Qian Dongjin was carried back to the Divine Alliance Headquarters. Seeing his injuries, all the warriors of the Divine Alliance were collectively furious.

At this moment, Ye Suxin happened to be at the headquarters, her voice cold as she asked.

"Who injured him?" questioned Ye Suxin.

"It was Lin Bai. He returned and incredibly, in just a few short months, cultivated to the eighth level of the Earth Martial Realm. His battle prowess is extraordinary. He beat Senior Brother Qian to this state!" one of the warriors rattled off.

"Lin Bai! Where is he?" As soon as Ye Suxin heard this, she immediately erupted in immense anger.

The warrior shivered under the sudden cold gaze of Ye Suxin, stuttered out: "He is currently at the Sword Alliance!"

"Hmph!" Ye Suxin snorted, swiftly marching out of the Divine Alliance Headquarters.

As she left, an arrogant young man strode in. Seeing Ye Suxin, he greeted her with a smile, "Ah, it’s Junior Sister Ye, no offense intended. I am Murong Yeshen."

Ye Suxin didn’t even bother to acknowledge Murong Yeshen and swiftly left the Divine Alliance Headquarters.

Murong Yeshen, hailed as the prime warrior of the Inner Sect’s Earthly Martial Realm, was undefeatable with his mastery to the Great Perfection state.

Murong Yeshen’s life was filled with legends. Since he joined the Spirit Sword Sect, every opponent he faced, he defeated in one move.

From the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect, till now, no one forced him to perform a second move.

With such a glorious record and remarkable talent, naturally, Murong Yeshen was an unparalleled figure.

"Senior Brother Murong!"

"Senior Brother Murong has returned!"

"Good heavens! The undefeated legend of the Inner Sect!"

"We meet again, Senior Brother Murong."

Many Divine Alliance Warriors were visibly thrilled upon seeing Murong Yeshen.

Murong Yeshen watched Ye Suxin’s retreating figure, asking the warriors around him: "What’s up with Junior Sister Ye? She looked quite upset?"

"Senior Brother Murong, Lin Bai from Sword Alliance just injured Senior Brother Qian. As soon as Senior Sister Ye heard this, she flared up with rage and headed towards the Sword Alliance to seek revenge!" Some warriors eagerly relayed this to Murong Yeshen.

"Lin Bai, the one who is to receive challenges from all Spirit Sword Sect warriors at No Return Cliff tomorrow?" Murong Yeshen asked dismissively upon hearing the news.

"Yes, it’s him." The warriors agreed.

"Daring to provoke my Divine Alliance, I want to see if you possess three heads and six arms!" After pontificating, Murong Yeshen also left the Divine Alliance.

...

Lin Bai had just left the Sword Alliance Headquarters.

He walked through the mountains and forests of the Spirit Sword Sect, heading for White Cloud Peak.

"Lin Bai!"

When Lin Bai was walking on the path, an angry roar suddenly came from ahead.

Upon hearing that, Lin Bai looked up to see Ye Suxin, her face filled with fury and her eyes riddled with murderous intent as she stalked towards him.

"What is bound to come will eventually come, one can’t escape it." Lin Bai stated quietly and moved towards Ye Suxin.

Lin Bai had spent a long time on White Cloud Peak, but he could not figure out a solution to this problem.

As such, Lin Bai was at a loss for how to face Ye Suxin.

Did they remain enemies after everything? Or had it evolved to something more?

If they were not enemies, what relationship did they share?

Friends?

Strangers?

Or lovers?

With a determined expression, Lin Bai stood still about a hundred meters away from Ye Suxin.

As soon as he was at a hundred-meter distance, Ye Suxin swiftly drew her sword. A cold gleam flashed as she aimed straight for Lin Bai’s heart.

"Lin Bai, prepare to die!"

Without any explanation, Ye Suxin thrust her sword.

Lin Bai remained in place, immobile.

Splash—

The sound of the sword piercing flesh echoed.

Ye Suxin’s sword penetrated Lin Bai’s body, splattering blood.

This sword was aimed directly at Lin Bai’s heart.

But when Ye Suxin realized that Bai wasn’t attempting to dodge, her expression changed abruptly. She abruptly halted her sword, stopping it an inch away from Lin Bai’s heart.

If Ye Suxin advanced the sword another inch, it could pierce Lin Bai’s heart.

"Why didn’t you dodge? Why didn’t you draw your sword?" A baffled Ye Suxin stared at Lin Bai and asked, surprisingly.

"My sword is for killing enemies," Lin Bai replied placidly.

The sword, embedded into his flesh, left him bleeding profusely, whitening his complexion speedily.

Blood cascaded down from his chest, flowing like a small river.

"Aren’t we enemies?" Ye Suxin coldly asked.

"I don’t know whether I should still regard you as my enemy," Lin Bai responded in a bitter tone.

Ye Suxin’s face was stern as ever, her facial muscles twitching slightly.

Lin Bai knew that Ye Suxin was contemplating whether to drive her sword through his heart.

Splash—

Ye Suxin withdrew her sword, splattering warm blood on the ground.

The intense pain contorted Lin Bai’s face for a moment. As soon as Ye Suxin withdrew her sword, Lin Bai fell to his knees in weakness.

The heart is an exceptionally fragile part of every individual, human or warrior.

It is a person’s Achilles’ heel.

