The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 268 - 267: The Prince’s Movements (Fifth Update)

Chapter 268: Chapter 267: The Prince’s Movements (Fifth Update)

By dusk, a large number of warriors returned from Qitian Mountain Range, heading back to the Imperial Capital.

"I don’t know how the warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace and Spirit Sword Sect are doing, I haven’t seen any of them."

"What on earth was that towering Flame Lotus in the northwest just now? When I went over to take a look, there was nothing but flat land."

"Ah, somehow, I feel like the Feng Shui in the Royal Hunting Garden is a bit odd this year."

"Yeah, there have been too many strange things happening."

Lin Bai casually walked amongst the crowd, overhearing these warriors discussing the gigantic Flame Lotus that appeared in the northwest.

After hearing this, Lin Bai suddenly thought of the man with the Golden Mask, whispering to himself, "Who is this person that possesses a Demonic Martial Soul!"

Getting involved with a warrior who possesses a Demonic Martial Soul is not a good thing.

As a possessor of a Demonic Martial Soul, Lin Bai knew full well its capacity to defy the natural order of things.

If a Martial Soul could be referred to as demonic, it must possess the power to alter one’s fate.

With Lin Bai silently blending into the throng, they returned to the Imperial Capital.

At the city gate, a hulking general stood, checking each warrior’s demon beasts in exchange for Points Tokens.

Murong Qi, from the Canghai Yuntai Palace, looked at Chen Gong and Lu Yuan, Zhang Lingdao not far away, and laughingly said, "No need to look anymore, Lin Bai is as good as dead."

With a sullen face, Chen Gong glared at Murong Qi and refrained from replying.

Lu Yuan reassured, "Elder, don’t worry. In the Qitian Mountain Range, with Junior Brother Lin Bai’s capabilities, as long as he doesn’t provoke those demon beasts above the Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer, no one will be able to kill him."

Chen Gong sighed softly, "Lu Yuan, though I was reluctant to come to the Imperial Capital with you, now that I am here, I hope you won’t run into trouble."

"You keep saying Lin Bai has become very strong, I know he has many secrets, but this heart of worry, I just can’t let go."

Upon hearing this, both Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao were moved.

In the principles of this deteriorating world, for Chen Gong to still worry about the warriors of his Sect was indeed rare.

From a distance, a large group of warriors trod back toward the East City Gate of the Imperial Capital, turning in their demon beasts in exchange for Points Tokens.

Leading them were over six hundred sons and daughters of various princes and kings.

"Why are these children of the princes and kings suddenly moving together?"

"Yeah, how is it that Chu Jiangliu and others are so harmonious?"

"It’s unbelievable."

Many warriors who saw this scene were astonished.

Among the princes and kings, while they appeared jovial on the surface, they were pessimistic behind closed doors. Especially now, with the ascendant power of Qi Wangfu, many of the princes and kings dared not move carelessly for fear of making a misstep and losing everything.

The movement of these over six hundred sons and daughters of princes and kings was a major event in the Imperial Capital.

After Chu Jiangliu had turned in his demon beasts, he walked toward the Four Major Sects.

Seeing the princes and princesses approaching, Murong Qi of the Canghai Yuntai Palace stepped forward with a smile and said, "Murong Qi of the Canghai Yuntaigong at your service, may I ask what brings you to our Palace?"

"Is there anything you need from me? I will certainly do my utmost to serve."

Murong Qi, seeing the princes and princesses approach, had his first thought: they must be here for the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

Because the Canghai Yuntai Palace was the strongest of the Four Major Sects and also had the deepest roots.

Meanwhile, the Fire Palace, was their sycophantic follower.

The Edgeless Sect, a group of assassins.

The Spirit Sword Sect was already in complete disarray from their defeat.

Therefore, after ruling out various possibilities, Murong Qi was sure that these princes, princesses and lords had come to find the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

Chen Gong casually glanced at Murong Qi, feeling slightly nostalgic, and sighed lightly, "Alas, back when the Spirit Sword Sect was at its peak, these princes, princesses and lords should have sought audiences at the Spirit Sword Sect."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Elder, in recent years, several outstanding figures have already emerged among the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect. I believe that our Sect will rise again soon."

Chuckling, Chen Gong responded after hearing Lu Yuan’s words, "I hope so."

Chen Gong, Lu Yuan, and Zhang Lingdao were silently standing by, looking toward the center of the city, waiting for Lin Bai’s return.

Before all the princes, princesses and lords, Chu Jiangliu glanced at Murong Qi and gently smiled, "So it’s Elder Murong. The warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace will be back soon, you can proceed later."

Jim—, um, prince, where are you going to?"

Murong Qi allowed Chu Jiangliu to pass by him without a word after he finished his sentence.

Chu Jiangliu smiled, "I am going to the Spirit Sword Sect."

"What! To the Spirit Sword Sect?" Murong Qiben was so surprised his eyes widened. "What is the prince doing at the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Chu Jiangliu laughed,"That’s my business. Does the prince need to report to your sect?"

Murong Qi blinked in surprise, then laughed, "No, no ..."

But despite his words, Murong Qi’s eyes still held a hint of coldness as he watched Chu Jiangliu and the other princes passing by.

Seeing Chu Jiangliu and the others approaching, Lu Yuan immediately said sternly, "Elder, the princes and princesses are coming."

Chen Gong tightened inwardly and fell silent.

Chu Jiangliu approached with a full face of smiles, first saluted respectfully and laughed, "I wonder if this place is the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Chen Gong returned the salute and said, "I am Chen Gong, the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect. I greet all your highnesses and princesses."

Chu Jiangliu laughed, "So It’s Elder Chen Gong. You are a senior and need not be so formal."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gong was taken aback. When had these princes and princesses become so easygoing?

"We are honored. Given your illustrious statuses and esteemed families’ devotion to the Shenwu Kingdom, thereby ensuring the stability of Shenwu’s territories, such respect is merited."

"May I ask the purpose of your visit to the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Chen Gong asked out of curiosity.

Chu Jiangliu replied, "Nothing major. I just wanted to ask if Lin Bai of your Sect has returned."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gong’s brows furrowed. He thought to himself: Could it be that Lin Bai had offended this group of royal heirs in the range? Were they coming to confront Lin Bai?

On the side, Murong Qi, who had been eavesdropping on Chu Jiangliu and Chen Gong’s conversation, laughed uproariously when he heard this, "Hahaha, prince, did Lin Bai do something to offend you? Rest assured, our Canghai Yuntai Palace warriors will give Lin Bai a rough time."

"I can assure you that there’s no way Lin Bai can leave the Heavenly Mountains Range alive."

Murong Qi chuckled as he said this.

Hearing his words, the faces of Chu Jiangliu and the other princes and princesses grew cold.

Especially Chu Jiangliu, he glared at a cold-faced Murong Qi and declared, "If Lin Bai dies, I, Chu Jiangliu, swear that none of the disciples of Canghai Yuntai Palace will leave the Imperial Capital alive this year!"
