure fabrication, and even Qian Dongjin’s made-up reasoning was full of loopholes.

It’s estimated that even Qian Dongjin himself doesn’t believe this reason.

"Stop!" Lijian Xing shouted furiously.

Qian Dongjin wanted to leave, but hearing the roar from Lijian Xing, he turned back, laughing coldly, "Humph, what? Lijian Xing, do you want to fight me? I’m free right now. Come on, I’ll reluctantly offer you some guidance on your martial skills."