Even though Lin Bai had reached the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm, this sword aimed straight for his heart dealt him a severe wound.

Ye Suxin coldly said to Lin Bai, "Draw your sword, let us have a fair fight. Only one of us can survive."

"It’s pointless, I’m not going to kill you." Lin Bai shook his head, his face pale.

"If it had been half a month ago, I would have drawn my sword to kill you if you took one step towards me."

"But what happened half a month ago..."

Lin Bai weakly spoke.

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai mention the incident from half a month ago, Ye Suxin became furious. She launched a kick at Lin Bai’s chest, landing on his sword wound and sending him flying over a hundred meters away.

The kick to his sword wound fractured Lin Bai’s heart.

Thud—

Lin Bai rolled a hundred meters away, blood spewing from his mouth. His heart was damaged and was on the verge of stopping.

"Cough, cough—" Lin Bai started coughing violently, each bout of coughing spraying blood from his mouth.

At the moment, Lin Bai was severely injured. Ye Suxin had landed two heavy blows on him which hit his weakest spot, a fatal point!

Lin Bai was seriously injured within a split second.

"If you agree, I’ll take responsibility, I’ll marry you," Lin Bai managed to stand up weakly. Looking at Ye Suxin with a serious gaze, even though his face was pale and sallow.

"If you agree, I’d marry you."

Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Ye Suxin was shocked, glaring at him and saying resentfully, "Lin Bai, don’t you know how much damage you’ve caused me?"

"Can’t you see the sword scar on my back?"

"You think I could love a man who tried to kill me in every possible way?"

Ye Suxin shouted in anger.

"I’m sorry," Lin Bai shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Heh, no need to apologize, Lin Bai. It was me who ambushed you, and you did not want to fight, which is why you got injured."

"Once you’re healed, Lin Bai, we’ll have a fair fight—either you die, or I live!"

Ye Suxin declared determinedly.

Lin Bai replied, "You can’t win against me."

Ye Suxin stubbornly retorted, "That’s not for you to decide! It’s a fight between us—either you kill me or I kill you!"

"I’m not going to kill you... My father once told me, being a couple for a day is like experiencing a hundred..." Lin Bai quietly spoke.

"Shut up, don’t mention that matter again, there’s no ’couple’ between us!" Ye Suxin, enraged, charged at Lin Bai again, kicking him in the chest, sending him flying once more.

Three techniques, each deadly blow hit Lin Bai’s vulnerable points.

"My father once said, being a couple for a day is like experiencing a hundred days of grace. Regardless of how the matter started, I should take responsibility for what I did."

"Being a sword cultivator, I need a clear conscience to wield the sword in my hand!"

Whoosh—

As soon as Lin Bai spit out these words,

His sword intention broke through!

He reached the late stage of the first order of sword intention!

No guilty conscience while following the path of the sword!

A man should be responsible, he should bear the responsibility for his actions, no matter how terrible the consequences might be.

Brave men should wield their swords in the world, not just when they achieve something.

A sword cultivator should have a clear conscience in the world, killing those who deserve to die, drinking spirits, achieving whatever they should, and dancing with their sword.

No matter the impermanence of the six realms or the turmoil of the world, my only wish is to have a clear conscience, to live freely for a lifetime, to feel worthy of my sword every time I unsheathe it.

Sword cultivators live for death, without guilt, even if one day Yama takes them, sword cultivators can leave easily because they are already dead and have no regrets.

Sword cultivators live for death, fear neither the past nor the future.

Sword cultivators live for death; they are even fearless of death. What else in the world can frighten them?

Ye Suxin stared at Lin Bai in shock. In her memory, Lin Bai was a man who decisively slaughtered others. He once pursued her for a long time intending not to leave any trouble behind.

However, at this time, Lin Bai showed such a loyal and righteous side.

Could it be true that the tender township was a hero’s grave?

Lin Bai said, "I’m not going to kill you."

"Lin Bai, the next time we meet, if you still refuse to draw your sword and resign to your fate, I will not tolerate you as I did today. I will kill you on the spot. I hope the next time we meet, you can have a life-and-death fight with me like a real man!"

"Either you die or I live, that’s how we’ll settle our scores!" Ye Suxin said coldly.

After speaking, Ye Suxin turned around and left abruptly.

Lin Bai watched Ye Suxin’s figure fade into the distance, shook his head helplessly, "It’s good to let her vent."

Slowly, Lin Bai staggered up from the ground and headed towards White Cloud Peak.

Blood continuously seeped out from the wounds on his body. Every step he took, a bloody footprint was left on the ground.

Just at that moment.

A handsome man walked over with an imposing aura and asked, "Are you Lin Bai? Were you injured by Sister Ye Suxin?"

Lin Bai, pale-faced, lifted his head to look at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

"Haha, seems like you’re admitting it, I never expected Ye Suxin to be this powerful, to have injured you to such an extent." The handsome man replied with a slight smile.

"Move aside." Lin Bai didn’t wish to engage in useless chatter with the man. At this moment, Lin Bai’s severely injured body urgently needed to return to White Cloud Peak to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Wait, didn’t you want to know who I am? I’ll tell you, my name is Murong Yeshen!" The handsome man coldly said to Lin Bai.

Swish-

Lin Bai’s face changed dramatically, he lifted his head to look at the man, his face filled with surprise.

He was the unbeatable legend of the Spirit Sword Sect’s Inner Gate! Murong Yeshen!
