Chapter 220: Chapter 219: The whereabouts of the spiritual object (12th update!)

Divine Alliance Headquarters.

After the Battle of No Return Cliff, Su Cang returned to his residence filled with rage.

Soon afterward, Ye Suxin came looking for Su Cang.

"Suxin, you’re here, I was about to find you."

"You were too impulsive, challenging Lin Bai. If this demon becomes mad, and kills you, how am I going to live."

Su Cang said, his heart filled with sorrow and anger.

Ye Suxin had a blank expression on her face, looking somewhat wooden, as if she hadn’t heard Su Cang’s words.

Su Cang took a step forward, hoping to take Ye Suxin’s hand.

Yet, as Su Cang approached, Ye Suxin immediately retreated, her hands behind her back. She watched Su Cang warily, and stammered nervously, "Brother Cang, I... I came to say goodbye."

"Goodbye? Where are you going?" Su Cang asked anxiously.

"I’m going back to the Miracle Ridge. There are some things I need to think about, I can’t figure it out here," Ye Suxin said in a low voice. "Uncle Ling has already come to pick me up, we’re leaving soon."

Su Cang asked anxiously, "So soon?"

"Mm," Ye Suxin barely nodded, "Brother Cang, do your best in your practice, I’ll wait for you at the Miracle Ridge."

With that, Ye Suxin pushed the door and left.

Su Cang quickly chased after her, intending to embrace Ye Suxin from behind.

"Suxin, don’t leave me. How am I supposed to live if you’re gone?"

Said Su Cang, his face filled with sorrow.

Just as Su Cang stretched out his arms, ready to embrace Ye Suxin...

Outside the door, a shadow flashed. It appeared in front of Su Cang, his face icy cold, radiating an everlasting chill.

Only when Su Cang hugged him did he realize that this person was burly, unlike Ye Suxin.

Lifting his head, he saw a pair of boundlessly cold eyes looking directly at him.

"Lin... Senior Ling," Su Cang, sweating profusely, was scared to the point of kneeling on the ground.

This cold-faced middle-aged man looked at Su Cang and coldly stated, "Su Cang, remember your position; you’re not yet qualified to approach the young lady within three steps!"

"Ultimately, you are nothing more than an... ant."

"Yes, yes, I Junior knows his mistake," Su Cang said, his face full of panic.

"Hmph, I don’t know what the young lady sees in you," Senior Ling huffed coldly. His eyes were filled with disdain and contempt for Su Cang.

Senior Ling turned around. The frostiness on his face softened slightly as he said respectfully, "Young lady, let’s go. We’re going back to the Miracle Ridge."

"Mm."

Ye Suxin nodded slightly and left Spirit Sword Sect with Senior Ling.

After Senior Ling left, Su Cang’s panic quickly turned into an enormous rage: "Ling Wu! You’ll regret this. The humiliation you inflicted on me today, I will repay you a hundred times over!"

"And you Ye Suxin, you bitch. You’ve been unclear with Lin Bai, who knows if he has touched you all over. When I reach out to touch your hand, you even recoil!"

"Damn it! Wait till I rise. How can I not kill you all!"

"Lin Bai, you’ve taken everything from me."

"You’ve destroyed the Divine Alliance, an organization I put my heart and soul into building over ten years!"

"You’ve impeded my path to getting onto this big ship, Ye Suxin!"

"What Ye Suxin? I don’t give a damn about you. What I care about is my Martial Arts path!"

"Lin Bai, unless I tear you to a thousand pieces, I won’t be able to quell my hatred!"

Su Cang clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, grinding his teeth in rage, roaring in the room.

"Where is Qi Yang? Isn’t he supposed to kill Lin Bai for me..."

Su Cang roared in fury.

...

Early the next day, a warrior from the Task Hall came to White Cloud Peak to find Lin Bai.

"Is Senior Brother Lin Bai here?" The warrior asked excitedly.

That day, Lin Bai’s triumphant victory at the No Return Cliff, specifically his killing of Murong Yeshen, propelled him to the eleventh place in the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking. He became the foremost individual under the Heaven Martial Realm in the Spirit Sword Sect and was revered and emulated by all disciples of the sect.

Lin Bai opened the door to see the warrior, asking, "What do you need?"

The warrior said excitedly, "Senior Brother Lin Bai, Elder Zhang from the Task Hall sent me to notify you. The item you are looking for has been located. Elder Zhang requests your immediate presence at the Task Hall."

"The item I’m looking for?" Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s eyes lit up with excitement as he asked, "Does that mean the spiritual object I’m after has been found? I didn’t expect to get my hands on something so valuable."

"I’ll head to the Task Hall right away."

At once, Lin Bai descended White Cloud Peak and headed straight to the Task Hall.

Lin Bai had previously posted an astronomical reward at the Task Hall of ten million spiritual stones for the discovery of a Five Elements Top-quality Spirit Item.

More than half a month had passed since then, and finally, a disciple came with news.

For Lin Bai at that time, acquiring a top-quality spiritual item was a blessing indeed. It would aid Lin Bai in condensing the Five Elements Spirit Vortex, thereby enhancing the True Qi within him.

Upon arriving at the Task Hall, Lin Bai’s presence immediately caused a stir.

"Isn’t that Lin Bai?"

"Indeed, that’s Senior Brother Lin Bai. He’s currently the foremost individual under the Heaven Martial Realm."

"Yes, he is."

"Hello, Senior Brother Lin Bai."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lin Bai."

Along the way, many disciples smiled and showed their respect to Lin Bai.

And Lin Bai, responding with a smile towards each of them, proceeded directly to the back hall of the Task Hall.

"Senior Brother Lin Bai has gone to the back hall. He must be about to undertake some earth-shattering mission."

"I heard a rumor that Elder Zhang invited Senior Brother Lin Bai."

"Yes, I heard the same. Apparently, Senior Brother Lin Bai is seeking a Five Elements spiritual object..."

In the Task Hall, many warriors gathered together, chattering and discussing amongst themselves.

When Lin Bai arrived at the back hall, Elder Zhang had already been waiting for him for a long time.

Now when Elder Zhang saw Lin Bai again, his face was filled with smiles and admiration.

Today’s Lin Bai wasn’t the same novice warrior who had just arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect. The current Lin Bai was the leading individual under the Heaven Martial Realm in the Spirit Sword Sect.

"Ah, Lin Bai, it feels like ages since I’ve last seen you," Elder Zhang said with a hearty laugh.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "That’s quite an exaggeration, Elder Zhang. Did anyone take up my task?"

Elder Zhang laughed and said, "Indeed, two disciples do know the whereabouts of the Thousand Years Spirit Medicine."

"They are currently waiting for you in the private room in the back hall. Please follow me."

"Alright."

Lin Bai responded and followed Elder Zhang into the back hall.

In the private room, two men sat facing each other, one with a countenance as cold as ice, the other with a carefree smile on his face.

"Ye Guxing, Nanli Dao!"

Lin Bai was slightly surprised when he saw the two as he entered the private room.

Ye Guxing and Nanli Dao were acquaintances of Lin Bai. They had joined the Spirit Sword Sect at the same time and participated in the re-examination test together.

Afterwards, both Ye Guxing and Nanli Dao joined the ten grand elders of the Spirit Sword Sect and began their cultivation under their guidance, rarely appearing within the sect anymore.

"So, it was you, Lin Bai, who posted the astronomical reward for the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Medicine," Nanli Dao said with a light laugh.

Ye Guxing, who was a man of few words, looked up nonchalantly when he heard Lin Bai’s name. He studied Lin Bai quietly, his gaze lingering on him for a moment longer.
